Colonial Contexts and Postcolonial Theology focuses on what
postcolonial theologies look like in colonial contexts,
particularly in dialogue with the First Nations Peoples in
Australia and the Asia-Pacific. The contributors have roots in the
Asia-Pacific, but the struggles, theologies and concerns they
address are shared across the seas.
This edited volume is derived from a conference held in honor of
Charles Hulin's contribution to the psychology of work. His
research has carefully developed and tested theory related to job
satisfaction, withdrawal from work, and sexual harassment. Edited
by Hulin's students, "The Psychology of Work" discusses research in
job satisfaction. This research shows that job satisfaction plays
an essential role in theories of organizational behavior. Formal
models are used, such as item response theory, structural equation
modeling, and computational models.
Three general and consistent themes in Hulin's research are
represented in this book's chapters. The first theme is a focus on
broad, general constructs, such as job satisfaction. The virtue of
this approach is that a wide range of behavior can be explained by
a small number of variables. The second theme involves the
examination of the antecedents and consequences of job
satisfaction. This theme is increasingly important because it ties
research on job attitudes and job behaviors where links are
consistently found to social attitudes and behaviors where links
are rarely found. The third theme consists of Hulin's interest in
the use of formal models to characterize and understand behavior.
This volume will be of interest to scholars and students in
industrial/organizational psychology, human resources,
organizational behavior, and management.
This first-ever English translation of Nur Baba – a classic of
modern Turkish literature written by Yakup Kadri Karaosmanoğlu –
offers a unique window into Sufi lodges, social dilemmas, and
intellectual life in early twentieth-century Istanbul. Inspired by
Karaosmanoğlu’s personal experiences with Islamic mystical
orders, it is a story of illicit romance and spiritual inquiry,
depicting a colourful lodge of Sufi dervishes led by a charismatic,
yet morally suspect, spiritual master named Nur Baba. The plot
follows his attempts to seduce an attractive married woman from an
elite family and recounts her dramatic experiences in the life of a
Sufi community. The setting shuttles between the grand mansions of
Istanbul’s elite families and a Sufi lodge where rich and poor
intermingle. Exploring questions of gender, morality, and religious
bias throughout, it captures the zeitgeist of early
twentieth-century modernist thinkers who criticised Sufism for
impeding social progress and debated the public roles of women in a
rapidly modernising society. Alongside the editor’s meticulous
translation, the volume includes a scholarly introduction, maps,
and images, as well as explanatory footnotes that will aid both
students and scholars alike. The novel will be of particular
interest to those studying world literature, Sufi studies, and
Ottoman-Turkish history.
While nutrition is central to the management of diabetes, there is
no one "diabetic diet". Nutritional prescriptions depend on the
type of diabetes, food preferences, lifestyle, treatment regimen,
comorbidities, state of health, and the route of caloric
administration. Nutritional Strategies for the Diabetic/Prediabetic
Patient is a comprehensive reference aimed at advancing physicians'
knowledge of nutrition in relation to diabetes, allowing them to
provide evidence-based recommendations for their diabetic patients.
It also provides dietitians and diabetic educators with an in-depth
understanding of the pathophysiology and medical treatment of
diabetes. Written by scientists, clinicians, registered dietitians,
and certified diabetes educators, this book reviews the molecular
mechanisms of disease and drug therapy. It also provides
recommendations for management with the level of evidence indicated
where appropriate. In areas where little research data is
available, the editors present recommendations based on extensive
clinical experience. The book places particular focus on the
synchronization of nutrient intake with medications, and provides
unique clinical management tools, along with details of their
ability to be replicated for patient use. To facilitate
accessibility, it features evidence-based technical reviews of
clinical literature and includes numerous tables and figures, with
color photos of wound healing stages. Addressing all aspects of
nutrition in adult diabetic and prediabetic patients, Nutritional
Strategies for the Diabetic/Prediabetic Patient is an important
referencefor those concerned with the dietary management of this
disease.
The petrochemicals industry is very complex and requires
considerable knowledge of the individual processes to develop
effective pollution control plans and processes. Information in
this small book is intended to provide a base from which one can
build. It is not exhaustive in describing the segments of the
industry or pollution control techniques; however, it does provide
a basic knowledge that should lead to intelligent, environmentally
sound solutions to pollution prevention, control, and treatment.
