Out of Place

"Heartstyles provided the 'aha' moment that made me reflect on my leadership approach and pivot. Often my team and I share stories of being 'below the line,' and have promised to suppose each other to lead with love and humility. We are on a journey to model these behaviors for the entire organization. Leading with heart is core to the transformation of our company culture and completely aligned with our purpose of helping people live better lives."

Living and Leading with Heart

Above the Line

The book is well illustrated with numerous topographical plans and black-and-white photographs, many of them taken by Maher himself. This is meticulous scholarship, all the more valuable because it brings information collected from the scattered recent reports of various field archaeologists and earlier explorers together between two covers. ... Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.

How the Brain Makes Decisions

A New York Times Editors&#39; Choice&nbsp; A Finalist for the National Jewish Book Award, in the Book Club category&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;The Tunnel &mdash; translated smoothly from the Hebrew by Stuart Schoffman &mdash; is about how one couple copes with the initial news that from now on, everything is going to be different . . . Zvi comes to see, in large measure because of his struggle with dementia, that to exist among people, all people, is to open oneself to the menace but also the glory of human entanglement . . . I found great beauty, not answers, in Zvi&rsquo;s essential human decency. Rather than retreat inward and hide, he chooses &mdash; yes &mdash; to live."&nbsp;&mdash;Peter Orner, New York Times Book Review&nbsp;&nbsp;"A.B. Yehoshua&#39;s fiction seldom collapse into the commonplace. They both honor the contract of realism and underwrite that contract with symbolic layers of meaning. His stories plausibly represent ordinary lives and at the same time astutely allegorize. Yehoshua&#39;s latest novel, his 12th, confirms that no living Israeli writer accomplishes that dual feat with as casual a mastery. The Tunnel, flawlessly translated from the Hebrew by Stuart Schoffman, tells a story about memory and mercy."&nbsp;&mdash;Haaretz&nbsp;&nbsp; "The Israeli writer A.B. Yehoshua is one of the great writers of the 20th century who has, since his early books The Lover and Mr. Mani, been slowly and steadily creating characters of great depth and humor and vision. A man of sly wit and enormous empathy he is exactly what we need in these troubled times...This new novel is a fabulous portrayal of a long marriage. While it has the serious ballast that is present in all of Yehoshua&rsquo;s books, it is also a romp that at times reminded me of Britisher Michael Frayn in its appealing zaniness...How [our narrator] maneuvers his way through both old and new tasks reminded me at times of Nabokov&rsquo;s Pnin (one of my favorite characters in all of literature); here one feels the same ineffable tenderness that is the mark of a truly wonderful writer. Exuberant is the right word, not only for the story&rsquo;s pile up of characters and events, but also for its prose. It has such precision and joy that I would be remiss if I didn&rsquo;t praise the translator, Stuart Schoffman...[This is] a novel so intimate and vivid that past and present and future merge in ways that generate surprise and delight."&nbsp;&mdash;The Arts Fuse&nbsp;&nbsp;"[The Tunnel] is one of Yehoshua&#39;s most spryly amusing efforts...A quirky, deeply affecting work by a master storyteller."&nbsp;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews, STARRED&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;A warmhearted and subtly provocative novel...The symbolism is potent, and consistent with the politically outspoken Yehoshua&rsquo;s recent shift away from his prior advocacy for a two-state solution. Yet Yehoshua never allows politics to dominate...The story&rsquo;s heart lies in poignant domestic moments between Luria and his wife.&rdquo;&nbsp;&mdash;Booklist&nbsp;&nbsp; "The main achievement of the book is to draw us into the process of mental deterioration through aging and the gnawing anxieties about decline triggered by that process, a subject rarely tackled by novelists. This may sound dire, but Yehoshua&rsquo;s distinctive gift as a novelist is demonstrated yet again in his ability to turn it into an occasion for absurd comedy as well as for fear."&nbsp;&mdash;Robert Alter, Jewish Review of Books&nbsp;&nbsp; &quo

For all those who think that states pull all the strings when it comes to designing and controlling international organizations, Tana Johnson's excellent book will force you to think again.  While most studies focus on states as principals and international bureaucrats as agents, Johnson demonstrates that many international bureaucrats have mastered the art of insulating themselves from state control. This is a terrific study. Give it a careful read, and you will
have a much better grasp of international organizational politics.
