With her body in open revolt and surprises invading her peaceful haven, the perfectly balanced seesaw of Rocky's life is tipping towards change.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Author: </span>Newman, Catherine, 1968-<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Published: </span>London : Doubleday, 2024.<br />229 pages ; 23 cm<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">1 reserve</span><br /><br />Amersham Library - (Buckinghamshire Libraries) - Adult fiction - Onloan - Due: 09 Aug 2024 - 95100000428687<br />Aylesbury Library - (Buckinghamshire Libraries) - Adult fiction - Available - 95100000428520<br />Buckingham Library - (Buckinghamshire Libraries) - Adult fiction - In-transit from Buckingham Library to Great Missenden Community Library (Set: 26 Jul 2024) - 95100000428550<br />Farnham Common Community Library - (Buckinghamshire Libraries) - Adult fiction - Onloan - Due: 16 Aug 2024 - 95100000428656<br />Gerrards Cross Community Library - (Buckinghamshire Libraries) - Adult fiction - Onloan - Due: 13 Aug 2024 - 95100000428341<br />High Wycombe Library - (Buckinghamshire Libraries) - Adult fiction - Onloan - Due: 25 Jul 2024 - 95100000428448<br />Iver Heath Community Library - (Buckinghamshire Libraries) - Adult fiction - Available - 95100000428383<br />Princes Risborough Library - (Buckinghamshire Libraries) - Adult fiction - Onloan - Due: 10 Aug 2024 - 95100000428622<br /> https://buckinghamshrire.spydus.co.uk/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/ENQ/WPAC/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&BRN=2437306&CF=BIB&ISGLB=0 When 'Getting Things Done' was published in 2001, it was a game-changer. By revealing the principles of healthy high performance at an individual level, it transformed the experience of work and leisure for millions. Twenty years later, it has become clear that the best way to build on that success is at the team level, and one of the most frequently asked questions by dedicated GTD users is how to get an entire team onboard. By building on the effectiveness of what GTD does for individuals, this book will offer a better way of working in an organisation, while simultaneously nourishing a culture that allows individuals' skills to flourish. Using case studies from some of the world's most successful companies, the book shows how the principles of team productivity improve communication, enable effective execution and reduce stress on team members.

From childhood she grew increasingly troublesome, experimenting with sedatives like laudanum, and she had a special governess to control her. As the niece of Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, she was already well connected, and her courtly skills resulted in her marriage to the Hon. William Lamb (later Lord Melbourne) at the age of 19. For a few years they enjoyed a happy marriage, despite Lamb's siblings and mother-in-law detesting her and referring to her as 'the little beast'. In 1812 Caroline embarked on a well-publicised affair with the poet Lord Byron - he was 24, she 26. Her phrase 'mad, bad and dangerous to know' became his lasting epitaph. When he broke things off, Caroline made increasingly public attempts to reunite. Her obsession came to define much of her later life, as well as influencing her own writing, and Byron's.
