Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Today's multigenerational, fast-paced work environment is causing
employees to rethink their work. Today it is less about the
paycheck and more about seeking a meaningful and purpose-driven
career. As we spend more time in the workplace, and technology
makes working from anywhere more commonplace, it is more vital than
ever to create a work environment that instills meaning, both in
the workplace and in our lives. Research shows that the vast
majority of employees (85% worldwide) are disengaged, which is
killing employee happiness and satisfaction, and thereby affecting
the bottom line. Meaning-Centered Leadership will inspire and
incite readers to create meaning in their organizations so their
employees have higher engagement and are more fulfilled. By
creating meaning, we can turn employee engagement levels upside
down, creating a powerful, more productive, and overall happier
place to work. The 3Es of Meaning-Centered Leadership - Engagement,
Empowerment, and Expertise - will provide leaders ways to develop
behaviors and strategies that in turn will inspire employees to
love their jobs and their lives! Happier employees lead to
healthier work environments and higher engagement, positively
impacting the bottom line.

David Foster Wallace's Toxic Sexuality: Hideousness, Neoliberalism,
Spermatics is the first full-length study of perhaps the most
controversial aspect of Wallace's work - male sexuality. Departing
from biographical accounts of Wallace's troubled relationship to
sex, the book offers new and engaging close readings of this vexed
topic in both his fiction and non-fiction. Wallace consistently
returns to images of sexual toxicity across his career to argue
that, when it comes to sex, men are immutably hideous. He makes
this argument by drawing on a variety of neoliberal logics and
spermatic metaphors, which in their appeal to apparently neutral
economic processes and natural bodily facts, forestall the
possibility that men can change. The book therefore provides a
revisionist account of Wallace's attitudes towards capitalism, as
well as a critical dissection of his approach to masculinity and
sexuality. In doing so, David Foster Wallace's Toxic Sexuality
shows how Wallace can be considered a neoliberal writer, whose
commitment to furthering male sexual toxicity is a disturbing but
undeniable part of his literary project.
It is a peculiarity of Cambridge that in one of the principal
streets, Trumpington Street, there is a runnel of fresh water,
called Hobson's Conduit, on either side of the road (a similar
stream in St Andrew's Street was covered over in the 1990s.) These
streams form part of a system of water supply named after Thomas
Hobson (1545 1631), the Cambridge carrier, from whom we get the
expression 'Hobson's Choice', and for who the young John Milton
wrote two verse epitaphs, reproduced in this work. For 250 years,
Hobson's Conduit provided the principal supply of drinking water
for the centre of the city, after Andrew Perne (1519 89),
Vice-Chancellor of the University, persuaded a number of patrons,
including Hobson, to subscribe towards the project. First published
in 1938, this history of Cambridge's ancient urban watercourse was
written by W. D. Bushell, one of the trustees of the Hobson's
Conduit Trust.
