Overcoming

Lessons in Triumphing over Adversity and the Power of Our Common Humanity

By: Dr. Augustus White III,Jon Land,David Chanoff

The coronavirus COVID-19 has changed our lives forever, confronting us with an adversity like none we have known in our lifetimes. How do we cope? Where can we find the resilience to overcome the changes forced upon us? What might our future look like? The answers lie in Overcoming and the lessons we can learn from everyday heroes who found the strength to persevere through life crises that threatened to overwhelm them, just as we feel overwhelmed today. Groundbreaking physician Dr. Augustus White III, no stranger to adversity himself, has fashioned an essential manual on not only surviving in a post-coronavirus world, but even thriving in it, as those in this book have. • Like Herman Williams, a doctor on the verge of realizing his dream only to see it dashed forever, forcing him to find a new and greater one. • Or Dr. Ann Hagan Webb, a victim of sexual abuse as a young girl who now counsels other victims, both young and old. • Or Josh Perry, born with Down syndrome, who didn’t let that stop him from becoming a professional Hollywood actor. • Or Krystal Cantu, who overcame the devastating loss of an arm in an accident to pursue a career in fitness and physical training. • Or Mangok Bol, one of the Lost Boys of Sudan who survived and built a new life for himself in the United States. • Or Heather Marini, who turned a blind eye to stereotypes in becoming the only woman serving as a position coach in Division 1 college football. These stories and more will inspire you, providing hope that no matter how bleak and dark things seem, the light is always shining somewhere close by. Overcoming will teach all of us how to find it.

The Politics of Social Ties

Immigrants in an Ethnic Homeland

By: Dr Mila Dragojević

After forced migration to a country where immigrants form an ethnic majority, why do some individuals support exclusivist and nationalist political parties while others do not? Based on extensive interviews and an original survey of 1200 local Serbs and ethnic Serbian refugees fleeing violent conflict in Bosnia and Croatia, this book adds the dimension of ethnic identity to the analysis of individual political behaviour, without treating ethnic groups as homogeneous social categories. It adds valuable insight to the existing literature on political behaviour by emphasizing the role of social ties among individuals.

LEADERSHIP

FIND YOUR WAY TO LEAD

By: Dr. Makarand Upadhyaya,Dr. Nishi Tyagi

Leaders in every field are making the world a better place to live. People with strong faith in themselves have the ability to make the change. Even though there are 18 types of leadership behaviours, every leader has a core aim to complete their vision. The leadership style of a person depends on the field of work, followers, circumstances, and, of course, the changing world. Technology, lifestyle, and needs of the world drastically change every year. Hence, the path towards the goal might also upgrade. Staying productive and positive in a changing environment should be your mission to be a good leader. Half of the 18 leadership styles swing towards people-oriented characteristics and the remaining half has process-oriented traits. While some leaders prefer to be open and inviting, the other leaders believe in dedicated rules. It depends on you and how you want to make changes in the world. Find your leadership style, learn new things, and make your ideas worth sharing with the world. Stories of 18 popular leaders in this book make one thing certain, you can teach yourself to be a leader. To go somewhere, you have to start first. The world needs more amazing leaders. Leaders can even make impossible things happen with their charm and focus. The world also needs more followers. Followers work hard to prove themselves. Some of these followers develop the potential to become a future leader. You could be the new leader, but first, you have to have a strong mission, vision, and trust in your abilities. Leaders and followers together are the backbone of the developing world.

John Lyall

A Life in Football

By: Dr. Phil Stevens

Legendary West Ham manager John Lyall, who sadly died in 2006, is remembered with affection as one of the all-time great football managers by former colleagues and football fans alike. Lyall was widely regarded as man of great integrity and is credited with laying down the foundations of the footballing beliefs and values of today's West Ham United. This new in-depth biography documents Lyall's football career from West Ham groundstaff boy in 1955, through his playing debut, injury, and eventual steps into coaching and management under the watchful eye of Ron Greenwood. A much-loved and respected figure at Upton Park, Lyall had a lasting influence on the club’s development and the team’s style of play and during his time in charge, West Ham twice won the FA Cup. Later, when Lyall took over at Ipswich Town, he led the club to promotion to the inaugural Premier League in 1991/92. John Lyall – A Life in Football pays tribute to one of the most influential footballer managers of recent years and is a lasting legacy to a true gentleman and champion of the beautiful game.

