McLean Sibanda believes that Africa must be deliberate about its economic development and that change requires champions, and importantly, fertile enabling environments.
In Nuts & Bolts you will gain unique perspectives on challenges
faced by leaders overseeing a turnaround in any organisation; and
the thought processes behind innovation initiatives that yielded value.
McLean provides practical insights on innovation and entrepreneurship
for Africa’s development through a narrative of his seven years
of repositioning Sub-Saharan Africa’s first internationally recognised
Science and Technology Park, The Innovation Hub. Included, too,
are reflections from entrepreneurs who have all gone on to build
successful businesses which will be useful for anyone working on a
start-up or innovation, particularly institutions set up to create new
products or services. The musings of various successful entrepreneurs
and ecosystem builders provide relevant context, inspiration
and examples as to how best make use of support programmes
provided by incubators and organisations similar to The Innovation
Hub.
Nuts & Bolts is a book about hope; it is full of stories about real
people and companies who are making a difference, with testimonies
of entrepreneurs, experienced ecosystem builders and innovators.
It captures deep insights from the considerable time McLean has
spent with entrepreneurs and innovators, on the importance of
inclusive innovation and entrepreneurship, and provides a mix of
global experiences and entrepreneurship narratives that eloquently
sketch out the ‘nuts and bolts’ for entrepreneurship and innovation.

The ultimate guide to Scotch whisky. Why does Scotch whisky taste
as it does? Where do the flavours come from? How might they have
changed over the years? The flavour of Scotch whisky is as much
influenced by history, craft and tradition as it is by science.
Whiskypedia explores these influences. Introductory sections
provide an historical overview, and an explanation of the
contribution made by each stage of the production process. Each
entry provides a brief account of the distillery's history and
curiosities, lists the bottlings which are currently available,
details how the whisky is made, and explores the flavour and
character of each make. Fully revised and updated edition with new
entries on the latest distilleries at Ardross, Bonnington,
Burnobennie, The Cair, Falkirk, Holyrood Park and Lagg.
This accessible Handbook provides an essential entry point for
those with an interest in the increasingly complex subject of
financial decision-making. It sheds light on new paradigms in
society and the ways that new tools from private actors have
affected financial decision-making. Covering a broad range of key
topics in the area, leading researchers summarise the state of the
art in their respective areas of expertise, delineating their
projections for the future. Chapters cover both more traditional
fields, such as regulation and the role of analysts, and emerging
fields, such as artificial intelligence, neurofinance and
robo-advising. Organised into three sections, the Handbook first
deals with the natural and environmental factors that impact
financial decision-making, before moving on to examine the
institutions, frameworks, and tools created for the purpose of
aiding the decision-making process. It concludes by looking at
financial advisors, household finance and enabling financial
decision-making. This Handbook will be of great value to scholars
and researchers invested in the fields of finance, economic
psychology, business management and development. Its comprehensive
introduction to current research in accounting and finance
alongside multiple topics on technology and decision-making will be
invaluable for practitioners, policy makers and regulators too.
Scotland has some of the best seafood in the world, so we why
don’t we eat more of it? Why don’t we highlight the bounty of
our seas and the people who fish, produce, sell, preserve and cook
it? Acclaimed cooker writer Ghillie Basan embarks on a journey
around Scotland’s coastline and over to the islands to capture
the essence of our nation’s seafood through the stories of
fisherman, farmers, artisan smokers and curers, boat builders and
net makers, creels and shacks, skin tanners and age-old traditions.
In addition, she offers 90 original recipes showcasing the
wonderful produce she encounters on her journeys to all parts of
the country. Features a foreword by Gary Maclean, winner

