King Cheetah

The Story of the Quest

By: Lena Godsall Bottriell

Klappentext: In the days when cheetahs roamed fom the steppes of Soviet Russia to the southern African Cape, there was an abundance of food, and the great running cats were masters of a domain that spanned the globe. Today that habitat is but a shadow of its former range. The cheetah's retreat has been dramatic. Its old habitat has been increasingly usurped by mankind for urban and agricultural development. More and more driven away from the open grassland of its fomer range towards the edges of woodland and forest, the cheetah must adapt. That we are witnessing just such an environmental adaption evolving in the King Cheetah, is the eloquently argued conclusion reached in this account by Lena Godsall Bottriell of one of the most thoroughly researched and adventurous expiditions to come out of Africa in recent times. In 1978, following 18 months preliminary planning, Lena and her husband Paul Bottriell launched an expedition to southern Africa with the aim of increasing the current field knowledge of the legendary King Cheetah. Fourteen months fieldwork, from Botswana, though war-torn Rhodesia, to a final, unique ballon search in Kruger National Park marked the beginning of a further eight years comprehensive research which while documenting nearly forty specimens, and firmly establishing the existance of King Cheetah in the wild, convincingly argues the case for the legendary striped cheetah of southern Africa, being a new geographic race of cheetah in the process of evolving. King Cheetah, an eminently readable account illustrated with breathtaking photographs, offers a major contribution to natural history.

Editing Emily Dickinson

The Production of an Author

By: Lena Christensen

Editing Emily Dickinson considers the processes through which Dickinson's work has been edited in the twentieth century and how such editorial processes contribute specifically to the production of Emily Dickinson as author. The posthumous editing of her handwritten manuscripts into the conventions of the book and the electronic archive has been informed by editors' assumptions about the literary work; at stake is fundamentally what a Dickinson poem may be, or, rather, how we may approach such an object.

Lily, My Lovely

A tale of forbidden romance against the backdrop of war

By: Lena Kennedy

War doesn't only bring suffering . . . Born in Canning Town, in the heart of London's teeming dockland, red-headed Lily is a true Cockney in her zest for life, her natural humour and her instinct for survival. With the outbreak of World War II, husband George goes off to fight for King and Country and into the close-knit East End community bursts Kasie, a Dutch seaman who quickly falls for Lily's bright curls and ready smile. His romantic ways make Lily go weak at the knees, and although she sticks by her husband, her heart belongs wholly to her flying Dutchman. Torn between his native homeland and his yearning for 'Lily, my lovely', Kasie sweeps in and out of her life throughout the post-war years and the swinging sixties, always on a tide of storms and passion. Only when that tide finally recedes does an older and wiser Lily settle down among her adored grandchildren to fondly remember her adventurous life. **************** What readers are saying about LILY, MY LOVELY 'Oh how I enjoyed this book' - 5 STARS 'A really compelling read' - 5 STARS 'I hated putting the book down' - 5 STARS 'Brilliant book from start to finish' - 5 STARS 'Absolutely fantastic story' - 5 STARS

Cause-related Marketing: The Influence of the Fit Among Partners, Brands and Cause

By: Anna Lena Bischoff

The combination of efforts of Profit-Organizations and Non-Profit-Organizations to benefit from a collaboration has gained increased attention throughout the last couple of years. Events such as the BP oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico, the Enron scandal or the fraudulent participation of investment banks in the most recent financial crisis have fueled the discussion of ethical codes of conduct for corporations, their social responsibility in society and thus their social commitment. The contribution of business entities in social causes made them consider their possibilities to not only act socially responsible, but profitable at the same time. This called marketers to action, designing a new type of marketing, CRM, that would highlight a company's willingness to do good, advance the company's reputable image, enhance customer retention and increase sales.The aim of this study is the presentation of the current state of research on the impact of fit on the success of CRM. A further objective is the systematic elaboration of empirical studies to identify interactions on the fit and draw conclusions about possible effects on the success of CRM campaigns.

