Francis Russell arrived in Sydney in 1847 to begin his ministry as a clergyman of the Church of England but after two years as minister at St Mark's, Alexandria (now Darling Point) he was suspended from officiating by the Bishop. After moving to Victoria he was appointed in 1850 to minister in the Wannon area of Western Victoria where he remained until 1874 when he was prevented from continuing by ill-health. His ministry to pastoralists and townsfolk was greatly appreciated by all and his legacy included the construction of a number of church buildings in the emerging towns of the district. After travelling overseas to recover his health he died at sea in 1876 whilst returning to Australia in the hopes of resuming his ministry on the Wannon.
Dancing with Nature offers a logical, innovative merging of twenty-first-century science and spirituality. It explores newly discovered elements of humananimal communications, particularly focusing on whales. Author Peter Beamish shares stories and images of his travels and research, as well as his thoughts on time and spirituality, interspersed with original poetry relevant to the subject. The most exciting aspect of Beamishs adventures has been the involvement of the Great Whales near the shore of the scenic bays of eastern Canada. These adventures have brought about unexpected and rewarding events, always in the Now Time of the wild and necessarily unstressed animals. His story follows a group of humpback whales northward, meeting countless other unstressed animals along the way. These whales may be the most altruistic animals in our biosphere. Learn from the nature of whales and their interactions with humans in Dancing with Nature.

Four years ago we began soliciting articles for this volume from authors who were engaged in comprehensive research on whales. From the outset we decided not to limit the subject matter to behavior but to also include natural history. Much of what is known about the behavior of whales arose from studies whose principal aim was not behavior, much as it did for other animal groups before behavior was considered a distinct discipline. Thus in many of the articles behavior is closely intertwined with natural history and in others is completely overshadowed by a basic natural history approach. Our aim was to have the articles contain a review of the literature and include research findings not pr...

Over the last two decades a major focus of organization theory has been on understanding the dynamic relationships between individuals, organizations and their environments. This interest in dynamics, illustrated by systems, chaos, and complexity theory, is recorded in the works of Ackoff, Senge, and Stacey. This focus offers a new viewpoint on holism for practising leaders and theorists today. Building on this interest, Smith’s original text presents a new philosophical lens for helping leaders see the advantages of a more holistic approach to improving organizations. Specifically he: introduces the AIC (appreciation, influence, control) philosophy, model, and process of purpose-power rel...