Bringing together current research from a diverse range of
jurisdictions on family law, the Research Handbook on Family
Justice Systems addresses the aims and boundaries of family justice
systems. Delineating the common purpose of family law to achieve
fairness for groups of people who live or have lived together, this
Handbook is concerned with the rules referred to as ‘family
law’, but also with the institutions comprising the operating
system. This Handbook presents the view that a Family Justice
System (FJS) is a living entity, working with and for a wide range
of beliefs and practices, comprising far more than a set of rules
and regulations, which can respond to a changing society, while
also contributing to that change. Looking specifically at the FJS
as an important and evolving element in the organisation of a
society, with which sociologists, as well as lawyers and family
sociologists are concerned, it explores how an FJS works in
practice, what it tries to do and why. With contributions from the
US, UK, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, France, Poland, Japan
and China, this Research Handbook is an internationally relevant
and comprehensive work. The Research Handbook on Family Justice
Systems examines FJS in practice, making it highly pertinent to
researchers, academics, practitioners, government lawyers,
policymakers and government administrators in the fields of
sociology and law with a special interest in family law and the
FJS.

stories of the Bible in accessible yet beautiful language, and with
useful explanations of faraway places and ancient times and their
customs. The illustrations bring the stories to life so they will
live on in those who read them.' -- Tom Ravetz, Lenker of The
Christian Community in Great Britain and Ireland
A brutalized woman is left for dead. But dead is the one thing she
isn't. With a stolen horse and rifle, she escapes into the
mountains, and a small posse of her tormentors has to gear up and
give chase--whether to beg forgiveness or shut her up for good,
nobody knows. With detours through time, space and myth--not to
mention into the minds of a pack of philosophical mules--Pity the
Beast is a mind-melting feminist Western that pins a tale of sexual
violence and vengeance to a canvas as wide and strange as America
itself. It's a novel that turns our assumptions about the West,
masculinity, good and evil, and the very nature of storytelling
onto their heads, with an eye to the cosmic as well as the comic.
It urges us to write our stories anew--if we want to avoid becoming
beasts ourselves.
In 1994, a wildfire on Colorado's Storm King Mountain was
wrongly identified at the outset as occurring in South Canyon.
This unintentional, seemingly minor human error was the first in
a string of mistakes that would be compounded into one of the
greatest tragedies in the annals of firefighting. Before it was
done, fourteen courageous firefighters--men and women, hotshots,
smoke jumpers, and helicopter crew--would lose their lives battling
the deadly so-called South Canyon blaze.
John N. Maclean's award-winning national bestseller Fire on the
Mountain is a stunning reconstruction of the killer conflagration
and its aftermath--a page-turning true adventure of nature at its
most unforgiving, and a powerful, indelible portrait of a unique
breed of heroes who regularly and without question place their
lives on the line.
Marketing your business has never been so challenging. So much
change, so many new opportunities, especially when it comes to
engaging with your customers. Digital has seen to that but the
capabilities it has opened up have barely been exploited. The fact
is that businesses need to become customer-centric but don't know
how. Intelligent Customer Engagement is the 'how'. It is the next
natural evolutionary step that businesses will take to commercially
market to their audiences. Built on a foundation of existing
marketing, communications and technological capabilities,
Intelligent Customer Engagement is a pioneering methodology that is
already being deployed by businesses that are seeking new ways to
transform the engagement they have with their audiences. The
authors have written this book as a working manual of how to
develop and deploy Intelligent Customer Engagement and readers will
benefit from it being continuously supported online through their
content hub at www.timihub.com.
Dark, profane, and hilarious, yet ultimately humane, these ten
stories are the latest and best of Robin McLean's reports from the
eternal battlefront that is the United States. Ranging across the
continent, from Alaska to Missouri, from the flatlands to the
mountains, each tale is a snapshot of the political, racial, and
sexual undercurrents roiling contemporary life, and each finds a
way into the nerves and blood that pulse beneath the question of
how to live a decent life. Here you'll find stolen children living
life to the fullest on the run and on the road, soldiers guarding
empty frontiers, and rugged individualists brought low by an
uncaring nature. You'll find prehistoric beasts rubbing talons with
hustlers as well as death machines lurking beneath the bucolic
countryside. Here you'll find hatred, friendship, and pitch-black
humour all seething in the same stew. Get 'em Young, Treat 'em
Tough, Tell 'em Nothing marries the sardonic moral and political
explorations of a Flannery O'Connor to the surreal, scuzzy wit of a
Denis Johnson. It is a brazen State of the Union for a nation on
the edge.
