Letters to a Young Leader A New Leadership for a New Generation

Letters to a Young Leader A New Leadership for a New Generation

If you are interested in becoming a better leader this book is a great place to start. Rather than using the familiar textbook approach leadership expert Robert Denhardt offers practical lessons drawn from a lively year-long correspondence with two (fictional) former students about their experiences in leadership. The letters explore the deeply personal issues these and other young and emerging leaders are facing – what the skills and personal qualities are that you need for contemporary leadership what will leadership mean to you and those you lead and even why or why not you might want to become a leader. Along the way the book speaks to the big picture arguing that leadership today has been stripped of its historic contribution to creating meaningful human experience and has been reduced to a technical exercise in executive management. Based on his experience of teaching leadership to thousands of undergraduates graduate students and advanced practitioners Denhardt speaks person-to-person with young leaders about their questions and their concerns as they enter into the somewhat flawed world of leadership today. The result is a call for a new leadership for a new generation. This book will be valuable to students enrolled in regular and executive degree programs in leadership business management public administration nonprofit management educational administration and many other fields. It also speaks to young leaders out of school but committed to enhancing their leadership. Indeed readers of all ages will learn lessons relevant to their own professional development. | Letters to a Young Leader A New Leadership for a New Generation

Is There a God? A Debate

Is There a God? A Debate

Bertrand Russell famously quipped that he didn’t believe in God for the same reason that he didn’t believe in a teapot in orbit between the earth and Mars: it is a bizarre assertion for which no evidence can be provided. Is belief in God really like belief in Russell’s teapot? Kenneth L. Pearce argues that God is no teapot. God is a real answer to the deepest question of all: why is there something rather than nothing? Graham Oppy argues that we should believe that there are none but natural causal entities with none but natural causal properties—and hence should believe that there are no gods. Beginning from this basic disagreement the authors proceed to discuss and debate a wide range of philosophical questions including questions about explanation necessity rationality religious experience mathematical objects the foundations of ethics and the methodology of philosophy. Each author first presents his own side and then they interact through two rounds of objections and replies. Pedagogical features include standard form arguments section summaries bolded key terms and principles a glossary and annotated reading lists. In the volume foreword Helen De Cruz calls the debate both edifying and a joy and sums up what’s at stake: Here you have two carefully formulated positive proposals for worldviews that explain all that is: classical theism or naturalistic atheism. You can follow along with the authors and deliberate: which one do you find more plausible? Though written with beginning students in mind this debate will be of interest to philosophers at all levels and to anyone who values careful rational thought about the nature of reality and our place in it. | Is There a God?

The British Empire A History and a Debate

The British Empire A History and a Debate

What was the course and consequence of the British Empire? The rights and wrongs strengths and weaknesses of empire are a major topic in global history and deservedly so. Focusing on the most prominent and wide-ranging empire in world history the British empire Jeremy Black provides not only a history of that empire but also a perspective from which to consider the issues of its strengths and weaknesses and rights and wrongs. In short this is history both of the past and of the present-day discussion of the past that recognises that discussion over historical empires is in part a reflection of the consideration of contemporary states. In this book Professor Black weaves together an overview of the British Empire across the centuries with a considered commentary on both the public historiography of empire and the politically-charged character of much discussion of it. There is a coverage here of social as well as political and economic dimensions of empire and both the British perspective and that of the colonies is considered. The chronological dimension is set by the need to consider not only imperial expansion by the British state but also the history of Britain within an imperial context. As such this is a story of empires within the British Isles Europe and later world-wide. The book addresses global decline decolonisation and the complex nature of post-colonialism and different imperial activity in modern and contemporary history. Taking a revisionist approach there is no automatic assumption that imperialism empire and colonialism were ’bad’ things. Instead there is a dispassionate and evidence-based evaluation of the British empire as a form of government an economic system and a method of engagement with the world one with both faults and benefits for the metropole and the colony. | The British Empire A History and a Debate

Homeless Near a Thousand Homes A Study of Families Without Homes in South Wales and the West of England

Homeless Near a Thousand Homes A Study of Families Without Homes in South Wales and the West of England

