Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This insightful guide showcases a new psychological framework through which business leaders can transform themselves and their organizations. "Most managers," author Stephen C. Harper writes, "do not understand what is involved in transforming organizations." His book, The Ever-Evolving Enterprise: Guidelines for Creating Your Company's Future, is intended to remedy that, focusing on ten areas proactive business leaders must address as they guide their companies through everyday activities and into the future. The book stresses the need for firms to evolve to remain in sync with an ever-changing marketplace. It explores the multifaceted nature of transformational leadership and offers specific guidelines, ideas, and techniques leaders can institute to seize new opportunities and develop innovative products and services that offer sustainable competitive advantages. But it also invites executives to take a closer look at how they lead their firms, promoting a fresh psychological framework that will keep business leaders—and their companies—anticipatory, perceptive, agile, innovative, results-oriented, and able to execute so that their visions become realities.

Download or read book Exploring Ancient Skies written by David H. Kelley and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-12-06 with total page 623 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring Ancient Skies brings together the methods of archaeology and the insights of modern astronomy to explore the science of astronomy as it was practiced in various cultures prior to the invention of the telescope. The book reviews an enormous and growing body of literature on the cultures of the ancient Mediterranean, the Far East, and the New World (particularly Mesoamerica), putting the ancient astronomical materials into their archaeological and cultural contexts. The authors begin with an overview of the field and proceed to essential aspects of naked-eye astronomy, followed by an examination of specific cultures. The book concludes by taking into account the purposes of ancient astronomy: astrology, navigation, calendar regulation, and (not least) the understanding of our place and role in the universe. Skies are recreated to display critical events as they would have appeared to ancient observers - events such as the supernova of 1054, the 'lion horoscope' or the 'Star of Bethlehem.' Exploring Ancient Skies provides a comprehensive overview of the relationships between astronomy and other areas of human investigation. It will be useful as a reference for scholars and students in both astronomy and archaeology, and will be of compelling interest to readers who seek a broad understanding of our collective intellectual history.

Book excerpt: Step into the dark, seamy world of drug addiction, distrust, disloyalty, and greed and witness firsthand its destructive and tragic effects. Robert and Teresa Gilcriss, an upscale suburban couple, have all that life has to offer including two sons, Godfrey and Reginald, and are the envy of their peers. However, their lives tragically fall apart despite their good looks, material possessions, wealth, social status, and prominence. Robert, a successful attorney in a nationally known law firm who is diagnosed with acute depression, and Teresa, a socialite, terminate their marriage due to irreconcilable differences. Robert's downward spiral begins immediately after with the loss of his powerful position to a fellow attorney, Tony Gonzo, for whom he develops an intense hatred and is followed by his abrupt resignation. Robert and Teresa develop other relationships and eventually marry their newfound partners, whom they summarily divorce. Following an extraordinary string of events, Teresa marries Tony Gonzo, whom she divorces upon Robert's instigation, and graduates from law school. Years later, the Gilcrisses gradually bring their lives back on track by remarrying and settling into a successful law firm owned by Teresa. Robert suddenly and shockingly confesses to Teresa that he is a drug addict and has no love for her despite their remarriage. A physical scuffle ensues, Robert threatens her life, and the unthinkable occurs leaving Teresa no other choice but to murder him in self-defense. Teresa is defended by Tony Gonzo, but is found guilty and incarcerated for her crime.

Download or read book Living in the Eighth Day written by Steven Underdown and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-08-02 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I came that you may have life and have it in all its fullness" (John 10:10). In this book, Revd Dr. Steven Underdown presents the paschal mystery--the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus--as the means by which the Son first realized that utter fullness of life which God had always intended for humankind. He also argues that it is only in and though the paschal mystery that human beings find their fulfillment. Only insofar as someone is open to be given in love is that person open to receive fullness of new life. The book explores some of the ways by which, under God's grace, the church can establish patterns of life and worship which will enable growth into the paschal mystery. It focuses in particular on a weekly pattern of life established in various parish and monastic communities in which every week is celebrated as a kind of "Holy Week in miniature." This pattern--termed the Pattern of the Week--is seen as providing a context for life-giving response to the divine initiative.

Download or read book Battling Bella written by Leandra Ruth Zarnow and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2019-11-26 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bella Abzug’s promotion of women’s and gay rights, universal childcare, green energy, and more provoked not only fierce opposition from Republicans but a split within her own party. The story of this notorious, galvanizing force in the Democrats’ “New Politics” insurgency is a biography for our times. Before Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Elizabeth Warren, or Hillary Clinton, there was New York’s Bella Abzug. With a fiery rhetorical style forged in the 1960s antiwar movement, Abzug vigorously promoted gender parity, economic justice, and the need to “bring Congress back to the people.” The 1970 congressional election season saw Abzug, in her trademark broad-brimmed hats, campaigning on the slogan “This Woman’s Place Is in the House—the House of Representatives.” Having won her seat, she advanced the feminist agenda in ways big and small, from gaining full access for congresswomen to the House swimming pool to cofounding the National Women’s Political Caucus to putting the title “Ms.” into the political lexicon. Beyond women’s rights, “Sister Bella” promoted gay rights, privacy rights, and human rights, and pushed legislation relating to urban, environmental, and foreign affairs. Her stint in Congress lasted just six years—it ended when she decided to seek the Democrats’ 1976 New York Senate nomination, a race she lost to Daniel Patrick Moynihan by less than 1 percent. Their primary contest, while gendered, was also an ideological struggle for the heart of the Democratic Party. Abzug’s protest politics had helped for a time to shift the center of politics to the left, but her progressive positions also fueled a backlash from conservatives who thought change was going too far. This deeply researched political biography highlights how, as 1960s radicalism moved protest into electoral politics, Abzug drew fire from establishment politicians across the political spectrum—but also inspired a generation of women.
