Book DescriptionIn this warm, stimulating brew of personal stories, acclaimed author Kathleen Dean Moore uses the metaphor of an island to challenge the cynicism inherent in the Western worldview A gifted storyteller with a sly sense of humor, Moore explores three separations brought to us by Enlightenment philosophers: the separation of human ожйоь from nature, of things near and far away, and of the sacred from the mundane Challenging each, such as Descartes' idea that humans have a discrete consciousness and can alter creation while remaining unaltered themselves, she reveals why such divisions don't tally with the values expressed daily in the way people live Moore disguises her philosophical explorations in stories: about vacationing on a tiny island in Alaska, visiting her father in the hospital, watching grouse perform their mating dance in the desert Throughout, she shows that, when properly observed, the world is full of opportunities to find hidden connections.  2004 г 251 стр ISBN 1571312765.

Book DescriptionHRM policies and practices need to cope with the dual responsibilities of providing a firm with the best employees to deliver improved financial performance, and a moral duty to these employees to provide a working environment that is equitable and encourages personal development Many writers have emphasized the connection ожйпй between sophisticated HRM techniques and business performance, but has this been at the expense of concepts such as fairness and legitimacy? This book adopts a broaderperspective that takes into account not only the strategic dimension of HRM, but also the professional and societal dimension It begins by examining the interaction of HRM, strategy and performamce, before putting this into an institutional context, where it is argued that successful HRM practice will be unique for each context in which it operates It then develops a contextually-based human resource theory, able to examine and analyze HRM at an institutional, industry, national and international level This theory is then applied to a number of cases of leading firms in both the USA and Europe The book concludes by combining the empirical evidence of the case studies with the theoretical work of earlier chapters to develop a practical approach linking the different roles of HR to specific aspects of performance Combining academic research with a focus on practical conclusions and recommendations, HRM and Performance will be challenging and innovative reading for all involved in HRM: Academics, Researchers, MBA and graduate students, practitioners and consultants.  2004 г 252 стр ISBN 0199273901.

What makes a `green` house? Are ecological materials and solar panels on roof tops the only signs of an environmental architecture? Or were the designs of Antoni Gaudi and Frank Lloyd Wright even `greener` than the buildings of most contemporary architects, whose energy-efficient houses do not differ visibly from traditional modernist architecture? ожйпт In his book, James Wines discusses the various - and often irreconcilable - concepts of ecological architecture, and pleads for a design that not only calls for technological solutions but also longs to reconcile man and nature by aesthetic means The contemporary buildings featured cover the wide range of environmental architecture: organically and technologically orientated buildings that are rooted in landscapes or urban contexts, designed by 38 prominent architects including Emilio Ambasz, Nigel Coates, Charles Jencks, Jean Nouvel, Renzo Piano, and Antoine Predock Edited by Philip Jodidio Автор James Wines.  Издательство: Taschen, 2000 г Мягкая обложка, 240 стр ISBN 3822863033 Формат: 84x104/32 (~220x240 мм).

Pernille Hohnen has written a detailed ethnography of a Lithuanian market place in the mid-1990s and as such contributes significantly to the understanding of a phenomenon largely unaccounted for by anthropologists, namely shuttle trading, and a new form of transnationalism connected to the numerous outdoor markets that were established ожйрн all over Eastern and Central Europe during the 1990s, most of which still flourish Traders go as far as China, India, Turkey, and Poland and bring back items for local consumption as well as for retail, not only within the country, but throughout the region The global extension of the local market is astonishing, not least on account of the personal ingenuity invested in an uncertain business where one can only learn the hard way Furthermore, by combining a synchronic analysis of the market with an analysis of changing trading practices during the crucial 10-year period of the 1990s, the book sheds important light on processes of creativity and venture, as well as on the more gradual institutionalization of trading practices such as trade routes, trading routines, technology, and forms of political control Both traders and their environment tend to evaluate the market place as somehow outside civilized society The 'disorderly' nature of the market epitomizes contested social hierarchies and cultural categories, as well as privatized power relations in the form of racketeers which slowly gain legitimacy The analysis of the market place sheds light on changing discourses of ethnicity, gender and work in Lithuanian society as well as contributing to a more thorough theoretical understanding of 'transition' Автор Пернайлл Хонен Pernille Hohnen.  Издательство: Oxford University Press, 2004 г Твердый переплет, 176 стр ISBN 0199267626.
