Download or read book The Essence of Home written by William J. Brummett and published by Van Nostrand Reinhold Company. This book was released on 1997 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written for architects, designers, and anyone involved in planning and designing assisted living facilities, The Essence of Home offers a fresh look at an area of design that is becoming increasingly important as the elderly population continues to grow exponentially. Through in-depth interviews with residents, staff, administrators, and family members, as well as an exhaustive review of architectural and medical literature, auther William Brummett has identified what it takes to make a facility feel like "home." It is not enough to merely add cosmetic or decorative touches to the typical hospital or nursing home structure; rather, the facility must be designed specifically with a sense of home in mind, taking into account not only the physical capabilities and limitations of the residents, but the emotional and psychological needs as well. The Essence of Home looks at 38 significant problem-solving design considerations, and contains two in-depth case studies. Detailed illustrations and graphics provide a visual sense of the concepts discussed in the text. An annotated bibliography and comprehensive list of references provide additional sources of information.

Padma infuses her story with hope and bravery that will inspire readers."--Aisha Saeed, author of the New York Times Bestseller Amal Unbound Four determined homeless children make a life for themselves in Padma Venkatraman's stirring middle-grade debut. Life is harsh on the teeming streets of Chennai, India, so when runaway sisters Viji and Rukku arrive, their prospects look grim. Very quickly, eleven-year-old Viji discovers how vulnerable they are in this uncaring, dangerous world. Fortunately, the girls find shelter--and friendship--on an abandoned bridge that's also the hideout of Muthi and Arul, two homeless boys, and the four of them soon form a family of sorts. And while making their living scavenging the city's trash heaps is the pits, the kids find plenty to take pride in, too. After all, they are now the bosses of themselves and no longer dependent on untrustworthy adults. But when illness strikes, Viji must decide whether to risk seeking help from strangers or to keep holding on to their fragile, hard-fought freedom.

Download or read book The Essence and Preeminence of Sonship written by Peter Akeck and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-05-30 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "He gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul" Ps 106:15 They had whatever they wanted and were full, but were never fulfilled in all their pursuits and endeavours. The million dollar question today as it was then, stands: "Do you want to be full or do you want to be fulfilled?" To be full you have to 'do', and to be fulfilled you have to 'be'. Servants 'do', but sons 'are'. The revelation of the Father and the consequent restoration and re-placement of sons in His Son, play in-expendable role in this divine design. God is first a Father then He saves; He is first a Father then He heals,etc. God first 'is', then He 'does'. He created the first man Adam and called him a 'son'. When this son failed, He sent His Son to find His lost son and restore him to his placement - sonship. God's first question to all humanity was "Where are you?" Where you are is more important to God than what you do. We were created first to be, then to do; not vice versa as it is today. Who we are informs what we are. Who we are defines us, but what we are defines our works. As all humanity and creation step into this glorious end time epoch that God has so graciously dispensed unto us, we must all keep in sharp focus the Father's plan to fill the earth with glorious sons. The Father's design of sonship re-places man into his pathway to finding fulfillment beyond fullness. This book, "The Essence and Precedence of Sonship" details this whole concept in such a way that the reader not only catches the revelation of the Father and steps into his placement as a son(whether he is male or female), but also explores the magnanimous glory of the Father that catapults him into fulfillment beyond description.

Download or read book The Essence Of International Trade Theory written by Noritsugu Nakanishi and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2018-10-29 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook aims to explain the principles in international trade theory and show how some useful trade models work. The book concentrates on two fundamental issues in international trade, that is, the 'determinants of trade patterns' and the 'welfare gains from trade' in various economic environments. Chapters 1 through 3 assume perfect competition and explore the workings of the Ricardian model, the Heckscher-Ohlin-Samuelson model, the Specific Factors model and more recent development of the Eaton-Kortum model. Chapter 4 examines various welfare criteria and their relation to the 'social utility function' and, then, proves the basic gains-from-trade proposition. Chapters 5 and 6 examine the implications of imperfect competition using a unified oligopolistic model and variations of the monopolistically competitive model. The roles of the strategic interaction among firms, the economies of scale, product differentiation, the heterogeneity of firms, and the geographic distribution of agents will be highlighted. Chapter 7 deals with some trade policy issues such as the effects of tariffs, the relation of tariffs to other policy measures, and the so-called strategic trade policies.
Download or read book The Essence of Living written by Robert A. Giacalone and published by Thinkable Press. This book was released on 2014-12-31 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the meaning of life? Why do I feel unfulfilled and unhappy? How can I successfully build a joyous, meaningful life? The Essence of Living examines these questions through three stories that serve as metaphors leading to a simple, life-altering truth: Joy and meaning are achieved by living a different story than we were taught. Living in our spiritual amnesia, we forgot where we came from and lost faith in the worthiness of our lives. The Essence of Living helps us question ideas that lead us to lives of struggle, and replace them with approaches that bring joy and meaning. Robert A. Giacalone, Ph.D. is the Daniels Distinguished Chair in Business Ethics at the University of Denver. He is the author/editor of nine books in business psychology, spirituality, and ethics. His work has been cited in a variety of sources, including the Christian Science Monitor, Time, Los Angeles Times, National Public Radio, and U.S. News and World Report. He is the former Editor-in-Chief of The Journal of Management, Spirituality, and Religion, and the author of the blog, The Essence of Living (www.happinessisessential.com).
Download or read book The Essence of International Management written by Andrey Medvedev and published by Walnut Publication. This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why, when, where and how to internationalise are core questions for leaders, managers and their organisations today. This book provides a unique overview of the true essence of international management. As opposed to a conventional product-related country-oriented approach to the international business area, this book intends to follow modern trends in international management with a greater focus on internationalisation of firm’s earnings and costs. The total economic result of international business transactions in the firm takes account of all cross-border inflow and outflow of cash. Modern firms participate in industrial value chains that tend to cross national borders intensively. The firm’s value chain activity exercised in a certain country serves as an appropriate unit of analysis in multinational firms' decision-making. The combination of such analytical units as firm, industry with its value chain, country and modes of foreign and cross-border operations is at the heart of the book's structure. Based on decades of delivering award-winning executive education seminars and projects in numerous countries, the authors address key questions in order to perpetuate an organisation’s as well as an individual’s success in international activities. Numerous case studies from a variety of firms, industries and countries help illustrate options and choices.
