Profitability, Productivity, and Sustainability

Organizational Behavior and Strategic Alignment

By: Dennis N. Onyama

This book presents an in-depth study of how the drive to optimize organizational performance can be significantly improved by investigating the causal relationships between profitability, productivity, and sustainability (PPS). This is presented through an assessment of a triple combined therapy that studies the interplay between Organizational DNA, Strategic Alignments for Value, and their implications for Sustainability. Through this approach, this volume seeks to answer critical mind-searching questions and provide useful guides as to how some firms are able to sustainably create higher value or wealth, especially through corporate entrepreneurship, or via the creation of new business models than others. In tackling the three elements of profitability, productivity, and sustainability, this book also provides greater insight through an in-depth study of the pervasively unresolved and disturbing issues surrounding the prospects of increasing the chances of success for entrepreneurial start-off ventures, making it of value to researchers, academics, and students in the fields of organizational studies, strategy, and sustainability.

Rural Life in the Lowcountry of South Carolina

Rural Life in the Lowcountry of South Carolina

By: Dennis S. Taylor

South Carolina's Lowcountry is awash in history, mystery, and breathtaking beauty and is comprised of roughly 27 counties south and east of the Fall Line, a low, east-facing cliff paralleling the Atlantic coast. Over the past 300 years, farmers and their families, planters, and African Americans-both enslaved and freed-have shaped this area's culture. Through war, peace, poverty, and prosperity, the unique characteristics and customs of the Lowcountry have been woven together and form a rich, enigmatic tapestry distinct from any other.Rural Life in the Lowcountry of South Carolina contains over 200 previously unpublished images depicting life at the grassroots level during the first half of the 20th century. This volume presents a realistic and at times sobering view of everyday people and their struggles to make a living. Exploring such topics as growing crops, making syrup, and raising livestock, this volume also portrays the area's distinct architecture, evident in barns, farmhouses, and church buildings. As the state becomes more industrialized, residents are beginning to forget their agricultural heritage, and many know only the stories of elderly family members. These photographs, coupled with informative text, will bridge the present generations with the past.

Auntie Mame

An Irreverent Escapade

By: Patrick Dennis

With a wit as sharp as a vodka stinger and a heart as free as her spirit, Auntie Mame burst onto the literary scene in 1955--and today remains one of the most unforgettable characters in contemporary fiction. Wildly successful when it was first published in 1955, Patrick Dennis’ Auntie Mame sold over two million copies and stayed put on the New York Times bestseller list for 112 weeks. It was made into a play, a Broadway and a Hollywood musical, and a fabulous movie starring Rosalind Russell. Since then, Mame has taken her rightful place in the pantheon of Great and Important People as the world’s most beloved, madcap, devastatingly sophisticated, and glamorous aunt. She is impossible to resist, and this hilarious story of an orphaned ten-year-old boy sent to live with his aunt is as delicious a read in the twenty-first century as it was in the 1950s. Follow the rollicking adventures of this unflappable flapper as seen through the wide eyes of her young, impressionable nephew and discover anew or for the first time why Mame has made the world a more wonderful place. "Outrageous, hilarious, ribald, sophisticated, slapsatiric." The Denver Post

Shakespeare and the Authorship of the Sonnets

An Oxfordian Reading

By: Dennis Hirsch

The persona of Edward de Vere represents a contrast to the canonical, Stratfordian image of Shakespeare. His adulterous affair with a teenage girl half his age, his complicity in acts of treason against Queen Elizabeth, and the bankruptcy of his earldom due to his lavish spending all combine to paint a picture of a man contrary to the Stratfordian ideal. However, it is this unattractive portrayal of him that supports the argument that de Vere wrote the sonnets, since the sonnets themselves offer up underlying messages of ridicule, deception, avarice, and sexual obsession that doggedly champion the author's own best interests above others. This work presents an Oxfordian reading of the sonnets and the problematic life of Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford.

