  What do you do when your partner’s infidelity upends your life? When you confront living on your own? In amongst parents dying, careers ending and becoming a grandparent? 
  As a journalist, Kate Legge often seeks answers to how people reckon with bad luck or bad decisions. When faced with her husband’s affair, she discovered a fault line of betrayal running through four generations 
  of his family, which began a search for answers both close to home and more universally. 
  Infidelity and Other Affairs begins with this puzzle: is unfaithfulness a predisposition or a learned behaviour? From there, Legge contemplates a vast catalogue of behaviours as she strives to understand how we 
  become who we are. 
  To her own surprise, she finds strength and peace over revenge and hate, as well as joy in unexpected places. 
   
  ‘One cannot fail to be entranced by Legge’s bone-deep strength and wisdom.’ ANNABEL CRABB 
  ‘Unflinchingly investigating the value of monogamy and the true cost of betrayal.’ TRENT DALTON

  Lights. Camera. Politics 
  Before Ronald Reagan became “the Great Communicator,” he was a Hollywood actor who mastered the art of storytelling — and he carried that skill straight into the White House. Reagan’s Hollywood America reveals how the former movie star reshaped not only the Republican Party but also the entire cultural imagination of the United States. 
  From the rise of patriotic blockbusters to the golden glow of prime-time optimism, Davis Truman traces how film and television during the 1980s became a mirror — and a weapon — for Reagan’s vision of America. Behind the scenes, entertainment and ideology merged into a powerful narrative machine that sold not just movies, but a new national myth. 
  Inside this groundbreaking book:That ’80s Show! – How pop culture and politics fused into one seamless performance.The Image President – How Reagan used cinematic language to control public perception.Hollywood’s Cold War – Movies as moral battlegrounds for American virtue versus Soviet villainy.Television Nation – The rise of nostalgia, family values, and the American Dream on screen.The Legacy Reel – How Reagan’s Hollywood still shapes today’s political storytelling. 
  Rich with cultural analysis, cinematic insight, and political commentary, Reagan’s Hollywood America is an essential listen for readers who love history, film, and the art of persuasion. 
  Whether you’re a student of politics, a lover of classic cinema, or fascinated by how image became power, this book pulls back the curtain on an era when the American Dream was scripted, directed, and broadcast worldwide.

  Becoming Hewlett Packard - Why...

  Based on extensive primary research conducted over more than fifteen years, this book documents the differential contribution of HP's successive CEOs in sustaining the company's integral process of becoming. It uses a comprehensive strategic leadership framework to examine and explain the role of the CEO: (1) defining and executing the key tasks of strategic leadership, and (2) developing four key elements of the company's strategic leadership capability. 
   
   
   
  The study of the strategic leadership of HP's successive CEOs revealed the paradox of corporate becoming, the existential situation facing successive CEOs (that justifies the book's empathic approach), and the importance of the CEO's ability to harness the company's past while also driving its future. Building on these insights, the book shows how the frameworks used to conceptualize the tasks of strategic leadership and the development of strategic leadership capability can serve as steps toward a dynamic theory of strategic leadership that animates an evolutionary framework of corporate becoming. This framework will be helpful for further theory development about strategic leadership and also offers practical tools for founders of new companies and CEOs and boards of directors of existing companies who intend to create, run, or oversee companies built for continued relevance, longevity, and greatness.
