The Responsible Leader
Responsibility as a leader is the ability to respond quickly to a complex and changing business environment. It means using values to make decisions that not only affect brand trust and corporate reputation, but impact upon employees and the wider community. In today's increasingly interconnected world, it is more important than ever that managers can achieve goals and desired results while still maintaining a degree of authenticity, ethics and stewardship. The Responsible Leader identifies what it means to be an authentic leader, taking in intra-organizational relationships, role modelling and ethical practice. Addressing the practical challenge of implementing a framework of corporate social responsibility in an organization that may embrace thousands of people, The Responsible Leader sets out what this strategy looks like in practice and advises on creating a new and hopeful narrative for the future. Drawing on in-depth case studies from HSBC, PwC, Oasis and Marks and Spencers that chart the journey to responsible and sustainable management in challenging environments, it presents a fresh vision for leadership success that goes beyond simple compliance.

Contingency, Immanence, and the Subject of Rhetoric
LAUER SERIES IN RHETORIC AND COMPOSITION | Series Editors: Patricia Sullivan, Catherine Hobbs, Thomas Rickert, and Jennifer Bay | CONTINGENCY, IMMANENCE, AND THE SUBJECT OF RHETORIC Contingency, Immanence, and the Subject of Rhetoric considers rhetoric as the historical counterpoint of philosophical and religious discourses via its correspondences with antique rabbinic exegetical practices and contemporary psychoanalytic insights into causation. Timothy Richardson takes up the rabbinic position to demonstrate how traditional Greco-Christian rhetoric might be insufficient to account for what we now mean by rhetoric as a discipline. He argues that rhetoric as an academic discipline is different from philosophy insofar as it takes as its object the missing cause of performance, of writing, of inquiry itself inherent in the contingency of their status as events. Rhetorical inquiry offers a mode of reading and writing that is premised upon (for Kenneth Burke) unspoken, often unspeakable motives and (for Jacques Lacan) impossible desire so that rhetorical analysis, in Lacan's words, "impl[ies] in the text what it itself neglected." The result is a position from which all events (spoken, written, acted, whatever) are present and contingent acts that resist narrative cohesion because they are founded on a necessary lack in the subject. CONTINGENCY, IMMANENCE, AND THE SUBJECT OF RHETORIC includes a Forward by David Metzger. | TIMOTHY RICHARDSON'S work has appeared in such journals as JAC, Kairos, Pre/Text, Paris Review, and Western Humanities Review. He is Associate Professor of English at the University of Texas at Arlington, where he teaches courses in antique and contemporary rhetorics, psychoanalytic theory, media studies, and writing. He lives in Fort Worth, Texas with his wife, fiction writer Laura Kopchick, and their two children, Harper and Ben.

Making European Space
Making European Space explores how future visions of Europe's physical space are being decisively shaped by transnational politics and power struggles, which are being played out in new multi-level arenas of governance across the European Union. At stake are big ideas about mobility and friction, about relations between core and peripheral regions, and about the future Europe's cities and countryside. The book builds a critical narrative of the emergence of a new discourse of Europe as 'monotopia', revealing a very real project to shape European space in line with visions of high speed, frictionless mobility, the transgression of borders, and the creation of city networks. The narrative explores in depth how the particular ideas of mobility and space which underpin this discourse are being constructed in policy making, and reflects on the legitimacy of these policy processes. In particular, it shows how spatial ideas are becoming embedded in the everyday practices of the social and political organisation of space, in ways that make a frictionless Europe seem natural, and part of a common European territorial identity.

Sweets
It is a truth universally acknowledged that everyone loves sweets. However keen we might be on fine cheese vintage wine or acorn-fed Iberian ham much of the time we'd be happier with a Curly-Wurly. But why do we like sweets so much? Why is there such an enormous variety of types a whole uncharted gastronomy in itself? And where do they all come from?Many of the sweets we recognize today have a lineage going back hundreds of years. Sugar was first transported around the world with the exotic herbs and spices used by medieval apothecaries. By association the confectioner's art was at first medical in nature and many sweets (such as aniseed balls which were a medieval cure for indigestion) were originally consumed for reasons of health.Other sweets came in-to being in the worlds of ritual and magic. Chocolate for example was mixed with chilli and used as a libation by the Aztecs. It subsequently appeared in other rather more palatable drinks around the world but not in the solid form we now recognize until about 150 years ago. But the special significance of a gift of chocolate remains . . .Whatever their manifold origins sweets are still a feature of every human society around the world. Tim Richardson's book tells the extraordinary story of comfits and dragées lozenges and pastilles sherbets and subtleties. Like a box of chocolates it's something you can just dip into - or scoff all at once.
