The Peepshow: The Murders at Rillington Place
by Kate Summerscale*Named a Best Book of 2024 by FT * Nominated for the Women's prize for nonfiction*From the Edgar Award–winning author of The Haunting of Alma Fielding, the tale of two journalists competing to solve the notorious Christie murders in postwar LondonIn March 1953, London police discovered the bodies of three young women hidden in a wall at 10 Rillington Place, a dingy rowhouse in Notting Hill. On searching the building, they found another body beneath the floorboards, then an array of human bones in the garden. They launched a nationwide manhunt for the tenant of the ground-floor apartment, a softly spoken former policeman named Reg Christie. But they had already investigated a double murder at 10 Rillington Place three years before, and the killer was hanged. Did they get the wrong man?The story was an instant sensation. The star reporter Harry Procter chased after the scoop on Christie. The eminent crime writer Fryn Tennyson Jesse begged her editor to let her cover the case. To Harry and Fryn, Christie seemed a new kind of murderer: he was vacant, impersonal, a creature of a brutish postwar world. Christie liked to watch women, they discovered, and he liked to kill them. They realized that he might also have engineered a terrible miscarriage of justice.In this riveting true story, Kate Summerscale mines the archives to uncover the lives of Christie&’s victims, the tabloid frenzy that their deaths inspired, and the truth about what happened inside the house. What she finds sheds fascinating light on the origins of our fixation with true crime—and suggests a new solution to one of the most notorious cases of the century.

Dirty Kitchen: A Memoir of Food and Family
by Jill DamatacIn the style of Crying in H Mart and Minor Feelings, filmmaker Jill Damatac blends memoir, food writing, and colonial history as she cooks her way through recipes from her native-born Philippines and shares stories of her undocumented family in America.Jill Damatac left the United States in 2015 after living there as an undocumented immigrant with her family for twenty-two years. America was the only home she knew, where invisibility had become her identity and where poverty, domestic violence, ill health, and xenophobia were everyday experiences. First traveling to her native Philippines, Damatac eventually settled in London, England, where she was free to pursue an education at the University of Cambridge, fully investigate her roots, and process what happened to her and her family. After nine years, she was granted British citizenship, and returned to the United States, for the first time without fear of deportation or retribution. Damatac weaves together forgotten colonial history and long-buried Indigenous tradition, taking us through her time in America, and cooking her way through Filipino recipes in her kitchen as she searches for a sense of self and renewed possibility. With emotional intelligence, clarity, and grace, Dirty Kitchen explores fractured memories to ask questions of identity, colonialism, immigration, and belonging, and to find ways in which the ritual, tradition, and comfort of food can answer them.

The End Is the Beginning: A Personal History of My Mother
by Jill BialoskyJill Bialosky, the poet behind the &“tender, absorbing, and deeply moving memoir&” (Entertainment Weekly) History of a Suicide, returns with a lyrical portrait of her mother&’s life, told in reverse order from burial to birth.When Iris Yvonne Bialosky died in an assisted care facility on March 29, 2020, it unleashed a torrent of emotions in her daughter, Jill Bialosky. Grief, of course, but also guilt, confusion, and doubt, all of which were compounded by the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic which made it impossible for Jill to be with her mother as she was dying and to attend her mother&’s funeral. Now, with a poet&’s eye for detail and a novelist&’s flair for storytelling, Jill presents a profoundly moving elegy unlike any other. Starting with her mother&’s end and the physical/cognitive decline that led her to a care home, The End Is the Beginning explores Iris&’s battle with depression, the tragedy of a daughter&’s suicide, a failed second marriage, the death of her beloved first husband only five years into their young marriage, her joyful teenage years, and the trauma of losing her own mother at just eight years old. Compounding her challenges of raising four daughters without a livelihood or partner, Iris&’s life coincided with an age of unstoppable social change and reinvention, when the roles of wife and mother she was raised to inhabit ceased to be the guarantors of stability and happiness. As we see Iris become younger and younger, we learn how we are all the sum of our experiences. Iris becomes a multi-dimensional, fascinating woman. We come to understand her difficulties and shortcomings, her neediness and her generosity, her pride and her despair. The End Is the Beginning is not just a family memoir, it is a brave and compassionate celebration of a woman&’s life and death and a window into a daughter&’s inextricable bond to her mother.

by Amelie Michalke Jennifer Kunz Tobias GauglerThis book explores the historical and theoretical classification of True Cost Accounting (TCA) and its business-oriented ways of implementation.Tobias Gaugler, Jennifer Kunz, and Amelie Michalke provide compact and comprehensible insights into TCA, which is one approach used to comprehensively assess actual (human or natural) resource consumption and implement this assessment into companies’ internal controlling.

