Leadership Succession

Leadership Succession

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Friedman, Stewart D., PUBLISHER: Transaction Publishers, This volume focuses on the most critical strategic activity in any organization, namely, who gets chosen to sit in the top echelon of the pyramid. Friedman argues that it is the quality of corporate leadership that will determine corporate winners and losers in the global competitive game. The stakes in leadership succession are high. The selection of key figures is the one human resource activity that no one belittles for being of secondary importance. Indeed, leadership succession is so important and central in many executive minds that it crowds out any other work. The succession process is often fraught with political intrigue, it lacks discipline, and excludes meaningful involvement of senior human resource executives. The contributors to this imaginative volume reveal a succession planning process that is frequently sloppy, superficial, and regularly sabotaged by senior management when they give it short shrift in terms of quality time. In addition, senior management often overrides sound decisions when it comes to filling key positions. The result is a lack of integrity throughout the human resource systems that eventually leads to a collapse of belief in the system and its governance. Noel M. Tichy, a leading figure in the studies of human resource management, has said, "Stewart Friedman is to be congratulated for a successful effort in providing a state of the art look at leadership succession. He] provides us with an empirical database of what is happening in U.S. corporations, helpful prescriptions for future improvement of leadership succession, and a realistic assessment of the human resource executive challenges in this area."

Small Wonder: Worlds in a Box

Small Wonder: Worlds in a Box

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Levinthal, David / Corey, David, PUBLISHER: Zzdap Publishing, In the general introduction to these first two books in the National Museum of American Art's new series, "American Scene," the series editor and series curator express a hope to "present the evolving portrait of America" in a time when "the myth of the melting pot' has given way to a social fabric woven into a coat of many colors.'" While that noble dream is well on its way to being realized here, the reality still does not quite feel like art. The work of Bernice Abbott and Robert Frank, referred to in the introduction, provides insights into American life but is also characterized by a particular way of seeing. These books have less the effect of art than of photojournalism-though perhaps the best sort, one encouraging contemplation rather than sensationalism. Unfortunately, the problem lies largely in the nature of series, the constraints of size and format and introduction, which here places as much weight on the editors' vision as the individual photographer's ability to see. That said, these are nonetheless valuable documents of today's middle America, by turns pleasant and disturbing, honest, and mythical. Pratt focuses on the county fairs of the Midwest, the traditions they maintain, and, most importantly, the people who attend them. Arndt photographs men, mostly working class, mostly in crumbling cities, establishing a sense of unity among his subjects that makes it the more successful of the books. In these two multiple-image portraits, public libraries will find a moving record of fading people and their traditions.-Eric Bryant Library Journal

Story Writing in a Nursing Home

Story Writing in a Nursing Home

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: John, Martha Tyler / John Edd, Martha A., PUBLISHER: Routledge, Based on the belief that older people have good stories to tell, Story Writing in a Nursing Home was developed as part of a volunteer teaching service to a nursing home. Graduate students who were learning to teach this special population conducted story writing activities with older adults and found that even the frail elderly who are confined to nursing centers provided a unique perspective about events that emphasize the lasting verities in life. The idea of a patchwork was derived from one of the lessons taught and was suggested by one of the older participants who said, "We're sort of like a patchwork quilt." The information, memories, and humor the elderly see in situations is worth recording. In addition, Story Writing in a Nursing Home emphasizes the way to develop the mental stimulation that is so important for physical well being. This sensitive and insightful book provides a lesson plan outline and the type of content that was used as an example. It also provides a running commentary in the form of a diary that tells how to begin a teaching program for nursing center residents. Students and professionals interested in implementing a similar program can use these ideas for planning and for organizing the use of student help to better serve the population.Fascinating reading, this book includes stories by frail elderly people, lesson plans, tips on working with administrators in a nursing center, and reasons for providing instruction. Teachers, volunteers, librarians, gerontology/sociology students, and others concerned with the well-being of the elderly will refer often to this instructive volume.

The Bonesetter's Daughter

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Tan, Amy, PUBLISHER: HarperCollins Publishers, ""As compelling as Tan's first bestseller, The Joy Luck Club... No one writes about mothers and daughters with more empathy than Amy Tan." -The Philadelphia Inquirer " An] absorbing tale of the mother-daughter bond... this book sing s] with emotion and insight." -People Ruth Young and her widowed mother, LuLing, have always had a tumultuous relationship. Now, before she succumbs to forgetfulness, LuLing gives Ruth some of her writings, which reveal a side of LuLing that Ruth has never known.... In a remote mountain village where ghosts and tradition rule, LuLing grows up in the care of her mute Precious Auntie as the family endures a curse laid upon a relative known as the bonesetter. When headstrong LuLing rejects the marriage proposal of the coffinmaker, a shocking series of events are set in motion-all of which lead back to Ruth and LuLing in modern San Francisco. The truth that Ruth learns from her mother's past will forever change her perception of family, love, and forgiveness. "A strong novel, filled with idiosyncratic, sympathetic characters; haunting images; historical complexity; significant contemporary themes; and suspenseful mystery." -Los Angeles Times "For Tan, the true keeper of memory is language, and so the novel is layered with stories that have been written down-by mothers for their daughters, passing along secrets that cannot be said out loud but must not be forgotten." -The New York Times Book Review "Tan at her best... rich and hauntingly forlorn... The writing is so exacting and unique in its detail." -San Francisco Chronicle

