This book identifies best practices, leadership styles, and organizational structures for the stimulation of organizational creativity, with an aim to help any company – not just companies in creative fields or industries – become an organization in which new ideas flow, new processes are developed, and new products are brought to market. Managers will find case studies describing exceptional organizational creativity and practical takeaways that can be applied in their own firms. Students will find concrete analytical frameworks for thinking about creativity in organizations, and academics will find a different approach to the study of creativity, one that is grounded in practice.
In 2003 Olga Sidorova retired as one of the world's top trapezists. She had performed around the world with Cirque du Soleil and before that with the Moscow State Circus. I had written a book about her called Dreams of the Solo Trapeze: Offstage with the Cirque du Soleil, and we remained great friends. A few years ago she asked me to write another book that would be a kind of manifesto of her vision for the future of aerial arts, as exemplified by her aerial studio in Sydney, Dancing in the Air, where she trained everyone from beginners to teachers to world-class performers. But over time this project evolved into something more than a photo book about the aerial arts. It became an intimate memoir of her journey after trapeze, into becoming an Australian citizen and putting down roots after a life of travel; of reinventing herself as a university student, an entrepreneur, a coach, a mother. I think this is a beautiful work that transcends aerial arts, that would be of interest to Australians, to women, to those battling mental illness, to mothers and mothers to be. There are lots of books that claim to be inspirational, but Olga's journey is truly a singular one. She has both literally and figuratively leapt over Life's many hurdles!Mark Schreiber

Virtues and Virtue Education in Theory and Practice explores questions about the locality versus the universality of virtues from a number of theoretical and practical perspectives. Written by leading international scholars in the field, it considers the relevance of these debates for the practice of virtue and character education. This volume brings together experts from education, philosophy, and psychology to consider how different disciplines might learn from each other and how insights from theory and practice can be integrated. It shows that questions about virtue relativity or universality have not only theoretical significance but also important practical ramifications. The chapters explore different complexities of virtue ethics and different approaches to nurturing virtue and beyond, questioning how well virtues travel across geographical and cultural borders. By examining the philosophical literature and making links between theory and practice in an original way, the book offers scholarly research-informed suggestions for practice. It will be of great interest to researchers and academics and students in educational philosophy, character education, ethics, and psychology.
