Excerpt from Sprigs of Heather IN presenting this enlarged and illustrated edition to All people that on earth do dwell, I would respectfully remark that in it I have endeavoured to combine the amusing and instructive. Possibly the serio-comic aspect of things in general pre dominates in it, but I daresay most people will substantiate my assertion, that there are already of books composed entirely of sentiment enough and to spare. I heartily hope that when my readers have devoured philosophical and other kindred works to their hearts' content, they may, turning to Sprigs of Heather, find therein a wholesome, palatable, and easily digested dessert.

Excerpt from Here and There at Tufts In editing a book, of ihe character of the present publication we believe that a long-felt want of the college has been met. Tufts has reached that point in her history where the many traditions and events of student life and activities should be suitably recorded, and we hope that the book has fulfilled these conditions; that it will not only awaken fond memories of former days, but also inspire all with the hope of future accomplishment.

Book Description
Deborah Digges's third and best book of poems has been hailed by The New Yorker as "an outstanding collection, " and by Mark Doty as "so exhilarating that even its darkest notes shine with a strange joy." Her subjects range from the graffiti with which a street gang mourns a dead comrade to aples"three red, one golden, like a flower."

Book Description
Expert Help for the Special Challenges of Managing Other Leaders Whether you were born a leader or have had leadership thrust upon you, you’re in for a whole new set of challenges when managing other leaders. Think of the qualities that have brought you to a leadership role: your vision, confidence, and charisma, or perhaps your experience, unique skills, expertise, or network of powerful allies. Now remind yourself that other leaders share some or all of these qualities with you. The leaders you are called upon to lead may be other executives, highly educated experts, investors, board members, government officials, doctors, lawyers, or other professionals. The potential contributions of these elites to any organization are vital, but the likelihood of friction is also high if you don’t manage relationships carefully. In any case, they are people with significant resources -- and strong opinions. How do you leverage the assets of the talented and powerful while making sure that egos remain unbruised? Leading Leaders breaks the challenge down into the Seven Daily Tasks of Leadership, and shows you how to carry out each task when you have to manage other leaders. The seven tasks and the special challenges they entail in leading leaders are: 1. Direction How do you negotiate a vision for the organization that other leaders will buy into? 2. Integration How do you make stars a team? 3. Mediation How do you resolve conflicts over turf and power among other leaders so the organization can move forward? 4. Education How do you educate people who think they are already educated? 5. Motivation How do you move other leaders who already seem “to have everything” to do the right thing for the organization? 6. Representation How do you lead your organization’s outside constituents while still leading leaders inside? 7. Trust Creation How do you gain and keep other leaders’ trust, the vital capital that your own leadership depends on? Drawing on the author’s own leadership experience as well as his research in the corporate, political, academic, and professional worlds, Leading Leaders answers these questions with a clear set of effective rules for all managers to follow in successfully leading other leaders.