Independence: The Struggle to Set America Free

Independence: The Struggle to Set America Free

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ferling, John, PUBLISHER: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, No event in the American history was more pivotal--or more furiously contested--than Congress' decision to declare independence in July . Even months after American blood had been shed at Lexington and Concord, many colonists remained loyal to Britain. And those in Congress who pushed for independence knew that any vote for it must carry all 13 colonies: a disunited opposition would be doomed in a war against the British Empire. John Adams, a leader of the effort, said bringing the fractious Congress together was like getting "thirteen clocks to strike at once." For all the books that have been written about the Revolutionary era, none has ever concentrated on the dramatic struggle in the Continental Congress that led to the Declaration of Independence. The cast of characters is astonishing: John and Samuel Adams, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Patrick Henry, Benjamin Franklin, and others all took part in the struggle in Congress. But Independence tells the other side of the story, too, taking readers to London where ministers--many in sympathy with the Americans--agonized over how to deal with a rebellion that threatened the Empire. "Independence"" "reminds us of the fateful decision points where history might easily have taken a different path. At this remarkable moment in history, high-stakes, life-and-death politics was intertwined with an intense philosophical debate about democracy, governance, and justice. John Ferling, drawing on a lifetime of scholarship, brings the passionate contest to life as no other historian could. "Independence"" "will be hailed as the finest work yet from the author Michael Beschloss calls "a national resource."

Ninevah and Its Remains: A Narrative of an Expedition to

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Layard, Austen Henry / Fagan, Brian M., PUBLISHER: Lyons Press, A rise, go to Nineveh, that great city, " said the Lord to Jonah. For centuries, generations of scholars pondered the historical truth of the Scriptures. Had Ninevah actually been a great city? The question would remain unsolved for centuries. But in , a twenty-two-year-old Londoner named Austen Henry Layard left England for Ceylon, modern-day Sri Lanka, seeking a less dreary place in which to practice law. He never got there. Traveling by land, he reached the town of Mosul, on the banks of the Tigris, and spent the next ten years in Persia. Driven by little more than an insatiable well of desire for discovery, Layard soon became the foremost archeologist of his time, and discovered the ancient ruins of Ninevah at the tender age of thirty one. While the British Museum unloaded hundreds of tons of sculpture from Layard's excavations, Layard wrote "Nineveh and Its Remains," a popular account of his discoveries reprinted in an abridged form here. The book appeared to rapturous acclaim and sold out numerous printings. Everyone loved the fluent mix of high adventure and archaeology in his books, the intoxicating stew of compelling characters and sudden crises. He made the Assyrians accessible to the common person and brought alive a shadowy Biblical civilization. The book made Austen Henry Layard one of the archaeological immortals, who achieved miracles of discovery against seemingly impossible odds. Originally published in , "Nineveh and Its Remains" is Layard's account of his extraordinary discoveries in the East. This masterpiece, described by the London Times as "the most extraordinary work of the present age, " is one of the great archeological books of all time.

Amazing Prophecies Being Fulfilled

Amazing Prophecies Being Fulfilled

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Rogers, Herb, Jr., PUBLISHER: Xulon Press, Herb Rogers has been in full time ministry for over 50 years as the senior pastor in churches in Colorado, California and Florida. During his ministry Bible prophecy has been a frequent topic in his preaching. This book is a compilation of decades of intense study in the area of Biblical signs of the times. The signs of the times found in Scripture are startling in number when viewed together. They stand as proof that our generation is witnessing events that have never happened in all of recorded history. Jesus said that we would know that the end of the age is near when these signs all occur at the same time. The thing that makes this study amazing is that all of the hundreds of things predicted in God's Word are not only presently happening, but they are increasing in intensity and number as we rush toward the final fulfillment of all things. The book will name each sign individually, give the scripture verses that predicted it and then share articles from magazines, books, etc. that substantiate the progress of each sign in our present world. Even the unsaved are aware that the world seems to be moving toward some sort of a climax.It appears that the world has entered an era of dramatic and ominous change. At the present moment the planet is in severe crisis. In we saw bank failures, the stock market crash, and bailouts of all sorts. Unemployment has soared, foreclosures of homes have been epic in scope, and businesses are closing by the thousands, including some of the largest stores in America. What does it all mean? This book presents an awesome answer to this question.

