Why Fairy Tales Stick - Jack Zipes - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Why Fairy Tales Stick - Jack Zipes - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In his latest book, fairy tales expert Jack Zipes explores the question of why some fairy tales "work" and others don''t, why the fairy tale is uniquely capable of getting under the skin of culture and staying there. Why, in other words, fairy tales "stick." Long an advocate of the fairy tale as a serious genre with wide social and cultural ramifications, Jack Zipes here makes his strongest case for the idea of the fairy tale not just as a collection of stories for children but a profoundly important genre. Why Fairy Tales Stick contains two chapters on the history and theory of the genre, followed by case studies of famous tales (including Cinderella, Snow White, and Bluebeard), followed by a summary chapter on the problematic nature of traditional storytelling in the twenty-first century.

Making Organizational Change Stick - Gabrielle O'donovan - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Making Organizational Change Stick - Gabrielle O'donovan - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Business needs change. And it needs it in ways, at a rate and on a scale that is unprecedented. Current success rates for organizational change projects are dismal and are likely to remain so until organizations reinvent their approach to project delivery, and learn how to integrate Change Management and Project Management successfully. In this ground-breaking and innovative book, Gabrielle O Donovan shows you how to design strategy, structures and processes to realize this integration and deliver sustainable and commercially powerful business change. She opens the book by providing the context, describing both the problem and the solution; how the disconnect between Project Management and Change Management feeds the 40–70 per cent failure rate and the laying of many a dud egg; and how cross-discipline integration efforts thus far have only addressed the tip of the iceberg, ignoring the subterranean cultural element that can divide or unite project teams. From there, she profiles Project Management and Change Management in turn and, crucially, the value and service propositions of these respective disciplines and the different theories, models and tools they employ. In the second half of the book she makes a ‘Project and Change Partnership’ (PCP) culture explicit and measurable, articulating those cultural assumptions that will support an effective alliance and that relate to those universal problems all organizations face regarding the macro environment, external adaptability and survival, and internal integration. From there, she describes how Project Managers and Change Managers can cooperate daily by dividing work packages and activities throughout the end-to-end project lifecycle. Project leaders who instill a PCP culture will benefit from the unique value that these interdependent disciplines bring to project delivery. It is they who will lay golden eggs and realize business benefits. Making Organizational Change Stick is written for project leaders, Change Managers, Project/Programme Managers, design thinkers, business architects and anyone concerned with business change.

The book also looks at prospects for more inclusive, participatory forms of policymaking.

Wittgenstein - Kelly Dean Jolley - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Concepts covered include grammar, meaning and meaning-blindness language-games and private language, family resemblances, psychologism, rule-following, teaching and learning, avowals, Moore''s Paradox, aspect seeing, the meter-stick, and criteria.

English Speech from an Historical Point of View - N. Bøgholm - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

English Speech from an Historical Point of View - N. Bøgholm - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

First published in 1939, English Speech from an Historical Point of View presents the history of the English language under three major components: Old English, Middle English and Modern English. Each of these divisions, with the partial exception of Modern English, treats English with regard to phonology, morphology and syntax. The author argues that it has not always been found practical to stick exclusively to the 3 periods in dealing with some phenomenon which may have had its full development within one particular period, while it had its origin or faded away in another. Particular regard has been had to Shakespearean English. Otherwise, a selection has been made of Middle English (and Old English) texts which are most representative. This is an important historical work for students of English language.

George Washington - Theodore Crackel - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

George Washington - Theodore Crackel - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

George Washington, the USA''s first president, was the one indispensible man in both the nation''s independence and the formulation of its government. That said, he is too often seen as a stick figure--a man with no formal education, reliant to a great degree on others for his ideas and understanding--often reduced to the story about chopping down the cherry tree or seen only as the face of President''s Day. George Washington: Man and Monument fleshes out this picture for students of the Early Republic, showing how Washington, as a young man, developed a set of core values that shaped the man he later became. Using primary sources culled from the Papers of George Washington, as well as other sources, along with six succinct chapters, students can explore what influences helped shape the man--as a soldier, a statesman, and in his private life.

Donald W. Winnicott - Laura Dethiville - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Donald W. Winnicott - Laura Dethiville - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Winnicott was continually innovating, inventing, and proposing unexpected solutions in his analytical work whenever he noticed that clinical experience "didn''t stick to the theory". This approach can make his work seem rather diffuse, with concepts that are sometimes confusing and needing to be clarified. Laura Dethiville has taken on the task of re-evaluating and explaining the principal rudiments of his theories, such as the transitional object, the self, the false self, the importance of environment, and dissociation. She also reveals how Winnicott showed himself to be a forerunner in the care of symptomatic illness in our society, including his innovative treatment of loss of identity, anorexia or bulimia, delinquency, psychosomatic illness, and school disorders. In this book the author has succeeded in avoiding psychoanalytic jargon and, although initially aimed at psychoanalysts, it is also accessible for educators, child carers, paediatricians, and to all those interested in early childhood, the constitution of the psyche, and the constitution of the interpersonal link.

