Pat Williams
The Paradox of Power : A Transforming View of Leadership

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: As Senior Executive Vice President of the Orlando Magic, Pat Williams is known throughout the sports world as a consummate promoter and a keen talent scout. His boundless imagination and zany antics have led his team to victory since their very first season. But Williams` leadership philosophy is untraditional, to say the least. Now, he shares that unique philosophy, which bucks conventional management wisdom and is founded instead upon the Scriptures, using Jesus Christ as a leadership model. Examining the paradoxes that made Christ an exceptional leader, he then offers fascinating and instructive examples that make those principles relevant today. Successful leadership is not a matter of simply maximizing profits, but of striving to make this world a better place, and Williams shows how the paradoxical approach is so much more powerful than traditional leadership based on common sense.

Daniel Little
The Paradox of Wealth and Poverty: Mapping the Ethical Dilemmas of Global Development

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description We live in a time of human paradoxes. Scientific knowledge has reached a level of sophistication that permits understanding of the most arcane phenomena and yet religious fundamentalism dominates in many parts of the world. We witness the emergence of a civil, liberal constitutionalism in many regions of the world and yet ethnic violence threatens the lives and dignity of millions. And we live in a time of rapid economic and technological advance and yet several billions of people live in persistent debilitating poverty. In this book, Daniel Little dissects these paradoxes offering the clearest perspective on how best to approach international development. Using both empirical and philosophical approaches, Little provides a schematic acquaintance with the most important facts about global development at the turn of the twentieth century. In doing so, he explores what appear to be the most relevant moral principles and insights that ought to be invoked as we consider… [detailed...]

The Paradoxical Kingdom

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The major player in the OPEC international oil industry cartel, Saudi Arabia is also the homeland of the Prophet Muhammad and the center of the Muslim world with the most sacred Islamic sites located in and around the cities of Mecca and Madina. To the non-Saudi, the kingdom appears remarkably calm and stable, at least by the standards of the Middle East. But the rise of a new type of international terrorism, personified by exiled Saudi Osama bin Laden and with extensive roots in post- Gulf War Saudi Arabia, testifies to a volatile underground of discontent within the kingdom. Ideological frustration with the Saudi regime`s perceived submission to American imperialism has merged with Saudi Arabia`s chronic social and economic inequality to createan increasingly unstable situation. Daryl Champion, a specialist in Saudi Arabian affairs, opens a vista on these developments usually closed to Western observers. In the face of internal and external calls for reform and the mounting… [detailed...]

The Paralegal`s Guide To The Microsoft Office System (Vertiguide)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The MicrosoftA® Office System is the most popular desktop suite of personal productivity tools and technologies. Because the Microsoft Office suite of tools is so comprehensive, it can be challenging for people in certain professions to understand how to use Office to perform tasks specific to their job. This book focuses on the tasks a Paralegal performs every day?rather than the all too common software-centric approach that many other technology books habitually adopt. Other Microsoft Office books on the market for the legal profession are often difficult to understand because they largely address an Information Technology (IT) audience, cover too many professions in a single book, or are so large (more than 800 pages) as to be overwhelming. This book was written with Paralegals in mind. In fact, this book was developed by consulting and interviewing industry experts, legal trainers, technology experts, attorneys, and of course, Paralegals. The authors learned exactly which… [detailed...]

The Paretian School and Italian Fiscal Sociology

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In the 1930s, a Pareto vogue in economics and in sociology emerged in the English-speaking world. In Italy, however, the Paretian episode was already well established by the early 1900s. Moreover, the character of the episode in Italy was quite different to that in other parts of the world: Pareto`s influence was much more immediate, more extensive and more enduring, with many Italian economists investigating the relationship between economics and sociology based on Pareto`s contributions. This book establishes the case for referring to the `Paretian school` of thought in Italy and investigates the contribution of Paretian scholars to `fiscal sociology`. [detailed...]

In these letters, Eakins speaks openly and frankly about human relationships, male companionship, marriage, and women.

The Paris-Lexington Road : Community-Based Planning and Context Sensitive Highway Design (Case Studies in Land and Community Design)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Located in the heart of the Kentucky Bluegrass Region, the `Paris Pike` is a scenic, twelve-mile corridor running between Lexington and Paris. Beginning in 1969, the state of Kentucky sought to widen the road in order to improve safety and capacity. Various objections led to a federal court injunction imposed in 1979 that halted the project for more than fifteen years. Over the span of three decades, several consultant studies contributed to the public understanding of the road`s significance and set the stage for what has been regarded as the model for context-sensitive road reconstruction in America. The Paris-Lexington Road focuses on the history of the reconstruction of the Paris Pike (now renamed the `Paris-Lexington Road`) to critically review this reconstruction project and illustrate its significance to the profession of landscape architecture. It also situates the role of landscape architects in the history of highway design, and examines the… [detailed...]

The Parish Churches of Medieval England

1995 y.
Publisher: Chancellor Press
Description: Most books on the parish churches of England have considered them only as surviving edifices, emphasizing the physical form of each building rather than the historical influences that have fashioned their structure. Yet many cherished peculiarities of our medieval churches can only be understood by examining the role of the Church against the social background of the English Middle Ages as a whole. Each building`s centuries of worship have accumulated details of the architecture and furnishing the traditional and familiar appearance of which obscures a history of often significant change. Within an all-important chronological framework, Professor Platt explains the physical testimony of England`s thousands of surviving medieval parish churches in terms of several influences: patterns of patronage, liturgical requirements, the need to instruct congregations who were largely unlettered, the appointment and maintenance of a qualified priesthood, the enchantment of churches by a… [detailed...]

The Parrot`s Theorem: A Novel

Publisher: St. Martin`s Griffin
Description: Murder mystery meets mathematical history in this pleasantly whimsical but unfocused debut novel, which begins when a Parisian bookseller named Pierre Ruche receives a priceless collection of historical math books from a wartime colleague named Elgar Grosrouvre. Grosrouvre`s mathematical treasure is augmented when a precocious, math-savvy parrot is rescued by a young deaf boy named Max Liard after he discovers two men trying to capture and muzzle the bird. Max, who was adopted, lives with Ruche along with his rather flaky mother, Perette, and his older twin brother and sister, who are called Jon-and-Lea. The arrival of the library sends Ruche into a tizzy of mathematical research until he realizes that his friend`s desire to bequeath the collection may have stemmed in part from threats to his life. The parrot plays a vital role in the unraveling of the mystery when Ruche discovers that the talking bird has become the verbal repository for Grosrouvre`s groundbreaking work on an… [detailed...]

Now Patrick is coming home. And in the Mississippi city where it all began, an extraordinary trial is about to begin. As prosecutors circle like sharks, as Patrick`s lawyer prepares his defense, as Patrick`s lover prays for his deliverance and his former partners wait for their revenge, another story is about to emerge.