The Lion's Pride: Theodore Roosevelt and His Family in Peace

The Lion's Pride: Theodore Roosevelt and His Family in Peace

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Renehan, Edward J., Jr., PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, In The Lion's Pride, Edward J. Renehan, Jr. vividly portrays the grand idealism, heroic bravery, and reckless abandon that Theodore Roosevelt both embodied and bequeathed to his children and the tragic fulfillment of that legacy on the battlefields of World War I. Drawing upon a wealth of previously unavailable materials, including letters and unpublished memoirs, The Lion's Pride takes us inside what is surely the most extraordinary family ever to occupy the White House. Theodore Roosevelt believed deeply that those who had been blessed with wealth, influence, and education were duty bound to lead, even--perhaps especially--if it meant risking their lives to preserve the ideals of democratic civilization. Teddy put his principles, and his life, to the test in the Spanish American war, and raised his children to believe they could do no less. When America finally entered the "European conflict" in , all four of his sons eagerly enlisted and used their influence not to avoid the front lines but to get there as quickly as possible. Their heroism in France and the Middle East matched their father's at San Juan Hill. All performed with selfless--some said heedless--courage: Two of the boys, Archie and Ted, Jr., were seriously wounded, and Quentin, the youngest, was killed in a dogfight with seven German planes. Thus, the war that Teddy had lobbied for so furiously brought home a grief that broke his heart. He was buried a few months after his youngest child. Filled with the voices of the entire Roosevelt family, The Lion's Pride gives us the most intimate and moving portrait ever published of the fierce bond between Teddy Roosevelt and his remarkable children.

Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - Sir Thomas More, son of Sir John More, a justice of the King's Bench, was born in , in Milk Street, in the city of London. After his earlier education at St. Anthony's School, in Threadneedle Street, he was placed, as a boy, in the household of Cardinal John Morton, Archbishop of Canterbury and Lord Chancellor. It was not unusual for persons of wealth or influence and sons of good families to be so established together in a relation of patron and client. The youth wore his patron's livery, and added to his state. The patron used, afterwards, his wealth or influence in helping his young client forward in the world. Cardinal Morton had been in earlier days that Bishop of Ely whom Richard III. sent to the Tower; was busy afterwards in hostility to Richard; and was a chief adviser of Henry VII., who in made him Archbishop of Canterbury, and nine months afterwards Lord Chancellor. Cardinal Morton - of talk at whose table there are recollections in "Utopia" - delighted in the quick wit of young Thomas More. He once said, "Whoever shall live to try it, shall see this child here waiting at table prove a notable and rare man." At the age of about nineteen, Thomas More was sent to Canterbury College, Oxford, by his patron, where he learnt Greek of the first men who brought Greek studies from Italy to England - William Grocyn and Thomas Linacre. Linacre, a physician, who afterwards took orders, was also the founder of the College of Physicians. In , More left Oxford to study law in London, at Lincoln's Inn, and in the nextyear Archbishop Morton died.

Healing Water: An Hawaiian Story

Healing Water: An Hawaiian Story

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Moyer Hostetter, Joyce, PUBLISHER: Calkins Creek Books, Nineteenth-century Hawai'i. Thirteen-year-old Pia's life is forever changed by leprosy. Pia has never known his real father. But Kamaka, a family friend, has taught him how to work, explore, and take on physical challenges. Pia believes Kamaka is fearless. He never suspects that a time will come when Kamaka could actually be afraid of" him." Neither does he expect his own body to betray him, or his government to tear him from his family and send him into exile. When Pia finds himself abandoned on Moloka'i, in Hawai'i's leprosy settlement, he turns to the skills he learned from Kamaka to help him survive. But the conditions are harsh. Pia discovers that he must choose between lawlessness and "aloha," revenge and forgiveness, his own willfulness and the example of someone worthy of being like a father. This fictional account was inspired by the experiences of the many Hawaiians who were sent to Moloka'i's isolated Kalaupapa peninsula starting in and by the life of Father Damien deVeuster, who chose to live and work there in the late s. The author conducted extensive research, working with experts and visiting the leprosy settlement. " Suddenly I felt my power. Kamaka wanted my friendship. But I did not want his. I looked at him and smiled a slow, taunting smile. Then I poured the water down the side of the mountain and watched it turn into a cool stream. It rippled over the rocks like an old song. But it was not a happy sound. "Swim by yourself, Kamaka," I said. "I will never swim with you again." The volcano erupted then and shook me awake." --FROM THE BOOK

