With nearly 600 years of history, involving plots, intrigue and paranormal activity, it is surprising that no one has ever before written the definitive history of the Rye House in Hertfordshire. The Rye House aims to do just that. Through meticulous research, Phil Holland has written this fascinating account, taking the reader from the House's fifteenth-century origins, through to Tudor times when Catherine Parr spent part of her childhood there; to the Rye House Plot of 1683-a plan to assassinate King Charles II and the Duke of York; to the widely reported paranormal activity and apparitions; and finally to the present day. The Gatehouse is all that now remains of the fifteenth-century brick-built fortified manor. It is a Grade I listed building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument and as such is protected by law. The Moated Enclosure is considered to be one of the finest examples of the period in Hertfordshire. It is hoped that this book will enthuse people about the Gatehouse and the history of the Rye House, and that they in turn will come to treasure the building and recognize its importance as a piece of our country's history.

The authors of Organisation Development put the art of everyday interaction at the center of organization development, explored through narratives and fiction. They give confidence to those who are tired of frameworks and tools that do not relate to their daily practice and ask: "e;is it just me, or...?"e; Important clues for practice and theory can be found in exploring everyday interactions. It is in the detail, for example the corridor conversation with a senior director, that things can be said that affect the lives of many. Organization development never stops or starts. It is a continuing series of interactions in which we have choices. These choices are creative and artful as well as practical and ethical, and the authors show how any of us might weigh these complex balances and move forward. There is a noticeable current of 'process philosophy' running through the book that pays attention to the nature of connection, flow and how our understanding comes to develop over time. The authors therefore challenge the received building blocks of organization development. They put the curious, reflexive individual at the heart of their own development. This book is written for those who are keen to develop their practice from the ground up and who are looking for inspiration to take their own experience seriously.

There is increasing recognition within the NHS that quality improvement methodologies such as Lean, Six Sigma, Theory of Constraints and Experienced Based Co-design can significantly improve patient flow, patient pathways and clinical and administrative processes that lead to better quality outcomes and experiences for patients. Financial savings and improved use of scarce resources can be additional benefits. Given the pressures on the NHS in terms of shrinking funding, aging demographics, technology and increasing patient demand, we believe that helping those on the front line understand how to use QI methodologies well is vital service / offer.We are not seeking to add to the sizeable number of books and papers on specific methods and toolkits. Instead our intent is to draw attention to, and challenge, a number of what we believe are unhelpful patterns in the application of QI that limits their practical application. We have noticed an over dependency or slavish adherence to a particular toolkit or methodology. Advocates of particular QI methodologies can be more ready to parade their own expertise than to inquire into other approaches. Becoming a disciple of one approach can lead to QI being seen as a special interest group or even a cult which means the potential value they have to offer is ignored by the mainstream. In addition, there can be insufficient attention to paid to understanding relationships, the need to adapt to fit the context and the personal challenge of initiating changes to practice.In terms of the four leadership domains that comprise the curriculum of Generation Q, this book will start with the technical domain but argue that success only comes through paying attention to and integrating QI toolkits and methods with the contextual, relational and personal leadership domains.We use the word ‘argue' but in fact our intention is to share powerful , real life stories told in the main by the NHS leaders who have been Fellows on GenerationQ. In sharing their stories we will be answering some of the many questions we know Leaders often have when wanting to introduce and benefit from QI methods.