For Better or Verse

Rhymes Without Reason

By: Dennis Glaser

For Better or Verse

Rhymes Without Reason

By: Dennis Glaser

Rhymes Without Reason: For Better or Verse is a collection of poetry compiled from a lifelong habit of scribbling down rhymes without a reasonexcept to preserve an emotion, or retain a memory, or expose the funny side of life, love, and all that stuff. Dennis Glaser has also authored a memoirA Geezers Guide to the Universeand a journal of his travels in EuropeSeeing Europe as a Traveler; not a Touristboth published by Xlibris. And he has two more books in processa collection of original short stories and his memories of his years in Nashvilles music scene. But it is his poetry that has always been his emotional escape valve. He first began giving into his inner urge to write poetry when he encountered the songs of Kris Kristofferson. He was in the audience at the Ryman Theatre the night Kris won the Country Music Associations songwriter of the year award. And the next night, he was part of a small audience who saw Kris and his Band of Thieves perform in a tent show on the plaza of Nashvilles Municipal Auditorium. I never met the man, Glaser recalls. But I did meet many of the friends hed left behind when he left Nashville for Hollywood and a movie career. And, he added, I had the beer license for the Music City Row beer bar, Kountry Korner, which was the scene for Kristoffersons song, Talley Ho Tavern, and where Kris once tended bar. My next poetic influence was the late Shel Silverstein, who was hanging out at the Glaser Sound Studios (owned by my cousins, Tompall, Chuck and Jim Glaser). Shel was not only a poet, a cartoonist, playwright, screen writer and author of three best-selling childrens bookshe also was of course a prolific songwriter. For example: A Boy Named Sue (Johnny Cash), Put Another Log on the Fire (Tompall), nearly all of the Dr. Hook catalog (The Cover of Rolling Stone, Sylvias Mother), several albums sung by Bobby Bare (Rosalies Good Eats Caf, The Winner). Shel recorded several comedy songs which were popular on the Dr. Demento radio show. Theres much morein fact, his biography on Wikipedia covers 10 pages. Suffice to say that merely being around the guy inspired anyone with any talent at all to begin putting his words on paper, or his music on tape. This quote captures something of Shels view of the creative process: I want to be articulate, to communicate but in my own way. People who say they create only for themselves and dont care if they are published . . . I hate to hear talk like that. If its good, its too good not to share . . . His website is well worth a visit: http://shelsilverstein.com/indexSite.html: So thats the story behind this book. I hope youll read itand if you are a poet, I hope you continue to create your verse. Certainly, there are worse things you could do with your time!

Murder of a Herkimer County Teacher

The Shocking 1914 Case of a Vengeful Student

By: Dennis Webster

“The true case of Lydia ‘Lida’ Beecher, a school teacher, being killed by one of her former students . . . The book flows seamlessly” (Observer Dispatch). In 1914, Poland, New York, was a picturesque slice of small-town America. But that innocence was shattered with the shocking murder of beloved schoolteacher Lida Beecher at the hands of her former student Jean Gianini. At twenty-one years old, Lida wasn't much older than her students. The son of a successful furniture dealer, Jean had all the advantages in life, but he had been labeled as different by all who encountered him. The shocking murder brought the world’s best alienists to the packed Herkimer County Courthouse to try to prove that the teenager’s mental development precluded his guilt. Author Dennis Webster utilizes unprecedented access to court documents to reveal details of the sensational crime never before made known to the public. Includes photos!

Studies in the Pentateuch: Leviticus

By: Dennis Dinger

The book of Leviticus contains the Lord's rules for sacrifices and offerings and for operation of the Tabernacle. The Lord gave these instructions to Moses when they met on mount Sinai. Moses pass all details along to the children of Israel. Leviticus contains a clear statement of the Lord's intentions towards the children of Israel. He considered them to be His people! He wanted to dwell among them, to care for them, and to be their God. In return, He wanted them to be His people, to accept His provisions, to obey Him, and to worship Him. The book of Leviticus is often difficult to understand - but that is because it contains great and wonderful, prophetic symbolism! . . . which is of extreme value to all mankind!

Plant Scents That Transcend World Culture, Medicine, and Spirituality

By: Dennis J Mckenna,Kerry Hughes

Make a spiritual connection to nature with real, raw, natural incense The Incense Bible is a comprehensive guide to the spiritual meaning of real, raw, natural incense and how to use it in prayer, meditation, or simply in creating a home environment to “reconnect” with divinity and nature. This unique book examines the spiritual and ritual uses of “pure” incense (not sticks, cones, or synthetic mixtures), explores our attraction to it, and explains how we can use it at home to increase wellness. Filled with easy-to-use references and easy-to-understand technical information, the book also looks at the use of incense in health and medicine, a history of its use in a variety of countries and cultures, and various types of raw incense, including eucalyptus, sandalwood, sweet grass, agarwood, frankincense, and myrrh. The Incense Bible examines aspects of spirituality and religion, health and medicine, botanical medicines, ethnobotany, and history of real incense—not the low-quality, processed, synthetic fragrances most people think of as “incense.” This enlightening and entertaining book, written in everyday language and filled with photgraphs, examines why incense appeals to our sense of smell, of adventure, and of spiritual and physical well-being—and has for centuries. The book looks at the use of incense for purifications and cleansings, creative inspiration, meditation, worship and prayer, for inducing dreams and sleep, to improve learning and problem solving, and as a perfume for clothes, hair, and body. Topics examined in The Incense Bible include: types of raw incense, including balsam, cedar, mugwort and moxa, and white sage safety how the sense of smell works the link between taste and scent scent and memory allergies and sensitivities oils and flower essences for healing how to make incense incense materials and symbols the use of incense in Egyptian, Greek, and Roman times, in Buddhism and Shamanism, in Israel, in the Catholic Church, in Native American sweat lodges, and in the African rainforest and much more!

