Hardback. Condition: New. Eat Pray Love meets Beloved Dog in this gift book about how an artist discovered an authentic, creative life-thanks to an adventurous dog.   This is the story of a woman who had two lifelong wishes: to own a dog, and to make art by hand every day, the way she had as a child.   As her career blossomed, and the years passed, she started to miss working with pencils, paper, scissors, and fabric. She wondered: Is this who I want to be? Is this what I want to do? Amsterdam beckoned and, after settling in, she adopted a terrier named McDuff. Together they explored the city and found all the inspiration they needed. With her canine muse at her side, she started living in he present-and making art again. Filled with vibrant photo collages, Me and McDuff is an irresistible book for anyone who suspects that a dog is the answer to all of life's important questions.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Jan Svankmajer enjoys a curious sort of anti-reputation: he is famous for being obscure. Unapologetically surrealist, Svankmajer draws on the traditions and techniques of stop-motion animation, collage, montage, puppetry, and clay to craft bizarre filmscapes. If these creative choices are off-putting to some, they have nonetheless won the Czech filmmaker recognition as a visionary animator. Keith Leslie Johnson explores Svankmajer's work as a cinema that spawns new and weird life forms hybrids of machine, animal, and non-organic materials like stone and dust. Johnson's ambitious approach unlocks access to the director's world, a place governed by a single, uncanny order of being where all things are at once animated and inert. For Svankmajer, everything is at stake in every aspect of life, whether that life takes the form of an object, creature, or human. Sexuality, social bonds, religious longings all get recapitulated on the stage of inanimate things. In Johnson's view, Svankmajer stands as the proponent of a biopolitical, ethical, and ecological outlook that implores us to reprogram our relationship with the vital matter all around us, including ourselves and our bodies.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A fascinating guide to effective leadership in times of crises, with a psychological underpinning that provides both context and practical advice.Whether planned or unexpected, change can present leaders with some of their toughest sustained challenges, regardless of seniority or the organisations size. In A Question of Leadership, Keith Leslie provides a wide range of illustrative case studies derived from both research and his first-hand experience in the public and private sectors. They are united by an overarching thesis: the failure of many change initiatives is caused by the leaders inability to fully consider the consequences and magnitude of the situation. Across business and society, the prevalence and impacts of such short-sighted mistakes has become more apparent than ever following the onset of the Covid pandemic in 2020.Each chapter provides an engaging narrative that presents a relatable leadership dilemma, before undertaking an analysis of what works and when it should be implemented and, finally, actionable advice for leaders who find themselves in comparable circumstances (or may do so in the future).A Question of Leadership also places an emphasis on an important but frequently overlooked element of corporate leadership and change initiatives: mental health. The book provides expert advice on managing the mental health of leaders and the teams who are operating within stressful, high-pressure environments. This is a timely and essential guide for any business leader looking for the most effective strategies and approaches when it comes to change initiatives, to ensure the continued livelihood and prosperity of their organization and their employees in times of crisis. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
