Jenny Williams - Böcker

Hans Fallada was a drug addict, womanizer, alcoholic, jailbird and thief. Yet he was also one of the most extraordinary storytellers of the twentieth century, whose novels, including Alone in Berlin, portrayed ordinary people in terrible times with a powerful humanity.This acclaimed biography, newly revised and completely updated, tells the remarkable story of Hans Fallada, whose real name was Rudolf Ditzen. Jenny Williams chronicles his turbulent life as a writer, husband and father, shadowed by mental torment and long periods in psychiatric care. She shows how Ditzen's decision to remain in Nazi Germany in 1939 led to his self-destruction, but also made him a unique witness to his country's turmoil.More Lives Than One unpicks the contradictory, flawed and fascinating life of a writer who saw the worst of humanity, yet maintained his belief in the decency of the 'little man'.

The education system should be in the forefront of the battle to combat racial inequality. The contributors to this book, however, argue that, far from reducing racial inequality, the education system in the UK systematically generates, maintains and reproduces it. Through careful consideration of the complex and pervasive nature of racism (and the practices it gives rise to) the contributors draw attention to the failure of the contemporaneous multicultural education theories and policies. The contributors’ concerns are with: the role of the state in sustaining and legitimating racial inequalities in education; black students’ experiences of racism in schools and post-school training schemes; and proposals for the realization of genuine and effective antiracist education principles.

The Map is a practical guidebook introducing the basics of research in translation studies for students doing their first major research project in the field. Depending on where they are studying, this may be at advanced undergraduate (BA) or at postgraduate (MA/PHD) level.The book consists of ten chapters. Chapter 1 offers an overview of 12 research areas in translation studies in order to help students identify a topic and establish some of the current research questions relating to it. Chapter 2 is designed to assist students in planning their research project and covers topics such as refining the initial idea, determining the scope of the project, checking out resources, reading critically, keeping complete bibliographic records, and working with a supervisor. Chapters 3 to 7 provide some of the conceptual and methodological tools needed in this area of research, with detailed discussion of such topics as theoretical models of translation, types of research, asking questions, making claims, formulating hypotheses, establishing relations between variables, and selecting and analyzing data. Chapters 8 and 9 are about presenting one's research, in writing as well as orally. Finally, chapter 10 deals with some of the criteria commonly used in research assessment, especially in the assessment of theses. The authors provide detailed guidance on further reading throughout.This is an essential reference work for research students and lecturers involved in supervising research projects and degrees.

What if the real problem isn’t that you doubt yourself, but that no one ever taught you how to use doubt well?Doubt is often treated as a weakness in leadership. Something to overcome, hide, or silence. Yet whether it shows up as self-doubt or imposter syndrome, doubt carries insight that leaders can’t afford to ignore.In Brilliant Doubt, executive coach Jenny Williams reframes doubt as a critical leadership signal. When understood and used well, it leads to better decisions, stronger collaboration and more effective leadership in complex organizations, particularly in a world where uncertainty and change are constant.The book introduces three forms of Professional Doubt - self, situational and systemic - shaped by the pressures and realities of modern organizational life. When leaders learn to read doubt rather than push past it, they gain greater clarity, confidence and impact.At the heart of the book is Active Doubt, a practical approach that helps leaders turn hesitation into insight, uncertainty into movement, and questions into meaningful action.Brilliant Doubt is for leaders who want to navigate uncertainty with courage and intelligence and who are ready to turn doubt into a strategic advantage.All change starts with a doubt.
