This book explores the definition, nature and context of public
relations crises; it also examines and defines the main elements of
public relations crises and positions it in the context of the
current communication sphere. Public Relations Crisis
Communication: A New Model investigates existing group
communication theories, including organizational culture, critical
theory of organizations, media ecology, public rhetoric, and
cross-cultural communication theory to establish their relevance in
the context of the new model of public relations crisis. Key
concepts from existing public relations crisis theory are also
discussed and validated in order to establish prevailing thought.
Through a case study of Malaysia Airlines MH370, involving a
textual analyses of press communications on the Malaysia Airlines
website, this book scrutinises prevailing theory and definitions.
Most valuably, this book proposes a new definition and model of
public relations crisis, alongside a suggested extension to
existing crisis communication theory in the form of a hierarchy of
publics to be addressed during crises. This will help to address
divergent publics with differing priorities in public relations
crisis communication. This book is of interest to students,
teachers, researchers and practitioners of public relations,
communication, media and marketing, as well as professionals in the
aviation industry and international relations.

When Kristian Anderson received the diagnosis that every devoted
husband and father fears, he refused to resign himself silently to
fate. He began a brave and candid blog as he underwent treatment
for cancer: sharing the joy of each small victory, the devastation
in every setback, and the agonising realisation that he wouldn't
always be able to protect and comfort his little boys when they
were lonely or afraid, or grow old with his wife and soulmate. His
posts full of hope, faith, and breathtaking honesty captured
Australian hearts, then swept across the Pacific, gathering
followers. A poignant video tribute for his wife Rachel became an
internet phenomenon, attracting messages from well-wishers across
the globe. After his death, their love inspired Rachel to bring
together Kristian's blog entries combined with her own intimate
reflections. Days Like These is a heartbreaking account of her
husband's final battle, his strength and courage, but it is also a
story about coming back from grief, and learning how to live again.
One of the most urgent problems facing the world today is
environmental sustainability. Current practices of pollution
control, waste treatment, and environmental protection are not only
hugely expensive and a burden on development but also unsustainable
in the long run for their steady depletion of the world's natural
resources. Any solutions must have proven economic benefits, be
technologically viable, and meet prevailing environmental and
social perspectives.
The main objective of this new set of studies is to describe
methods that help to protect the environment and conserve natural
resources. This can be achieved by applying the 'cradle-to-cradle'
concept, which aims to use materials in closed cyclic loops without
generating any type of waste or pollution. The authors provide the
reader with an introduction to basic concepts of sustainable
development, describe the mechanisms and benefits of related
technologies, and suggest potential uses on a practical level by
examining innovations developed in the mechanical engineering
laboratories of the American University in Cairo. Particular focus
is placed on innovation as a vital means of attaining
sustainability.
A timely contribution to the debate on environmentally sustainable
practices, this book will be indispensable to environmentalists,
scientists, economists, engineers, development specialists, and
policy-makers, as well as being of interest to the lay reader.
The Arab Spring began and ended with Tunisia. In a region beset by
brutal repression, humanitarian disasters, and civil war, Tunisia's
Jasmine Revolution alone gave way to a peaceful transition to a
functioning democracy. Within four short years, Tunisians passed a
progressive constitution, held fair parliamentary elections, and
ushered in the country's first-ever democratically elected
president. But did Tunisia simply avoid the misfortunes that befell
its neighbors, or were there particular features that set the
country apart and made it a special case? In Tunisia: An Arab
Anomaly, Safwan M. Masri explores the factors that have shaped the
country's exceptional experience. He traces Tunisia's history of
reform in the realms of education, religion, and women's rights,
arguing that the seeds for today's relatively liberal and
democratic society were planted as far back as the middle of the
nineteenth century. Masri argues that Tunisia stands out less as a
model that can be replicated in other Arab countries, but rather as
an anomaly, as its history of reformism set it on a separate
trajectory from the rest of the region. The narrative explores
notions of identity, the relationship between Islam and society,
and the hegemonic role of religion in shaping educational, social,
and political agendas across the Arab region. Based on interviews
with dozens of experts, leaders, activists, and ordinary citizens,
and a synthesis of a rich body of knowledge, Masri provides a
sensitive, often personal, account that is critical for
understanding not only Tunisia but also the broader Arab world.