Homeless in High School

By: Dennis S. Caroll

Frightened by the fighting in their families, two teenage lovers realize in Homeless in High School that theyre treated better by each others parents. Hoping for improvement, Marshall and Melissa switch their houses but discover further quarrels and disintegrating marriages. Backed into a corner, they mature in a hurry when they turn into the grown-ups raising their adopted parents. Hard-headed and precocious but believable, they become the models of maturity that they cant find at home, in many famous adolescent novels, and in cultural struggles over teenage abstinence or promiscuity. Theyre befriended by a wise, irreverent English teacher, who admires in them what he has never witnessed in the so-called classics that hes taught for decades. Writing their own Declaration of Independence, they confront demoralizing marriages and restore their families. They become relentless, laying down conditions for returning home, including mandatory counseling and an end to terrifying quarrels. Showing empathy and ingenuity, they offer an example of maturity not only for their foster parents but also for teenagers. Homeless in High School is a cross between a novel and a screen play. It has the readability of a well-written novel but the energy of a first-rate film in 80 swiftly moving scenes. The reader will be hooked immediately as Marshall and Melissa switch their homes and find their foster parents totally bewildered to discover that theyve been adopted by each others children!

Kodah of the Bear People

By: Dennis Thome

Orphaned as an infant, Kodah had to grow up fast in his small village, working hard and doing his best to be of use to his godmother. He doesn’t realize how much he still has to learn and grow, until a cryptic message comes from his uncle, a sea captain. Dark magic turns warm summer breezes into the darkest winter night. Without warning, Kodah finds his life turned upside down as he embarks on a journey to save his people. Elvin magic, murder, pirates, a four-hundred-year-old wizard, body theft, romance ... the quest he faces would be a lot for even a seasoned adventurer to handle, but for young Kodah, it means the beginning of an entirely new life―one that will change him almost as much as the discovery that he might not be an orphan after all.

Pests of Crops in Warmer Climates and Their Control

By: Dennis S. Hill

This is a textbook providing basic data about the crop pests and the damage they inflict throughout the tropics and sub-tropics. Each major pest is illustrated by either a line drawing or a photograph, and sometimes the damage can also be seen. A world distribution map is provided for each species. Control measures tend to be general rather than very specific. Most of the pests are insects and mites, but some nematodes, molluscs, birds and mammals are included.

Once Upon an Autumn Eve

By: Dennis L. McKiernan

The national bestselling author of the beloved Mithgar fantasies, Dennis L. McKiernan continues his enchanting seasonal fairytale cycle with a spellbinding story of love and legend. Once upon an autumn eve, a wounded knight named Sieur Luc rides into the Autumnwood—and into the heart of Liaze, Princess of that demesne. Liaze soon discovers that Sieur Luc is not an ordinary knight, but a man with a secret past—a past not even he knows, filled with enemies he does not suspect and allies he has not seen. And even as love blooms between Luc and Liaze, dark forces snatch him away. The Fates themselves intervene—but the Fates are bound by rules of their own, and can only give guidance in riddles and spoken enigmas. Even so, alone and grimly determined, Liaze sets out on a desperate quest to follow the trail of her true love. But no tracks whatsoever mark the way, and for guidance, she has only arcane words and the way of her heart. “Dennis L. McKiernan always manages to enchant his readers with his fabulous fantasy novels . . . Readers will not be disappointed with this beautiful adult fairy tale.”—Midwest Book Review

Studies of Paul's Letters to the Corinthians

Studies of Paul's Letters to the Corinthians

By: Dennis Dinger

The two letters from Paul to the Corinthians address many fundamental issues in a struggling, carnal church. The Corinthian saints needed to hear sound teaching and Paul was the servant God chose to educate them! Paul taught lots of fundamentals in his first letter. In his second, he continued with fundamentals, but he explained more deeply. He described how God's servants think, and how God's people should respond. He also briefly taught about the coming judgments in which all mankind will stand before God to be judged according to their works. Because the Corinthian saints were typical of all believers, the wonderful insights in these two letters are valuable to all God's children!

China and the Birth of Globalization in the 16th Century

By: Dennis O. Flynn,Arturo Giráldez

Including 11 essays published over the last 15 years, this volume by Dennis O. Flynn and Arturo Giráldez concerns the origins and early development of globalization. It opens with their 1995 "Silver Spoon" essay and a theoretical essay published in 2002. Subsequent sections deal with Pacific Ocean exchanges, interconnections between the Spanish, Ottoman, Japanese and Chinese empires, and the necessity of multidisciplinary approaches to global history. The volume follows the evolution of the authors' thinking concerning the central role of China in the global silver trade, as well as interrelations among silver and non-silver markets. Research before 2002 paved the way for development of a coherent 'Birth of Globalization' narrative that portrays economic factors in the context of powerful epidemiological, ecological, demographic, and cultural forces. In the final essay Flynn and Giráldez argue for incorporating the work of all academic disciplines when attempting to understand the history of globalization, advocating an inclusive historical data base which recognizes contextual realities and an inductive process of reasoning.