Youth Culture and Identity in Northern Thailand - Anjalee Cohen - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Youth Culture and Identity in Northern Thailand - Anjalee Cohen - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Youth Culture and Identity in Northern Thailand examines how young people in urban Chiang Mai construct an identity at the intersection of global capitalism, state ideologies, and local culture. Drawing on over 15 years of ethnographic research, the book explores the impact of rapid urbanisation and modernisation on contemporary Thai youth, focusing on conspicuous youth subcultures, drug use (especially methamphetamine use), and violent youth gangs. Anjalee Cohen shows how young Thai people construct a specific youth identity through consumerism and symbolic boundaries – in particular through enduring rural/urban distinctions. The suggestion is that the formation of subcultures and “deviant” youth practices, such as drug use and violence, are not necessarily forms of resistance against the dominant culture, nor a pathological response to dramatic social change, as typically understood in academic and public discourse. Rather, Cohen argues that such practices are attempts to “fit in and stick out” in an anonymous urban environment. This volume is relevant to scholars in Thai Studies, Southeast Asian Studies, Anthropology, Sociology, Urban Studies, and Development Studies, particularly those with an interest in youth, drugs, and gangs.

The Politics of Protest - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Politics of Protest - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This collection provides a deep engagement with the political implication of Black Lives Matter. This book covers a broad range of topics using a variety of methods and epistemological approaches. In the twenty-first century, the killings of Black Americans have sparked a movement to end the brutality against Black bodies. In 2013, #BlackLivesMatter would become a movement-building project led by Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi. This movement began after the acquittal of George Zimmerman, who murdered 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. The movement has continued to fight for racial justice and has experienced a resurgence following the 2020 slayings of Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Sean Reed, Tony McDade, and David McAtee among others. The continued protests raise questions about how we can end this vicious cycle and lead Blacks to a state of normalcy in the United States. In other words, how can we make any advances made by Black Lives Matter stick? The chapters in this book were originally published in the journal Politics, Groups, and Identities.

How to Think and Intervene Like an REBT Therapist - Windy Dryden - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

How to Think and Intervene Like an REBT Therapist - Windy Dryden - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Trainee therapists often stick rigidly to the therapeutic guidelines that are taught to them on their training course, or adopted from a book, regardless of their approach. How to Think and Intervene Like an REBT Therapist provides the trainee with an opportunity to discover how experienced therapists think, and how their thoughts influence their interventions when using Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT). In this book, Windy Dryden compares the thinking and intervening characteristics of experienced REBT therapists with the actions of trainees making errors typical of people at an introductory level. By using clinical vignettes, case scenarios and verbatim dialogue, he demonstrates how REBT therapists can make better use of the working alliance between themselves, their clients and their trainees, and use REBT more flexibly in practice. This new edition is updated with modern language and examples to make it more user friendly and accessible for readers. New references and the citing of developments in theory bring the book up to date with advancements in the field and create greater flexibility for both therapist and client. This highly practical guide remains essential reading for all those who have recently been introduced to REBT.

Further Advances in Project Management - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Projects are ubiquitous to modern society, yet, concerns around successful delivery, value realisation, resilience and making change stick force a significant re-evaluation of the scope and extent of the ‘normal’ project discourse.

The chapters collated in this volume bring together leading authorities on topics that are relevant to the management, leadership, governance and delivery of projects. Topics include people, communication, ethics, change management, value realisation, benefits, complexity, decision-making, project assurance, communication, knowledge management, big data, project requirements, business architecture, stakeholder engagement, strategy, users, systems thinking and resilience. The main aims of the collection are to reflect on the state of practice within the discipline; to propose new extensions and additions to good practice; to offer new insights and perspectives; to distil new knowledge; and to provide a way of sampling a range of the most promising ideas, perspectives and styles of writing from some of the leading thinkers and practitioners in the discipline.

The Conundrum of Corruption - Scott A. (university Of Washington Fritzen - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Conundrum of Corruption - Scott A. (university Of Washington Fritzen - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This book argues that it is time to step back and reassess the anti-corruption movement, which despite its many opportunities and great resources has ended up with a track record that is indifferent at best. Drawing on many years of experience and research, the authors critique many of the major strategies and tactics employed by anti-corruption actors, arguing that they have made the mistake of holding on to problematical assumptions, ideas, and strategies, rather than addressing the power imbalances that enable and sustain corruption. The book argues that progress against corruption is still possible but requires a focus on justice and fairness, considerable tolerance for political contention, and a willingness to stick with the reform cause over a very long process of thoroughgoing, sometimes discontinuous political change. Ultimately, the purpose of the book is not to tell people that they are doing things all wrong. Instead, the authors present new ways of thinking about familiar dilemmas of corruption, politics, contention, and reform. These valuable insights from two of the top thinkers in the field will be useful for policymakers, reform groups, grant-awarding bodies, academic researchers, NGO officers, and students.

Quality Beyond Six Sigma - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Quality Beyond Six Sigma - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Six Sigma is a data-driven management system with near-perfect performance that is a statistical target of operating with no more that 3.4 defects per one million chances. Six sigma has both created avid interest and raised concerns among executives and its practioners. This is all very well for multinationals like Motorola or General Electric but how can it help small and medium-sized enterprises or the service industry? How do you ensure that solutions stick? Quality Beyond Six Sigma responds to this challenge and provides a practical implementation of the issues of Six Sigma, Lean Enterprise and Total Quality and aligns the ''hard'' sigma message with the softer sustainable ''strategic issues''. The result is FIT SIGMA. The authors utilize major and minor case studies to support principles and learnings of FIT SIGMA and include review examples and self-assessment that underpin the sustainable process. The three major case studies are contributed by General Electric, Dow Chemical and Seagate Technology. Senior Executives and Managers of organizations of all types and sizes, Management Consultants and Students of all disciplines will find this book a stimulating guide to quality and operational excellence.
