A fresh, provocative portrait of the young woman who almost ended the American Revolution. Philadelphia in the 1770s. Peggy Shippen longs for the war she's living through to end. Though not always appreciated at home, she finds her curiosity is welcomed by a lively and influential circle of friends, including a glamorous rising star in the British army, Captain John Andr . When the war separates them, Peggy is devastated--both by his absence and the horrors of ongoing conflict--before finding consolation in a man whose heroics for the Patriots have captured the world's imagination: General Benedict Arnold. As she trades Loyalist balls for Patriot salons, entertaining the most prominent figures of early America, and navigating the country's lethal political currents, she conceives of an audacious scheme to achieve peace and her family's survival, unleashing what would become the most famous act of treason in history. When uncertainty and bloodshed are the only constants, Mrs. Benedict Arnold asks, how far will one woman go for safety?

Demonstrating how impact can be created and derived from doctoral programmes, this book focuses on their influence on academic knowledge, policy and practice. Significantly, it highlights the crucial impact of these programmes on the individual and the enduring consequences of this. Drawing on their extensive experience and conversations with stakeholders in doctoral education from around the world, and incorporating real case examples, the authors provide practical guidance throughout the book which enables readers to enhance the design of new and existing doctoral programmes for greater impact. Each chapter ends with questions to stimulate reflection on the readers’ experience of impact from doctoral education. The concluding chapter outlines a manifesto for enhancing and ensuring impact from doctoral research in the future. With insights into the impact of doctoral programmes on individual researchers, this book will be essential reading for scholars of management education, as well as being a valuable resource for Higher Education administrators and senior academics around the world tasked with increasing impact from their doctoral programmes.

Over the past decade much attention has been paid to the apparent differences in consumption preferences or workplace attitudes and behaviours across generations. Within Western economies such as the USA, UK and Australia, it is commonly assumed that that there are now four generations in the workplace, namely Veterans (born 1925-1942), Baby Boomers (1943-1960), Generation X (1961-1981) and Generation Y (1982- 2000) The concept of generational differences at work is one that has recently been adopted by practitioners as a basis on which to design human resource management and career management practices. However, there has been some concern in academic circles about the validity of the notion of generations and the evidence base that supports it. There is therefore a need for new perspectives and methodological approaches to investigating generational differences at work in order to establish the validity and value of generations as an axis of diversity. Generational Diversity at Work: New Research Perspectives will address this need by presenting and discussing research into generational diversity that adopts a range of new theoretical perspectives or methodological approaches. This book is designed as a first step in addressing the need to critically examine the theoretical and empirical basis for generational differences and to provide some new empirical data in this area.

The worldwide financial crash and the ensuing recession have coincided with other significant long term changes for the Western Economies of Europe and the USA, especially the growing strength of newly developed economies, demographic and technological change, institutional crises and political uncertainty. The interconnected nature of businesses and societies mean the competitive landscape is being transformed, and new economic pressures and opportunities are producing new business models, a rebalancing of economies, and a new HRM. The application of new technology to the processes and systems of people management is spreading, in a world where competitive advantage is increasingly about how smart the management processes are, and how well people are managed. This text is the first book to analyse the way these contextual pressures are producing a game change in the human resource function of management. For anyone who has an HR role or is a line manager, or a student of management, and for those who teach, research or consult in the field, this book encapsulates these critically important trends and what they mean for managing people in the 21st Century.
