Be More Wrong
In Be More Wrong, noted leadership coach Colin Hunter shows you why, in the age of disruption, it’s never been more important to fail early, fail often, and fail forward.
Colin Hunter and the Holland Park Set
Published 150 years following Hunter's first success at the Royal Academy. Colin Hunter (1841-1904) was a hugely successful Scottish Victorian artist who exhibited nearly one hundred works in the Royal Academy over thirty-five years. He lived at 14 Melbury Road, Kensington, in the heart of the Holland Park Circle of famous artists, including Lord Leighton, G F Watts and Sir Luke Fildes among others, most of whom were both Hunter's friends and neighbours. Born in Glasgow, and then growing up in Helensburgh, Hunter honed his craft painting landscapes in natural settings on the west coast and islands of Scotland and is best known for his seascapes. Painting largely with oil and occasionally watercolours, he was also an accomplished etcher. In the hundred or so years since Hunter's death he has - undeservedly - gradually faded into relative obscurity. This book is not just a biography of the artist, it is also the most comprehensive catalogue of his works to date.
Sustainable Cities
Sustainable Cities simultaneously tackles two issues of immediate public concern which also find themselves high on the policy agenda: sustainable environmental development and urban development. The themes of the book - the bringing together of the insights of environmental science, the social sciences and management; the combination of problem analysis with practical application; and a critique of urban environmental problems concentrating on air and water pollution - are illustrated throughout with in-depth material and case studies taken from around the world and are approached from a variety of perspectives: economic, ecological and managerial. Each chapter has a concluding section pointing to key concepts, key reading and a range of discussion points.

Tourism and the Environment
"This volume provides a research-based overview of the relationship between tourism development and environmental quality. The concept of sustainable tourism is examined as a prelude to a detailed treatment of the principles and implications of sustainable tourism development. The authors look at policy directions, with new forms of alternative tourism analysed in this context. The volume then proceeds to consider the potential of land use planning and Environmental Impact Assessment systems as instruments in the translation of sustainable tourism development into practice." "Conventional forms of interpretation are questioned and the efficacy and transferability of different systems are evaluated. Examples from around the world are used to illustrate the principles discussed. This volume will appeal to students and researchers in tourism as well as to professionals in the tourism industry."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Lionheart
Investigative journalist Sean Bryant is hot on the trail of the Knights Tempest, an underground, neo-Nazi organization making preparations for its own final solution to society’s undesirables – any minority without the power to fight back. Hotter still is the unexpected involvement of six well-respected public figures, but before he can expose them, he and his story are stolen away into the night. As violence rages throughout Europe – bombings and shootings at the hands of the Knights Tempest – the true scope of their vision for domination unfolds, led by the eponymous Lionheart, whose controversial identity remains a mystery. A Special Forces team may be the only thing capable of matching the fundamentalist right-wingers with a suitable demise. The fact that the team comprises a black man, a gay man and a woman is an irony that cannot go unnoticed. With danger attacking from all sides, it’s not a great time to be an investigative journalist.
Tales of Faerie
Seventeen-year-old Kylie's life is turned upside down when she discovers that not only do faeries exist, but she is half faerie, and not only is she half faerie, but she is also the granddaughter of the great faerie, Queen Azarya, and being the last living relative of the queen, she is also the only person who can destroy the dark powers of the evil faerie lord, Sadasun. Along with her uncle, Sir Liam, and her four best friends, Hunter, Leah, Colin, and Jared, she sets out on a perilous journey to do just that, submitting to the will of the Just Creator and accepting this task which he has given her. Suddenly, in a world she never knew existed, she and her friends are forced to battle creatures that should only exist in a person's worst nightmares, doing whatever is necessary to fulfill this task given her. Along the way, they learn the importance of having faith in the Just Creator and trusting him in all situations, especially when all things seem hopeless.
