Much of the published work on disaster response has focused on
specific disasters, highlighting what went wrong. Taking a new
approach, this book explores ways in which transformational
leadership principles may be applied to an organization's disaster
preparation and response, moving the organization away from a
competitive or top-down approach and toward a more collaborative
one. Rather than focus on centralizing responsibility, with
commands emanating from the top, author William Lester offers
readers a new paradigm, with step by step instructions on placing
transformative and collaborative systems front and center, in order
to develop a sustainable disaster response system - one that is not
centered on a specific leader or time, but instead focuses on the
changes needed to build a system that can outlive any one leader.
Implementation plans to move from concept into workable, effective
strategies that can be used immediately are included. Assuming no
prior background in either organizational theory or disaster
response systems, the book offers practical examples and hands-on
explorations of the responses to Hurricanes Sandy, Harvey, Irma,
and Maria, written by experts who know those disasters best -
delivering important insight into what elements make the best
disaster response system.
Salvation and spiritual perfection should not be sought
haphazardly; a strategy is needed to win the battle for our souls.
The Spiritual Combat, first published in 1589, provides timeless
guidance in spiritual discipline. St Francis de Sales (1576-1622)
read from it himself every day and recommended it to everyone under
his direction.
Vigorous, realistic and full of keen insight into human nature,
The Spiritual Combat consists of short chapters based on the maxim
that in the spiritual life one must either \"fight or die\." Fr.
Scupoli shows the Christian how to combat his passions and vices,
especially impurity and sloth, in order to arrive at victory.

Starting in the 1990s, San Francisco launched a series of bold but
relatively unknown public policy experiments to improve wages and
benefits for thousands of local workers. Since then, scholars have
documented the effects of those policies on compensation,
productivity, job creation, and health coverage. Opponents
predicted a range of negative impacts, but the evidence tells a
decidedly different tale. This book brings together that evidence
for the first time, reviews it as a whole, and considers its
lessons for local, state, and federal policymakers.
