The Meaning and Role of Organizational Advocacy: Responsibility and Accountability in the Workplace

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The term organizational advocacy offers a new way to look at the interaction between people and their organizations. What each of us thinks, says, and does in the workplace, and the things we appreciate and that displease us--according to organizational advocacy--really matter. Organizational advocacy puts responsibility and accountability for achievement where it should be: not with some distant manager but on us as individuals. Seiling`s book is an easily understood tour of this challenging new conceptand how it works from the ground up. [detailed...]

Jon Barnett
The Meaning of Environmental Security: Environmental Politics and Policy in the New Security Era

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book is a comprehensive, critical discussion of the new idea of environmental security. Jon Barnett looks at links between environmental degradation and national security. But the meaning of the concept is ambiguous, and an examination of its various interpretations and applications reveals much about the state of global environmental politics. Barnett argues that environmental security is ultimately driven more by the power of security-makers than by the need to address environmental problems.By systematically uncovering the deficiencies of existing discourses, he develops an alternative, critical Green approach with practical implications.

Simon Winchester
The Meaning of Everything: The Story of the Oxford English Dictionary

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: From the best-selling author of The Professor and the Madman, The Map That Changed the World, and Krakatoa comes a truly wonderful celebration of the English language and of its unrivaled treasure house, the Oxford English Dictionary. Writing with marvelous brio, Winchester first serves up a lightning history of the English language--`so vast, so sprawling, so wonderfully unwieldy`--and pays homage to the great dictionary makers, from `the irredeemably famous` Samuel Johnson to the `short, pale, smug and boastful` schoolmaster from New Hartford, Noah Webster. He then turns his unmatched talent for story-telling to the making of this most venerable of dictionaries. In this fast-paced narrative, the reader will discover lively portraits of such key figures as the brilliant but tubercular first editor Herbert Coleridge (grandson of the poet), the colorful, boisterous Frederick Furnivall (who left the project in a shambles), and James Augustus Henry Murray, who spent a… [detailed...]

Edmund Sears Morgan
The Meaning of Independence: John Adams, George Washington, And Thomas Jefferson (Richard Lectures for 1975, University of Virginia)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionAmericans did not at first cherish the idea of political severance from their mother country. In just a few years, however, they came to desire independence above all else. What brought about this change of feeling and how did it affect the lives of their citizens? To answer these questions, Edmund S. Morgan looks at three men who may fairly be called the `architects of independence,` the first presidents of the United States. Anecdotes from their letters and diaries recapture the sense of close identity many early Americans felt with their country`s political struggles. Through this perspective, Morgan examines the growth of independence from its initial declaration and discovers something of its meaning, for three men who responded to its challenge and for the nation that they helped create. The Meaning of Independence, first published in 1976, has become one of the standard short works on the first three presidents of the United States--George… [detailed...]

The Meaning of Market Process: Essays in the Development of Modern Austrian Economics (Foundations of the Market Economy)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Israel M. Kirzner, the foremost proponent of the modern Austrian theory of the market process, offers substantive new insights and a historical interpretation of how the ideas of the modern Austrians emerged. The Austrian theory criticizes the ``tight equilibrium`` approach of mainstream economics by emphasizing the role of ignorance, uncertainty and the passage of time. Yet modern Austrians do not reject the major conclusions of economics, instead, they steer a middle course between those who believe the world is always in full coordination and those who believe it has no coordinating properties.

Bruce Dowbiggin
The Meaning of Puck: How Hockey Explains Modern Canada

2008 y.
Publisher: Key Porter Books
Description: 1. Hockey is more than a game. It`s more than a way of life. In Canada, it`s a portrait of who we are. It`s a window into our very soul. In The Meaning of Puck, best-selling author Bruce Dowbiggin takes a peek into that window and-frankly-it`s not always such a pretty picture. Viewed through the prism of hockey, Canada is--Dowbiggin argues-a land of compelling and surprising… even ugly and embarassing contradictions. In a series of essays that is a road trip across the nation`s cultural landscape, he shows how the national passion of hockey reflects-or deflects-the issues of globalization, regionalism, anti-Americanism, militarism, violence, racism and greed. Why are Canadians, for instance, such strenuous advocates of pacifism and non-militarism around the world while simultaneously embracing - and promoting - the world`s most vicious and violent brand of hockey? As the legion of apologists for Todd Bertuzzi`s thuggish play dramatize, it`s not the Americans who popularize violence… [detailed...]

