Download or read book Uproar written by Peter L. Steinke and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-02-13 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If “these are the times that test men’s souls,” never more than for the leader’s ability to think clearly, to be present calmly, and to challenge effectively. It’s a time when leaders cannot be as anxious as those they serve; otherwise, the system is leaderless. Anxiety flows down like water from a leaky pipe. To lead effectively we must understand the impact of powerful emotional forces on people’s behavior, especially in anxious times. Uproar: Calm Leadership in Anxious Times helps leaders understand the powerful impact that emotional processes have on the people they lead. Peter Steinke, bestselling author of CongregationalLeadership in Anxious Times draws on decades of work on system conflict and personal experiences to share real stories of challenges leaders have faced and how understanding the power of emotions has dramatically influenced their success. In this book, readers will observe important leadership characteristics such as separating oneself from the surrounding anxiety, making decisions based on principle and not instinct, taking responsibility for one’s own emotional being, staying connected to others including those who disagree with you, being a non-anxious presence, focusing on emotional processes rather than the symptoms they produce, knowing people naturally influence one another, and recognizing leader and follower as complements. At the end of each chapter, there is a Leader’s Notebook, a short section to illustrate, enrich or engage your thinking about leadership. As Steinke suggests, being anxious causes you to lose perspective, and leaders do their best thinking when they are not overly stressed and can think about options, doing their best work when they work on themselves. So where are you in your leadership journey? No matter where you are—beginning, middle or end— this book will be one the most significant leadership books you’ll read.
Download or read book Uproar written by Brooks Haxton and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2009-03-25 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book of homemade psalms, Brooks Haxton brings the poetry of the original psalmists, their awe and their music, into our world of jet planes and space travel, automatic rifles and suburban pleasures. As he writes in his preface, “I take psalms less as doctrine than as outcries, and I cry back in these poems from whatever vantage I can find.” The result is lucid, touching verse that connects the exalted language of scripture with everyday experience. In a poem called “Dark,” for example, Haxton riffs on the gorgeous line “The night also is thine” (Psalm 74) as he stands on his front stoop on a particularly black night. “Thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures” (Psalm 36) brings forth a poem about the perilous joy of bodysurfing. And his response to Psalm 58, “The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance,” becomes a poem about Westmoreland in Vietnam. These vibrant scraps of ancient text reverberate with intimations of the immediate present, and Haxton’s poetry, in response, is fresh, funny, and tender. In the pain of doubt, and even in the burlesque of irreverence, he explores the mystery of our abiding passion for the sacred.
Download or read book UPROAR! written by Alice Loxton and published by Icon Books. This book was released on 2023-03-02 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: **A brilliant new history of Georgian Britain through the eyes of the artists who immortalised it, by one of the UK's most exciting young historians** 'Alice Loxton is the star of her generation ... the next big thing in history' Dan Snow London, 1772: a young artist called Thomas Rowlandson is making his way through the grimy backstreets of the capital, on his way to begin his studies at the Royal Academy Schools. Within a few years, James Gillray and Isaac Cruikshank would join him in Piccadilly, turning satire into an artform, taking on the British establishment, and forever changing the way we view power. Set against a backdrop of royal madness, political intrigue, the birth of modern celebrity, French revolution, American independence and the Napoleonic Wars, UPROAR! follows the satirists as they lampoon those in power, from the Prince Regent to Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire. Their prints and illustrations deconstruct the political and social landscape with surreal and razor-sharp wit, as the three men vie with each other to create the most iconic images of the day. UPROAR! fizzes with energy on every page. Alice Loxton writes with verve and energy, never failing to convince in her thesis that Gillray and his gang profoundly altered British humour, setting the stage for everything from Gilbert and Sullivan to Private Eye and Spitting Image today. This is a book that will cause readers to reappraise everything they think they know about genteel Georgian London, and see it for what it was - a time of UPROAR!

Book excerpt: Picturesque Alpine is no longer the brawling logging town of yesteryear. So when a drunken fight at the Icicle Creek Tavern leaves a loner named Alvin De Muth dead, the residents feel as if they’ve gone back to the Bad Old Days. The inquiry into the incident should be a no-brainer, but since the witnesses were half-tanked at the time, Sheriff Milo Dodge is left with conflicting stories. But soon Emma Lord, editor and publisher of The Alpine Advocate, has an even bigger story to report: a heartbreaking highway accident that leaves two people dead and one on life support. Rumors are flying: Are the two tragedies linked in some inexplicable way? Assisted by that human bulldozer Vida Runkel, the Advocate’s House & Home editor, Emma goes for the gold.

Book Synopsis Uproar At Dancing Rabbit Creek by : Colin Crawford
Download or read book Uproar At Dancing Rabbit Creek written by Colin Crawford and published by Addison Wesley Publishing Company. This book was released on 1996-08-18 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In late 1990, Ed Netherland - a renegade Tennessee entrepreneur driven both by financial gain and his own battle with cancer - actively sought the endorsement of Noxubee County, Mississippi, for his company's toxic-waste disposal facility. He was armed with cash and promises of new jobs, but he met unexpected opposition: Martha Blackwell, a white housewife and descendant of the planter class, helped to organize a movement to stop the dump. However, Netherland also made unlikely allies: poor blacks and poor whites, who united to push for new jobs and the opportunity to wrest political and economic power from the landed families. Their effort was led and personified by the self-styled savior of Noxubee's black majority, Ike Brown. The ensuing battle tore the county apart, pitting families, friends, and even entire church congregations against one another, unleashing century-old hatreds and blood feuds." "At the heart of the story lies control over the land, an issue William Faulkner saw as the "curse" of Southern history (Dancing Rabbit Creek was the site of an 1830 federal treaty with the Choctaw Indians, leading to their forced exodus). Only the characters are new: with Blackwell, Brown, and Netherland, there is Prentiss "Printz" Bolin, the former Chief of Staff to U.S. Senator Trent Lott, who returned home to Noxubee County as local salesman of a waste dump proposed by Netherland's competitors; Ralph Higginbotham, the white president of the county Board of Supervisors, who was supported by blacks but derided by prosperous whites as a "hillbilly"; Essie Spencer, a retired school teacher and leading black opponent of the toxic dump; and a host of other vividly drawn characters."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