Activating Voices in Jazz History: Students Broadening the Narrative (CMS Emerging Fields in Music)
by Anthony D.J. BrankerActivating Voices in Jazz History: Students Broadening the Narrative highlights the research of students who have been challenged to assess and interpret evidence found in historical records and engage in field interviews with a diverse representation of jazz artists. This approach serves as a method for co-creating a living history of jazz.Drawing from the author’s experience in teaching jazz historiography and recognizing that Jazz, African American music, and the music of the African diaspora offer unique perspectives rooted in culture and community, the book presents a culturally relevant view of the history of jazz. It also proposes a much-needed alternative methodology for teaching this subject. The author reflects on the issues that shape the framing of jazz history and discusses how using a dialogic approach can enable students to engage in critical conversations. The student-led interviews with artists focus on themes such as diversity and inclusion, gender equity, social justice, cultural identity and identification, what the word “jazz” represents, primitivism, reflections on pedagogy, the current state of jazz education, and the development of artistic voice and creative self-expression.This concise book will be a valuable resource for jazz educators, scholars, students, and enthusiasts alike.
The Impact of Executive Management Education: The Case for Relational Management Education in Business Schools (Management Impact)
by Lisa Anderson Paul Ellwood Clare Rigg Leighann SpencerThis book contributes to the debate about the impact of business and management schools.It brings together work that has been carried out over the last few years, to call attention to the idea that the impact of academics is not solely achieved through their research and engagement activities, and that their teaching has the potential to change management practice and thinking. As business school academics, the authors are in the privileged position of educating the managers of the future, whose work will influence the lives of many others, both on a day-to-day basis within their organisations and in a much broader, societal way. They propose relational management education (RME) as an approach that supports managers to learn and develop as ethical and collegial scholar-practitioners. They also introduce models which can help conceptualise pedagogies for impact and examples of student learning journeys showing how this approach can be enacted.The book will be of interest to academics in business and management schools at any career stage. It will also appeal to university and business school leaders and policymakers seeking to extend their understanding of the power and potential of education to achieve impact.
Boeing, the 737 MAX Crisis and Aviation Safety: The Perils of Profit-Driven Engineering
by Andrew HopkinsBoeing was once a symbol of engineering excellence, a company driven by the innovation and precision of its engineers. However, in the late 20th century, a shift in priorities – focusing on shareholder returns over passenger safety – marked a turning point that culminated in the tragic crashes of two 737 MAX aircraft and the global grounding of the fleet.This book explores how the pursuit of profit compromised safety principles, neglected human factors, and led to critical design failures that no one at Boeing had a complete view of. It examines the specifics of the Boeing crisis and looks at it in a broader industrial and economic context. This book draws from the author’s extensive research on other global industrial accidents, such as the Deepwater Horizon disaster, and highlights the dangers of profit-first decision-making, the necessity of robust safety systems, and the need for legal systems to respond effectively to corporate malfeasance. It demonstrates how neglecting safety as a top priority can lead to massive reputational damage in the airline industry. Written in an accessible style, this book brings clarity to complex issues, and readers will gain practicable insights into how companies, regulators, and stakeholders can better manage the risks of catastrophic failures.Boeing, the 737 MAX Crisis and Aviation Safety: The Perils of Profit-Driven Engineering is an essential read for professionals in the fields of human factors, safety, aeronautical/aerospace engineering, and law and corporate governance.
Ethical Issues in Psychology: A Critical Introduction
by Philip Banyard Cara FlanaganEthical Issues in Psychology: A Critical Introduction offers readers a clear review of current ethical practices and ideas in psychology and goes on to challenge some of the agreed wisdom on ethics.Ethical issues within psychology are not easy to resolve, and debates continue as we encounter new dilemmas. This book introduces ethics and their importance, and uses examples from psychological research to consider key ethical issues; ethical principles and guidelines for psychologists, including BPS guidelines; ethics in practice in psychology; ethical problems within psychology, such as racism; and methods for ethical research, including socially sensitive research, internet-mediated research, and the use of animals in psychological research. Fully up to date, this book considers recent challenges for researchers and teachers, including privacy and consent dilemmas in the use of social media for psychological research, the rise of the open science movement and an awareness of research misconduct and fraud, and the narrow focus of psychological research that positions itself as objective and scientific while sitting in a European, and therefore predominantly White, context.Offering a comprehensive examination of ethical issues in psychology across a wide range of fields, the book encourages readers to consider the ethics-related questions they should be asking when undertaking their own research. The book is essential reading for undergraduate and pre-undergraduate students of psychology and related subjects.
