  This book explores current attitudes towards failure in academia. Tara Brabazon argues that success and failures are rarely linked and instead failure can be harnessed as both a diagnostic and a literacy to improve research integrity, authenticity, accountability and consciousness. 
  Brabazon demonstrates how instances of failure can facilitate an awareness of asymmetrical power dynamics and injustice in academic life. How To Embrace Academic Failure illustrates how to create personal, professional and organizational change as a result of failure. It offers practical strategies for using failure to enhance academic careers and improve research ethics and teaching. Brabazon concludes by presenting an idealised academic future where a culture of failure provides transparency, rigour, ethical leadership and followership. 
  This insightful book is a vital resource for students and scholars of higher education management, business leadership and the sociology of education. Academics in critical university studies and early career researchers will also benefit from Brabazon's novel perspective on the post-pandemic, claustropolitan university.

  Forgiveness after Trauma - A...

  Susannah Griffith wishes she had spent less time thinking about forgiveness. But as a Christian minister, a biblical scholar, and a survivor of abuse, she has learned a lot about it. 
   
   
   
  In Forgiveness after Trauma, Griffith explores what the Bible says—and doesn't say—about the biblical call to forgive. She helps listeners understand this command in ways that are healing and restorative, framing it within broader concerns around lament, anger, accountability, release and rebirth, and reconciliation. 
   
   
   
  The result is what Griffith calls "trauma-informed forgiveness," which takes seriously God's forgiveness of sinners while centering survivors of abuse and aiding their healing. This view also empowers those who have been harmed in other ways by abuses of power and justice in religious institutions. 
   
   
   
  Listeners will resonate with Griffith's astute biblical analysis and personal reflection, which point to God's love—a love that never includes abuse and strives for justice for the vulnerable.

  The 1987 murder of Lita McClinton Sullivan sent shock waves through the affluent Atlanta suburb of Buckhead, Georgia like few other crimes before it. The neighborhood, with its stately mansions and top-tier schools, was simply not the kind of place where women were gunned down in broad daylight. How many socialites had enemies so dangerous they would be murdered by a hit man pretending to deliver roses on an early winter morning? 
   
   
   
  Lita was an intelligent, accomplished, and stunning Black woman from a respected Atlanta family. Her interracial marriage to white millionaire Jim Sullivan was a newsworthy occurrence in 1970s Georgia. Unfortunately, it wasn't long before Jim's roving eye and controlling nature put Lita on edge, leading to a divorce years later. As the legal battle raged and Jim's financial outlook grew precarious, he had a chance encounter with an ex-con who said he could "take care" of Jim's wife problem . . . 
   
   
   
  Award-winning writer Deb Miller Landau details the shocking events that followed Lita's murder in 1987, including the surprising lack of evidence, racial bias in the justice system, and the international manhunt for Lita's killer. Full of twists and turns, legal battles, and the McClinton family's unrelenting dedication to justice, Landau's investigation is the first complete account of this tragic American crime.
