On Organizational Citizenship is a unique application of classic
political philosophy and metaphysics to organizational theory.
Using this new and highly integrative approach to organizations and
organizational behavior, this book proposes that organizations have
a constitutional structure rather than a culture, and that much of
the traditional role of government in society has shifted from the
state to the corporation. What it means to be an organizational
citizen in this form of government is explored in terms of ethics,
social and political processes, governing structure, and the
limitations of traditional models of organizational behavior.
Organizations are conceptualized as constitutionally based
political communities with constitutional structures that determine
outcomes and define the parameters for citizenship and civic
responsibility. On Organizational Citizenship examines the
implications of organizational citizenship and how this shift might
redefine the role of national government.
Psychic abilities such as telepathic communication, clairvoyance,
and premonitions have intrigued believers and the curious for ages.
In How to Test and Develop Your ESP, Paul Huson provides those
interested in psychic phenomena with experiments to help discover
and strengthen their own skills. Favoring practice over theory,
Huson shares his years of research and experiments with people
interested in unlocking their potential. The book covers
extra-sensory perception as well as interpreting dreams, recalling
the lives of past incarnations, understanding the out-of-body
experience, experimenting with psychokinesis, and exploring other
parapsychological phenomena.
Murder Most Merciful is a collection of insightful essays that
consider Sigi Ziering's play, The Judgment of Herbert Bierhoff. In
the play, Ziering tells the story of a loving father and his
decision during the Holocaust to take the life of his beloved
daughter to avoid her deportation. Scholars who have thought long
and hard about the ethical implications of the Holocaust continue
to grapple with the poignant questions Ziering raised. Commentary
from the book's diverse contributors, including Holocaust
survivors, scholars, rabbis, philosophers, and historians, results
in an insightful and provocative moral and theological exchange.
Murder Most Merciful will stimulate further debate on the crucial
issues of martyrdom, euthanasia, and the guilt of the innocent.
Ultimately, the judgment of Herbert Bierhoff is for the reader to
make. The book appears in the Studies in the Shoah series as volume
28.

where racial laws are tightening. They are two little girls from a
dissenting liberal family. Big sister Lisa is strong and sensible,

racial prejudice. And then there's the puzzle of lunch break.

sandwiches?' a first-year classmate asks. But Dinah doesn't know

Leading Charismatic Pastor Offers a Bold New Strategy for Spiritual
Warfare
Kris Vallotton, a pastor at Bethel Church in Redding, California,
and the cofounder of its School of Supernatural Ministry, knows his
way around the spiritual battlefield. For years he was tormented by
a host of demonic assaults, though he didn't know the problems were
spiritual. Confused, overwhelmed, he actually contemplated
suicide--until the Lord delivered him.
Since that time, Kris has spent his life spreading a message of
hope and freedom. He's helped people all over the world recognize
the devil's stealth attacks and taught them to overcome. Weaving
time-tested spiritual warfare tactics with biblical understanding,
Kris offers Christians a bold new battle plan, showing how even
those in the most devastating of personal battles can be
victorious.
One of the most popular of Victorian-era painters, John W.
Waterhouse (1849-1917) blended reality and fantasy, combining
classical mythology and European legend in his dramatic portraits
of wistful, long-haired maidens. This collection includes 24 of his
finest works, among them The Lady of Shalott, The Soul of the Rose,
and La Belle Dame Sans Merci.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First
International Conference on Coordination Languages and Models,
COORDINATION '96, held in Cesena, Italy in April 1996. Over the
last few years, a new class of models, formalisms, and mechanisms
for describing concurrent and distributed computations has emerged.
A characteristic feature of these coordination languages and models
is that they are based on (generative) communication via a shared
data space. The 21 revised full papers presented were selected from
a total of 78 submissions; also included are three invited papers
and 10 posters. All in all, these papers report the state of the
art in this young and active area of research and development.
When Charles Whitman sprayed bullets in a brutal killing spree from
the heights of the University of Texas clock tower in 1966, he
single-handedly made history by dashing the security of millions
and changing law enforcement forever. In the wake of this
horrifying event, SWAT - Special Weapons and Tactics - teams were
born. Since that time, such desperate, bloody face-offs with police
have steadily increased, making SWAT an invaluable and necessary
part of law enforcement. Captain Snow, author of the acclaimed
Protecting Your Life, Home, and Property, and a police officer with
over 25 years experience, delivers to the reader the immediacy of
actual SWAT events - including both the notorious and the bizarre.
We get a chilling glimpse into the desperate, twisted mind of the
hostage taker - often hovering precariously between violence and
suicide - and witness the brilliant, life-saving strategies SWAT
commanders put into action to stop them. As Captain Snow
demonstrates, whether intervening during a tension-filled hostage
showdown or serving an arrest warrant to a heavily armed drug lord,
SWAT teams are, in general, uniquely prepared to handle the most
volatile and life-threatening police situations with poise, speed,
and - when necessary - deadly force. From the unnerving events in
Waco to the thousands of successes every year, Snow analyzes what
works and doesn't work in a SWAT team. When the smoke clears, we
find at the heart of this book the inspiring story of professionals
who have dedicated their lives to saving others. Captain Snow gives
us the real story behind the Hollywood image - at once exciting and
sobering - of this relatively new and increasingly vital branch of
law enforcement.
