A CHILLING THRILLER FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF INTERNATIONAL PHENOMENON, THE WHISPER MAN 'An electrifyingly scary thriller' DAILY MAIL --- Reeling after his father suddenly takes his own life, Neil Dawson starts seeking out answers to help make sense of this tragedy. He rifles through his father's possessions and is shocked to discover an old novel - one he'd never known his father had written. The Black Flower. Enclosed within is a dried rose - eerily similar to the one held in the book by a mysterious girl who is found with no name and no memory - only a black flower in her hand... Why did his father keep this book hidden? And is the flower a sign - or a warning? As Neil begins to uncover more strange clues, he suspects there is more to his father's suicide than meets the eye. Detective Hannah Price is mourning the death of her own father, whose shadow looms large after she followed him into the police. When Neil calls on her to help investigate his father's death, she soon realises the truth Neil is seeking lies within The Black Flower. But as she starts digging deeper, she's shocked to discover dark secrets from her own past lurking in its pages... --- Praise for Alex North 'The best crime novel of the decade' Steve Cavanagh 'A thriller that is both terrifying and utterly heartbreaking. Mesmerising and masterful' Mark Billingham 'This is a true skin-crawler' Guardian 'Shades of Thomas Harris and Stephen King but brilliant in its own right' C.J. Tudor 'First it's spooky. Then it's scary. Then it's terrifying' A.J. Finn

When Neil Dawson's father commits suicide, he is devastated by the loss. But even through his grief, Neil knows something isn't right. Among his father's possessions, he finds a copy of an old novel, The Black Flower. Opening it will take Neil into an investigation full of danger, pain and subterfuge. Detective Hannah Price is also mourning her father, having followed his footsteps into the police force. When she gets assigned to Neil's father's case, it will lead her on a journey into her own past and to the heart of a shattering secret...

Routledge New Directions in PR & Communication Research

As one of the key thinkers of social theory, public relations scholars have repeatedly turned to Habermas' work to inform their own scholarship. This book systematically reviews the distinct body of PR literature that has applied Habermas' theories to provide an in-depth and nuanced discussion on what this influential social theorist has to offer PR research. Demonstrating the applications and challenges for PR ethics and organizational communications, while opening less well-known concepts such as reflexivity, and double politics as avenues for future research, this unique source book will be of interest to all scholar and advanced students of public relations and communication studies.

As one of the key thinkers of social theory, public relations scholars have repeatedly turned to Habermas’ work. This book systematically reviews the body of public relations and communication literature that has applied Habermas’ theories for the first time, to provide an extensive and nuanced discussion on what one of the most influential social theorists has to offer public relations research. Taking concepts from seminal works such as the Theory of Communicative Action and the Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere, this book explores applications of Habermas’ concepts. It confronts conflicts with Habermas’ critical understanding of public relations as moral communication, and explores indepth the concepts of moral justification and differentiation of lifeworld and system for their potential for PR research and practice. Demonstrating the applications and challenges for public relations ethics, and organizational communications while opening less well-known concepts such as reflexivity, crisis consciousness, and double politics as avenues for future research, this book will help public relations researchers harness the potential of Habermas’ methodological tools. It will be of interest to all scholars and advanced students of public relations and communication studies.

Applying Habermas in Theory and Practice

Social Theory and Public Relations Research

From the author of A People's Guide to Capitalism, a clear-eyed look at cryptocurrencies from the left, cutting through the glitz and the scams to reveal how crypto mirrors and exacerbates the crises of capitalism. 
 
Cryptocurrencies have gone from being fringe investments relevant only to hardcore adherents to a $3.7 trillion industry with a direct line to Donald Trump's White House. The promises of crypto are wide-ranging, preying on a basic reality: people are disaffected by an economic and financial system that has excluded them and wonder if cryptocurrencies can offer a more transparent and inclusive alternative. 
 
Challenge any of these notions, or raise concerns about crypto's associations with money laundering, the speculative bubbles ballooning around these assets, or the disastrous climate implications of the technology behind crypto, and you'll be told by proselytizers that you simply don't understand. That complexity is often intentional, serving as a shield from critical scrutiny. 
 
Enter Crypto-Capitalism, Hadas Thier's deft, accessible examination of the rise and fall and rise again of crypto. Drawing on years of reporting on the industry, its insiders, and the ordinary people impacted by its wild peaks and busts, Thier explains how cryptocurrencies work, elucidates the context and implications of their rise, and debunks the utopian mythology that animates their boosters. 
 
By showing that systemic exploitation and domination are inherent in a crisis-ridden capitalist economy and are matters of class power, not technology, Thier convincingly cuts through the froth and the lies of financial dystopia. Along the way, she opens up alternative avenues for imagining what economic democracy could actually look like.

