Wise Management in Organisational Complexity (Hardcover): M. Thompson, D. Bevan Wise Management in Organisational Complexity (Hardcover)
M. Thompson, D. Bevan
R1,849 Discovery Miles 18 490 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Wise Management in Organisational Complexity is an interdisciplinary response to widely debated concerns on the state of management under the stresses of 'sound-byte' communications and of organisational complexity. Aristotle's principles of wisdom are applied in contemporary management and governance and are linked to the larger idea of human potential and the Common Good. A Chinese philosophical perspective on Confucian meritocracy and Wangdao management brings a fresh perspective to an insightful anthology of analysis and reflection relevant to managers, researchers and teachers in management education. The reader is challenged to explore the practice of wisdom and to find new inter-disciplinary, methodological and pedagogical approaches for its application. Interest in wisdom as a topic for research has been growing across the disciplines of organisational studies, leadership studies, philosophy and psychology. The authors demonstrate an alternative to the disciplinary silo approach to management studies and offer a challenging alternative to current research methods.

Fleeing the City - Studies in the Culture and Politics of Antiurbanism (Hardcover): M. Thompson Fleeing the City - Studies in the Culture and Politics of Antiurbanism (Hardcover)
M. Thompson
R2,793 Discovery Miles 27 930 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This collection of essays explores the phenomenon of antiurbanism: the antipathy, fear, and hatred of the city. Antiurbanism has been a pervasive counter-discourse to modernity and urbanization especially since the beginning of industrialism and the dawning of modern life. Most of the attention on modernity has been focused on urbanization and its consequences. But as the essays collected here demonstrate, antiurbanism is an equally important reality as it can be seen as playing a crucial role in cultural identity, in the formation of the self within the context of modernity, as well as in the root of many forms of conservative politics and cultural movements.

R710 Discovery Miles 7 100 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Imagine never learning how to read or write, let alone receiving any formal educational training. One would find it difficult to survive in today's society, yet Nellie M. Thompson has thrived even before she learned to read at the age of 88. This inspiring account of a Choctaw Indian woman, whose courage and faith in God move her through many difficult trials, weaves memorable anecdotes into a fresh, first-hand perspective of her history and culture. Significant to readers for what is revealed about Native American experiences in today's society, Thompson offers vivid recollections of hardship, sacrifice, and camaraderie of a forgotten people. A descendant of Chief Pushmataha (who the Civil War general Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson called the "greatest Indian" he had ever known), Thompson was born a princess by the signs of the moon. Her powerful memoir tells of growing up as a Choctaw Indian in the small-town Midwest of Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas and eventually California in the late 1940s. Her faith in God was shaped after she was healed from Polio by an Indian medicine man at the age of eight --this experience dictated her personal commitment to a lifetime of service. She herself became an Indian Medicine woman treating human ailment with herbs and Indian techniques. Now a 2nd grade reader, Thompson poignantly relates the humble details of her youth and early adulthood, adroitly interspersing these often-sordid memories with detailed accounts of child-rearing, reservation living, food preparation, and much more of interest to ethnologists and students of Native American history. Universal appeal is offered through Thompson's outlook of humor and wisdom that applies to all ages and cultures. Living alternately with her father and foster home after enduring her mother's untimely death, Thompson learned to fend for herself by cleaning homes, skinning rabbits, and nursing pigs. Her proudest accomplishment is that all of her children graduated from high school.

The book includes over 150 illustrations that support key topics.

Inglorious Pedagogy - Difficult, Unpopular, and Uncommon Topics in Library and Information Science Education (Hardcover): Keren... Inglorious Pedagogy - Difficult, Unpopular, and Uncommon Topics in Library and Information Science Education (Hardcover)
Keren Dali, Kim M Thompson

Topics and issues in library and information science education pedagogy are commonly discussed in panels, conferences, peer-reviewed articles, professional articles, and dedicated monographs. However, in this abundance of education-oriented discussions, there are several noticeable gaps and omissions. Not always do education-oriented publications involve theoretical grounding that could make them stronger in argumentation and more generalizable to other contexts. Addressing these gaps, the book stands to strengthen the less covered areas of LIS pedagogical thought; it enriches a theoretical foundation of pedagogical discourse and broadens its scope. This volume brings together a collection of essays from library and information science (LIS) educators from around the world who delve into difficult, unpopular, and uncommonly discussed topics—the inglorious pedagogy, as we call it—based on their practice and scholarship. Presenting perspectives from Australia, Canada, China, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States, each chapter is a case study, rooted not only in the author’s experience but also in a solid theoretical or analytical framework that helps the reader make sense of the situations, behaviors, impact, and human emotions involved in each. The collective thought woven in the book chapters leads the reader through the milestones of (in)glorious pedagogy to a better understanding of the potentially transformative nature and wasted opportunities of graduate LIS education and higher education in general.

After World War II, Ernst Ludwig Ehrlich (1921-2007) published works in English and German by eminent Israeli scholars, in this way introducing them to a wider audience in Europe and North America. The series he founded for that purpose, Studia Judaica, continues to offer a platform for scholarly studies and editions that cover all eras in the history of the Jewish religion.

