Geological Society of London Handbook Series Edited by Keith Cox Founded in 1807, the Geological Society of London has been publishing since 1845 and now distributes its journal to Fellows throughout the world. This handbook is published as part of a series of authoritative practical guides to field geology. The Field Description of Igneous Rocks Written to complement textbooks on igneous petrology, this handbook equips the student with all the information required to study igneous rocks in the field. It deals with observations from the scale of hand specimens and outcrops to regional mapping of field relationships. Igneous rocks range from volcanic rocks erupted at the Earth's surface to plutonic rocks which crystallised at depth within the Earth,and the techniques to study these differ from those used for the field study in other volumes in this series. "…its genuine "handbook" size, flexible cover and realistic price should make it an affordable part of field equipment for all geology students." —R. A. Howie, Mineralogical Magazine

On few occasions in the history of modern management have leadership skills been in such sharp focus as they are now. The ability to direct often very large and diverse organizations; to make sense of the complex and turbulent markets and environments in which you operate; and to adapt and learn seems at an all time premium. The premise behind the fifth edition of this influential Handbook is that leadership, management and organizational development are all parts of the same process; enhancing the capacity of organizations, whatever their size, and the people within them to achieve their purpose. To this end, the editors have brought together a who's who of current writers on leadership and development and created the definitive single volume guide to the subject. The perspectives that the text provides to leadership, learning and development, embrace the formal and the informal, cultures and case examples from organizations of all kinds; and offers readers a rigorous, readable and, where appropriate, ground-breaking book. In the 14 years since the fourth edition of this classic book, very much has changed. But the need for this Handbook is as strong as ever and the Fifth Edition of Gower Handbook of Leadership and Management Development is set to become a definitive read for senior managers and those who develop them and an essential reader for the management students aspiring to become the next generation of leaders.