The Marriage Corporation

Corporate Strategies for Fulfilling God’s Purpose in a Covenant Marriage

By: Dr. Richard Serrano,Dr. Nephetina Serrano

In the beginning, God established an order and a structure, thereby laying down the foundation for the social unity of all mankind. He achieved this with the family structure.A marriage that suffers lack of structure will encounter problems in the long run. Therefore, for a family unit to function properly there is a compelling need for house policies. THE MARRIAGE CORPORATION seeks to give guidance on the establishment of a coherent family structure. It also highlights the organizational needs of a covenant marriage. These objectives of the book are predicated on the fact that a family unit requires some form of administrative structure for it to function effectively, efficiently and properly, the way God intended. Like a corporation, every marriage should have a Chairman of the Board (God); a President (Husband) and Vice President (Wife). This book will teach that some positions are held by default. If there is no one with the requisite skill for a particular task within the home, you might need to contract it out. Whether you are single, engaged, a newlywed, veteran couple, a pastor, ministry leader or a lay person; you will find this book of tremendous utilitarian value. What qualifications do you possess to contribute to the corporate success of your marriage? This book is intended to be a road map of sorts to help you establish structure and enduring order in your home and marriage.

TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY'S FUEL SUFFICIENCY ROADMAP

By: STEVE ESOMBA, Dr.

We badly need new sources of clean energy to generate electricity, heat and power our industries, homes and workplaces. Up to now, we have relied on and used only fossil fuels to power our industrial and domestic activities. The byproducts of fossil fuels include: irreversible pollution and contamination of our Earth, climate change, global warming, and increase in pathogenic and medication-resistant diseases. Exhaustible fossil fuels are expensive to produce and distribute, and not everybody can afford them. Why not switch to natural, non-polluting, inexpensive, inexhaustible fuels such as solar, wind, water, etc., fuels? This is the timely message contained in TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY'S FUEL SUFFICIENCY ROADMAP. You can make this message realisable. Go on reading! Thanks.

The Genome Odyssey

Medical Mysteries and the Incredible Quest to Solve Them

By: Dr. Euan Angus Ashley

In The Genome Odyssey, Dr. Euan Ashley, Stanford professor of medicine and genetics, brings the breakthroughs of precision medicine to vivid life through the real diagnostic journeys of his patients and the tireless efforts of his fellow doctors and scientists as they hunt to prevent, predict, and beat disease. Since the Human Genome Project was completed in 2003, the price of genome sequencing has dropped at a staggering rate. It’s as if the price of a Ferrari went from $350,000 to a mere forty cents. Through breakthroughs made by Dr. Ashley’s team at Stanford and other dedicated groups around the world, analyzing the human genome has decreased from a heroic multibillion dollar effort to a single clinical test costing less than $1,000. For the first time we have within our grasp the ability to predict our genetic future, to diagnose and prevent disease before it begins, and to decode what it really means to be human. In The Genome Odyssey, Dr. Ashley details the medicine behind genome sequencing with clarity and accessibility. More than that, with passion for his subject and compassion for his patients, he introduces readers to the dynamic group of researchers and doctor detectives who hunt for answers, and to the pioneering patients who open up their lives to the medical community during their search for diagnoses and cures. He describes how he led the team that was the first to analyze and interpret a complete human genome, how they broke genome speed records to diagnose and treat a newborn baby girl whose heart stopped five times on the first day of her life, and how they found a boy with tumors growing inside his heart and traced the cause to a missing piece of his genome. These patients inspire Dr. Ashley and his team as they work to expand the boundaries of our medical capabilities and to envision a future where genome sequencing is available for all, where medicine can be tailored to treat specific diseases and to decode pathogens like viruses at the genomic level, and where our medical system as we know it has been completely revolutionized.

Make Yourself Clear

How to Use a Teaching Mindset to Listen, Understand, Explain Everything, and Be Understood

