Catherine & Diderot

The Empress, the Philosopher, and the Fate of the Enlightenment

By: Robert Zaretsky

A dual biography crafted around the famous encounter between the French philosopher who wrote about power and the Russian empress who wielded it with great aplomb. In October 1773, after a grueling trek from Paris, the aged and ailing Denis Diderot stumbled from a carriage in wintery St. Petersburg. The century’s most subversive thinker, Diderot arrived as the guest of its most ambitious and admired ruler, Empress Catherine of Russia. What followed was unprecedented: more than forty private meetings, stretching over nearly four months, between these two extraordinary figures. Diderot had come from Paris in order to guide—or so he thought—the woman who had become the continent’s last great hope for an enlightened ruler. But as it soon became clear, Catherine had a very different understanding not just of her role but of his as well. Philosophers, she claimed, had the luxury of writing on unfeeling paper. Rulers had the task of writing on human skin, sensitive to the slightest touch. Diderot and Catherine’s series of meetings, held in her private chambers at the Hermitage, captured the imagination of their contemporaries. While heads of state like Frederick of Prussia feared the consequences of these conversations, intellectuals like Voltaire hoped they would further the goals of the Enlightenment. In Catherine & Diderot, Robert Zaretsky traces the lives of these two remarkable figures, inviting us to reflect on the fraught relationship between politics and philosophy, and between a man of thought and a woman of action.

A Lifelong Call to Learn

Continuing Education for Religious Leaders

By: Robert E. Reber,D. Bruce Roberts

A Lifelong Call to Learn is aimed at directors of lifelong learning and continuing education that serve both clergy and laity in Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish seminaries and conference and retreat centers. While proposing new approaches in continuing theological education, it also addresses the need for programs that involve both clergy and laity at the congregational level and that support ongoing interreligious dialogue in our increasingly pluralistic society. The contributors to this book include seasoned practitioners as well as teachers and scholars in seminaries and universities from every part of the country in both denominational and ecumenical settings. The chapters explore historical perspective and educational contexts; theory and research in professional continuing education; innovations in continuing theological education; development, management, and promotion of programs; and directions and resources for the future. Particularly in this time of foment in theological education, when institutional leaders are striving to develop new models for the basic master of divinity degree, this collection will be of keen interest to theological educators in every setting.

Palestra Pandemonium

A History of the Big 5

By: Robert S. Lyons

The most famous basketball tournament in the history of college basketball is the Big Five. And the Big Five was played in the most hallowed halls of college play: the Palestra. Now, for the first time, a complete story of this Philadelphia rivalry is revealed. Robert Lyons offers the story of the Big Five from its very beginnings in 1955. At that time, many of the Big Five schools—La Salle University, University of Pennsylvania, St. Joseph's University, Temple University and Villanova University—weren't even talking to each other, and everyone predicted the tournament would end before it began. Conducting interviews with coaches and players—including famed Temple coach Harry Litwack's last interview before his death—Lyons offers the play-by-play on the how the Big Five became an institution, and how it was ultimately undone by college basketball's own success. Lavishly illustrated with photographs of players, teams, coaches, and the Palestra itself,Palestra Pandemoniumis an immediate classic, offering a chronicle of the most monumental college basketball tournament. Anywhere. Author note: For over thirty years,Robert S. Lyonshas covered professional and college sports for the Associated Press. The former director of the La Salle University News Bureau, editor ofLa Salle, the university's alumni magazine, and instructor of journalism, advertising, and public relations at La Salle, he is now president of RSL Communications. He lives in the Philadelphia area.

Propaganda, Censorship and Irish Neutrality in the Second World War

By: Robert Cole

Allied propaganda and Eire censorship were a vital part of the conflict over Irish neutrality in the Second World War. Based upon original research in archives in Ireland, Great Britain, the United States and Canada, this study opens a new page in the history of wartime propaganda and censorship. It examines the channels of propaganda , including the press and other print media, broadcasting and film, employed in Eire and the agencies which operated them, and the structure and operations of the Eire censorship bureau which sought to repress them . It also looks at the role played by Irish-Americans in the conflict, some of whom supported, while others opposed, Irish neutrality. Which side could win this "e;war of words"e;? Could British and American propaganda overcome Eire neutrality, or would re censorship guarantee that it could not? In this detailed and wide-ranging examination of the "e;war of words"e; over Eire neutrality, the author addresses such subjects as public opinion, government policies, propaganda planning, objectives, content and channels of dissemination, and the purpose and tactics of censorship.

