The Talent Edge: A Behavioral Approach to Hiring,
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: David S. Cohen, PUBLISHER: Wiley, "A practical step-by-step approach to hiring the right person." Every hiring manager knows that the traditional hiring and interviewing process is a poor tool for predicting organizational fit and future on-the-job success. Behavioral interviewing can improve your chances of picking the right candidate two to five times over traditional processes. It focuses on how the candidate works rather than on skills, qualifications, and impressions. "The Talent Edge" shows how you can develop a concrete understanding of what your own top performers do differently than the majority of their peers, and how to translate that knowledge into a better hiring system. While using case studies from organizations that have successfully transformed their hiring practices, the book articulates the business case for a Behavioral Interviewing system, and provides a roadmap for implementing it. Comprehensive coverage includes: how to write job profiles and translate them into questions and answers that can be used in the interview; how to prepare for the interview, ask questions, and probe for the right information. The book also offers advice on how behaviors that are defined and proven to be useful in the hiring process can be incorporated into performance management, career development, and succession planning.

What Happened on Fox Street
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Springstubb, Tricia / Ross, Heather, PUBLISHER: Balzer & Bray/Harperteen, Fox Street was a dead end. In Mo Wren's opinion, this was only one of many wonderful, distinguishing things about it. Mo lives on Fox Street with her dad and little sister, the Wild Child. Their house is in the middle of the block--right where a heart would be, if the street were a person. Fox Street has everything: a piano player, a fix-it man, the city's best burrito makers, a woman who cuts Mo's hair just right, not to mention a certain boy who wants to teach her how to skateboard. There's even a mean, spooky old lady, if ringing doorbells and running away, or leaving dead mice in mailboxes, is your idea of fun. Summers are Mo's favorite time, because her best friend, Mercedes, comes to stay. Most important, though, Fox Street is where all Mo's memories of her mother live. The idea of anything changing on Fox Street is unimaginable--until it isn't. This is the story of one unforgettable summer--a summer of alarming letters, mysterious errands, and surprising revelations--and how a tuft of bright red fur gives Mo the courage she needs.
Conquering the Fear of Failure: Lessons from the Life of
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lutzer, Erwin W., PUBLISHER: Kregel Publications, The fear of failure afflicts us all. It erodes faith, deflates courage, and prevents victorious living. But fear doesn't have to haunt us anymore. In this newly repackaged edition of his popular book, best-selling author and beloved pastor Erwin W. Lutzer offers a healing alternative that releases Christians from attitudes of defeat. Using lessons from the life of Joshua, Lutzer teaches what Christians can do every day to see the promises of God fulfilled in their lives. From learning to listen to the right voice to living with a bad decision, from embracing the power of prayer to overcoming obstacles, this handbook will guide readers through the pitfalls of spiritual growth. "My prayer is that through studying Joshua we all will take one more giant step toward spiritual maturity," writes Lutzer. "In the process we shall discover that God is all-powerful and worthy of our trust." Written in the tone that made Lutzer a best-selling author of more than twenty books, "Conquering the Fear of Failure" shows readers how to focus on God and His promises, not upon circumstances or setbacks, so we may live a faith-filled, victorious life.
Bushido: The Soul of Japan
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Nitobe, Inazo, PUBLISHER: Kodansha USA, A century ago, when Japan was transforming itself from an isolated feudal society into a modern nation, a Japanese educator queried about the ethos of his people composed this seminal work, which with his numerous other writings in English made him the best, known Japanese writer in the West during his lifetime. He found in Bushido, the Way of the Warrior, the sources of the virtues most admired by his people: rectitude, courage, benevolence, politeness, sincerity, honor, loyalty and self-control. His approach to his task was eclectic and far-reaching. On the one hand, he delved into the indigenous traditions, into Buddhism, Shintoism, Confucianism and the moral guidelines handed down over hundreds of years by Japan's samurai and sages. On the other hand, he sought similarities and contrasts by citing not only Western philosophers and statesmen, but also the shapers of European and American thought and civilization going back to the Romans, the Greeks and Biblical times. This book is a classic to which generations of scholars and laymen alike have long referred for insights into the character of the Japanese people. And all of its many readers in the past have been amply rewarded, as will be all those who turn to its pages in the next and future decades.
