Bioarchaeology is the analysis of human remains within an
interpretative framework, including a wide range of contextual
information. This comprehensive and much-needed manual provides
both a starting point and a reference for archaeologists working in
this integrative field. The authors cover a range of
bioarchaeological methods and theory including: * Ethical issues
involved in dealing with human remains, specifically related to
NAGPRA * Field and taphonomic clues * Lab and Forensic techniques *
Best practices methods for Excavation techniques * Special
applications of Bioarchaeology * Theoretical frameworks of
Bioarchaeology With case studies from over twenty years each of
bioarchaeological research, the authors integrate theoretical and
methodological discussion with a wide range of field studies, from
different geographic areas, time periods, and data types, to
demonstrate the full scope of this important field of study.
This book is an excellent best-practice guide for senior managers
and directors with innovation responsibilities. It describes how
organisations of all sizes and sectors can apply design thinking
principles, coupled with commercial awareness, to their innovation
agenda. It explains how to keep the customer experience at the
centre of innovation efforts and when to apply the range of
available practices. It provides a clear, extensive rationale for
all advice and techniques offered. Design thinking has become the
number one innovation methodology for many businesses, but there
has been a lack of clarity about how best to adopt it. It often
requires significant mindset and behavioural changes and managers
must have a coherent and integrated understanding in order to guide
its adoption effectively. Many design thinking implementations are
inadequate or sub-optimal through focusing too much on details of
individual methods or being too abstract, with ill-defined
objectives. This book uniquely provides integrated clarity and
rationale across all levels of design thinking practice and
introduces the ARRIVE framework for design thinking in business
innovation, which the authors have developed over ten years of
practice and research. ARRIVE = Audit – Research – Reframe –
Ideate – Validate – Execute. The book contains a chapter for
each of A-R-R-I-V-E, each of which has explanatory background and
step-by-step methods instruction in a clear and standard format.
Using the ARRIVE framework, the book provides high-level
understanding, rationale and step-by-step guidance for CEOs, senior
innovation leaders, innovation project managers and design
practitioners in diverse public and private sectors. It applies
equally well to innovation of products, services or systems.

Essays bring out the important and complex roles played by
Anglo-Saxon churchmen, including Bede and lesser-known figures.
Both episcopal and abbatial authority were of fundamental
importance to the development of the Christian church in
Anglo-Saxon England. Bishops and heads of monastic houses were
invested with a variety of types of power and influence. Their
actions, decisions, and writings could change not only their own
institutions, but also the national church, while their interaction
with the king and his court affected wider contemporary society.
Theories of ecclesiastical leadership were expounded in
contemporary texts and documents. But how far did image or ideal
reflect reality? How much room was there for individuals to use
their office to promote new ideas? The papers in this
volumeillustrate the important roles played by individual leading
ecclesiastics in England, both within the church and in the wider
political sphere, from the late seventh to the mid eleventh
century. The undeniable authority of Bede and Bishop AEthelwold is
demonstrated but also the influence of less-familiar figures such
as Bishop Wulfsige of Sherborne, Archbishop Ecgberht of York and St
Leoba. The book draws on both textual and material evidence to show
the influence (by both deed and reputation) of powerful
personalities not only on the developing institutions of the
English church but also on the secular politics of their time.

his book provides a framework for professional expertise and
practice for our times. Professionals must deal with complex and
unpredictable situations and balance competing interests. What
specific knowledge and skills should they develop to be able to
work flexibly and confidently? How is the often stereotypical
knowledge of the novice student transformed into responsive ways of
working in uncertainty? This book grounds these issues in a study
of contemporary professional practitioners as they developed their
expertise over a period of five years beginning with their
preliminary training. It describes their initiation into practice
and their progression towards professional effectiveness. Using an
analysis of patterns in the development of experienced
practitioners, the authors create a theory of professional
expertise for practice in conditions of uncertainty. The book also
proposes educational strategies to help develop this expertise.

secret which they kept private until high school. Their high school
Study Hall teacher was the only person to ever hear the accounts of
their secret, their encounter with a killer, and the origins of two
unusual artifacts.
