Drawing heavily on the much vaunted John Lewis Partnership model as
well as looking at best practice from other companies this book is
about inclusive capitalism, which is about getting people in and on
in work. Acting responsibly to all stakeholders is central to this
theme, with employees, the most important stakeholder, the driver
of it all. This book is about that other way, a fairer way...A
sustainable way. Delivered in easy to digest sections part one of
the book looks at the principle behind the theory whilst part two
explains how to deliver the theory in practical terms.
A captivating and insightful account of Dr Max Price’s journey at the helm of a major South African university during a period of immense upheaval.
As Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cape Town for two terms from 2008 to 2018, he offers a candid look at the challenges he faced during his time including transformation, rights of artistic expression, institutional culture, clemencies and amnesties, restorative justice and ethical decision, and of course, #FeesMustFall protests – which shook the country's higher education sector to its core.
Drawing on his experiences, Price delves into the complexities of multi-stakeholder decision-making, crisis management, and the importance of values such as academic freedom in an increasingly polarised world. Part memoir, part insider's view of history, and part leadership guide, Statues and Storms is a must-read for anyone interested in higher education, South African history, or the art of leadership during times of crisis.

The Alta Via 1 is one of Italy's most famous and most popular
long-distance routes and is the easiest of six Alta Via routes that
traverse the magnificent Dolomites. The hut-to-hut trail extends
115km from Lago di Braies to La Pissa, boasting spectacular alpine
vistas. Although it demands a moderate level of fitness, it is well
waymarked and follows clear well-trodden paths, making for an ideal
introduction to trekking in the Dolomites. Welcoming refuges offer
meals and accommodation along the way, though camping is also
possible on the middle stages (restrictions apply elsewhere). The
route is presented in 11 stages, each with overview statistics, a
brief summary of the day's walking and detailed route description
illustrated with clear mapping. There are also comprehensive notes
on the huts the route passes, with contact details and tips on
facilities available. The intro includes advice on transport,
accommodation and equipment, plus suggestions for creating shorter
itineraries should time be limited, and there are facts about local
points of interest and background information on the region's
geology, plants and wildlife. A handy map booklet is also included,
showing the full route of AV1 on 1:25,000 Kompass mapping, so you
don't have to carry paper maps. Famed for their striking jagged
peaks and sheer rock faces, the Dolomites also bear stark reminders
of the turbulent World War I years in the shape of trenches and
barracks. The AV1 is a wonderful way to experience the celebrated
scenery: (weather permitting) an estimated 80% of the Dolomites can
be seen from the trail, with highlights including fantastic views
of the Tofane, Pelmo and Civetta and the iconic Marmolada with its
glacier. If this is your first visit to the region, you'll soon see
why so many fall under its spell!
The Wanderers, a teenage gang in the Bronx of the early 1960s, are
just trying to stay alive - and maybe have a little sex. But it's
not going to be easy. They're facing murderous parents, unimpressed
girls, an all-Chinese gang and a pack of mute Irish maniacs,
apathetic teachers, and a ten-year-old cold-blooded killer. Against
these odds, will the Wanderers get what they're after?

Early settlers first called this area Boldface Hill, for a Native
American chieftain, but the name was soon changed to Priceas Hill,
named after Rees Price and his family, who were among the first
city dwellers to see the residential potential of the area. Reesas
father, Evan Price, speculated in land west of the city, and his
son opened a brickyard and sawmill to serve the building boom. In
1874, Reesas sons John and William built an inclined plane to make
the commute up the hill easier. With improved transportation, the
communityas population soared, mostly because the air was cleaner
up on the hill than it was downtown. Strong community roots were
quickly seeded and have since grown. Schools such as Seton, Elder,
and Western Hills each have a large number of supportive alumni.
Catholic and Protestant churches were built, as well as two
synagogues. Businesses were started, and two libraries grew with
the population. Residents were active in politics, social clubs,
and civic associations. The first Skyline Chili opened here and was
named for the stunning view of Cincinnati this hill offers. Other
local favorites are Price Hill Chili and the Crowas Nest. Through
more than 200 photographs and illustrations, readers can see for
themselves the roots of this great community.

Many readers are convinced that the Psalms are hopelessly
"masculine," especially given that seventy-three of the 150 psalms
begin with headings linking them to King David. In this volume,
Denise Dombkowski Hopkins sets stories about women in the Hebrew
Bible alongside Psalms 42-89 as "intertexts" for interpretation.
The stories of women such as Hannah, Rahab, Tamar, Bathsheba,
Susanna, Judith, Shiphrah, Puah, and the Levite's concubine can
generate a different set of associations for psalm metaphors than
have traditionally been put forward. These different associations
can give the reader different views of the dynamics of power,
gender, politics, religion, family, and economics in ancient Israel
and in our lives today that might help to name and transform the
brokenness of our world. From the Wisdom Commentary series Feminist
biblical interpretation has reached a level of maturity that now
makes possible a commentary series on every book of the Bible. It
is our hope that Wisdom Commentary, by making the best of current
feminist biblical scholarship available in an accessible format to
ministers, preachers, teachers, scholars, and students, will aid
all readers in their advancement toward God's vision of dignity,
equality, and justice for all. The aim of this commentary is to
provide feminist interpretation of Scripture in serious, scholarly
engagement with the whole text, not only those texts that
explicitly mention women. A central concern is the world in front
of the text, that is, how the text is heard and appropriated by
women. At the same time, this commentary aims to be faithful to the
ancient text, to explicate the world behind the text, where
appropriate, and not impose contemporary questions onto the ancient
texts. The commentary addresses not only issues of gender (which
are primary in this project) but also those of power, authority,
ethnicity, racism, and classism, which all intersect. Each volume
incorporates diverse voices and differing interpretations from
different parts of the world, showing the importance of social
location in the process of interpretation and that there is no
single definitive feminist interpretation of a text.

