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.

Period photos establish the wear of each item presented in the book.

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.

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.
