This title offers a critical review of performance management from
multiple perspectives, with messages for research and practice. It
provides authoritative overviews of current knowledge on
performance management in a wide range of fields and sectors. It
engages with contemporary debates around stakeholders,
accountability, evidence-based practice and research relevance. It
includes contributions from internationally renowned scholars. Many
authors draw on practical experience as managers in the private and
public sectors.It takes a new look at performance management that
goes beyond discipline approaches and explores how we might
integrate thinking through inter-disciplinary research, informed by
management practice. This impartial review traces the evolution of
how performance is understood and comes from experts of over a
dozen disciplines and sectors.
This is a book about the why and how of doing experiments on rocks,
minerals, magmas, and fluids. It could have as logically been
subtitled "Experimental petrology" as "Experimental geochemistry,"
but we chose geochemistry to emphasize the broad and overlapping
nature of current experimental work. We have tried to aim the book
at a general readership which we hope will include advanced
undergraduate students, graduate students, and anyone else
interested in learning something about experimental petrology.
Although we hope there will be something of interest for the
practicing experimentalist, our aim is at the non-experimentalist
interested in learning why experiments are useful, what kind of
experiments can be done, and what some of the major problems and
limitations are and how they can best be avoided. The result of a
journey through this book should be an ability to evaluate
published experimental work critically and a knowledge of the kinds
of problems an experimentalist might be able to help solve. Some
details of experimental technique are included in the Appendix for
those readers who want to "get their hands dirty. " Indeed, one of
our main incentives for writing this book was to try to encourage
more petrologists and geochemists to become experimentalists. In
our pedagogical approach we have chosen to discuss a small number
of case histories as illustrations of principles and techniques. We
have tried to select studies we regard as well executed.

Nineteenth Century Educator, Theologian and Author Robert
Milligan's life is lovingly remembered and beautifully retold in
this literary biography.
"Reminds me of some of the great works of Wilbur Smith." - Lillian
Brummet, Reviewer A thousand years ago an almost legendary city
existed in southern Africa, the hub of trade and with mystical
stories abounding about its power and origins. But by the end of
the 14th Century it was inexplicably deserted, and the rubble that
is left is now known as the Zimbabwe Ruins. In the 1960s and 70s a
war raged for possession of Rhodesia, now known as Zimbabwe. A
country named for the ruins of a city no-one has the answers for;
yet in our story the two are intertwined, tied in like a knot.
Powerful women who shaped their worlds: Tcana, daughter of a
cattleherd, yet fated to be wife of the King's son, and high
priestess of a new religion that would tear apart that same
kingdom; and Rebecca, a TV journalist hundreds of years later, face
to face with the fury of a bush war which would challenge her faith
and her heart, and in the final hour would see her facing her enemy
in the very place that Tcana had held sacred. Powerful men whose
own destinies were set on fire by the catalyst of their women. Two
sons of one king, good and evil. Two warriers, Selous Scouts, white
and black, fighting side by side against an insurgent malevolence.
And, once again, two religions in a battle to the death.
A collection of seventy-five meditations, Lest We
Forget-Meditations at the Meal of Remembrance utilizes anecdotes,
family life, historical references, familiar hymns, and more to
relate the ancient practice of the Lord's Supper in ways that are
both applicable and uplifting for the modern community of faith. In
the tradition of the free churches that regularly observe the
Lord's Supper, communion is often presided over by the laity, or
members of the congregation, rather than strictly being the
function of the ministerial staff. These brief meditations are
intended to provide those who direct the thoughts of a congregation
during the Lord's Supper with words that focus on the body and
blood of Jesus Christ and the centrality of the meal of remembrance
in Christian worship. In addition, a brief introduction gives
practical tools and helpful insights into the preparation of the
communion time, building confidence in those who are called upon to
speak the words of Truth.