The New Financial Dystopia

Crypto-Capitalism

Leading experts on greenwashing offer a playbook for achieving competitive advantage by combatting misleading claims and building trust. Greenwashing has reached epidemic proportions, and consumer confidence in business sustainability commitments is falling. Those most affected by greenwashing are genuine green firms, and companies truly committed to sustainability goals can find it hard to communicate their commitments and distinguish themselves in this sea of greenwash. These companies need to confront their rivals head on to win the trust of stakeholders. From Greenwash to Green Trust offers a new paradigm for how to gain and maintain competitive advantage in a world of exaggerated green claims. &nbsp;&nbsp;Building on more than a decade of research on greenwashing, Tom Lyon and Wren Montgomery offer a three-step approach for companies determined to rise above their greenwashing competitors:&nbsp;&nbsp; <ul> 	<li> 		Understand why trust has been broken: First, learn how greenwashing works, and hurts, in today's world.&nbsp;&nbsp; 	</li> 	<li> 		Build trust: Then, look in the mirror, acknowledge your own shortcomings, and substantiate your company's commitment to sustainability goals. 	</li> 	<li> 		Leverage trust: Finally, create powerful relationships to outcompete greenwashers and turn integrity into lasting advantage. 	</li> </ul> In the end, the message of From Greenwash to Green Trust is a positive one. While there are plenty of businesses doing the "right" thing on sustainability, with this novel strategic approach to beating greenwashing, businesses can center transparency and trust—to restore consumer confidence and support rapid growth.

How Honest Firms Win in a World of Spin

From Greenwash to Green Trust

Research shows that professional services firms can improve their approaches to attract, retain and develop their clients. However, even those firms that have invested in marketing and business development are now facing the challenges of integration of these functions along with sophisticated digital and global communications. Clients now have opportunities to research potential suppliers through a variety of channels including social media. Many of the large and medium-sized firms have global clients seeking local servicing. This book covers both strategic and tactical perspectives and processes for all involved in seeking, keeping, developing and servicing clients. The text is supported by the annual Marketing Benchmark carried out by Meridian West and the Managing Partner's Forum combined with a new, 2015, BD Benchmark of professional service practitioners. The findings, complemented with interviews with practitioners, fee-earners and clients, will underpin the practical advice and professional service examples provided by the authors. Effective Marketing and Business Development in Professional Services offers a new model of integration between marketing, business development, firm's culture and buyer behaviour. In doing so, it addresses the issues that are at the heart of professional service firms' struggle to survive and thrive in a fast-changing world market.

The Dynamic Development of Global Asset Management Industry

Studies in National Governance and Emerging Technologies

This book examines how artificial intelligence systems and their applications in security and defence are entangled with governance and policy processes in the EU. Combining concepts and insights from (critical) security studies and science and technology studies, it argues that behind the various AI-related policy initiatives in the EU are particular narratives on security and defence based on European fears of technological innovation and strategic gaps. In this respect, the book casts light on how such beliefs have become increasingly instrumentalized in the European governance dynamics, and subsequently embedded in successive policy initiatives and security and defence research programmes. It challenges conventional understandings of AI technologies as mere security and defence-enabling instruments, by providing a conceptually driven analysis of how certain visions of AI help govern and control one of the most dynamic emergent socio-technical fields. The book will appeal to all those interested in artificial intelligence, security studies, technology and European governance.&nbsp;
 
 Raluca Csernatoni is a Research Fellow at Carnegie Europe, where she works on the nexus between European defence and emerging technologies. She is also Guest Professor at the Centre for Security, Diplomacy and Strategy (CSDS), Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium, and Visiting Faculty in the Department of International Relations, Central European University, Austria.

Artificial Security and the Politics of Hype in the EU

The book argues that the Palestinian response to the challenge of promoting their cause is to extend their repertoire of public relations communication tactics. It explores the discursive strategies employed by Palestinian communication strategists, across the range of political allegiances, via public relations techniques to advance the cause of statehood. These tactics have emerged not only as the result of planned strategy but also through improvisation and informal responses to outside pressures.

The book argues that the Palestinian response to the challenge of promoting their cause is to extend their repertoire of public relations communication tactics. It explores the discursive strategies employed by Palestinian communication strategists, across the range of political allegiances, via public relations techniques to advance the cause of statehood. It also explores how the growing number of professional communicators use strategic communication to position key ‘national’ issues. These tactics have emerged not only as the result of planned strategy but also through improvisation and informal responses to outside pressures. Whether this increasing coherence and confidence arises from the growing availability of professional communication planning expertise, or the decreasing cost barriers associated with digital media, the outcome has been greater international political recognition for Palestine. By illustrating this effectiveness and symbolic coherence in the face of both poor internal mass media structures and political constraints, the Palestinian example may offer insights for other aspiring national movements and for public diplomacy.

Communicating Statehood

The go-to resource for uncovering, understanding and overcoming accent and linguistic bias in the workplace. The way you speak can determine everything from whether you get hired or promoted, to whether people listen to you in meetings. It can affect the strength of your business relationships and reputation, but also whether people think they can trust you. We hear accents loud and clear, yet often they are quietly derailing our efforts to create inclusive work environments where every voice is heard. Linguistic discrimination is still unrecognized in the great majority of Diversity, Equity &amp; Inclusion (DEI) circles, yet it underpins every type of discrimination in the workplace from race and age to gender, neurodiversity and even sexuality. It is the hidden bias that is derailing even the best DEI efforts. Accent Matters is the go-to resource for uncovering, understanding and overcoming linguistic bias in the workplace. Through fascinating stories and examples of accent bias from all over the world, you'll find out how you've been conditioned to prefer certain accents over others, and how those preferences interfere with the way you listen to and interact with those around you. For those who have accents, but especially for those who think they don't, this book will be an eye-opening journey into a fundamental bias that affects every aspect of our lives, both professionally and personally.
