International Public Relations: Perspectives from deeply divided
societies is positioned at the intersection of public relations
(PR) practice with socio-political environments in divided,
conflict and post-conflict societies. While most studies of PR
focus on the activity as it is practiced within stable democratic
societies, this book explores perspectives from contexts that have
tended to be marginalized or uncharted. Presenting research from a
diverse range of societies still deeply divided along racial,
ethnic, religious or linguistic lines, this collection engages with
a variety of questions including how PR practice in these societies
may contribute to our understanding of PR theory building.
Importantly, it highlights the role of communication strategies for
actors that still deploy political violence to achieve their goals,
as well as those that use it in building peace, resolving conflict,
and assisting in the development of civil society. Featuring a
uniquely wide range of original empirical research, including
studies from Israel/Palestine, Mozambique, Northern Ireland, former
Yugoslavia, former Czechoslovakia, Spain, Malaysia and Turkey, this
groundbreaking book will be of interest not only to scholars of
public relations, but also political communication, international
relations, and peace and conflict studies. With a Foreword by
Krishnamurthy Sriramesh, Editor of The Global Public Relations

Motivating other people (and ourselves) is the heart of leadership
in any organization. This book cuts to the chase of ten proven
techniques for converting chuggers into chargers in your company.
A continuation of the remarkable documentary history of the early
RepublicMaureen Taylor, the nation's foremost historical photo
detective, continues her quest to document the Revolutionary War
generation with this collection of rare nineteenth-century
photographic images. Primarily comprised of daguerreotypes,
ambrotypes, and carte de visite paper photographs, this collection
of nearly sixty images presents new works of photography and art.
It assigns faces to a previously un-illustrated war and tells the
stories of our nation's Founding Fathers and Mothers, updating and
supplementing research published over a century ago. Taylor
explains how she collected the images for this project and
describes the exhaustive research involved in dating and
identifying each image. She also explains the process she used for
investigating the story and genealogy of each subject. The array of
images is expansive and includes veterans, loyalists, Native
Americans, African Americans, children, and women. Although the
faces are old and wizened, the stories they tell are of youthful
bravery in the early days of the Republic. The Last Muster, Volume
2 continues the author's contribution to the history of the
American Revolution, the early Republic, and photography. Through
these portraits and the accompanying narrative, readers have the
opportunity to relive the Revolutionary War.
"I wondered if it was possible to use photographic and documentary
evidence to re-create the first generation of Americans-those men,
women, and children bound together by having lived during the
Revolutionary War. . . .While there were many images in public
collections or owned by collectors, I knew through my work as a
curator and as a collector that there were likely even more in
private family collections."-from the Introduction. A remarkable
work of documentary history, The Last Muster is a collection of
rare nineteenth-century photographic images-primarily
daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, and `carte des visite' paper
photographs-of the Revolutionary War generation. This extraordinary
collection of images assigns faces to an un-illustrated war and
tells the stories of our nation's founding fathers and mothers,
updating and supplementing research last collected and published
over a century ago. In her comprehensive introduction, author
Maureen Taylor explains how she came to this project and collected
the images. She also describes her exhaustive primary source
research involved in dating and identifying each image and
investigating the story and genealogy of each subject. The array of
seventy images is expansive and includes veterans, loyalists,
Native Americans, African Americans, children who witnessed battles
and aided soldiers, and women who nursed the wounded and even took
up arms themselves. Although the faces that gaze at the reader are
old and wizened, the stories they tell are of youthful bravery in
the young days of the republic. The Last Muster is a much-needed
contribution to the history of the American Revolution, the early
Republic, and the history of photography. Through these portraits
and the accompanying narrative, readers will have the opportunity
to relive the Revolutionary War. Maureen Taylor is an
internationally known expert on photo identification. She travels
extensively giving presentations on photo identification, photo
preservation, and family history. She has been featured in The Wall
Street Journal and on NBC's Today Show, ABC's The View, and NPR.
