This second collection of short stories by Geraldine M. North examines contemporary life primarily in the United States, where Geraldine has lived for decades and has raised her family. But a handful of the nineteen stories in The Empty Bird Cage return to her native Australia, where Geraldine lived as a girl and young adult. This collection follows Geraldine's first book of short stories, Butcher Bird, published in 2016.According to W.D. Wetherell, author of Where We Live Geraldine North's love for the short story, her belief in the form and what it can reveal to us of life, underlies every word of her marvelous new collection. By seeing her characters so clearly, with such empathy and understanding, she makes each of them matter to us. Read these stories carefully, patiently, trustingly, for they have much to teach us."
After Failles Ordinaires (2012) which revealed Géraldine Lay’s keen eye and original talent, the photographer here continues her urban explorations of humanity in Great Britain. Faithful to her precise, detailed method and ever attentive to the potential for surprise and chance in any setting, Géraldine Lay mentally apprehends her territories before photographing them. She senses the light and atmosphere, immersing herself in a setting rather than reconnoitring, an approach that brings intimacy to the heart of anonymity. Some critics have rightly highlighted the cinematographic dimension of the artist’s work but such an interpretation overlooks the essentially photographic nature of her pursuit and, in each of her ‘photograms’, her exacting work reminds us how photography was invented before cinema, and had a special ability to capture and hold the delicately ephemeral. In doing so, she creates a new aesthetic unique to the photographic craft, an aesthetic that imbues all of her work. As we traverse suburban streets and squares, lives are captured in the mystery of their daily existence. As the Irish writer, Robert McLiam Wilson writes, ‘People walk and wait. They talk, drink coffee. They cross streets. They work. They move about. Citizens busy with citizen things. Like all citizens everywhere, they are multiple, varied, various. Men, women, children. They are also British. Incredibly British. They couldn’t come from anywhere else.’ In an age of exponential standardized universality, Géraldine Lay’s photography reaffirms both the permanence of unusual individualities and the resistance of collective identities.

Focusing on practical assessment and intervention strategies, Geraldine Humphrey and David Zimpfer guide readers through the essential theory and skills needed to work with clients in a way which sensitively facilitates the process of grief, initiates healing and promotes a sense of growth. Setting out the broad principles for practice, the authors go on to show how these can be applied in working with individuals, families and groups and in relation to specific issues including chronic and life-threatening illnesses, palliative care and complicated grief. Carefully chosen case examples illustrate the counselling process, while specific attention is paid throughout to ethical considerations and the possible need for referral. This fully revised and updated Second Edition features a new chapter on working with children and adolescents: both from the perspective of young people who are grieving losses and those who are receiving palliative care as patients. While focusing on the practical, the book provides a firm theoretical base by explaining key concepts such as attachment, grief and resilience. Geraldine M. Humphrey is Counsellor in the Department of Psychology at the North Canton Medical Foundation, specializing in death, illnesses, and non-death and grief. David G. Zimpfer is former Director of the Cancer Center of Ohio.

On the Path to Authentic Leadership: The OPAL Way to Leadership Success

More and more women are stepping into leadership positions.This is good news - we need both masculine and feminine energies to transform organisations. Yet it seems that women's performance is evaluated differently to men's; and women's potential is evaluated differently to men's. And the world of work still takes precious little account of the many roles women are living, only one of which is paid. On top of that, for many women there is an issue of "fit" when working in a masculine culture and maybe a male environment. How can women develop their unique leadership style which best reflects their natural gender perspective while maintaining their credibility? This book will help women - will help you -to access your feminine strengths and your authentic power and bring both of these forward into your leadership roles. It's packed full of content to help you to remain connected and solid with your own truths, even if they seem not to be valued within the larger environment. It will help you express your perspective, however different, in such a way that reduces defensiveness and potential conflict, which in turn will help you to establish an authentic presence. You will become the woman leader you are meant to be; the woman leader our organisations need and the woman leader the world needs.
