A study of the sex killer Chris Halliwell who, having been arrested in 2011 for one murder, led police to the scene of a second. But the senior police officer blew it . . .Superintendent Steve Fulcher of Hampshire Police had not followed procedure, an error that was to see him severely censured, leading to his retirement from the force. Due to this monumental error in judgement infamous killer Christopher Halliwell could not be convicted of a second murder, despite his openly admitting having committed it. Fulcher was suspended for gross misconduct, and later quit the force. Halliwell, imprisoned for the first murder, was later convicted of the second, after a long and tortuous process of collecting new evidence. But among sixty items of women's clothing found when Halliwell's home was searched, only a few pieces belonged to his two known victims. For this and other reasons, the police, including Fulcher, remain convinced that he has killed other women known to have disappeared...This is a riveting account of a clever, dangerous and secretive killer, and of a police officer whose instincts led him to a second murder, but whose methods eventually brought about the end of his own career.

Tate Photography: Chris Killip
Tate Publishing
2023
nidottu
Chris Killip (1946–2020) was one of the most influential British photographers of his generation. His boundless curiosity and empathy drew him toward groups and places otherwise overlooked, where he venerated them with his camera. He is best known for his black and white images, particularly in the North East of England in the 1970s and 1980s. This volume focuses on Killip's remarkable Seacoal and Skinningrove series, documenting communities living in the region's declining industrial landscape, and where, in the words he used to describe the Seacoal beach, 'the Middle Ages and the twentieth-century intertwined.' The Tate Photography Series is a celebration of photography by artists in the Tate collection, presenting some of the most significant photographers in the world today. Each book focuses on an individual photographer and includes a specially selected sequence of images and an introduction by a Tate curator, alongside a conversation about each photographer's practice. The unifying theme for Series Two is Ecology and Environment, featuring photographers who examine aspects of our relationship with the natural world, environment and changing climate.

An Analysis of Chris Argyris's Integrating the Individual and the Organization
Stoyan Stoyanov
Macat International Limited
2018
nidottu
A critical analysis of Argyris’s Integrating The Individual and the Organization, which forms part of a series of essays and books considering how organisations should be run. The essay explores the lack of congruence between the needs and expectations of individual employees and the organisations that employ them. The impact of the work depends heavily on reasoning skills. Chris Argyris used strong, well-structured arguments to make his point. His reasoning has strong implications for solving a problem that many organizations experience: disengaged and disloyal employees. Grounding his argument in studies on human nature, Argyris highlighted that demands of greater independence, an expansion of interests, and re-orientation of goals usually accompany maturation, which is at odds with higher control stemming from formal organisations. This frustration, he contends, is detrimental to productivity, increases the chance of failure and causes conflict.

Remember Mississippi: How Chris McDaniel Exposed the GOP Establishment and Inspired a Revolution

The Republican "civil war" is currently raging between the ruling establishment and defiant conservatives. Thus far, the greatest battle of this conflict occurred in Mississippi 2014 in a fight over a US Senate seat between the incumbent establishment stalwart Thad Cochran and young, charismatic conservative Chris McDaniel. This race held far-reaching consequences beyond Mississippi. To maintain their hold on the Senate seat, the GOP establishment shamelessly trashed McDaniel, their party's rising conservative star, with vicious allegations which unwittingly ignited a full-blown rebellion. As a result, there arose a massive conservative grassroots insurgency intent on taking down the ruling Republican Establishment. This insurgency contributed to the nomination of Donald Trump in 2016 and his eventual election to the presidency. This is their story...