So Much to Be Done: Women Settlers on the Mining and
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Moynihan, Ruth B. / Dichamp, Christine Fischer / Armitage, Susan M., PUBLISHER: University of Nebraska Press, The genuine creative achievements of nineteenth-century western women have often been obscured by sentimental tributes to their devotion and diligence, while men are praised as pathfinders, entrepreneurs, and community builders. But the nineteen narratives in "So Much to Be Done" by women of diverse status and background reveal women's involvement in every aspect of settlement. Their part in making hard decisions, producing essential income, and developing new communities was as important as their flexibility, humor, and sense of adventure. This collection describes the experiences of pioneer women responding in individual ways to the challenge of frontier hardships. The letters, diaries, and memoirs presented here offer glimpses of women's courage, physical strength, and independence that were the equal of any man's, even as they also reveal the failures, weaknesses, and tragedies that beset both sexes during the complex settlement process. Women describe their multiple daily tasks, the ingenuity by which they asserted themselves or circumvented patriarchal authority, the networks of relatives and friends who made the survival of both men and women possible. Such information is seldom found in men's narratives. Women's words provide rich veins of new material for social historians.

The Miseducation of Cameron Post
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Danforth, Emily M., PUBLISHER: Balzer & Bray/Harperteen, When Cameron Post's parents die suddenly in a car crash, her shocking first thought is relief. Relief they'll never know that, hours earlier, she had been kissing a girl. But that relief doesn't last, and Cam is soon forced to move in with her conservative aunt Ruth and her well-intentioned but hopelessly old-fashioned grandmother. She knows that from this point on, her life will forever be different. Survival in Miles City, Montana, means blending in and leaving well enough alone (as her grandmother might say), and Cam becomes an expert at both. Then Coley Taylor moves to town. Beautiful, pickup-driving Coley is a perfect cowgirl with the perfect boyfriend to match. She and Cam forge an unexpected and intense friendship--one that seems to leave room for something more to emerge. But just as that starts to seem like a real possibility, ultrareligious Aunt Ruth takes drastic action to "fix" her niece, bringing Cam face-to-face with the cost of denying her true self--even if she's not exactly sure who that is. "The Miseducation of Cameron Post" is a stunning and unforgettable literary debut about discovering who you are and finding the courage to live life according to your own rules.
Hockey's Golden Era: Stars of the Original Six
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Leonetti, Mike / Barkley, Harold / Selke, Frank Jr., PUBLISHER: Firefly Books, This book celebrates two vivid examples of excellence: one athletic, the other photographic. With the demise of the Brooklyn Americans in , the National Hockey League was reduced to franchises in Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Montreal, New York and Toronto. These teams became known collectively as "The Original Six," a name that evokes the era before major-league hockey was diluted by expansion. The NHL retained this structure until , when it expanded to 12 teams. This era has come to be known as "Hockey's Golden Era." These years saw some of the greatest players of the game in their prime: Gordie Howe, Maurice Richard, Terry Sawchuk, Bobby Hull, Andy Bathgate, Bobby Orr, Tim Horton, Frank Mahovlich, Jacques Plante and Jean Beliveau. The competition was fierce, the hockey unparalleled in skill, passion and aggressiveness, and the loyalties forged between players, teams and fans were intense. It was a time before modern-day stardom had injected a business-first mentality into the world of professional sport. Playing for the love of the game still existed as the prime motivation in hockey. Filled with 150 splendid photos by Harold Barkley (the first to use electronic flash in hockey photography), this book contains profiles of 74 great players, action photos, and statistics on players and teams. It is a treat for any fan.
Chekhov's Doctors: A Collection of Chekhov's Medical Tales
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Chekhov, Anton Pavlovich / Coulehan, Jack / Coles, Robert, PUBLISHER: Kent State University Press, In his brief but distinguished life, Anton Chekhov was a doctor, a documentary essayist, an admired dramatist, and a humanitarian. He remains a nineteenth-century Russian literary giant whose prose continues to offer moral insight and to resonate with readers across the world. Chekhov experienced no conflict between art and science or art and medicine. He believed that knowledge of one complemented the other. Chekhov brought medical knowledge and sensitivity to his creative writing--he had an intimate knowledge of the world of medicine and the skills of doctoring, and he utilized this information in his approach to his characters. His sensibility as a medical insider gave special poignancy to his physician characters. The doctors in his engaging tales demonstrate a wide spectrum of behavior, personality, and character. At their best, they demonstrate courage, altruism, and tenderness, qualities that lie at the heart of good medical practice. At their worst, they display insensitivity and incompetency. The stories in Chekhov's Doctors are powerful portraits of doctors in their everyday lives, struggling with their own personal problems as well as trying to serve their patients. The fifth volume in the acclaimed Literature and Medicine Series, Chekhov's Doctors will serve as a rich text for professional health care educators as well as for general readers.

