This book is a collection of oral stories from members of an African American family called the Hanna, Heastie, Tynes, who originated on a Bahama Island settlement called Pompey Bay, which is almost uninhabited today. The family traces their origins to three men (John Hanna, George Heastie, and Benjamin Tynes) who were settlers on Acklins Island, and the slaves who worked there in the late 1700s. Due to the isolated nature of the island, the people living there intermarried and became a proud, loving, tightknit family, who thrived and passed down family values through the generations. This book includes memories of everyday life experiences from some of the family members who lived on Acklins and later migrated to Miami, Florida. Today, the family has grown and spread to other Bahama Islands, the U. S. and other parts of the world. As a result of these stories, we have a glimpse of what life was like so many years ago.

Even the greatest leaders get distracted by the less meaningful details of daily life and lose sight of what is important. At their worst, we see leaders get way off course and rationalize unethical or illegal activity, and at their best, we see leaders distracted by the day-to-day minutia, losing sight of the dynamic vision that drives their success. They need a quick reminder to serve as a "true north" and keep on track. Leading with Courage: Daily Reminders for the Decision Maker is an opportunity to spend a few minutes in the busy day reminding yourself of the personal and professional things that matter and the impact your decisions have on others.

Boken ger både studenter och nyblivna forskare de redskap som behövs för att skapa goda forskningsvanor och för att undvika olika fallgropar. Författaren tar upp en rad forskningsteman, allt från val av undersökningstema, problemformulering, litteratursökning och referenshantering till rapportskrivning. Även etiska frågor, plagiat, sociala media och forskningsverktyg online behandlas. Boken är på så sätt en utmärkt introduktion för både nybörjare och mer avancerade studenter i ämnen som pedagogik, sociologi och hälso- och vårdvetenskap. Denna nya upplaga av Introduktion till forskningsmetodik har uppdaterats på ett genomgripande sätt men behållit sitt tydliga och begripliga språk och de konkreta riktlinjer som man ska tänka på i samband med olika undersökningar.
