A Communication Perspective on Leadership: Faculty Perceptions of the Department Chair

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: During their lifetime, most people will work for someone with poor leadership skills. This remains true in spite of the recent explosion of interest in the topic of leadership. This is especially evident in higher education as academic institutions throughout the country are creating programs in leadership studies.

Leadership is recognized as a communication phenomenon where relationships and conversational inquiry are the basis for leadership. Faculty perceptions of their department chair\`s leadership and communication styles are studied. The communication climate a department chair creates is crucial to departmental leadership. This book provides a practical model of communication behaviors a department chair can engage in to build an effective leadership climate. This book will no doubt be a key manual not only for department chairs, but… [detailed...]

A Companion to Luis Bunuel (Monografias A) (Monografias A)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionLuis Bunuel (1900-1983) was one of the truly great film-makers of the twentieth century. Shaped by a repressive Jesuit education and a bourgeois family background, he reacted against both, escaped to Paris, and was soon embraced by Andre Breton`s official surrealist group. His early films are his most aggressive and shocking, the slicing of the eyeball in Un Chien andalou (1929) one of the most memorable episodes in the history of cinema. The Forgotten Ones (1950) and He (1952), made in Mexico, were followed, from 1960, in Spain and France, by the films for which he is best known: Viridiana (1961), Belle de jour (1966), Tristana (1970), The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972), and That Obscure Object of Desire (1977).Gwynne Edwards analyses the films in the context of Bunuel`s personal obsessions - sex, bourgeois values, and religion - suggesting that the film-maker experienced a degree of sexual inhibition surprising in a surrealist.

A Companion to Medieval Arms and Armour

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A Companion to Medieval Arms and Armour covers the entire period from the fifth to the fifteenth century, a thousand years which saw huge changes in military technology in most of the world`s major civilisations. Arms and armour in Europe are the principal focus of the studies, but those of neighbouring civilisations, including the Byzantine Empire, eastern Europe, the steppes and the Islamic world, are also investigated, both for the impact upon them of European technological developments, and for their influence upon developments within western Europe. Arms and armour in Europe developed dramatically during the thousand years from the fifth to the fifteenth century. During this broad sweep of time civilisations rose and fell and population movements swept from east to west, bringing in their wake advances and modifications absorbed and expanded by indigenous populations. So although the primary focus of this book is on the arms and armour of Europe, it also includes neighbouring… [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionIn the early 1930s Henri van Abbe began to dream of building a center in Eindhoven where its people could be introduced to the mysteries of contemporary art--a place where they could enjoy art. In 1936 he realized this dream by donating to the city the Van Abbemuseum, which, at that time, still consisted primarily of artworks purchased and placed on loan by Henri van Abbe himself. Sixty years later, the Stedelijk Van Abbemuseum has grown into one of the most prominent museums for modern art in the world. Through the course of its history, the visionary acquisition policies of its often distinguished directors have given rise to an impressive collection that includes works by modern masters such as Picasso, Braque, Chagall, Kandinsky, El Lissitzky, and Mondrian, as well as by contemporary artists like Douglas Gordon, Pierre Huyghe, Mike Kelley, and Marijke van Warmerdam.
