Gareth Edwards has done scholars from both leadership and community
studies a real service by bringing their literatures together in a
way that will mutually enrich both fields in years to come. This
charming and elegant book models the kind of leadership necessary
to engender the community spirit many of us crave in an
increasingly complex and rootless world.' - Brad Jackson, Victoria
University of Wellington, New ZealandCommunity as Leadership forges
a relational notion of leadership linked to community and uses this
lens to develop themes for future research and methodology. The
book investigates and develops several lines of thinking on
community and relates them to leadership. These perspectives
include individualism, sense of belonging, friendship and social
networks, aesthetics and symbolism, liminality and language and
ethics. Offering a critical postmodern stance, Gareth Edwards
examines themes for future research, as well as suggesting ideas
and implications for leadership learning. Students looking to
explore contemporary thinking on leadership will find this book to
be of interest while academics will find use in the avenues for
future research and conceptual thinking.
This book is your comprehensive guide to key leadership theories,
topics and trends. It goes beyond the basics to explore
contemporary issues such as power and politics, authenticity,
followership, toxicity, language, identity, ethics and
sustainability, enabling you to gain a deep, holistic understanding
of the field. Updated throughout with new examples, Critical
Thinking boxes and further reading suggestions, the third edition
of Studying Leadership: Traditional and Critical Approaches is the
ideal accompaniment to leadership courses across a range of subject
areas, including Business & Management, Health and Education.
Lecturers can access a range of useful resources, including an
instructor's manual, selected SAGE Business Cases and videos,
PowerPoint slides and a testbank, via the companion website. Doris
Schedlitzki is Professor in Organisational Leadership at Guildhall
School of Business and Law, London Metropolitan University. Gareth

Bryan Cranston, Ken Watanabe, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Sally
Hawkins star in this reimagining of the 1954
Japanese film about the destruction caused by a giant monster.
When
a devastating event is covered up as a natural disaster, nuclear
physicist Joe Brody realises something much more sinister is to blame. Scientists Dr. Ichiro Serizawa and Dr. Vivienne Graham reveal that in 1954 a powerful monster was awakened and though 'nuclear tests' were carried out in the Pacific Ocean to destroy it, the creature has now returned.
With the US Armed Forces, including Joe's son Navy Lieutenant Ford Brody, called into action, humanity fights for its survival.
A hilarious picture book about a very hungry, and rather unlucky,
badger in search of a sandwich - with a wickedly funny twist in the
tale One day, a boy drops his sandwich in a sandpit, and the race
is on! A very hungry badger wants it, but he's just not quick
enough. The sandwich is dropped, squashed and slithered over by
everyone from a squirrel, to a fox, to a band of slugs. Will the
badger ever get his paws on that sandwich? And will he even want it
if he does, or will it just be too disgusting? Children will love
the 'yuck factor' of the ending, when the badger ditches the
sandwich in favour of slurping up all the slimy slugs Beautifully
written with satisfying repetition and a refrain children will love
joining in with Gorgeous illustrations by Hannah Shaw bring this
funny picture book to life in glorious, quirky detail
Gareth Edwards directs this sci-fi adventure set in the 'Star Wars'
universe, featuring a stand-alone story written by Chris Weitz and
Tony Gilroy. After being recruited by Rebel Alliance leader Mon
Mothma (Genevieve O'Reilly), former criminal Jyn Erso (Felicity
Jones) is tasked with stealing the plans for the Death Star so that
the weapon can be destroyed before it causes damage to the galaxy.
Teaming up with Rebel Captain Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), master
swordsman Chirrut Imwe (Donnie Yen) and a band of hardy freedom
fighters, Jyn takes on the might of the Empire in a challenge
tougher than anything she could have imagined. The cast also
includes Ben Mendelsohn, Forest Whitaker, Mads Mikkelsen and Alan
Tudyk.
The confluence of global climate change, growing levels of
energy consumption and rapid urbanization has led the international
policy community to regard urban responses to climate change as an
urgent agenda (World Bank 2010). The contribution of cities to
rising levels of greenhouse gas emissions coupled with concerns
about the vulnerability of urban places and communities to the
impacts of climate change have led to a relatively recent and
rapidly proliferating interest amongst both academic and policy
communities in how cities might be able to respond to mitigation
and adaptation. Attention has focused on the potential for
municipal authorities to develop policy and plans that can address
these twin issues, and the challenges of capacity, resource and
politics that have been encountered. While this literature has
captured some of the essential means through which the urban
response to climate change is being forged, is that it has failed
to take account of the multiple sites and spaces of climate change
response that are emerging in cities off-plan . "
An Urban Politics of Climate Change" provides the first account
of urban responses to climate change that moves beyond the boundary
of municipal institutions to critically examine the governing of
climate change in the city as a matter of both public and private
authority, and to engage with the ways in which this is bound up
with the politics and practices of urban infrastructure. The book
draws on cases from multiple cities in both developed and emerging
economies to providing new insight into the potential and
limitations of urban responses to climate change, as well as new
conceptual direction for our understanding of the politics of
environmental governance. "

