An insurgency in Nigeria by the Islamist extremist group Boko Haram
has left thousands dead, shaken Africa's biggest country and
worried the world. Yet it remains a mysterious - almost unknowable
- organisation. rough exhaustive on-the-ground reporting, Mike
Smith takes readers inside the conflict and provides the first
in-depth account of the violence and unrest. He traces Boko Haram
from its beginnings as a small Islamist sect in Nigeria's remote
north-east, led by a baby-faced but charismatic preacher, to its
transformation into a hydra-headed entity, deploying suicide
bombers and abducting schoolgirls. Much of the book is told through
the eyes of Nigerians who have found themselves caught between
frightening insurgents and security forces accused of horrifying
brutality. It includes the voices of a forgotten police officer
left paralysed by an attack, women whose husbands have been
murdered and a sword-wielding vigilante using charms to fend of
insurgent bullets. It journeys through the sleaze and corruption
that has robbed Africa's biggest oil producer of its potential,
making it such fertile ground for extremism.Along the way it
questions whether there can be any end to the violence and the ways
in which this might be achieved. Interspersed with history, this
book delves into the roots of this unholy war being waged by a
virtually unknown organisation, which is set to shape the destiny
of Africa's biggest economy and most populous state - and perhaps
affect the future of Africa.
The impetus for this volume came from the editors' belief that most
current research and thinking about personnel selection and
assessment in organizations considered only the perspective of the
employer. The job applicant seeking to join the organization or the
employee being considered for promotion or reassignment was
typically given little attention from the designers of employment
or assessment systems. They believed that this imbalance had
several negative implications: 1. Organizational selection and
assessment appeared to be the principal area within work and
organizational psychology that had forgotten a basic tenet of the
profession of psychology, namely, that the welfare of the
individual is paramount. 2. A lack of concern for the individuals
who were being assessed could result in additional criticisms of
psychological assessment in employment settings. 3. The
acceptability of selection and assessment devices and systems may
impact in (largely) unknown ways on the decisions of individuals to
apply for jobs or transfers, thus affecting the selection ratio and
potential utility of such systems. 4. Individual reactions to the
characteristics of assessment and selection devices could affect
the accuracy of the information obtained about those individuals,
adversely affecting the reliability and validity of resulting
personnel decisions. Informally discussing these concerns with
their professional colleagues, the editors found that others were
similarly troubled. Their next response was to organize a three day
conference bringing together a number of researchers in applied
psychology to present papers and participate in discussions related
to balancing individual and organizational needs in selection and
assessment. Revisions of the papers presented at this conference
form the core of this volume.

A full-color, lushly illustrated graphic novel that recounts the
many-layered past and present of beer through dynamic pairings of
pictures and meticulously researched insight into the history of
the world's favorite brew.
Starting from about 7,000 BC, "The Comic Book Story of Beer
"traces beer's influence through world history, encapsulating early
man's experiments with fermentation, the rise and fall of Ancient
Rome, the (often beer-related) factors that led Europe out of the
Dark Ages, the Age of Exploration, the spread of capitalism, the
Reformation, and on up to the contemporary explosion of craft
brewing. No book has ever told the story of beer in a graphic
format as a liberating or emancipating force that improved the life
of everyday people. Visually riffing on abstract subjects like
pasteurization, "original gravity," and "lagering," artist Aaron
McConnell has a flair for cinematic action and demonstrates
versatility in depicting characters and episodes from beer's rich
history. Hand-drawn in a classic, accessible style, "The Comic Book
Story of Beer" makes a great gift, and will appeal to the most avid
comic book geek and those who live for beer.

2008, the Atlanta Falcons had a 4 12 record and the franchise had
never before achieved back-to-back winning seasons. Under Smith s

a great culture, lead with the right mindset, create strong
relationships, improve teamwork, execute at a higher level, and
avoid the pitfalls that sabotage far too many leaders and
organizations. In addition to sharing what went right with the
Falcons, Smith also transparently shares what went wrong his last
two seasons and provides invaluable lessons leaders can take away
from his victories, success, failures and mistakes. Whether it s an
executive leadership team of a Fortune 500 company, a sports team,
an emergency room team, military team, or a school team successful
leaders coach their team and develop, mentor, encourage, and guide

their relationships, connections, and organization. You Win in the
Locker Room First offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at one of
the most pressure packed leadership jobs on the planet and what
leaders can learn from these experiences in order to build their
own winning team.
