Book excerpt: This is a critical examination of the people who teach and produce research and scholarship in our institutions of higher education. The insights revealed through probing interviews with individual professors who have made careers in the halls of academia help readers understand the politics, power struggles and perils, both large and small, which shape the modern university. Given the important role these institutions play in our society, such an examination is not only helpful, but essential. This book is a helpful primer for faculty looking to build a career and those interested in understanding how professors are tasked in their profession. Endorsements: "I can think of no question more commonly asked among academics, new and veteran alike, than what it means to flourish in this profession, particularly for those who speak against the grain. In this important new book, Autumn Cyprès draws on the voices of established scholars in order to bring clarity and insight to the competing implicit and explicit rules and contested political and cultural terrains that we all must navigate. Readers will find helpful advice not merely to succeed in this profession, but to change the profession itself." - Kevin Kumashiro, University of San Francisco “Professor Cyprès’ book is a wake up call to the professoriate to rescue our profession from the clutches of those wanting to make scholars obedient servants of power. Her analysis and prescriptions provide guidelines and hope for revitalizing and energizing this once honored profession.” - From the foreword by Joel Spring, Queens College and Graduate Center, City University of New York In this important new book, Autumn Tooms Cyprès provides her readers with a critical examination of the people who teach and produce research and scholarship in our institutions of higher education. The insights she reveals through her probing interviews with individual professors who have made careers in the halls of academia help us to understand the politics, power struggles and perils, both large and small, which shape the modern university. Given the important role these institutions play in our society, such an examination is not only helpful, but essential. - Pedro A. Noguera, New York University

Book excerpt: In this gripping tale that spans three generations, the indomitable Velez family finds themselves locked in an unwavering battle against foreign invaders and tyrannical regimes. Humbert, affectionately known as "Hummie" to his closest companions, has languished in solitude for years, disillusioned by a deteriorating society. Just as he loses hope, a timely message from his dear friend Donnie rekindles a glimmer of purpose. Donnie urges Humbert to emerge from his seclusion and spearhead outreach programs, thanks to a newfound comrade who is willing to provide the necessary funding. But Humbert's return to the world he once fought to change only plunges him further into despair. Society has decayed even more, and the younger generation seems to have fallen prey to misinformation propagated by fake news. Amidst his desolation, Humbert's path crosses with that of Graziella San Miguel, a passionate history professor who harbors extraordinary admiration for the heroic lineage of the Velez family. Love blossoms between the two as they unite in their shared determination to shed light on these dark times. As Humbert delves deeper into his work, he uncovers an ugly truth—a deceitful facade disguising the donor's true, self-serving agenda. Unable to turn a blind eye to such treachery, Humbert becomes the target of a relentless private army, facing a malicious barrage of slander on social media and false narratives that distort the legacy of his ancestors. The campaign against him climaxes in a chilling assassination attempt that leaves Humbert fighting for his life, trapped in a coma. Enraged by her beloved's plight, Graziella reveals her hidden persona as the leader of a rebel death squad. Fueled by seething wrath, she embarks on a quest for retribution, rallying the newest generation of Velez family descendants to her side. Father Ezra Velez, Humbert's dedicated priestly son, joins forces with lawyer nephew Gideon Velez Calister and jeweler niece Miguela Velez, forging an unbreakable bond as they set out to bring justice to Humbert's enemies. United on a mission that transcends mere vengeance, the four Velez warriors embark on a quest to dismantle the intertwined web of corruption, greed, and evil that their affluent donor symbolizes. Thrust into the heart of danger, unaware of the steep price they may have to pay; their extraordinary tale of determination and resilience will leave you breathless. Prepare to be captivated by a narrative that not only mesmerizes but also echoes the echoes of our own tumultuous times.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A detailed self-improvement book presented in four parts with the third and fourth awaiting publication that takes a reader step-by-step how to achieve great success, written by a celebrated authority on personal development. While there are many self-help books that promise the world, there are very few that answer the age-long question of how to achieve great success. Arise from Grass to Greatness: Parts One and Two fill the gap by showcasing the step-by-step principles of how to move from poverty to prosperity in an organized whole. Written by one of the world’s top authorities on personal development, these parts are unique because the greatness blueprint they unveil is applicable to individuals, organizations and nations. The success formula answers all questions and it can be applied to every aspect of life encompassing career, education, family, marriage, business, finances, health, religion and relationship. In fourteen chronological steps, the first five covered by Parts One and Two, the four parts take