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.

Women in the Victorian period were acknowledged to be the
"religious sex," but their relationship to the doctrines,
practices, and hierarchies of Christianity was both highly
circumscribed, which has been well documented, and complexly
creative, which has not. Gray visits the importance of the
literature of Christian devotion to women's creative lives through
an examination of the varied ways in which Victorian women
reproduced and recreated traditional Christian texts in their own
poetic texts. Investigating how women poets redeployed the
discourse of Christianity to uncover the multiple voices of the
scriptures, to expand identity and gender constructions, and to
question traditional narratives and processes of authorization,
Gray contends that women found in religious poetry unexpected,
liberating possibilities. Taking into account multiple voices, from
the best-known female poets of the day to some of the most obscure,
this study provides a comprehensive account of Victorian women's
religious poetic creativity, and argues that this body of work
helped shape the development of the lyric in the Victorian period.
Accounting, often described as "the language of business", requires
a diverse set of written, listening and oral communication skills
if those who practise it are to be effective. Given the pace of
change relating to, for example, the evolution of international
accounting standards and the demands for greater transparency,
accountants must be clear, responsive, and audience-focussed
communicators. Employers of accountants consistently comment on the
need for their new graduate recruits and trainees to have strong
written, oral, and interpersonal communication skills. In this
light, accounting educators face the challenge of designing and
delivering programmes that reflect professional expectations on the
part of employers and clients, and educating students on how to
make informed communication choices in order to achieve desired
results and to build good working relationships. The chapters in
this book deal with such topics as accounting students' perceptions
of oral communication skills; competence-based writing skills; and
the development of listening skills. This book is derived from
articles originally published in Accounting Education: an
international journal.
A guide to risk management for those positions of responsibility.
The reader will be all too aware of what could go wrong in your own
organisation, but may not have learned the tools to assess and
manage those problems. The book focuses on project risk at the
grassroots - the niggly details that can make an organisation fail
or succeed.This book will unpack risk and help the reader
understand that looking at what could go wrong and planning what
the reader might do about it is far more about creativity and being
prepared than about fulfilling some external requirement. It will
give the reader the language and the tools to meet risk head on and
create appropriate responses to it. Includes; Defining and
identifying risk, categorising risk types, risk analysis, risk
mitigation and management. Includes an example risk management plan
that you can follow as the book progresses.

"...an important ecumenical series." Methodist Recorder Quaker
Spirituality: Selected Writings edited and introduced by Douglas V.
Steere preface by Elizabeth Gray Vining "...as I was thus humbled
and disciplined under the cross, my understanding became more
strengthened to distinguish the language of the pure Spirit which
inwardly moves upon the heart..." John Woolman (1720-1772)
Simplicity in forms of worship, opposition to violence, concern for
social injustice, and, above all, a faith in the personal and
corporate guidance of the Holy Spirit are characteristics of the
spirituality of the people called Quakers. From their beginnings in
the seventeenth-century England until today, the Quakers have
attempted to radically live out their belief in the presence of
God's spirit within their hearts. In this book, Douglas V. Steere,
the distinguished T. Wistar Brown Professor Emeritus from Haverford
College, has assembled a comprehensive collection of Quaker
writings. Included are selections from the journals of George Fox
and John Woolman, Thomas Kelly's Testament of Devotion, and the
works of Caroline Stephen and Rufus Jones.
