Book Description
Everyone knows that you are supposed to “follow your dream.” But where is the road map to help you discover what that dream is? You have just found it. In Springboard, award-winning author and teacher G. Richard Shell helps you find your future. His advice: Take an honest look inside and then answer two questions: What, for me, is success? How will I achieve it? You will begin by assessing your current beliefs about success, including the hidden influences of family, media, and culture. These are where the pressures to live “someone else’s life” come from. Once you gain perspective on these outside forces, you will be ready to look inside at your unique combination of passions and capabilities. The goal: to focus more on what gives meaning and excitement to your life and less on what you are “supposed” to want. Drawing on his decades of research, Shell offers personalized assessments to help you probe your past, imagine your future, and measure your strengths. He then combines these with the latest scientific insights on everything from self-confidence and happiness to relationships and careers. Throughout, he shares inspiring examples of people who found what they were meant to do by embracing their own true measure of success. Eric Adler: one of Shell’s former students who walked away from a conventional business career to help launch a revolutionary new concept in public education that has placed hundreds of inner-city high school students in top colleges. Kurt Timken: a Harvard-educated son of a Fortune 500 CEO who found his true calling as a hard-charging police officer fighting drug lords in southern California. Cynthia Stafford: an office worker who became one of her community’s leading promoters of theater and the arts. Get ready for the journey of a lifetime—one that will help you reevaluate your future and envision success on your own terms. Students and executives say that Richard Shell’s courses have changed their lives. Let this book change yours.
Textual Power

Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
"Robert Scholes has written an enviable book on the uses and abuses of literary theory in the teaching of literature. One of [his] most forceful points...is that 'literary theory' is not something a teacher may either 'use' or not use, for teaching itself is an unavoidably theoretical activity."--Gerald Graff, Novel "Scholes' emphasis in Textual Power is indicated by the book's subtitle. After a provocative analysis of disciplinary values and departmental tendencies...[he] proposes that 'we must stop "teaching literature" and start studying texts'...His book is essential for college libraries."--R.C. Gebhardt, Choice "There is no issue more current, more relevant to the present scene, than the problem of pedagogy and its relation to contemporary theory. Textual Power is an important, provocative, and above all useful contribution to this discussion."--Gregory L. Ulmer Robert Scholes, author of Structuralism in Literature and Semiotics and Interpretation among other books, is Alumni-Alumnae University Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Brown University.

Pages : 158
Book Description
If you are looking for the perfect employee, Nadine Vogel urges you to consider people with disabilities, parents of children with special needs, and older workers⿿the people she includes in the special needs workforce. In her opening chapter, Vogel cites these facts: * People with disabilities are more likely to stay with an employer than their non-disabled counterparts. Older workers also have reduced turnover rates. * People with disabilities consistently meet or exceed job performance and productivity expectations. * People with disabilities have a well-deserved reputation (backed up by research) for innovation. Accustomed to adapting to a variety of situations, they are often quick to troubleshoot, formulate new ideas, and adopt cutting-edge solutions. * Absentee rates are lower for people with disabilities and for older workers, compared with "typical employees." With the beginning of the retirement years for baby boomers and smaller cohorts following them, the available labor pool in the United States is diminishing. But even if the current economic situation means that more people stay in their jobs longer, Vogel points out that older workers are often dealing with some sort of disability and may need some extra support from their employers. In this readable book, Vogel takes you through what you need to know to make the most of this creative workforce and includes a directory of resources as well as interviews with executives from today's leading corporations showing best practices in the critical areas of dealing with disability in the workplace.

Pages : 294
Book Description
A clear and compelling account of the brutal battle of Kohima that swung the balance of the Burma Campaign in World War Two. An ideal book for readers of Max Hastings, Anthony Beevor and Jonathan Dimbleby. 'Sieges have been longer but few have been more intense and in none have the defenders deserved greater honour than the garrison of Kohima.' Field Marshal the Viscount Slim 'The valiant defence of Kohima against enormous odds was a fine episode.' Winston Churchill For a fortnight in April 1944 Lieutenant-General Sato threw nearly the whole force of his division towards the Kohima Ridge. Against them stood a tiny force of one thousand five hundred British and Indian troops. How were these Allied forces able to hold back the attack from over ten thousand Japanese soldiers? And what happened over the course of these long and bloody weeks? C. E. Lucas Phillip's book uncovers not only the personal experiences of the men who fought in this battle but also the political, geographical and military position of the Burma campaign, leading up to and following the siege. 'A beau geste story of staggering courage and fortitude - of a scratch force facing and defeating a whole Japanese division in a battle for a narrow strip of mountainous ground barely a mile long. When the Siege of Kohima was raised the gaunt and ragged garrison of 1,500 had suffered 600 casualties... a vivid, thrilling account of a battle that was truly a springboard to victory.' Yorkshire Post 'C. E. Lucas Phillips has a thrilling story to tell, and no one could fail to respond to it.' Punch 'A lucid, exciting account, blow-by-blow, agony by agony; illuminated by shining courage.' Irish Times Springboard to Victory: The Burma Campaign and the Battle for Kohima is a thorough study of one of the most brutal conflicts of the Burma campaign during World War Two. It should be essential reading for anyone interested in history of the war in the Pacific.

Book Description
NephroShotz is a new series of Renal Medicine titles created with the ambition of providing a dedicated and comprehensive learning tool for the MRCP's Renal Specialty Certificate exam (recently rebranded as the European Specialty Examination in Nephrology, ESENeph). Each book or ‘shot’ will cover a cluster of related topics amounting to a ‘manageable chunk’ of the renal curriculum, with information presented in a logical yet engaging and conversational style. Each chapter is built around an MRCP-style best-of-five problem, with detailed answers and explanations wrapped around the text, helping to integrate and consolidate knowledge. The book's focus is unashamedly maintained on drawing together key mechanisms of disease, pivotal clinical trials and contemporary consensus guidelines to provide 'high-yield' knowledge which is both 'testable' by the exam and informs high quality day-to-day nephrology practice. Topics covered in Book 4 include: - Metabolic acidosis work-up – High anion gap metabolic acidoses (HAGMA) - Renal tubular acidoses - Metabolic alkalosis work-up – Hereditary tubulopathies – Hyponatraemia work-up and management – Disorders of water handling – Hypokalaemia work-up.
