Not having given birth I am not sure I can comment on that! What I do know is that the book becomes a little like a child you care about. You have invested time and effort and are keen to see it flourish and become useful. The good news is that a book I co-authored a few years ago is now being published in its\u2019 second edition ( Lewis, S., Passmore,J. and Cantore,S. (2016) Appreciative Inquiry for Change Management, 2nd ed. London: Kogan Page). This is good news because it means plenty of people have bought it and the publishers are keen to sell more. It is a business after all!<br \/>\nAny students are welcome to come along to the launch event which is being held at the University of Winchester ( for details follow the link) on 3rd November starting at 6.30 pm. There is a mini-bus service from the Highfield campus to the School of Art from where it is a ten minute walk. So if you want to find out more about positive approaches to organisational change and enjoy networking at a book launch you will be very welcome.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.winchester.ac.uk\/newsandevents\/eventscalendar\/Pages\/Positive-approaches-to-Organisational-Change.aspx\">http:\/\/www.winchester.ac.uk\/newsandevents\/eventscalendar\/Pages\/Positive-approaches-to-Organisational-Change.aspx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Free Shuttle Bus Information:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.southampton.ac.uk\/wsa\/about\/wsa-transport.page\">http:\/\/www.southampton.ac.uk\/wsa\/about\/wsa-transport.page<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is sometimes said that writing a book is a bit like giving birth.
