Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Harvey Sacks s early death in 1975 robbed the social sciences of one of its most original thinkers. Although he published relatively little in his lifetime, his lectures and papers were enormously influential in sociology and sociolinguistics and they played a major role in the development of ethnomethodology and conversation analysis. The recent publication of Sacks s Lectures on Conversation has provided an excellent opportunity for a wide-ranging reassessment of his contribution.In this new book, David Silverman provides a clear introduction to Sack s work and reassesses its value for sociology, linguistics, anthropology and psychology. Using a variety of examples, he explains Sacks s ideas on method, language and talk-in-interaction. He argues that Sacks s work offers a highly original perspective on language and social life and raises fundamental questions for the social sciences - questions which, after more than twenty years, remain vitally important and largely unanswered.Written in a lively and accessible way, this book will be of particular interest to students of sociology, sociolinguistics, social theory and method, but it will also be of interest to students and researchers in anthropology, psychology and related disciplines.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Students of modern theology are familiar with the challenges to Scriptural imagination presented by traditional or contemporary abuses of Scripture: the use of Scripture to legitimate racism and sexism and other offences; the haughty claims of some historical criticism and philosophical hermeneutics to understand Scripture better than it understands itself; and theological conspiracy with these imaginative powers of this world. The best response to such challenges comes as Christians gather around the Word to absorb its consolations and criticisms in their personal and corporate lives as the communion of saints.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - For more than twenty-five years, Peter Vaill has been a leading voice in organizational development. The noted consultant and teacher coined the phrase 'permanent white water' to describe the turbulent conditions of today's corporate world. His 1972 essay, 'Toward a Behavioral Description of High Performing Systems,' was the first contemporary picture of what has come to be called 'organizational excellence.' One of the earliest proponents of spirituality in the workplace, Vaill has consistently broken new ground in defining process wisdom-those critical (and often neglected) competencies that include leadership development, continuous learning, and organizational culture. x09 Picked up and passed along by word of mouth, Vaill's influential ideas have given him an almost cult-like status in the field. Still, many of his insightful and gifted writings have not been widely available, published as they were in trade journals or delivered at professional gatherings. But now, for the first time, Spirited Leading and Learning brings together some of Vaill's best writings for the enjoyment of his fans and for presentation to a wider audience of executives and managers who have been touched by his ideas without ever having read his work. The ten essays gathered here lay out Vaill's preeminent thinking on the most important process issues facing business today. Spirited Leading is a compilation comprised of both classic works and new material including 'Spirituality in the New Age of the Leveraged Buyout,' 'Executive Development as Spiritual Development,' and 'Process Wisdom for a New Age,' which predated Senge's well-known work on systems thinking by five years. Vaill's unique perspective and thoughtful observations are as relevant today as when they were first delivered. Perhaps more so. Because never before have the ideas he offers been more important to the ongoing health of organizations and the vitality of their leadership.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - To maintain the correct balance between patient choice and patient protection, all health care practitioners must draw on their own knowledge and training. Patients often feel they have been badly informed, or have been deprived of the power to make decisions, even though the practitioner was 'acting in the patient's best interests'. This book discusses and evaluates the two main approaches to advocacy: empowering the patients with information, and endorsing their needs by speaking out on their behalf. It is an accessible yet authoritative analysis of the nature of advocacy in the health care professions, and puts forward a research-based model which practitioners can use in their study or in everyday.
