Free Download The Journeying Moon : Sailing into History By Ernle Bradford
2014 | 339 Pages | ISBN: 1497637910 | EPUB | 1 MB
A memoir of life as an adventurer and sailor in the Mediterranean, by the noted naval historian. Ernle Bradford spent his twenty-first birthday in Egypt, serving in the Royal Navy during World War II. It was there that he came across the profoundly affecting words of Anton Chekhov: "Life does not come again; if you have not lived during the days that were given to you, once only, then write it down as lost." After the war, Bradford married and settled in London, but the mandate of those words inspired him and his wife to quit their jobs, sell their home, and sail to France in their small ship Mother Goose. The Journeying Moon chronicles their adventures as they travel through Europe and the Mediterranean. From the people of Malta who believed Bradford was a spy from MI5, to his interactions with the Sicilian Mafia, Bradford tells the charming and vivid tale of his days as a true adventurer.

Throughout most of history, in China the insane were kept within the home and treated by healers who claimed no specialized knowledge of their condition. In the first decade of the twentieth century, however, psychiatric ideas and institutions began to influence longstanding beliefs about the proper treatment for the mentally ill. In The Invention of Madness, Emily Baum traces a genealogy of insanity from the turn of the century to the onset of war with Japan in 1937, revealing the complex and convoluted ways in which "madness" was transformed in the Chinese imagination into "mental illness."

Free Download The Impact of Gender Differences on the Conflict Management Styles of Managers in Bangladesh : An Analysis By Khair Jahan Sogra
2014 | 184 Pages | ISBN: 1443863270 | PDF | 1 MB
This book examines the impact of gender on the choice of conflict management styles of managers in Bangladesh. It explores the influence of contextual factors, including the present socio-cultural and economic changes taking place in Bangladesh, on the choice of conflict management styles of managers in Bangladesh and the factors that might create gender differences in managerial styles. In doing so, the book includes factors such as age, education, managerial hierarchy, gender role orientation, and gender stereotyped organisational environment, as well as biological sex. The book suggests that exhibiting socially expected roles and using conflict management modes do not occur in vacuums. Both factors are intensely affected by socio-cultural expectations governed by a rigid patriarchal system, organisational processes, and the magnitude of individuals' unsatisfied needs. All these factors in various combinations affect the managerial styles of managers, and female managers imitate the well-accepted male managerial styles as a survival mechanism in the workplace. This results in no apparent gender differences in the preference of conflict management styles among managers, though the reasons for choosing a particular style may not be the same for females and males. This book also asserts that globally, organisations are steadily moving away from a mechanistic approach to a more humanistic approach, and with this changing management trend organisations have started appreciating the much-condemned 'feminine quality of relationship-oriented managerial style'. The book maintains that this gradual shift is also taking place in Bangladeshi organisations for certain jobs and organisations, and females are becoming sought-after employees. The cumulative effects of all these rapid changes transforming the socio-economic and socio-cultural expectations of the Bangladeshi population are leading to calls for urgent attention to the study of their long-term effects on patriarchy and gender relations in the workplace. This book is a step forward in that direction.

Free Download The Holistic Egyptian Quality Management Approach "HEQMA" By Osama A. Kamal
2013 | 130 Pages | ISBN: 1443846686 | PDF | 1 MB
While industrial organizations in developed countries around the world passed, and benefited from, numerous quality control phases, industrial organizations in Egypt often bypassed the quality control stage, moving straight to practicing quality management systems (QMS) without first verifying product quality. This has created a significant gap that must be overcome in order to allow Egyptian industrial organizations to compete on a global level. This book takes into account the business models most suitable for industrial practice in Egypt, resulting in the formulation of the Holistic Egyptian Quality Management Approach (HEQMA). As the western management style focuses on and is characterized by a result oriented approach, Japanese management is process-oriented and focuses on small continuous improvements. As such, HEQMA focuses on the characters and actions of the people who perform tasks to ensure results. HEQMA consists of 88 criteria, gathered in four bundles to express the main business success factors: the management commitment and corporate ethics factor, the human capital factor, the internal capability factor, and the outcome factor. HEQMA dispenses with management consultants, as it measures how to achieve results within business organizations in a robust manner. HEQMA will contribute to solving many problems currently facing Egyptian industrial organizations, particularly by clarifying from where these problems originate. The model draws the attention of the concerned parties to the proper channels for diagnosing industrial problems in Egypt and explores new integrative management ideas that will suit Egyptian industrial culture. Throughout the research project that culminated in this book, many industry leaders and consultants were interviewed in order to provide an in-depth discussion of the benefits of HEQMA and to help the project meet its ultimate goal of finding ways to strengthen Egyptian industrial quality, in order to eventually support the integration of the Egyptian economy into developed industrial alliances.

Free Download John Gormley, "The Gormley Papers: I'm Right & You Know It"
English | 2013 | ASIN: B00HHFQM8K | EPUB | pages: 215 | 0.3 mb
He's outspoken. He rants. His politics drive some people wild. You've been hearing him on the radio for years - of course you're familiar with John Gormley!... But do you really know him? Reading The Gormley Papers: I'm Right and you Know It, you may be surprised to discover that the radio personality you love - or love to hate - isn't as black and white as you think he is. Sometimes, he doesn't even discuss politics at all. Gormley's follow-up book to his Canadian bestseller Left Out is a compilation of various perspectives and opinions based on his Post Media columns from the last decade, with personalized margin notes, mini rants, and a few I-told-you-sos. Touching on the major events that have shaped the public consciousness and the milestones that make a life worth living, this collection of thoughts goes beyond the politics of right and wrong left. And there's no doubt where he stands. Gormley discusses the events that take us from the changed world of 9-11 to the culture of protest, juggling modern life between family and technology, aging not so gracefully and the landscapes - personal and political - that fall in between. With a blend of humour and gravity, Gormley examines the first decade of our new century and contemplates where we are headed. And if you aren't sure he's right, well then - you'll have to agree to disagree.