By: Dr. Reshan Richards,Stephen J. Valentine

How can you communicate effectively and create meaningful interactions in an increasingly digital world? By teaching. In Make Yourself Clear, educational experts and entrepreneurs Reshan Richards and Stephen J. Valentine explain the many parallels between teaching and business and offer companies, both large and small, concrete advice for building the teaching capacity of their salespeople, leaders, service professionals, and trainers. The rise of digital communications has led to three emergent, often problematic, forces: automation, an increase in the speed and volume of information transfer, and an unmet need for people to feel more than satisfied in their interpersonal transactions, particularly between sellers and consumers. Through a mix of research, anecdotes, case studies, and theoretical speculation, this book equips readers to build understanding within their current and future audiences by leveraging the tools, methods, and mindsets used by successful teachers. You will be equipped to understand others better, and in turn, to be better understood. Make Yourself Clear is not prescriptive, nor does it suggest rigid steps, pillars, or frameworks. Instead, it provides immediately recognizable and relatable context, suggesting actions that can be tried, measured, tested, and iterated upon in any communication context that involves the exchange of information and ideas. Ground your business communications in proven techniques Profit from expert instruction given by those who have helped thousands of readers and workshop students Develop your sales career by applying effective teaching practices to customer and colleague interactions For educators, adopt the latest best practices into your teaching style Backed by thorough research and extensive real-world testing, Make Yourself Clear opens a door to more productive communication and more effective interactions. It offers compelling and relevant insights to longtime fans of the work of Richards and Valentine and newcomers alike, leading to real and lasting benefits.

Thomas Kuhn's 'Linguistic Turn' and the Legacy of Logical Empiricism

Incommensurability, Rationality and the Search for Truth

By: Dr Stefano Gattei

Presenting a critical history of the philosophy of science in the twentieth century, focusing on the transition from logical positivism in its first half to the "new philosophy of science" in its second, Stefano Gattei examines the influence of several key figures, but the main focus of the book are Thomas Kuhn and Karl Popper. Kuhn as the central figure of the new philosophy of science, and Popper as a key philosopher of the time who stands outside both traditions. Gattei makes two important claims about the development of the philosophy of science in the twentieth century; that Kuhn is much closer to positivism than many have supposed, failing to solve the crisis of neopostivism, and that Popper, in responding to the deeper crisis of foundationalism that spans the whole of the Western philosophical tradition, ultimately shows what is untenable in Kuhn's view. Gattei has written a very detailed and fine grained, yet accessible discussion making exceptionally interesting use of archive materials.

Developing a Relational Model of Care for Older People

Creating Environments for Shared Living

By: The Reverend Canon Dr. James Woodward,Jenny Kartupelis

Care of older people is a major issue in the UK, crossing the boundaries between emotion, practical issues and economics. Yet many current concerns, and much conventional planning, are based on outdated assumptions or misunderstandings about the nature of ageing. Woodward and Kartupelis work to shatter these myths to create new and more useful models for our society. Drawing on recent research, the book zeroes in on the nature of interpersonal relationships, their critical effect and the factors which affect their formation. The book has been inspired by the extensive work undertaken by both authors in the field of promoting the spiritual wellbeing of older people in in the UK, and brings together a diversity of expertise to propose a revolutionary new approach based on nurturing particular types of relationship. Stimulating and eminently readable, this key text will play a vital role in reimagining care for the elderly and recognising the full potential of our older population.

This book is not just about project management, it goes much deeper into the topic of project success by prescribing a project success framework. In chapters dedicated to factors such as leadership, teams, communication, information management and risk management, the author shines a light on the key behaviours in which project managers and others engage and how those behaviours predict success or failure. Practising project managers, project board members and sponsors, struggling to manage conflicting stakeholder expectations, complexity and ambiguity, will learn which factors are vital to determining successful outcomes. Finally, having highlighted the particular skills, abilities and attributes identified by the research, Dr Camilleri offers a diagnostic model for assessing an organization's preparedness for undertaking and successfully managing major projects. Project Success provides a valuable contribution to the literature on this subject, and its application delivers practical guidance that will be welcomed by project professionals at all levels.

Governance, Growth and Global Leadership

The Role of the State in Technological Progress, 1750–2000

By: Dr Espen Moe

This book focuses on the role of the state in promoting a country's long-term technological progress and industrial leadership. Throughout history, a nation's rise to dominance has invariably been followed by its fall; the dominant powers of today are not the same ones that controlled the world three hundred years ago. In the same manner, economic dominance has usually been fleeting, as leading nations have routinely been caught up and surpassed by challengers. This study looks at Schumpeterian growth - currently the most important source of economic growth - which credits the ability to use technological progress for the benefit of industrial leadership as the key motor of national development and economic success. Contrasting the experiences of five great powers (Britain, France, Germany, the USA and Japan) during five periods of technological and industrial leadership, from the Industrial Revolution to the beginning of the twenty-first century, the book draws on historical and comparative methods to draw causal inferences about international progress and leadership. It explores various factors that promote or hinder technological advancement and how these can in turn effect national development. It concludes that where states have forged ahead and maintained a lead over their rivals, it is because consensus and cohesion prevented vested interests from growing powerful enough to block structural economic change. By applying economic theory to long-term historical models, this book offers a fascinating perspective on the causes and effects of national growth and industrial leadership. It will be invaluable reading for anyone with an interest in international relations and global economic trends, both modern and historical.

