"Weiss and Hartle succeed where many authors have failed: drawing the connection between individual motivation and organizational performance. Along the way, they provide clues about how to survive in this time of reorganization, renewal and culture change."-Tom Downs, Executive Vice President, Operations and Services, QVC Network, Inc.

Little kids will relate to the anti-spicy bias and chuckle over Salmieri's watercolor and gouache cartoon illustrations showing literally boatloads of tacos and all sizes of dragons enjoying their favorite food at pool parties, costume parties and, well, taco parties."&#8212;San Francisco Chronicle &#160;"The perfect book for kids who love dragons and mild tacos."&#8212;Kirkus Reviews &#160;"The watercolor, gouache, and colored pencil cartoon illustrations are the real stars here.

The Shattered Court

The Diplomatic Correspondence Of The United States Of America V5 (1833)

Global Justice the basics stands as the 'go-to text' for a brief, basic, but high-level and well-informed introduction to its topic. Social and legal theorists will learn from its discussion of actual global justice movements, and scholars and students of social movements will gain a comprehensive overview of the major perspectives and debates. John Foran, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA
This is an exceptional volume, which collects in a very short book a great deal of wisdom about the theory and practice of global justice. Williams and Death have written a book which connects philosophical reflection with activist energy – to the benefit of both. Michael Blake, University of Washington, USA

Global Justice: The Basics

"Shaun McNiff remains first and foremost an ally of the soul.  Here he offers us a stunning array of entry points into the creative process.  We learn how to transform the most mundane aspects of life through artistic encounters and to engage with our most painful challenges creatively."&mdash;Pat B. Allen, Ph.D., ATR, instructor at the school of the Art Institute of Chicago and author of  Art Is a Way of Knowing  "Art Heals  restores the therapeutic imagination to its central place in human life.  The creative energy of this book will be recognized by all those who have been touched by the healing power of the arts.  It is a masterly work by a master in the field of creative and expressive arts therapies."&mdash;Stephen K. Levine, Dean of the Doctoral Program in Expressive Arts: Therapy, Education, Consulting, at The European Graduate School  "Shaun McNiff challenges us through these remarkable essays not only to take on the role of artist and dare to create our most compelling images, but also to dialogue with them and by doing so, to engage in a process of healing the inevitable wounds of being human.  In a moment in history when the images most available to us are the most horrifying and numbing, McNiff offers a stunning antidote."&mdash;Robert Landy, Ph.D., RDT/BCT, Professor of Educational Theatre and Drama Therapy, New York University  "Reading Art Heals  is like attending a retrospective exhibition of a master artist, with its careful selection, critique, and contemplation of McNiff's original ideas and guiding images.  In refining and reimagining these ideas in the context of today, McNiff brings a fresh vision to his work and offers a valuable answer to the increasingly incoherent fragmentation of mental health care."&mdash;Lynn Kapitan, Ph.D., ATR-BC, Associate Professor of Graduate Art Therapy of Mount Mary College and author of  Re-enchanting Art Therapy

"The 'libertarian paternalism' theory promises to use the state to help correct citizens' wrong decisions without asking their consent, yet also without truly entering the realm of coercion. Too good to be true? Indeed it is, as this book helps to show. Mark White gives us the sort of analysis we need to nudge back." - Walter Olson, Senior Fellow, Cato Institute, USA

"The Manipulation of Choice states that paternalists impose their own values and goals onto hapless consumers and citizens. Hence, public policies designed to correct the imperfections of behavioral irrationality are coercive. This is an important point and one that needs to be debated." - Jonathan B. Wight, Professor of Economics and International Studies, University of Richmond, USA

"An important book on a timely topic. The Manipulation of Choice is an accessible book that is especially well suited for students. But it is also a welcome challenge to a currently fashionable theory that libertarians and paternalists alike should read with pleasure. Mark White . . . challenges the moral foundations of the entire research program." - The Independent Review

"The work is a solid, compelling read for anyone interested in a concise but comprehensive account of the case against libertarian paternalism and its theoretical foundations. In the course of battling libertarian paternalism and its underlying theories, White simultaneously builds a positive case for individual freedom in defence of more traditional, non-paternalistic paradigms of libertarian philosophy and economics." - Erasmus Journal for Philosophy and Economics

"White addresses our increasing faith in quantification . . . The more relentlessly you measure people's behavior, the greater the temptation to steer that behavior in subtle and sometimes not-so-subtle ways . . . A quantified state optimizes outcomes by narrowing possibilities - and establishing 'efficiency and uplift for all' as the new national mandate. You don't need a sophisticated sensor network to register that as a step backward." - Greg Beato, Reason, on The Manipulation of Choice and The Illusion of Well-Being

Praise for The Obsession &#160; &ldquo;Roberts retains her impeccably high standards in this excellently executed tale, once again dazzling readers with a sophisticated blend of edge-of-your-seat suspense and sexy romance.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist (starred review) &#160; &ldquo;Roberts has an unparalleled ability to paint a picture with words&mdash;readers will easily picture Naomi&rsquo;s photographic art and her rambling home with its beautiful view&mdash;and the story is expertly executed. Sizzling romance, affable characters, and enticing suspense make this a read to be savored.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly (starred review)&ldquo;This riveting tale benefits from an immensely likable supporting cast and its rewarding blend of suspense and romance. Brief glimpses into the killer&rsquo;s mind add a chilling touch to a story you won&rsquo;t be able to put down.&rdquo;&mdash;Library Journal

The Obsession

One of the main strengths is its genuine comparative, EU-wide approach which in itself is a bold undertaking. The book quite convincingly demonstrates the continued importance of national frameworks for regional development and thus puts question marks over the notion of a 'Europe of the regions' without national states... the book is well worth reading.
