An unethical and undemocratic cult of business leadership seems to
hold sway over the minds of President George W. Bush and many other
leaders in our society. According to ethics and leadership expert
James Hoopes, this cult claims that leadership is attained and
exercised through morality. But by instilling false pride and moral
egotism in executives, the leadership cult intensifies the tendency
of power to corrupt. For the first time, Hail to the CEO pulls back
the curtain on the cult of moral leadership, revealing its dangers
while showing readers how to lead with greater integrity and
competence. What's more, it will help all citizens better guard
their freedom against corrupt, ruinous decisions and the "leaders"
who make them. The notion of leaders as moral exemplars began in
business schools and is increasingly influential in the rest of
society. Bush, a veteran of corporate life, is our first president
to hold the degree Master of Business Administration. As a result
of his business education and business experience, he has carried
the leadership cult into the White House--with disastrous results.
Many others have deplored Bush's incompetence and moral arrogance.
Hail to the CEO is the first book to explain that his
failures--from faith-based initiatives to the unconstitutional war
on terror--reflect not just on him but on the business culture that
created him. Moreover, Hail to the CEO challenges many of the
assumptions underlying today's conventional wisdom on leadership.
It will show leaders, for example, that it is morally dangerous to
manage by values rather than manage for values. Hail to the CEO
offers a new model of leadership in which moral influence is
earned, not used, by managing as competently and justly as
possible. More important, by reminding citizens of the democratic
principle that leaders may be moral menaces as well as moral
exemplars, Hail to the CEO will help protect freedom.

will help anyone ready to embrace a new age. "Josiane d'Hoop is a

The cave of Lascaux may be closed to the public, but five scholars
a day are allowed inside, and Nora Barnes has finagled an
appointment. True, she may have fudged a bit in her letter to the
authorities, but she does teach art history, and she isn t about to
miss her chance to see the world s most famous prehistoric
paintings. Nora and her high-spirited husband, Toby, are visiting
the Dordogne, in the southern French region of the Aquitaine. Aware
that the Dordogne s renown for cave art is matched only by its
reputation for delicious cuisine, the couple has also signed up for
a cooking class at a nearby chateau, but they soon find that more
than food is on their minds. During their tour of the cave, another
visitor is murdered. When the local inspector pegs Nora and Toby as
suspects, they embark on a mission to solve the crime, tracing
strange links between a Cro-Magnon symbol and a thirteenth-century
religious cult. As they match wits with the crusty inspector, Nora
finds herself immersed in the notebooks of a forgotten artist who
once lived in the chateau. In sifting through the artist s papers
and uncovering old secrets, she begins to piece together the
motives for the murder. But has she cooked up more trouble than she
can handle? Best Books for General Audiences, selected by the

Property is a constitutionally protected right around the world.
Expropriations are lawful only if they can be legitimately
justified. In the past few decades, there has been an increasing
number of expropriations in favour of private business projects.
Governments hope that these projects will create jobs and economic
growth, but the justification of such third-party transfers for
economic development is controversial. The public benefits of such
expropriations are disputed, since they directly benefit private
parties, and frequently do not have the desired outcome. The
Legitimate Justification of Expropriation: A Comparative Law and
Governance Analysis investigates the institutional, procedural, and
substantive conditions under which different jurisdictions permit
third-party transfers for economic development. The jurisdictions
examined are the Netherlands, Germany, New York State and South
Africa. The Legitimate Justification of Expropriation: A
Comparative Law and Governance Analysis shows that employment or
economic growth created by private business projects is a
legitimate end in all the jurisdictions under examination. However,
some striking differences between the jurisdictions are evident,
with respect to several questions, including: Which state body
decides on whether economic development is a legitimate end? Can a
judge prevent unnecessary or excessive expropriations? Is the
project developer obliged to implement the project? Against the
backdrop of international good governance standards, The Legitimate
Justification of Expropriation: A Comparative Law and Governance
Analysis assesses whether the laws in these jurisdictions are
adequate. The book demonstrates that the examined jurisdictions in
various respects fail to meet international standards and
recommends legal reforms to ensure compliance.

Not all sentences encode their subjects in the same way. Some
languages overtly mark some subjects depending on certain features
of the subject argument or the sentence in which the subject
figures. This is known as Differential Subject Marking (DSM).
Containing illuminating discussions of DSM from languages all over
the world, this book shows that DSM is often the result of
interactions between conflicting constraints on language use.

While the disciplinary architecture of hospitals has long prevailed
in psychiatry, many care teams now work in smaller structures,
within communities. Ariane d'Hoop explores one of these places:
Drawing on fieldwork in a psychiatric day center for teenagers, she
traces how spatial arrangements matter in the care practice. From a
corner in which one can withdraw, to a kitchen inviting to hang
around, or displayed artworks that pique one's curiosity,
caregivers use the material environment to stir up the slightest
affinity from teenagers. This study thus expands our idea of what
attachment is, and makes us more able to recognize the subtle
dynamics between care, things, and spaces. With a preface by
Jeannette Pols.