"The Berbers "is the first attempt by English scholars to provide a
comprehensive overview of the history of the Berber-speaking
peoples. From the first appearance of humans in the Maghreb,
through the rise of the formidable Berber kingdoms of Numidia and
Mauretania, the book traces the origins of the distinct
characteristics of these disparate peoples, regarded as the
indigenous inhabitants of North Africa. In examining, too, the
responses to external overlords, whether Romans, Byzantines, Arabs,
Turks, or, most recently, European imperial powers, the authors
indicate the importance for the various Berber communities of such
factors as language, tradition, social organization and
geographical location. The book also covers the role of religion
and trade as forces of social change in North Africa.
The authors draw on a wide range of sources, from archaeology
and history, to anthropology and literature. In showing the
Berber-speaking peoples in their immediate social environments, the
book explains how they retained a range of traditional systems of
organization alongside those of the dominant cultures. "The Berbers
"will thus help the reader to appreciate the Berber past and to
understand their present.

From the leading authors in mediation and dispute resolution comes
this new psychology-based work on the nuts and bolts of mediation.
Using the behavioral theories of interests, rights, and power,
Goldberg, Brett, and Brenneur explain what mediators do, what makes
for a successful mediator, and how best to structure a
mediation-essentially the role of the mediator and the disputing
parties at each step of the process. Also included is an essential
chapter on the relationship between mediation and the law by Nancy
Rogers, one of the foremost U.S. authorities on the topic.
Hugh the Chanter's History is a vivid and partly first-hand account
of the church of York between 1069 and 1127. It illuminates the
history not only of the church and court of England, but also of
France and the papal curia in these years. The text of this revised
edition differs considerably from its predecessors: it is based on
a complete re-collation of the manuscript, and on a number of other
copies of the documents it cites; the translation has also been
adjusted at many points. There is a full introduction, which
describes the manuscript, Hugh's background and purpose in writing,
the chapter of York, and the issues at stake with Canterbury and
Scotland. The textual apparatus and the notes to the text are
entirely new. The editors' detailed and scholarly revision of this
valuable source greatly increases our understanding of church and
state under the Normans.
In the global marketplace, negotiation frequently takes place
across cultural boundaries, yet negotiation theory has
traditionally been grounded in Western culture. This book, which
provides an in-depth review of the field of negotiation theory,
expands current thinking to include cross-cultural perspectives.
The contents of the book reflect the diversity of negotiation -
research-negotiator cognition, motivation, emotion, communication,
power and disputing, intergroup relationships, third parties,
justice, technology, and social dilemmas - and provides new insight
into negotiation theory, questioning assumptions, expanding
constructs, and identifying limits not apparent from working
exclusively within one culture. The book is organized in three
sections and pairs chapters on negotiation theory with chapters on
culture. The first part emphasizes psychological processes -
cognition, motivation, and emotion. Part II examines the
negotiation process. The third part emphasizes the social context
of negotiation. A final chapter synthesizes the main themes of the
book to illustrate how scholars and practitioners can capitalize on
the synergy between culture and negotiation research.

Trust is the foundation for strong working relationships, but the
way people from different cultures search for and decide to trust
varies. Searching for Trust in the Global Economy describes these
cultural differences from the perspective of 82 managers from 33
different countries in four regions of the world. It addresses the
current global business climate with insights from managers
describing how the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the process of
searching for and deciding to trust new business partners. Jeanne
M. Brett and Tyree D. Mitchell propose a simple framework that
explains the cultural differences in deciding to trust new business
partners. They suggest that the key to understanding cultural
differences in the process lies in the interplay between cultural
levels of trust and "tightness-looseness," or the degree to which a
culture strongly enforces its norms. They explain how searching for
and deciding to trust is different in the high-trust, loose
cultures of the West, the high-trust, tight cultures in East Asia,
the low-trust, tight cultures in the Middle East/South Asia, and
the low-trust, loose cultures in Latin America. Searching for Trust
in the Global Economy is based on managers' experiences building
new business relationships around the world, but its practical
advice for searching for and deciding to trust is useful not only
for business leaders but also for government, not-for-profit, and
other leaders who are responsible for building new relationships in
the global economy.