Post-Ghetto

By: Josh Sides,Andrea Asuma,Robert Gottlieb,Edna Bonacich

Is South Los Angeles on the mend? How is it combating the blight of crime, gang violence, high unemployment, and dire poverty? In provocative essays, the contributing authors to "Post-Ghetto" address these questions by pointing out robust signs of hope for the area's residents--an increase in corporate retail investment, a decrease in homicides, a proliferation of nonprofit service providers, a paradigm shift in violence- and gang-prevention programs, and progress toward a strengthened, more racially integrated labor movement. By charting the connections between public policy and the health of a community, the authors offer innovative ideas and visionary strategies for further urban renewal and remediation. Contributors: Jake Alimahomed-Wilson, Andrea Azuma, Edna Bonacich, Robert Gottlieb, Karen M. Hennigan, Jorge N. Leal, Jill Leovy, Cheryl Maxson, Scott Saul, David C. Sloane, Mark Vallianatos, Danny Widener, Natale Zappia

Business

By: William M. Pride,Robert James Hughes,Jack R. Kapoor

The Eighth Edition of this bestselling introductory text features a comprehensive, updated survey of all key business functions: management, marketing, accounting, finance, and information technology. Core topics highlighted within these functional areas include ethics and social responsibility, small business concerns, different forms of business ownership, and international business concepts. In light of current business conditions, this edition also addresses the nation\'s economic problems, corporate credibility and efforts to improve accounting standards, the dot-com meltdown, entrepreneurial businesses, diversity, globalization, e-business, and other timely issues. Likewise, the authors have integrated more information on employment trends to help students choose a career and compete in a fickle job market. Updated and enhanced coverage of e-Business--in boxed features, examples, illustrations, and discussions throughout the text--reflects this sector\'s growing importance. In addition, Navigating the World of E-Business (Chapter 4) has been completely revamped to cover key concepts, as well as the strategies and challenges facing current businesses. Pedagogical tools have also been revised, including all new Inside Business cases at the beginning of each chapter and closing Return to Inside Business features. These sections follow up on the opening case with additional information, posing questions that stress the practical application of chapter concepts. All boxed features that focus on real business or workplace issues have been replaced. These boxes cover major themes, including Adapting to Change, Talking Technology, Examining Ethics (with Issues to Consider that stimulate critical thinking and facilitate discussion), Going Global, and Exploring Business. Using the Internet boxes continue to point students to relevant web sites for more information on concepts, companies, or issues covered in each chapter--prompting them to conduct independent research. The Eighth Edition also features two new Spotlight features per chapter, illustrating facts with appealing and easy-to-understand visuals that help students to understand the material. Due to its loose-leaf format, this text sells for considerably less than standard hardcover books and also provides students with greater flexibility. They can insert their own notes or class handouts into any chapter, bring only the chapters they need to class, or organize the contents to follow their instructor\'s syllabus. The Study Guide is perforated and three-hole punched so that the materials can be easily integrated with the textbook. New! Building a Business Plan features now appear at the end of every Part, helping students to write their own business plans incrementally over the course of a semester or during class. Chapter 6 also includes revised coverage of business plans. New! Running a Business, an ongoing video case featured at the end of each Part, provides students with an insider\'s vantage point of Finagle-A-Bagel, a bagel bakery and caf. Through this firsthand look at one business\'s day-to-day operations, students gain a better understanding of the real challenges faced by entrepreneurs. Students can also practice applying what they have learned by analyzing the problems, solutions, and actions taken at Finagle-A-Bagel. New! All end-of-chapter videos are new and focus on companies such as Stonyfield Farm, New Belgium Brewing, Subway, Bay Partners, Remington, Wal-Mart, JetBlue, Financial Fusion, and Merrill Lynch Direct. These cases combine with three other video tools--one brief chapter overview and two key concept segments--for a total of 13 to 20 minutes of video per chapter. New! All photos and advertisements are new. As in past editions, captions clarify how these real-world visuals illustrate key concepts under review. New! The Business Bonus Pack: Your

A Sort of Homecoming

By: Robert Cremins

Iremonger has arrived - back in Dublin for Christmas, and centre stage ( he'd have it no other way ) in your imagination. A young man on an anti-mission, he has spent the last six months blowing his revered grandfather's legacy on a 'transcontinental lost weekend'. Armed with hias trusty leather jacket 'Nico' - a virtual second skin - he's intent on having fun and isn't going to let the bully boys of existence ( the past and the future ) push him around. But after a season of excess, it turns out to be the present that finally catches up with him. A novel of 'mad pinters' and priests, Roomkeepers and ravers, 'Semtex' and sensibility, A Sort of Homecoming is as much about the old truths as it is about the new Ireland.

Send in the Devils

By: Robert Cremins

All of Dublin is asking 'What is John Paul Mountain, of all people, doing in Maverick, Texas?' The son of Ireland's first media family, John Paul had been raised to sell nothing but himself. Within a few years of spinning out of Trinity, he had failed to make it as a front man, film-maker and poet-provocateur. But why disappear to a Texan city made up of world-within-a-world shopping malls? Peter Dagg, John Paul's old friend, is charged with the mission to return the prodigal son to the fold. At least in time for Peter's marriage to John Paul's sister, Suzette. However, soon new emissaries from Dublin are on their way ... SEND IN THE DEVILS is an exceptionally entertaining portrait of the heirs apparent to the booming riches of new Ireland - a fast and funny ride through the land of the beautiful and the damned.
