Old School Ties

Book Two of the Chicagoland Detective Series

By: Lloyd Frankland

Tyler Brykman returns home form a business trip to find the mutilated bodies of his wife and two children. Morgan Strongbow and Sara Rydell are assigned to the case even though Sara may not be fully recovered from the life-threatening wound she received solving their previous case. Brykman immediately becomes their primary suspect until he tells them he was in Europe. As soon as Strongbow and Sara corroborate Brykman's alibi, they turn their attention to his partner, a manipulative bully named Ronald Mazarovic. When Mazarovic's wife and children meet the same fate as Tyler Brykman's, the police are certain they have their man. The problem is, Mazarovic also has an alibi for the times when both homicides took place. Could the two attorneys have plotted the murders together and acted as each other's alibis? Or might someone be trying to take revenge on Brykman and Mazarovic for an series of events that took place decades earlier when the two were in grammar school. Betrayal. Bullies. Manipulation. Rape. Revenge. Old School Ties has all of the mind bending plot twists that readers of Veiled Threats, the first installment of Lloyd Frankland's Chicagoland Detective Series, have come to expect.

The Carnivorous Plants

The Carnivorous Plants

By: Francis Ernest Lloyd

The experience which has led to the writing of this book began in 1929 when, examining a species related to Utricularia gibba, I made an observation of some importance in understanding the mechanism of the trap. This begot a desire to study as many other species of the genus as I could obtain for comparison, primarily to determine the validity of my conclusions. My feeling that research in this field was promising was strengthened by the discovery that the pertinent literature was singularly barren of the information most needed, that is to say, precise accounts of the structure of the entrance mechanisms of the traps. And an examination of much herbarium material, because of the meagreness of the underground parts of the terrestrial types resulting from indifferent methods of collection, forced the conclusion that, even had other difficulties inherent in studying dried material not intervened, it would be necessary to obtain adequately preserved specimens. This meant a wide correspondence and, if possible, extensive travel. The uncertainty of achieving the latter made the former imperative.

Staff Management in Library and Information Work

By: Peter Jordan,Caroline Lloyd

This standard text has been fully revised and updated for its fourth edition to reflect continuing technological changes, as well as issues such as social inclusion, lifelong learning and European employment legislation. Chapter 1 on the working environment has been completely rewritten. The present environment brings problems of staff motivation, de-professionalization and the loss of control: Chapter 2 reminds readers of basic motivation theories, now presented in a more logical sequence, and how to deal with such problems. Chapter 3 on workforce planning has been retitled Human Resource Planning and revised to take into account the modes of staffing appropriate for today's turbulent environment. Effective human resource planning requires excellent selection and recruitment procedures: best practice and developments in this area are explored in Chapters 4, Job Descriptions and Person Specifications, and 5, Recruitment and Selection of Staff. In Chapter 6 on staff appraisal more attention has been given to multi-rating approaches, such as 360° whereby different aspects of work can be assessed by different groups of people, and to appraisal of junior by senior staff. The last decade has seen increased emphasis on training and development to deliver high quality services in a climate of constant change. Chapter 7 has therefore been reordered and expanded in order to reflect new approaches and changes in this area. In Chapter 8, Staff Supervision and Interpersonal Skills, recent emphasis on leadership and counselling skills are reflected, as is the growing need to do more with less through enhanced time management and stress management techniques. With this new edition, this core guide brings professionals involved in managing library and information staff up to date with how to cope with the most pressing problems and challenges in today's fast-changing environment.

Saving the Reef

The human story behind one of Australia’s greatest environmental treasures

By: Rohan Lloyd

While in the past Australians wrestled with what the Reef is, today they are struggling to reconcile what it will be ... To do this, we need to understand the Reef' s intertwining human story. The Great Barrier Reef has come to dominate Australian imaginations and global environmental politics. Saving the Reef charts the social history of Australia' s most prized yet vulnerable environment, from the relationship between First Nations peoples and colonial settlers, to the Reef' s most portentous moment &– the Save the Reef campaign launched in the 1960s. Through this gripping narrative and interwoven contemporary essays, historian Rohan Lloyd reveals how the Reef' s continued decline is forcing us to reconsider what &‘ saving' the Reef really means.
