Sites of Violence: Gender and Conflict Zones

2004 y.
Publisher: University of California Press
Description: In conflict zones from Iraq and Afghanistan to Guatemala and Somalia, the rules of war are changing dramatically as the distinctions between battlefield and home, soldier and civilian, state security and domestic security break down. In this especially timely book, a group of powerful international authors doing feminist research brings the highly gendered and racialized dimensions of these changes into sharp relief. In essays on nationalism, the political economy of conflict, and the politics of asylum, they investigate what happens when the body, household, nation, state, and economy become sites at which violence is invoked against people.

Sitting Bull Remembers

2007 y.
Publisher: HarperCollins
Description: Sitting Bull of the Hunkpapa band of the Sioux Nation was a warrior, a visionary, a horseman and hunter, and a man who had a deep affinity with nature. Above all, he is remembered as an extraordinary leader who fought for the freedom of his people and helped to preserve their spirit, even in a time of great tragedy. Chosen to be the war chief of the Sioux Nation in 1869 as battles with the United States government increased, he resisted the white soldiers who threatened to exterminate his people, their claim to the land, and their entire way of life. From the acclaimed author and illustrator of `Abe Lincoln Remembers` comes an unforgettable fictional portrait of Sitting Bull, looking back on the events that shaped his life and fate. Historically accurate, powerfully evocative paintings and words are as moving as the story they tell. [detailed...]

Sitting Bull

Description: `Sitting Bull, leader of the largest Indian nation on the continent, the strongest, boldest, most stubborn opponent of European influence, was the very heart and soul of the frontier. When the true history of the New World is written, he will receive his chapter. For Sitting Bull was one of the makers of America.` --Stanley Vestal One night, long ago, Tatanka Iyotanka--Sitting Bull--stepped into the faint light of a kerosene lantern. Jerome Stillson of the New York Herald looked into the eyes of the world`s most famous American Indian--and living mystery. `Your face is dark,` Stillson told him. `My people do not see it.` What Stillson said remains true to this day. Sitting Bull`s name is still the best known of any American Indian leader, but his life and legacy remain shrouded with misinformation and half-truths. Sitting Bull`s life spanned the entire clash of cultures and ultimate destruction of the Plains Indian way of life. He was a powerful leader and a respected shaman, but… [detailed...]

Sitting in the Hot Seat : Leaders and Teams for Critical Incident Management

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Crisis management is an area of activity which has been propelled to the forefront of the management agenda as a consequence of a number of recent incidents. Increasingly, the responsibility for taking command in an emergency is being placed on senior managers in charge, not only of well-known high-risk sites such as oil rigs and chemicals plants, but also of places where the public have a right to expect to be safe. The bombings of the World Trade Center in New York and of Manchester city centre, and the Hillsborough disaster ? each called on the skills and courage of people in a suddenly high-risk and high-profile situation. These are internationally memorable incidents ? but every day there are non-routine critical incidents which call on the skills, and test the training, of emergency professionals and `ordinary` managers alike. How are they prepared for the task? How are they trained? How are they monitored? Increasingly, the responsibility of individuals who are… [detailed...]

Six Architects (Arquitectura Contemporanea)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn this extraordinary book we see the work of six Guatemalan architects, six creative voices who, in an individual or collective form, have redefined and given a poetic spatial quality to the contemporary architecture of their country. Members of the firm known, quite simply, as `Seis Arquitectos` (Peter Giesemann, Carlos M. Lara, Raul Minondo, Ernesto Porras, Rodolfo Solares, Rafael Tinoco), they are exponents of a style with a minimalist touch and a strong commitment to the value of theabstract, the geometrically pure and the spatially rich. Without falling into a reductionist posture, their design proposals seek a primal purity based on ideas which emphasize that form and space shape and adjust themselves to function, without superficial ornamentation, nor the utilization of rigid axes, nor the imposition of classical orders. Guided by a romantic minimalism, they give a frank expression to the structure that delineates the different ambits they create,… [detailed...]

Six Plays by Henrik Ibsen (Barnes &, Noble Classics Series) (B&,N Classics Trade Paper)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description The father of modern drama, Henrik Ibsen shook off the stale conventions of nineteenth-century theater and made the stage play an instrument for brilliantly illuminating the dark recesses of human nature. After writing historical plays and imaginative epic dramas in verse, such as Peer Gynt , Ibsen turned away from history and romanticism to focus instead on the problems of the individual and modern society. The plays of his middle period— A Doll’s House, Ghosts, The Wild Duck, and his most popular play, Hedda Gabler —are masterpieces of stark psychological realism. In his final plays, including The Master Builder , Ibsen mixed realism and symbolism to enrich his examination of our subconscious drives and urges. Ibsen was criticized and denounced during his lifetime for expanding the boundaries of what is acceptable fare for the stage. Audiences were shocked when he wrote of feminist yearnings, venereal disease, and… [detailed...]

It proposes simple remedies for certain defined frailties in the standard approach, particularly those related to the Sigma Measure that provides the brand name for the Six Sigma breakthrough strategy. The book is highly supportive of the Six Sigma continuous improvement process, provided it is tailored to the needs and expectations of a particular organization. The commitment and active participation of top management is emphasized, to ensure the necessary change in culture and priorities demanded, in most organizations.
