Whether it's a faulty memory, a tendency to multitask, or difficulty managing our time, every one of us has limitations conspiring to keep us from being organized. But, as organizational guru and former Google CIO Douglas C. Merrill points out, it isn't our fault. Our brains simply aren't designed to deal with the pressures and competing demands on our attention in today's fast-paced, information-saturated, digital world. What's more, he says, many of the ways in which our society is structured are outdated, imposing additional chaos that makes us feel stressed, scattered, and disorganized. But it doesn't have to be this way. Luckily, we have a myriad of amazing new digital tools and technologies at our fingertips to help us manage the strains on our brains and on our lives; the trick is knowing when and how to use them. This is why Merrill, who helped spearhead Google's effort to "organize the world's information," offers a wealth of tips and strategies for how to use these new tools to become more organized, efficient, and successful than ever. But if you're looking for traditional, rigid, one-size-fits-all strategies for organization, this isn't the book for you. Instead, Merrill draws on his intimate knowledge of how the brain works to help us develop fresh, innovative, and flexible systems of organization tailored to our individual goals, constraints, and lifestyles. From how to harness the amazing power of search, to how to get the most out of cloud computing, to techniques for filtering through the enormous avalanche of information that assaults us at every turn, to tips for minimizing distractions and better integrating work and life, Getting Organized in the Google Era is chock-full of practical, invaluable, and often counterintuitive advice for anyone who wants to be more organized and productive–and less stressed--in our 21st-century world. From the Hardcover edition.

The undercover operator is immersed in a gray world, a world where the lines between black and white, wrong and right, are no longer clearly defined. To be truly undercover, an operator must adapt to his dark environment, often crossing the line between what is legal and what is not in order to maintain the illusion he is one of the bad guys he is trying to take down. He is always in danger of plunging too deep into the darker shades of gray; some operators never make it back. For those who do their job well, there is always a shroud of doubt concerning the operator's true loyalties. The silent, lingering question never goes away: "Is he really that good of an undercover operator, or he has turned into a gangster and we just haven't caught him yet?" An experienced road patrol officer, author James A. Martin (code name Ferret) was transferred to the Tri County Metro Narcotics team, based in Lansing, Michigan, in 1983. As the newest addition to the team, Ferret quickly learned the ways of an undercover operator, and he was good at it . . . maybe too good. Life among drug cartels, street gangs and two-bit dealers was fraught with danger. Ferret faced these along with the risk of being exposed as a cop at any moment. Being undercover was dangerous, but for Ferret, it was also a huge, addictive rush. Follow Ferret as he recounts his undercover operations in vivid detail. Each time you think he couldn't go further, he shocks the reader by going to new heights. For many cops, each undercover mission was thought to be extraordinary, but for Ferret those missions were the training ground that would take him to even higher achievements. But, there was a cost . . .
