Tissue of Lies
Julie Simpson has the perfect life; a loving husband, beautiful twin daughters, and the kind of loving parents others can only dream about. Yet, it's true; she's always had a niggling suspicion that her mum and dad might not be her real parents. To her amazement and horror, Julie discovers her fears are well-founded. They are not her birth parents. Even worse, they may have played a part in her abduction when she was just a baby. Julie longs for the truth, but she's reluctant to start anything which might result in her mum and dad being prosecuted for her abduction. Despite what they may have done, she can't help remembering her wonderfully happy childhood. She still loves them, and wants to protect them but, ultimately, the overpowering need to know her roots wins. Secretly, she searches for her real parents, all the time worrying her girls might let something slip in front of her mum and dad. Meeting her real parents could mean she'll learn the truth, at last. Alternatively, digging in her particular past could bring unexpected danger, even a real threat of harm. Will she discover this before it's too late?

Incorporating Sustainability in Management Education
Responding to the pressing need of business schools to incorporate sustainability thinking into their curricula, this new book offers fresh thinking on how to achieve this in practical terms. Structured on a typical MBA programme, each chapter explores how sustainability thinking can be integrated into existing subject areas. Rather than being prescriptive, the chapters provide opportunities to reflect on successes as well as challenges associated with embedding sustainability into MBA courses. Contributors explore the employability implications of sustainability and how these are reflected in course designs, pedagogy and assessments. Filling an important gap in current literature, Incorporating Sustainability in Management Education provides important support to Higher Education Institutes who must quickly adapt to this desired change in business school curricula.
