Machiavelli for Women: Defend Your Worth, Grow Your Ambition, and Win the Workplace
From the NPR host of The Indicator and correspondent for Planet Money comes an "accessible, funny, clear-eyed, and practical" (Sarah Knight, New York Times bestselling author) guide for how women can apply the principles of 16th-century philosopher Niccolò Machiavelli to their work lives and finally shatter the glass ceiling—perfect for fans of Feminist Fight Club, Lean In, and Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office. Women have been making strides towards equality for decades, or so we're often told. They've been increasingly entering male-dominated areas of the workforce and consistently surpassing their male peers in grades, university attendance, and degrees. They've recently stormed the political arena with a vengeance. But despite all of this, the payoff is—quite literally—not there: the gender pay gap has held steady at about 20% since 2000. And the number of female CEOs for Fortune 500 companies has actually been declining. So why, in the age of #MeToo and #TimesUp, is the glass ceiling still holding strong? And how can we shatter it for once and for all? Stacy Vanek Smith's advice: ask Machiavelli "with this delicious look at what we have to gain by examining our relationship to power" (Sally Helgesen, New York Times bestselling author). Using The Prince as a guide and with charm and wit, Smith applies Renaissance politics to the 21st century, and demonstrates how women can take and maintain power in careers where they have long been cast as second-best. "Machiavelli For Women is the ultimate battle guide for our times. Brimming with hard-boiled strategies, laced with wit, it's a must-read for every woman ready to wield power unapologetically" (Claire Shipman, coauthor of The Confidence Code).- Shop: buecher

Of Soul & Senses
Tucson Chamber Artists is a versatile ensemble of vocal and instrumental musicians dedicated to enriching lives through the transformational power of classical music. TCA's singers represent the first rank of choral artists in Arizona and from around the country, and it's instrumentalists have trained in some of the finest music schools in the world. TCA accomplishes it's mission primarily through the performance of masterworks and the diverse music of America. Recent performances of masterworks include Brahms A German Requiem, Bach's Mass in B Minor, Haydn's The Creation, Mozart's Mass in C-minor and Oboe Concerto, and Schubert's 'Unfinished' Symphony. Committed to regularly premiering new works by America's leading and emerging composers, TCA has commissioned Paul Crabtree and Stephen Paulus, and has premiered new works every year for the last five years by young promising composers. Approaching it's ninth season, TCA has quickly become a rising star in the American cultural scene. In 2009, the National Endowment for the Arts awarded funding for TCA's American Masterpieces project, featuring works by some of the great American composers of the 20th century. In 2010, TCA's choir was one of three professional choirs, including Chanticleer and the Incheon City Chorale from South Korea, invited to perform at the Western Conference of the American Choral Director's Association. That same year, the journal of Chorus America, The Voice, published a feature article on TCA for it's successes in light of the current economic downturn. In Tucson, the Arizona Daily Star proclaimed as early as 2006 that TCA is 'now in the big leagues...and has grown from fledgling newcomer to assuming a seat at the table with Tucson's larger professional arts groups including Arizona Opera, Tucson Symphony Orchestra and Arizona Theatre Company.' More recently, TCA was lauded as 'arguably the greater Tucson area's finest musicians,' in an October 2010 concert review in which the Star characterized TCA's biggest opening concerts to date as 'a bold pronouncement.' In 2011, TCA joined forces with Tucson Symphony Orchestra and UApresents for a special concert: Remembrance and Renewal: A Concert to Commemorate the Tenth Anniversary of September 11, 2001. The program -- TCA's biggest project in it's history -- featured Mozart's Requiem and the premiere of a new oratorio by acclaimed composer Stephen Paulus, commissioned by TCA and sponsored by Mrs. Dorothy Vanek. TCA's meteoric rise in the current economic climate is due in part to it's immensely popular and unique programming that fuses professional voices and instruments. It is also because of the generous support of TCA's patrons and donors, for which TCA is thankful.- Shop: odax
