Differences in management behavior across organizations are
attributed to differences in priorities and objectives or
differences in the style and preferences of the individuals
involved. This volume challenges this image by attending to the
extra-organizational and extra-individual forces that shape and
constrain how work is structured in organizations. The authors
focus their attention on work within and between organizations and
emphasize the ways in which the jobs are defined, the power and
autonomy they engender, the opportunities that are afforded, and
the constraints that are imposed, are continuously contested not
only at the individual level, but also at a more aggregate and
collective level. This volume is the product of an
interdisciplinary gathering of scholars convened with generous
support of the Canadian Social Science and Humanities Research
Council. It presents new theoretical and empirical papers that
examine aspects of the changing nature of jobs and work in
organizations from multiple perspectives and methodologies.
This Brief offers a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the
current developments in the field of prospective memory, or memory
for delayed intentions. It explores several key areas in
prospective memory research, including computational modeling,
neuroscience and prospective memory, output monitoring, and
implementation intentions. It seeks to increase understanding of
prospective memory as well as offer the latest and most compelling
findings in the field. Prospective memory, or the act of
remembering to carry out a previously formed intention, requires
the processes of encoding, storage, and delayed retrieval of
intended actions. Chapters in this Brief discuss the implementation
and execution of intended actions, as well as the conditions in
which they can fail. In addition, chapters also include reviews of
the current state of the neuroscience of prospective memory as well
as developments in statistical modeling. Laboratory research in the
field of prospective memory began in the late 1980s and since then,
the number of studies has increased exponentially. This Brief
provides timely and relevant information in a field that is ever
expanding and growing. This Brief is an informative resource for
researchers and undergraduate and graduate students in the field of
psychology, cognitive psychology, and neuroscience.
"All We Know "is one of "Publishers Weekly'"s Top 10 Best Books
of 2012
A revelatory biography of three glamorous, complex modern
women
Esther Murphy was a brilliant New York intellectual who dazzled
friends and strangers with an unstoppable flow of conversation. But
she never finished the books she was contracted to write--a painful
failure, and yet a kind of achievement.
The quintessential fan, Mercedes de Acosta had intimate
friendships with the legendary actresses and dancers of the
twentieth century. Her ephemeral legacy is the thousands of objects
she collected to preserve the memory of those performers and to
document her own feelings.
An icon of haute couture and an editor of British "Vogue," Madge
Garland held influential views on fashion that drew on her
feminism, her ideas about modernity, and her love of women.
Existing both vividly and invisibly at the center of culture,
she--like Murphy and de Acosta--is now almost completely
forgotten.
In "All We Know," Lisa Cohen describes these women's glamorous
choices, complicated failures, and controversial personal lives
with lyricism and empathy. At once a series of intimate portraits
and a startling investigation into style, celebrity, sexuality, and
the genre of biography itself, "All We Know "explores a hidden
history of modernism and pays tribute to three compelling
lives.
