In an ere as morally confused as ours, Stoner argues, we at least ought to know what we've abandoned or suppressed in the name of judicial activism and the modern rights-oriented Constitution. Having lost our way, perhaps the common law, in its original sense, provides a way back, a viable alternative to the debilitating relativism of our current age.
This edition continues its strong research orientation and solid theoretical underpinnings. The general theme of the sixth edition is dynamic engagement - a broad term that captures the essence of change confronting future managers, and current thinking on what they will need to succeed. The material presented revolves around the themes of ethics, globalization, entrepreneurship and small businesses, cultural diversity, and quality. This work is appropriate for students following courses in the Principles of Management.
The fifth edition of this text takes management into the 1990s and makes students aware of today's global environment changes, showing them how effective managers can and do adapt. Management and diversity boxes show how culturally diverse groups are being integrated into effective organizations and discuss how management styles differ throughout the world. There is increased emphasis on international management and each chapter concludes with a video case showing how an actual company has dealt with an issue covered in both the chapter and a corresponding news video clip.
In this book, James Stoner's purpose is to recover the common law basis of American constitutionalism. American constitutionalism in general, he argues, and judicial review in particular, cannot be fully understood without acknowledging their roots in both common law and liberal political theory. But for the most part, the common law underpinnings of constitutionalism have received short shrift.
This is the story of a quiet man, destined to be a farmer but who becomes an academic. It is book in which nothing and everything happens and is possibly the greatest novel you've never read. 'It's simply a novel about a guy who goes to college and becomes a teacher. But its one of the most fascinating things that you've ever come across' Tom Hanks, Time William Stoner enters the University of Missouri at nineteen to study agriculture. A seminar on English literature changes his life, and he never returns to work on his father's farm. Stoner becomes a teacher. He marries the wrong woman. His life is quiet, and after his death, his colleagues remember him rarely. Yet with truthfulness, compassion and intense power, this novel uncovers a story of universal value - of the conflicts, defeats and victories of the human race that pass unrecorded by history - and in doing so reclaims the significance of an individual life. 'A beautiful, sad, utterly convincing account of an entire life' Ian McEwan 'A brilliant, beautiful, inexorably sad, wise and elegant novel' Nick Hornby INTRODUCED BY JOHN McGAHERN
The Stoner Philosophy concerns spirituality, politics, and unanswered questions in the universe. The book is a condensed synopsis about where the world is heading if we continue on the path we’re going. It embodies a whole new look on the color spectrum, what we define as "elements," and our understanding of the human mind. I believe my views on politics, science, and the business world are something new to society, including a whole new look into magic, while also explaining exactly what magic is. I take a look into Greek and Roman philosophy, as well as New Age thinking. My book will hopefully give the common man a better perspective on spirituality and science in a few dozen easy-to-read pages. It provides interesting conversation topics for discussion groups, or just something to talk about with friends. The Stoner Philosophy is for the curious.
This book presents innovative approaches to reducing poverty through the commitment, involvement, and leadership of individuals, for-profit businesses, and not-for-profit organizations. Many of these approaches are making significant contributions to reducing poverty right now. Some of these approaches may look promising now at their current level of success but will turn out to be limited in their scalability or in their ability to sustain themselves and endure over time. Others may some day be looked back upon as having laid the ground work for major contributions to reducing global poverty. However, all of them offer fruitful grounds for inquiry and learning. It is our intention that shar...
