Wondermark without comic form. Still fuckin' hilarious
This book is a 1980s New Age successor to the Surrealist Une Semaine De Bonte of Max Ernst. It impressed me as a teenager, and I should "re-read" it.
This is just a collection of pictures, like a clipart catalog or something. There is little explanation about where or when the pictures came from. However, it's an excellent collection if you are looking for pictorial representations of women from this era.

Each of the 50+ chapters are really short to present 1 idea (or a facet of an idea). It's highly repetitive, with the same points being repackaged in different forms over and over again. Each chapter is sliced so finely that some can barely stand on their own if you don't read other chapters. In many places, it reads like a collection of loose points or an outright promotion of Gallups’ tools and assessments.
Still, if you're looking for facts or data to incorporate into your strategy or presentations, or just want to get a quick idea about how the workplace is evolving, this book has some good resources
What it covers:
• How work expectations have changed for Millennials and Generation Z, and what it means for your organization’s strategy and culture;
• How to attract, develop and retain top talents by building an employment brand and managing the employee life cycle. This includes: attracting top talents, hiring the best fit, setting the right tone with onboarding, managing performance, improving employee engagement, coaching people to grow, planning effective successions and exits; and
• What's the future of work, including trends/priorities in: diversity and inclusion, creativity and innovation, technology and digitization, telecommuting, remote work and gig jobs.
