Organisation Development, as a field, is messy, imperfect and hard
to get hold of - it is like nailing jelly to the wall. A Field
Guide for Organisation Development offers a variety of perspectives
and unparalleled experiences from practitioners and researchers who
all share an interest and involvement in Organisation Development
(OD). In it are multiple voices, mindsets and practices - not all
of which necessarily agree with each other. Leading OD
practitioners present a contemporary, practical guide that tackles
the dilemmas and polarities that face anyone studying or practising
within the OD arena, and encourages them to develop their own
particular practice of OD in a way that is appropriate for their
context, skills and preferences, while challenging them to look
beyond what comes naturally. Here are new ways to support the
growth and development of an organisation from modest endeavours
that are small in scale to organisation-wide change programmes. A
Field Guide for Organisation Development is as comprehensive a
resource to support the practice of OD as can be found anywhere. It
covers issues of organisational health as well as offering tools
aimed at supporting practitioners to survive in the harsh realities
of organisational life. It contains chapters on the OD
practitioner, on groups, on culture, on data and evaluation. It
offers perspectives on change, on the relationship between OD and
HR, and on the use of external consultants.

Life often presents us with change and it's usually memorable.
"Oh," we say, "that happened to me in 2003." When life takes a
turn, we are different after it. We may be stronger, happier or
more alive. Of course, the opposite is true also. Frequently life
presents us with a turn in the path, but sometimes we leave the
trail and set our own course. However it happens, these stories
reveal the people behind the changes.
Augustine of Hippo (354-430) is one of the most influential
figures in the history of the Church. A bishop, philosopher, and
doctor of the Church whose thought has molded the Western
tradition, Augustine was deeply spiritual, and his writings
emphasize the soul's experience of God in its depths. This book
features selections from his writings, including "Confessions" and
"The City of God," and is the perfect introduction to his
influential spiritual life and teachings.
In this graphic, thought-provoking book, Ed Griffin-Nolan
depicts the experiences of Witness for Peace (WFP), a group of
Americans who bore witness to the war in Nicaragua--an event that
resulted in the killing and wounding of many innocent Central
American civilians. Griffin-Nolan explains how WFP participants
spent weeks in the war zones in order to understand the impact of
U.S. policy on simple people living, as one member of the group
phrased it, "at the end of a gun barrel." He describes how WFP
participants labored to bring stories of war back to the United
States, and how many of them lost their jobs and even their
marriages in the process. He concludes by showing that the efforts
of WFP saved lives and possibly prevented "another Vietnam" from
developing in Central America.
This beautiful collection of works from two of the most beloved
religious figures of all time gathers the letters and writings of
both Francis and Clare of Assisi in a poignant presentation of the
power of faith and simplicity that speaks powerfully to us in our
hectic world. Francis of Assisi is a widely celebrated saint,
well-known for his love of nature and his remarkable life of
poverty. Clare is the woman who lived out his legacy in Assisi
after his death, passing on his vision and his cause. Together they
shaped the spirituality of early thirteenth-century Europe. Both
born to noble families, they ultimately rejected their wealth and
founded religious orders known for fostering humility, generosity,
and devout faith, where communities of like-minded persons could
live out a radical commitment to the gospel message of poverty. In
the process Francis and Clare left a spiritual heritage that has
captured the imagination of both believers and nonbelievers
throughout the ages.
