AUTHOR : John Grisham
PUBLISHER : Doubleday
#1 New York Times bestselling author John Grisham’s newest legal thriller takes you inside a law firm that’s on shaky ground.
Mark, Todd, and Zola came to law school to change the world, to make it a better place. But now, as third-year students, these close friends realize they have been duped. They all borrowed heavily to attend a third-tier, for-profit law school so mediocre that its graduates rarely pass the bar exam. And when they learn that their school is one of a chain owned by a New York hedge-fund operator who also happens to own a bank specializing in student loans, the three know they have been caught up in The Great Law School Scam.
But maybe there’s a way out. Maybe there’s a way to escape their crushing debt, expose the bank and the scam, and make a few bucks in the process. But leaving law school a few short months before graduation would be completely crazy, right?
AUTHOR : Eric Ries
PUBLISHER : Currency
Entrepreneur and bestselling author of “The Lean Startup,” Eric Ries reveals how entrepreneurial principles can be used by businesses of all kinds, ranging from established companies to early-stage start-ups, to grow revenues, drive innovation, and transform themselves into truly modern organizations.
In “The Lean Startup,” Eric Ries laid out the practices of successful start-ups - building a minimal viable product, customer-focused and scientific testing based on a build-measure-learn method of continuous innovation, and deciding whether to persevere or pivot.
In “The Startup Way,” he turns his attention to an entirely new group of organizations: established enterprises like iconic multinationals GE and Toyota, tech titans like Amazon and Facebook, and the next generation of Silicon Valley upstarts like Airbnb and Twilio.
Drawing on his experiences over the past five years working with these organizations, as well as nonprofits, NGOs, and governments, Ries lays out a system of entrepreneurial management that leads organizations of all sizes and from every industry to sustainable growth and long-term impact.

An eccentric billionaire and his assistant venture into America looking for acquisitions and discover a down-and-out motel, romance, and a bit of real life.
These tales are surprising, intelligent, heartwarming, and, for Tom Hanks fans, a must-have!
