Draws from a diverse range of literature, including history,
philosophy, public administration, leadership, religion, and
spirituality, to explore what it means to be an ethical and moral
leader. Takes a deep dive into the many challenges of leadership,
examining the continuing contrast between bureaucracy and
democracy, the unique ethical and moral characteristics of
nonprofit and faith-based organizations, and the globalization of
organizations and institutions. Develops a more holistic and
interdisciplinary understanding of ethical and moral leadership,
required for more thoughtful theoretical and empirical research.

Routledge is now re-issuing this prestigious series of 204 volumes
originally published between 1910 and 1965. The titles include
works by key figures such asC.G. Jung, Sigmund Freud, Jean Piaget,
Otto Rank, James Hillman, Erich Fromm, Karen Horney and Susan
Isaacs. Each volume is available on its own, as part of a themed
mini-set, or as part of a specially-priced 204-volume set. A
brochure listing each title in the "International Library of
Psychology" series is available upon request.
This volume brings together nineteen important articles by Pamela
M. King, one of the foremost British scholars working on Early
English Drama. Unique to this collection are five articles on the
'living' traditions of performances in Spain, discussing their
origins and the modes of production that are used. Several articles
use modern literary theory on aspects of early drama, whilst others
consider drama in the context of late medieval poetry. The volume
also includes a rich collection of articles on English scriptural
plays from surviving manuscripts.
The role of cognitive and socioemotional skills alongside education
in determining people's success in the labour market has been the
topic of a growing body of research - but previous studies have
mostly missed middle-income countries and the developing world
because measures of those skills and data on employment and
earnings on large enough samples of adults have typically not been
available. Using comparable survey data on these schooling, skills
and labour market outcomes from 13 developing and emerging
economies worldwide, this book revisits human capital and gender
inequality models. It presents new estimates of the returns to
different levels of schooling as well as cognitive and
socioemotional skills for women and men. It examines whether those
returns are due to levels of human capital or to structural bias in
labour markets, and how these two factors work across the earnings
spectrum. The book examines the existence of 'glass ceilings' and
'sticky floors' for women using this expanded measure of human
capital. Further, by analyzing a group of countries of wide-ranging
levels of economic development and socio-political contexts, the
book reveals patterns and insights into how context mediates the
relationship between skills and gender gaps in labour market
outcomes. This book will be of interest to scholars of human
capital and gender inequality in the labour market and development
economics, as well as gender and development policy makers.

Newest research into drama and performance of the Middle Ages and
Tudor period. Medieval English Theatre is the premier journal in
early theatre studies. Its name belies its wide range of interest:
it publishes articles on theatre and pageantry from across the
British Isles up to the opening of the London playhouses and the
suppression of the civic religious plays , and also includes
contributions on European and Latin drama, together with analyses
of modern survivals or equivalents, and of research productions of
medieval plays. The papers in this volume explore richly
interlocking topics. Themes of royalty and play continue from
Volume 43. We have the first in-depth examination of the employment
of the now-famous Black Tudor trumpeter, John Blanke, at the royal
courts of Henry VII and Henry VIII. An entertaining survey of the
popular European game of blanket-tossing accompanies the
translation of a raucous, sophisticated, but surprisingly humane
Dutch rederijkers farce. The Towneley plays remain fertile ground
for further research, and this blanket-tossing farce illuminates a
key scene of the well-known Second Shepherd's Play. New exploration
of a colloquial reference to 'Stafford Blue' in another Towneley
pageant, Noah, not only enlivens the play's social context but
contributes to important current re-thinking of the manuscript's
date. Two papers bring home the theatrical potential of food and
eating. We learn how the Tudor interlude Jacob and Esau dramatises
the preparation and provision of food from the Genesis story.
Serving and eating meals becomes a means of social, theological,
and theatrical manipulation. Contrastingly, in the N. Town Last
Supper play and a French convent drama, we see how the bread of
Passover, the Last Supper, and the Mass could be evoked, layered
and shared in performance. In both these plays the audiences'
experiences of theatre and of communion overlap and inform each
other.
