This book considers the ways that family relationships (parental,
marital, sibling or other) mimic, and stand in for, political ones
in the Early Modern period, and vice versa. Bringing together
leading international scholars in literary-historical fields to
produce scholarship informed by the perspective of contemporary
politics, the volume examines the ways in which the family defines
itself in transformative moments of potential crisis - birth and
death, maturation, marriage - moments when the family is
negotiating its position within and through broader cultural
frameworks, and when, as a result, family 'politics' become most
apparent.
The relationship between offender and criminal justice practitioner
has shifted throughout rehabilitative history, whether situated
within psychological interventions, prison or probation. This
relationship has evolved and adapted over time, but interpersonal
processes remain central to offender work. However, little work has
critically focused upon the challenging task of developing and
sustaining positive relationships with offenders. This book
addresses this gap, providing an in-depth exploration of the
processes which underpin correctional relationships within
probation. Through an innovative methodology, it examines how
practitioners can enhance their practice by understanding how
relationships form, deepen and end effectively. For the first time,
it draws on the experiences of offenders and practitioners to
uncover the darker side to relationships, identifying how they can
rupture and break down. From this exploration, it presents
alternative ways in which relationships can be repaired and
safeguarded within correctional practice. In essence, this book
assists practitioners in becoming successful supporters of change.
In an increasingly competitive and politicised climate, this book
outlines how political and organisational tensions can impact upon
the flow of relationships across the criminal justice system.
Uniquely, this book examines how these tensions can be overcome to
produce transformative changes. Lewis suggests that therapeutic
correctional relationships can thrive within a number of
correctional settings and presents the core principles of
relational practice and dynamic model of therapeutic correctional
relationships to assist in achieving quality and sustainable
practice. This book will appeal to criminological and psychological
scholars as well as students studying probation and prison
practice, offender rehabilitation and desistance.
This book analyses the cultural and theatrical intersections of
early modern temporal concepts and gendered identities. Through
close readings of the works of Shakespeare, Middleton, Dekker,
Heywood and others, across the genres of domestic comedy, city
comedy and revenge tragedy, Sarah Lewis shows how temporal tropes
are used to delineate masculinity and femininity on the early
modern stage, and vice versa. She sets out the ways in which the
temporal constructs of patience, prodigality and revenge, as well
as the dramatic identities that are built from those constructs,
and the experience of playgoing itself, negotiate a fraught
opposition between action in the moment and delay in the duration.
This book argues that looking at time through the lens of gender,
and gender through the lens of time, is crucial if we are to
develop our understanding of the early modern cultural construction
of both.

Appreciative Inquiry (AI) is a widely recognised process for
engaging people in organizational development and change
management. Based on conversational practice, it is a particular
way of asking questions, fostering relationships and increasing an
organization's capacity for collaboration and change. It focuses on
building organizations around what works, rather than trying to fix
what doesn't, and acknowledges the contribution of individuals in
increasing trust and organizational alignment and effectiveness.
Appreciative Inquiry for Change Management studies AI in depth,
identifying what makes it work and how to implement it to improve
performance within the business. Appreciative Inquiry for Change
Management explains the skills, perspectives and approaches needed
for successful AI, and demonstrates how a practical conversational
approach can be applied to organizational challenges in times of
change. Case studies from organizations that have already
integrated AI into their change management practice, including
Nokia and BP, reveal why the processes are valuable and how to
promote, create and generate such conversations in other
organizations. Written in jargon-free language, this second edition
now includes chapters on how positive psychology can enhance
appreciative practice and appreciative coaching, making it an
essential resource for anyone looking to implement AI in their
organization.

