Emma Mason (ed.): 'The Collected Poems' by Elizabeth JenningsDr Emma Mason, Reader in English at the University of Warwick's Department of English and Comparative Literary Studies, presents a new and definitive edition of the poetry of one of the best-loved and most enduringly popular modern poets: Elizabeth Jennings. A Venetian MiscellanyA collection of essays which celebrate Warwick's long connection with the city of Venice - not least its occupation of the Palazzo Pesaro Papafava, which has become the University's permanent Italian base. Keith Grint's 'Leadership - A Very Short Introduction'.The subject of leadership raises many questions: What is it? How does it differ from management and command? Are leaders born or bred? Who are the leaders? Do we actually need leaders? Professor Keith Grint, Director of the Institute of Governance and Public Management at Warwick Business School, prompts the reader to rethink their understanding of what leadership is. He examines the way leadership has evolved from its earliest manifestations in ancient societies, highlighting the beginnings of leadership writings through Plato, Sun Tzu, Machiavelli and others, to consider the role of the social, economic, and political context undermining particular modes of leadership. Prof Grint spent ten years in industry before switching to an academic career. He has previously taught at Brunel University and Oxford University and held Chairs at Lancaster, and Cranfield Universities. He is a member of the Sunningdale Institute, National School of Government. |
