Описание: In twelfth century France, two of Europe's greatest minds met and fell in love. It was a love forbidden by the world around them and eventually they were torn apart from each other. But the spark of it remained smoldering inside the lovers until their death and beyond. Heloise and her tutor, Peter Abelard, share a devotion passionate in its depth and beautiful in its thoughtfulness. They marry, and Heloise bears a son whom she names Astrolabe. However, all of this must be done in secret, for Abelard is forbidden to wed by the church, which considers him a cleric. When the truth of their relationship is exposed, they are separated and punished both in body and soul. Marion Meade weaves history and fiction together in Stealing Heaven, an epic story of one of history's most tragic love affairs. With facts pulled from Heloise's actual love letters, Meade creates a poetic and sensual tapestry of France in the twelfth century. Heloise and Abelard lived beyond their punishment in quiet contemplation of life and God-Abelard as a monk and Heloise as a nun and the founder of a convent. Her story is one of a brilliant woman, trapped within the confines of her society. But it is also the story of an inspiring love that has lived on throughout history. Marion Meade studied at Northwestern University in Illinois and later received a master's from Columbia Graduate School of Journalism. She worked as a freelance writer and her articles have appeared in leading magazines and newspapers, including the New York Times, McCall's, the Village Voice, Ms. Magazine, and Cosmopolitan. Meade has written novels, biographies, and nonfiction books. Bitching was a significant contribution to the second phase of development in the feminist movement. She has written biographies of Victoria Woodhull (Free Woman), Eleanor of Aquitaine, Madame Blavatsky, Buster Keaton (Cut to the Chase), Woody Allen (The Unruly Life of Woody Allen), and Dorothy Parker (What Fresh Hell Is This?). She has published two historical novels: Sybille, which narrates the life of a woman troubadour in thirteenth century southern France, during Europe's first great holocaust, the Albigensian crusade; and Stealing Heaven, The Love Story of Heloise and Abelard. She lives in New York City.

Описание: In the early 1970s, the national conversation regarding feminism was very different. Public discussions of womanhood-single life, marriage, workplace harassment, rights, gripes-were often channeled through movement spokeswomen and always refracted through the lens of talking to men about men. Little was shared about the chats happening behind closed doors where everyday women talked to women without the threat of men listening in. But, all that changed with the book Bitching. Originally published in 1973, Bitching is journalist and author Marion Meade's deep and insightful investigation into the real dialogue happening inside coffee klatches, consciousness-raising groups, and therapist's sessions. Using excerpts from real taped conversations, Meade presents the frustration, anger, resigned acceptance, and scathing humor that make up the female experience from birth to grave. For the first time, male chauvinist behavior goes fully examined and unexcused, and the roles men force upon women get broken down to their sometimes ridiculous component parts. A snapshot into a key time in the feminist movement, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in how far we have come . . . or how much we have stayed the same.

Описание: A holy war is sweeping France, razing cities and destroying the peaceful lives of those considered heretics. Sybille d'Astarac, born to pampered luxury, is a gifted female troubadour. But her poems grow dark as the Catholic crusade seeks to eradicate her sect. In the face of massacre, can Sybille survive the Inquisition? Will her love songs? A work of stunning historical fiction, Sybille displays Marion Meade's pitch-perfect understanding of strong women facing the harsh realities of life in medieval times. As Robin Morgan, author of The Anatomy of Freedom, writes, this book is "an inspiration for women and an illumination for all readers."

Описание: Victoria Woodhull is a historical figure too often ignored and undervalued by historians. Although she never achieved political power, her actions and her presence on the political scene helped begin to change the way Americans thought about the right to vote, particularly women's suffrage, and she set the stage for political emancipations to come throughout the twentieth century. Woodhull was a product of and a revolutionary within the socially conservative Victorian era, which predominated in the United States as much as it did in England. She was an anomaly within her time, an unlikely and unconventional woman. She came from a background of poverty and her careers prior to entering politics included fortune-telling, acting, being a stock broker, journalism, and lecturing on women's rights. She ran for president of the United States in 1872. At that time, she had twice been divorced and she outraged even the feminists of her day by refusing to confine her campaign to the issue of women's suffrage. She advocated a single sexual standard for men and women, legalization of prostitution, reform of the marriage and family institutions, and "free love." She shocked a nation largely because her plain-speaking was designed to expose the endemic hypocrisy of "respectable" people in society. Marion Meade has created a vivid picture of the colorful figure that was Victoria Woodhull, but she also fully portrays the era in which she lived, in all of its truest and often most unflattering colors. She makes the 1870s read in many ways like the 1970s, not just because Victoria Woodhull was far ahead of her own time but also because many people in the present era are still culturally behind the times.

