The Soul of Higher Education: Contemplative Pedagogy, Research and
Institutional Life for the Twenty-first Century contributes to an
understanding of the importance and implications of a contemplative
grounding for higher education. It is the fourth in a series
entitled Advances in Workplace Spirituality: Theory, Research and
Application, which is intended to be an authoritative and
comprehensive series in the field. This volume consists of chapters
written by noted scholars from both Eastern and Western traditions
that shed light on the following questions: What is an appropriate
epistemological grounding for contemplative higher education? How
dues the current dominant epistemology in higher education mitigate
against contemplative teaching, learning, and research? What
alternatives can be offered? How can a contemplative culture be
nurtured in the classroom? What difference does that culture make
in teaching and learning? What is the role of individual and
institutional leadership in creating and sustaining this culture?
What is contemplative research? How can the emerging field of
contemplative studies fit into the twenty-first-century university?
What can faculty and students learn from contemplative practices
about how to find peace of mind in a world of higher education
characterized by increasing complexity, financial pressures, and
conflicts? What does a contemplative organizational structure look
like in higher education? How can committees, faculty meetings, and
administrative teams use contemplative practices to work more
effectively together? How can contemplative decision-making
processes be used in higher education? Given hierarchies, turf
wars, and academics' propensity for using argument as a weapon, is
it possible to introduce contemplative practices into
decision-making situations in appropriate ways?

This book draws together contributions from forest economists in
the Research Triangle of North Carolina, with co-authors from
institutions around the world. It represents our common belief that
rigorous empirical analysis in an economic framework can inform
forest policy. We intend the book as a guide to the empirical
methods that we have found most useful for addressing both
traditional and modem areas of concern in forest policy, including
timber production and markets, multiple use forestry, and valuation
of non-market benefits. 'The book editors and most chapter authors
are affiliated with three institutions in the Research Triangle:
the Southern Research Station of the USDA Forest Service (K. Abt,
Butry, Holmes, Mercer, Moulton, Prestemon, Wear), the Department of
Forestry at North Carolina State University (R. Abt, Ahn, Cubbage,
Sills), and the Environmental and Natural Resource Economics
Program of Research Triangle Institute (Murray, Pattanayak). Two
other Triangle institutions are also represented among the book
authors: Duke University (Kramer) and the Forestland Group
(Zinkhan). In addition to our primary affiliations, many of us are
adjunct faculty and/or graduates of Triangle universities. Many of
our co-authors also graduated from or were previously affiliated
with Triangle institutions. Thus, the selection of topics, methods,
and case studies reflects the work of this particular network of
economists, and to some degree, our location in the southeastern
United States. However, our work and the chapters encompass other
regions of the United States and the world, including Latin America
and Asia.
Is populism fueled by a feeling of manhood under attack? If gender
is its driving force, are there better ways to respond? COVID-19
delivers a stark warning: the global surge of populism endangers
public health. Wronged and Dangerous introduces "viral masculinity"
as a novel way to meet that threat by tackling the deep connection
of our social and physical worlds. It calls us to ask not what
populism says, but how it spreads. Leading with gender without
leaving socioeconomic forces behind, it upends prevailing wisdom
about populist politics today. You do not need to know or care
about gender to get invested. You only need to be concerned with
our future.

Reworking Gender: A Feminist Communicology of Organization examines the place of gender and feminist scholarship in contemporary critical organization studies. Departing from the common view of gender as a specialized branch of organization scholarship, authors Dennis K. Mumby and Karen Lee Ashcraft reposition feminism in a communication-centered model that integrates recent developments in feminist, critical, and postmodern organizational studies. Linking theory to practical projects, the authors address many of the complex and often contradictory concerns of critical organizational scholarship, including issues of discourse, subjectivity, power, race, and class. In a compelling and timely fashion, this important volume explores - Gendered organization studies in the wake of the discursive turn
- The dynamic relationship between gender and organization
- The social construction of gendered work identities
- The intersection of gender, race, sexuality, and class
- The dialectical relation of power and resistance
With its interdisciplinary approach, Reworking Gender: A Feminist Communicology of Organization will be of significant interest to scholars and graduate students in such fields as organizational communication, management and organization studies, sociology, and gender studies.
'And I prayed that I would find a way to tell my most honorable
friend, the Chevalier C. Auguste Dupin, the truth about how I had
finally been murdered, and by whom.' Summer, 1849. When Edgar Allan
Poe travels to Paris to help his dear friend hunt down the criminal
who brought the Dupin family to ruin during the French Revolution,
the sleuthing duo are engaged by the prefect of police to recover
the stolen letter of an infamous Parisian salonniere. Is the thief
one of the French literary greats who attend her salons, or might
it be Dupin's own enemy who is scheming to become the Emperor of
France? Poe and Dupin are quickly embroiled in a deadly cat and
mouse game that takes them to the treacherous tunnels of the city's
necropolis, where few who venture into the notorious Empire of the
Dead manage to return from the darkness...
