Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the follow-up to his debut book, Chutin' the Bull, Mark George returns with a new collection of short pieces which some say strain the definition of humor. "Why do you keep putting out this drivel?" asked one critic. Is snoring legitimate as grounds for divorce? What if the offending party is a super-model? What do you mean her looks don't matter? What will Batman do when Gotham enacts strict gun-control measures? How do teacher and parents work together to stop their teenage son who self-identifies as a ninja warrior, internet-trained and fully armed? For answers to these penetrating questions join Mark George in his noble quest to understand human and animal behavior, tilting at windmills as only he can.

Download or read book Face to Face with Practice written by Steven Segal and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coming Face to Face with your own practice is an emerging approach to management and professional research that has a significant impact on management practice. It closes the gap between theory and practice. An existential form of research means that the researcher carefully attends to their experience of researching and managing. This book demonstrates that by bringing an existential sensibility to research, unexpected possibilities for research and for professionality, are revealed. Each chapter shows authors grappling with the constraints of a system, navigating issues of humanness, questioning themselves, unfolding their understanding of appropriate ethics and finally, elucidating a depth of response that in itself reveals a way forward. In Face to Face with Practice, authors demonstrate how they drew on moments of estrangement from their practices. They found that when such moments are respected and carefully examined, a kind of clarification and at the same time often deep disillusionment with the taken-for-granted conventions of their practice, emerge. Through exploring these conventional ways of operating, authors develop new and original accounts of what it means to manage better in their particular field of practice. Such an approach is called hermeneutic existential phenomenology, affectionately known as HEP. Face to Face is about making a difference: a difference to the ways that management is practiced; a difference to the experience of the manager; and actually a difference towards a more humane and thoughtful approach to managing our society today.

Download or read book Journey of Emotions written by Ahmed Younus and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is my first book. The essence of poetry, in my view, is to rattle the heart and dazzle the mind. I wrote this book with the view that every line should have the emotional streak running through it, like a musical note. I believe that the poetry is at its best when it instantaneously ignites the heart and hypnotizes the mind with emotional thoughts. I have tried to write the poems to express my own feelings and am confident that readers will find these equally fascinating. I very much hope that the readers will not only find the book an emotional roller coaster ride but also quite informative and entertaining book to read.
