Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given
area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject
in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of
travel. They are relevant but also visionary. This state-of-the-art
book takes a forward-looking perspective on the field of Human
Resource Management (HRM). Each contribution takes a view, or
position, on the likely development of the HR function, and
identifies interesting areas and subjects of research that would
help address this future positioning. The book's expert
contributors provide short and succinct reviews of 12 key topics in
strategic HRM, including HR strategy and structure, talent
management, selection, assessment and retention, employee
engagement, workplace well-being, leadership, HR analytics,
productivity, innovation, and globalisation. Each chapter
identifies the strengths and gaps in our knowledge, maps out the
important intellectual boundaries for their field, and outlines
current and future research agendas and how these should inform
practice. In examining these strategic topics the authors point to
the key interfaces between the field of HRM and cognate
disciplines, enabling researchers and practitioners to understand
the models and theories that help tie this agenda together.

'A delight and triumph ... A thing of beauty ... Truly, truly
magical' talkRADIO Look up on a clear evening, and you'll see
thousands of stars shining in the night sky, each telling a story
of their own. With star maps to help easily identify key celestial
bodies, astronomer Giles Sparrow takes 21 stars (and three
imposters) to look at what each pinprick of light can tell us about
the birth, life and death of our universe. From red giants to
supernovae and from stellar cities to our own Sun, The History of
Our Universe in 21 Stars shows how the lights we see in the sky can
help us unravel the mysteries of the cosmos.
A beautiful showcase of Johann Doppelmayr's magnificent Atlas
Coelestis that deconstructs its intricately drawn plates and
explores its influential ideas. Showcasing Johann Doppelmayr's
magnificent 1742 map of the cosmos, Atlas Coelestis, this
spectacular guide to the heavens is also a superb introduction to
the fundamentals and history of astronomy. Charting constellations,
planets, comets and moons, Doppelmayr's Atlas presents the ideas
and discoveries of many famous and influential astronomers,
including Copernicus, Riccioli, Kepler, Newton and Halley, in
intricate colour plates that interweave annotated diagrams and
tables with figurative drawings and ornamental features. Here, you
can appreciate the beauty of those exquisite astronomical and
cosmographical plates and comprehend the details, which are also
presented in step-by-step deconstructed form. Astronomer Giles
Sparrow elucidates the scientific ideas inherent in each plate,
expertly decoding and analysing the complex information contained
in them and placing Doppelmayr's sumptuous Atlas in the context of
the ground-breaking discoveries made during the Renaissance and
Enlightenment periods. A spectacular, revelatory celestial
compendium to the cosmos, Phaenomena expands on and explains
Doppelmayr's original, awe-inspiring Atlas and reflects upon its
influence on the development of the science of astronomy to the
present day.
As with many people-oriented initiatives, employee engagement
remains an emerging science with as many advocates as detractors.
In The Culture Builders Jane Sparrow shares the insight of her
research and experience into how companies are creating an engaged
workforce. Along the way she looks at the evidence, the case for
engagement and how organizations are measuring and defining it.
Having an engagement strategy is merely a first step and so the
book explores how to enable the manager-as-engager. Alongside the
practical models and the guidance, there are stories and examples
from leaders and organizations allowing you to learn, amongst other
things, about the strong sense of purpose felt in John Lewis
Partnership; the importance Innocence places on values; how Sony
has used visual metaphors to give context and strategic direction
and how MGM Resorts targets engagement strategies to the needs of
specific employee groups. The need for sustained employee
performance has been put into sharp focus in recent years. The
Culture Builders is a book that provides the theory and practice to
connect employee engagement to long-term performance. Simply
reading it won't guarantee that performance. Reading it, learning
and applying the lessons it offers, will dramatically improve your
chances.

This book deals with certain aspects of material science,
particularly with the release of thermal energy associated with
bond breaking. It clearly establishes the connection between heat
transfer rates and product quality. The editors then sharply draw
the thermal distinctions between the various categories of welding
processes, and demonstrate how these distinctions are translated
into simulation model uniqueness. The book discusses the
incorporation of radiative heat transfer processes into the
simulation model.
