Book excerpt: `The authors bring a spark of vitality and life to an area that could be cynically viewed as a series of conflicting fads and fashions....I would recommend anyone in the process of reviewing or designing an entrepreneurship development course to consider the benefits that this book would bring to the teaching process′ - Entrepreneurship and Innovation `Using fiction in the classroom as an approach to stimulating the study of people in organizations is well-established. What this book contributes is a way of exploring some of the existential elements of life in organizations, which are typically difficult to study. It will be on my reading lists. Hopefully, this example, and regrettably few others which exist, will contribute in the long term to the reformulation of how the lived experience of organizational life may be explored in the classroom′ - Leadership & Organization Development Journal Based on courses taught by the authors over many years, this innovative text is a lively and accessible analysis of people at work and the problems they have to confront. The student is introduced to a range of key themes in management such as: power and identity; consumption and bureaucracy; rational choice and meaning all through the medium of characters and situations in contemporary literature. The clear theoretical framework, supported by footnotes, summaries and further reading guides, makes this an introduction to management the student will find useful as well as enjoyable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the enchanting realm of Eda, a tale unfolds of friendship, elemental mastery, and the enduring pursuit of harmony. Four friends-Leo, Elyse, Thorne, and Lyra-dream of becoming knights in the divided lands of Ra, Draga, Budo, and the Free Lands. At the pivotal Test of Knights, Leo is left unchosen, while his friends rise through the ranks, becoming 'Hands of the King' in their respective elemental houses. As Leo grapples with rejection, a devastating war erupts due to a false accusation, and he finds himself joining the Keepers of Harmony-a secretive group committed to ending the conflict. In an unexpected twist, Leo must face off against his friends, convincing them to join his cause rather than succumb to the chaos of war. The narrative unfolds over chapters dedicated to Leo's friends rising in power within their elemental houses-Ra, Draga, and Budo-each led by a master of thunder, fire, and water, respectively. The friends reach the pinnacle of their houses, becoming formidable elemental warriors. The story takes a darker turn as a cunning plot ignites a war based on lies. Leo's rejection during the Test of Knights becomes a pivotal moment as he discovers the Keepers of Harmony, a group striving for peace. Leo's friends, now powerful warriors, become unwitting adversaries in the war. The climactic chapters delve into Leo's struggle to navigate the complexities of war, his encounters with the Keepers of Harmony, and his pursuit of redemption for himself and his friends. The narrative reaches its zenith with a war fueled by greed and power, leading to a final battle against an ancient adversary named Ventus, who embodies chaos and shadows. In a twist of fate, Leo extends a hand of redemption to Ventus, setting off an elemental fusion that transforms chaos into harmony. The Keepers of Harmony, united in their elemental forces, emerge victorious, restoring Eda's delicate balance. The epilogue highlights the enduring legacy of the Keepers, their tale inspiring future generations to seek unity, redemption, and mastery over the elemental forces. The story concludes with a realm reborn-a testament to the enduring power of friendship, redemption, and the luminescent orbs that guide the way in Eda."

Book excerpt: USA Today Bestseller An Amazon Best of the Month Selection “Electrically fun...turns the usual fairy-tale class dynamics upside down...this is a book that encourages trust in people’s goodness, if not their patience or good sense. It’s light on the romance, but prodigiously good for the heart.” —The New York Times In New York Times bestselling author G.A. Aiken’s gripping new fantasy romance series, the Blacksmith Queen must confront armies and pretenders desperate to take her new-won crown. But with the Princess Knight at her side and a centaur warrior clan at her back, she’ll risk everything for victory . . . LONG LIVE THE QUEEN Gemma Smythe dedicated her life to the glory of battle. With her fellow War Monks, she worshipped the war gods, rained destruction on her enemies, and raised the dead when the fancy took her. Until her sister Keeley became the prophesied Blacksmith Queen, and Gemma broke faith with her order to journey to the Amichai Mountain and fight by Keeley’s side. The Amichai warriors are an unruly, never-to-be-tamed lot, especially their leader-in-waiting, Quinn. But when the War Monks declare support for Gemma’s ruthless younger sister Beatrix, the immaturity of her key ally is the least of Gemma’s problems. She has to get to the grand masters, dispel their grudge against her, and persuade them to fight for Keeley and justice. If her conviction can’t sway them, perhaps Quinn’s irritating, irreverent, clearly unhinged, ferocity will win the day . . . Praise for The Blacksmith Queen “It may be laugh-out-loud funny, but at its heart this is a story of a woman who cares deeply for both the family she has and the one she creates.” —Bookpage “Tilting more toward fantasy, this paranormal romance will be a hit with fans of both genres who enjoy tales that are lighthearted and humorous.” —Booklist