While many introductory public administration textbooks contain a
dedicated chapter on ethics, The Public Administration Profession
is the first to utilize ethics as a lens for understanding the
discipline. Analyses of the ASPA Code of Ethics are deftly woven
into each chapter alongside complete coverage of the institutions,
processes, concepts, persons, history, and typologies a student
needs to gain a thorough grasp of public service as a field of
study and practice. Features include: A significant focus on
"public interests," nonprofit management, hybrid-private
organizations, contracting out and collaborations, and public
service at state and local levels. A careful examination of the
role that religion may play in public servants' decision making, as
well as the unignorable and growing role that faith-based
organizations play in public administration and nonprofit
management at large. End-of-chapter ethics case studies, key
concepts and persons, and dedicated "local community action steps"
in each chapter. Appendices dedicated to future public
administration and nonprofit career management, writing successful
papers throughout a student's career, and professional codes of
ethics. A comprehensive suite of online supplements, including:
lecture slides; quizzes and sample examinations for undergraduate
and graduate courses containing multiple choice, true-false,
identifications, and essay questions; chapter outlines with
suggestions for classroom discussion; and suggestions for use of
appendices, e.g., how to successfully write a short term paper, a
brief policy memo, resume, or a book review. Providing students
with a comprehensive introduction to the subject while offering
instructors an elegant new way to bring ethics prominently into the
curriculum, The Public Administration Profession is an ideal
introductory text for public administration and public affairs
courses at the undergraduate or graduate level.
First Published in 1999. This text is the author's attempt to
orgnaise the field of psychology for students. This volume make a
critical examination of various psychological and
semi-pstchological attempts to classify fundamental human
activities; and thereafter attempts to postulate elementary
behaviour units which may serve psychology precisely as the atom
and electron have served in chemistry.
This volume, from an international and interdisciplinary cohort of
scholars, offers independent-minded essays about central Greek
texts and about the relation of social theory and comparative
method to the study of archaic and classical Greek literature. It
is in honour of James M. Redfield, whose innovative and
theoretically-informed work has been a touchstone for the
contributors; it includes an Introduction that discusses Redfield's
work, as well as a complete Bibliography of Redfield's scholarship.
The volume is divided into three parts: on Homer; Plato in
conversation with epic, tragedy, and comedy; and finally reception
and transmission. An exploration of the dialectical relationship
between literary genre and social form animates many of the essays.
Drawing on work in anthropology, linguistics, sociology, art
history, and philosophy, this volume offers ground-breaking
perspectives on the study of Greek literature. It will be an
invaluable resource to students and researchers alike.

The authors of the New Testament regularly quote and allude to Old
Testament passages that point to the presence, person, and work of
Jesus. Jesus himself claimed that Moses wrote about him (John
5:46). And on the road to Emmaus, Jesus instructed the disciples
from "Moses and all the prophets" regarding himself (Luke 24:27).
Though Christians affirm that the Old Testament bears witness to
Christ, how the Old Testament writers did this is a matter of
extensive debate. Furthermore, Christian biblical scholars also
debate the degree to which contemporary interpreters of the Bible
can follow the hermeneutics of the New Testament authors in using
the Old Testament to point to the person and work of Jesus Christ.
Five Views on Christ in the Old Testament is the first book to
bring together in conversation the major views on how the Old
Testament points to Christ. Contributors and views include: The
First Testament Priority View (John Goldingay) The Christotelic
View (Tremper Longman III) The Redemptive-Historical Christocentric
View (Jason DeRouchie) The Reception-Centered Intertextual View
(Havilah Dharamraj) The Premodern View (Craig Carter) Each
contributor presents their preferred methodology, showing readers
how their interpretive approach best explains the biblical data.
Additionally, authors provide case studies of various Old Testament
passages that equip readers to better compare the strengths and
weaknesses of each of author's approaches. This essential resource
will help readers learn practical steps to help them read the Old
Testament more faithfully as it testifies to Jesus the Messiah.
In this addition to the Church Questions series, David King guides
curious readers on a journey to discover Jesus in Old Testament
stories, law, wisdom, and prophecy.
