A Very Short Fairly Interesting and Reasonably Cheap Book About Studying Leadership

By: Brad Jackson,Ken Parry

The Second Edition of Studying Leadership guides the reader through the cacophony of competing perspectives and models of leadership; now updated with expanded discussion of hot topics like followership, gender, ethics, authenticity and leadership and the arts, set against the backdrop of the global financial crisis. Conceived by Chris Grey as an antidote to conventional textbooks, each book in the ‘Very Short, Fairly Interesting and Reasonably Cheap’ series takes a core area of the curriculum and turns it on its head by providing a critical and sophisticated overview of the key issues and debates in an informal, conversational and often humorous way. Suitable for students, researchers and practitioners studying leadership across all disciplines.

The Class

A Memoir of a Place, a Time, and Us

By: Ken Dryden

A national bestseller, The Class is a riveting and personal book from Ken Dryden. On Tuesday, September 6, 1960, the day after Labour Day, class 9G at Etobicoke Collegiate Institute in a suburb of Toronto assembled for the first time. Its thirty-five students, having written special exams, came to be known as the “Selected Class.” They would stay together through high school, with few exceptions. They would spend more than two hundred days a year together. Few had known each other before. Few have been in other than accidental contact in all the decades since. Their ancestors were almost all from working-class backgrounds. Their parents had lived their formative years through depression and war. They themselves were born into a postwar world of new homes, new schools, new churches. New suburbs. Of new classes like this one. Of boundless possibilities. When almost anything seems within reach, what do we reach for? Ken Dryden was one of these thirty-five. In his varied, improbable life, he had wondered often how he had gotten from there to here. How any of us do. He decided to try and find his classmates, to see how they are, what they are doing, how life has been for them. They talked many long hours, in a way they had never talked before. Most had married, some divorced, most have kids, many have grandkids. This is the story of a place, a time, and so much more.

Lilith

A Biography

By: Ken Gunther

[Lilith: a biography] is a gorgeous, if brutally tragic, love story, set against a backdrop of a fast-collapsing planetary wilderness. The book's action pits ecoactivism/ecology against the power structures of a ruthless corpolitical establishment, and it does so with a cinematic sense of drama ranging from the comic/ironic to the heart-wrenching."...One of those books for which the word novel was invented... a sure bet to become the "Romeo and Juliet" of environmentalists everywhere, if not, by virtue of its philosophic clout, their bible." ---Shaelyn Chaminade"Such a myth-buster book as this can ultimately lead to only two outcomes: the end of civil hypocrisy or its deeper entrenchment. In the meantime I suggest, all daring and creative readers enjoy gunther's expose, if only to rubberneck as pants drop and dresses fly up from civilization's underbelly. You will regret it in the morning but so what? It's an emotional feast and intellectual orgy no daring or creative reader will want to miss." ---Amanda Rolf