Sidney Poitier
The Measure of a Man: A Spiritual Autobiography

2007 y.
Publisher: HarperSanFrancisco
Description: `I have no wish to play the pontificating fool, pretending that I`ve suddenly come up with the answers to all life`s questions. Quite that contrary, I began this book as an exploration, an exercise in self-questing. In other words, I wanted to find out, as I looked back at a long and complicated life, with many twists and turns, how well I`ve done at measuring up to the values I myself have set`. Sidney Poitier In this luminous memoir, a true American icon looks back on his celebrated life and career. His body of work is arguably the most morally significant in cinematic history, and the power and influence of that work are indicative of the character of the man behind the many storied roles. Sidney Poitier here explores these elements of character and personal values to take his own measure-as a man, as a husband and a father, and as an actor. Poitier credits his parents and his childhood on tiny Cat Island in the Bahamas… [detailed...]

The Measurement of Productive Efficiency: Techniques and Applications

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This work focuses on measuring and explaining producer performance. The authors view performance as a function of the state of technology and economic efficiency, with the former defining a frontier relation between inputs and outputs, the former incorporating waste and misallocation relative to this frontier. They show that insights can be gained by allowing for the possibility of a divergence between the economic objective and actual performance, and by associating this inefficiency with causal variables subject to managerial or policy influence. Derived from a series of lectures held on techniques and applications of the three approaches to the construction of production frontiers and measure of efficiency, this work will be an essential reference to scholars of a variety of disciplines who are involved with quantitative methods or policy.

The contributions challengethe entire system of agriculture and the food market, asserting that animal welfare, human welfare, and the welfare of the planet go hand in hand. [detailed...]

The Meat You Eat: Corporate Farming and the Decline of the American Diet

Publisher: —
Description: `We have given up to the agribusiness corporations a crucial part of our responsibility as human beings and we must now think of ways to take it back.` - Wendell Berry, from the Foreword In this eye-opening book, Sierra Club Director Ken Midkiff exposes the dangers posed by corporate control of agriculture (agribusiness)--to our health, and to the health of the nation`s economy, security, and the environment. The Meat You Eat explores the current practices of the corporations taking over the raising and slaughtering of farm animals (and farmed fish, such as salmon). These companies use a model that has transformed livestock farming from quality-driven family-owned operations into big businesses concerned with volume, efficiency, uniformity, and profits above all. Midkiff reveals the true cost of agribusiness on all levels-environmental, financial, moral, legal, and medical-balancing startling truths with practical solutions. Rather than advocate… [detailed...]

The Mechanical Mind in History

2008 y.
Publisher: The MIT Press
Description: The idea of intelligent machines has become part of popular culture, and t tracing the history of the actual science of machine intelligence reveals a rich network of cross-disciplinary contributions-the unrecognized origins of ideas now central to artificial intelligence, artificial life, cognitive science, and neuroscience. In The Mechanical Mind in History, scientists, artists, historians, and philosophers discuss the multidisciplinary quest to formalize and understand the generation of intelligent behavior in natural and artificial systems as a wholly mechanical process. The contributions illustrate the diverse and interacting notions that chart the evolution of the idea of the mechanical mind. They describe the mechanized mind as, among other things, an analogue system, an organized suite of chemical interactions, a self-organizing electromechanical device, an automated general-purpose information processor, and an integrated collection of symbol manipulating mechanisms….

Oliver E. Williamson
The Mechanisms of Governance

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book brings together in one place the work of one of our most respected economic theorists on a field in which he has played a large part in originating: the New Institutional Economics. Transaction cost economics, which studies the governance of contractual relations, is the branch of the New Institutional Economics with which Oliver Williamson is especially associated. Transaction cost economics has had a pervasive influence on current economic thought about how and why institutions function as they do, and it has become a practical framework for research in organizations by representatives of a variety of disciplines. Through a transaction cost analysis, The Mechanisms of Governance shows how and why simple contracts give way to complex contracts and internal organization as the hazards of contracting build up. That complicates the study of economic organization, but a richer and more relevant theory of organization is the result. Many testable implications and lessons for… [detailed...]
