The CRC Ethnobotany Desk Reference contains almost 30,000 concise ethnobotanical monographs of plant species characteristics and an inventory of claimed attributes and historical uses by cultures throughout the world-the most ambitious attempt to date to inventory plants on a global scale and match botanical information with historical and current uses.To obtain the same information about any species listed, you would have to thumb through hundreds of herbal guides, ethnobotanical manuals, and regional field guides. Sources for this index include the three largest U.S. Government ethnobotany databases, the U.S. National Park Service NPFlora plant inventory lists, and 18 leading works on the subject.

Crisis Leadership examines the challenges faced by leaders at each stage of the crisis ‘lifecycle’, and offers a unique insight into the lessons learned by people in the most challenging of situations.Anyone in a leadership position is only too aware that we live in uncertain times: disaster can strike any business, at any time, and usually without warning. Public institutions, too, face a range of threats – from global recession, resurgent terrorism and a stream of appalling natural disasters. For leaders in such organisations, these crisis situations can present both opportunities and threats. How they lead through such challenging times will propel their careers to new heights – or destroy them completely.Crisis Leadership examines the challenges faced by leaders at each stage of the crisis ‘lifecycle’, from the instant they learn of the crisis, through to moments of critical decision-making and the final tumultuous days. Tim Johnson offers a unique insight into the lessons learned by people in the most challenging of situations.Blended with operational guidance from the author’s extensive experience in crisis management, Crisis Leadership provides an overview of the crisis ‘lifecycle’, to ensure that readers will come away from this book with a deeper appreciation of the critical nature of each key stage and the leadership challenges they bring – from the first signs of an emerging crisis to dealing with the long-term consequences they can create.

A unique look at crisis leadership and the hard but invaluable lessons that can be learned in difficult and uncertain times.Our fascination with leadership runs deep and has done so for centuries – just witness the books on Nelson, Churchill and Thatcher. But what exactly are the attributes and competencies that separate those who lead effectively from those who won’t, don’t or can’t? For many people, the acid test of true leadership comes during moments of crisis, when the stakes are highest and the decisions most difficult. It’s no surprise, then, that our fascination with stories of leaders overcoming great adversity is endless. This interest has been exacerbated in recent years as every organisation in the world has found itself in a crisis at some level, whether due to a collapse in sales, an unexpected spike in demand, a logistics nightmare or the sheer uncertainty that the pandemic has wrought. Leading from the Frontline offers multiple perspectives of leadership from across multiple types of crisis. Each chapter tells the story of a leader who steered their organisation through a particularly tumultuous period. It looks at the challenges they faced, the decisions they were forced to make, the personal pressures they encountered, the lessons they learned and the mistakes they made. It also examines how the crisis they responded to subsequently changed their organisation or the environment in which they operate. Including issues of a medical, socio-political, environmental and military nature, while featuring a range of reputational crises case studies, Leading from the Frontline is essential reading for any leader to prepare their organisation for uncertain futures.
