Great Britain: Guild, 1990. Hardback. Makers of Management. Drucker, Porter, Maslow, Sloan, Herzberg....most of us have heard of at least one key management thinker but few of us know exactly who they were or what was their important contribution to management thought. And what do phrases like 'corporate culture', 'lateral thinking' and 'quality circles' mean? Even if we can define them, can we wevaluate such concepts critically and explain the theories underpinning them? These are not just academic questions. Today's thinking manager needs to plan and analyse, not simply respond to priblems ad hoc. Increasingly, management is seen as a skill and international competition is constantly creating new challenges. The manager who can grasp the concepts outlined in this book will be one step ahead of both colleagues and rivals. Chapter by chpater, this book focuses on key management thinkers from the nineteenth century to today. Based on interviews with many of the gurus and their associates, and with reference to writing by and about them, it explains who they were and are, the background to their ideas and insights, their key concepts and the effect these have had, both when they were first forumalted and in their continuing relevance. This is the essential handbook for any manager who is seriously interested in what he or she is doing. 276 pp.(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.) . 1st Guild Publishing.

Ex-library with ex-library markings. Wear to corners of boards. Assuming no previous knowledge, he takes us through the procedure step by step: the nature of the animals ('they are lovable creatures but they demand attention'), housing and bedding, feeding and breeding, the pros and cons of the different breeds and how to avoid (or cope with) bad habits and disease. We are told everything in fact that needs to be known to procude a family of contented pigs with litters thar are marketable in some twelve week from birth - a quick enough turnover to satisfy any accountant. There are of course rules and regulations to be followed and these are explained together with the names of the organisations that can assist; and, as the author remarks , their help is readily available on all counts. There are plenty of 'do's and dont's but in the author's opinion the principal potential danger is complancency, ignoring anything irregular in the pig's behaviour, for instance. His book will help you to observe as well as act.

To them, these coverings seemed irrelevant to both modern life and Islamic piety. Today, however, the majority of Muslim women throughout the Islamic world again wear the veil. Why, Ahmed asks, did this change take root so swiftly, and what does this shift mean for women, Islam, and the West?When she began her study, Ahmed assumed that the veil's return indicated a backward step for Muslim women worldwide. What she discovered, however, in the stories of British colonial officials, young Muslim feminists, Arab nationalists, pious Islamic daughters, American Muslim immigrants, violent jihadists, and peaceful Islamic activists, confounded her expectations. Ahmed observed that Islamism, with its commitments to activism in the service of the poor and in pursuit of social justice, is the strain of Islam most easily and naturally merging with western democracies' own tradition of activism in the cause of justice and social change. It is often Islamists, even more than secular Muslims, who are at the forefront of such contemporary activist struggles as civil rights and women's rights. Ahmed's surprising conclusions represent a near reversal of her thinking on this topic.Richly insightful, intricately drawn, and passionately argued, this absorbing story of the veil's resurgence, from Egypt through Saudi Arabia and into the West, suggests a dramatically new portrait of contemporary Islam., Yale University Press, 2011, 3<
