Dixie World

The Adventures of an Immortal Being

By: John H. Cary

Dixie World begins at the conclusion of the Civil War, and follows The Adventures of an Immortal Being named David Greene, who has lived for more than 60,000 years, accumulating a mass wealth of knowledge. He wakes up in a cave after hibernating in a deep sleep for the past few decades to begin his quest. Journey along as David lives, loves, battles pirates, Japanese warships, giant squids and other enemies while creating other immortals who will join him on a quest to establish "the Dixie Way," a lifestyle of discipline, honor, respect, peace and truth. His hibernation survival is explained, as well as the discovery of his wife and a saber-toothed cat in the cave. These immortals share a thirst for knowledge and are incredibly fit. Can their plan to create a peaceful world populated by a "Greene Team" become reality, or will modern politics destroy what has been 600 centuries in the making?

The History of the Confederate War, Its Causes and Its Conduct: A Narrative and Critical History (Complete)

By: George Cary Eggleston

The war of 1861–65 was in fact a revolution. Had the South succeeded in the purposes with which that war was undertaken it would have divided the American Republic into two separate and independent confederations of states, the Union and the Southern Confederacy. The North having succeeded, no such division was accomplished, but none the less was a revolution wrought as has been suggested in the introductory chapter of this work. Familiarly, and by way of convenience, we are accustomed to call this "The Civil war," in contra-distinction from those other wars in which the American power has been arrayed against that of foreign nations. But the term "Civil war," as thus applied, is neither accurate nor justly descriptive. In all that is essential to definition this was a public and not a civil war and it is necessary to a just understanding of the struggle and its outcome to bear this fact in mind. Otherwise the entire attitude and conduct of the Federal government toward its antagonist must be inexplicable, inconsistent and wanting in dignity. The Southern States asserted and undertook to maintain by a resolute appeal to arms, their right to an independent place among the nations of the earth. In the end they failed in that endeavor. But while the conflict lasted they so far maintained their contention as to win from their adversary a sufficient recognition of their attitude to serve all the purposes of public rather than civil war. They instituted and maintained a government, with a legislature, an executive, a judiciary, a department of state, an army, a navy, a treasury, and all the rest of the things that independent nations set up as the official equipment of their national housekeeping. Not only did foreign powers recognize their right to make war, not as rebels but as legitimate belligerents entitled to all the consideration that the laws of civilized war guarantee to nations, but the United States government itself made similar recognition of the South's status as a power possessed of the right to make war.

Work and Stress: A Research Overview

A Research Overview

By: Philip Dewe,Cary L Cooper

Stress is a leading cause of ill health in the workplace. This shortform book analyses, summarises and contextualises research around stress at work. The book begins by exploring the impact and challenges of technology and the challenging and changing contours and boundaries of the nature of work. Using a behaviour lens, the authors draw on cyberpsychology to illuminate the choices we make to balance life, work and wellbeing. The changing nature of work is analysed, shifting structures and boundaries explored and the stress consequences of such themes as the gig economy and precarious work are also included in the book. A compelling framework for researchers of work, organisation and psychology, this concise book is also valuable reading for reflective practitioners, seeking to understand the importance of wellbeing in the workplace

Managing Value-Based Organizations

It's Not What You Think

By: Bruce Hoag,Cary L. Cooper

This is a well researched and thoroughly readable work. As well as giving a comprehensive and clear history of organisations and their evolving forms, it manages to explain the implications of this to practitioners today. In particular the entire discussion of the value based organisation and what this means for the exploitation of knowledge, organisational learning and innovation are relevant to younger, knowledge based organisations. The world of work has changed for ever in the increasingly knowledge based economy and the way we manage and lead has to change with it. This book provides a good insight to those that need to lead the change. Bill Parsons, ARM Holdings plc A fascinating look at why organisations are the way they are and how we can improve them. This well-written and accessible book offers intelligence, insight as well as practical advice. This is essential reading for organisational theorists as well as practitioners. Binna Kandola, Senior Partner, Pearn Kandola, UK Hoag & Cooper s work is an important addition to our understanding of organizations. I think this book will be of wide interest not only to the academic and consultative community but also business practitioners that want to better understand the organizations they operate in. I appreciate the historical and systemic context they have been able to provide for the reader. Its informative style make it a must read this year. Robert Kovach, RHR International Company, UK Academics and practitioners will find that this book presents a novel theoretical perspective. It illustrates that many features of current practice, contrary to many gurus, are consistent with the status quo that highly limits progress. For example, the authors describe what they call the myths of rightsizing, competitive advantage and balanced scorecard. The authors present extensive illustrations of how their value-based perspectives can lead to new policies and practices in managing organizations. Chris Argyris, Harvard Business School, US An insightful and enjoyable book. Bruce Hoag and Cary Cooper first provide a concise history of work, organizations and management highlighting what has changed over time and why. Then emphasizing the value-based organization an organization committed to delivering value to all of its stakeholders they tackle the so what providing practical advice for organizations, managers and employees. It will make you think. Ronald J. Burke, York University, Canada Managing Value-Based Organizations argues that those who fail to understand management history are destined to repeat it. Research has shown that despite the prodigious output of management books, managers still have little idea why there is so much change in the world of work or what they can do about it. Most, it seems, are still waiting for the dust to settle, expecting instead that in the near future they will be able to go back to doing things the way they have always done them. This highly innovative and accessible book takes a historical look at how the organization and management of work has changed since before the Industrial Revolution and uses this as a basis to explain: how and why organizations and management behavior have evolved over the past 500 years the importance of understanding how organizations are changing today and what they will become in the future what new organizations will look like and how managers will have to change to be effective in them, and how managers can change their organization from one which is locked in tradition to one which is flexible enough to respond positively to constant change. Revealing both the practicalities and theories behind surviving upheaval in the workplace, academics, business managers and HR managers alike will find this book to be a fascinating and invaluable read.

