Описание: When Jacob and Sara visited Pelican Island as college students, they knew that someday they were destined to live there-even though the island was a magnet for every passing hurricane. Clinging tightly to their dream, they sell their Illinois farm and move to the island, arriving full of hope for a new life. Facing the very real danger from devastating storms, they partner with Alex Samson of the local Samson Lumber Company to design a structure that can withstand any hurricane: a beach cottage on stilts that can be raised and lowered for safety. As they focus on their work of genius, another storm is building around them-the mistrust and anger of neighbors and the powerful island planning committee. As nature's chaos brews and islanders' emotions surge, Sara and Jacob find themselves in the eye of a hurricane in this compelling, relevant novel about what humanity can and cannot control.

Achieve better outcomes with a lot less effort
Find opportunities in fiendishly complex problems
Juggle stakeholders' diverse, evolving needs
Take relationships to a whole new level
Navigate dilemmas and polarising issues
Adapt, evolve and progress in whatever ways you find most meaningful
Upgrade is a practical manual for revolutionising the way you look at yourself, your work and the people around you. Not only that, it'll help you trigger the same kind of step-change in others.

Автор: Clucas Richard A., Valdini Melody Ellis Название: The Character of Democracy: How Institutions Shape Politics ISBN: 0199945462 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780199945467 Издательство: Oxford Academ Цена: 131790.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The Character of Democracy: How Institutions Shape Politics offers a uniquely comprehensive overview of the major democratic institutions found around the world, including electoral systems, party systems, presidential and parliamentary governments, legislatures, federalism, and constitutional courts. The authors first present five broad categories of democratic ideals that reflect the consent of the governed--meaningful elections, fair representation, accountability, majority rule and minority rights, and the functionality of the state--and then explain how well different institutional designs live up to these democratic ideals. For each institution, they provide an in-depth treatment of its related literature, describe variations in how it is structured around the world, and explain why these variations are important to how democratic political systems work. Case studies of the political structures found in Brazil, Germany, Japan, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States illustrate how differences in institutional design affect democratic government. Taking an analytical and scholarly approach that does not advocate any particular democratic design, The Character of Democracy is ideal for advanced courses in comparative politics and/or democratic institutions.

Описание: Personality has determined the winner of the last twenty-two U.S. presidential elections--and it will decide who wins in 2020. "The Greeks had a word for it 'Charisma.' In the theatre we call it 'Stage Presence.' JFK had it, so did Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama. Nixon did not. The jury is still out on whether Donald Trump can be saved by his own version. Merrick has put together an excellent guide to understanding politics and human nature as well, which I will be eagerly sharing with my media and politics students." - Jon-Christopher Bua, White House Correspondent, Talk Media News and Adjunct Professor, The Catholic University of America Who will take the White House in 2020? Another U.S. presidential election is underway, and Americans are engaged in the time-honored tradition of judging candidates by their personalities. It may sound unwise to pick the future leader of the free world based on personality traits rather than platforms, policies, and ideology, but that is exactly what Americans do. In fact, personality explains the results of the last twenty-two U.S. elections--and can predict who will win in 2020. Personality expert Merrick Rosenberg and co-author Richard Ellis have developed an unprecedented system that reveals the pattern of who takes the White House and why. In this exploration of U.S. presidential elections, you'll uncover the unique characteristics of Eagles (Donald Trump and Franklin D. Roosevelt), Parrots (Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan), Doves (Dwight D. Eisenhower and Jimmy Carter), and Owls (George H.W. Bush and Richard Nixon) who occupied the Oval Office. You'll discover that no matter what is happening in the world and what the candidates propose, nothing stops certain personalities from winning elections. If you're wondering whether Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, or another Democratic candidate can beat Donald Trump in the 2020 election, this book has the answer.

Описание: Getting students away from spouting opinions about highly-charged partisan issues, Debating Reform, Fourth Edition looks at key questions about reforming political institutions, with contributed pieces written by top scholars specifically for the volume. Each pro or con essay considers a concrete proposal for reforming the political system. By focusing on institutions, rather than liberal or conservative public policies, students tend to leave behind ideology and grapple with claims and evidence to draw their own conclusions and build their own arguments. Students will explore how institutions work in their American government text, but this reader helps them to understand how they can be made to work better.
