<p>"A Weird Unfathomable Ordinary Everyday Life" is the lively and colorful record of a three-year correspondence between Bill Bridges, a professional writer and poet, and Dianne Jenkins, a mail- and rubber-stamp artist. Bill and Dianne live in Indiana and Massachusetts, respectively. They are correspondents in an almost 19th century sense-although they know about (and even use) computers and the telephone, this book was produced without a single e-mail or phone call. The result is illustrated with more than 100 pieces of Dianne's art (and a few of Bill's, who had to try his hand occasionally). The letters touch on art, travel, museums, writing, "collecting," Zen meditation, and cooking, among other subjects. As Bill has noted, "We did this for our own delight-but if anyone else wants to come in, they're welcome."</p>

In "Breath & Other Ventures," Bill Bridges has created a companion piece to his earlier "Places & Stories." But this time there's a more personal note, as he recounts how he dealt with an inherited respiratory ailment while at the same time exploring Zen breathing meditation. The "other ventures" of the title include a memoir constructed from notebooks of the 1970s, the story of a summer as a Washington newsman, an essay on "forgotten writers," and another GeeGee Dapple detective story, about a retired British editor who solves crimes through astute journalistic observation.

Jobshift: How to Prosper in a Workplace Without Jobs

What is disappearing today is not just a certain number of jobs, or jobs in certain industries, or jobs in some parts of the UK - or even jobs in the West as a whole. What is disappearing is the very thing itself: the job. In fact, many organizations are today well along the path towards being "de-jobbed". People will have to learn new ways to work and the second part of this book is a career guide to the 21st century. Today's workers need to look instead for work that needs doing - and then set themselves up as the best way to get that work done. The book shows readers how to start thinking of themselves as businesses - taking stock of their skills and interests, marketing themselves to their bosses, upgrading the services they sell. It discusses in detail how corporations, society and people's outlook will change in this jobless future. William Bridges is the author of "Transitions" and "Managing Transitions".
