While public affairs faculty study administration and management
techniques, few administrators of public affairs programs receive
formal training in the nuts and bolts of academic administration.
Even those faculty who come to academia after distinguished careers
in managerial positions may not be ready for the very different
(and difficult) environment of university administration. The
Public Affairs Faculty Manual argues that public affairs as a field
needs to ensure that knowledge about administration and management
is applied to the running of its academic programs, and brings
together major leaders in the discipline to explore key features of
academic administration. Many of these leaders have served as
Master of Public Administration (MPA) directors, chairs, and deans
at the nation's top public affairs programs. Crucial issues of
academic administration discussed include the basics of public
affairs programs, models of governance, roles of different
administrative leaders, planning and budgeting for programs,
navigating the accreditation process, assessing and improving
student learning, ensuring social equity and cultural competency,
mentoring faculty, developing curriculum, and helping provide
service and applied research to community partners. Contributors
have served as MPA directors, chairs, and deans at the nation's
topic public affairs programs. Themes running throughout the book's
chapters are examined, and additional resources to help manage
public affairs programs are offered. This collection of essays and
the strategies within it are designed to encourage faculty to
assume positions of leadership in their programs and manage those
programs in an effective, efficient, and fair manner. The Public
Affairs Faculty Manual is required reading for new, seasoned, and
aspiring academic administrators in public administration, public
policy, and nonprofit management programs, as well as schools of
government.

The Bridge is a new look at an old subject, the influence of art
& design from the 1st millennium to the 21st century. It is
carefully explored in this fascinating book about "commercial
persuasion." Today's market managers would be wise to become aware
of the value & diversity of the creative world just as the
creative makers & graphic designers must learn to appreciate
the marketing strategies & tactics that lead to the
introduction of a new product. This book explores that world in a
new & fresh way, one that is informative yet entertaining.
Readers will learn how logos began, back in the mists of time &
on ancient battlefields & how they are used today by big
corporations. When did packages first appear & become brands,
fiercely fighting for market dominance? Why is advertising so
powerful a tool of persuasion that advertisers like Anheuser Busch
are willing to pay $2.7 million for a 30 second commercial on the
Superbowl? All these subjects & more are explored in this book

In 1935, at the height of the Great Depression, two Canadian Inuit
fur trappers ordered the largest private sailing ship ever
delivered to be used in transporting their annual catch of fur to
Herschel Island on the MacKenzie Delta in exchange for the supplies
that they needed to survive another winter hundreds of miles north
of the Arctic Circle. Three times she did not make it into port in
time and was frozen solid into the ice. This is the story of one of
the most historic ships in Canada, who under three owners faced
many challenges including; holding land at the entrance of the
fabled NorthWest Passage to protect Canadian Arctic Sovereignty,
was used in sail-training for Inuit, surveyed the controversial
B.C./Alaska border and was chartered to search for mermaids off of
the Aleutian Islands. North Star of Herschel Island is now a
familiar sight on the Victoria, B.C. waterfront and a regular
participant in Classic Boat and Tall Ship Festivals. In 2005 she
represented her country as the Canadian GoodWill Ambassador in an
international gathering of Tall Ships. This is the true story of a
remarkable ship and the people who have known and loved her.
An exhaustive exposition of propagating methods, from growing from

Nationalism remains one of the key political, societal, and
sociopsychological phenomena in contemporary Europe. Its
significance for the justification of state policies and the
stability of political systems, particularly in the context of
advanced democracies, and its significance for people's basic needs
for a political and cultural identity and a sense of national pride
continue to challenge scholars. The international scholars
assembled in this edited collection suggest that the use of three
perspectives supranationalism, boundary-making nationalism, and
regional nationalism may be promising as an explanatory framework
for the analysis of nationalism in Europe. The book's contributors
distance themselves from older dichotomies such as civic and ethnic
nationalism and questions the one-sided normativity of nationalism,
in particular in the concept of liberal nationalism. It argues that
a promising approach to contemporary nationalism should reflect the
multiplicity of nationalism. The volume is a collection of studies
by a multinational group of authors with backgrounds in Belgium,
Bulgaria, Canada, Germany, Latvia, New Zealand, Poland, Spain,
Ukraine and the United States."
