Download or read book Taming the Big Green Elephant written by Ariel Macaspac Hernández and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this open access publication it is shown, that sustainable low carbon development is a transformative process that constitutes the shifting from the initially chosen or taken pathway to another pathway as goals have been re-visited and revised to enable the system to adapt to changes. However, shifting entails transition costs that are accrued through the effects of lock-ins that have framed decisions and collective actions. The uncertainty about these costs can be overwhelming or even disruptive. This book aims to provide a comprehensive and integrated analytical framework that promotes the understanding of transformation towards sustainability. The analysis of this book is built upon negotiative perspectives to help define, design, and facilitate collective actions in order to execute the principles of sustainability. Dr Dr Ariel Macaspac Hernandez is currently a researcher at the German Development Institute belonging to the research cluster knowledge cooperation and environmental governance. He was/is also a lecturer on negotiations, conflict and resource management, sustainability politics, environmental governance, climate change policies, development aid and sustainable energy systems in various universities in Germany, Philippines, Jamaica, Estonia, Spain and Mexico.
Download or read book Don t Think of an Elephant written by George Lakoff and published by Scribe Publications. This book was released on 2005 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don't Think of An Elephant is the antidote to decades of conservative strategising and the right's stranglehold on political dialogue. More specifically, it is the definitive handbook for understanding and communicating effectively about key social and political issues. George Lakoff explains in detail exactly how the right has managed to co-opt traditional values in order to popularise its political agenda. He also provides examples of how the centre-left can address the community's core values and re-frame political debate to establish a civil discourse that reinforces progressive positions. Don't Think of An Elephant provides a compelling linguistic analysis of political campaigning. But, more importantly, it demonstrates that real political values and ideas must provide the foundation for political progress by the centre-left.

Book excerpt: How can an internal service providers create value? How can you add value when you don’t have “real” clients? Whether IT, HR, finance, legal, logistics or other, internal service providers are being asked to step to the plate and become value creators. But how? Why are some internal service providers considered strategic partners while others are merely cost centres? Why some ISP seem to have limitless budgets while others fight for every penny they have? Personality: the most powerful way to look at internal service providers and the value they add. And it all starts with four personality profiles: the Accountant, the Butler, the Nanny and the Agent. Personality plays a role in every type of daily actions, from how your service team handles user requests, from the way you manage projects to the employees you hire. And by aligning your personality to the need of the organization, you can become a real strategic partner. To explore and explain the role personality plays in every day action, Simon Chapleau looks beyond internal service providers, delving into behavioural and social studies, psychology and marketing, as well as conducting in-depth interviews with internal service providers that succeeded at becoming value creators. Chapleau reveals why a majority of spouses are surprised by their partner’s decision to divorce, and why you shouldn’t trust your intuition when evaluating the status of your relationships. What differentiates successful dieters from the others (hint, they start their day in a very bad way). And why giving great service isn’t enough to satisfy your users. Whether you realize it or not, you are already an Accountant, a Butler a Nanny or an Agent. The question is, are you playing to your strengths and are you aligned with what the organization expects of you. This book will show you.

Download or read book Handbook of Cannabis for Clinicians Principles and Practice written by Dustin Sulak DO and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2021-06-29 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first foundational text on the clinical use of cannabis and cannabinoid therapies. Despite thousands of years of medical use and an impressive record of safety, versatility, and efficacy, Cannabis sativa has existed outside the modern pharmacopeia since the 1940s. Primarily driven by popular demand, this botanical has returned to health care, but most clinicians lack the knowledge essential for identifying candidates for treatment, guiding patients, maximizing benefit, and minimizing harm. Dustin Sulak provides health care professionals—including physicians, psychologists, pharmacists, and nurses—with an accessible and evidence-based reference that empowers them to intelligently discuss cannabis with their patients and implement cannabis and cannabinoid therapies with confidence. Based on over a decade of clinical experience and an extensive review of the literature, this detailed and scientifically accurate guide includes the history of cannabis in medicine, the foundations of endocannabinoid physiology, the pharmacological effects of cannabis’ myriad active constituents, the clinical utility of its various preparations, and specific strategies and cautions for treating the most common conditions presenting to a cannabis clinician. This guide is an essential resource for practitioners of any specialty field or experience level who wish to improve their patients’ outcomes, harness the healing potential of the endocannabinoid system, and wield a powerful solution to many of healthcare’s challenges.
