Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Will the winner of the prize wield god-like power? An amulet, innocently discovered by an archaeologist and collector of antiquities, is the key to the bloody plague that has settled on their city, Chicago. As Thomas, Clem, and Trinity search to discover the key to the violently bloody, mysterious deaths, they stumble upon something more terrifying than they ever imagined. The murder victims are not just shot or stabbed but they are literally torn apart by their attackers. And they enter the world of Jack Wolf, one that few have ever experienced. Enter a world of gargoyles, necromancers, witches, and otherworldly creatures whose mission is to reclaim the amulet and return it to its rightful place. The Elena Agenda pulses with action, involved dialogue, and intense scenes of hedonistic sex that take you on a roller coaster ride that leads to the answers. Jack Wolf's world is one that once entered; few are able to make their way out again.

Book Synopsis Labour Regimes and Global Production by : Elena Baglioni
Download or read book Labour Regimes and Global Production written by Elena Baglioni and published by Economic Transformations. This book was released on 2023-07-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been a recent resurgence in interest in the theorization of labour regimes in various disciplines. This has taken the form of a concern to understand the role that labour regimes play in the structuring, organization and dynamics of global systems of production and reproduction. The concept has a long heritage that can be traced back to the 1970s and the contributions to this book seek to develop further this emerging field. The book traces the intellectual development of labour regime concepts across various disciplines, notably political economy, development studies, sociology and geography. Building on these foundations it considers conceptual debates around labour regimes and global production relating to issues of scale, informality, gender, race, social reproduction, ecology and migration, and offers new insights into the work conditions of global production chains from Amazon's warehouses in the United States, to industrial production networks in the Global South, and to the dormitory towns of migrant workers in Czechia. It also explores recent mobilizations of labour regime analysis in relation to methods, theory and research practice.

Team development is an art form, and this book is your how-to guide to doing it effectively. You'll learn the administrative tasks that keep your team on track, and you'll gain access to a wealth of downloadable tools that simplify the "getting organized" process. Just as importantly, you'll explore what it means to be the kind of leader that can bring people together to accomplish difficult tasks. You'll find practical suggestions, tools, and clear instructions for the logistics of team development as well as for building trust, developing healthy communication, and managing conflict. Inside these pages you'll find concrete guidance on: Designing agendas, making decisions, establishing effective protocols, and more Boosting your resilience, understanding and managing your emotions, and meeting your goals Cultivating your team's emotional intelligence and dealing with cynicism Utilizing practical tools to create a customized framework for developing highly effective teams There is no universal formula for building a great team, because every team is different. Different skills, abilities, personalities, and goals make a one-size-fits-all approach ineffective at best. Instead, The Art of Coaching Teams provides a practical framework to help you develop your group as a whole, and keep the team moving toward their common goals.
Download or read book Visions written by Dennis Hart and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-10 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why does Mankind experience the same problems over and over again? Is he locked in a perpetual cycle doomed to repeat the same old mistakes regardless of his culture or time period? Throughout history there have been enlightened people and Masters who have told how to end this cycle. Were they wrong or have we misinterpreted their words? This spiritual adventure follows the lives of five characters who have taken it upon themselves to break this cycle of violence and destruction. Each of these characters: a Russian Parapsychologist, a South Korean Quantum Physicist, a West Texas Baptist Missionary in China, a California Psychologist, and an International Consultant from Dallas, holds a piece to the puzzle that will tell us how our worldview has trapped us in this endless spiral. Their personal experiences bring each of them to a higher consciousness and awareness that Mankind’s inevitable fate needs a detour. Through their commonality of belief, they meet and form a group whose objective is to answer the questions Mankind has always asked. Questions that must be answered if Man is to change his perspective and break the repetitive cycle of history that continues to lead back to war, poverty and suffering.
Book Synopsis Identifying Models of National Urban Agendas by : Francesca Gelli
Download or read book Identifying Models of National Urban Agendas written by Francesca Gelli and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-17 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book utilises comparative diachronic and synchronic analyses to investigate models of national urban agendas. Encompassing cases from Europe, North America, South America and Asia, it examines the changing global geography of national urban agendas since the second post-war period. The book demonstrates that whilst some discontinuities and differences exist between countries, they each demonstrate a common systematic investment in urban policies, that are considered as programmes of intervention and funding schemes for cities. Furthermore, in such programmes a political vision is evident which recognizes an important role for cities and urbanization processes at a national level. The book will appeal to scholars and students of public policy, urban planning and public administration, as well as practitioners and policymakers at the national and local levels.

Book Synopsis The Millennials on Film and Television by : Betty Kaklamanidou
Download or read book The Millennials on Film and Television written by Betty Kaklamanidou and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-03-08 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The millennials, who constitute the largest generation in America's history, may resist a simple definition; nevertheless, they do share a number of common traits and also an ever increasing presence on film and television. This collection of new essays first situates the millennials within their historical context and then proceeds to an examination of specific characteristics--as addressed in the television and film narratives created about them, including their relationship to work, technology, family, religion, romance and history. Drawing on a multiplicity of theoretical frameworks, the essays show how these cultural products work at a number of levels, and through a variety of means, to shape our understanding of the millennials.

Book excerpt: A practical framework to avoid burnout and keep great teachers teaching Onward tackles the problem of educator stress, and provides a practical framework for taking the burnout out of teaching. Stress is part of the job, but when 70 percent of teachers quit within their first five years because the stress is making them physically and mentally ill, things have gone too far. Unsurprisingly, these effects are highest in difficult-to-fill positions such as math, science, and foreign languages, and in urban areas and secondary classrooms—places where we need our teachers to be especially motivated and engaged. This book offers a path to resiliency to help teachers weather the storms and bounce back—and work toward banishing the rain for good. This actionable framework gives you concrete steps toward rediscovering yourself, your energy, and your passion for teaching. You’ll learn how a simple shift in mindset can affect your outlook, and how taking care of yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally is one of the most important things you can do. The companion workbook helps you put the framework into action, streamlining your way toward renewal and strength. Cultivate resilience with a four-part framework based on 12 key habits Uncover your true self, understand emotions, and use your energy where it counts Adopt a mindful, story-telling approach to communication and community building Keep learning, playing, and creating to create an environment of collective celebration By cultivating resilience in schools, we help ensure that we are working in, teaching in, and leading organizations where every child thrives, and where the potential of every child is recognized and nurtured. Onward provides a step-by-step plan for reigniting that spark.

Book Synopsis Law and the New Urban Agenda by : Nestor M. Davidson
Download or read book Law and the New Urban Agenda written by Nestor M. Davidson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-04-23 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Urban Agenda (NUA), adopted in 2016 at the United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III) in Quito, Ecuador, represents a globally shared understanding of the vital link between urbanization and a sustainable future. At the heart of this new vision stand a myriad of legal challenges – and opportunities – that must be confronted for the world to make good on the NUA’s promise. In response, this book, which complements and expands on the editors’ previous volumes on urban law in this series, offers a constructive and critical evaluation of the legal dimensions of the NUA. As the volume’s authors make clear, from natural disasters and resulting urban migration in Honshu and Tacloban, to innovative collaborative governance in Barcelona and Turin, to accessibility of public space for informal workers in New Delhi and Accra, and power scales among Brazil’s metropolitan regions, there is a deep urgency for thoughtful research to understand how law can be harnessed to advance the NUA’s global mission of sustainable urbanism. It thus creates a provocative and academic dialogue about the legal effects of the NUA, which will be of interest to academics and researchers with an interest in urban studies.
