"When is that department going to do its job right?", "When will someone share the vision?" "Why is this happening to me?", "When will we get more tools and better systems?" If so, QBQ! is the book for you and your organziation.

No organization -or individual -can achieve its goals, compete in the marketplace, fulfill its vision, or develop people and teams without personal accountability. The solution is an entirely new approach - characterized by new thinking and behaviors - where we no longer give lip service to teamwork, but ask, "What can I do to contribute?" and "How can I make a difference?"

This is such a fun story by a talented young man who happens to be an excellent role model for my sons.- Gina M, Sp Ed teacher and mother of two, Windham NH“John Miller’s Adventures in Handom is a joy to read. The story of the people of Handom captures the innocence of childhood, with delightful illustrations in brilliant colors. The book delivers the all-important message to kids everywhere that conquering obstacles in life depends not so much on the darkness on the outside as the love that is on the inside. All children, including those with disabilities, will find inspiration between the covers of this wonderful tale of brotherhood, devotion and perseverance.”-Peter C Raffalli, MD, FAAP, Child Neurologist, Boston Children’s Hospital/ Asst Professor of Neurology, Harvard Medical School.Like all distinctively American writers, John R Miller’s subject is grounded in his own experience.

It is a perceptive, tender, and triumphant book.-Jay Atkinson, Author, BU lecturer, Methuen MA

Welcome to London in the late 17th century. After years of Civil War and repressive Puritan rule, King Charles II is back in town and his restoration has brought new life to this great city. The theatres are open again, markets and shops are thriving and the streets are crowded. People are talking about new ideas in science and architecture and experimenting with new fashions. This book takes you on a journey across London at this time, telling you about its 'five-star' sights and their history. It also explains the key events of the time: the reasons for the Restoration, the arrival of the Plague and, of course, the Great Fire of 1666 and the new London that arose out of its ashes. Published to coincide with the 350th anniversary of the Great Fire, this book gives older children a much broader context for this famous event. With a mixture of maps, archive images and present day photography, it acts as a wonderful guide both to London in the 1660s and how its legacy can still be found in the capital today. London on Fire is an ideal resource for readers aged 10+ and supports the history curriculum at Key Stage 3.
