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.

From Lawyer to Law Firm: How to Manage a Successful Law Business

The grandson of slaves, born into poverty in 1892 in the Deep South, A. G. Gaston died more than a century later with a fortune worth well over $130 million and a business empire spanning communications, real estate, and insurance. Gaston was, by any measure, a heroic figure whose wealth and influence bore comparison to J. P. Morgan and Andrew Carnegie. Here, for the first time, is the story of the life of this extraordinary pioneer, told by his niece and grandniece, the award-winning television journalist Carol Jenkins and her daughter Elizabeth Gardner Hines. Born at a time when the bitter legacy of slavery and Reconstruction still poisoned the lives of black Americans, Gaston was determined to make a difference for himself and his people. His first job, after serving in the celebrated all-black regiment during World War I, bound him to the near-slavery of an Alabama coal mine--but even here Gaston saw not only hope but opportunity. He launched a business selling lunches to fellow miners, soon established a rudimentary bank--and from then on there was no stopping him. A kind of black Horatio Alger, Gaston let a single, powerful question be his guide: What do our people need now? His success flowed from an uncanny genius for knowing the answer. Combining rich family lore with a deep knowledge of American social and economic history, Carol Jenkins and Elizabeth Hines unfold Gaston's success story against the backdrop of a century of crushing racial hatred and bigotry. Gaston not only survived the hardships of being black during the Depression, he flourished, and by the 1950s he was ruling a Birmingham-based business empire. When the movement for civil rights swept through the South in the late 1950s and early 1960s, Gaston provided critical financial support to many activists. At the time of his death in 1996, A. G. Gaston was one of the wealthiest black men in America, if not the wealthiest. But his legacy extended far beyond the monetary. He was a man who had proved it was possible to overcome staggering odds and make a place for himself as a leader, a captain of industry, and a far-sighted philanthropist. Writing with grace and power, Jenkins and Hines bring their distinguished ancestor fully to life in the pages of this book. Black Titan is the story of a man who created his own future--and in the process, blazed a future for all black businesspeople in America.
