Gerardo David Abreu Pederzini, "Considering Leadership Anew" English | ISBN: 1527537803 | 2019 | 186 pages | PDF | 2 MB For years now, leadership studies have emphasized functional social psychology approaches that reduce leadership to a couple of traits, styles, or recipes that supposedly give us the steps to follow when leading. The latter have taught us a lot, but are not enough to cope with the immense challenges of leading in a chaotic, intricate, complex and nonsensical world. This book compiles essays on alternative leadership theory from leading authors who have been defending unorthodox approaches to leadership. As such, it provides students, academics and researchers with options in terms of leadership theory. If mainstream approaches to leadership are not enough, then why do we not look for novel and different ones? Thus, this book is an effort to develop sui generis leadership theory, by exploring leadership from novel lenses from the arts and humanities, sciences, and sociology, as well as other social sciences.  Joyce Hill Stoner, Rebecca Rushfieldб "Conservation of Easel Paintings, 2nd Edition (Routledge Series in Conservation and Museology)" English | ISBN: 0367023792 | 2020 | EPUB | 948 pages | 21 MB Conservation of Easel Paintings, Second Edition provides a much-anticipated update to the previous edition, which has come to be known internationally as an invaluable and comprehensive text on the history, philosophy and methods of the treatment of easel paintings.  Ying-Dar Lin, Ren-Hung Hwang, Fred Baker, "Computer Networks: An Open Source Approach" English | 2011 | ISBN: 0073376248 | PDF | pages: 768 | 9.5 mb Ying-Dar Lin, Ren-Hung Hwang, and Fred Baker's Computer Networks: An Open Source Approach is the first text to implement an open source approach, discussing the network layers, their applications, and the implementation issues. The book features 56 open-source code examples to narrow the gap between domain knowledge and hands-on skills. Students learn by doing and are aided by the book's extensive pedagogy.  Ganesh Shermon, "Competency Based HRM: A Strategic Resource for Competency Mapping, Assessment and Development Centres" English | 2004 | ISBN: 0070528047 | PDF | pages: 548 | 31.7 mb This is an exhaustive reference for building organizational competency in order to meet challenges that exist in the present day work environment. This book, written by an eminent human resources specialist, contains very valuable material on competency, the competency mapping process, assessment centers as well as behavioral descriptions. It is a treasure chest of templates for assessments, interview questionnaires, metrics and more importantly concepts, that explain to a professional the know-how to integrate various hrm activities with a competency based system. The starting point of this book is that a competency development initiative must flow from the core business competencies. Thereby what is required is identification of people competencies from an understanding of the critical success factors that differentiate the organization from its competition. The strategic goals of the organization and consequently its competencies have to align with people competencies. For effective articulation or implementation of strategy, competencies form a crucial linking pin as it binds business objectives with that of people objectives. This book provides an exhaustive guidance to the leaders in the organization-including the ceo, hr managers, senior members of the sales, production, and service team to create an excellent organization. It elaborates the processes through specified time lines as to what's to be done. As we move from direct transfer to a specific skill or knowledge to a more complex set of processes, content, behaviors or procedures, learners require greater guidance in determining what training is appropriate for them at any given time.  Cold Peace: Stalin and the Soviet Ruling Circle, 1945-1953 By Yoram Gorlizki, Oleg Khlevniuk 2004 | 259 Pages | ISBN: 0195165810 | PDF | 4 MB In the period from the end of World War II until his death, Stalin became an increasingly distrustful despot. He habitually picked on and humiliated members of his inner circle, had them guarded around the clock, had their correspondence decoded by secret police, bugged the lines of even his most senior deputies, and even drove several to the point of publicly betraying their spouses in order to prove their allegiance. This book argues that Stalin's behavior was not entirely paranoid and erratic but followed a clear political logic. The authors contend that his system of leadership was at once both modern-Stalin vested authority in committees, elevated younger specialists, and made key institutional innovations-and patrimonial-repressive, informal, and based on personal loyalty. Always, Stalin's goal was to make the USSR a global power and, though the country teetered on the edge of violence during this period of acute domestic and international pressure, he succeeded in achieving superpower status and in holding on to power despite his old age and ill health. Based on the newest archival material available, including personal correspondence, drafts of Central Committee paperwork, new memoirs, and interviews with former functionaries and the families of Politburo members, this book will appeal to all those interested in Soviet history, political history, and the biographies of dictators.  Clock Cases: A Practical Guide to their Construction, Restoration and Conservation by Nigel Barnes, Karoliina Ilmonen 2016 | ISBN: 1785000233 | English | 208 pages | EPUB | 31 MB This practical, informative, and beautifully illustrated book will be essential reading for all those with a passion for mechanical clocks, and will be of particular interest to both amateurs and professionals alike who wish to work on clock cases and restore them in the correct way according to modern best practice. The authors, both experienced horological restorers, examine in detail the restoration processes and provide detailed descriptions, and a wealth of photographs and diagrams. Difficult, and often misunderstood, areas of restoration and conservation are explained in the context of 21st century thinking. The authors emphasize that sensitive and sympathetic clock case restoration is essential and, indeed, is the most economically attractive approach to adopt.  Michael Howard, "Clausewitz: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)" English | ISBN: 0192802577 | 2003 | EPUB | 96 pages | 2 MB Karl von Clausewitz's study On War was described by the American strategic thinker Bernard Brodie as 'not simply the greatest, but the only great book about war'. It is hard to disagree. Even though he wrote his only major work at a time when the range of firearms was fifty yards, much of what he had to say remains relevant today. Michael Howard explains Clausewitz's ideas in terms both of his experiences as a professional soldier in the Napoleonic Wars, and of the intellectual background of his time.  A. Sudhakar, Shyammohan S. Palli, "Circuits and Networks: Analysis and Synthesis" English | 2015 | ISBN: 9339219600 | PDF | pages: 959 | 35.4 mb [center]  George Graham, Shirley Ann Hale, Melissa A. Parker, "Children Moving: A Reflective Approach to Teaching Physical Education" English | 2009 | ISBN: 0073376450 | PDF | pages: 768 | 34.7 mb Children! Impressionable, innocent, enthusiastic, eager to learn, and all different. In fact, if you believe that all children are identical-with the same interests, abilities, and size-thenChildren Moving is not the book for you. The authors of Children Moving, however, recognize that each child is unique. One size does not fit all! Thus,Children Moving guides you in the process of learning to teach a curriculum that is differentiated for a range of skill abilities and fitness levels. If all children were the same, we would be able to package a curriculum with the same games and the same gymnastic stunts and dances you would do with all of the children as if they were identical.Children Moving, on the other hand, introduces you to the reflective approach-a process of teaching that provides the background for you to adapt, adjust, and modify lessons so they are interesting and worthwhile for all of the children you teach-from the lowest to the highest skill and fitness levels. The ultimate goal, of course, is to guide youngsters in the process of becoming physically active for a lifetime.  Jeffrey Haugaard, "Child Psychopathology" English | 2007 | ISBN: 0073405507 | PDF | pages: 792 | 11.0 mb All students who will one day work with children or their families can gain a basic foundation for understanding child psychopathology from this text. Students who seek careers in the mental health, physical health, or social work fields will find extensive information on childhood disorders, their prevention, and their treatment. All will gain an appreciation for the many facets of this growing field, and of the need to base interventions on research and on a humane attitude toward each child and family. |
