Amidst familial complexities and racial tensions, Dana Frank has emerged as one of Seattle's most triumphant minority real estate investors. In Get Up and Get On It, Frank captivates readers by taking them through a life full of unique experiences and challenges. Born to parents determined to change the narrative their birth circumstances dictated, one side of Frank's life was full of music and celebrity. Her father was an accomplished drummer who played with some of the most celebrated jazz entertainers, and her uncle is legendary music producer Quincy Jones. The other side of Frank's life was full of conflicting moments of hardship and darkness, having to live under her father's iron fist and observe him engage in unconventional (and ethically questionable) real estate endeavors while also tagging along with him in moments of activism, picketing anti-Black banks and exposing redlining. Dana ultimately made a courageous decision to partner with her mother and break free from her father during an era when Black women faced impossible odds in pursuit of financial independence. Today, there is nothing Dana does not know about being a "Landlady." Get Up and Get On It recounts the invaluable business lessons she has inherited and redefined, transforming them into a source of pride, helping thousands of families secure housing to create their own wealth while building a rich legacy of third-generation wealth for her children.
The Neurodiversity Edge introduces a transformative framework for addressing the most important human resources opportunity of the 21st century. From renowned Oxford-trained cognitive scientist, neurodiversity expert, and neurodivergent business leader, Dr. Maureen Dunne, this trailblazing guide presents a groundbreaking new approach for bridging the staggering divide between organizations starved for motivated workers and the enormous untapped talent pool defined by cognitive differences--the 15-20% of the global population comprised of the autistic, ADHDers, the dyslexic, synesthetes, the dyspraxic, and others with neurological differences. Attempts to implement neuroinclusion at scale have overwhelmingly failed at the hands of overgeneralized "check the box" strategies that dive no deeper than superficial accommodation. Dr. Dunne exposes this fundamental misunderstanding of the problem and why outcomes range from uninspiring to disastrous for organizations while still failing to serve the legions of underemployed neurodivergent jobseekers with dignity, economic opportunity, and authentic inclusion. The Neurodiversity Edge challenges this flawed paradigm and unveils a revolutionary new framework. The result is a bold vision that reframes the problem and charts a new values-driven approach leveraging universal design principles centered on cognitive diversity as an essential driver of innovation, groupthink immunity, team performance, motivation, and loyalty. Weaving practical strategies with vivid real-world examples, Dr. Dunne leverages more than two decades of immersive cognitive science research, case studies, stories from neurodivergent voices, in-the-trenches work with hundreds of organizations from start-ups to global Fortune 500 titans, and her own lived experience as a neurodivergent employer, entrepreneur, board member, and CEO. Drawing on psychology, economics, business management, philosophy, and organizational behavior, The Neurodiversity Edge offers a practical roadmap to building an organizational culture fundamentally aligned with authentic neuroinclusion rooted in a clear and compelling case that cognitive diversity--and lateral nonlinear traits--will become an unambiguous source of competitive edge as organizations navigate the coming age of technological transformation ahead. This book will earn its place on the bookshelves of executives, organizational leaders, board directors, human resource professionals, recruiters, managers, educators, allies, and anyone with an interest in better understanding neurodiversity, authentic neuroinclusion, the human mind, and the role neuroinclusion stands to play in the age of artificial intelligence.

Written and edited by a team of experts, this exciting new volume discusses the various types of energy storage technologies, the applications of energy storage systems, their role in the real-time operation of power markets, and the operational issues of modern power systems, including renewable-based generating sources. The worldwide energy sector, specifically power generation, has undergone a huge transformation in recent years, and the focus is to make it sustainable, environmentally friendly, reliable, and highly efficient. As a result, a significant share of highly intermittent but clean renewable sources is being integrated into the power system using advanced technological components. The higher penetration level of renewable energy sources (RESs) has increased the active power generation share in the grid but reduced the total rotating system inertia. This high reduction in inertia brings new challenges and technical issues to the operators of modern power systems and impacts the stability and security of the grid. The stochasticity of these renewable sources also poses a big challenge to the efficient operation of the power system. Electrical energy storage systems help to manage such issues and challenges that occur due to the intermittent nature of RES and can play a big role in the smooth and reliable operation of the power system. The applications and opportunities to use storage on the grid are growing due to the improvements in energy storage technologies, and flexible regulatory frameworks. Technological developments have made it possible to use batteries and other Energy Storage Systems (ESSs) for managing the operation of the power system. This book aims to illustrate the potential of energy storage systems in different applications of the modern power system considering recent advances and research trends in storage technologies. These areas are going to play a very significant role in future smart grid operations. This book discusses the various types of energy storage technologies and promotes the applications of ESSs in the performance improvement of modern power systems. Whether for the veteran engineer, new hire, or student, it is a must-have for any library.