Emergency Calls Emergency Calls Emergency Calls: Stories

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Fincke, Gary, PUBLISHER: University of Missouri Press, Troubled relationships between parents and children, most of them adults or at least in their late teens, provide the framework for many stories in this collection. In "Faculty X," a middle-aged son witnesses his mother's fixation with death and her attempt to cope with senility. "If I lose my glasses for good, you have to promise me you'll buy another pair just like them. I can't be buried without my glasses. I wouldn't be myself." In "Keeping Nice," Greg Haskins deals with his conflicting emotions of "contempt" for his aging mother's obsession to keep her belongings "nice" by covering them with plastic and his own fear of the uncontrollable forces around him. Both "Callback" and the moving title story, "Emergency Calls," explore the anxieties of parents trying to balance the need to protect their teenage children with the task of making them accountable for their own often self-destructive actions. "Darwin in the City" centers on a man's paranoia and anxiety attacks over everything from hearing his wife gurgle her last breath into her pillow to the impending blindness that he knows will be his fate. In "The Tabloid Strategy" an elderly man is determined to create a new beginning for himself. "'I'm running for office, ' Lou Gorski said to his daughter on his seventy-first birthday. 'I'm starting my second life.'" The reader soon discovers, however, that starting a second life isn't quite that simple. With vivid description and compelling dialogue, Gary Fincke pulls the reader deep into these stories and into the lives of these unforgettable characters. "Emergency Calls" is a masterful collection by a truly gifted writer.

Missouri Supreme Court

Missouri Supreme Court

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dunne, Gerald T., PUBLISHER: University of Missouri Press, In "The Missouri Supreme Court, " distinguished legal historian Gerald T. Dunne captures the people and personalities, conflicts and controversies of Missouri's rich legal history. Using a lively anecdotal approach to examine the key cases and political disputes, as well as the strong-minded incumbents who have served on the court's bench, he places Missouri's judicial system in the context of the overall political and legal developments in the United States as a whole. Dunne sets the scene by presenting Missouri before it became a state, tracing the evolution of Indian, Spanish, and French legal influences until the final adoption of a legal system based on the English common law. Then, through a compelling narrative, he recounts not only the factual background of major cases but also interesting biographical information about the disputants. Dunne reveals the fascinating history of the Missouri Supreme Court from the basic violation of human rights in the Dred Scott case up through the ethical questions addressed in the case of Nancy Cruzan's right to die. These are only two of the important decisions of the United States Supreme Court that had their origins in Missouri and are discussed here. These cases are landmarks not only because of what the higher courts said about them, but because of their intrinsic historical interest. Dunne concludes with portraits of key judges who served on the supreme court. He tells how diminutive Abiel Leonard killed a man in a duel on his way to the Missouri Supreme Court bench. And we learn of "The Sage of Sedalia," Henry Lamm, if not the greatest, certainly the most quotable member of the court who left behind a sparkling sequence of aphorisms. By incorporating such colorful details and enlivening his subject with gusto, charm, and humor, Dunne personalizes the Missouri Supreme Court beyond its institutional function. "The Missouri Supreme Court" is an enduring work that reflects the human condition, in both the law and the society it serves, in all its weakness and strength, error and achievement, and occasional glory.

A Christmas Spirit

A Christmas Spirit

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Rikki, PUBLISHER: Authorhouse, It is said that a crisis will either make or break a family. Sometimes, even the strongest of relationships can fall apart when troubles arise, and we can be shocked by the manner in which people respond to problems. Issues which were previously ignored or buried are suddenly emphasized, demanding attention, at any cost. Left ignored, the price is very high, as the family in this book discovers. "A Christmas Spirit" is an intensely emotional story about a family's journey through a very difficult and turbulent period. Already having endured many hardships, this family is fractured without even realizing it until the youngest child becomes critically ill. With Christmas approaching, the little girl's health takes a dramatic turn for the worse. Quietly, her parents and brothers begin falling apart and it doesn't take long before the fractures become enormous cracks, threatening to shatter the family completely. Four-year-old Angelina watches as her family is forced to confront its demons, and she longs for her parents and brothers to find their way to healing. But as with many healing journeys, things must get a lot worse before even beginning to get better... "A Christmas Spirit" is certain to move its readers to tears as they connect and identify with each member of the Lane family. Meet Angelina and the others: Wife and mother, Kathy, so lost in her own emotions that she withdraws from life, entirely in denial; her husband, Robert, guilt-ridden and feeling inadequate; teen son, James, consumed by his own anger to the point of self-destruction; and Elijah, the wise old ten-year-old soul, trying to be the glue that holds his family together. Follow these troubled hearts, who are lost and struggling to find their way through the darkness, and who have lost all hope of ever finding the light.
