The Modern Guide identifies five core characteristics of
contemporary networks and translates these into ten key pieces of
guidance for researchers and practitioners. Arguing that a
knowledgeâpractice gap has emerged due to the lack of contact
between network practitioners and researchers, contributors chart a
more collaborative future for the field. They identify how research
can be effectively translated and implemented to shape the future
of social networks. This Modern Guide highlights the key dimensions
of todayâs networks, advancing knowledge of how networks operate
and how they will function in the future. It showcases the
diversity of these networks through extensive case studies,
examining experiments in network structure, governance, management,
leadership, and evaluation. Combining academic perspectives with
practice-based insights, it pushes disciplinary boundaries and
provides unique insights into researching and participating in
social networks. Providing a state-of-the-art overview of modern
networks, it will prove invaluable to academics and researchers in
organisation studies, public administration and management, and
social networks. It will also be a useful resource for
practitioners seeking guidance on how to adapt to the rapid
evolution of networks.
Memphis is equal parts music and food--the products of a community
marked with grit and resiliency. The city's blues and soul music
have lifted spirits, while barbecue has been a serious business
ever since pork first entered the culinary landscape of Memphis
with Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto, who brought the New World
its first herd of pigs. Succulent pulled pork and ribs have become
part of the fabric of life in the River City, and today they are
cooked up in kitchens ranging from the internationally acclaimed,
like Corky's, to the humblest of roadside dives. Told through the
history of its barbecue is the story of the city of Memphis, from
legendary joints like Leonard's Barbecue, where Elvis Presley
hosted private parties, to lesser-known places like William's
Bar-B-Q in the West Memphis, Arkansas neighborhood where wild,
late-night blues juke joints served as a red-light district across
the river from Beale Street in the 1950s and '60s. Sink your teeth
into this rich history chock-full of interviews and insights from
the city's finest pitmasters and 'cue gurus who continue the long
tradition of creating art with meat and flame.
This insightful Handbook presents readers with a comprehensive
range of original research within the field of Collaborative Public
Management (CPM). As a central area of study and practice in public
administration, the Handbook explores the most important questions
facing collaboration and provides future research directions and
new areas of study. Featuring expert contributions from a diverse
range of scholars, this Handbook showcases the emergence of
collaborative governance research and charts connections among the
multiple arenas of CPM; including public/private partnerships,
emergency management and climate change management. Chapters cover
the fundamental practices and limitations of CPM as well as future
possibilities. Reflecting on leading theories and research, the
Handbook argues that CPM is both an evolving field, as well as a
varied and maturing one that is worthy of continued exploration.
The Handbook will be a valuable resource to scholars and graduate
students in subjects such as public administration and public
policy, who are interested in examining current research and
approaches within the field. The examination of collaborative
initiatives will also be beneficial to administrative leaders in
public services who want to understand how to lead and manage more
dynamic arrangements.

From the winner of The President Joseph R. Biden Lifetime
Achievement Award, a spiritual guide to restoring yourself from
racial trauma and committing to the long work of dismantling
racism. In her work as Executive Director of the Absalom Jones
Center for Racial Healing, Meeks has fought tirelessly to shed
light on racism and provide tools and experiences to enable faith
communities to work to combat it. In this new book, she shares
highlights and insights from her journey and offers a much-needed
meditative guide for the weary and frustrated. By looking inward
and at each other clearly, she argues, good people of all
backgrounds can forge a long term and individual path to making a
difference. With personal stories and thoughtful direction, she
takes the reader on the trajectory from self-awareness to
recognition of the past to a new and individual way forward.
Meditation topics include how to work through fear and rage, how
stories can help heal, honoring your ancestors while looking toward
the future, what it really means to love one another and the
meaning of social justice.
Engaging Native American Publics considers the increasing influence
of Indigenous groups as key audiences, collaborators, and authors
with regards to their own linguistic documentation and
representation. The chapters critically examine a variety of North
American case studies to reflect on the forms and effects of new
collaborations between language researchers and Indigenous
communities, as well as the types and uses of products that emerge
with notions of cultural maintenance and linguistic revitalization
in mind. In assessing the nature and degree of change from an early
period of "salvage" research to a period of greater Indigenous
"self-determination," the volume addresses whether increased
empowerment and accountability has truly transformed the terms of
engagement and what the implications for the future might be.
