Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 After graduating from college or military training, you have no idea what you want to do with your life. You're excited to start your career, but you have no idea where to start. We're going to help you figure out the first step in your career journey. #2 The modern approach to career planning is to consider your career in six to eight modules of five years each. These modules could potentially be at five or six different companies. For example, you may choose to do two five-year modules with Company A in one type of role, leave to complete your third module at Company B, and then return to Company A in a more senior role. #3 There is no need to rush into choosing a career. It is common to begin your career search after college, and even more common to want to make a change in your career several years down the road. #4 The first step in figuring out what you want to do with your life is to identify the content of your career. This involves thinking about what you like to do in life, and writing down those things on a sheet of paper. Then, figure out what skills you need to have to be eligible for those positions.

At the time of her death in 1815, twenty-nine-year-old Ellen Hutchins had catalogued over a thousand species of seaweed and plants from her native Bantry Bay. Ireland's first female botanist, Ellen was a major contributor to nineteenth-century scientific discovery. And yet, like so many brilliant women lost in history, it is her personal story that will resonate today. In her remarkable debut novel, Marianne Lee fuses fact with fiction to imagine Ellen's rich but tormented inner life, repressed by the gender and class confines of her time. Unmarried, childless and sickly, Ellen is considered an `unsuccessful' woman, dutifully bound to her family's once grand and isolated estate, Ballylickey House. Still, she glimpses a happiness and autonomy she can never quite articulate as she reaches for meaning and expression, until the eruption of a long-simmering family feud and the rise of Ellen's own darkness - her `quiet tide' - will conspire to destroy her fragile future. A Quiet Tide is a life examined, a heartbreaking, inspiring story that at last captures the essence and humanity of a long-forgotten Irishwoman. Perfect for fans of "Hamnet" by Maggie O'Farrell, "Matrix" by Lauren Groff and "Nora" by Nuala O'Connor. 'Though set in the past, the themes of her debut have a modern feel, none more so than in Ellen's attempts to establish herself in a male-dominated field. Her struggle for autonomy and equality is clear...early in life, Ellen's headmistress gives her some advice on her restless spirit. "You must strive to curb it. Accept what is around you. Do not fight." Lee's novel beautifully captures the quiet resistance by one noteworthy Irish woman against this damning advice." The Irish Times `A beautiful, elegantly written novel about the tangled roots of family and the pursuit of singular passions. Marianne Lee is a new literary star.'
