The Day of the Triffids

by John Wyndham

In 1951 John Wyndham published his novel The Day of the Triffids to moderate acclaim. Fifty-two years later, this horrifying story is a science fiction classic, touted by The Times(London) as having “all the reality of a vividly realized nightmare.” Bill Masen, bandages over his wounded eyes, misses the most spectacular meteorite shower England has ever seen. Removing his bandages the next morning, he finds masses of sightless people wandering the city. He soon meets Josella, another lucky person who has retained her sight, and together they leave the city, aware that the safe, familiar world they knew a mere twenty-four hours before is gone forever. But to survive in this post-apocalyptic world, one must survive the Triffids, strange plants that years before began appearing all over the world. The Triffids can grow to over seven feet tall, pull their roots from the ground to walk, and kill a man with one quick lash of their poisonous stingers. With society in shambles, they are now poised to prey on humankind. Wyndham chillingly anticipates bio-warfare and mass destruction, fifty years before their realization, in this prescient account of Cold War paranoia.

The Lean Enterprise: Designing and Managing Strategic Processes for Customer-Winning Performance

by Dan Dimancescu Peter Hines Nick Rich

What is a "lean" enterprise? According to the authors of this breakthrough book, it's a company that has organized and focused itself around only a few key processes rather than spread itself over a complex hierarchy. In a "fat" company, the focus is on departments (such as sales, quality control, or research). In a lean organization, the focus is on a few big-picture processes, such as developing new business. This change in emphasis is the critical difference between innovative firms and the lethargic pack of also-rans. This eye-opening book: ** explores "process management" as a corporate strategy -- and how to implement it ** presents insightful case studies of several companies and their journeys toward process-driven competitive strategies ** explains the four primary processes vital to all companies
