Legends of the Middle Ages Narrated With Special Reference to Literature and Art

By: Helene Adeline Guerber

The most ancient relic of literature of the spoken languages of modern Europe is undoubtedly the epic poem "Beowulf," which is supposed to have been composed by the Anglo-Saxons previous to their invasion of England. Although the poem probably belongs to the fifth century, the only existing manuscript is said to date from the ninth or tenth century. This curious work, in rude alliterative verse (for rhyme was introduced in England only after the Norman Conquest), is the most valuable old English manuscript in the British Museum. Although much damaged by fire, it has been carefully studied by learned men. They have patiently restored the poem, the story of which is as follows: Hrothgar (the modern Roger), King of Denmark, was a descendant of Odin, being the third monarch of the celebrated dynasty of the Skioldungs. They proudly traced their ancestry to Skeaf, or Skiold, Odin's son, who mysteriously drifted to their shores. He was then but an infant, and lay in the middle of a boat, on a sheaf of ripe wheat, surrounded by priceless weapons and jewels. As the people were seeking for a ruler, they immediately recognized the hand of Odin in this mysterious advent, proclaimed the child king, and obeyed him loyally as long as he lived. When he felt death draw near, Skeaf, or Skiold, ordered a vessel to be prepared, lay down in the midst on a sheaf of grain or on a funeral pyre, and drifted out into the wide ocean, disappearing as mysteriously as he had come. Such being his lineage, it is no wonder that Hrothgar became a mighty chief; and as he had amassed much wealth in the course of a long life of warfare, he resolved to devote part of it to the construction of a magnificent hall, called Heorot, where he might feast his retainers and listen to the heroic lays of the scalds during the long winter evenings.

Using Client Feedback in Executive Coaching Improving Reflective Practice

By: Helene Seiler

More and more coaches are becoming credentialed and regularly engage in training and supervision to gain feedback and learn from their peers. Coaches (and the organisations that hire them) recognise the value of continuous professional development and reflective practice to give them a competitive edge. Yet very few leverage their own clients as a source of information in their professional development, despite the fact that clients spend more time observing and experiencing them in practice than all other observers combined. This book will help you make the most of this untapped resource. Applicable to executive coaches worldwide, as well as their educators and supervisors, this book will: •Highlight effective executive coaching behaviours in relation to two major outcomes of coaching: the strength of the coach-client relationship and the generation of new insights for the client •Present a structured process to educate your clients about the benefits of soliciting their feedback •Offer a protocol to seamlessly ask for client feedback during a coaching session •Demonstrate how to use client feedback to inform reflective practice, whether alone or in educational or supervision settings With a deep evidence-base from the author’s research in 25 countries, involving over 130 clients of executive coaching, this is compelling and pragmatic reading to support the use of client feedback in practice. “Engaging with this book will prove to be developmental.” —Tatiana Bachkirova, Professor of Coaching Psychology and Co-Director of the International Centre for Coaching and Mentoring Studies at Oxford Brookes University, UK “A must-have book if one wants to succeed in the highly competitive environment of executive coaching.” —Wai K, ICF Master Certified Coach and Managing Partner, JMC Coach Mastery Academy, Malaysia “A welcome insight on how the coach’s feedback can be used in a structured manner.” —Carola Hieker, Co-Founder and Managing Director of HIL Coaching and Honorary Professor of Transformation Leadership at University College London, UK “A novel and invaluable contribution to the executive coaching literature." —Alan Sieler, Director, Newfield Institute and Ontological Coaching Institute, Australia “Fresh and well-researched.” —Teresa J Pool, ACTP Director, UT Dallas Executive Coaching Certificate Program, USA Hélène Seiler is an international executive coaching practitioner, supervisor and educator with over 30 years of experience in leadership development and talent management.

Diseases of the Nervous System in Childhood

By: Jean Aicardi,Martin Bax,Christopher Gillberg,Helene Ogier

This book offers a comprehensive description of the neurological disorders of children. It covers all clinical aspects of child neurology and, as far as possible, all significant diseases of the central & peripheral nervous systems from the fetal period to adolescence. Although emphasis is on the common diseases, enough data are included on unusual & rare disorders to provide the reader with all the essential information about these illnesses and, by providing extensive references & suggestions for further reading, can guide the reader to the necessary further sources of information. There are separate chapters on neonatal neurology & fetal neurology as these represent a specific field within child neurology as a whole. Special chapters are devoted to disorders of the visual & auditory systems, & some aspects of the involvement of the central nervous system in systemic disease are discussed. Finally, there are several chapters that discuss mental development & some of the major psychiatric disorders.
