Download or read book Law in the Time of Oxymora written by Rostam J. Neuwirth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-16 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do different concepts like true lie, bad luck, honest thief, old news, spacetime, glocalization, symplexity, sustainable development, constant change, soft law, substantive due process, pure law, bureaucratic efficiency and global justice have in common? What connections do they share with innumerable paradoxes, like the ones of happiness, time, globalization, sex, and of free will and fate? Law in the Time of Oxymora provides answers to these conundrums by critically comparing the apparent rise in recent years of the use of rhetorical figures called "essentially oxymoronic concepts" (i.e. oxymoron, enantiosis and paradoxes) in the areas of art, science and law. Albeit to varying degrees, these concepts share the quality of giving expression to apparent contradictions. Through this quality, they also challenge the scientific paradigm rooted in the dualistic thinking and binary logic that is traditionally used in the West, as opposed to the East, where a paradoxical mode of thinking and fuzzy logic is said to have been cultivated. Following a review of oxymora and paradoxes in art and various scientific writings, hundreds of "hard cases" featuring oxymora and a comprehensive review of the legal literature are discussed, revealing evidence suggesting that the present scientific paradigm of dualism alone will no longer be able to tackle the challenges arising from increasing diversity and complexity coupled with an apparent acceleration of change. Law in the Time of Oxymora reaches the surprising conclusion that essentially oxymoronic concepts may inaugurate a new era of cognition, involving the ways the senses interact and how we reason, think and make decisions in law and in life.

Book excerpt: In today’s world, filled with instant gratification and a monotonous strive to be mediocre, we’ve forgotten what success means. Lots of people have different answers. Discipline, consistency, motivation, passion, etc. But the problem is they don’t last. And there is a very simple reason for it. By themselves, they will never get you to achieve greatness. Instead, think of them as ingredients to a recipe. The result of that recipe, when properly cooked, is a habit. It is within habits that we can find our inner transformation to the meaning in our lives. But it’s as easy as you may think. You’ve been lied to by so-called ‘gurus’ that building a habit doesn’t take long. Year One aims to demystify all those lies and give you a step-by-step game plan to follow. Start building habits which will stick and improve your life forever.

Download or read book Healthcare Design and Other Oxymorons written by Nick Devenney and published by Bookstand Publishing. This book was released on 2011-01-31 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you have ever experienced prolonged contact with Architects, you know they are a subspecies that sees the world through kaleidoscopic glasses -- nothing focused, ever-changing, unpredictable, and beautiful. "Healthcare Design and Other Oxymorons" is a peek through a pair of those glasses -- mine. We will ricochet from opinions to experiences to poems to philosophies, arranged in no particular order, straight from my pinball mind. I have always known I wanted to be an architect, virtually springing from the womb "T" square in hand. Maybe that's why Mother never liked me. Most architects will tell you they have always known they wanted to be an architect. One does not dabble in various jobs and eventually decide to try architecture next. Architecture is an easily identifiable job, like a fireman or doctor, which children can understand and adopt at an early age. Professions like insurance agent, union boss, or florist don't seem to light the fire of a five year old. But an architect -- wow! Unfortunately architects do not have hero status like firemen or doctors. Architects are much maligned, I think by bad rumors started by evil contractors. Stuff like "Architects can't keep a budget, can't meet a schedule, and can't stop leaks, cracks or squeaks." All this is very true. We have good reasons but exploring them has already been done in stunning boredom in many other books. Not this one. Some of my friends (I think) have read parts of this book as it was being written and have questioned why I would mix so many topics -- healthcare, sustainability, religion, growing up, politics, ethics, etc. -- into a book about the practice of architectural design. The answer is that every one of these topics influences architecture and, to a great extent, architecture influences them. There cannot be a serious discussion about the design of a church, or a town, or a hospital without understanding the relationships that civility, politics, religion, etc., have on design goals. So skip around, read the parts you like and avoid parts that you don't agree with. Maybe later you will go back to the skipped parts. I hope.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Through their collaboration, Kelly and Robby share their very different perspectives on the same problems most companies are STILL dealing with, but haven't had the courage or the tools, to address. Issues such as: a shocking lack of leadership skills; the culture-killing generational divide that is demolishing many companies; and the stunning, often unrecognized impact of technology on the workplace. In their "shamelessly funny, brilliantly written" debut book, Kelly and Robby will: · Discuss today's workplace dynamics, including the changes in communication modes, the influx of technology, and the impact of Millennials and Digital Natives · Explain how a one-sided approach to leadership focused on "managing" Millennials is grossly insufficient, resulting in an inability to attract and retain critical young talent · Explore the new challenges of leadership inherent with the explosion of technology-time compression, distractions, complexity and the pace of change · Reveal how old leadership challenges persist, and explore how the younger generation will expose those challenges more than ever · Detail the CounterMentor leadership model and prescribe specific tactics and techniques for addressing both old and new leadership issues
