Living Contradiction
Describes how one teacher lost himself in his rigid commitment to uphold standards, and his research to find a better way. Values are in vogue in education: they are stated in school policies across the land. Amidst the reality of classroom life, however, the very best of intentions can be compromised in the name of professionalism and effectiveness. Sean Warren, an experienced and successful teacher, became a living contradiction as the insidious influence of power, responsibility, pressure and stress came to bear. His espoused values were habitually incongruent with his practice, as he adopted a persona infused with control and intolerant of disorder. Then, engaging in a process of reconceptualisation with his mentor Stephen Bigger, grappling with both the philosophical and the pragmatic, he began to explore how he could learn to be authentic - without compromising standards or authority. This book documents his journey through his action research project and investigates the efficacy of his modified approach. In quelling the incessant demands imposed by tension and disruption, he redefined what it meant for him to become a classroom leader: "confident in uncertainty".
Stephen Stills: Change Partners
Stephen Stills is one of the last remaining music legends from the rock era without a biography. During his six-decade career, he has played with all the greats. His career sky-rocketed when Crosby, Stills & Nash played only their second gig together at Woodstock in 1969. With the addition of Neil Young, the band would go on to play the first rock stadium tour in 1974. Stephen Stills is the only person to have been inducted twice in one night into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Jonah's World
The story of Jonah, often read as a simple children's story, is a multifaceted and elaborate narrative with serious intent. Treating the biblical book as a fictitious story based on real locations and recognizable persons, 'Jonah's World' examines the background to the story and draws on social science approaches to describe its imaginative world. The book explores the geography, theology, myth, human characters, natural landscape, and the ideology behind the story to uncover a vision of reality shaped by literary technique. Jonah's World will be invaluable to students and scholars seeking a new approach to the reading of this colourful text.

The Courageous Leader
Tap into everyday courage for extraordinary results The Courageous Leader presents a much-needed reminder for leaders everywhere: it takes courage. Courage is not just about heroic acts in grandiose situations—it's about everyday, solid-as-a-rock support and leadership that motivates, inspires, and delivers. It's about taking a risk on a great idea, and it's about seeing opportunities in the day-to-day. Courageous leaders aren't necessarily the bold "Navy SEALS" of the workplace; they're the everyday people who lead steadily through rough waters. They don't seek out discomfort, but accept it as part of the process when it occurs, and still deliver exceptional results. This book shows you h...
