Contemporary research on the lives and experiences of women of
color tends to neglect the influence of women's perceived access to
voice as they manage tensions related to race, class, and gender.
Underserved Women of Color, Voice, and Resistance: Claiming a Seat
at the Table contributes to current dialogues that construct Black
Feminist Theory as active, critical engagement within dominant
American institutions that oppress women of color in their daily
lives. Women of color face unique social challenges that exist at
the intersections of race, gender, class, and sexual orientation.
While some challenges are common to women of color, others reflect
the distinct journey each woman makes as she negotiates her
identity within her family, professional circle, social and
romantic relationships, and community. The editors have constructed
a rich collection of voices in this work exploring the politics of
women of color across various social contexts.

angles. In addition, detail images are used to clearly expose key
features of the uniforms and equipment. The text explains the

Jack I. Davis has written this very easy to understand
instructional navigation book. After traveling thousands of miles
on the water and teaching hundreds of navigation and boating
courses, Captain Jack has put his vast experience into this
excellent book. Filled with knowledge, sea stories and humorous
anecdotes, this book is not only a learning tool but thoroughly
enjoyable to read. He has even thrown in a few boating lessons to
help you at sea.
Captain Jack takes the reader through each phase of navigation
by first explaining, in detail, the steps needed to complete each
phase. This is followed by a list of questions to answer, using
your new found knowledge. After you have completed the questions,
you can check your answers at the end of each chapter. All the
calculations are accomplished with simple, grade school math using
an inexpensive calculator and basic plotting tools.
If you believe you do not need these Old Time navigational
skills in this modern age of electronic navigation, Captain Jack
makes this suggestion to you: "Tape a mirror below your GPS
display. When the electronics fail, you can look in the mirror and
see exactly who is lost". Illustrated.

equipment. The text explains the important details about the

Fiir denjenigen, der emt, welches Ereignis mich dazu angeregt hat,
dieses Buch zu schreiben, ist kein Preis ausgesetzt. Die Lektiire
von Auf der Suche nach Spitzenleistun gen der Autoren Robert
Watennan und Thomas Peters war ein sehr wichtiges Ereignis in
meinem 25jiibrigen Engagement als Bankanalytiker, Manager auf
mittlerer Ebene, Chief Executive Officer* und Management-Berater im
kommerziellen Bankgeschlift. Wahrend meiner gesamten Lautbahn
gingen mir einige ungeloste Fragen wieder und wieder durch den
Sinn. Sind Bank-Manager anders als die Manager in anderen Bran
chen? Wird das Bankgeschlift tatsiichlich so schlecht gefiihrt, wie
viele Beobachter glau ben? Wie gut bewiiltigen die Banken die
Veriinderungen im Umfeld? Konnen Manager, die von auBen kommen,
Banken besser fiihren, als solche, die in der Bank groB gewor den
sind und traditionellerweise in den Chefetagen sitzen? Und da
kommen die Herren Waterman und Peters und schlieBen bei der Auswahl
ihrer Spitzenuntemehmen die Banken ganz bewuBt aus Hier liegt ein
wegweisendes Buch vor, herausfordemd und in weiten Kreisen - bei
Bankem und Millionen anderer Lese- als ein wohldurchdachter Rahmen
ftir die Management-Tiitigkeit anerkannt; aber auch dieses Buch
scheint wieder einmal deutlich zu machen, daB man Banken, wenn es
urn das Management geht, nicht unbedingt als Beispiel heranziehen
muB. Die Diskussion urn diese unterschwellig vorhandene Einstellung
fiammte 1983 durch das Egon-Zehnder-Gutachten wieder auf, denn
dieses belegte, daB es gleichwohl Banken mit hervorragenden
Leistungen gibt - zumindest in den USA und im Urteil vergleichba
rer amerikanischer Banken."
This volume continues from Graham I. Davies commentary on Exodus
1-10 and takes the reader up to the end of Exodus chapter 18,
covering the release of the Israelites from Egypt and the crossing
of the Red Sea. Davies brings together all the relevant aids to
exegesis - linguistic, textual, archaeological, historical,
literary, and theological - to help the reader understand the texts
at hand. In addition to the parting of the waters and the defeat of
Pharaoh's army the chapters commented upon also include the
so-called 'Song of the Sea' in Exodus 15, a complex hymn that
Davies studies in depth, and the provision of manna in the desert.
The textual issues are varied and Davies navigates them deftly,
providing close commentary and profound insights into these
well-known texts. Two results of Davies's research are to place the
old hypothesis of an Elohistic source on a much stronger footing
and to reaffirm that both it and the J source extended through both
Genesis and Exodus.