Entitled

Discriminating Tastes and the Expansion of the Arts

By: Jennifer C. Lena

An in-depth look at how democratic values have widened the American arts scene, even as it remains elite and cosmopolitan Two centuries ago, wealthy entrepreneurs founded the American cathedrals of culture—museums, theater companies, and symphony orchestras—to mirror European art. But today’s American arts scene has widened to embrace multitudes: photography, design, comics, graffiti, jazz, and many other forms of folk, vernacular, and popular culture. What led to this dramatic expansion? In Entitled, Jennifer Lena shows how organizational transformations in the American art world—amid a shifting political, economic, technological, and social landscape—made such change possible. By chronicling the development of American art from its earliest days to the present, Lena demonstrates that while the American arts may be more open, they are still unequal. She examines key historical moments, such as the creation of the Museum of Primitive Art and the funneling of federal and state subsidies during the New Deal to support the production and display of culture. Charting the efforts to define American genres, styles, creators, and audiences, Lena looks at the ways democratic values helped legitimate folk, vernacular, and commercial art, which was viewed as nonelite. Yet, even as art lovers have acquired an appreciation for more diverse culture, they carefully select and curate works that reflect their cosmopolitan, elite, and moral tastes.

Peacekeeping And The Role Of Russia In Eurasia

By: Lena Jonson,Clive Archer

As the number of peacekeeping efforts conducted internationally under the aegis of military forces increases, thers is more pressure to resolve the dilemma inherent in all peacekeeping activities-how to combine efficiency with legitimacy. This dilemma is particularly acute in the many conflicts that have mushroomed in the Eurasian region following the disintegration of the Soviet state. Given the history of Soviet Russian repression of ethnicnational entities, can Russia-the USSR's primary heir-be relied on to resolve rather than inflame conflicts in the other post-Soviet states and regions? In order to answer this question, the contributors to this timely volume evaluate the factors that guarantee Russia's intervention in its ""near abroad."" They debate whether Russian ""peacekeeping"" is legitimate according to international norms or whether it may be a harbinger of ""neoimperialism."" Finally, they explore the origins and effectiveness of Russia's intervention in four cases of regional conflict and discuss the complexities of broader multilateral involvement.

Stories from Roman History

By: Lena Dalkeith

Long and long ago, it is said, Nimitur, King of Alba, was robbed of his crown, and thrust from his kingdom by his younger brother, Amulius. Now Nimitur had one daughter. Amulius, when he had made himself king, forced this maiden to become a "Vestal", - that is to say, a high priestess, and, as a Vestal, she had to make a vow never to marry. This Amulius did in order to reign in safety, for he was afraid if the daughter of Nimitur were to marry that her children might some day try to win back their rightful inheritance. However, his cunning plan failed: the maiden was loved by the god Mars; she broke her vow, and Romulus and Remus were born.

Intersexualization

The Clinic and the Colony

Intersexualization

The Clinic and the Colony

By: Lena Eckert

Since the 1970s, research into ‘Intersex’ has been a central fascination for feminist theorists seeking to make arguments about how men and women are created as social/gender categories. Intersexualization: The Clinic and the Colony takes the case of Olympic runner Caster Semenya as a starting point to explore the issue of determining sex, and the ways in which intersexuality is a ‘threat’ to the distinction between men/women, homosexuality/heterosexuality and white/black. By focusing on the 1950s and the 40 years after, Eckert shows how what she calls intersexualization began in psycho-medical research at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore and UCLA, and has from there spread into cross-cultural anthropological accounts conducted in Papua New Guinea and the Dominican Republic. With cross-cultural intersexualization having been largely neglected in recent literature on intersex, this timely volume describes how such intersexualization derives from the combination of medicalization and pathologization through two crucial parts. The first part, “The Clinic,” describes historical psycho-medical material engaging with hermaphroditism ranging from Greek Mythology up to today. This is followed by “The Colony,” which analyzes, in several close-readings, cross-cultural anthropological, sexological and psychoanalytical accounts contributing to cross-cultural intersexualization. Enclosing a wide range of inter- and transdisciplinary approaches to heteronormative and dichotomously organized frames of knowledge and organization, this volume is essential reading for upper-undergraduate and post-graduate students within the fields of gender studies, social studies of medicine, anthropology,science and technology studies, cultural studies, sociology, and history of medicine.

