Have you ever been involved in a project that didn't require a
meeting? Neither have we. Well-run project meetings allow teams to
get through the maze of distractions and obstacles to achieve
results. Unfortunately, many project meetings aren't well-run--they
are viewed, by team members, as unproductive, tedious, wastes of
precious time. But you can change that. "The Project Meeting
Facilitator" contains practical techniques and practices that will
help you facilitate our meetings more effectively, transforming
them into well-planned, well-managed journeys that engage the team
while achieving the intended goals.
This book re-evaluates the perception of "courtly love" in Old
French verse. Adams traces how these verses explore the emotional
trials of "amour" and propose coping methods for the lovelorn.

Neither Nature nor Grace operates at the intersection of systematic
and philosophical theology, exploring in particular how St. Thomas
Aquinas variously uses the latter in service to the clarification
and faithful advancement of the former. More specifically, Neither
Nature nor Grace explores the overlooked logical difficulties that
have followed the late modern debates in ecumenical Christian
theology as to whether knowledge of God is available solely through
God's gracious self-revelation (e.g., Jesus Christ and Holy
Scripture), or through revelation and the deliverances of natural
reason. Van Wart takes the prominent French Dominican Reginald
Garrigou-Lagrange as paradigmatic for the case that knowledge of
God can be had by both revelation and natural reason. Representing
the opposing position, that God can only be known through divine
revelation, Van Wart highlights the work of influential Protestant
theologian Karl Barth. By placing these two imposing 20th century
theologians in conversation, and by providing a careful
theo-philosophical analysis of the logical mechanics of each
thinker's respective arguments, Van Wart shows how both
inadvertently overreach their self-professed epistemological bounds
and just so run into significant problems maintaining the coherence
of their relative theological positions. That is, against their
expressed intentions to the contrary, both thinkers unwittingly
evacuate the divine essence of the mystery Christian tradition has
always previously claimed it to have, effectively reducing the
being of God to mere creaturely being writ large. As a contrasting
corrective to this problem, Van Wart proffers a constructive
grammatical reading of Aquinas's measured account of the crucial
but often overlooked logical differences between what can be said
of the divine, on the one hand, versus what can be known of God, on
the other. While many recent works have attempted to solve the
ongoing arguments which Garrigou-Lagrange and Barth epitomize
regarding the epistemic use of God's effects, Van Wart's
contribution constructively pushes the conversation to a different
level in showing how Aquinas's grammar of God provides a salutary
means of dissolving and moving beyond these contentious debates
altogether.
In The Road to Success, Brandon T. Adams and Samantha Rossin share
every success and failure to ensure readers have the tools
necessary to succeed in the world as it is today. Brandon T. Adams
and Samantha Rossin, a newly engaged couple, spent 2018 traveling
the country on a mission to find the true meaning of success before
they tie the knot in marriage. Along the way, they experienced life
with individuals who had achieved their own unconventional versions
of success. Throughout The Road to Success, Brandon and Samantha
bring readers into their own journey as a couple and share with
them the lessons they learned that can help one discover their own
meaning of success. Each success story and obstacle has its own
lessons that provides readers with the wisdom necessary to achieve
their own version of success in business, life, and love. After
reading The Road to Success, readers find the answers they have
been looking for to achieve their own success and happiness in
life.
In From the Outside In, Carolyn T. Adams addresses the role of
suburban elites in setting development agendas for urban
municipalities and their larger metropolitan regions. She shows how
major nongovernmental, nonmarket institutions are taking
responsibility for reshaping Philadelphia, led by suburban and
state elites who sit on boards and recruit like-minded suburban
colleagues to join them. In Philadelphia and other American cities,
Third Sector organizations have built and expanded hospitals,
universities, research centers, performing arts venues, museums,
parks, and waterfronts, creating whole new districts that are
expanding outward from the city's historic downtown.
The author draws on three decades of scholarship on Philadelphia
and her personal experience in the city s nonprofit world to argue
that suburban elites have recognized the importance of the central
city to their own future and have intervened to redevelop central
city land and institutions. Suburban interests and state allies
have channeled critical investments in downtown development and K
12 education. Adams contrasts those suburban priorities with
transportation infrastructure and neighborhood redevelopment, two
policy domains in which suburban elites display less strategic
engagement. From the Outside In is a rich examination of the
promise and difficulty of governance that is increasingly distinct
from elected government and thus divorced from the usual means of
democratic control within an urban municipality."

This powerful narrative tells the triumphant story of the men and
women who spent their lives and fortunes trying to abolish the
institution of slavery in the United States. The practice of
African slavery has been described as the United States's most
shameful sin. Undoing this practice was a long, complex struggle
that lasted centuries and ultimately drove America to a bitter
civil war. After an introduction that places the United States's
form of slavery into a global, historical perspective, author T.
Adams Upchurch shows how an ancient custom evolved into the
American South's peculiar institution. The gripping narrative will
fascinate readers, while excerpts from primary documents provide
glimpses into the minds of key abolitionists and proslavery
apologists. The book's glossary, annotated bibliography, and
chronology will be indispensable tools for readers researching and
writing papers on slavery or abolitionists, making this text ideal
for high school and college-level students. Contains excerpts from
speeches and writings of William Lloyd Garrison, Frederick
Douglass, John C. Calhoun, and others, as well as documents from
the American Anti-Slavery Society and the Liberty party Provides a
chronological history beginning with the colonial era and ending
with the Civil War, covering every major event in the abolition
movement Includes a biographical profiles section containing
several mini-biographies of the most important abolitionists A
glossary defines terms used commonly in discussing American slavery
and abolitionism such as "chattel," "mulatto," and "moral suasion"
