This book is about worship. Its about how absolutely important
worship is and how, perhaps, it is the highest calling and
occupation of the believer. But its not about excellence of
musicianship in played and sung worship. Its not about
personalities or individuals, or specially gifted folks, or style,
or technique. Its not a how to book, or a work book, or a heres a
service schedule thats bound to work type book. Its about how God
calls us all to be His worshippers and how, perhaps, every single
one of us can, through a deeper understanding of worship, make an
impact and a difference in the society in which we live.
This book shows that in today's business world managers can only
successfully lead with the active cooperation and consent of their
staff. It presents a practical, four-pronged approach to successful
management, drawing on the authors' combined research, consulting
and managerial experience in more than twenty countries. Once a
manager gets the four main ingredients right - (1) getting things
under control; (2) establishing expectations; (3) running
interference; and (4) developing people - everything else falls
into place. Far from being unpleasant and stressful, managing
others becomes rewarding and even fun. The book concludes by
explaining how to use the four ingredients to ensure that your own
manager is also managing you effectively. "If you have time for
only one management book in your life, Management by Permission
would be an outstanding choice." Greg Thompson, President, Markel
Specialty "In this readable and practical book the authors spell
out the key challenges facing managers and how they can address
them. The central question is how you win permission to manage - in
straightforward language this book shows you how." Rob Goffee,
Emeritus Professor, London Business School "A page-turner ... a
strong candidate for 'Management Book of the Year.'" Professor
Stephen J. Perkins, Dean, London Guildhall Faculty of Business
& Law "A 'must read' for anyone on the line management ladder."

This book is the result of research carried out by the partners in
the Adults Learning and Participating in Education (ALPINE)
Project, a project that is principally concerned with increasing
the amount of adult education provided by European universities. It
begins by outlining the current debate about widening participation
in institutions of higher education in general and identifying
issues within the context of the policy that is being developed for
this sector in Europe. It continues with a description of the
position in each of the selected countries in Central and Western
Europe. Experienced adult education practitioners from twenty
European countries have each determined the nature and extent of
the current provision of adult higher education in their own
country. Two final chapters of analysis and conclusions complete
this survey which is the most extensive of its type that has yet
been carried out in Europe.

Why does social anxiety occur, and why are some people more prone
to it than others? Drawing on work on personality and social
psychology, clinical and counselling psychology, communication and
sociology, this book provides an overview of basic and applied
research in the feelings of anxiety, shyness and embarrassment that
are often the consequences of quite ordinary social encounters.;
The authors examine the features of situations that elicit social
anxiety, personality variables that Predispose People To Be
Socially Anxious, The Cognitive And Emotional experience of social
anxiety, its evolutionary and physiological underpinnings, and
strategies for prevention and treatment. The book includes scales
for measuring different manifestations of anxiety, as well as boxed
material providing coverage of topics ranging from social anxiety
among famous personalities to the implications of social anxiety
for student achievement.