Global Voices: Dialogues in International Relations
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Derian, James Der / Rosenau, James N. / Smith, Steve, PUBLISHER: Westview Press, Who "are" these characters--Westfem and SAR, Tsitsi and SUKA, Mother Courage, SICC, and GORP--and what do they have to say about the state of contemporary international affairs? For a painless yet provocative introduction to some of the most ponderous issues in world politics today, consider this book of dialogues written by leading lights in international relations research, covering everything from the New World Order to the role of postmodernism in constructing an answer to the deconstruction of the Soviet Union."Global Voices" develops as five different "dialoguers" spin out exchanges between and among such protagonists as the archetypal Senior American Researcher, his British and feminist counterparts, a thoughtful young Western feminist, her Third World alter ego, a concerned (but skeptical) citizen, and a set of postmodern personae as elusive as quicksilver. Youth and age, male and female, realist and idealist, science and art, Western and Third World--all find their voices represented here.Between the scenes, the characters' defenses come down along with the Berlin Wall, and the dialogues unravel in tandem with American hegemony, the Soviet republics, and gender-bound visions of "reality." This entertaining survey of issues, theory, and controversy in international relations is appropriate for readers both inside and outside the discipline, and is perfect for students who want to "listen in" on conversations that are reshaping the contours of international political thought as well as action.
Freedom from Oil: How the Next President Can End the United
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Sandalow, David, PUBLISHER: McGraw-Hill, "I plan to deliver an address from the Oval Office one month from today. The topic will be oil dependence." With these opening words, "Freedom from Oil" takes the reader to the highest levels of government, as Cabinet members and White House aides debate how to break our addiction to oil. In a fast-moving narrative, David Sandalow shows how to solve this problem while offering a unique window into the White House at work. A White House veteran, Sandalow explores what would happen if the next President made breaking the United States' addiction to oil a top priority. In crisp and clear prose, Sandalow explains the size of the challenge and then offers a powerful message of hope. "This issue unites Americans," he writes. "Game-changing technologies are at hand." Plug-in cars, biofuels and measures to improve traffic are all part of the solution. Throughout the book, profiles of fascinating individuals help bring serious policy dialogue to life. From the commander of U.S. forces in western Iraq to a grandmother in northern Alaska to an electric car entrepreneur to the winner of the Indianapolis 500, "Freedom from Oil" is filled with stories of people whose lives have been touched by oil dependence-and are working to find solutions. Drawing on both his government experience and energy expertise, Sandalow depicts the President's top advisers as they explore options, shape solutions and create national policy, culminating in an inspiring speech by the President to the nation.
Embracing Fear: And Finding the Courage to Live Your Life
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Rutledge, Thom / Oriah Mountain Dreamer, PUBLISHER: HarperOne, Fear takes many forms -- dread, worry, panic, anxiety, self-consciousness, superstition, and negativity -- and manifests itself in many ways -- avoidance, procrastination, judgment, control, agitation, and perfectionism, to name just a few. Fear is our constant companion. It haunts us day and night and prevents us from living to our potential. Whether we are afraid of the dark or of being alone, failure or commitment, public speaking or flying, fear dominates our lives, affecting nearly every decision we make."Embracing Fear" challenges us to confront and move beyond the destructive control of unhealthy fear. Utilizing the acronym F-E-A-R, psychotherapist Thom Rutledge maps out a step-by-step methodology: Face it Explore it Accept it Respond to itInstead of repressing or ignoring the voices of panic and dread, we learn that it is only through facing, exploring, accepting, and responding to fear that we free ourselves from its paralyzing grip. Combining compelling stories from the author's twenty-year practice, examples from his own struggles with addiction and depression, and practical exercises and tools, "Embracing Fear" does not pretend to teach the impossible and eliminate fear, but rather shows us that once we understand it we can live beyond its tyrannical control. This powerful life-transforming guide is for everyone who constantly worries about the "what-ifs," but is ready and willing to triumph over fear's pervasive presence once and for all.
Pacific
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ambrose, Hugh, PUBLISHER: Canongate Books, In this companion to the HBO(r) miniseries-executive produced by Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg, and Gary Goetzman-Hugh Ambrose reveals the intertwined odysseys of four U.S. Marines and a U.S. Navy carrier pilot during World War II. Between America's retreat from China in late November and the moment General MacArthur's airplane touched down on the Japanese mainland in August of , five men connected by happenstance fought the key battles of the war against Japan. From the debacle in Bataan, to the miracle at Midway and the relentless vortex of Guadalcanal, their solemn oaths to their country later led one to the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot and the others to the coral strongholds of Peleliu, the black terraces of Iwo Jima and the killing fields of Okinawa, until at last the survivors enjoyed a triumphant, yet uneasy, return home. In "The Pacific," Hugh Ambrose focuses on the real-life stories of the five men who put their lives on the line for our country. To deepen the story revealed in the miniseries and go beyond it, the book dares to chart a great ocean of enmity known as The Pacific and the brave men who fought. Some considered war a profession, others enlisted as citizen soldiers. Each man served in a different part of the war, but their respective duties required every ounce of their courage and their strength to defeat an enemy who preferred suicide to surrender. The medals for valor which were pinned on three of them came at a shocking price-a price paid in full by all.
