Raul Lejano, "A Phenomenology of Institutions: Relationality and Governance in China and Beyond" English | ISBN: 1138667366 | 2018 | 162 pages | PDF | 2 MB To a degree insufficiently captured by the term governance, the present age is one of institutional complexity. China is a case in point. An amalgam of socialist, capitalist, corporatist, and pluralist characteristics, China's systems of governance defy classification using extant categories in the institutionalist literature. What, after all, is a socialist market system?  Yunze Zhao, "A History of Journalism and Communication in China " English | ISBN: 113885509X | 2018 | 182 pages | PDF | 1174 KB From a modern perspective, journalism is highly relevant to modern society, along with the emergence of mass printing system and professionalisation. This book, however, expands the meaning of journalism and views it as a social process. It will not only explore the roots and development of Chinese journalism and communication, but also demonstrate how Chinese journalism and communication interact and struggle with social culture and politics.  42 Rules of Marketing: A Funny Practical Guide with the Quick and Easy Steps to Success By Laura Lowell 2007 | 108 Pages | ISBN: 0979942802 | PDF | 1 MB This book is a very easy read. Laura Lowell provides sound insight from an online business/internet marketing standpoint. I also found the book to be quite humorous and engaging. The reader will be able to extract some very useful golden nuggets on marketing effectiveness, viral marketing, and real world wisdom. I particularly enjoyed the author's insight into "Planning a Little So You Can Do a Lot More". I certainly agree with her classification of marketing people as "Planners" and "Doers". I recommend this book.  101 Ways to Really Satisfy Your Customers: How to Keep Your Customers and Attract New Ones By Andrew Griffiths 2007 | 255 Pages | ISBN: 1741750083 | PDF | 2 MB This book has some really good ideas. However it should mention that the book is designed for businesses who employ staff. As a one person business there were many ideas that I couldn't use - such as telling your staff how to approach customers, getting feedback from staff, watching your staff while they are dealing with customers etcI found myself skipping over pages to get to the next idea that was applicable to my situation. If you don't employ staff you may be a little disappointed in this book as it has many tips you can't use. If you do employ staff - you'll probably love this book as you'll be able to use them all.  Work Disrupted: Opportunity, Resilience, and Growth in the Accelerated Future of Work by Jeff Schwartz, Suzanne Riss English | January 15th, 2021 | ISBN: 1119762278 | 240 pages | True EPUB | 20.40 MB If you only read one book on the future of work, Work Disrupted: Opportunity, Resilience, and Growth in the Accelerated Future of Work should be that book.  Wiki Management: A Revolutionary New Model for a Rapidly Changing and Collaborative World by Rod Collins English | 2013 | ISBN-10: 0814433081 | 240 pages | PDF | 2 MB We now live in a "wiki" world where mass collaboration is not only possible - it's often the best solution. Conventional management thought assumes that command - and - control is the most effective way to organize the efforts of large numbers of people, but rapid change and increasing complexity have rendered that model obsolete. As a result, most managers today lack the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in an age when networks are proving smarter and faster than hierarchies. Designing organizations for mass collaboration demands a new and very different model-wiki management. Featuring enlightening examples from forward-thinking companies including Google, Whole Foods, Linux, and Wikipedia, Wiki Management outlines the revolutionary but necessary steps companies must take to: leverage their collective intelligence; effectively integrate diverse points of view; transition leaders from the role of "boss" to that of facilitator; make "delighting customers" more important than pleasing superiors; and achieve a shared and actionable understanding of the key drivers of business success. The power of networks is dramatically reshaping both the work we do-and the way we work. This groundbreaking book reveals what it takes to succeed in this fast-paced and exciting business environment.  D. M. Carter, "Why Athens?: A Reappraisal of Tragic Politics" English | ISBN: 0199562326 | 2011 | 496 pages | PDF | 4 MB This collection of fourteen essays and six short responses reconsiders Greek tragedy as a reflection of Athenian political culture. The contributors try to avoid making the controversial assumption that the politics of tragedy were of simple relevance to the Athenian democracy. Instead, they look for other ways to explain the Athenianness of tragedy. These include: the polyphonic discourse of tragedy; the presentation of Athens in some plays (and the representation of foreigners too); tragedy as an Athenian form of choral performance; and the ways in which family matters are presented, for example marriage alliances or inheritance law. Why Athens? opens up important new ways of considering tragedy as a political art form.  What Is Thought? By Eric B. Baum 2006 | 475 Pages | ISBN: 0262025485 | PDF | 3 MB Although I spent very considerable time with this book, I conclude it is ultimately a failure in that it never addresses its title question. From the first, Baum asserts "the mind is a computer program," and therefore thought is the execution of a computer program. But he proves his statement by assertion, never by investigating how the mind's functioning is adequately described as a computer program. I would have been more convinced if he ever discussed how a computer program would debug itself. Analogizing with training of a neural net is not sufficient. He would have to explain how a program decided not to be a neural network, but rather .... but here his entire methodology breaks down. He would need a conceptual framework not borrowed from computer science, but from psychology, or philosophy, or metaphysics, or even poetry. But these disciplines are of course "non-rigorous," as is the functioning of mind. Another startling flaw in his argument is his devotion to Occam's razor, and how he elaborates this point. He asserts that observations that a dependent variable is linearly related to its independent variable is a compact description of reality, and therefore captures semantics, bridges the gap between observation and semantics. But the real question is, what is the agent that determines the linearity? The answer I offer is thought, human intelligence, mind. He has not done anything for the fundamental question of epistemology.  P. H. Matthews, "What Graeco-Roman Grammar Was About" English | ISBN: 0198830114 | 2019 | 256 pages | PDF | 1423 KB This book explains how the grammarians of the Graeco-Romance world perceived the nature and structure of the languages they taught. The volume focuses primarily on the early centuries AD, a time when the Roman Empire was at its peak; in this period, a grammarian not only had a secure place in the ancient system of education, but could take for granted an established technical understanding of language. By delineating what that ancient model of grammar was, P. H. Matthews highlights both those aspects that have persisted to this day and seem reassuringly familiar, such as 'parts of speech', as well as those aspects that are wholly dissimilar to our present understanding of grammar and language. The volume is written to be accessible to students of linguistics from undergraduate level upwards, and assumes no knowledge of Latin or Ancient Greek.  Mark Philip Bradley, "Vietnam at War" English | ISBN: 0192803492 | 2009 | 233 pages | PDF | 2 MB For many Westerners, the Vietnam War summons images of American soldiers patrolling rice paddies, battling an elusive enemy as helicopters circle overhead. But there were, in fact, many Vietnam wars-an anti-colonial war with France, a cold war turned hot with the United States, a civil war between North and South Vietnam and among southern Vietnamese, a revolutionary war of ideas over the vision that should guide Vietnamese society into the postcolonial future, and a postwar war of memory. This book explores the complex ways in which the Vietnamese themselves have made sense of those conflicts. |
