Through a career spanning more than seven decades, Morse played more than 3,000 parts on stage, radio, and in film and television (The Fugitive, Space: 1999), including all the plays of William Shakespeare and Bernard Shaw. "Valiant for Truth" pays tribute to Barry Morse's lifelong dedication to Bernard Shaw. Alternately dramatic and humorous, this fascinating book provides a thorough account of Morse's life and career as a Shavian, including his time as Artistic Director of the Shaw Festival and President of the Shaw Society of England. "Valiant for Truth is an enjoyable and extremely well written appreciation of my father's work and thoughts. It is a loving but honest "warts and all" account that manages to be both accurate and interesting... even people who have only the vaguest awareness of my father's career will find it entertaining" - actor Hayward Morse

This book argues that China’s businesses, and hence China’s future economic development, face a huge crisis in that there is a considerable "leadership gap" in China, with a shortage of competent business leaders, at a time when new leadership skills are required urgently, as China’s businesses evolve rapidly and engage ever more with the global economy. Moreover, the book argues, training is an undervalued and often marginalised activity in Chinese companies. The book outlines the nature of this problem, and goes on to demonstrate that there is a new breed of manager emerging in China, aware of the need to upgrade management skills, moving away from skills appropriate in traditional industrial firms, and emphasising more flexibility, positive engagement with workers, and competence in the market economy. The book includes an evaluation of different management approaches in China, reports on extensive original research, including interviews with practising managers, and sets out how self-development in widespread, deep and important.

HR managers will find this enlightening and instructive book enormously useful in their day-to-day functions. "For what is principally billed as a guide, the authors have provided a comprehensive and up to date collection of recruitment and selection practices with some valuable critiques of some of the more mysterious processes in use." Richard Donkin, Financial Times "Overall, it was refreshing to read a book that comes down firmly on their (competencies) side it forces you to take a fresh look at your current practices and to question how they are used."

Catharsis: A Poetic Purge by Robert Wood Catharsis: A Poetic Purge is just that: a cathartic purging of emotions through poetry. The poems themselves utilize unique and creative methods to convey their meaning, such as stream of consciousness or internal conversations between the author and his inner voice, while utilizing both free form and rhyming meter. The meaning of the poems cover a wide array of topics from the author’s life, including alienation, depression, rage, grief, loss – and yes, even joy. The poems explore these themes out of necessity, as the author has lived a life marred by mental illness, substance abuse and pain. Hopefully this cathartic expression offers similar relief to others who experience the same.
