"Bridges That Stand" is a novel not to be missed. In this exciting,
and poignant tale, the reader is jarred by scenes of terror and
violence, then views tenderness as young lovers seek answers to the
meaning of life and death. Early air combat scenes reveal the
skills of the fliers. But the reader soon recognizes that these
young men, barely out of their teens, are not prepared to be
conquerors. Marshall Sunder, the Bombardier of a B-26 Medium
Bomber, and a widowed German maid, Kristine, fall in love. She
learns that he is responsible for destroying the Bad Scheidel
Bridge, causing the death of her daughter and mother. Rejected,
Marshall is further depressed by fatal accidents and brutal
vengeance. Transferred home, Marshall meets a war widow, Eileen, in
San Francisco. They commiserate, become lovers, enjoy uninhibited
sex, and continue to communicate. At home Marshall mourns the death
of Kristine's child and mother, attempting to cope with his burden:
breaking the Tenth Commandment, Thou Shalt Not Kill. Visited by a
crewmember, Marshall is stunned by revelations of occurrences at
Bad Scheidel. He returns to Active Duty, and is sent back to
Germany. An astonishing conclusion will enthrall the reader.
"This is one of the most exciting times in the history of science,"
New York Times-bestselling author Sam Kean proclaims in his
introduction to The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2018.
"Things aren't perfect by any means. But there are more scientists
making more discoveries in more places about more things than ever
before." The twenty-six pieces assembled here chart the full
spectrum of those discoveries. From the outer reaches of space, to
the mysteries of the human mind, to the changing culture in labs
and universities across the nation, we see time and again the
sometimes rocky, sometimes revelatory road to understanding, and
along the way catch a glimpse of all that's left to learn.
Why are some acts, but not others, perceived to be fair? How do people who experience unfairness respond toward those held accountable for the unfairness? Organizational Justice and Human Resource Management reviews the theoretical organizational justice literature and explores how the research on justice applies to various topics in organizational behavior, including personnel selection systems, performance appraisal, and the role of fairness in resolving workplace conflict. Authors Robert Folger and Russell Cropanzano introduce a framework of organizational justiceùFairness Theoryùthat integrates previous work in this area by focusing on accountability for events with negative impact on material or psychological well-being. The book concludes with a chapter highlighting those topics that represent promising future directions for research. Researchers, scholars, and doctoral-level students in human resources, organizational behavior, and ethics will find this a timely, thought-provoking resource.
