Описание: In this edited volume, contributors articulate a vision for connecting the insights of critical/cultural communication scholarship with the practice of academic leadership in higher education.
Описание: A remarkable history with elements of both In the President's Secret Service and The Butler, The Residence offers an intimate account of the service staff of the White House, from the Kennedys to the Obamas. America's First Families are unknowable in many ways. No one has insight into their true character like the people who serve their meals and make their beds every day.
Full of stories and details by turns dramatic, humorous, and heartwarming, The Residence reveals daily life in the White House as it is really lived through the voices of the maids, butlers, cooks, florists, doormen, engineers, and others who tend to the needs of the President and First Family. These dedicated professionals maintain the six-floor mansion's 132 rooms, 35 bathrooms, 28 fireplaces, three elevators, and eight staircases, and prepare everything from hors d'oeuvres for intimate gatherings to meals served at elaborate state dinners. Over the course of the day, they gather in the lower level's basement kitchen to share stories, trade secrets, forge lifelong friendships, and sometimes even fall in love.
Combining incredible first-person anecdotes from extensive interviews with scores of White House staff members-many speaking for the first time-with archival research, Kate Andersen Brower tells their story. She reveals the intimacy between the First Family and the people who serve them, as well as tension that has shaken the staff over the decades. From the housekeeper and engineer who fell in love while serving President Reagan to Jackie Kennedy's private moment of grief with a beloved staffer after her husband's assassination to the tumultuous days surrounding President Nixon's resignation and President Clinton's impeachment battle, The Residence is full of surprising and moving details that illuminate day-to-day life at the White House.

Описание: This book describes version 4 of CATS CM(R). This methodology for contract managementcan be used in both private and public sector organizations, and is valid for both demandand supply side.Contract management is the realization of intended contract objectives by proactivelymonitoring the fulfillment of all contractually established responsibilities, obligations,procedures, agreements, conditions and rates, resolving all ambiguities, contradictions andwhite spaces, managing all contract-related risks, and implementing all desired changes tothe contract, during the execution phase.CATS CM(R) offers a methodical and scalable approach to contract management. Itprovides a description of the principles, roles, and main issues for the contract managerand the best way of working. In addition to a description of the methodology, CATS CM(R)version 4 also offers specific tools for implementing contract management, for policy aswell as for processes.Increasingly, organizations recognize the importance of being in control of their businessecosystem. CATS CM(R) assists organizations to increase control of their joint responsibilityboth from a procurement and delivery point of view. A large number of organizations havechosen CATS CM(R) as the standard for their contract management processes.This new version of CATS CM(R) has been developed with these various practices in mind.CATS CM(R) version 4 is based on the principle that the management of a contract in execution has strong similarities on both sides of the contract, i.e. demand and supply; both can best be described as working in conjunction with each other.This book is intended for all who are responsible for, or deal with the execution ofcontracts: contract managers, business managers, delivery managers, project managers,service managers, facility managers, buyers, procurement managers, compliance managers,risk managers, account managers, sales managers and HR managers, along with theirdirectors and board members on both sides of the contract.

Описание:
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Residence and First Women--also a New York Times bestseller--comes a poignant, news-making look at the lives of the five former presidents in the wake of their White House years, including the surprising friendships they have formed through shared perspective and empathy.
After serving the highest office of American government, five men--Jimmy Carter, the late George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama--became members of the world's most exclusive fraternity. In Team of Five, Kate Andersen Brower goes beyond the White House to uncover what, exactly, comes after the presidency, offering a glimpse into the complex relationships of these five former presidents, and how each of these men views his place in a nation that has been upended by the Oval Office's current, norm-breaking occupant, President Donald Trump.
With an empathetic yet critical eye and firsthand testimony from the Carters, Donald Trump, and the top aides, friends, and family members of the five former presidents, Team of Five takes us inside the exclusive world of these powerful men and their families, including the unlikely friendship between George W. Bush and Michelle Obama, the last private visits Bill Clinton and Barack Obama shared with George H.W. Bush, and the Obamas' flight to Palm Springs after Donald Trump's inauguration. Perhaps most timely, this insightful, illuminating book overflows with anecdotes about how the ex-presidents are working to combat President Trump's attempts to undo the achievements and hard work accomplished during their own terms.
Perhaps most poignantly, Team of Five sheds light on the inherent loneliness and inevitable feelings of powerlessness and frustration that come with no longer being the most important person in the world, but a leader with only symbolic power. There are ways, though, that these men, and their wives, have become powerful political and cultural forces in American life, even as so-called "formers."
Team of Five includes 16 pages of color photographs.