Abstract landscape painting expresses emotion while still capturing
the essence of a landscape. This compelling book explores this
suggestive style first developed by Turner. Using the
hauntingly-beautiful paintings of Gareth Edwards, it explores the
technical, historical and psychological dimensions of abstract
landscape painting to help you develop your own skilful and
intensely personal approach. Through this new book you can learn
about how to begin an abstract landscape painting, using chance
application; understand how to 'manage accidents' to create
innovative pieces of work; discover the importance of effective
composition and how this navigates the viewer's journey; determine
the importance of the 'invisible' elements of painting: the
unspoken value of the viewer and the influence of 'looking'. It
also reveals how to utilize a convergence of linear and atmospheric
perspective to help your viewer traverse the picture plane and
helps you understand the importance of light, space, colour, and
tone in generating evocative paintings. Finally, it encourages you
to be more demanding of your surface, using textural techniques and
glazing to achieve professional production values. It is a unique
and exciting book into this under-documented genre.

Cardiff Airport began life as wartime satellite airfield RAF
Rhoose, officially opening on 7 April 1942, and has grown to become
one of the UK's major civil airports. Home of Cambrian Airways and
used by a varied mix of international airlines, the airport has
been continually upgraded since civilian flying began in 1952.
Aircraft maintenance has always been a vital part of the airport's
activity and BAMC is one of the largest buildings in South Wales
and can accommodate four Boeing 747 'jumbo jets' at one time. It is
not only aircraft that comprise this airport's lively history; many
people have shaped it including workers, travellers and even rugby
celebrities. The supporters' 'air lifts' to and from matches are
legendary. 2012 was the 70th anniversary of the first operations at
this sleepy Vale of Glamorgan airfield. Little did those wartime
pilots realise that one day their 'satellite airfield' would
resound to the sounds of Concorde, Jumbo Jets and every
contemporary aircraft imaginable.
This report addresses carbon labeling schemes, a high-profile issue
and one that has important economic implications for developing
countries. Carbon accounting and labeling instruments are designed
to present information on greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from
supply chains. These instruments have become an important
awareness-raising channel for governments, producers, retailers and
consumers to bring about the reduction of GHGs. At the same time,
they have emerged as a crucial element of supply chain management,
trade logistics and, potentially, trade regulations between
countries. But the underlying science of GHG emissions is only
partially developed. Many of these schemes are based on rudimentary
knowledge of GHG emissions and have mainly been designed by
industrialized countries. There is a concern that these systems do
not accurately reflect production processes in developing
countries, and that they may even shift consumer preferences away
from developing country exports. The report includes an analysis of
current and emerging carbon labeling schemes and an assessment of
available data, emissions factors and knowledge gaps of carbon
footprinting methodologies. The report also analyzes carbon
accounting methodologies for sugar and pineapple products from
Zambia and Mauritius according to PAS 2050 guidelines, to
illustrate whether these schemes accurately represent the
production systems in developing countries. The report concludes
with a series of recommendations on how carbon footprint labeling
can be made more development-friendly
In February 1973, the 'Troubles' in Northern Ireland were at their
very worst and following Bloody Sunday the previous year neither
the Scotland nor Wales rugby teams would dare to travel to Ireland
to play. Almost totally reliant on income from International
matches, the Irish Rugby Union faced imminent bankruptcy and the
Five Nations competition itself hung in the balance. What would
England do? The press and public were divided on the subject and
the blazers in the corridors of power at Twickenham were at first
keen to go but then rather ducked the issue by 'leaving it up to
the individual players'. John Pullin had recently been made captain
of England and had returned triumphantly from South Africa where,
against all the odds, he had led England to a heroic win against
the Springboks. This quietly spoken Gloucestershire farmer had
established himself as the leading hooker in world rugby at the
time and, having consulted his firm friend and opposing captain
Willie John McBride, who expressed how desperate the Irish were to
stay in the family of rugby nations, he made it abundantly clear
that he was going and no less than twelve of his colleagues from
the previous match followed him. They were received rapturously by
the enormous crowd in Dublin and after the match, which England
lost, he stood up at the dinner and uttered the immortal words 'We
are not much good but at least we turn up!' It brought the house
down and over forty years later he is still revered and loved in
Ireland more than any other English sportsman. This is the story of
this great England captain, who led his country to victory over the
Springboks, the All Blacks on their home soil in Auckland, and the
Wallabies, and also played for the British Lions in 1971 on the
victorious tour of New Zealand.
