Reviewers are singing the praises of the life affirming and updated best selling book, The NEW Heart at Work. Rich with illuminating stories from every sector and lifestyle, this priceless treasure trove of anecdotes gives us all hope in creating workplaces where people thrive when they are appreciated. The formula for a productive workforce is simple but long forgotten - encouragement, empowerment and self-esteem, and one which increases the bottom line better than any other method of management. From CEOs, executives and managers to secretaries, taxi cab drivers and bus boys - self-esteem translates in every language and organization. It is time to transform our everyday lives and become more caring and observant of our fellow human beings. The NEW Heart at Work demonstrates that one person can cause miracles to occur generating a ripple effect. You will be fascinated reading insights from well-known personalities like Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, Oprah, Cal Ripken, Jr. and Carol Realini and inspired by those less known but equally as powerful.
Situating Shakespeare Pedagogy in US Higher Education

On college and university campuses across the United States, scholar-teachers and their students find themselves in conditions of both real threat and tremendous possibility. Building on the recent surge of interest in equitable pedagogy within the field of Shakespeare and Renaissance literary studies, Situating Shakespeare Pedagogy in U.S. Higher Education makes a case for anchoring our teaching in these institutional power dynamics that have historically contributed to systemic injustice and continue to affect our work on a daily basis. Each of the contributors to this collection speaks directly to the intersection between their own identities, the lived experiences of their students, and the particular qualities of the institutions where they teach-including student demographics, curricular requirements, geographical location, and comparative levels of administrative support for implementing social justice approaches. From this perspective, they provide hope and practical guidance for scholar-educators who want to meet our students where they are.
Making Waves, Revised and Expanded

The 1960s was famously the decade of sex, drugs and rock'n'roll. It was also a decade of revolution and counter-revolution, of the Cuban missile crisis, of the American intervention in Vietnam, of economic booms and the beginning of consumerism (and the rebellion against it). In Hollywood, the genres which had held audiences captive in the 1940s and 50s - musicals, Westerns, melodramas - were losing their appeal and their great practitioners were approaching retirement. The scene was therefore set for new cinemas to emerge to attract the young, the discriminating, the politically conscious and the sexually emancipated. Making Waves, Revised and Expanded is a sharp, focused, and brilliant survey of the innovative filmmaking of the 1960s, placing it in its political, economic, cultural and aesthetic context - capturing the distinctiveness of a decade which was great for the cinema and for the world at large. Geoffrey Nowell-Smith pays particular attention to a handful of the most remarkable talents (Godard, Antonioni, Oshima) that emerged during the period and helped to make it so special. Nowell-Smith updates his classic text with a focus on 1960s Japan and the burgeoning New York scene.
