Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Your dog sees the person you become when no one else is watching. What does that witness reveal?A dog does not care about your title, your reputation, or the story you tell the world. It knows the temperature of your voice, the weight of your hand, the reliability of your return. It lives close to the evidence of your character. And in doing so, it asks the quietest, most demanding question a life can pose: Can this creature rely on you?The Witness at Our Feet is a collection of seventeen meditations on what it means to share a home, a routine, a language, and ultimately a grief with a dog. Drawing on more than forty years of professional leadership and a lifetime lived alongside dogs, Peter Scraton examines the ordinary architecture of a shared life and finds in it something extraordinary: a mirror held up to human patience, gentleness, responsibility, and love.Inside, you will discover: Why a dog is not merely a companion but a moral claim upon your characterWhat routine, waiting, and the first walk reveal about trust and presenceHow grief with a pulse can anchor a person when the world collapsesThe discipline of gentleness and why power without control is not strengthThe last walk, the hard duty of mercy, and what the empty bowl leaves behindHow dogs keep memory, teach forgiveness, and walk us back into the worldThis is not a training guide. It is not a memoir dressed in sentimentality. It is a serious, tender, and unsentimental examination of what happens when another creature's world is placed, in large part, in your hands.Whether you are living with a dog right now, mourning one you have lost, or simply wondering why these animals leave such deep marks on our lives, this book was written for you.Turn the page. The witness is waiting. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Hollow Establishment is a short, analytical examination of how modern institutions can lose effectiveness while continuing to project stability and authority.Drawing on observations from organisational life, leadership environments, and institutional structures, Peter Scraton explores how systems that were designed to provide accountability, performance, and public value can, over time, become inward-looking and resistant to challenge.The book focuses on patterns rather than personalities. It considers how leadership behaviours, governance practices, and cultural norms interact to shape outcomes inside organisations, and how gradual shifts can weaken clarity, decision-making, and trust.Key themes include: The gap between formal authority and practical legitimacy The impact of leadership behaviour on organisational culture The role of governance, oversight, and accountability How complexity and internal focus can reduce effectiveness Why institutions often struggle to correct courseWritten in a clear and direct style, this book does not present a single solution or universal model. Instead, it offers a structured way of thinking about institutional performance and the conditions that influence it.The Hollow Establishment will be of interest to readers involved in leadership, management, governance, and organisational development, as well as those interested in how institutions function in practice.