During the summer of 1964, hundreds of American college students
descended on Mississippi to help the state's African American
citizens register to vote. Student organizers, volunteers, and
community members canvassed black neighborhoods to organize the
Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party (MFDP), a group that sought to
give a voice to black Mississippians and demonstrate their will to
vote in the face of terror and intimidation. In For a Voice and the
Vote, author Lisa Anderson Todd gives a fascinating insider's
account of her experience volunteering in Greenville, Mississippi,
during Freedom Summer, when she participated in organizing the
MFDP. Innovative and integrated, the party provided political
education, ran candidates for office, and offered participation in
local and statewide meetings for blacks who were denied the vote.
For Todd, it was an exciting, dangerous, and life-changing
experience. Offering the first full account of the group's five
days in Atlantic City, the book draws on primary sources, oral
histories, and the author's personal interviews of individuals who
were supporters of the MFDP in 1964.
The book traces growing state intervention in the rural areas of
Tunisia and Libya in the middle 1800s and the diverging development
of the two countries during the period of European rule. State
formation accelerated in Tunisia under the French with the result
that, with independence, interest-based policy brokerage became the
principal form of political organization. For Libya, where the
Italians dismantled the pre-colonial administration, independence
brought with it the revival of kinship as the basis for politics.

During the summer of 1964, more than a thousand individuals
descended on Mississippi to help the state's African American
citizens register to vote. Student organizers, volunteers, and
community members canvassed black neighborhoods to organize the
Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party (MFDP), a group that sought to
give a voice to black Mississippians and demonstrate their will to
vote in the face of terror and intimidation.
In For a Voice and the Vote, author Lisa Anderson Todd gives a
fascinating insider's account of her experience volunteering in
Greenville, Mississippi, during Freedom Summer, when she
participated in assembling the MFDP. Innovative and integrated, the
party worked to provide education, candidates, and local and
statewide organization for blacks who were denied the vote. For
Todd, it was an exciting, dangerous, and life-changing experience.
The summer culminated with the 1964 Atlantic City Democratic
Convention, where the MFDP fought boldly for the opportunity to be
included as the voting Mississippi delegation but, when they
ultimately refused the Democrats' unacceptable terms, were
criticized as politically na?ve, militant protestors.
This firsthand account attempts to set the record straight about
the MFDP's challenge to the convention and to shed light on the
efforts of this dedicated, loyal, and courageous delegation.
Offering the first full account of the group's five days in
Atlantic City, For a Voice and the Vote draws on oral histories,
the author's personal interviews of individuals who supported the
MFDP in 1964, and other primary sources.

The conditions that shaped the rise and expansion of American
social science are rapidly changing, and with them, the terms of
its relationship with power and policy. As globalization has
diminished the role of the state as the locus of public policy in
favor of NGOs, multinational corporations and other private
entities, it has raised important questions about the future of the
social sciences and their universalist pretensions.
As dean of Columbia University's School of International and
Public Affairs, Lisa Anderson has a unique vantage point on the
intersection of social sciences, particularly political science,
and public-policy formation and implementation. How do, or should,
the research and findings of the academy affect foreign or domestic
policy today? Why are politicians often quick to dismiss professors
as irrelevant, their undertakings purely "academic," while scholars
often shrink from engagement as agents of social or political
change? There is a tension at work here, and it reveals a deeper
compromise that arose as the modern social sciences were born in
the nursery of late nineteenth century American liberalism: social
scientists would dedicate themselves to the pursuit of objective,
empirically verifiable truth, while relinquishing the exercise of
power to governments and their agents. Anderson argues that this
compromise helped underwrite the expansion of American influence in
the twentieth century, and that it needs serious reexamination at
the dawn of the twenty-first.
"The Origins of Arab Nationalism" contains the most recent
revisionist scholarship on the rise of Arab nationalsim that began
with the fall of the Ottoman Empire.
The various contributors, including C. Ernest Down, Mahmoud
Haddad, Reeva Simon, and Beth Baron, provide an unusually broad
survey of the Arab world at the turn on the century, permitting a
comparison of developments in a variety of settings from Syria and
Egypt to the Hijaz, Libya, and Iraq.
It's 1980, in a small town nestled in the Midwest. The only
protection from the rest of the world for those who call Herrington
home is the belief that innocence is ageless. For Amy, who wants
nothing more than to help a friend, she soon discovers that fate or
something more sinister has another plan. The evening begins like
most, but quickly takes on a life of its own. Journey back to a
time not so long ago, before cell phones, text messages and social
media made themselves available as lifelines to those stumbling
upon uncertainty and struggling with fear. One night, one decision,
and the life of a high school senior can take a path not expected.
