In Leading Through, the dynamic struggle between two competing paradigms of leadership is compellingly illustrated: an old paradigm that involves control and power over people versus a new one that enables and inspires power through people. With rich examples and stories, the authors show how deeply ingrained the legacy model of leadership remains and how destructive it is, causing waste and loss of human potential, stifling innovation, and ultimately resulting in what the authors call "organizational darkness."

As a tutor of Biology of about 20 years experience I quite often came across students who were struggling with the basics. Most often the subject of the basic biological molecules; proteins, carbohydrates and lipids, was causing them some confusion. Admittedly, for biology students who don't study chemistry, this subject can be a challenge. So what I have done in this book is give a summary of the most important points about these molecule groups in the easily understandable format, of a series of questions and answers. I have also included a chapter of key words, that I explain, before the...

Bonding is one of the fundamental topics in chemistry and one that everyone who wants to understand the subject should know and get to grips with. Basic ideas such as covalent bonding and ionic bonding are explained here; in a straightforward manner that you will be able to understand easily. The connection between types of bonding and melting points and conductivity is also explored in a series of questions which resemble those you should face in a test or exam on this subject. Also the polarity of covalent bonds, hydrogen and metallic bonding are all clearly explained; as well as an ...

It begins with just a few people falling ill. Another flu virus that spreads around the globe. And then the reports begin that people are dying.... When most of the world's population is wiped out, a handful of survivors are left to pick up the pieces. Cities become graveyards. Technology becomes largely obsolete. Mankind must start again.... Includes 'Cabin Fever' by Jonathan Morris, 'Contact' by Simon Clark, 'Rescue' by Andrew Smith and 'Leaving' by Matt Fitton.

This book is not intended to be a text book. Instead it is a companion to a Biology text book i.e it should be used along with a text book- not instead of it. The intention is to highlight the key points of each topic and explain the principles behind them (as this understanding gains you marks in exams). I believe that conventional text books have their place but deliver the knowledge and explanations together in big blocks of text that are difficult to follow. What I thought I would do was take the main points and principles behind Biology and make them clear in the form of questions and ...

Imagine if a comet or asteroid from space hit the Earth! An example of such an event in was in Siberia, Russia about 100 years ago, at about 7.15am on June 30th 1908. Its impact explosion was equivalent to about one thousand times that of the atomic bomb dropped by the US on Hiroshima, Japan, at the end of the Second World War! Have I got your attention now? Thank goodness it landed in the middle of a wilderness; what if that had been New York? The impact destroyed about eighty million trees: an area of about two thousand square kilometres. Some scientists believe it to have been a fragment...

This book explains the features of the basic unit of Biology; the cell. It is written for Biology students and explains the cell, its structures and functions and the significance of these; in a question and answer format that is easy to work through. It also has exam questions and answers to help students with their end of course tests. This is a useful book for any Biology student who wants to understand the subject properly.

The discovery of the structure of DNA, in 1953, by Watson and Crick, was arguably the most important discovery in biology of that century; and certainly one of the most important discoveries in science, ever. Around sixty years later; we have already cracked the human genome (we know the nature of all codes within the DNA in human beings) and can sequence DNA and copy DNA very quickly. Our knowledge of the evolutionary relationships between living things has been greatly improved by knowing the similarities and differences of their genes. Here are a few astonishing facts about DNA that have...

This book describes and explains the diseases of diabetes, coronary heart disease and atrial fibrillation in clear, uncomplicated language that anyone can understand. It looks at the factors that predispose people to these common diseases and how we can reduce our risk of getting them.

AIDS, Malaria, Cholera, Tuberculosis and Cystic Fibrosis: this book is about explaining what causes these diseases and what cures or treatments are available. As they represent different types of disease in each case; I believe someone reading this will gain the understanding of not only AIDS, malaria, cholera, TB and cystic fibrosis; but also many other diseases that have the same or similar basis. This book will particularly benefit students of biology and medicine; but is written in understandable language for non-students; who may just have an interest in these diseases. I hope that by ...

This book aims to quickly teach the understanding of how the lungs work in order to allow efficient gas exchange. It also explains how plants exchange gases through their leaves. It uses a key word section and a question and answer format to explain clearly in bitesize chunks, the principles of how gases diffuse across the exchange surfaces and how breathing takes place. It includes an exam question and answer section with exam tips to help students facing tests.

We are all interested in sex. That is only natural because it is the reason why we were born and we are biologically programmed to be interested in it, in order to reproduce. However, most people are shy to ask the basic questions about sex that worry them; e.g. many men worry about the size of their penis and whether it will disappoint their sexual partner. In this book I am to deal honestly and openly with the basic questions we all have about sex and in doing so, get rid of unnecessary anxieties and ignorance about this most basic and important topic. I hope this book will improve your ...

The heart usually comes up in a Biology course. After all, it is one the most important organs; it constantly maintains life through the circulation of blood to the respiring cells. It also though, comes up a lot in people's lives; unfortunately this often takes the form of heart disease, your own, or someone you love or know. Quite a lot of people have trouble understanding how the heart works, it is a miracle of engineering and structural design and it takes a bit of effort to get to grips with it. What I want to do in this short book is explain clearly how the heart works and why this ...
