АламанМагазин. Книжный мир. Книги на иностранных языках(Foreign books): We Live Too Short and Die Too Long: How to Achieve and Enjoy Your Natural 100-Year-Plus Life Span

Description: Community organizers work at their jobs because they are passionate, because they believe that change is possible, and because they enjoy working with people. Although it`s not an occupation that leads to great wealth, community organizers can make a living at it. They get salaries, pensions and health insurance. They raise families. They do well by doing good. This book explores the world of community organizing through the voices of real people working in the field, in small towns and city neighborhoods--women and men of different races and economic backgrounds, ranging in age from those in their twenties to those in their sixties. Fourteen in-depth profiles tell the life stories of a cross-section of the diverse people who choose the life of an organizer. Other chapters, focused on issues of organizing, are tapestries of experience woven from the 81 interviews the authors conducted. [detailed...]

Now, two years later, it is time for her to come to terms with marriage, career, family, parenthood, and Kevin`s horrific rampage in a series of startlingly direct correspondences with her estranged husband, Franklyn.

We Shall Not Fail: The Inspiring Leadership of Winston Churchill

2004 y.
Publisher: —

Description: Book Description Winston Churchill has long been one of the world?s preeminent leadership role models, his voice still reverberating more than forty years after his death. This was illustrated when New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, described after 9/11 as `Winston Churchill in a Yankees cap,` wrote to Celia Sandys: `Your grandfather was a great source of inspiration and strength to me following the tragic events.` In We Shall Not Fail , Sandys (with coauthor Jonathan Littman) distills the traits that made Churchill so effective throughout his career, including his use of language, his courage under fire, and his willingness to defy convention and stand up to bullies. Drawing on vivid personal stories, as well as her grandfather?s letters and speeches, Sandys reveals the lessons we must all learn if we are to lead in today?s tough times. [detailed...]

We Should Never Meet : Stories

2004 y.
Publisher: —

Description: Book Description Compelling, moving, and beautifully written, the interlinked stories that make up We Should Never Meet alternate between Saigon before the city`s fall in 1975 and present-day `Little Saigon` in Southern California---exploring the reverberations of the Vietnam War in a completely new light. Intersecting the lives of eight characters across three decades and two continents, these stories dramatize the events of Operation Babylift, the U.S.-led evacuation of thousands of Vietnamese orphans to America just weeks before the fall of Saigon. Unwitting reminders of the war, these children were considered bui doi, the dust of life, and faced an uncertain, dangerous existence if left behind in Vietnam. Four of the stories follow the saga of one orphan`s journey from the points-of-view of a teenage mother, a duck farmer and a Catholic nun from the Mekong Delta, a social worker in Saigon, and a volunteer doctor from America. The other four take place… [detailed...]

We Tried to Warn You: Innovations in leadership for the learning organization

2008 y.
Publisher: —

Description: This book was written as a response to the positive and heartening reception to a series of articles published (online and print) on innovative interventions in organizations. The core message of We Tried to Warn You is that every day, micro-failures of communication and their cover-ups can accumulate, and enable a network of decisions that lead to systemic-level failures of organizations. I report on first hand experiences as an organizational participant, and more recently as a design/management consultant, informed by the substantive research published over the years by key authors I have learned from, and cite in the book. I focus emphasis on the knowledge-based practices that enable organizations to sense and make decisions from critical feedback from customers in the field, especially the multidisciplinary field now known as `user experience` (or UX).
