Sleeping Children

What happens when people grow up believing that privilege is natural, wealth is virtue, and the rules are for everyone else? Discover the must-read insider's account of the 1%, the shocking true story of life as a nanny to the super-rich.'I could not put it down. The most compelling read of the year' PHILIPPA PERRY 'A compulsive read. Enraging, horrifying and utterly gripping' SABINE DURRANT 'A glimpse into the terminally messed up lives of the billionaire class and their offspring ... Gripping' CHRIS VAN TULLEKEN 'Written with fierce precision and filled with disturbing details, this book is urgent and essential reading' HANNAH MURRAY****The perfect nanny is invisible. She is trusted with everything: the children, their routines, the family secrets. She is expected to notice everything and remember nothing.For more than a decade, the Unnamed Nanny worked for some of the richest families in the world. She travelled on private jets, stayed on vast estates and luxury yachts, and helped raise children whose lives were planned years in advance. She saw separate apartments for young children; staff who were expected to disappear; parents who believed there was no problem that money couldn't solve.She was paid to look after the children. She was expected to look away from everything else. But everyone has their limits to what they can witness and remain silent. She found hers the hard way.Part memoir, part exposé, The Unnamed Nanny is an anonymous account of raising the children of the ultra-rich - and what really happens behind the closed doors of the 1%.The families remain anonymous.So must she.

Post-Experience Education is the trend towards lifelong, continued education. It includes Senior Leadership Apprenticeships, Open Programmes and Continuous Professional Development (CPD), Executive Education and MBAs. In this context, this two-volume work advances current scholarship around post-experience education and articulates its boundaries. Volume I focuses on the theory and concepts and covers the purpose, history, research gaps as well as drivers and tensions, amongst other topics. Volume 2 focuses on the practice of post-experience education, exploring professional pathways, ethics, sociological barriers, and doctoral education, to name a few. Taken together, these contributed volumes mark a sea change in our understanding of the topic in a field where no underlying theory exists. Across the chapters, authors offer valuable insights and a more nuanced conceptualisation of the subject.Christian Harrison

Perspectives on Practice

Post-Experience Management Education, Volume II

Part life philosophy, part financial clarity, and part real-world wisdom from a hugely popular estate planning attorney who has seen what happens when families plan and when they don't. I'm Sorry I'm Dead helps readers confront the reality of life's end, not in a morbid way, but in a deeply empowering one. Estate planning attorney, entrepreneur, and best-selling author Pamela Maass Garrett aka Law Mother has helped thousands of families navigate what happens when someone dies. She has seen firsthand that the biggest problems families face are rarely legal: they are emotional, relational, and the result of decisions never made . . . siblings that stop speaking over a dispute about their parent's home, a grieving widow locked out of bank accounts because she didn't know how to get access, and families forced to guess about critical medical decisions. All of these problems can be easily avoided. In this book, Garrett introduces a powerful mindset shift: when you face the end of life honestly, you begin living more intentionally today. Through compelling stories from real families, practical financial insights, and simple decision-making frameworks, readers learn how to take control of their lives before circumstances take control of them. The book guides readers through the most important life decisions most people avoid: · how to organize finances and build real wealth · how to protect loved ones legally and emotionally · how to make difficult family decisions before crisis strikes · how to prevent conflict, confusion, and regret after death · how to create a legacy that strengthens future generations rather than unintentionally burdening them with a huge tax bill · what you really can and can't do Rather than overwhelming readers with technical legal details, I'm Sorry I'm Dead offers a clear philosophy and practical tools for making the decisions that matter most. The result is a life lived with greater clarity, stronger relationships, and the peace of knowing the people you love will be protected. This book is for anyone who wants to stop drifting through life and start deciding it.

Estate Planning to Protect the People You Love and Leave Behind More Than Money

Four starred reviews! A new tween graphic novel by bestselling author Faith Erin Hicks. Perfect for fans of Sweet Valley Twins and Ride On! Twin sisters Ash and Sloane are headed to animation camp-where their courage, drive, and sisterly bond will be put to the test! Twin sisters Sloane and Ash are two peas in a pod, and they do everything together: watch movies, attend classes, and most importantly, draw! So when the summer animation classes of their dreams are about to start, they can barely contain their excitement! Well...Ash is excited but Sloane is surprised to find she isn't as jubilant about it, which makes no sense, since she loves art. Meanwhile, Ash discovers that just because you love something, doesn't mean you'll automatically be good at it, and she struggles under the weight of her own expectations and those of her teacher's. Soon, the trials of challenging classwork and new friendships drive a wedge between the twins. Can their bond survive the summer?

This open access book offersa cultural history of lawsuits that traces the development of French performance rights from la Belle Époque, throughthe Roaring Twenties, and into thePost-War period. It does so by analysing the ways in which performers, composers, and playwrights took to French courtrooms, sought attention in mass media, and participated in political debates to claim their rights to create and control musical and theatrical performance. In 19th-century France, composers and playwrights organised in member-run societies that successfully used authors' rights legislation to curb the power of theatre managers. By the turn of the 20th century, these so-called collective management organisations had transformed French cultural industries by building out structures of royalty collection and improving litigation practices. From the café-concert culture in 19th-century Montmartre and the rise of modern celebrity culture, to mass media and radio entertainment, the book traces precedent-setting litigation that defined who creates and controls performance. The book challenges previous narratives that centre the individualisation of authors in the expansion of the international copyright regime while neglecting performers. Instead, it reveals the ways in which the personality and individuality of performers have played a constitutive role in discourses about genius, technology, and legal categories. Performance as Intellectual Property is for anyone interested in the emergence of modern European cultural industries and the relationships between intellectual property systems, creativity, and art. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com Open access was funded by the European Research Council.

"An astounding achievement." --Megha Majumdar, bestselling author of A Burning "Her best book yet." --Paul Yoon, award-winning author of Run Me to Earth From the bestselling author of Mary Coin comes a rich family saga set in midcentury America centered on two fierce and competitive matriarchs whose intertwined lives reflect the complexities of family, tradition, and personal ambition, told with "Silver's signature combination of toughness and grace" (Laird Hunt, bestselling author of Zorrie).Helene Simonauer and Evelyn Turner are two formidable women whose paths cross when their children marry. Both women are sharp, cunning, and unwavering in their conflicting beliefs about marriage, responsibility, and family and, most pressingly, their efforts to vie for the love of their shared granddaughter. Weaving together the lives of Helene and Evelyn--from their vastly different childhoods through the pivotal events that define them--At Last paints a vivid portrait of the American Midwest, capturing the essence of a time and place where societal norms and personal aspirations often clashed. Both intimate and expansive while capturing the complexities of ambition and love with humor and insight, At Last is a testament to what happens when an unintended, even unwanted relationship turns out to be a central one that defines a life.
