We call it the Incident, a blurred nightmare from ten years ago, when Grandfather's double-dealing finally caught up with him, leaving his family and his reputation barely intact. I thought it was just that, a regrettable incident, in the past, but I was wrong. The past is a living thing, and sometimes it comes back to haunt you...

Piers Anthony's 37th adventure in Xanth changes the Mood to one of Doom! Kody woke up in a hospital bed, not knowing how he got there. Before his questions could be answered, he was told that he was about to undergo surgery, and that there could be some side effects.... And then he woke up again, this time in Xanth. Kody is the only person in Xanth who has not been affected by a dreadful spell that reverses how people see each other. What was adorable is now loathsome. What was ugly is now beautiful. What was loved is now hated. Kody has clearly arrived just in time! Only he has any hope of reversing the spell, turning Esrever Doom into Reverse Mood.

My name's Alex and I'm not from around here. When I first woke up in Esrever County, I discovered a world completely opposite of home. Rules were optional. Books were off limits. Chocolate, video games and slacking off were encouraged. You get the idea… it was awesome! But there was one catch: the creatures and legendary figures I always read about were not only real and present in Esrever, but were opposite of the way I knew them. When the Sandman creeps into my life, he's determined to turn my dream vacation into a horrifying nightmare! *** Trapped in Esrever combines the frightening chills of Goosebumps with the humorous story-telling of a Diary of a Wimpy Kid. It would be a perfect addition to your collection.

What does the founding of the Sugarhill Gang teach us about business development? What can we learn about management and leadership from Jay-Z’s decades-long dominance? What does Ice Cube’s refusal to accept $75,000 to remain a member of NWA tell us about risk management? What can we learn about market dominance from the Death Row and Bad Boy Records beef? What does the rise and fall of MC Hammer (and the near fall of Rihanna) reveal about the psychology of money management? Does Lil Nas X have anything to teach us about corporate diversity? In The Hip Hop MBA, banker–turned–writer Nels Abbey offers an alternative and entertaining look at business and economics through the rise and triumph of Hip Hop. This is the story of how rap industrialists – like Jay-Z, Suge Knight, Sylvia Robinson, Puff Daddy, 50 Cent and Bryan ‘Birdman’ Williams – took chronic economic pain and turned it into champagne. With a business acumen often acquired in the streets, these moguls created and sustained a multi-billion-dollar industry – leaving Greek mythology-worthy stories of success and failure, betrayal and revenge in their wakes. The world of business hasn’t taken Hip Hop moguls or their methods anywhere near seriously enough – until now. The Hip Hop MBA is taking you back to school.
