A celebration of Sinatra's enduring impact on American entertainment and cultural life. For nearly sixty years, Frank Sinatra [1915-98] triumphed in concert, in the recording studio, on television, and on the big screen, refashioning his image to suit the temper of the times. Sinatra did it "his way," remaining bothelusive and alluring, and appealing to men and women alike. This collection analyzes the qualities that ensured Sinatra's staying power: his impeccable musicality, his charisma, his tough-mindedness, and even his peccadilloes. The contributors to this volume evaluate Sinatra's impact on all areas of entertainment, and examine many of the cultural forces he influenced and was influenced by, including Bing Crosby, Elvis, the "Beats," the Beatles, and Rock 'n' Roll. What emerges is a portrait of an artist, entertainment icon, and legendary symbol of popular culture. This appreciation of the Sinatra phenomenon celebrates his enduring impact on American entertainment and cultural life. Contributors: Blaine Allan, Samuel L.

"The Story of a Life with Strings Attached"
Brad Paisley is one of country music's leading men--admired as a recording artist, a performer, a songwriter, and a guitar slinger. This was not always so. In "Diary of a Player," Paisley for the first time fully retraces his entire musical and personal journey to date. And it all began with a loving grandfather who gave eight-year-old Brad Douglas Paisley a Sears Danelectro guitar--the Christmas gift that would alter Brad's life forever. In Brad's own words, we read his emotional tribute to his late great "Papaw," Warren Jarvis, who sparked his dream come true:
"When I was eight I got a gift from my grandpa. No coincidence that around that time I also got an identity. See, no matter how I have changed, learned, and evolved as a person, the guitar has been a major part of it, and really the only constant. A crutch, a shrink, a friend, love interest, parachute, flying machine, soapbox, canvas, liability, investment, jackpot, tease, a sage, a gateway, an addiction, a recovery, a temptress, a church, a voice, veil, armor, and lifeline. My grandpa knew it could be many of these things for me, but mostly he just wanted me to never be alone. He said if I learned to play, anything would be manageable, and life would be richer. You can get through some real tough moments with that guitar on your knee. When life gets intense, there are people who drink, who seek counseling, eat, or watch TV, pray, cry, sleep, and so on. I play."

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2004 im Fachbereich Soziologie - Arbeit, Beruf, Ausbildung, Organisation, Note: 1,7, Ruhr-Universitat Bochum, Veranstaltung: Entwicklungstrends im Dienstleistungssektor, 18 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Mit dieser Arbeit soll versucht werden aufzuzeigen, welche Mangel der deutsche Einzelhandel im Bereich der Personalentwicklung aufweist und wo akuten Nachholbedarf in diesem speziellen Organisationsbereich besteht. Personalwesen wird in vielen Einzelhandelsunternehmen immer noch auf die klassische Personaladministration (mit den Kernaufgaben Einstellung, Lohnbuchhaltung, Datenerfassung und Kundigung) reduziert. Auf der anderen Seite wird Personalentwicklung dort, wo sie fester Bestandteil der Organisationsstruktur ist, oftmals nur auf Mitglieder des oberen und mittleren Managements angewandt.4 Dieser Missstand fuhrt zu einer sich schleichend ausbreitenden Qualifikationslucke der Mitarbeiter und setzt langfristig eine Negativspirale in Kraft, die von weiteren Umsatzruckgangen und kostenbedingtem Personalabbau gepragt ist. Um die Brisanz dieses Prozesses zu illustrieren und mogliche Handlungsalternativen aufzuzeigen, werde ich zunachst eine kurze Einfuhrung in den Bereich der Dienstleistungen und deren klassische Definition geben. Anschliessend wird der Bereich des Einzelhandels (eingebettet in den Gesamtkontext der gegenwartigen Entwicklungen des Dienstleistungssektors) systematisiert, seine vier Hauptauspragungen in Deutschland dargestellt und zukunftige Entwicklungen prognosti ziert (Kapitel 2). Danach werde ich aktuelle Theorien der Personalentwicklung vorstellen und ihre idealtypischen Trager, Ziele und Konzepte vorstellen (Kapitel 3) Daran anknupfend werden die aus diesen Ergebnissen resultierenden Herausforderungen und Qualifikationsprofile zukunftiger Personalentwicklungsmassnahmen im Einzelhandel formuliert (Kapitel 4) und vor dem Hintergrund aktueller Entwicklungstrends zur Diskussion gestellt (Kapitel
