This book is mostly biographical in nature, but also a historical
reference of the horrific destruction of a Jewish community in
Poland. It is also a love story about two people who, despite
incredible adversities, miraculously reunite after surviving World
War II, and build a new life together.
This book directly addresses the explosion of literature about
leveraging analytics with employee data and how organizational
psychologists and practitioners can harness new information to help
guide positive change in the workplace. In order for today's
organizational psychologists to successfully work with their
partners they must go beyond behavioral science into the realms of
computing and business acumen. Similarly, today's data scientists
must appreciate the unique aspects of behavioral data and the
special circumstances which surround HR data and HR systems.
Finally, traditional HR professionals must become familiar with
research methods, statistics, and data systems in order to
collaborate with these new specialized partners and teams. Despite
the increasing importance of this diversity of skill, many
organizations are still unprepared to build teams with the
comprehensive skills necessary to have high performing HR Analytics
functions. And importantly, all these considerations are magnified
by the introduction and acceleration of machine learning in HR.
This book will serve as an introduction to these areas and provide
guidance on building the connectivity across domains required to
establish well-rounded skills for individuals and best practices
for organizations when beginning to apply advanced analytics to
workforce data. It will also introduce machine learning and where
it fits within the larger HR Analytics framework by explaining many
of its basic tenets and methodologies. By the end of the book,
readers will understand the skills required to do advanced HR
analytics well, as well as how to begin designing and applying
machine learning within a larger human capital strategy.

This work explores the tension in East Asia between the trend
towards a convergence of legal practices in the direction of a
universal model and a reassertion of local cultural practices. The
trend towards convergence arises in part from 'globalisation', from
'rule of law programs' promulgated by institutions such as the
International Monetary Fund and the Asian Development Bank, and
from widespread migration in the region, whilst the opposing trend
arises in part from moves to resist such 'globalisation'. This book
explores a wide range of issues related to this key problem,
covering China in particular, where resolving differences in
conceptions about the rule of law is a key issue as China begins to
integrate itself into the World Trade Organisation regime.
Paperclay is an extremely versatile material for the contemporary
potter. Now firmly established in the ceramics world, this mix of
clay and paper fibers is remarkably flexible, strong, and easy to
repair. This highly workable medium allows expressive freedom and
imagination at every stage in the creative process, even after
drying and firing. In Paperclay, artists will discover the world of
possibilities offered by this blend of earth, paper, and water.
Building on the success of her previous books, artist and teacher
Rosette Gault explains how potters and clay sculptors can make,
fire, and reshape paperclay. This comprehensive guide covers a
range of methods from dry modeling to slurry state. Going beyond
the basics, the book introduces advanced techniques for building
armatures, sculpting figures, and forming wall hangings. It also
includes information on recycled and sustainable ingredients.
Paperclay features all-new color photographs and diagrams of
techniques and tools, as well as inspiring works by today's leading
international ceramicists. Packed with photographs and clear
instructions, Gault's book is an essential introduction to
paperclay for ceramics artists and educators.
Based on a four-year longitudinal study of urban adaptation in
Lusaka, Zambia, this book offers both a theoretical analysis and a
case study of African urbanization as a social process. The
author's unique approach to this topic lies in her exploration of
city-life adjustment through the subjective perception of the new
urbanites themselves. The book contains the original interview
material and numerous photos of the extensive fieldwork.
