Growth is a never-ending journey. The more we know, the more we realise we don't know. Growth involves discomfort, taking risks and facing into the wind. It's never easy, it's always hard-won. This book is an exploration of the counterintuitive aspects of growth. Seasoned online business leader and startup veteran David Norris combines insight from his hands-on experience with an unconventional approach of embracing paradox to propel both personal and business growth. He dives into strategic thinking, team leadership, and personal effectiveness, presenting a practical guide for founders, startup leaders, entrepreneurs and growth leaders as they face their own challenges. "Growthadox" is an essential read for those prepared to challenge the status quo and navigate the non-obvious paths to success.

James Joyce's The Dead

Dublin, of course, is the subject as perceived and portrayed by the eye of her native son, but also the site of the June 1992 international symposium at which the 28 essays were presented. They cover general aspects, hostile responses to Joyce, male feminisms, the shorter works, Aeolus without wind, and the novels. The specific topics include narrativity in Finnegan's Wake, the number of triangles a writer can make out of four characters taking two at a time, monologue as monologic, Lawrence as an enemy of Joyce, and Celtism.

This book illustrates an alternative approach to ‘state of sustainability’ reporting by presenting cross-sectoral and multi-disciplinary discussions on sustainability issues in the context of a developing country, Botswana. The book volume illustrates how academic publishing can supplement African governments' existing forms of reporting on sustainability by providing on-ground detailed descriptions and experiences relating to achievement of the various sustainable development goals (SDGs). In addition, this process involves, increases and enhances diversity of stakeholders that report on sustainability. Furthermore, the approach resonates with the UN’s recommendation to build local strategies for implementation of the 2030 agenda for sustainable development. Conventional reporting on sustainability by most African countries is an exercise that is customarily the preserve of designated government ministries. While this form of reporting provides a consistent platform for tracking sustainable development goals, it can also benefit from juxtaposition with in-depth descriptions and experiences provided by academic publishing. Academia, through publishing, provides a framework for on-ground situation-analysis as well as in-depth descriptions of African country’s grass-root experiences, thus allowing for temporal tracking of sustainable development milestones. As this volume illustrates, experiences from the various contributors on this volume highlight different points of departure towards achieving the 2030 agenda. Topics covered include biodiversity, water management, world heritage, environment, education, tourism, gender, institutional approaches to achievement of SDGs, as well as contribution of non-governmental organisations (NGO)'s amongst others.

James Joyce is one of the most famous--and controversial--writers of the twentieth century. The myth of his difficulty has discouraged many readers from works such as "Ulysses," but David Norris explores his life and work in this engaging and intellectually rigorous introduction.

Introducing Joyce

Haunting is what happens when the past is disturbed and the victims of previous violence, who are thought to be buried and forgotten, are brought back to the present and made to live again. Serbian fiction writers of the 1980s exhume the ghosts of the past, re-remembering the cruelty of the twentieth century, reinterpreting the heroic role of the Partisans and the extraordinary measures taken to defend Yugoslavia’s recently won independence and socialist revolution. Their uncanny and ghostly imagery challenges the assumptions of the master discourse promoted by the country’s orthodox communist authorities and questions the historical roots of social and cultural identities. The instability of this period of transition is deepened during the wars of the 1990s, when authors turn from the memory of past violence to face the ferocious brutality of new conflicts. The haunting evocations in their work continue to articulate fresh uncertainties as the trappings of modern civilization are stripped away and replaced by the destructive logic of civil war. The past returns once more with renewed energy in the struggle to make sense of a vastly changed world.
