For forty years, Dean Smith coached the University of North
Carolina basketball team with unsurpassed success. Now, in The
Carolina Way, he explains his coaching philosophy and shows readers
how to apply it to the leadership and team-building challenges they
face in their own lives. In his wry, sensible, wise way, Coach
Smith takes us through every aspect of his program, illustrating
his insights with vivid stories. Accompanying each of Coach Smith's
major points is a "Player Perspective" from a former North Carolina
basketball star and an in-depth "Business Perspective" from Gerald
D. Bell, a world-renowned leadership consultant and a professor at
UNC's Kenan-Flagler Business School. The keystones of Coach Smith's
coaching philosophy are widely applicable and centrally relevant to
building successful teams of any kind.
This innovative and provocative volume focuses on the historical
development of racial thinking and imagining in Mexico and the
southwestern United States over a period of almost five centuries,
from the earliest decades of Spanish colonial rule and the birth of
a multiracial colonial population, to the present. The
distinguished contributors to the volume bring into dialogue
sophisticated new scholarship from an impressive range of
disciplines, including social and cultural history, art history,
legal studies, and performance art. The essays provide an engaging
and original framework for understanding the development of racial
thinking and classification in the region that was once New Spain
and also shed new light on the history of the shifting ties between
Mexico and the United States and the transnational condition of
Latinos in the US today.
Honorable Mention, Bolton Memorial Prize, Conference on Latin
American History A government monopoly provides an excellent case
study of state-society relationships. This is especially true of
the tobacco monopoly in colonial Mexico, whose revenues in the
later half of the eighteenth century were second only to the silver
tithe as the most valuable source of government income. This
comprehensive study of the tobacco monopoly illuminates many of the
most important themes of eighteenth-century Mexican social and
economic history, from issues of economic growth and the supply of
agricultural credit to rural relations, labor markets, urban
protest and urban workers, class formation, work discipline, and
late colonial political culture. Drawing on exhaustive research of
previously unused archival sources, Susan Deans-Smith examines a
wide range of new questions. Who were the bureaucrats who managed
this colonial state enterprise and what policies did they adopt to
develop it? How profitable were the tobacco manufactories, and how
rational was their organization? What impact did the reorganization
of the tobacco trade have upon those people it affected most-the
tobacco planters and tobacco workers? This research uncovers much
that was not previously known about the Bourbon government's
management of the tobacco monopoly and the problems and limitations
it faced. Deans-Smith finds that there was as much continuity as
change after the monopoly's establishment, and that the popular
response was characterized by accommodation, as well as defiance
and resistance. She argues that the problems experienced by the
monopoly at the beginning of the nineteenth century did not
originate from any simmering, entrenched opposition. Rather, an
emphasis upon political stability and short-term profits prevented
any innovative reforms that might have improved the monopoly's
long-term performance and productivity. With detailed quantitative
data and rare material on the urban working poor of colonial
Mexico, Bureaucrats, Planters, and Workers will be important
reading for all students of social, economic, and labor history,
especially of Mexico and Latin America.

Gaining a patient's trust, or the trust of a patient's family, may
seem to be a given, but achieving trust is a fragile, individual,
hazardous endeavour. In an era of distrust of institutions and
professions, the patient must trust the staff of doctors, nurses,
and therapists before a working therapeutic relationship can be
established. In recent decades, coping with angry and difficult
people produced numerous books, consultants, and seminars. This
book approaches the issue from the standpoint of developing a
working, trusting relationship with patients and families, and the
pitfalls that one may encounter. The author discovers that the
individuals -- patients, family members, visitors -- behave in
circumstance of illness in the same manner they behave in other
aspects of their lives: at home, at the grocery store, at the
airport, etc. While most people are reasonable, given their trying
circumstances, a small number are distrustful, difficult, and
consume inordinate time and energy of the staff. The book outlines
situations and problem individuals encountered and how to cope with
them. Trust is not an academic study, but a practical guide. The
recommendations presented developed from trial and implementation
in daily practice. Trust concentrates on behaviour and its
management in a medical setting with no attempt at analysis.
