"This is not just a story of the violence of fascism, but of the burning joy of freedom, and the exhilaration of shaping, with sweat and blood, a better world."**

From critically acclaimed author Kip Wilson comes this gripping coming of age historical fiction novel in verse about Gerda Taro, a vibrant, headstrong photojournalist with a passion for capturing the truth amid political turmoil and the first woman photojournalist killed in combat.

The daughter of Polish Jewish immigrants, Gerta Pohorylle doesn't quite fit in. While she's away at boarding school, however, she becomes a master at reinventing herself. When she returns from school, she gets more involved with left-wing groups as Germany splits into political extremes and after she's arrested for distributing anti-Nazi propaganda, Gerta and her family decide she must leave Germany.

In Paris, Gerda meets André Friedman, a Hungarian photographer eager for fame and fortune, who fosters Gerda's interest in photography and how it can be as much of a tool for broadcasting her beliefs as protesting and demonstrations. Together the pair invents Robert Capa, a rich American photographer, and soon they're selling "Capa's" work for high prices and to great acclaim. Soon after, Gerda begins selling her own work under the last name Taro and the pair take on more assignments, jetting off to Spain to cover the growing conflict that quickly becomes the Spanish Civil War.

As Gerda pushes closer and closer to the front line, eager to capture the lives and vibrant hopes of those fighting against fascism, she begins to lose track of, and regard for, her own safety.

An essential roadmap to help you feel more confident, clear, and intentional in your goals--at every stage of your career and life

Early in her career, Shanna Hocking tried to do everything "right" She spoke up in meetings, supported colleagues' strategies, and raised her hand for new projects. Though her enthusiasm helped her get ahead in some ways, pushback from others nearly derailed her: Who did she think she was? She shouldn't be so "out there." She should "take it down a bit."

What happened next is a situation all too many professional women will recognize: Shanna began to internalize the comments, second-guessing herself and holding herself back to make others comfortable. It took a long time--years, in fact--before she was able to see what she was doing and regain the power of being her best self.

In One Bold Move a Day, Shanna reveals the transformative mindsets that helped her regain that power, and offers a practical, hands-on roadmap to achieving your own goals with intention and joy. More than just a career guide, One Bold Move a Day shows you how a single, measurable act each day will help you fulfill your potential, both personally and professionally.

• Bold Mindset Shifts
• Achieving Your Goals
• The Power of Uplifting Others
• Lead from Where You Are
• Be the Boss Everyone Wants to Work For
• Your Bold Move Community
• Putting Your Bold Move Mindset to the Test

No matter how small or inconsequential they may seem to others, the Bold Moves you choose bring you closer to your goals every day--and have the power to change the trajectory of your personal life and career. In the pages of this book, you'll find the support you need, and see that the best time to start making Bold Moves is right here, right now.

The author of the New York Times Bestseller THE $100 STARTUP shows how to launch a profitable side hustle in just 27 days.

For some people, the thought of quitting their day job to pursue the entrepreneurial life is exhilarating.  For many others, it’s terrifying. After all, a stable job that delivers a regular paycheck is a blessing. And not everyone has the means or the desire to take on the risks and responsibilities of working for themselves.

But what if we could quickly and easily create an additional stream of income without giving up the security of a full-time job? Enter the side hustle.

Chris Gullibeau is no stranger to this world, having launched more than a dozen side hustles over his career. Here, he offers a step-by-step guide that takes you from idea to income in just 27 days.

Designed for the busy and impatient, this detailed roadmap will show you how to select, launch, refine, and make money from your side hustle in under a month. You’ll learn how to:

•  Brainstorm, borrow, and steal to build an arsenal of great side hustle ideas (day 3)
•  Apply “Tinder for Side Hustle” logic to pick the best idea at any time (day 6)
•  Learn, gather, or create everything you need to launch; then set up a real life way to get paid (days 13-14)
•  Start raking in the money by channeling your inner Girl Scout (day 18)
•  Master the art of deals, discounts, and special offers (day 21)
•  Raise your game: improve, expand, or make more money off your hustle (days 24-26)

A side hustle is more than just another stream of income, it’s also the new job security. When you receive paychecks from different sources, it allows you to take more chances in your “regular” career. More income means more options. More options equals freedom. You don’t need entrepreneurial experience to launch a profitable side hustle. You don’t have to have an MBA, or know how to code, or be an expert marketer. You don’t need employees or investors. With Chris as a guide, anyone can make more money, pursue a passion, and enjoy greater security – without quitting their day job.

A personal and professional guide to the latest research on imposterism and psychological flexibility, IMPOSTER NO MORE is the professional's handbook to combating "impostor syndrome" and overcoming self-doubt to achieve career success.



Dr. Jill Stoddard is a recovered imposter. For years, she was convinced that the only reason she was accepted into a competitive grad school program was because her father knew the program director. Dr. Stoddard isn't alone in this: deep down, the majority of successful people question their professional legitimacy a good amount of the time.



Why do we do this, and how can we stop? Although she's in recovery, Dr. Stoddard still struggles with feelings of imposterism. She works through them with psychological flexibility, the ability to be present with all thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and urges, fully and without defense, while making conscious, deliberate choices based on what deeply matters to a person. Essentially, we're not attempting to change the substance of the thoughts and feelings that naturally occur to us; instead, we change the way we relate to those thoughts and feelings, so we aren't caught up in constant battle to control them.



Throughout Imposter No More, Dr. Stoddard lays the groundwork for understanding the imposter phenomenon; she outlines the traps professionals often fall into regarding their imposter feelings, and provides actionable steps for cultivating psychological flexibility to be able to choose bold career moves despite self-doubt and imposterism.
