B. N. Ghosh, "Managing Soft Skills for Personality Development"
English | 2012 | ISBN: 0071078134 | PDF | pages: 306 | 15.5 mb
Development is sometimes defined as the process of expansion of human capabilities rather than materialistic acquisition and possession. The significance of personality development transcends beyond the individual domain and is now recognized as a critical component of corporate success. This is one of the reasons why the modern corporate sector is now engaged in soft skill development to make the hard skill endowment of its professionals more complete, effective and successful. In the labour-surplus economy of India, it is interesting to observe that while the demand for labour is growing rapidly, most of the unemployed labour cannot effectively be absorbed in productive occupations. Many of the unemployed labourers seeking opening in the labour market possess the necessary hard skill but are deficient in soft skill and the desirable personality pattern. As a matter of fact, soft skills and desirable personality traits have many things in common and they are complementary in nature, in spite of some minor nuances. The title of the book reflects an interlocking relationship between what seems to be the two apparently different domains.

Duane Rousselle, "Jacques Lacan and American Sociology: Be Wary of the Image"
English | 2019 | ISBN: 3030197255 | PDF | pages: 102 | 1.2 mb
In this Palgrave Pivot, Duane Rousselle aims to disrupt the hold that pragmatist ideology has had over American sociology by demonstrating that the social bond has always been founded upon a fundamental and primordial bankruptcy. Using the Lacanian theory of "capitalist discourse," Rousselle demonstrates that most of early American sociology suffered from an inadequate account of the "symbolic" within the mental and social lives of the individual subject. The psychoanalytic aspect of the social bond remained theoretically undeveloped in the American context. Instead it is the "image," a product of the imaginary, which takes charge over any symbolic function. This intervention into pragmatic sociology seeks to recover the tradition of "grand theory" by bringing psychoanalytical and sociological discourse into fruitful communication with one another.

Iraq, Vietnam, and the Limits of American Power By Robert K. Brigham
2008 | 238 Pages | ISBN: 1586484990 | PDF | 6 MB
Vietnam and Iraq are now linked forever. But a straight comparison between the two wars does injustice to solid history. In this revised and updated edition of Is Iraq Another Vietnam? historian Robert K. Brigham shows how the similarities between Iraq and Vietnam illuminate similar patterns of U.S. foreign policy behavior. A Vietnam expert, Brigham argues that the United States has turned to a foreign policy of expansion in times of external threat--or heightened threat perceptions--leading to limited Congressional debate and oversight. The results have been devastating. The massive financial hangover will be only one of the Iraq War's lasting legacies. The mechanisms are in place for change, but so far the U.S. has done little to alter the course of its foreign relations. It is crucial that we apply the lessons of Vietnam wisely and selectively--in this war and in the future.
