1. Curricular materials that intentionally couple leadership theories with adult development and learning theories are lacking, especially for a broad audience. 2. The cases included in this book will draw on real-world examples developed by advanced doctoral students and faculty in the fields of leadership and adult development. 3. Each case will be relatively short, so will allow instructors to introduce and explore multiple cases within a single course as a supplement to their current reading assignments.

Food writer Judy Jackson has a blog going out to over 25,000 young people. This is the audience for her second novel, Sextet. After the award-winning Camel Trail, she has come up with a story of music, adultery and a child's life in jeopardy. Does food come into it? Only in brief scenes where the two main characters are cooking and struggling to rebuild their lives. Joseph is a concert pianist; Tom is an art dealer. Both are coming to terms with tragedy. Sextet is a story for our time, written by an author (with twelve grandchildren) who has got into the lives and minds of young people today.

Remember being told 'Don't play with your food'? Lookit Cookit is just the opposite. A magical journey into the world of food and cooking, it has experiments, games and quizzes. Designed for children of about 7 and over, it will encourage the pickiest eater to try new tastes. There's no mention of eating the obligatory 'five a day' fruit and vegetables, yet children will be cooking - and eating - many things they've never encountered before.

Based on a true story of four generations, the action moves from the Middle East to Gibraltar, London and Lisbon. The title comes from a treasure - a teapot with a spout shaped like a camel's head. The narrative is in two interweaving strands: Anna's story from 1944 - 1976 and David's story starting in 1834. David Levy is orphaned in a disaster in Safed in 1837. Thirty years later he is in England hosting a society ball. His granddaughter Anna finds notebooks showing glimpses of a hundred years of family life, but behind the apparent calm lies a story of deception and betrayal. The novel is woven round the roots of the author's family.
