Finding the Best and the Brightest: A Guide to Recruiting,

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Thoms, Peg A., PUBLISHER: Praeger Publishers, We all choose our leaders. We hire them to run our companies. We vote them into office. We appoint them to committees. We decide to work for, serve, and follow them. In fact, all leadership is relative; by taking direction or orders, going to bat or war, marching behind, listening, and agreeing, we are choosing to allow another individual to lead us. Whether the stage is a corporation, a country, a club, a school, or any other organization, effective leaders matter. Yet despite such high-profile examples of leadership disasters--from the California recall of Gray Davis to the fall of such business titans as Ken Lay and Sam Waksal--we continue to choose, hire, and elect poor leaders. Finding the Best and the Brightest explores this phenomenon in business, politics, and other sectors of society, and proposes an antidote--an approach to choosing leaders based on a set of criteria designed to align individual qualities with organizational or institutional goals. Peg Thoms challenges the popular trend toward "transformational" leadership, which focuses on identifying universal characteristics, arguing instead that leadership must be developed in context. Many organizations, for example, need "operational" leaders who can focus on present-day tasks, such as designing superior products and delivering exceptional customer service, and not inspirational or "visionary" leaders, whose otherwise admirable qualities might be ill-suited to the challenges at hand. Outlining six typical leadership search scenarios--from school principal to hospital CEO--Thoms shows readers how to identify the traits and behaviors that are most essential for the position and how to structure interviews and other search techniques to elicit the most informative responses and home in on the best candidates. She also reminds us that many organizations fail not because they can't find good leaders but because they can't keep them, and offers strategies to promote leadership development. Whether you are an executive giving the nod to a new department head, a concerned citizen casting your vote for a municipal councilman, a club member choosing a new president, or an aspiring leader deciding which offer will provide the greatest growth opportunities, Finding the Best and the Brightest offers fresh insights on the dynamic relationship between leaders and those who follow them.

Diversity and Unity: Relations Between Racial and Ethnic

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Patchen, Martin, PUBLISHER: Wadsworth Publishing Company, This text provides a comprehensive overview of relevant theory and evidence to help students understand the processes and outcomes of ethnic diversity. Rather than describing a succession of specific ethnic groups, the focus is on the general forces and processes - such as formation of ethnic attitudes, intergroup contacts, economic competition, and demographic changes - that lead to such central outcomes as prejudice, segregation, and discrimination. It presents a fresh theoretical overview that links individual attitudes and behavior to societal institutions and processes. Two alternative visions of a multiethnic society are systematically discussed: one promoting assimilation and the other encouraging pluralism. The advantages and problems associated with each approach, the necessary conditions needed to produce this type of society, and possible ways to reduce its problems are outlined. Policy aims and techniques such as ways to reduce prejudice, income inequality, and housing are also examined.

Scandalous Behavior: Advice on Dating for Women and Love

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Carroll, Richard, PUBLISHER: PublishAmerica, I have hung out with girls all my life, who I think are more intelligent than men, and the only form of communication I had where I could learn anything of substance was from women. When you are always in the company of women, you always hear both sides of the real story, not the macho and overly exaggerated facts that men give. So really, in essence, women made me the womanizer that I became. I learned so much about women being around them on a constant basis. It's like a wolf among sheep. Women have an overwhelming desire to mother you or to think that they can mold you and try to change you into the imaginary man or husband that they really want, when most women themselves don't really know. That's the principal reason I wrote this novel.

Many live primarily on fish, though they will attack unfortunate humans who cross their path, as a number of stories recounted here prove. Incredible photographs offer a glimpse into the shark's wide jaws and toothy mouth, and of an incredible variety of species, including the handsome zebra shark, sand tiger, and nurse shark. An informative view of a much misunderstood creature.

Physics of Materials

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Quere, Yves / Quere, Y. / Quere, Quere, PUBLISHER: CRC Press, Few areas of science are as interdisciplinary as materials science. Chemistry, physics, mechanical engineering, and mathematics each play a part within it. The role of physics is to describe the objects, effects and phenomena at different scales (micro-, meso-, and macroscopic) as precisely as possible. Physics of Materials addresses this description at the elementary level. Based on an undergraduate level course taught at the Ecole Polytechnique, France, the main emphasis is on the conduction related phenomena (electronic properties) and the plastic behavior (ionic properties) of materials, such as metals and alloys, semiconductors, and ceramics. It assumes a basic grounding in statistical physics, quantum mechanics and elasticity but does not require prior knowledge of solid-state physics, to which it will serve as a useful introduction. The presentation of the course is followed by several examination problems, with solutions, which cover various specific applications of the general concepts and which will enable readers to test their understanding of these concepts.

Kingship and Common Profit in Gower's Confessio Amantis

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Peck, Russell A. / Gardner, John, PUBLISHER: Southern Illinois University Press, "Confessio Amantis," " "the principal work in English by John Gower, friend of Chaucer, by whom he was influenced, has always been read as a conventional poem about the seven deadly sins. Here, paying particular attention to the poem's language and style, Peck gives a brilliant new reinterpretation which not only illuminates the poem's elegant beauty but provides a profound moral purpose as well. Gower's "Confessio, "according to Peck, is a restatement of late fourteenth-cen-tury ideas of good and bad behavior, and is designed to illuminate and re-shape the minds and hearts of men. Peck sees the concepts of "kingship"--the governance of souls as well as king-doms--and "common profit"--the mutual enhancement of such king-doms--as the poem's unifying ideas. Peck's discussion further shows how the various tales hold together and support the poem's loose plot and the poet's strongly moral intention.

Imagining the Urban: Sanskrit and the City in Early India

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kaul, Shonaleeka, PUBLISHER: Seagull Books, In "Imagining the Urban," Shonaleeka Kaul turns to Sanskrit literature to discover the characteristics—both physical and social—of ancient Indian cities. Kaul examines nearly a thousand years of Sanskrit "kāvyas "to see what India’s early historic cities were like as living, lived-in, entities—and discovers that the cities were vibrant and teeming with variety and life.   As much about Sanskrit literature as about urban spaces—insofar as that literature reveals significant aspects of the Indian urban past—" Imagining the Urban" shows that Sanskrit literature is a rich source for historical understanding. Advocating the  kāvyas as an important historical source, Kaul provides a fresh view of the early city, showing distinctive ways of thought and behavior that relate to tradition, morality, and authority.   With its provocative new questions about early Indian cities and ancient Indian texts, this book will be an essential read for scholars of urban history, Sanskrit writings, and South Asian antiquity.

Much of the book reports results from a longitudinal study begun in Jyvaskyla, Finland, in , when its participants were school children. This longitudinal study is complemented by two Finnish twin-family studies, with parallel measures and overlapping aims, to yield insights into genetic and environmental sources of variation in early development and later outcomes. An array of findings from the two sets of longitudinal studies are presented, set within a theoretical framework of socioemotional development, and focused on both individual and familial predictors of health-related outcomes from childhood to early adulthood. Many contributors to this edited volume represent a second-tier of Finnish-USA collaborators. They analyzed data from the longitudinal studies as part of their advanced training, and their contributions to the book report recent results of such analyses.
