The Deverill Chronicles

THE BRAND NEW NOVEL FROM THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING AUTHOR

THE BRAND NEW NOVEL FROM THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING AUTHOR

Montefiore S: The Distant Shores: Volume
5 / B

The Distant Shores: Volume 5

Family secrets and enduring love – from the Number One bestselling author (The Deverill Chronicles, 5)

This cutting-edge collection is a riposte to the deep assumption that law should be written exclusively for and by the reasonable person, as the person to whom law is addressed and by reference to whom laws are designed and calibrated. The book looks at how the social dimension of the human experience is central to human existence: connections with other people shape our lives in profound ways. While law confers formal status on certain relationships and intervenes to remedy serious injustices that occur, it does not generally concern itself with the individual as a person formed through those and other relationships. It is most often addressed to the individual, on the assumption that individuals are rational autonomous agents. It poses a deep challenge to that assumption. First, the collection opens space for conversation on the social dimension of the human experience in the context of law by critically considering existing conceptual tools that could support such a conversation, e.g., community, solidarity, associations,collective rights, and cosmopolitan law. Second, the collection takes an inventory of the extent to which law currently takes the social dimension of personhood into account in fields as diverse as criminal culpability, natural resources law, human rights, company lawand administrative justice. In moving beyond the fields that have already been the subject of post-individualist and post-autonomy discourse, such as family law and medical law, this collection is a vital contribution to igniting a broader conversation about the relationship between the sociable person and the law.

Recognising and Regulating the Social Dimension of the Human Experience

The Sociable Person and the Law

How apprenticeship shaped the English economy Apprenticeship dominated training and skill formation in early modern Europe. Years spent learning from a skilled master were a nearly universal experience for young workers in crafts and trade. In England, when apprenticeship reached its peak, as many as a third of all teenage males would serve and learn as apprentices. In The Market for Skill, Patrick Wallis shows how apprenticeship helped reshape the English economy. Some historians see apprenticeship as a key ingredient in the industrial revolution; others agree with Adam Smith in seeing it as wasteful and conservative. Wallis shows that neither of these perspectives is entirely accurate. He offers a new account of apprenticeship and the market for skill in England, analyzing the records of hundreds of thousands of individual apprentices to tell the story of how apprenticeship worked and how it contributed to the transformation of England. Wallis details the activities of apprentices and masters, the strategies of ambitious parents, the interventions of guilds and the decisions of town officials. He shows how the system of early modern apprenticeship contributed to the growth of cities, the movement of workers from farms to manufacturing and the spread of new technologies and productive knowledge. In this groundbreaking study, Wallis argues that apprenticeship succeeded precisely because it was a flexible institution which allowed apprentices to change their minds and exit contracts early. Apprenticeship provided a vital channel for training that families could trust and that was accessible to most young people, whatever their background.

Apprenticeship and Economic Growth in Early Modern England

Very Slowly All at Once

“This book changed my life and has ignited transformation in leaders, teams, and organizations around the world. Meet these pages with an open heart and an open mind, and the possibilities for how you live and lead with clarity and courage are truly limitless.” —BRENÉ BROWN, PhD, author of Dare to Lead and Strong Ground The word-of-mouth phenomenon that transformed how we lead and live Most leaders don’t realize they’re operating on autopilot—reacting defensively, managing through fear, and fueling workplace drama. The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership offers a groundbreaking framework, adopted by top companies from Silicon Valley to Wall Street, for reshaping how people work together. It is radically simple: at any moment, we can choose to lead consciously—open, curious, and self-aware—or unconsciously—closed, fearful, and reactive. Originally self-published and shared among executives and coaches, The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership quickly became a favorite in boardrooms and beyond. Drawing upon decades of experience, the authors distill conscious leadership into fifteen actionable commitments—from taking radical responsibility to feeling all feelings—that replace command-and-control style management with curiosity, accountability, and connection. The result? Conscious leaders who unlock the full potential of every member of their team and free them from institutional politics so they can do the best work of their lives. Blending practical tools with real-world stories, this enduring classic is more than a guide for better management—it’s a roadmap to a more authentic, fulfilling life.

A New Paradigm for Sustainable Success

The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership

Make better high-stakes decisions in uncertainty by developing the 3 agilities (emotional, cognitive, and navigational) needed to lead when no clear answers exist. Today's leaders face a difficult challenge: They must make high-stakes decisions before they have enough information to know whether those choices will succeed. Organizations operate in a BANI world, one that is brittle, anxious, nonlinear, and increasingly difficult to predict. Yet many leaders continue to make strategic decisions using mental models built for a more stable era. This book reveals why leaders often narrow their options under pressure, mistake activity for impact, and seek certainty when ambiguity demands something different. Executive coach Karin Blair shows that the quality of strategic decisions depends less on what leaders know and more on what they can hold without reacting, oversimplifying, or forcing premature resolution. Through a powerful framework built around 3 interconnected agilities, readers learn how to <ul><li>build emotional agility to stay grounded under pressure,</li><li>develop cognitive agility to hold competing perspectives and challenge assumptions, and</li><li>strengthen navigational agility to sustain commitment when results remain uncertain.</li></ul> Filled with practical leadership insights and real-world examples, this book helps leaders expand their decision field, choose coherence over relief, and create strategies that compound into meaningful long-term impact.

King Lear, Retold

Dunbar

A charred notebook, rescued from a long-forgotten fire, becomes an unlikely piece of evidence and catalyst to help unravel a century-old mystery.

When he was a child, the author first encountered the fragile remains of his great-grandmother Armina's notebook - an object so damaged and incomplete it seemed meaningless. Passed down through generations, its brittle, charred pages held only fragments, offering no clear story. Yet its quiet presence lingered, a puzzle waiting to be solved.

Years later, a chance discovery in the walls of a Missouri home would transform that childhood curiosity into a decades-long investigation. A hidden newspaper from 1892 revealed that Armina was not simply the kind and loving figure remembered in family lore, but the central figure in a sensational murder trial that captured national and international attention. Accused of killing her young stepdaughter and ultimately acquitted, her story had been scattered across archives and forgotten records for over a century.

Driven by the mystery of the burned notebook and the shadow it cast over his family's past, the author embarks on a meticulous reconstruction of the events surrounding that tragic day. Drawing from historical accounts, newspaper reports, and years of research, he pieces together a gripping narrative of suspicion, family conflict, and justice in Gilded Age America.

This is the story of a girl whose life was nearly erased, a crime that shocked a nation, and the enduring power of history to survive - even when the pages meant to preserve it have turned to ash.
