Description

<p>In 1066, the rivalry between two brothers brought England to its knees. When Duke William of Normandy landed at Pevensey on September 28, 1066, no one was there to resist him. King Harold Godwineson was in the north, fighting his brother Tostig and a fierce Viking invasion. How could this have happened? Why would Tostig turn traitor to wreak revenge on his brother?<br />The Sons of Godwine were not always enemies. It took a massive Northumbrian uprising to tear them apart, making Tostig an exile and Harold his sworn enemy. And when 1066 came to an end, all the Godwinesons were dead except one: Wulfnoth, hostage in Normandy. For two generations, Godwine and his sons were a mighty force, but their power faded away as the Anglo-Saxon era came to a close.</p>

&quot;As a practicing Buddhist, I believe that having compassion for one another on a daily basis is essential for living a dignified life. Daily life includes the workplace. It is up to the leader to set the tone. A workplace where people are inspired, mentored and treated with kindness will always succeed. Patricia Forrester's book, Nice Girls on Top, demonstrates that beautifully. Yes, it's target audience is women, but men, too, can be inspired and learn the important lessons offered in this important and ground-breaking book.&quot; --  <strong>Herbie Hancock</strong>, Award-winning Musician and Composer<br /><br /><span>&quot;In her new book, Nice Girls on Top, TV writer Patricia Forrester conquers an issue female executives struggle with every day - how to be a nice boss without being a pushover.  It's a fine line, and Forrester teaches us to balance gracefully and effectively.&quot;  -- <strong>Alexandra Levit</strong>, Author of New Job, New You: A Guide to Reinventing Yourself in a Bright New Career</span><br /><br />&quot;The first step to getting what you want out of work is being who you want at work.
