Executive Diplomacy and the Art of Strategic Negotiations

By: Marc Burbridge

Executive Diplomacy and the Art of Strategic Negotiations By: Marc Burbridge What does it take for a manager or executive to be something more than just another in the myriad of those who make up corporate leadership, or for a corporate culture to be more than just one more “follow-me”? This book provides a new, fresh look at how things can be, and it does so by simple taking a few lessons from the ancient art of diplomacy and applying them to the Executive Diplomat and a corporate culture described as Executive Diplomacy. Typically, corporate executives are taught and encouraged to be assertive, bordering on aggressive, and so they often are. They do so without realizing that one can easily be assertive while failing to be effective. In the same manner, they celebrate the signing of a contract while ignoring that the objective is not the signing of the contract, but rather its effective implementation. Often their bonus blinds them from the value of a more diplomatic approach, a more lucrative one. We invite the reader to step beyond yesterday and explore something new and innovative where empowered executive alignment opens the pathway to a more meaningful corporate culture and better results in high-value, strategic negotiations in the new reality. We suggest you start with the Preface of this book, or by visiting www.executivediplomacy.org.

Richard Wagner and the Anti-Semitic Imagination

Richard Wagner and the Anti-Semitic Imagination

By: Marc A. Weiner

This book addresses one of the most hotly contested debates in contemporary cultural life: the question of how anti-Semitism figures in the operas of Richard Wagner. Until now, scholars have generally acknowledged Wagner's anti-Semitism but have argued that it is irrelevant to the operas themselves. Marc A. Weiner challenges that traditional view by asserting that anti-Semitism is a crucial, pervasive feature in Wagner's operas. Weiner argues that the operas exemplify and contribute to a vast collection of images that are patently anti-Semitic - and that were readily recognized as such by nineteenth-century German audiences. These images were associated particularly with the body. Through a careful examination of Wagner's music, libretti, and stage directions, Weiner reconstructs iconographies of corporeal images - iconographies of the eye, voice, smell, gait, and sexuality - that were essential to the operas and were "associated with anti-Semitism and the longing for an imagined German community".

Wanderlust

Based on the True-Life Journals of Sydney Taylor

By: Marc Cardinal

Meet Sydney Taylor who is born with what I call Wanderlust, which is the impulse to wander or, as they say in modern times, a strong desire to travel and explore the world. From his birth in Greater London in a town called Leytonstone, England in 1887, follow his life as he runs away at a young age of fifteen to Canada. See and learn what he experiences as he starts his life-long work with the world's largest and oldest company, the Hudson Bay Company, which explored Canada and parts of the United States of America. See him as he travels across Canada, where he begins working in the wild, rough environment of the early 1900s trading with the Native Americans in outposts across northern Ontario. The story is based on the true-life journals of Sydney Taylor but the story is expounded on in such a fashionas to learn in detailabout the history and thegeography of everything he came into contact with. OfSydney Taylor, you can see from the beginning of the book that his life must have fashioned him into a person who would continually move to new places and,as such, hedeveloped a taste for travel or, as I call it, Wanderlust.

Limiting Arbitrary Power

The Vagueness Doctrine in Canadian Constitutional Law

By: Marc Ribeiro

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Limiting Arbitrary Power

The Vagueness Doctrine in Canadian Constitutional Law

By: Marc Ribeiro

Under the emerging void-for-vagueness doctrine, a law lacking precision can be declared invalid. In this, the first book published on the subject, Marc Ribeiro offers a balanced analysis of this doctrine and its application in the context of the Canadian constitution. Taking as its starting point a cogent analysis of the fundamental concepts of "legality" and the "rule of law," Limiting Arbitrary Power undertakes a specific study of the contents of the vagueness doctrine. Dr. Ribeiro presents an in-depth exploration of the courts' current approach, and suggests how it may be refined in the future. In that regard, he proposes techniques for legislative drafting in which certainty could be enhanced without compromising the flexibility required in law. Acknowledging that to date, the doctrine has yet to be granted an autonomous status for invalidating legislation, he also examines in detail the possible situations in which vagueness may become applicable under the Charter. An important addition to Canadian law libraries, Limiting Arbitrary Power will be eagerly received by legal professionals, legislators, and scholars of constitutional law and legal theory.

After examining a slew of guidebooks to Australia, this was my clear favorite, the one that's torn and underlined; pages folded back; in other words the one I really used.