This special issue of Military Psychology reports behavioral,
pharmacological, and toxicological science research on military
performance as it is affected by chemical warfare agents (CWAs) and
their pharmacological countermeasures. The papers in this issue are
a diverse assembly; some very pharmacological in orientation,
others driven by behavioral neuroscience. The unifying theme is the
psychological consequences or organic syndromes that may be
confused with consequences resulting from exposure to CWAs or use
of their medical countermeasures.
The first statistics guide focussing on practical application to
process control design and maintenance Statistics for Process
Control Engineers is the only guide to statistics written by and
for process control professionals. It takes a wholly practical
approach to the subject. Statistics are applied throughout the life
of a process control scheme from assessing its economic benefit,
designing inferential properties, identifying dynamic models,
monitoring performance and diagnosing faults. This book addresses
all of these areas and more. The book begins with an overview of
various statistical applications in the field of process control,
followed by discussions of data characteristics, probability
functions, data presentation, sample size, significance testing and
commonly used mathematical functions. It then shows how to select
and fit a distribution to data, before moving on to the application
of regression analysis and data reconciliation. The book is
extensively illustrated throughout with line drawings, tables and
equations, and features numerous worked examples. In addition, two
appendices include the data used in the examples and an exhaustive
catalogue of statistical distributions. The data and a
simple-to-use software tool are available for download. The reader
can thus reproduce all of the examples and then extend the same
statistical techniques to real problems. * Takes a back-to-basics
approach with a focus on techniques that have immediate, practical,
problem-solving applications for practicing engineers, as well as
engineering students * Shows how to avoid the many common errors
made by the industry in applying statistics to process control *
Describes not only the well-known statistical distributions but
also demonstrates the advantages of applying the large number that
are less well-known * Inspires engineers to identify new
applications of statistical techniques to the design and support of
control schemes * Provides a deeper understanding of services and
products which control engineers are often tasked with assessing
This book is a valuable professional resource for engineers working
in the global process industry and engineering companies, as well
as students of engineering. It will be of great interest to those
in the oil and gas, chemical, pulp and paper, water purification,
pharmaceuticals and power generation industries, as well as for
design engineers, instrument engineers and process technical
support.
This book offers a sweeping history of Pureora Forest Park, one of
the most significant sites of natural and cultural history interest
in New Zealand. The authors review the geological history of the
volcanic zone, its flora and fauna, and the history of Maori and
European utilization of forest resources. Chapter-length
discussions cover management of the native forest by the New
Zealand Forest Service; the forest village and its sawmills; the
intensive timber harvesting, and the conflicts with
conservationists and expensive compensation agreements that ensued.
Separate chapters cover initiatives to protect the forest from
introduced herbivores; to guard protected species, especially
birds, from predators; the facilities for recreational hunting; the
development of the Timber Trail, an 83 km cycleway through the
forest and along old logging tramways, complete with detailed
interpretation signs illustrating the history of logging; and the
family recreation areas and tracks. The final chapter gathers
conclusions and advances prospects for the future of Pureora
Forest. In sum, the book demonstrates how ecological study,
combined with a respect for people and for nature plus a flexible,
interdisciplinary approach to both local history and current
scientific priorities, can be welded into a consistently effective
strategy for addressing the pressing forest-ecology questions of
our time.
Experts from academia, clinical settings, and the business world
pool their knowledge about work injury prevention and management in
the new Sourcebook of Occupational Rehabilitation. The 22
contributions in this wide-ranging reference address aspects of the
three primary areas of service delivery: prevention, assessment,
and rehabilitation. The text takes a multidisciplinary viewpoint
toward its subject in order to shed light on the mechanisms and
management of work-related disorders. It boasts a wealth of current
and in-depth information, and takes a practical 'applications
approach' to rehabilitation
Niklas Luhmann's social theory stands in direct opposition to the dominant "anthropocentric" traditions of legal and political analysis. King and Thornhill now offer the first comprehensive, critical examination of Luhmann's highly original theory of the operations of the legal and political systems. They describe how from the perspective of his "sociological enlightenment" Luhmann continually calls to account the certainties, the ambitions and rational foundations of The Enlightenment and the idealized versions of law and politics that they have produced.
