The Exceptional Manager

The Exceptional Manager

Rick Delbridge; Lynda Gratton; Gerry Johnson

Oxford University Press

Most businesses face the choice of either competing on the 'low road' of cost, or the 'high road' of innovation and value. Much the same goes for national economies and the UK is no exception. But how do businesses - and the people who manage them - go beyond the policy prescription and the easy exhortation to make that shift, to manage change and go well beyond business as usual? This ground-breaking book - the combined insight of some of the best minds in management, grouped together in the Advanced Institute of Management Research - does just that. It presents a clear and crisp analysis of the context and the challenge; and offers managers a range of ideas on how to develop the competences, practices and values that can make a difference. It is essential reading for policy makers, analysts, academics, and managers to be who want to make a different future.

Literature and the Public Good

Literature and the Public Good

Rick Rylance

Oxford University Press
2016
nidottu
The Literary Agenda is a series of short polemical monographs about the importance of literature and of reading in the wider world and about the state of literary education inside schools and universities. The category of 'the literary' has always been contentious. What is clear, however, is how increasingly it is dismissed or is unrecognised as a way of thinking or an arena for thought. It is sceptically challenged from within, for example, by the sometimes rival claims of cultural history, contextualized explanation, or media studies. It is shaken from without by even greater pressures: by economic exigency and the severe social attitudes that can follow from it; by technological change that may leave the traditional forms of serious human communication looking merely antiquated. For just these reasons this is the right time for renewal, to start reinvigorated work into the meaning and value of literary reading. Rick Rylance addresses the debate over the public value of literary studies in a book which starts from the widely-remarked predicament of the humanities in modern times. By comparison with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, the humanities can be negatively characterised as at best optional extras; at worst, frivolous and wasteful. Funders and policy-makers can question their value in terms of utility, vocational prospects and intrinsic worth, while journalists and commentators predict extinction. So what is the justification for literature at the present time? Rylance argues that literature's value lies in its enormous public presence and its contribution to the public good. Far from being apologetic for our investment in literature, he argues for its value to all parts of our society from economic productivity to personal and social wellbeing. He examines discussion of literature's public role over time, taking in key moments of self-reflection such as Sir Philip Sidney's 'Defense of Poesy' (1581) and work by John Mill and Ruskin. He reviews current arguments about how culture creates value: from the idea of 'public goods' in economics to the value of reading for social consciousness in cognitive psychology. The book makes strong claims for the importance and urgency of reading literature today.

Gardening with native plants is perhaps the fastest-growing sector in the North American gardening world. More and more gardeners are discovering the pleasure and benefits of growing native plants, particularly for their dwindling pollinator and bird populations. The Gardener’s Guide to Native Plants of the Southern Great Lakes Region is unique in that it distills all the information essential for growing 150 species of garden-worthy native plants into a single, at-a-glance guide. For each profiled plant, this informative guide tells you: • What conditions the plant needs for soil type, moisture and light; How big the plant will get, when the plant will be in bloom and what color the flowers will be; How to propagate the plant; Which pests a plant may be susceptible to; Which USDA Plant Hardiness Zones it grows in; The Species At Risk status of the plant in Ontario, Indiana, Michigan, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania; What the wildlife value of the plant is, including whether it is a host for butterfly and moth caterpillars. A detailed description of the plant along with photos of the flower, leaf and seed head or berry help you to easily identify each plant and, unique to this book, a detailed map of the native range of the plant within the southern Great Lakes region — including Ontario, Indiana, Michigan, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania — helps to ensure success in the garden. A thorough introductory section covering subjects like shade requirement, naming conventions, plant hardiness zones and more, as well as a common name index and handy tables for quick reference, round out this comprehensive volume. Perfect for both armchair reading and trips to the nursery, The Gardener’s Guide to Native Plants of the Southern Great Lakes Region will be your go-to reference on North American native plants.

From Victoria Day to Labour Day, for seventy-nine years Gary Cole has lived at and wandered the sands of Bowmanville's West Beach. During that time he has garnered an immense amount of knowledge about that magical place. In this book, Gary shares this knowledge in a very informative and entertaining way.As a toddler in 1942, Gary took his first tentative steps on the front porch of his parents' cottage and during research for this book, Gary once said to me: "I may not have been born on West Beach Rick, but I'm pretty sure I was conceived here."Perhaps no similar small vacation area in this province has the unique character of Bowmanville's West Beach. Growing up there was like growing up in a small Ontario village, with the cottages being the backbone of that village. For over one hundred and twenty years West Beach has been a place where everybody knew your name. It is truly a place like no other - a unique part of Bowmanville's history.

The Rebirth of Suspense

The Rebirth of Suspense

Columbia University Press

Longlist, 2025 Moving Image Book Award, Kraszna-Krausz FoundationTypically, films are suspenseful when they keep us on the edge of our seats, when glimpses of a turning doorknob, a ticking clock, or a looming silhouette quicken our pulses. Exemplified by Alfred Hitchcock’s masterworks and the countless thrillers they influenced, such films captivate viewers with propulsive plots that spur emotional investment in the fates of protagonists. Suspense might therefore seem to be a curious concept to associate with art films featuring muted characters, serene landscapes, and unrushed rhythms, in which plot is secondary to mood and tone.This ambitious and wide-ranging book offers a redefinition of suspense by considering its unlikely incarnations in the contemporary films that have been called “slow cinema.” Rick Warner shows how slowness builds suspense through atmospheric immersion, narrative sparseness, and the withholding of information, causing viewers to oscillate among boredom, curiosity, and dread. He focuses on works in which suspense arises where the boundaries between art cinema and popular genres—such as horror, thriller, science fiction, and gothic melodrama—become indefinite, including Chantal Akerman’s La captive, Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s Memoria, Jonathan Glazer’s Under the Skin, Kelly Reichardt’s Night Moves, Lucrecia Martel’s Zama, Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s Creepy, and David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: The Return. Warner investigates the pivotal role of sound in generating suspense and traces how the experience of suspense has changed in the era of digital streaming. The Rebirth of Suspense develops a fresh theory, history, typology, and analysis of suspense that casts new light on the workings of films across global cinema.
