Toward 'socially constructive' social constructions of leadership
No full textIn their introductory editorial essay for this special issue, David Grant and Gail Fairhurst have done us a great service by valiantly producing a "Sailing Guide" to the Social Construction of Leadership (Fairhurst & Grant, 2010). As with rounding the Capes, this is not a task for the faint of heart. A sailing guide is designed to provide vital knowledge about a particular sea or coast, providing us with charts, warnings about potential hazards and an indication where we might find safe havens in a storm. Their sailing guide does this to great effect as it skilfully "boxes the compass" by revealing all of the potential directions that one might set one‟s sail by if one was sufficiently foolhardy to embark on a cruise of the social construction of leadership
Agronomic trait and floral resource data
No full textMass-flowering crops, such as oilseed rape (OSR; Brassica napus), provide pulses of nectar and pollen helping to support pollinators and their pollination services, in agricultural landscapes. Despite their value to declining pollinators, varietal in-field OSR testing focusses on agronomic traits with floral resources being largely overlooked. OSR has a high varietal turnover, and consequently, floral resource data collected for a specific variety quickly becomes redundant. Here we explore the potential to predict floral resource availability using agronomic trait data routinely collected in varietal trials. To build predictive models, we investigated the relationships between agronomic traits and pollen and nectar availability in 19 OSR varieties. Nectar quality was positively influenced by early vigour and winter hardiness in conventional varieties, and stem stiffness in hybrid varieties. Pollen quantity was driven by different traits with early maturation having a negative impact in conventional varieties and resistance to lodging having a positive impact in hybrid varieties. Our study highlights that we can predict floral resources using agronomic trait data enabling the rapid assessment of these key resources in future OSR varieties, without costly sampling. Agronomic traits relating to increased nectar quality were also agro-nomically favourable, indicating benefits to both pollinators and growers. The inclusion of modelled floral resource data in recommended varietal lists will enable growers to make informed decisions about varietal selection based on local pollinator populations
Gail Buckley: Black America at War: From George Washington to George Bush
No full textGail Buckley is a best-selling author and historian.
Her first book, The Hornes: An American Family, is an inspired history of Buckley’s mother, musical legend Lena Horne, and her family. Buckley traces the Hornes’ roots from the post-Civil War Reconstruction era up to the present day, writing with great insight about a family with ties to every major event in the United States during the past 150 years.
Buckley is a chronicler of “undiscovered American history – the people and events that are left out of the textbooks.” Buckley’s new book, The Black Calhouns (released February 2016), follows her family history from the Civil War to Civil Rights, starting with her great-great grandfather Moses Calhoun, a slave-turned-businessman
