'I'm working on a novel intended to express the feel of England in
Edward III's time ... The fourteenth century of my novel will be
mainly evoked in terms of smell and visceral feelings, and it will
carry an undertone of general disgust rather than hey-nonny
nostalgia' - Anthony Burgess, 1973 The Black Prince is a brutal
historical tale of chivalry, religious belief, obsession, siege and
bloody warfare. From disorientating depictions of medieval battles
to court intrigues and betrayals, the campaigns of Edward, the
Black Prince, are brought to vivid life. This rambunctious book,
based on a completed screenplay by Anthony Burgess, showcases Adam
Roberts in complete control of the novel as a way of making us look
at history with fresh eyes, all while staying true to the
linguistic pyrotechnics and narrative verve of Burgess's best work.

After World War II, the AFL-CIO pursued an ambitious agenda of
containing global communism and helping to throw off the shackles
of colonialism. This sweeping collection brings together
contributions from leading historians to explore its successes,
challenges, and inevitable compromises as it pursued these
initiatives during the Cold War.
Following World War II, the AFL-CIO pursued an ambitious
international agenda. To its leaders, the imperatives of saving
Western Europe from Stalinism, rolling back Soviet gains in Eastern
Europe, containing Communism around the world, throwing off the
shackles of colonialism, and overcoming "uneven development"
justified extraordinary measures. They sought to protect
international labor while fostering American-style "business
unionism," which used collective bargaining and strikes to capture
a greater share of the capitalist system's economic pie. At the
same time, they believed that thwarting Communist designs on local
organizations was a prerequisite to cultivating free labor
movements and creating prosperity for the world's workers - and
battling Communism often meant working in conjunction with the US
government, including even the Central Intelligence Agency. This
sweeping state-of-the-field collection brings together
contributions from leading diplomatic, labor, and transnational
historians to explore and assess the AFL-CIO's successes,
challenges, and inevitable compromises as it pursued these varied
initiatives during the Cold War era.

An eccentric, exotic photographer is drawn to a beautiful psychic
in a turn-of-the-century novel about love, possession, adventure,
and greed. At the close of the nineteenth century, wheelchair-bound
Augustus Auerbach's only interest is his extraordinarily lucrative
business: manufacturing and marketing pornographic photographs. His
outlook is forever altered, however, when one of his models
pressures him to attend a seance. It is there that Augustus meets
the medium Verena Swann, a beautiful widow who gives voice to the
long-dead spirit of his mother. At the time of her first encounter
with Augustus, Verena is close to nervous collapse, overwhelmed by
the demands of her clients who are half-mad with yearning for their
deceased loved ones. Her spiritual powers have begun to fail her,
and now forced to fake her public trances, she wonders if her
ability to converse with the spirits was ever more than
self-delusion. Though initially reluctant, Augustus embarks on a
series of private sittings with Verena, finding himself
increasingly drawn to her as much for personal reasons as for the
proof of immortality she offers him. Verena, meanwhile, is torn
between three men: Augustus, the millionaire pornographer; Captain
Theodore Swann, Verena's adventurer husband, killed on an
expedition to the North Pole; and Leopold Swann, Verena's
brother-in-law and business partner, who has decided that their
next and greatest conquest will be Augustus himself.

Rethinking How to Build Inclusive Organizations Race, Work, and
Leadership is a rare and important compilation of essays that
examines how race matters in people's experience of work and
leadership. What does it mean to be black in corporate America
today? How are racial dynamics in organizations changing? How do we
build inclusive organizations? Inspired by and developed in
conjunction with the research and programming for Harvard Business
School's commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding
of the HBS African American Student Union, this groundbreaking book
shines new light on these and other timely questions and
illuminates the present-day dynamics of race in the workplace.
Contributions from top scholars, researchers, and practitioners in
leadership, organizational behavior, psychology, sociology, and
education test the relevance of long-held assumptions and
reconsider the research approaches and interventions needed to
understand and advance African Americans in work settings and
leadership roles. At a time when--following a peak in 2002--there
are fewer African American men and women in corporate leadership
roles, Race, Work, and Leadership will stimulate new scholarship
and dialogue on the organizational and leadership challenges of
African Americans and become the indispensable reference for anyone
committed to understanding, studying, and acting on the challenges
facing leaders who are building inclusive organizations.
