Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We had hoped that fin-de-sicele fiction would come to a natural end when the old century died and the new one was born; or that, if the vein of decadent artificiality was not quite run out, its remaining drops would trickle away through obscure channels not worth a reviewer's looking into. But, alas l here is a new novel by John Oliver Hobbes -- clever and arresting, like everything she writes -- and it is all about a set of frivolous and artificial people, and one poor girl with a heart, whom they force into a revolting marriage, of which the sequel is a course of admirers, two real lovers, and an elopement with most original complications. The milieu Mrs. Craigie chooses to illuminate by her very trenchant remarks recalls the satire of Byron: -- The great world, which being interpreted Meaneth the west or worst end of a city, And about twice two thousand people bred By no means to be very wise or witty, But to sit up while others he in bed And look down on the universe with pity. And though she shows up the folly and the wickedness of this world very uncompromisingly, yet she cannot be absolved from the responsibility of having described its most unworthy ways in a manner calculated to enlist -- on the wrong side -- the sympathy that takes the form of snobbish imitation of vile examples. All the people in the Ragot set are "smart," and use the society jargon. The men wear stays. The women have diamond tiaras, sable cloaks, and heads "done" by hairdressers who are artists. They are also quick-witted and nimble in conversation, and they all talk as if their world -- in spite of its scandals and divorces, as to which they are brutally candid -- were the only world anybody can care to belong to, or to hear about. And, indeed, the only other world the author recognises is that of Socialists and such like cranky people, who hold subversive opinions, have no manners, and dress excruciatingly. Certainly Lord Wroxall is a good fellow, with every intention of playing a loyal friend's part by Rosabel. But he is tricked by her sister, and drawn blindly by his vanity into the ghastly conspiracy that wrecks the poor girl's last chance of a happy and respectable settlement. Jocelyn Luttrell, the serious lover and real Socialist, belongs to the outer world of frumps. But he is a gentleman by birth, and has in the beginning an ample fortune. Even the superfine gentlemen of the Ragot circle recognise his breeding, while condemning his opinions. Rosabel herself is a beautiful and pathetic figure, not without a touch of the heroic in her simple devotion to the best she knows. Granted her surroundings, it is impossible not to condone her final step. But then, why choose such surroundings? Are there not many more than "twice two thousand " people in England who have not bowed the knee to the Baal of fashionable corruption? And are not some of these worth writing of, and writing for? For after all Mrs. Craigie is not one of the novel writers who are reduced by poverty of thought or language to make her chapters sparkle by sprinkling them with titles and diamonds. Her wit and humour, her two-edged phrases and bright epigrams flash and sparkle quite brilliantly enough on every page, and her true insight gives a value to her character-drawing which is absolutely independent of any adventitious distinction in her personages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientists today working on controversial issues from climate change to drought to COVID-19 are finding themselves more often in the middle of deeply traumatizing or polarized conflicts they feel unprepared to referee. It is no longer enough for scientists to communicate a scientific topic clearly. They must now be experts not only in their fields of study, but also in navigating the thoughts, feelings, and opinions of members of the public they engage with, and with each other. And the conversations are growing more fraught. In Getting to the Heart of Science Communication, Faith Kearns has penned a succinct guide for navigating the human relationships critical to the success of practice-based science. This meticulously researched volume takes science communication to the next level, helping scientists to see the value of listening as well as talking, understanding power dynamics in relationships, and addressing the roles of trauma, loss, grief, and healing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ′This book makes an important contribution to the literature on educational leadership and should help to shift the emphasis from rational and accountability-related models to an explicit recognition of the importance of emotions to effective leadership′ - Educational Management Administration and Leadership ′[This book] contains a wealth of case studies and vignettes to help leaders be more aware of the ways in which emotion impacts on their practice, and to develop a productive and sustainable set of emotional responses, experiences and leadership tools′ - Headteacher Update ′This is a highly readable and engaging introduction to both the importance and power of emotions in the life and work of headteachers. While leaders′ emotions have been badly neglected in the literature, the rich body of evidence the author shares with readers indicates how central such emotions are to sustaining improvement efforts in schools.′ - Professor Ken Leithwood, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE), University of Toronto, Canada ′The affective side of leadership is often forgotten as school heads and leaders strive for excellence and accountability. This extremely important book brings to the forefront the emotional attachments of leadership, the interpersonal relationships, and self-awareness that are at the core of leadership action and decision making. The case stories and reviews of multiple perspectives and theories provide the reader with a rich and essential resource′ - Ellen B. Goldring, Professor of Education Policy and Leadership, Vanderbilt University ′...The book is framed to illuminate how headteachers experience, and talk about, emotion and meaning in their daily interactions, and sets out to understand how emotion impacts on their leadership.′ (author′s introduction) Understanding the close relationship between leadership and emotion is essential for school leaders in creating, modifying and sustaining the emotional coherence of the whole school. Megan Crawford aims to help school leaders understand why emotion is such a powerful component of leadership. The author examines how school leaders experience emotion and meaning in their daily interactions, and presents a reflective journey, concentrating on the personal side of school leadership. The author shows how school climate depends on the personal emotional quality of the leader and his/her interface with other social relationships in the school, covering areas such as difficult people and situations, shame, loss and drawing on primary and secondary case studies, school leaders′ reflections and the influence of their life history, school context and emotional epiphanies. This book is for practising educational leaders and managers, tutors and students on Masters courses, EdD courses, and on programmes such as the National Professional Qualification for Headship, its equivalent for Children′s centres, and other national programmes in educational leadership and management