the reader through practical universal principles that people can use to discover their selves, make the most of their innate endowments, and achieve the greatest possible. Think of Bill Gates and the personal computer (PC); Thomas Edison and incandescent light bulb; the Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, and the airplane. Remember the G8 nations and the Fortune Global 500 companies amongst others. The majority of people are unsuccessful today, not because they are unlucky, but because they never discovered this principle – or if they did, they used it rather haphazardly or in bits and pieces. Learn how to harness your success and achieve the unachievable today. The following two parts will be published soon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pluralism has become the defining characteristic of modern societies. Individuals with differing values clamor for equality. Organizations and groups assert particular interests. Social movements flourish and fade. Some see in this clash of principles and aims the potential for a more just human community, while others fear the erosion of enduring culture. Yet beneath this welter stand powerful and pervasive institutions, whose distinctive norms profoundly shape our moral commitments and character—notably the family, the market, the media, and systems of law, religion, politics, research, education, health care, and defense. Drawing on scholarship from five continents, many disciplines, and diverse religious perspectives, this series examines the impact of these various institutions on moral education, character, and values. As globalization carries the shifting dynamic between individuals and institutions into every part of the globe, the contributors hope that this conversation will help address the increasing challenges confronting our pluralist societies and our world. The overwhelming majority of the contributions in this volume deal with the Christian religion, as pluralistic societies today thrive substantially in Christian environments. Contributions by Peter Carnley, Gregor Etzelmüller, Johannes Eurich, Jennifer Herdt, Admiel Kosman, Piet Naudé, Waihan Ng, Friederike Nüssel, Bernd Oberdorfer, Martin Percy, Stephen Pickard, Raja Sakrani, William Schweiker, Philipp Stoellger, Milton Wan, Renee Ip, Michael Welker and John Witte, Jr.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summary of Good to Great Jim Collin’s Good to Great examines companies that have not only endured over time, but who managed the transition from being good companies to becoming outstanding performers. The eleven companies found to have taken this leap managed to outperform the stock market 6.9 times over fifteen years. The author set out to understand what distinguished great organizations from a carefully selected group of companies that did not make the grade. The research team came up with some unexpected outcomes. At the time of the transition from Good to Great all eleven companies were being led by Level 5 Leaders. These people showed a unique combination of humility and professional will. They were prepared to do anything necessary for the benefit of the organization. Level 5 Leaders started out, not by plotting the direction of the company, but by ensuring that they had all the right people in the right positions. Then they confronted the brutal facts of their organization, and used this knowledge to ensure that they chose the right direction for the firm. Knowing what the organization should be doing—and equally importantly what it should not be doing—they stuck stubbornly to the plan even when they were in dire circumstances. The culture of discipline within the organization ensured that the path to excellence would eventually be met. Patience, endurance and discipline, doggedly sticking only to what the company did best, resulted in outstanding results. This investigation of what distinguished the great from the mediocre is an excellent study of what is needed to build great organizations.

This book was released on 2019-02-05 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A darkly luminous new anthology collecting the most terrifying horror stories by renowned female authors, presenting anew these forgotten classics to the modern reader. Readers are well aware that Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein: few know how many other tales of terror she created. In addition to Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote some surprisingly effective horror stories. The year after Little Women appeared, Louisa May Alcott published one of the first mummy tales. These ladies weren’t alone. From the earliest days of Gothic and horror fiction, women were exploring the frontiers of fear, dreaming dark dreams that will still keep you up at night. More Deadly than the Male includes unexpected horror tales by Louisa May Alcott and Harriet Beecher Stowe, and forgotten writers like Mary Cholmondely and Charlotte Riddell, whose work deserves a modern audience. Readers will be drawn in by the familiar names and intrigued by their rare stories. In The Beckside Boggle, Alice Rea brings a common piece of English folklore to hair-raising life, while Helene Blavatsky, best known as the founder of the spiritualist Theosophical Society, paints a picture of A Witch’s Den as vivid as any vision conjured up by the great pulp writers. Edith Wharton’s great novel The Age of Innocence won her the Pulitzer prize, yet her horror stories are known only to a comparative few. Readers will discover lost and forgotten women who wrote horror every bit as effectively as their male contemporaries. They will learn about their lives and careers, the challenges they faced as women working in a male-dominated field, the way they overcame those challenges, and the way they approached the genre—which was often subtler, more psychological, and more disturbing.
