The Great Heist exposes China's unprecedented state-orchestrated espionage campaign to strip the United States and its allies of their economic, technological, and military edge. Through a coordinated "whole-of-society" strategy, the Chinese Communist Party has dramatically expanded its covert operations to acquire America's most valuable innovations--stealing defense secrets and proprietary technology from companies like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Google, T-Mobile, and Tesla. By exploiting both human and cyber vulnerabilities, China has quietly looted the crown jewels of Western technology, saving itself trillions in R&D costs since the 1990s--with an ongoing brazenness fueled by decades of Western inaction. Drawing on exclusive investigations and interviews with intelligence officers, corporate security teams, senior policymakers, and espionage victims, David R. Shedd and Andrew Badger reveal how industrial theft has fueled China's meteoric rise from Third World backwater to global superpower--and present a bold strategic playbook to turn the tide in the greatest economic contest of our time."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5506723</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5506723</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Shedd, David R.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5506723147</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>China&apos;s Epic Campaign to Steal America&apos;s Secrets</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063451834/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Algorithm]]></title><description><![CDATA["From a former President of Tesla comes The Algorithm-the first book written by any of Elon Musk's direct reports-a transformative guide for leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators who want to emulate the paradigm-shattering approach Musk used to launch Tesla and SpaceX to meteoric success. Jonathan McNeill had already founded and sold six startups when Sheryl Sandberg introduced him to Elon Musk, who was looking for help at Tesla. McNeill was steeped in the lean principles that had made Toyota a global powerhouse-principles focused on achieving efficiency and optimization by incrementally improving existing systems and processes. What he learned from Elon at Tesla was its antithesis, an approach that required radical rethinking to explode the status quo, attack complexity, and set seemingly unrealistic goals. Elon called this five-step framework "The Algorithm." Question every requirement. Delete every possible step in the process. Simplify and optimize. Accelerate cycle time. Automate. In this book, McNeill details this tremendously powerful set of tools, which brought Tesla from a production crisis that threatened to derail it to a period of hypergrowth. During his tenure, revenue boomed from $2B to $20B in just 30 months. Since his departure from Tesla, McNeill has used The Algorithm in every enterprise he has worked with to supercharge speed, efficiency, innovation, and growth. Featuring case studies from Tesla and SpaceX, as well as from Lululemon, GM, and companies of various sizes across industries, he reveals how any business can do the same and achieve the unimaginable"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5522437</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5522437</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[McNeill, Jonathan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5522437147</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Hypergrowth Formula That Transformed Tesla, Lululemon, General Motors, and SpaceX</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798217177530/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jolted]]></title><description><![CDATA["The new science of why we quit, whether we should, and how to make the right choices for our work and lives, by a leading organizational psychologist Most of us are just one event away from leaving our job. Conventional wisdom would have us believe that the decision to leave secure work is the result of an uneven trade-off between our paychecks and benefits, and the time and effort we put into our jobs. But in reality, quitting is most often triggered by a single event, inside or outside the workplace, that causes us to stop and reflect on our relationship with work. These events are what organizational psychologist Anthony Klotz calls "jolts," and they are the most underacknowledged realities in our work lives.

Alia Hanna Habib remembers what it was like to be on the outside of the publishing world, looking in. Arriving in New York, a first-generation college student with a love of reading and loads of ambition, she hadn't any idea how to break into the business of books. Now years later, in her career as an agent, she hears from prospective clients who, whether they're experts at the top of their fields or wholly new to the writing game, consider breaking through as a success in publishing to be a mysterious and daunting task. Ever determined to flout the stereotype of agent as gatekeeper, however, Habib is prepared to hand emerging writers the key. In a voice that's both encouraging and irreverent, Habib demystifies the often peculiar, frequently intimidating, business of books. Just as she does for her stable of bestselling authors, in these pages she gives practical advice, providing context and clarity to each step of the publishing process, from the germination of a book idea to finding an agent to represent it, from crafting an engaging proposal to navigating the perils of publicity. Readers will find real-life samples of pitch letters and book proposals from some of Habib's most successful clients, such as Clint Smith and Judy Batalion, as well as templates writers can use when querying agents or promoting their work on social media. She also incorporates the advice of trusted industry colleagues-authors, attorneys, accountants, editors, publishers, publicists, and more-gifting readers with a full team of experts to answer all the questions they've had about the publishing world, but were too afraid, or didn't know, to ask. Essential for both the aspiring novice and the seasoned professional, Take It from Me is a guidebook writers will return to again and again. At times laugh-out-loud funny, at others brutally honest about her own experiences in publishing, and in life, Habib offers a clear-eyed look at the challenges facing today's aspiring nonfiction writers and then gives them the comprehensive, expert advice they need to put those roadblocks in the rearview mirror"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5501393</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5501393</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Habib, Alia Hanna]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://whitecloud.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5501393147</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>An Agent&apos;s Guide to Building A Nonfiction Writing Career From Scratch</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593700877/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[How to Communicate With Confidence]]></title><description><![CDATA[For most people, great conversation doesn't come naturally.

After all, AI is merely software. It's great at some things and (at least right now) terrible at others. But for workers who take time to experiment with AI and develop expertise, AI will make them more productive and more creative, saving them time, giving them job security, and boosting their income.  In How to AI, Wall Street Journal columnist Christopher Mims introduces readers to people just like them who are at the forefront of using AI in the world of work. Imagine a freelance lawyer who suddenly has a whip-smart assistant to help her nail every deposition. Or a mom-and-pop contractor whose new software tool is automating construction bids that used to eat up hundreds of hours.  But even as half a billion people around the world have leapt at the chance to use ChatGPT and other tools, millions of us have stayed on the sidelines. Are you one of them?
