Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of affect in how people think and behave in social situations has been a source of fascination to laymen and philosophers since time immemorial. Surprisingly, most of what we know about the role of feelings in social thinking and behavior has been discovered only during the last two decades. Affect in Social Thinking and Behavior reviews and integrates the most recent research and theories on this exciting topic, and features original contributions reviewing key areas of affect research from leading researchers active in the area. The book covers fundamental issues, such as the nature and relationship between affect and cognition, as well as chapters that deal with the cognitive antecedents of emotion, and the consequences of affect for social cognition and behavior. This volume offers a highly integrated and comprehensive coverage of this field, and is suitable as a core textbook in advanced courses dealing with the role of affect in social cognition and behavior.

Book excerpt: From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together

Download or read book Pet Guardianship Agreement written by Michael E. Byczek and published by Michael E. Byczek. This book was released on 2024-05-20 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s common for “pawrents” to worry about losing their pets after a long happy life. What happens if they lose you first? Who will care for your pets upon your death or during a medical emergency when you are unable to care for them yourself? A Pet Guardianship Agreement is a legal document, similar to a Will, that allows you to explain your wishes for who shall take responsibility for your pets. The document is just for pets with far more detailed instructions than would appear in a standard Will. If your pets are family, you don’t want to leave their future to chance and hope for the best. You should not hope. You should plan. A Pet Guardianship Agreement is for your pets about their future when you are gone. Most people don’t like thinking about death or making such plans. However, it’s too late once you are dead and your pets are left without an owner or home. Included with this package are Illinois specific documents: Instructions Nine-page Pet Guardianship Agreement (each page is signed, but not notarized) Fifteen-page Notarized Pet Guardianship Agreement (each page is individually notarized) One-page Self Proving Affidavit (required for the witnesses to notarize, which is separate from the Guardianship Agreement) One-page Notarized Pet Owner Affidavit (an optional affidavit for you, the owner, to notarize) One-page Notarized Pet Guardianship Agreement Summary (an optional affidavit for you and each guardian to notarize) While only valid for Illinois residents, anybody can use this information to learn the legal requirements of Pet Guardianship and use the documents as a template to write your own version. You may also modify these documents to suit your preferences. You don’t need to be an attorney to write your own legal documents, just make sure the final version is accurate and valid. You may trust your friends and family today, but this is not always the case after a person’s death while your family is fighting in Probate Court with your pets being the subject of decisions made by a Judge with an outcome that you may never have approved. You don’t want your beloved pets thrown onto the street or abandoned in a shelter. The goal is to have both a Will and a Pet Guardianship Agreement where the two estate plan documents complement, not contradict, each other. The Pet Guardianship Agreement enhances the basic provision in the Will about your pets by providing detailed information. Also included is a brief tutorial for artificial intelligence writing your Pet Guardianship Agreement without an attorney using AI chatbot platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini). The author, Michael E. Byczek, has been a licensed Illinois attorney since 2007 (Chicago, IL). He manages his own legal business (https://byczeklaw.com) and has assisted clients to prepare their estate plans and protect the rights of heirs during probate in court.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainability education has typically centered the human-focusing on the changes and paradigm shifts needed to ensure a sustainable future for humans. Yet nonhuman beings, specifically plants and animals, are and have always been central to our lives, prompting wonder, curiosity, sensitivity and awe, as well as being important in their own right. In Multispecies Thinking in the Classroom and Beyond: Teaching for a Sustainable Future the contributors discuss the importance of seeking a more inclusive, more just, and ultimately a more hopeful future. They consider how everyday, entanglements with plants and animals can challenge us and expand our worldview. The contributors consider the importance of reciprocal relationships with plants and animals and provide practical strategies, approaches, and examples of how that looks in practice in all types of educational settings.

Book Children s Thinking About Cultural Universals

Download or read book Children s Thinking About Cultural Universals written by Jere Brophy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-04-21 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on interview data, the authors describe K-3 students' knowledge and thinking about basic aspects of the social world that are addressed in the elementary social studies curriculum. The interviews focused on human activities relating to nine cultural universals that are commonly addressed in the elementary social studies curriculum: food, clothing, shelter, communication, transportation, family living, childhood, money, and government. This volume synthesizes findings from the research and discusses their implications for curriculum and instruction in early social studies. Children's Thinking About Cultural Universals significantly expands the knowledge base on developments in children's social knowledge and thinking and, in addition, provides a wealth of information to inform social studies educators' and curriculum developers' efforts to match instruction to students' prior knowledge, both by building on already developed valid knowledge and by addressing common misconceptions. It represents a quantum leap in the availability of information on the trajectories of children's knowledge about common topics in primary elementary social studies education.

The book highlights several aspects of design thinking such as Information Design and Critical Design. The meaning of culture, gender and disabilities are also discussed. The functions of Information Design are changing from ‘showing the way’, instruction manuals and graphic design. It will affect among others, healthcare technology, smart products and Industry 4.0. Design thinking perspective that includes users from the entire chain and from the producer to the end user of the product or service, is needed. This will also require gender and culture issues to be taken into consideration in designing products and services. Design thinking methods and critical aspects of design will contribute to an inclusive society.
