Who HQ brings you the stories behind the most well-known characters
of our time. Discover the haunting story of the Headless Horseman,
his chilling adventures in Sleepy Hollow, New York, and his
historical backstory in this addition to the What Is the
Story Of? series. Washington Irving published The Legend of Sleepy
Hollow in 1820, introducing the eerie Headless Horseman character
to readers worldwide. Readers were both scared and intrigued by the
horrific character, who is the ghost of a soldier who had
been decapitated during the American Revolution. Now, the character
is an American classic, featured in movies, television shows,
cartoons, comic books, and even video games, thanks to his chilling
story of a lone horseman seeking revenge. Perfect for
Halloween, but an enduring year-round favorite, the Headless
Horseman rides forward in this exciting new nonfiction title.
Over sixty years after his death in 1931, Vincent d'Indy is still a
much misunderstood and maligned figure in French music. Previous
biographers have left a portrait of the academic figure par
excellence, who turned the seemingly inspired and selfless
inspiration of his master Cesar Franck into a cold and
authoritarian pedagogical system. This new study re-examines the
evidence, reveals a much more psychologically complex and turbulent
character, and finds that d'Indy was a tireless propagandist for a
spiritual revival of French musical civilization. Yet he was fully
aware of the social and intellectual problems of the secular Third
Republic which militated against his Dante-inspired Catholic
humanism, embodied in the work of the Schola Cantorum, the Paris
institution founded by d'Indy to reform the practice of sacred
music. Far from being a pure reactionary, his outlook was in
reality remarkably progressive, manifest in his revivals of early
music, notably Monteverdi's Orfeo, his encouragement of Debussy,
and his willingness to engage - often pugnaciously - with the
latest musical manifestations of Richard Strauss, Stravinsky,
Schoenberg, and Varese. His own compositions likewise contain
passages of astonishingly bold invention and modernistic effects,
all too easily overlooked.
This updated and exciting fourth edition of Managing People: A
Practical Guide for Front-Line Managers addresses the growing needs
of front-line managers who are not themselves specialists in
personnel management but whose roles require them to have these
skills. A growing trend over the last two decades has given these
managers an increasing amount of responsibility of direct line
management, which can be extremely challenging especially if the
correct training is not given. This book examines how the different
parts of managing people fit together, whilst acknowledging that
different contexts require different approaches and recognizing
ongoing organizational, environmental and legal changes that affect
the employment framework. It recognizes the rapidly changing
context in which modern front-line managers have to operate and
acknowledges the increasing expectations of good leadership as a
necessity. However, the book also emphasizes the need for
front-line managers to understand themselves, their own management
styles and attitudes, together with the importance of empathy in
appreciating the perspectives of the staff that work under them.
Managing People: A Practical Guide for Front-Line Managers is
designed for both new managers and for NVQ/SVQ Level 4 students. It
is also appropriate for the first stages of Foundation Degrees and
for HND courses combining academic study with workplace learning.

The What Do We Know About? series explores the mysterious, the
unknown, and the unexplained. Will we ever learn the truth
about what actually landed at Roswell? From the #1 New York Times
Best-Selling Who Was? series comes Where Is?, a series that tells
the stories of world-famous landmarks and natural wonders and
features a fold-out map! In 1947, an unusual object crashed in the
New Mexico desert and was recovered by the Roswell Army Airfield
officers. People everywhere began to speculate what the object
could be. Could it possibly be a flying saucer? Would that be proof
of aliens and life beyond Earth? Even decades later, some people
still believe that the Roswell Incident is the most famous UFO
sighting ever. Still, those who worked at the airfield insist it
was just a weather balloon that had fallen from the sky. Was the
Roswell Incident evidence of alien life, a government
cover-up, or just a myth? Here are the facts about what
we do know about Roswell.
