Book excerpt: Are you a heroic leader? Or are you a passive follower? Chances are you act like one or the other, and it's doing serious damage to your company, your customers, and your colleagues. The reason behind your harmful behavior? The fear that you'll be held responsible for any failures -which often makes failure the inevitable outcome. Management guru Roger Martin calls this fear of failure and the behavior it causes "The Responsibility Virus." With lively case studies based on real business practice, he shows how the Virus "infects" corporations and nonprofit organizations large and small. No message could be more urgent in today's business climate.Martin lays out a wholly original way of understanding group dynamics. His impassioned belief in the "power of one" will be required reading for any of us who think about how we function in organizations, from the boardroom to the mail room.

But little did Veer know that preparing for the competition would lead him, his brother Jai, and his best friend Vidya on a perilous journey. The journey begins as the trio notices strange signs. They see figures lurking near the house and find small surveillance bugs implanted in their phones. Suddenly they surprisingly overcome their greatest weaknesses and start to uncover fascinating clues. Can their newfound strengths help them with their search for Samir and their attempt to stop the diabolical plan of one of the worlds most powerful corporations?

Book excerpt: Dr Nerida Green is in trouble. Her wife Mari goes into trance and channels intelligent, provocative spirits who are trying to save the world. The beings chose Mari as a 'shell' to speak through.They disrupt and empower Nerida with their heartfelt, quirky, irreverent observations. Teaching about reincarnation, injustice and spiritual evolution, they reject man-made religions. In rousing, cerebral conversations, the spirits call out stupidity, especially when those of low intelligence misuse power, pursuing greed. They have peculiar and startling ideas about viruses. Nerida, who is Aboriginal, resonates with Native American healer M'Hoq Toq's love of the planet and his experience of living in harmony with Nature. Tudor dandy Aedgar leads Nerida through grim terrain but leaves her with a warm glow. The Druid Bartgrinn's forthright declarations energise and terrify Nerida. He makes her laugh, too. She loves and respects each of them. She treasures stubborn, passionate Mari with her stormy history, who does not hear what the spirits say. But when the spirits insist that the Coronavirus was created for evil, Nerida doesn't want to hear it, either. They assert that the virus has developed its own consciousness, a turn of events unanticipated by its creators. What does it mean if a virus has consciousness? Is it a 21st century Frankenstein's monster?The conflict between these ideas and her scientific, medical beliefs threatens to overwhelm Nerida. Who will believe what the spirits tell her? Does she even want them to?Saving lives is Nerida's duty. Allowing disembodied spirit voices to guide her, Nerida risks her relationships, her career, and perhaps her sanity on a strange and inspiring path to knowledge. This offbeat, emotional slow burn is the intimate, riveting and inspiring first novel in the Aedgar Wisdom series.

Book excerpt: "Chan and Ridley write with an urgency...that inspires gripping depictions of what viruses are, how infectious-disease laboratories work and wonderfully lucid descriptions of bats. . . . They powerfully recount how dangerous pathogens can both leak from a lab and emerge in nature." (New York Times Book Review) Understanding how Covid-19 started is crucial for the future of humankind. Viral is the most incisive and authoritative book about the search for the source of the virus. A new virus descended on the human species in 2019 wreaking unprecedented havoc. Finding out where it came from and how it first jumped into people is an urgent priority, but early expectations that this would prove an easy question to answer have been dashed. Nearly two years into the pandemic, the crucial mystery of the origin of SARS-CoV-2 is not only unresolved but has deepened. In this uniquely insightful book, a scientist and a writer join forces to try to get to the bottom of how a virus whose closest relations live in bats in subtropical southern China somehow managed to begin spreading among people more than 1,500 kilometres away in the city of Wuhan. They grapple with the baffling fact that the virus left none of the expected traces that such outbreaks usually create: no infected market animals or wildlife, no chains of early cases in travellers to the city, no smouldering epidemic in a rural area, no rapid adaptation of the virus to its new host—human beings. To try to solve this pressing mystery, Viral delves deep into the events of 2019 leading up to 2021, the details of what went on in animal markets and virology laboratories, the records and data hidden from sight within archived Chinese theses and websites, and the clues that can be coaxed from the very text of the virus’s own genetic code. The result is a gripping detective story that takes the reader deeper and deeper into a metaphorical cave of mystery. One by one the authors explore promising tunnels only to show that they are blind alleys, until, miles beneath the surface, they find themselves tantalisingly close to a shaft that leads to the light.