The Tragedy of Mariam

By: Elizabeth Cary

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Tragedy of Mariam

By: Elizabeth Cary

The Tragedy of Mariam, the Fair Queen of Jewry is a Jacobean closet drama by Elizabeth Tanfield Cary. First published in 1613, it was the first work by a woman to be published under her real name. Never performed during Cary's lifetime, and apparently never intended for performance, the Senecan revenge tragedy tells the story of Mariam, the second wife of Herod. The play exposes and explores the themes of sex, divorce, betrayal, murder, and Jewish society under Herod's tyrannous rule. The wide-ranging introduction discusses the play in the context of closet drama, female dramatists and feminist criticism, providing an ideal edition for study and teaching. This is a major edition of an unusual and provocative play not widely available elsewhere.

June Cleaver Was a Feminist!

Reconsidering the Female Characters of Early Television

By: Cary O’Dell

Long dismissed as ciphers, sycophants and "Stepford Wives," women characters of primetime television during the 1950s through the 1980s are overdue for this careful reassessment. From smart, savvy wives and resilient mothers (including the much-maligned June Cleaver and Donna Reed) to talented working women (long before the debut of "Mary Tyler Moore") to crimebusters and even criminals, American women on television emerge as a diverse, empowered, individualistic, and capable lot, highly worthy of emulation and appreciation.

Horse People

Stories

By: Cary Holladay

Set in the pastoral horse country of Rapidan, Virginia, the stories in Cary Holladay's Horse People chronicle the lives of the Fenton family through the Civil War, the Great Depression, and World War II. At the center of these interconnected stories is Nelle, a northern debutante who marries into the Fenton family and establishes herself as their stern and combative matriarch. Nelle's arrival in Virginia sets up the familial conflict: The Fentons, though well-respected millers and horse-breeders, remain yeoman farmers, whereas Nelle grew up in a wealthy, urban environment. Her high-brow sensibility creates animosity within her new family and fosters resentment among the rural poor. Headstrong and contentious, Nelle relies on an almost supernatural connection with horses to escape the hostility that surrounds her. As Nelle ages and experiences the sweeping cultural changes and hardships of early twentieth-century America, she comes to symbolize everything she once challenged in this community. Through these multi-generational stories, Holladay draws on the folklore and history of her native Virginia and examines the cultural, racial, gender, and economic tensions that pervaded the entire nation. As a result, Horse People considers a particular place and the life of an exceptional woman as indicative of the struggles of all.

Carefully Taught

American History through Broadway Musicals

By: Cary Ginell

Carefully Taught looks at American history as depicted in forty Broadway musicals. Presented chronologically according to the musical timeframe, award-winning theater critic and author Cary Ginell dissects the stories, characters, and songs to not only examine how Broadway viewed historical events, epochs, and personalities, but also to capture how dramatic license separated fact from fantasy. The chosen musicals fall into a variety of categories: biographies of famous Americans, (Andrew Jackson and Fiorello LaGuardia), stories with national conflicts (Hamilton, South Pacific), events that captured the attention of the American public (Floyd Collins, Newsies), and sociological studies or satires of specific eras (The Music Man, Hair). Many books have been written about Broadway, but Carefully Taught, from the song "You've Got To Be Carefully Taught" in South Pacific, uniquely approaches American history from two vantage points: the point of view of the playwright and composer accompanied with the context of how these events were seen when they were produced versus how they are seen today. Ginell’s research of contemporary theater reviews and in-depth studies of productions’ back stories play off his knowledge gained from his quarter century as a theater critic in Southern California.The combination is a complete overview of American history on the stage from the coveted balcony seat.

Work Stress and Coping

Forces of Change and Challenges

By: Philip J. Dewe,Cary L. Cooper

With an emphasis on the growing influence of globalization, the book explores the forces of change within contemporary societies and assesses how they have fundamentally changed the nature of work and the direction of research into stress and coping. Capturing the history, context, critique and transformation of theory into practice, the authors offer an insight into how managers and businesses have failed, the effects this has had on how work is experienced, the evolution and relevance of existing theories and suggest alternative methods and future directions. Suitable reading for students of HRM, Organisational Behaviour and Occupational Psychology.

