Logical Learning Theory: A Human Teleology and Its Empirical

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Rychlak, Joseph F., PUBLISHER: University of Nebraska Press, In , B. F. Skinner told Joseph Rychlak that the greatest disappointment resulting from the "cognitive revolution" was the turning of the human organism into a machine. Intrigued by this statement, Rychlak decided that after many years of formulation it was time to present his fundamentally teleological view of the human being, which he calls the "logical learning theory" (LLT). In this new theoretical perspective the author re-presents such concepts as intention, purpose, and free will. Significant aspects of the "mind-body" issue are explored here. Rychlak addresses teleological issues and provides a language for proper conceptualization. He uses experimental findings to support the notion of behavior as self-directed rather than mechanistic. In the process, Rychlak places LLT on the side of teleological explanation, in which concepts like free will, self-choice, purpose and intention are no longer dismissed. Rychlak compares LLT and existing formulations of behavior, including classical and operant conditioning, social learning theory, social constructionism, cognitive science, gestalt theories, and personality theories. Extensive research data and thorough discussions support Rychlak's theory. A glossary is also included.

Death of the Spirit in the American Workplace

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Allcorn, Seth, PUBLISHER: Praeger, There's more to work and the life of the organization than just numbers. In his new book on how people function in work settings, Allcorn calls it the human spirit. It too contributes to the life and performance of organizations, but like life itself it can die--or be killed. Allcorn argues that changes in how organizations are managed--downsizing, rightsizing, reengineering, and other catastrophic means--can have an unintended but devastating result. These factors can cause spiritual death--the end of that quality in people that keeps them alive, growing, and productive. Allcorn shows that management and the methods it uses to cope with organizational change must be adjusted to take into account a special kind of workplace spirituality and to nurture it, not destroy it. Indeed, he maintains that by appreciating the importance of the human spirit, and liberating the quality of spirituality into the workplace, benefits to the organization can be profoundly rewarding. Allcorn explains the practical, measurable results of this liberation, documenting his assertions in heartbreaking detail. Even the most tough-minded executive will soon come to consider this book as essential as a spreadsheet. Allcorn asserts that while spirituality inevitably has religious connotations, in his use of the word, it is fundamentally secular and powerfully humanistic. Besides the rationality of numbers and the irrationalities common to a defensive workplace, there is something else that permits members of organizations to rise above workplace adversities. This creates organizational success. As employees are downsized out or just furloughed, the effect on the organization and those who remain is clearlydestructive. The author concludes that the way for an organization to achieve success is certainly not by killing its people's spirit by firing them. Other means exist to preserve the organization, and Allcorn explores them in careful, useful detail.

But They Spit, Scratch and Swear: A School-Age Care Survival

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Whelan, Mary Steiner, PUBLISHER: Redleaf Press, They spit. They scratch. They swear. They talk back. They kick. They roll their eyes. They challenge. They throw things. Discipline, or behavior guidance, is often the most difficult part of what teachers do, especially for school-age programs, where there is often no curriculum and kids aren't getting graded. But discipline is also the most important part of a program, writes author, trainer, and former educator Mary Steiner Whelan. It can open the world of possibilities that live inside children -- the possibility of self-control, competency, self-respect, creativity, integrity, resiliency, and self-worth. Or, it can shut down a child's hope, her empathy for others, and her positive sense of self. A survival guide to school-age care, But They Spit Scratch and Swear lists the "do's and don'ts of discipline". The book will help teachers with little experience in the field establish behavior guidance techniques and philosophies in their programs, where there is less structure than school time and often more challenges with behavior. Beginning with a brief examination of the history of school-age care and the developmental issues facing the field, the book also includes an array of exercises designed to foster a teacher's self-knowledge as an integral part of learning how to discipline children. Covering a variety of disciplinary issues, from setting limits to giving children "cools" (the author's replacement for the punitive use of "time-outs"), But They Spit Scratch and Swear is written to inspire teachers to face the struggles of discipline and the challenges of each and every child again and again. The book urges that teachers do more than just memorize the rules fordiscipline, and instead look inside to ask how each do or don't works in a particular situation.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Taylor, William C., PUBLISHER: William Morrow & Company, "Practically Radical" is a manifesto for change and a manual for making it happen--in an era when change is the name of the game. Businesspeople everywhere are engaging in a dramatic "rethink" of how they lead, work, and get results. In an age of fierce competition and stubborn recession, the status quo just doesn't cut it. But how do you break new ground when there is so much pressure to do things the same way as everyone else? Using his years of experience and thought leadership in the business world, the cofounder and founding editor of one of the world's most admired business magazines, "Fast Company," offers radical ideas and practical advice to help you fix what's wrong with your organization, launch new initiatives with the best chance to succeed, and rethink the logic of leadership itself.

They include IBM, Zappos, Swatch, the Girl Scouts, Interpol, big-city hospitals, fast-growing banks, and high-flying airlines. These organizations have answered the make-or-break questions facing leaders in every field: Do you see opportunities the competition doesn't see?

Practices that are routine in one field can be revolutionary when they migrate to another field. Are you the most of anything? Companies used to be comfortable in the middle of the road. Today, the middle of the road is the road to ruin. Are you getting the best contributions from the most people? It may be lonely at the top, but change is not a game best played by loners.
