Alice Kessler-Harris
In Pursuit of Equity: Women, Men, and the Quest for Economic Citizenship in Twentieth-Century America

y.
Publisher:
Description: In this volume, Alice Kessler-Harris explores the transformation of some of the United States` most significant social policies. Tracing changing ideals of fairness from the 1920s to the 1970s, she shows how a deeply embedded set of beliefs, or `genderedimagination` shaped seemingly neutral social legislation to limit the freedom and equality of women. Law and custom generally sought to protect women from exploitation, and sometimes from employment itself, but at the same time, they assigned the most important benefits to wage work. Most policy makers (even female ones) assumed from the beginning that women would not be breadwinners. Kessler-Harris shows how ideas about what was fair for men as well as women influenced old age and unemployment insurance, fair labor standards, Federal income tax policy, and the new discussion of women`s rights that emerged after World War II. Only in the 1960s and 1970s did the gendered imagination begin to alter--yet the process is far from complete. [detailed...]

On his return to the states, the doctors told him his neural system was destroyed and he would never walk again. A little over a year later he walked unaided. Just as he began celebrating his healing, his wife was diagnosed with leukemia. She didn?t survive, even with a bone marrow transplant. From these experiences Carl began a spiritual journey for his own personal healing, traveling to prayer conferences to learn from intercessory prayer leaders about healing and the relationship of prayer to healing. At the same time he looked at the life of Christ, only to discover Christ seemed to have no consistent strategy in healing. Or did he? [detailed...]

Gary Green
In Pursuit of Joy

2009 y.
Publisher:
Description: `In Pursuit of Joy is one of the most compelling books I have read in the last ten years. Gary Green tells his own deeply moving story of a journey from depression and alcohol problems to a life of peace with himself and the world. Although this is one man`s story, it applies to any of us who have ever felt alone with our problems, that we are unlovable in some way, and that there is no way out of the maze. Mr. Green shares the different paths that eventually led him out of his own maze, ranging from the philosophical to the psychological to the spiritual, never preaching, but always inviting people to find their own way to lead a richer, more joyful life. This book speaks directly to the heart of the matter and, uniquely, to the heart of the reader. If Mr. Green, a self-described `regular guy,` can recover his life, maybe we all can.` [detailed...]

Thomas, M Slawson
In Pursuit of Shadows: A Career in Counterintelligence

2006 y.
Publisher:
Description: Spies, espionage, intelligence, counterintelligence, clandestine activity and surveillance: these are not just the stuff of story books but incontrovertible facts of the world we live in, under threat of nuclear weapons, terrorist attacks on both sides of the Atlantic, political unrest, poverty driven crime. The list is endless and it is due to those who live in the shadows that we can rest easy in our beds. This personal and surprisingly open account offers a tantalizing glimpse into the everyday world of the counterintelligence officer practicing the skills vital to his survival, a world of deception, persuasion, instinct, innovation, experimentation and, to some extent, luck. Inevitably governed by politics, life is too often dictated, and therefore restricted, by directions from `on high` and inter-agency jealousy, but that is all just part of the `game`. If you understand dead drops, microdots, moles and double agents, In Pursuit of Shadows will whet your appetite and allow you [detailed...]

In Pursuit of the Common Good: Twenty-Five Years of Improving the World, One Bottle of Salad Dressing at a Time

2008 y.
Publisher:
Description: Shameless exploitation has never been more fun nor done more good for more people than when done by Newmans Ownthe first green food company to use all-natural ingredients, and still the most successful. It was 1982 when Paul Newman and A. E. Hotchner made their foray into local gourmet shops with bottles of their homemade salad dressing. The venture was intended to be a lark, a way to poke fun at the traditional way the market operates. Hurdling obstacle after obstacle, they created the first company to mass-market all-natural products, eliminating the chemicals, gums, and preservatives that existed in food at the time. This picaresque saga is the inspiring story of how the two friends parlayed the joke into a multimillion-dollar company that gives all its profits to the less fortunate without spending money on galas, mailings, and other expensive outreaches. It also serves as a textbook for foundations and charitable organizations looking to do the most good they can with what they [detailed...]

Description: The greatest travail to be undertaken by writers is that of the official biographer. In 1953, Beverly Nichols suggested Hector Bolitho, the New Zealand born biographer of Prince Albert, as the person best suited to write the biography of Pakistan`s founder, Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the Quaid-i-Azam and first Governor-General. Hector Bolitho`s Jinnah: Creator of Pakistan (1954) became his most celebrated and influential book. Frustrated however, at what he was not allowed to write or include, Bolitho preserved for scholars the first draft of his biography, his diary and notes, his correspondence with Government of Pakistan functionaries and highly placed individuals in Britain, India and Pakistan who had known Jinnah personally, and the English and American reviews of the book`s published version. All of this material is present in this volume.

In Search Of BPM Excellence: Straight From The Thought Leaders

2005 y.
Publisher:
Description: Business process innovation is on the minds of executives these days, and for good reason. In the 1990s, companies also had a focus on business processes. They used enterprise-wide networks to tear down walls between functional departments and reengineered their companies to remain competitive. Today, the universal connectivity of the Internet makes it possible to tear down walls between companies to reinvent entire value chains. The result? We are now witnessing a grand globalization of white collar work, outsourcing, offshoring and other new forms of extreme competition. Industry and national boundaries have become a blur. All is changed, and no industry is exempt. Pioneering companies have already disrupted incumbents and come from nowhere to dominate their industries. Their secret sauce? Business process management (BPM). This book brings together some of the best minds to explore the role and value of BPM, and what it portends. In its pages you will find the essential [detailed...]

Drawing on his background as an architect specializing in housing, environmental issues, and holistic design, Pearson compiles a collection of `environmentally clean` and `spiritually healthy` buildings from around the world and across the centuries. Some are environmentally sound, some congenial to human well-being, and others spiritually powerful.

2005 y.
Publisher:
Description: Book DescriptionSince World War II, Social Security and employer-based pension plans have become the foundations of an economic security that enables older Americans to retire with dignity and financial independence. Social insurance and tax advantaged retirement benefits currently face a number of challenges, however. The upcoming retirement of the baby boomers will swell the ranks of the retired, which are estimated to double by 2020, straining the Social Security and Medicare programs. Employers are struggling to keep their pension funds afloat, while fewer and fewer companies are offering traditional pension plans. Americans are living longer than ever before, which means they draw benefits longer, taxing the system. In Search of Retirement Security considers these challenges and provides fresh perspectives on the changing responsibilities of individuals, employers, and government in ensuring the continued dignity and independence of retirees.

Concepts that the reader will encounter along the way are at the cutting edge of scientific research.