Clumsy Solutions for a Complex World - Governance, Politics and Plural Perceptions (Hardcover, Annotated Ed): M. Verweij, M.... Clumsy Solutions for a Complex World - Governance, Politics and Plural Perceptions (Hardcover, Annotated Ed)
M. Verweij, M. Thompson
R1,477 Discovery Miles 14 770 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

"Clumsy Solutions for a Complex World" is a powerful and original statement on why well-intended attempts to alleviate pressing social ills too often derail, and how effective, efficient and broadly acceptable solutions to social problems can be found. It takes its cue from the idea that our endlessly changing and complex social worlds consist of ceaseless interactions between four ways of organizing, justifying and perceiving social relations. Each time one of these perspectives is excluded from collective decision-making, governance failure inevitably results. Successful solutions are therefore creative combinations of four opposing ways of organizing and thinking.

Shane M. Thompson
R3,685 Discovery Miles 36 850 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This volume examines the power relationships between the rulers of the Late Bronze and Iron Age and their subjects in the Levant through the lens of "cultural hegemony". It explores the impact of these foreign powers on all social classes and reconstructs the public presence of cultural control. The book serves to determine the impact of foreign control on the daily lives of those living in the ancient Levant, and offers a means by which to attempt to discuss non-elites in the ancient Near East. It examines expressions of foreign ideology within public performance such as religious expressions and in public places, observable by all social classes, which assert control or dominance over local identity markers. In utilizing textual, epigraphic, and archaeological records, it paints a more complete picture of Levantine society during this time while also drawing upon evidence from neighbouring Anatolia, Egypt, and Mesopotamia. This is a fascinating resource for students and scholars of the ancient Near East, particularly the Levant but also Anatolia, Egypt, and Mesopotamia in the Late Bronze and Iron Age periods. It is also useful for scholars working on power and imperialism across history.

R2,511 Discovery Miles 25 110 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The Classroom Library: A Catalyst for Literacy Instruction serves two purposes by first providing classroom teachers with a how-to guide in setting up and using the classroom library to support literacy. Next, it provides teachers with excerpts and stories of practicing teachers who have successfully used their classroom library to teach literacy. A wide array of photos, documents, tips, ideas, and descriptions lead teachers to create a classroom library that will scaffold students in the classroom library to establish and extend their literacy development. Several chapters specifically focus on working with under-served students, including students in urban settings, those who are learning English as a second language, and students without access to other libraries. Content in this book is easy to use to help teachers establish a library oasis in their classroom to support learners in preschool through grade eight classrooms. This book is a companion book to More Mirrors in the Classroom:Using Urban Children's Literature to Increase Literacy. Both volumes cover the selection of culturally responsive children's literature.

Kim M Thompson, Paul T. Jaeger, Natalie Greene Taylor, Mega Subramaniam, John Carlo Bertot
R2,351 Discovery Miles 23 510 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Digital Literacy and Digital Inclusion: Information Policy and the Public Library examines the interrelationships between digital literacy, digital inclusion, and public policy, emphasizing the impacts of these policy decisions on the ability of individuals and communities to successfully participate in the information society. The ability to use the Internet to meet information needs is often labeled digital literacy, while access to the Internet in order to apply the skills of digital literacy is often discussed in terms of digital inclusion; while both are widely recognized as central to participation in contemporary society, they are rarely considered as policy issues. This book is the first detailed consideration of digital literacy and digital inclusion as policy problems and as core issues in information policy and libraries.The unique features of this book include: *Drawing together the key themes and findings from the discourse on digital literacy and digital inclusion widely spread among many fields; *Analyzing digital literacy and digital inclusion as policy issues, both being driven and regulated by policy; *Building on a wealth of original research conducted by the authors using different quantitative and qualitative data collection approaches on four different continents when analyzing these issues, providing unique examples, case studies, and perspectives; *Using information behavior theory to provide important insights about these issues at individual, community, and political levels; *Providing recommendations to inform practice in libraries and help libraries to frame their advocacy for public policies that support literacy and inclusion; and *Providing policy recommendations to improve the creation and implementation of policy instruments that promote digital literacy and digital inclusion. The authors of this book have been involved in this research space for many years and their experience provides a broad view across the literature and problems, as well as across national perspectives.This breadth allows the book to offer comprehensive policy recommendations, solutions, and best practices for an area that is currently extremely fragmented in discourse, practice, and policy.

Nonconformity in the Nineteenth Century (Paperback): David M. Thompson Nonconformity in the Nineteenth Century (Paperback)
David M. Thompson
R1,302 Discovery Miles 13 020 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

First published in 1972, this volume shows the potency, and the limitations of Nonconformity in shaping the beginning of modern Britain. It draws upon a wide range of sources including the writings and discussions of Nonconformists themselves, their critics, and contemporary commentators. The extracts and the extensive introduction set Nonconformity in the broader context of social and political history, and address the 'life' of the free Churches: their conflicts, internal and externals, their organization and spread, and their theology. The collection demonstrates the variety and diversity of Nonconformity as well as the controversies and debates of the period. This book will be an excellent reference for students of History, English and Theology, and will provide a starting point for those who wish to explore Nonconformist history.
