Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suddenly it's America's destiny to lead the world from terrorism to Freedom and Democracy. How did we get to this point? Is this a good thing or a bad thing? John J. Xenakis answers these questions in a book that spans centuries of world history, showing how societies and nations change as generations pass. Using numerous historical comparisons, he shows how generational changes have changed America: From the great G.I. Generation that fought and won World War II to the Baby Boomers that rebelled against the Vietnam War in the 60s and 70s, and who are now leading America in the war against terrorism. History tells us that there are dangers. There will be shocks and surprises, and economic difficulties.

Book Generational Dynamics Anniversary Edition  Forecasting America s Destiny

Download or read book Generational Dynamics Anniversary Edition Forecasting America s Destiny written by John J. Xenakis and published by Generational Theory Book. This book was released on 2019-12 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a 2020 reprint of the classic 2004 book that launched generational theory and Generational Dynamics. In addition to the complete original text, forty pages of new material have been added, describing how generational theory has evolved and developed between 2004 and 2020.Technically, Generational Dynamics combines Chaos Theory with MIT's System Dynamics applied to generational flows. Chaos theory tells you what can and cannot be predicted, and System Dynamics tells you how to predict it.Since publication of the original book, the GenerationalDynamics.com web site contains thousands of articles, forecasts and predictions for hundreds of countries throughout history, and into the future. All of these predictions have turned out to be true or are trending true. None has been proven wrong.This book introduces the "Principle of Localization," which says that generational theory applies to each local nation or society. It gives fascinating details about many specific crisis wars, such as King Philip's war, World Wars I and II, Napoleon's invasion of Russia, the Peloponnesian War, Bolshevik Revolution, Taiping Rebellion, and so forth.Generational theory is also integrated with financial and technological forecasting, to show how they interact, and how to predict major financial crises.Recent books in the Generational Theory Book Series by the same author include "World View: War Between China and Japan: Why America Must Be Prepared" and "World View: Iran's Struggle for Supremacy -- Tehran's Obsession to Redraw the Map of the Middle East." These books analyze millennia of history for China and Iran, respectively, and predict each country's future in view of its past.The new introduction includes the history and evolution of the original Fourth Turning theory by Bill Strauss and Neil Strauss, which focuses on popular American generational sociology (Millennials, etc.)

Book Gentelligence

Download or read book Gentelligence written by Megan Gerhardt and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Vital for any organization with multigenerational staffs, and for marketers, public relations professionals, HRD managers, or executives." Library Journal, Starred Review Gentelligence: The Revolutionary Approach to Leading an Intergenerational Workforce presents a transformative way to end the generational wars once and for all. This book first introduces Gentelligence as a powerful business strategy and shows why it is critical for the future of work. It then presents a practical guide and a call to action for leaders of all ages to unlock the potential strengths of each generation. Readers will learn how an intergenerational workforce can be reframed as a profound business opportunity and discover how Gentelligence can help them win the talent war, create strong, diverse teams, and build adaptable cultures that will flourish in an era of rapid change. Gentelligence shares groundbreaking evidence that will have readers thinking about their generationally diverse workforce in an entirely different way. Readers will discover: Where generational conflict originates, and how it results in both dangerous ageism and reverse ageism in today’s workplaces. Why the generation gap stems from a misunderstanding of shared core values across all generations. How to find essential common ground with colleagues, both older and younger, and recognize the unique needs that come with different generational identities. How generational shaming leads us to view those from other generations as competitors rather than collaborators, further damaging employee engagement, team dynamics, innovation, and organizational culture. How leveraging the unique strengths of each generation at work can lead to a win-win outcome for all. How traditional views on leadership have been turned upside down as a result of new generational dynamics, with many employees currently being led by managers that are younger than themselves, and older leaders struggling to make sense of changing norms around authority and power. Gentelligence reveals the opportunities within an intergenerational workforce and provides actionable tools to help leaders build Gentelligent organizations. Unlike other books on generational leadership, this book rejects common stereotypes assigned to different generations, replacing them with a deep understanding of why those who grew up in different times may behave in unique and valuable, ways. We challenge leaders to go beyond simply accepting generational differences to leverage them proactively to increase engagement, innovation, and organizational success.

Book Generations of Empire

    Book Details:
  • Author : Andreas Guidi
  • Publisher : University of Toronto Press
  • Release : 2022-10-03
  • ISBN : 1487541295
  • Pages : 272 pages

Download or read book Generations of Empire written by Andreas Guidi and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2022-10-03 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1912, Italy occupied Rhodes, an Ottoman town inhabited by Greek Orthodox, Muslims, Jews, and Catholics. Rhodes became a territory of Italy’s empire in 1923 following the Treaty of Lausanne, only one year after Mussolini seized power in Rome. The Ottoman demise corresponded to the expansion of fascist imperialism in the Mediterranean. Both the Ottoman Young Turks and Italian colonial governors invoked the role of a "new generation" of youth in imperial rule. Generations of Empire investigates the relationship between state and society in light of successive transformations of imperial rule, rethinking Italian colonialism as post-Ottoman history. Andreas Guidi explores how communal life in the town of Rhodes was affected by the transition between these regimes, from an autocratic to a constitutional empire in late Ottoman years to Italian military occupation to fascist annexation. Based on archival sources in five languages from seven different countries, the book investigates generational dynamics in the domains of political activism, the family, education, work and leisure, and mobility. Generations of Empire offers a vivid picture of how a local society navigated large-scale social and political transformations in the modern Mediterranean.

  • Author : Ana Sobral
  • Publisher : Brill
  • Release : 2012-01-01
  • ISBN : 9401208514
  • Pages : 271 pages

Download or read book Opting Out written by Ana Sobral and published by Brill. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Opting Out explores the theme of deviance as a form of protest in famous cult novels that have left an indelible mark on contemporary American culture – from Jack Kerouac's On the Road to Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club. Adopting a generational lens, it centers on the deviant heroes and literary spokesmen of two major cohorts: the Baby Boomers and Generation X. Here for the first time the cult texts that defined these generations are submitted to a critical analysis that allows them to enter into a dialogue – or rather a heated debate – with each other. This opens new perspectives on the generation gap in America since 1945, offering a dynamic look at the role of youth as agents of social change and cultural innovation. The volume is of interest to students and researchers in contemporary American literature and culture, as well as to fans of cult fiction in general. The interdisciplinary approach to the themes of generational conflict and deviant behaviour also makes a significant contribution to the fields of sociology, contemporary history and cultural studies.