This guidebook describes 50 spectacular walks spanning the breadth
of the Dolomites mountains in northeast Italy. Carefully selected
to give walkers a taste of the unique character of the local area,
each walk can be tackled in a single day, allowing visitors to
travel light and return to their accommodation at day's end. Graded
from easy to strenuous, there are walks for all abilities, ranging
from 3km hour-long lake strolls and lift-assisted short walks to
20km full-day high-altitude hikes. Most routes take in mountain
huts offering refreshments and accommodation, and the guide
includes notes on food and drink, history, folklore, nature and
geology. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Dolomites are easily
accessible by train via Austria and Italy, and by air via Verona,
Venice, Treviso and Innsbruck airports. From the iconic peaks of
Tre Cime di Lavaredo and throne-like Pelmo to the Queen of the
Dolomites, the Marmolada, and the fairytale Brenta Dolomites, this
guide includes the key valleys and gateway towns for accessing the
mountains, along with details of public transport options to reach
the trailhead.
This study reconstructs the history of a significant crisis in
Christian-Jewish relations: the attempt to confiscate and destroy
all Jewish books in Renaissance Germany. This unprecedented effort
to end the practice of Judaism throughout the empire was challenged
by Jewish communities and also, in an unexpected move, by Johannes
Reuchlin (1455-1522), the founder of Christian Hebrew studies.
Reuchlin had revolutionized the Christian study of the Bible with
his Hebrew grammar. In 1510 he published an extensive, impassioned,
and successful defense of Jewish writings and Jewish legal rights
against the book pogrom, later acknowledged by Josel of Rosheim,
the leader of German Jewry, as a ''miracle within a miracle.'' The
fury that greeted Reuchlin's defense of Judaism resulted in a
protracted heresy trial that polarized Europe, ultimately fostering
a receptive environment for the nascent Reformation movement. The
legal and theological battle over charges that Reuchlin's opinions
were "impermissibly favorable to Jews," a conflict that elicited
intervention on both sides from the most powerful political and
intellectual leaders throughout Renaissance Europe, formed a new
context for Christian reflection on the status of Judaism. David
Price offers insight into important new Christian discourses on
Judaism and anti-Semitism that emerged from the clash of
Renaissance humanism with this potent anti-Jewish campaign, as well
as an innovative analysis of Luther's virulent anti-Semitism in the
context and aftermath of the Reuchlin Affair. His book is a
valuable contribution to study of an important and complex
development in European history: Christians acquiring accurate
knowledge of Judaism and its history.

An accessible and popular introduction to African photography and
cinema from the mid-20th century to the present day. The African
Gaze is a comprehensive exploration of postcolonial and
contemporary photography and cinema from Africa. Drawing from
archival imagery and documents, interviews with the photographers
and filmmakers (in some cases family members/close associates if
the artist is deceased), and contributions from writers, scholars
and curators, it maps a complete introduction to African moving and
still imagery. This is a hugely important and timely publication
– engagement with Black and African histories is stronger than
ever before (and long overdue). The major names of African
photography, such as Malick Sidibé, Sanlé Sory and Seydou Keïta,
have become highly collectible in the art market, while African
cinema, pioneered by Ousmane Sembene in 1960s Senegal, is now
recognized for its creative innovation and storytelling. For anyone
drawn to African photography and film, this book will provide an
exciting and accessible overview.

'Reading this felt like being at home - I didn't realise how much I
masked. What an incredible book that I know will be re-read many
times over.' - Dr Camilla Pang, author of Explaining Humans
'Unmasking Autism is at once a most deeply personal and scholarly
account of the damage caused by autistic (and all) people leading
masked lives, and how unmasking is essential to creating a
self-determined, authentic life... This is a remarkable work that
will stand at the forefront of the neurodiversity movement.' - Dr
Barry M. Prizant, author of Uniquely Human 'A powerful argument for
radical self-acceptance applicable to all readers.' - Los Angeles
Times 'An essential roadmap for autistic people to be themselves.'
- NPR 'Price's accessible and compassionate writing shines, and
readers will feel encouraged to embrace a new understanding of
themselves. Its potential to help masked autistic adults,
especially those from systemically marginalized backgrounds, makes
this book essential for most collections.' - Library Journal
(starred review) Have you, a friend or family member been living
with undiagnosed autism? For every visibly Autistic person you
meet, there are countless 'masked' people who pass as neurotypical.
They don't fit the stereotypical mould of Autism and are often
forced by necessity to mask who they are, spending their entire
lives trying to hide their Autistic traits. In particular, there is
evidence that Autism remains significantly undiagnosed in women,
people of colour, trans and gender non-conforming people, many of
whom are only now starting to recognise those traits later in life.
Blending cutting-edge research, personal insights and practical
exercises for self-expression, Dr Devon Price examines the
phenomenon of 'masking', making a passionate argument for radical
authenticity and non-conformity. A powerful call for change,
Unmasking Autism gifts its readers with the tools to uncover their
true selves and build a new society - one where everyone can thrive
on their own terms.
