This book is for corporate managers with a mandate for
'innovation', but no idea how to make that happen.C-suite
executives and boards of directors are increasingly looking for
companies to reinvent themselves or risk being left behind. With
this book, companies can monetize employee's ideas in a manner that
doesn't cost a fortune or create conflicts of interest within the
ranks. Not every creative expression is going to result in tens of
millions of dollars in revenue-but many will create licensing
opportunities that are, at the very least, essentially free money
for new product development. Another cadre of readers will realize
their innovation-rich futures are languishing in corporate
purgatory. Should they quit and pitch their 'million-dollar idea'
to another organization entirely (as outsiders), or can they take
this book to their leaders and drive change, one manager at a time?
Dropwater Hemlock & The Wilderness Half poetry - half prose,
"Dropwater Hemlock & The Wilderness" details the narrators
struggle with feelings of grief after losing his sister, a nomadic,
characterful, raving free spirit, to suicide. In a series of flash
backs in the time between hearing of her death up until her funeral
encompassing a trip to Reykjavik Iceland in the Winter that
followed, the narrator describes childhood memories, dreams and
sometimes supernatural premonitions that interlink whilst
traversing the unfamiliar landscape that is grief at losing a
sibling which the narrator has come to name "The Wilderness".
Step by step he takes to the lake...Now frozen over... Dare to
tread? Anthology of poems from the Wolf...

The definitive history of how witchcraft and black magic have
survived, through the modern era and into the present day Cursed
Britain unveils the enduring power of witchcraft, curses and black
magic in modern times. Few topics are so secretive or
controversial. Yet, whether in the 1800s or the early 2000s, when
disasters struck or personal misfortunes mounted, many Britons
found themselves believing in things they had previously dismissed
- dark supernatural forces. Historian Thomas Waters here explores
the lives of cursed or bewitched people, along with the witches and
witch-busters who helped and harmed them. Waters takes us on a
fascinating journey from Scottish islands to the folklore-rich West
Country, from the immense territories of the British Empire to
metropolitan London. We learn why magic caters to deep-seated human
needs but see how it can also be abused, and discover how
witchcraft survives by evolving and changing. Along the way, we
examine an array of remarkable beliefs and rituals, from
traditional folk magic to diverse spiritualities originating in
Africa and Asia. This is a tale of cynical quacks and sincere
magical healers, depressed people and furious vigilantes, innocent
victims and rogues who claimed to possess evil abilities. Their
spellbinding stories raise important questions about the state's
role in regulating radical spiritualities, the fragility of
secularism and the true nature of magic.