International Employer Brand Management

A Multilevel Analysis and Segmentation of Students' Preferences

By: Lena Christiaans

The increasing globalization of business activities forces companies to recruit highly skilled employees all over the world. In order to attract these talents, employers have to differentiate themselves through a unique employer brand, appealing to diverse target audiences. However, in the absence of research on international students' preferences for employer characteristics, it is difficult for multinational companies to decide on a feasible degree of employer brand standardization. Lena Christians investigates the impact of between-country differences, such as in national culture or economic wealth, on students' preferences in relation to individual differences of students within the same country. In combination with a segmentation of the European graduate market, the results provide readers with inside on which elements of the employer value proposition are suitable for standardization in which target groups.

The Last of the Shackdwellers

The Autobiography of Bestselling Author Lena Kennedy

By: Lena Kennedy

The evocative, illuminating autobiography of one of Britain's best-loved novelists. Lena Kennedy was sixty-four before her first novel, MAGGIE, was accepted, and it was among the shackdwelling community of the woods that she began to realise her growing need to express her feelings through writing. THE LAST OF THE SHACKDWELLERS examines the inspirations for each of her novels, such as the bestsellers EVE`S APPLES and LILY, MY LOVELY. Lena also vividly describes the long search for a publisher, her joy at finding success and her road to fame. 'Absolutely fascinating' - 5-STAR reader review

From West Africa to Washington

A President’S Notes of a Metaphorical Journey

By: Lena Hall

Following a rather brutal press conference, African American President of the United States Kwame wonders if he did the right thing in running for office. His opponents had an easy time picking him apart, even though he was new to Washington. They said he spent the taxpayers money in frivolous ways; they said he was overexposed. But he was simply sticking to his election platform. His opponentsand supportersknew who he was when he was elected. Why were they surprised by his actions now that he lived in the White House? That day in his office, Kwame remembers something his mother used to say to him: When you have questions, you must go back to the beginning. So begins Kwames metaphorical journey into the history of his people. It begins back in Africa, where Kwame is sold into slavery and then sent to the Americas. From there, Kwame watches the emancipation of the slaves. He lives through the Civil Rights movement, before finally becoming the president of the United States. In order to make sense of his present, Kwame must look at the past and learn from those who came before. To serve his people, he must transcend time. Filled with friendships, loyalties, and infidelities, A Presidents Notes of a Metaphorical Journey follows Kwame and his friends as they live through their collective history and discover that within this journey lives the history of an entire nation.

Why Group Therapy Works and How to Do It

A Guide for Health and Social Care Professionals

By: Christer Sandahl,Hjördis Nilsson Ahlin,Catharina Asklin-Westerdahl,Mats Björling,Anna Malmquist Saracino,Lena Wennlund,Ulf Åkerström,Ann Örhammar

This book describes how group treatment offers a unique opportunity for group members to learn and to change as they interact with other group members. The group structure presents a social microcosm of relationships that people who seek psychotherapeutic treatment find problematic in their private and public lives. In groups, the participants can observe each other, provide feedback to each other, and practice change strategies. In short, group treatment has a powerful healing and supportive function. Based on the authors’ many years of education and experience in academia, the private and public sectors, specific guidance is offered to group leaders on participation, organization, and communication in group treatment. The authors describe the history and characteristics of group treatment, how to organize a treatment group, the roles and responsibilities of the group leader, methods of group treatment, and typical responses of participants. Given its purpose and methodology, this book takes an original perspective on group treatment aimed ultimately at improving healing processes in healthcare and social care. This book will provide a helpful introduction and guide for a range of professionals who work in primary healthcare, company healthcare, somatic care, psychiatric and social care, and the non-profit sector.

Racism, Sexism, and the Media

Multicultural Issues Into the New Communications Age

By: Clint C Wilson II,Felix Gutierrez,Lena Chao

The Fourth Edition of Racism, Sexism, and the Media examines how different race, ethnic, and gender groups fit into the fabric of America; how the media influence and shape everyone's perception of how they fit; and how the media and advertisers are continuously adapting their communications to effectively reach these groups. The authors explore how the rise of class/group-focused communication, resulting from the convergence of new media technologies and continued demographic segmentation of audiences, has led media outlets and advertisers to see women and people of color as influential key audiences and target markets, as well as a source of stereotypes, which may lead to media insensitivity and may help perpetuate social inequity. The Fourth Edition includes updated content on topics covered in the previous editions, and new material on: women of color, including an integrated assessment of their media experiences; new material on Muslim, Arab, and Asian groups; new technologies; and social media use and their impact
