I’m reading “Leadership and the New Science” by Margaret Wheatley at the moment. It’s a fascinating read, taking in the breadth of new sciences from quantum physics to chaos theory. I like the way she begins and ends each chapter with a vivid image, and piece of descriptive writing.
I’ve given a web-link to her website where she has posted a whole stack of articles which she has written. I’m going to browse through these over the coming weeks. Worth a look, I think.
I have just worked out how to get images into my blog. So, I am posting details of the first two booklets that I published last year, together with images from the covers. If you are interested in seeing these booklets drop me an email (email address here). I’ve also put these details on a new blog which will cover details of launch dates for new booklets, extracts etc. (bluewaterbooks)

‘umbrian images’ (bw002) 36 pages
a sequence of poems reflecting on a holiday in Italy, which captures both the sense of location and the wonder of the Italian language. The poems included in this collection also capture Assisi just weeks before an earthquake destroyed frescoes and buildings.
