National Coach of the Year Awards -- and many of the players he
coached in college have gone on to NBA stardom! Now Coach K offers
the insights he uses to coax peak performances from his team,
relying on lessons he learned as a captain in the U.S. Army,
sportsmanship, respect, and a genuine gift for leading with the
heart.

This book covers cutting-edge research on the use of
nanoparticles for in vivo diagnostic medical imaging and therapy.
It discusses a variety of nanoparticles, including quantum dots,
carbon nanotubes, dendrimers, gold nanoshells, metal nanorods,
micelles, liposomes, polymers, MRI iron oxide particles, and
microbubbles. Examples in the book include multifunctional
nanoparticles that are designed for multimodality imaging and
simultaneous diagnostic and therapy (theranostic) applications.
Martin Luther King Jr. is known for famous speeches such as I Have
a Dream, and his ability to inspire the people of the United States
to demand equality, regardless of the color of their skin. His
ability to lead has cemented himself as one of America's greatest
civil rights advocates. And in today's world, his wisdom and
teachings are needed more than ever. Martin Luther King Jr., On
Leadership chronicles the actions of Martin Luther King Jr.'s life
and identifies the key leadership skills he displayed such as: *
Practice what you preach * Take direct action without waiting for
other agencies to act * Give credit where credit is due * Laws only
declare rights, they do not deliver them * And much more... This
book is part history and part guide to becoming a great leader,
inspired by Martin Luther King Jr., an advocate to peaceful change
while never wavering in making the opposition listen and give in.
How would Lincoln view race relations, terrorism, gun control,
women's equality, and the influence of special interest groups on
Congress? How would he react to the invasion of Iraq and the Great
Recession? How would he feel about the growing gap between the
haves and the have- nots, a worker's right to strike, the minimum
wage, and labor unions? Would Lincoln have a mobile phone and
embrace the whirl of social media? Phillips grounds his analysis in
an illuminating understanding of Lincoln's own words and actions
and offers a fascinating thesis that longtime fans and newcomers
alike will be eagerto debate.
This volume grew out of a project to conduct a survey of the
scientific literature of the United States for items addressing the
e. thical and humane issues of animal experimentation. The original
purpose of the survey was to provide packground information for the
development of a set of guide lines for the use of animals in
research then in preparation by The New York Academy of Sciences'
Ad Hoc Committee on Animal Research. ! We soon realized, however,
that the survey constituted a valuable resource in its own right.
In this book we present the results of the literature survey along
with relevant information about its legislative and historical con
text. We hope that this material will be helpful to biomedical
researchers grappling with animal welfare problems as well as to
social scientists interested in tracing the evolution of the
20th-century phase of the animal research controversy. The time
span covered by the survey was selected to match the 20-year period
between the passage of the first federal Animal Welfare Act in 1966
and the most recent legislation regulating animal research, which
took effect during 1986. Our analysis examines this transitional
period through the pages of the scientific literature. During these
2 decades, animal re search in the United States was transformed.
Activist animal protection organizations catapulted troublesome
ethical questions to national prom inence, throwing the scientific
community2 into turmoil.
With its emphasis on the rights and power of the individual,
Lincoln on Leadership is destined to become the must-have handbook
for executives in the nineties.
Released in 1979, Ridley Scott's Alien has come to be regarded as a
classic film, and has been widely written about. But how have
audiences engaged with it? This book presents the - sometimes very
surprising - results of a major audience research project,
exploring how people remember and continue to engage with the film.
This innovative treatment of the Kitchen Debate reveals the
event not only as a symbol of U.S. -Soviet military and diplomatic
rivalry but as a battle over living standards that profoundly
shaped the economic, social, and cultural contours of the Cold War
era. The introduction situates the Debate in a survey of the Cold
War, and an unprecedented collection of primary-source
selections--including Soviet accounts never before translated for
an English-speaking audience--connects the Debate to consumer
society, gender ideologies, and geopolitics. Document headnotes, a
chronology, questions to consider, and a bibliography enhance
students' understanding of this defining moment of the Cold
War.
