Perri 6, Paul Richards, "Mary Douglas: Understanding Social Thought and Conflict" English | 2017 | pages: 257 | ISBN: 1785335618, 1785334220 | PDF | 1,2 mb Mary Douglas's innovative explanations for styles of human thought and for the dynamics of institutional change have furnished a distinctive and powerful theory of how conflicts are managed, yet her work remains astonishingly poorly appreciated in social science disciplines. This volume introduces Douglas's theories, and outlines the ways in which her work is of continuing importance for the future of the social sciences. Mary Douglas: Understanding Human Thought and Conflict shows how Douglas laid out the agenda for revitalizing social science by reworking Durkheim's legacy for today, and reviews the growing body of research across the social sciences which has used, tested or developed her approach.  Marvel's Avengers: Black Panther: War for Wakanda Expansion: Art of the Hidden Kingdom by Matthew Pellett English | December 20th, 2022 | ISBN: 1803360674 | 160 pages | True EPUB | 37.65 MB The official art book for the Marvel's Avengers expansion Black Panther: War for Wakanda  Many Worlds Under One Heaven: Material Culture, Identity, and Power in the Northern Frontiers of the Western Zhou, 1045-771 BCE (Tang Center Series in Early China) by Yan Sun English | July 20, 2021 | ISBN: 0231198426 | True EPUB/PDF | 336 pages | 15.6/14 MB In the mid-eleventh century BCE, the Zhou overthrew the Shang, a dynastic power that had dominated much of northern and central China. Over the next three centuries, they would extend the borders of their political control significantly beyond those of the Shang. The Zhou introduced a political ideology centered on the Mandate of Heaven to justify their victory over the Shang and their territorial expansion, portraying the Zhou king as ruling the frontier from the center of civilization. Present-day scholarship often still adheres to this core-periphery perspective, emphasizing cultural assimilation and political integration during Zhou rule. However, recent archaeological findings present a more complex picture.

Simmons, Chantal de Jonge Oudraat, Jessica T. Mathews, "Managing Global Issues: Lessons Learned" English | 2001 | ISBN: 087003183X | PDF | pages: 783 | 2.5 mb Globalization is pushing to the fore a wide variety of global problems that demand urgent policy attention. Managing Global Issues provides a comprehensive comparative assessment of international efforts to manage global problems. It identifies and explains successes and failures of such efforts, examines the roles of different actors, and outlines lessons that may guide future action by governments, international organizations, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector. The volume's 16 case studies examine organized crime, drugs, corruption, human rights, labor rights, health, trade, financial markets, development assistance, the environment, the global commons, communications, weapons of mass destruction, conventional weapons, internal conflicts, and refugees. Managing Global Issues is the result of an international multidisciplinary research team composed of experts in specific global issue areas. The book's broad scope, numerous case studies and its rigorous comparative analytical framework offers a unique and valuable contribution to the rapidly growing literature on global governance.

Fleisher, "Managing Frontiers in Competitive Intelligence" English | 2000 | ISBN: 1567203841 | PDF | pages: 328 | 41.6 mb For specialists and nonspecialists alike, this perceptive selection of the newest and up and coming tools and techniques of competitive intelligence, offering a well balanced combination of theory and practice. It shows how advances in computers and technology have accelerated progress in CI management, and the ways in which CI has affected (and been affected by) all major business functions and processes. It explores applications to organizations of various sizes and types, in both the public and private sectors. Editors Fleisher and Blenkhorn link leading-edge research in CI to advances in current practice, and balance pragmatic against conceptual concerns. Analysts, strategists and organizational decision makers at higher levels will find the book especially valuable, as they seek to make sense of the business environment and assess their organizations' evolving, dynamic places in it.  Management and Visualisation: Seeing Beyond the Strategic English | 2023 | ISBN: 1032302518 | 140 Pages | PDF (True) | 6 MB As organisations of all sizes become increasingly digitalised, a core management challenge remains unresolved. The ability to successfully and sustainably connect the stated vision of an organisation with its strategic plans and, in turn, with the reported reality of day-to-day operations, is largely an elusive ambition, despite the many stated advantages provided by contemporary technologies. In this book, the case is made for visual management as a method of communications, planning, learning and reporting that connects the organisation in a single, meaningful and seamless way.  Meeka Walsh, "Malleable Forms: Selected Essays" English | ISBN: 1927886600 | 2022 | 480 pages | EPUB | 711 KB "Walsh's writings are stunning examples of how to look, how to feel, how to see."  Male Rape, Masculinities, and Sexualities: Understanding, Policing, and Overcoming Male Sexual Victimisation (Palgrave Hate Studies) by Aliraza Javaid English | October 20, 2018 | ISBN: 3319526383 | 268 pages | PDF | 1.59 Mb This book critically explores the intersections between male rape, masculinities, and sexualities. It examines the ways in which male rape is policed, responded to, and addressed by state and voluntary agencies in Britain. The book uncovers how notions of gender, sexualities and masculinities shape these agencies' understanding of male rape and their views of men as victims of rape. Javaid pays particular attention to the police and deconstructs police subculture to consider whether it influences and shapes the ways in which police officers provide services for male rape victims. Grounded in qualitative interviews and data derived from the state and voluntary sector, this book will be invaluable reading for sociologists, criminologists, and social scientists who are keen to learn more about gender, policing, sexual violence and male sexual victimisation. |