The Price of a Child

A Novel

By: Lorene Cary

An intimate, gripping novel of the antebellum Underground Railroad, based on the true story of a valiant Philadelphia freedwoman—a debut novel from the author of the “stunning memoir” Black Ice (New York Times). "A stunning achievement ... a deeply engrossing story." —The Philadelphia Inquirer With Price of a Child—the story of Ginnie Pryor (cook, mistress and servant to a Virginia planter) and her struggle with slavery in 1855—Lorene Cary continues has created a work that elevates the reputation she created with Black Ice, her memoir which won her comparisons to Maya Angelou and Richard Wright. In a novel that examines the price of freedom and the value of a child's life, Cary has created an authentic American heroine—a woman who finds voice for the appalling loss and bitterness of her past, and who creates within herself a new humanity.

Mort Ziff Is Not Dead

By: Cary Fagan

A humorous coming-of-age middle-grade novel set in 1960s Florida. Battling obxious siblings, sunburns, and a corporate millionaire, Norman is determined to help an old comedian save his career. It's the winter of 1965. Norman Fishbein is enduring not only a cold winter but also the usual torments and annoyances from his two older brothers. When Norman wins a thousand dollars in the "Count-the-Doozy-Dots Contest" his parents let him choose how to spend it, strongly suggesting a new car is what the family needs. But Norman decides what his family really needs is their first vacation that doesn't mean camping in a tent--a trip to Miami Beach. A snowstorm almost wrecks their plans, but in the end Norman gets his first plane ride (with both brothers air-sick on either side of him). Miami strikes him as a paradise--warm weather, palm trees, beaches, and ocean. They stay in luxury at the Royal Palm Hotel, owned by the mysterious millionaire Herbert Spitzer. One day at the pool Norman spots an old man in a black suit, who his father tells him is a once-famous comedian named Mort Ziff. (Norman's father thought that Mort Ziff had died years ago.) Holding onto the remains of his career, Mort Ziff is performing every night in the hotel dining room. A chance meeting begins an unusual friendship between Norman and the old comedian. But after hearing that Mort Ziff has been fired, to be replaced by "The Centipedes," a pop group imitating the Beatles, Norman takes matters into his own hands, resolving to save Mort's job and in the process, coming to realize an innner strength he didn't know he had.

The Tragedy of Mariam, the Fair Queen of Jewry

with The Lady Falkland: Her Life, by One of Her Daughters

By: Elizabeth Cary

The Tragedy of Mariam (1613) is the first original play by a woman to be published in England, and its author is the first English woman writer to be memorialized in a biography, which is included with this edition of the play. Mariam is a distinctive example of Renaissance drama that serves the desire of today's readers and scholars to know not merely how women were represented in the early modern period but also how they themselves perceived their own condition. With this textually emended and fully annotated edition, the play will now be accessible to all readers. The accompanying biography of Cary further enriches our knowledge of both domestic and religious conflicts in the seventeenth century.

SUBCLINICAL PSYCHOPATHS

SUBCLINICAL PSYCHOPATHS

How They Adapt, Their Interpersonal Interactions with and Effect on Others, and How to Detect Them

By: Cary Stacy Smith,Li-Ching Hung

It is estimated that psychopaths make up about 1 percent of the general population. They do everything that a normal person does, with the exception that they possess no empathy and/or conscience toward others, are highly skilled in the art of manipulation, and they have no compunction using others to get what they want and are masters at it. This book is intended for mental health professionals who want to know more about a phenomenon that is both fascinating and scary and who seek to gain information about a topic that, thus far, has received scant attention from researchers. The authors focus on a number of different areas concerning subclinical psychopathy, with some chapters being more technical than others primarily due to the nature of the data reported. Chapters include: An Introduction to Subclinical Psychopathy; A Short History of Psychopathy; What is Subclinical Psychopathy?; The Psychopathic Brain; Child and Adolescent Psychopaths; Interpersonal Relationships; Personality Factors—How to Detect Psychopaths; Treatment for Psychopathy; and How to Deal with the Psychopath in Your Life. While the book is not a treatise on subclinical psychopathy, after reading it, readers will walk away with a better understanding of the subject.

Risky Business

Psychological, Physical and Financial Costs of High Risk Behavior in Organizations

By: Cary L. Cooper

What are the financial and psychological costs of risky behavior in business to the individuals concerned and their organizations? Risky Business provides a perspective on addictive behaviors such as gambling, drug taking and even addiction to work; criminal behaviors such as theft and corruption; and behaviors such as aggression and violence. The authors then look at their implications to employee and organizational health within the context of the workplace environment; an environment that is often synonymous with psychological demands, stress, long hours, overwork and shortages of staff or other essential resources. An essential guide for occupational psychologists, human resource specialists, risk managers and for researchers in this field.
