She pursued her husband with a single-minded and very public crusade to prove she was in the right. She even interrupted her husband's election campaign to denounce him to the assembled voters. Edward responded by threatening to have her committed to a lunatic asylum.But that was only the beginning.This fantastic novel from award-winning author Stephen Wyatt draws freely on Edward and Rosina's own words. Both have a convincing story to tell - except that they seem to disagree about absolutely everything...

Leadership is in crisis. Scandals are commonplace, only 20% of employees claim they trust their leaders, two in three think politicians are only motivated by self-interest, three-quarters of firms say they don't have the leadership bench that they need today, and major societal problems are not being resolved. In the context of this scenario, this book answers two important questions: What skills do you need to be successful as a leader today that are different from those required previously? How can you develop these differentiating skills and mindsets? The antidote to the crisis of leadership lies in four attributes: Aspire: Make clear personal choices of what purpose to pursue, what values to resolutely promote and which stakeholder interests to represent. Ally: Form mutually respectful, supportive relationships with others within and beyond the organisation. Adapt: Navigate through turbulence, flexing the enterprise and flowing resources to the priority issues. Accelerate: Continually learn to remain relevant and heighten impact. Antidote to the Crisis of Leadership is replete with quotes, vignettes and encouragement contributed by over 50 leaders from a broad variety of backgrounds, sectors, and countries. Each chapter includes commentary, draws on the most relevant theory and reference texts and concludes with suggested exercises to increase your impact.

Gerontius is about Cardinal Newman, his close relationship with his friend and collaborator, Father Ambrose St John, and the recent controversy about whether the two bodies, buried together at Newman's express wish, should be separated as part of Newman's progress to beatification.Winner of the 2012 Tinniswood Award for best radio drama script broadcast in 2010.The judges said: "Wyatt has already won one Tinniswood Award, and we had no doubt that the outstanding fluidity and intelligence of Gerontius, the haunting near-perfection of it, could warrant a second. [...] It has remarkable spiritual depth - sadly all to rare in contemporary drama - and a consistent subtlety of writing."
