Modern projects are all about one group of people delivering
benefits to others, so it's no surprise that the human element is
fundamental to project management. The Gower Handbook of People in
Project Management is a complete guide to the human dimensions
involved in projects. The book is a unique and rich compilation of
over 60 chapters about project management roles and the people who
sponsor, manage, deliver, work in or are otherwise important to
project success. It looks at the people-issues that are specific to
different sectors of organization (public, private and third
sector); the organization of people in projects, both real and
virtual; the relationship between people, their roles and the
project environment; and the human behaviours and skills associated
with working collaboratively. Thus this comprehensive and
innovative handbook discusses all the important topics associated
with employing, developing and managing people for successful
projects. The contributors have been drawn from around the world
and include experts ranging from practising managers to academics
and advanced researchers. The Handbook is divided into six parts,
which begin with management and project organization and progress
through to more advanced and emerging practices. It benefits hugely
from Lindsay Scott's expert knowledge and experience in this field
and from Dennis Lock's contributions and meticulous editing to
ensure that the text and illustrations are always lucid and
informative.
A sweeping and poignant history of community response to the
violence of white supremacy and carceral systems in the US, told
through interviews, archival reproductions, and narrative. In the
summer of 2020, the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and
Tony McDade ignited a movement that led to the largest street
protests in American history. Abolitionist grassroots organizers
around the country unified around a clear demand: defund the police
and refund our communities. While the majority of the country
supported the call to reform the police, what followed was a
backlash from mainstream politicians and the press, all but
defeating the movement to end the continued violence against Black
Americans. Defend / Defund examines the history of how
communities have responded to the violence of white supremacy and
carceral systems in the United States and asks what lessons the
modern abolitionist movement can draw from this past. Organized in
a series of thematic sections from the use of self-defense by Black
organizers, to queer resistance in urban spaces, the narrative is
accompanied by over one hundred full-color images including
archival materials produced by Emory Douglas, the Black Panther
Party for Self-Defense and the Young Lords in the 1960s and 70s,
CopWatch and the Stolen Lives Project in the 1980s and 1990s, and
contemporary material from the Movement for Black Lives, Project
NIA, and INCITE!, Defend / Defund shows how deep the struggles for
abolition go and how urgent they remain.  In addition
to full-color reproduction of archival materials, the narrative
includes transcripts of interviews with activists, scholars, and
artists such as Mariame Kaba, Dread Scott, Dennis Flores, Dr.
Joshua Myers, Jawanza Williams (VOCAL-NY and Free Black Radicals),
Cheryl Rivera (NYC-DSA Racial Justice Working Group and Abolition
Action), and Bianca Cunningham (Free Black Radicals). Each
conversation dives into the history of specific struggles with, and
organizing against, police and police brutality. In total,
the publication shows how the modern Defund movement builds on
powerful Black feminist and abolitionist movements past and
imagines alternatives to policing for community safety for our
present.