An inspiring book about what it means to be human as we struggle
for mastery in our various spheres. It's one of the enduring
enigmas of the human experience: many of our most iconic, creative
endeavours - from recent Nobel Prize-winning discoveries to
entrepreneurial invention, and classic works in the arts - are not
achievements, but conversions, corrections after a failed past
attempt. The Rise - part investigation into a psychological
mystery, part argument about creativity and art, and part soulful
celebration of the determination and courage of the human spirit -
makes the case that many of the world's greatest achievements have
come from understanding the central importance of this mystery for
working and living at the height of our capacity. Written over four
years, this exquisite biography of an idea is about the improbable
foundations of creative human endeavours. The Rise begins with
narratives about figures that range from choreographers, painters,
inventors, explorers, and entrepreneurs; Frederick Douglass, Samuel
F. B. Morse, Diane Arbus, and J.K. Rowling, for example, feature
alongside choreographer Paul Taylor, Nobel Prize-winning physicists
Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, and Arctic explorer Ben
Saunders. Each chapter focuses on the inestimable value of often
ignored ideas - the power of surrender for fortitude, the
criticality of play for innovation, and the propulsion of the "near
win" on the road to mastery, the importance of grit and creative
practice. While it is not a how-to book, it contains important
lessons for pedagogy and parenting, for innovation and discovery,
and for self-direction and creativity. The Rise is an inspiring
book about what it means to be human as we struggle for mastery in
our various spheres.

and makes clear his profound impression on visual culture
worldwide. Published on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition at
Gagosian, New York, in 2023, this striking illustrated catalogue

select a photograph by Avedon and elaborate on the ways in which
both the image and artist have made an impact on their lives.
Participants include Hilton Als, Naomi Campbell, Elton John, Spike
Lee, Sally Mann, Polly Mellen, Kate Moss, Chloë Sevigny, Taryn
Simon, Christy Turlington, and Jonas Wood. Avedon 100 celebrates
Avedon’s enduring influence on photography and makes clear his
profound impression on visual culture worldwide. The book
represents various periods from his oeuvre, including the widely
known In the American West series, images of the social justice
movement, classic portraiture, advertising, and fashion work. The
photographs reproduced reveal the enormous and fascinating
diversity of Avedon’s subjects, while the commentary offered by
the celebrated selectors underscores the breadth and longevity of
his legacy. Avedon 100 includes a foreword by Larry Gagosian, texts
by Derek Blasberg and Jake Skeets, and an essay by Sarah Elizabeth
Lewis.
Essays and interviews explore the work of Carrie Mae Weems and its
place in the history of photography, African American art, and
contemporary art.In this October Files volume, essays and
interviews explore the work of the influential American artist
Carrie Mae Weems--her invention and originality, the formal
dimensions of her practice, and her importance to the history of
photography and contemporary art. Since the 1980s, Weems (b. 1953)
has challenged the status of the black female body within the
complex social fabric of American society. Her photographic work,
film, and performance investigate spaces that range from the
American kitchen table to the nineteenth-century world of
historically black Hampton University to the ancient landscapes of
Rome. These texts consider the underpinnings of photographic
history in Weems's work, focusing on such early works as The
Kitchen Table series; Weems's engagement with photographic
archives, historical spaces, and the conceptual legacy of art
history; and the relationship between her work and its
institutional venues. The book makes clear not only the importance
of Weems's work but also the necessity for an expanded set of
concerns in contemporary art--one in which race does not restrict a
discussion of aesthetics, as it has in the past, robbing black
artists of a full consideration of their work. Contributors Dawoud

It's said that how we eat is reflective of our appetite in bed.
Food and sex: two universal experiences that can easily become
addictive and all consuming. You don't need to look far--The Food
Network, billboards, TV spots to name just a few--to witness
firsthand the explosive combination of food and sex.
In "Sex and Bacon: Why I Love Things That Are Very, Very Bad for
Me," Sarah Katherine Lewis is a seductress whose observations about
the interplay between food and sex are unusually delightful,
sometimes raunchy, and always absorbing. "Sex and Bacon" is a
unique type of lovefest, and Lewis is not your run-of-the-mill food
writer.
A lusty eater who's spent the better part of her adult life as a
sex worker, Lewis is as reckless as she is adventurous. She writes
of eating whale and bone marrow as challenges she was incapable of
resisting. With chapters that hone in on the categorically
simple--fat, sugar, meat--Lewis infuses even the most quotidian
meals and food memories with sensual observations and decadence
worthy of savoring. "Sex and Bacon" is exuberant--a celebration
that honors the rawness and base needs that are central to our
experiences of both food and sex.
