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.
Leadership: Enhancing the Lessons of Experience, 10e, now consists
of 18 chapters, four of which cover specific leadership skills and
qualities covered in each of the book's four sections. Hughes,
Ginnett, and Curphy draw upon three different types of literature -
empirical studies; interesting anecdotes, stories, and findings;
and leadership skills - to create a text that is personally
relevant, interesting, and scholarly. The authors' unique quest for
a careful balancing act of leadership materials helps students
apply theory and research to their real-life experiences. The 10th
edition has been thoroughly updated in virtually every chapter,
including new content specific to how leaders respond to crisis
(related to the pandemic).
Forgiveness was a preoccupation of writers in the Victorian period,
bridging literatures highbrow and low, sacred and secular. Yet if
forgiveness represented a common value and language, literary
scholarship has often ignored the diverse meanings and practices
behind this apparently uncomplicated value in the Victorian period.
"Forgiveness in Victorian Literature" examines how eminent writers
such as Charles Dickens, George Eliot, Thomas Hardy, and Oscar
Wilde wrestled with the religious and social meanings of
forgiveness in an age of theological controversy and increasing
pluralism in ethical matters. In novels, poems, and essays, Richard
Gibson here discovers unorthodox uses of the language of
forgiveness and delicate negotiations between rival ethical and
religious frameworks, which complicated forgiveness's traditional
powers to create or restore community and, within narratives,
offered resolution and closure. Illuminated by contemporary
philosophical and theological investigations of forgiveness, this
study also suggests that Victorian literature offers new
perspectives on the ongoing debate about the possibility and
potency of forgiving.
Privileged thinking in today's schools is alive and well and shows
its ugly head in a variety of ways that often go undetected (or are
not addressed) by the educators down in the trenches. In this
collection of scenarios and episodes, many of which were
experienced by the authors in their years as school administrators,
you will find an array of provocative examples of social injustice
in the classroom, and what you can do to prevent it in your own
school community. As the authors candidly and vulnerably reveal
their own 'blind spots' and biases that occurred 'on their watch, '
readers will be able to take a look in the mirror as well, thus
taking a critical step in better advocating for those students
'left on the fringe' in classrooms and schools