Описание: Steeds meer mensen ondervinden dat projectmanagement in een transitie terecht is gekomen. Van oudsher bekende en op zichzelf goede methoden en technieken zijn tegen hun grenzen aangelopen. Nieuwe inzichten en aanpakken winnen terrein. Geen wonder dat ook de inhoud en het nut van bestaande instituties op het gebied van projectmanagement, zoals vak- en certificeringsorganisaties meer en meer ter discussie worden gesteld. Ervaren projectmanagers beschouwen de uitgedijde methoden en technieken en de strakke certificeringen steeds meer als een keurslijf in plaats van als nuttige hulpmiddelen.Niet alleen projectmanagers hebben er last van. Ook lijnmanagers van grote organisaties kampen met het probleem. Velen zien om zich heen dat projecten niet naar wens verlopen, terwijl medewerkers toch volgens de voorgeschreven opgelegde procedures lijken te handelen. Het is alsof managers en medewerkers hun gezonde verstand thuislaten en procedures laten regeren over hun professionele handelen zonder oog te hebben voor de gevolgen ervan. Daarnaast zien we dat in de praktijk nieuwe aanpakken gretig worden omarmd als de heilige graal, zonder rekening te houden met de enorme omslag die dat betekent, niet alleen voor de directbetrokkenen maar zelfs voor de hele organisatie. Het risico is niet denkbeeldig dat de introductie van de nieuwe aanpak het werken in projecten verder bemoeilijkt en dat we zo het kind met het badwater weggooien.Transitie van projectmanagement betekent ook transitie voor de projectmanager. Daarom vonden we het hoog tijd een boek te schrijven voor deze projectmanager in transitie dat een nieuwe richting voor het vak aangeeft. In dit boek verkennen of beschrijven we een aantal belangrijke aspecten van die transitie. Zes auteurs hebben ieder een of meer hoofdstukken voor hun rekening genomen.Het eerste hoofdstuk analyseert de oorsprong van de begrippen `project` en `projectmanagement` en maakt duidelijk dat de huidige visies op het vak een doodlopende weg in dreigen te slaan. Het vervolghoofdstuk brengt een aantal stromingen in de projectmanagementwereld tot anno 2017 in beeld en slaat een brug tussen de projecten en organisaties.Hoofdstuk 3 stelt dat projectmanagementmethoden en projectmanagers ten onrechte zo veel mogelijk emoties en irrationaliteit negeren. We kunnen maar beter onder ogen zien dat ze een onlosmakelijk aspect zijn van ieder project en leren daarmee om te gaan.Een apart hoofdstuk wordt gewijd aan wicked vraagstukken, een type opgave dat kenmerken van volstrekte onvoorspelbaarheid vertoont en toch aan de orde van dag is. De bestaande projectmanagementmethoden bieden hierbij weinig houvast. Maar welke aanpak werkt dan wel?In het hoofdstuk over competenties en competentieontwikkeling staat de competentie-ontwikkeling van de projectmanager, zijn waarden en drijfveren centraal. Wat zijn competenties, competentie-frameworks en welke zijn belangrijk voor mij als projectmanager? Hoe kan de projectmanager de steeds belangrijker wordende gedragscompetenties ontwikkelen? In hoeverre kan de veel gebruikte ICB 4 van IPMA daarbij helpen?In het laatste hoofdstuk wordt een aantal scenario`s beschreven voor de mogelijke ontwikkeling van de professie, gebaseerd op een aantal trends. De trends zijn door de auteurs van dit boek geselecteerd mede op basis van soms verrassende gezichtspunten van ervaren collega`s uit het veld.Door het boek heen staan inspirerende verhalen die zijn opgetekend uit de mond van projectmanagers die op zeer verschillende terreinen succesvolle projecten hebben uitgevoerd. Zowel een feest van herkenning als een bron van nieuwe inzichten.
