So here you have it - the story of Doc Williams, recorded by one of his sons and two of his grandchildren. Our aunts, uncles, and cousins have other memories. This is not a polished biography, but we think it tells some true things. Doc emerges as a polymath - a man who could fix just about anything, welcomed new technology, hustled, adapted, loved dogs, and drove fast cars and speed boats. He married three times, kept a beautiful garden, played music, worshipped on Sunday, enjoyed the company of others, and dropped everything to answer a call for help. He was a man who gave much to his beloved community, Cannon Falls, Minnesota.

Harriet Ogilvy is a young woman with a small fortune and a mental disability, making her the ideal target for the handsome and scheming Lewis Oman. After winning Harriet's love, Lewis, with the help of his brother and mistress, sets in motion a plan of unspeakable cruelty and evil to get his hands on her money. With consummate artistry, Elizabeth Jenkins transforms the bare facts of this case from the annals of Victorian England's Old Bailey into an absolutely spine-chilling exploration of the depths of human depravity. Based on the real-life 1877 case of Harriet Staunton, Harriet (1934) was a bestseller and a major critical success, beating Evelyn Waugh's A Handful of Dust to win the Prix Femina. This edition features a new afterword by Dr. Catherine Pope. "Like a cold hand clutching at the heart." - Observer "It is superb. Every word grips." - Manchester Evening News "So exciting that I could hardly read it." - James Agate, Daily Express "Everything she writes spells for me an enchantment that makes sober criticism next to impossible."

Motivational Interviewing for Leadership: Mi-Lead

Leadership can be complex, difficult, demanding, and stressful. It is not surprising that there are so many books, programs, trainings, consultants, and coaches that exist to help leaders develop leadership and management skills. Leaders play an important role in employee satisfaction and ultimately the success or failure of an organization. Communication is at the heart of all leadership skills, and it is frequently an area of focus by consultants and trainers. As Kotter, a New York Times bestselling author and retired Harvard Business School professor, explained, "What leaders really do is prepare organizations for change and help them cope as they struggle through it." Our book, Motivational Interviewing for Leadership: MI-LEAD, provides a roadmap for leaders to become Transformational Leaders. It provides concrete, person-focused tools that help to address ambivalence and engagement both on an individual level and at a group level. These tools are an effective approach to developing skills as a transformational leader, one who can communicate well, enhance engagement, respond effectively to ambivalence and discord, and lead through change.

Effective leadership can be challenging, especially when addressing problematic behaviors with team members. Leaders often struggle with the following questions: How do I manage difficult team member behaviors? Where does taking disciplinary action fit in? When should I just fire my employee? Through many rewarding discussions with leaders, we have had the opportunity to really challenge the notion of "difficult team members". MI-Lead: A Leader's Guide for Difficult Conversations serves as a supplement to book one on MI-Lead, Motivational Interviewing for Leadership: MI-Lead, and focuses specifically on addressing problematic team member behavior. While we provided some general ideas and strategies for addressing problem behaviors in book one, this supplemental guide builds upon the foundational strategies outlined in book one and includes a specific 4-step MI-Lead method for approaching difficult conversations with members of our teams. This guide also provides examples of common scenarios with ideas for effectively addressing the problematic team member behaviors while maintaining a spirit of partnership, acceptance, compassion, and evocation.

An Analysis of Elizabeth F. Loftus's Eyewitness Testimony

Understanding evidence is critical in a court of law – and it is just as important for critical thinking. Elizabeth Loftus, a pioneering psychologist, made a landmark contribution to both these areas in Eyewitness Testimony, a trail-blazing work that undermines much of the decision-making made by judges and juries by pointing out how flawed eyewitness testimony actually is. Reporting the results of an eye-opening series of experiments and trials, Loftus explores the ways in which – unbeknownst to the witnesses themselves – memory can be distorted and become highly unreliable. Much of Loftus’s work is based on expert use of the critical thinking skill of interpretation. Her work not only highlights multiple problems of definition with regard to courtroom testimony, but also focuses throughout on how best we can understand the meaning of the available evidence. Eyewitness Testimony is arguably the best place in the Macat library to begin any investigation of how to use and understand interpretation.
