Adopting an intersectional lens, this timely volume explores the
lived experiences of members of the queer and trans community in
post-secondary STEM culture in the US to provide critical insights
into progressing socially just STEM education pathways. Offering
contributions from students, faculty, practitioners, and
administrators, the volume highlights prevailing issues of
heteronormativity and marginalization across a range of STEM
disciplines. Autoethnographic accounts place minority experiences
within the broader context of social and cultural phenomena to
reveal subtle and overt forms of exclusion, and systematic barriers
to participation in STEM professions, academia, and research.
Finally, the book offers key recommendations to inform future
research and practice. This volume will benefit researchers,
academics, and educators with an interest in higher education,
engineering education, and the sociology of education more broadly.
Those involved with diversity, equity, and inclusion within
education, queer theory, and gender and sexuality studies will also
benefit from this volume.
A smart, small book for any manager s pocket. In every manager s
career there are moments where decisions need to be made in order
to achieve success and this smart, nicely packaged little book can
be there to help each time. The trick to succeeding in these
moments is to identify each of these situations ahead of time and
understand how to act and what to do to reduce the chances of
failure. That is exactly what The Little Black Book for Managers
has done. The authors have listed a whole host of situations most
managers face, based on thousands of personal experiences, and have
mapped out how to deal with each situation. The book contains
specific examples of words and phrases that can be used as well as
illustrations and exercises to analyse your current performance. It
is short on waffle and high on practical wisdom. It is designed to
be dipped in and out of reached for whenever a situation arises.
This is a practical support tool for managers at all levels, from
shop-floor supervisor to main board director. The Little Black Book
for Managers explains how to deal with scenarios such as; * Having
a lack of confidence to deal with other people in the way that is
needed * Times when you have to assert your authority more *
Allocating critical work. Who to choose? * Needing to get extra
effort from the team when under pressure * Incentivising *
Delegation * Having to deal with under-performers * Personality
clashes between work colleagues * Managing a meeting with senior
leaders
Advance Praise for "Informal Learning"
"The key to the twenty-first century will be in learning how to
leverage informal learning for us all. Jay provides us with an
evocative road map to how we can do this."
--John Seely Brown, coauthor, Social Life of Information, and
former chief scientist, Xerox Corp.
"Informal learning is the perfect theme for exploring the next
wave of our field. Jay Cross continues to push our thinking on the
transformational forces of knowledge, learning, and performance. A
must read!"
--Elliott Masie, founder, The MASIE Center's Learning
CONSORTIUM
"In an outsourced, automated age, informal learning has become
the key to high performance and personal fulfillment. And now Jay
Cross has written the very best primer on this woefully neglected
topic. This is a book for both sides of your brain!"
--Daniel H. Pink, author, "A Whole New Mind"
"Jay Cross provides an important challenge for us all--to move
our focus from the classroom to the workplace, and in doing so,
reframe what we do in ways that much more closely reflect how
people actually learn and perform on the job. "Informal Learning"
has profound implications for how we--from trainers to chief
learning officers and from frontline business managers to
executives--must rethink our ideas and practices, not in some
distant future, but right now."
--Marc J. Rosenberg, management consultant, and author, "Beyond
E-Learning"
"This book shows how informal learning experiences connect us
with information, help us share ideas, and obtain new perspectives,
and even help us create new knowledge together."
--Ellen Wagner, director, Worldwide eLearning, Adobe Systems
"The onesentence from this book that hit me like a train: 'Most
corporations invest their training budget where it will have the
least impact.' Wow. In an era of demanding ROI, shrinking budgets,
and the insistence to do more with less, think of the impact that
informal learning could have if it could truly focus learning and
efforts for maximum impact."
--Mark Oehlert, learning strategy architect, Booz Allen
Hamilton

In 2009, Anna, Elizabeth and Debbie were called upon, by God, to do
His will. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, they were able to
save many souls and perform supernatural feats. They give all the
glory to God and operate through the power of prayer. They are
called Jesus' Angels. Their latest mission is to save a 15-year old
girl named Astrid. A strong believer in Christ, she is in a
constant struggle with her backslidden parents. To make matters
worse, Astrid has been targeted. The Jesus' Angels are being
watched by someone only known as the Hooded Man. Knowing everything
about them, he waits patiently for them to make a mistake. When the
sin of pride, fear and putting a relationship above God creeps its
way into their hearts, the Hooded Man knows that it is time for his
attack. Now, the Jesus' Angels must find a way to get over their
sin and get back in God's grace so they can fight the Hooded Man
and save Astrid from a horrible life. That can only be done by
facing their Inner Demons.
Advice, information, and guidance on how to be a good parent and a
