Originally published in 1972, this pioneering book has become a classic in visual anthropology. Worth and Adair set out to answer the question, What would happen if someone from a culture that makes and uses motion pictures taught people who have never made or used motion pictures to do so for the first time? They taught filmmaking and editing to a group of six Navajos in Pinetree, Arizona. This book explains what happened, what they and the Navajos said and thought about what happened, and how they analyzed the films in a cultural context. The films, still available for rent, are described in detail and illustrated with still photographs. 
Richard Chalfen, a research assistant on the original project in 1966, has updated the book with a thorough discussion of the importance of the Navajo project and a critical assessment of the reactions to it.

With the rapid trend away from management to business leadership, there is a need for a new, broader understanding of leadership.This clear and authoritative guide answers the questions, `what is strategic leadership?`, `what makes a person effective as a strategic leader?` and `how can I develop my abilities as a leader?` The concept of leadership is relevant not only to organisational life but to all of us: everyone has to `lead` their own life. To be a strategic life-leader means developing a vision and direction for one`s life, identifying personal core values and fostering an informal team among colleagues and associates.`Effective Strategic Leadership` is as important for unstructured careers as it is in large companies or organisations.

John Hampden was cousin to Oliver Cromwell and, had he not met an untimely death in 1643, from a wound received at the battle of Chalgrove Field in the first year of the Civil War, might well have achieved similar fame in English history both as a military commander and as the natural successor to John Pym. John Hampden was the first member of the House of Commons to achieve a truly national popularity. John Adair describes the character of this sturdily independent man. Hampden was known and admired for his easy and pleasant personality, his scholarly and practical interests and the care he took over the education of his own children and of those entrusted to him. Scholar, soldier and statesman, he was as adept on the battlefield as he was brilliant in parliament. John Adair vividly portrays the qualities of the man whom so many new simply as "The Patriot".
