The Courage Way Leading and Living with Integrity Leadership can be exhausting, lonely, frustrating, disappointing, and downright discouraging. You have to make good decisions while balancing inevitable tensions and knowing when to take risks. You need to keep your values in sight regardless of the pressures around you and stay calm in the storms that arise. At its core, leadership is a daily, ongoing practice, a journey toward becoming your best self and inviting others to do the same. And at the heart of this daily practice is courage. And that's where The Courage Way comes in. It's a guide to leadership that names and explores this important resource and shows leaders how to access and draw upon courage in all that they do. It has its roots in the work of Parker J. Palmer, who in fifty years of teaching, speaking, and writing has explored the human spirit—what he has called “the inner landscape”—and its role in life and leadership. Shelly Francis identifies key ingredients needed to cultivate courage, the most fundamental being trust—in ourselves and in each other. She describes the Center for Courage & Renewal's Circle of Trust approach, centered around eleven “touchstones,” poetic and practical operating guidelines for holding the meaningful conversations of inner work and trust building. Each chapter features true stories of how leaders in all kinds of settings have overcome challenges and strengthened their organizations through touchstones like “Extend invitation, not demand,” “No fixing, saving, advising, or correcting,” and “When the going gets rough, turn to wonder.” This graceful and inspiring book is a guide to courageous leadership and a journey of self-discovery—the two are inextricable. As Francis writes, “Courage is not only in you—it is you. In your moments of courage, that's when you meet your true self.”

This book addresses the persistence of meat consumption and the use of animals as food in spite of significant challenges to their environmental and ethical legitimacy. Drawing on Foucault’s regime of power/knowledge/pleasure, and theorizations of the gaze, it identifies what contributes to the persistent edibility of ‘food’ animals even, and particularly, as this edibility is increasingly critiqued. Beginning with the question of how animals, and their bodies, are variously mapped by humans according to their use value, it gradually unpacks the roots of our domination of ‘food’ animals – a domination distinguished by the literal embodiment of the ‘other’. The logics of this embodied domination are approached in three inter-related parts that explore, respectively, how knowledge, sensory and emotional associations, and visibility work together to render animal’s bodies as edible flesh. The book concludes by exploring how to more effectively challenge the ‘entitled gaze’ that maintains ‘food’ animals as persistently edible.

The first seven Lady Adelaide stories in one volume. As Europe draws toward war, an extraordinary woman steps into the arena. In Edwardian England, Lady Adelaide Azalea Margaret de Morville, Mrs. Hugh Becket, lately of the Cape Colony, was born the daughter of an Earl, but is now the widow of a commoner. She straddles two worlds, speaks fluent German, and can ride, hunt and shoot. Her talents draws the eye of spymaster William Melville, who recruits her to help him fight a shadow game with German agents both at home and aboard, as Europe heads toward an inevitable conflict… The first seven novelettes of the Adelaide Becket Edwardian espionage series in one set: 1.0: The Requisite Courage 2.0: The Rosewater Debutante 3.0: The Unaccompanied Widow 4.0: The Lavender Semaphore 5.0: The Broadcloth Midnight 6.0: The Salinghall Error 7.0: The Indecent Agent A historical suspense espionage omnibus. ___ Praise for Adelaide Becket’s Adventures: I’d say what is most striking about these stories is the almost haunting sense of place and time, skillfully woven and engaging all of the senses for a most enjoyable and immersive reading experience. Yayyyy!!!! Lots Of Lady Adelaide At Once! From beginning to end this set captivates, entertains, is emotional, and just plain great writing. Don’t miss it. Adele is amazing, strong, female, smart, and simply incredible. Lady Adele is cheeky, daring, courageous and a character worthy of following in this delightful series. I absolutely loved the intelligent and complex character layers revealed by Adele as she experiences each new encounter in her life as a spy. Love this compilation! She explains the sights, sounds and smells in a way that makes you feel like you are there. Each story is a refined historical version of a swift and exciting spy thriller which left me feeling like I'd been caught up in the middle of a suspense mystery novel with only the best bits to read! Definitely a series to be read in order, from the start, to appreciate how much Adele has changed and grown into her role as well as the introductions to the characters around her. And, by the way, the titles are fascinating. To understand why, you have to read the books! It’s a delightful series, and worth the read. One of the most impressive aspects of this series of novelettes is the seemingly effortless way the author establishes not only the aura of the Edwardian era, but also the social mores and attitudes of that time: “Now, daytime hems were an inch or two higher, showing off ones’ boots and — among the most daring of ladies — an inch of ankle, too.” ____ Tracy Cooper-Posey is a #1 Best Selling Author.