James Kendall, the Duke of Weston returns from war to find an injured woman on his estate. She mumbles strange phrases and keeps calling him by another name. Thinking her a bit mad from her wounds, he takes her to the manor and calls for a doctor.

Regina Dewitt wants to find out what happened to her sister. The best place to start her search is where she disappeared--Weston Manor. It's been a year, and clues will be scarce, but she's determined. She didn't count on how tempting the estate's resident duke would be...

Описание:
Understanding the history and philosophy of biological systematics (phylogenetics, taxonomy and classification of living things) is key to successful practice of the discipline.
In this thoroughly revised Third Edition of the classic Biological Systematics, Andrew V. Z. Brower and Randall T. Schuh provide an updated account of cladistic principles and techniques, emphasizing their empirical and epistemological clarity. Schuh and Brower cover:
the history and philosophy of systematics
the mechanics and methods of character analysis, phylogenetic inference, and evaluation of results
the practical application of systematic results to:
biological classification, - adaptation and coevolution - biodiversity, and conservation
new chapters on species and molecular clocks
Biological Systematics is intended as a textbook for students studying systematic biology and as a desk reference for practicing systematists. Part explication of concepts and methods, part exploration of the underlying epistemology of systematics, Brower and Schuh aim in this third edition to explain why some methods are more empirically sound than others.

"Well, this is curious - I've only got papers that say to take one of you."
My two latest deaths stood in front of me.
"The other is supposed to keep on living. But here you both are."
Neither spoke to volunteer which was which.
"So, you both intend to keep on living, in spite of my orders to take one of you."
Silence signaled assent.
"You know that no one has ever cheated Death. Just because you have some spirit-guides looking out for you doesn't mean I won't end up with one - or even both of you."
I tapped a long, bony finger.
"Or maybe all four of you, just to make it completely fair. Because the more those two gals are working to keep you both alive, the more they are just making a bargain with me."
The two men standing there looked at each other.
Then turned to me and shrugged. At the same time, like they'd rehearsed it.
"Alrighty, then. The Game is on. Let's see who can beat Death and keep living. It's like always - all or nothing.
"And I never lose..."

Excerpt:
JUDE AND I GOT RUSHED in here again last night.
Because both our boys slipped under again. Flat-lining like before.
Rochelle kept telling us we two sisters were doing great at nursing them, that there was nothing anyone else could do any better. But now each of us had only one duty right now - and that was to save the guy we were "assigned" to.
We knew Rochelle had never seen anything like this before. Sure, she'd had people just give up and die on her. Especially when she couldn't get to them in time. Even after she'd brought them back to life once or twice or more.
But under the care of a Lazurai healer, body death is extremely rare.
Sure, they both had serious wounds when they came in. But those had all been patched. And there were only faint lines now where the jagged cuts had been repaired. In time, there wouldn't even be any scars to show. The surgery here was expert.
Yet this was the third time both of us had to come in and stop the slide.
And once we did, it left us both exhausted. Of course, it didn't help that we were either sleeping on hallway couches or a nearby wheeled gurney just to be on call.
At least we had plenty of towels around to sob into when it got to be too much...

Описание: "The Starship and the Canoe is neither a wilderness survival manual nor a book of blueprints. It is another of those rare books impossible to define: the kind that seeks you in time. And you will know it, live it, and consult it thereafter simply by name." --Chicago Sun-Times "In the tradition of Carl Sagan and John McPhee, a bracing cerebral voyage past intergalactic hoopla and backwoods retreats." --Kirkus Reviews Originally published in 1978, The Starship and the Canoe is the remarkable story of a father and son: Freeman Dyson is a world-renowned astrophysicist who dreams of exploring the heavens and has designed a spaceship to take him there. His son George, a brilliant high school dropout, lives in a treehouse and is designing a giant kayak to explore the icy coastal wilderness of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. Author Kenneth Brower describes with stunning impact their lives and their visions of the world. It is a timeless tale framed by modern science, adventure, family, and the natural world.