Who becomes homeless? Why? What stresses and strains do these people face? Does losing a home provoke other problems or is it a sequel to them? How far do government policies and provisions go towards meeting the needs of the homeless? What changes would be desirable? To what extent is homelessness due to housing shortages? Originally published in 1971 these and other questions are tackled in this study of the development of services for the homeless. It is based on detailed investigation of provisions in South Wales and the West Country and is a study of the lives of over 500 families who at some stage since 1963 had lost their homes. Hitherto studies of homelessness had been restricted to London or other big urban centres. The questions posed and answered here are much more general and relevant to all parts of the country at the time. Information for the survey came from the records kept in Local Authority Welfare Children’s Health and Housing Departments the Probation and After-Care Service local offices of the Department of Health and Social Security and many voluntary organizations. The findings suggest that in the areas studied homelessness was worse than anticipated and that its demands on the social services were similar in range but different in order of priority from those in the metropolis. Poor housing conditions remain an important feature reinforced by unhelpful attitudes in housing management. Housing shortages are important for large families and those who cannot be self-dependent – more so than for others. Looming over the whole picture is homelessness resulting from broken marriages and family disputes with the attendant difficulties of unsupported motherhood poverty sickness and unemployment. | Homeless Near a Thousand Homes A Study of Families Without Homes in South Wales and the West of England

A Life Well Lived Dialogues with a “Kabouter

A Life Well Lived Dialogues with a “Kabouter

Manfred Kets de Vries wears many “hats”—psychoanalyst executive coach consultant management educator researcher writer—but he has noticed that whichever hat he is wearing every question he is asked boils down to one thing: “How can I live a well-lived life?” Over many years of practice in all these disciplines Professor Kets de Vries has realized the unsurpassed value of stories in tackling human dilemmas and providing answers to this question. The book is therefore one of the most important books he has written for coaches students leaders managers educators—or anyone seeking a more reflective text to guide them through the multitude of questions that we face in work and in life. He draws on a long literary tradition of the unexpected encounter with a wise “other ” fantastic or magical—think The Little Prince Alice's Adventures in Wonderland The Once and Future King the Harry Potter novels—to animate an exploration of the deepest questions and concerns of human beings. He constructs an extended Socratic dialogue between his two “selves”; the first a naïve traveler lost in the Siberian wilderness and the second a reflective avatar who comes to his aid. The avatar takes the form of a “kabouter ” a familiar figure in Dutch folklore whose counterpart can be found in different cultures around the world and throughout centuries of storytelling. Through stories riddles and puzzles the kabouter challenges the traveler to question and reflect upon his life and values guiding him—and readers—toward the insights that will help them achieve a life well lived. | A Life Well Lived Dialogues with a “Kabouter

Aleppo A History

Aleppo A History

Shortlisted for the 2018 British-Kuwait Friendship Society Book Prize Aleppo is one of the longest-surviving cities of the ancient and Islamic Middle East. Until recently it enjoyed a thriving urban life—in particular an active traditional suq with a continuous tradition going back centuries. Its tangle of streets still follow the Hellenistic grid and above it looms the great Citadel which contains recently-uncovered remains of a Bronze/Iron Age temple complex suggesting an even earlier role as a ‘high place’ in the Canaanite tradition. In the Arab Middle Ages Aleppo was a strongpoint of the Islamic resistance to the Crusader presence. Its medieval Citadel is one of the most dramatic examples of a fortified enclosure in the Islamic tradition. In Mamluk and Ottoman times the city took on a thriving commercial role and provided a base for the first European commercial factories and consulates in the Levant. Its commercial life funded a remarkable building tradition with some hundreds of the 600 or so officially-declared monuments dating from these eras. Its diverse ethnic mixture with significant Kurdish Turkish Christian and Armenian communities provide a richer layering of influences on the city’s life. In this volume Ross Burns explores Aleppo's rich history from its earliest history through to the modern era providing a thorough treatment of this fascinating city history accessible both to scholarly readers and to the general public interested in a factual and comprehensive survey of the city’s past. | Aleppo A History

Unilateral Acts A History of a Legal Doctrine

Unilateral Acts A History of a Legal Doctrine

We are in a moment where peoples and states are interested directly or indirectly in asserting their national interest unilaterally if necessary. In the White House the national security policy is premised on America First while Catalans and Iraqi Kurds have taken steps to unilaterally declare their independence. All of these actions have generated tension both domestically and internationally. However even though the potential for unilateral action has been receiving a lot of attention the larger issue of the legality of unilateral acts is often hard to discern. This book provides a history of the doctrine of unilateral acts in international law tracing their treatment in the international sphere from consent based acts to obligations erga omnes to acts of estoppel. Through chapter-by-chapter case studies this book traces the legalization of the category of unilateral acts from its 19th Century foundations into a broad category of obligation. To understand why and how this occurred this book examines the history of the legal doctrine of unilateral acts which shows that in spite of efforts to progressively make unilateral acts legal they are still not precisely defined or easy to apply challenging the very commitment these acts are meant to establish. | Unilateral Acts A History of a Legal Doctrine
