This book is a friendly, simple, comprehensive, easy-to-use workbook desig ned to assist the suburban household in understanding and preparing for a potential failure of the public utility grid. The grid - the automated infrastructure Americans depend on every day to deliver electricity, water, and natural gas to our homes and businesses may be in serious jeopardy as a result of the millennium bug. The book tells how to prepare for a minimum of a one month service disruption - including what to buy, where to get it, and how to test and use it. The book also gives suggestions on how to prepare more extensively, if desired. Many preparedness books on the market have been written for rural families, are threatening and scary, or tend to be complicated and overwhelming. Feedback from readers of Whatcha Gonna Do... suggests that many people read the entire book within a few days, and that they appreciate the well-organized action plans and spiral notebook format which enables them to quickly and easily take action to prepare their households. While the book was designed for individuals new to the preparedness movement, and to be of particular interest to women; it has received positive response from men, many couples have read it together, and veterans of the survivalist movement have endorsed it for its completeness and innovative ideas. The book is especially helpful for people who have heard about the millennium bug, but do not understand its potential implications. Because the book is easy to read, and humorous at times, it has also proven beneficial for individuals who are afraid to learn more abo ut the Year 2000. Many people have purchased the book as gifts for family members who have been hesitant to prepare or to consider preparing.

Collaborative School Leadership investigates how and why more collaboration is taking place in a wide range of settings in the UK, South Africa, New Zealand, China, the USA, the Seychelles, Tanzania and Greece, and considers the implications for leadership and the overall effectiveness of schools. David Middlewood, Ian Abbott and Sue Robinson explore various models of collaboration, considering their strengths, weaknesses and how they affect school leadership, including: · executive leadership · school-to-school collaboration · federations · alliances · academy chains.
 The supportive structure of each chapter, with bullet point introduction, case studies, points of reflection, further reading and summaries, guides the reader and supports learning. Drawing on research, the authors identify the key areas for consideration, addressing questions such as: · Where does leadership reside in collaborating partnerships? · Who exactly are the leaders? · What impact does this leadership have on others –staff, parents, governors, learners? · What kind of leadership development is desirable? They look at the fact that the skills and approaches used by leaders of single schools are not automatically transferable to the leadership of several schools and propose possible ways forward for leadership and consider potential implications for education systems as a whole. They provide both an invaluable insight and also a practical guide for the school leaders of tomorrow.