Money Mindset Mentors

The Success Psychology of Wealth Creation

By: Dr. John J. Churchill

Money Mindset Mentors looks at some of the most successful people in history, from Aristotle to Warren Buffett, and expertly maps the high-achievement mindset that brings about success in both business and in life. While this book sits firmly in the non-fiction self-help and business psychology genre, its appeal is universal. It has over twenty success models from business psychology and has a key to success at the end of each chapter. The human brain is the most complicated machine on the planet and is capable of trillions of calculations a second, but we were never given a user’s manual. This book, in a way, is the manual that you need to achieve human excellence. Through the insights gained from a lifetime in clinical medicine and the world of business, Churchill now brings business psychology to your fingertips from the greatest business minds on earth. What makes a great person exceptional? What marks them out in the history of humanity? Churchill has analyzed the success principles of some of the world’s most influential people, including Sir Richard Branson and Abraham Lincoln. Nobody is born great. It is merely a self-belief system that is unshakable. The mentors show us how they did it and the reader can walk in the footsteps of true greatness. This book will provide the reader with a rigorous apprenticeship as you absorb the hidden knowledge that comes from the years of experience of successful mentors. You will learn how to forge past competitors and surpass them in brilliance. This book teaches how to establish paths of excellence from within.

Gendered Perceptions of Florentine Last Supper Frescoes, c. 1350–1490

By: Dr Diana Hiller

The first monograph to appear in English on the Last Supper frescoes in Quattrocento Florence, this study examines the effect of gender on the contextualized perceptions of the male and female religious who viewed the Florentine Last Supper images. Using archival, literary and cultural sources, and by examining a wide range of contexts, Diana Hiller argues that the religious viewers’ perceptions of the refectory frescoes were gendered.

Unleash Your Potential

By: Dr. Darlington I. I. Ndubuike

Unleash Your Potential: Put Any Foot Forward presents a clarion call for us to awaken the gifts within us. Everyone has a gift, and the truth is that if we don't use them, they will be taken away, and we lose the joy of fulfilling God's purpose in our lives. We must learn how to unleash our potential, to put any foot forward through motivation and encouragement. We have been crippled for so long by our circumstances, our fears, our past failures, and mistakes, but now, author Dr. Darlington I. I. Ndubuike encourages us to heed the command of the Lord to move ahead! When God provides us with opportunities, we have to take that first STEP: - Seize the opportunity. - Take action by faith. - Encourage ourselves in the Lord. - Prayerfully follow God's lead. We cannot be intimidated by our circumstances. We must hold our heads up and keep our shoulders high. We must position ourselves to unleash our potential without losing focus, with the understanding that nothing good comes easy. It takes time and effort, but your dream is attainable.

Home in British Working-Class Fiction

By: Dr Nicola Wilson

Home in British Working-Class Fiction offers a fresh take on British working-class writing that turns away from a masculinist, work-based understanding of class in favour of home, gender, domestic labour and the family kitchen. Examining key works by Robert Tressell, Alan Sillitoe, D. H. Lawrence, Buchi Emecheta, Pat Barker, Jeanette Winterson and James Kelman, among many others, Nicola Wilson demonstrates the importance of home's role in the making and expression of class feeling and identity.

Zoobiquity

What Animals Can Teach Us About Being Human

By: Dr. Barbara N. Horowitz,Kathryn Bowers

Engaging science writing that bravely approaches a new frontier in medical science and offers a whole new way of looking at the deep kinship between animals and human beings. Zoobiquity: a species-spanning approach to medicine bringing doctors and veterinarians together to improve the health of all species and their habitats. In the tradition of Temple Grandin, Oliver Sacks, and Neil Shubin, this is a remarkable narrative science book arguing that animal and human commonality can be used to diagnose, treat, and ultimately heal human patients. Through case studies of various species--human and animal kind alike--the authors reveal that a cross-species approach to medicine makes us not only better able to treat psychological and medical conditions but helps us understand our deep connection to other species with whom we share much more than just a planet. This revelatory book reaches across many disciplines--evolution, anthropology, sociology, biology, cutting-edge medicine and zoology--providing fascinating insights into the connection between animals and humans and what animals can teach us about the human body and mind.
