Book Description

As the concept of e-learning moves from the future into the present, trainers and human resource professionals must not only adapt their methods to a new medium, but also rethink the very nature of workplace education. Written by a top training professional and leading authority on technology-based development, The E-Learning Revolution is a call to arms that no one in training and development can afford to ignore. Based on a series of hard-hitting propositions that examine how organizational learning has evolved, the book provides provocative insights on:

* How learner-centered educational technologies will demand a reexamination of the way professionals learn * What trainers must do to acknowledge the changes in which organizations compete in the new connected economy * Why barriers between knowledge management, performance management, and training must fall if a company wants to achieve its agenda

Filled with case studies of companies like Ernst & Young, IBM, and Hewlett Packard, The E-Learning Revolution provides a catalyst for change in a rapidly evolving profession.

Book Description

The images on the cover call attention to the relationship between macro observations and the intimate structure of chemical substances and the changes, both chemical and physical, that they undergo. Fireworks: One of the ingredients is phosphorus, a molecular form of which is believed to consist of linked tetrahedra of phosphorus atoms. The chemical reaction of phosphorus with oxygen is partly responsible for the spectacular show of light. Carbon: The element is found in several forms, including the familiar diamond and another, recently discovered, sooty substance that consists of soccer-ball shaped molecules, often referred to as "buckeyballs." Diamond is not the most stable form of carbon and is created from other forms of carbon at high temperatures and pressures deep within the earth. Acetylene torch: Cutting steel is possible because of the intense heat generated by the chemical reaction of acetylene with oxygen, a reaction between molecules of C_2H_2 and O_2 to give CO_2 and H_2O. Hot air balloon: The air that helps it rise is heated by the combustion of molecules of propane, each composed of three carbon and eight hydrogen atoms. Stormy weather: The evaporation of water serves to store energy provided by the sun. Subsequent condensation of the water vapor releases this energy and is the basis of all the weather systems on our planet.

Book Description

Anthropologists have traditionally ignored the New World primates because they are not in the mainstream of evolution leading to the human species. Yet, because they exhibit parallel adaptations to those of apes and Old World monkeys - tool use, a wider variety of mating systems, and parallels to human language - they provide us with a unique source of information. This book, whose contributors are leading experts on various aspects of New World monkeys, explores the tremendous diversity to be found among neotropical primate species that have adapted to the highly varied Central and South American ecosystems. These studies provide striking similarities to, as well as intriguing differences from, the heretofore better known adaptations in the Old World. In the process, they shed new light upon the evolutionary process as it is played out among our primate relations on a neotropical stage.

Part Two of the book consists of an authoritative synopsis completed before his death by the late Dr. Kinzey, describing basic behavior for each genus of the sixteen known New World genera, along with maps locating their habitats.

Book Description

Many biographies have been written of Jan Smuts but none have achieved so close an examination of the interpersonal and political relationships of Smuts as Professor Ockie Geyser has portrayed in Jan Smuts and his International Contemporaries. This exceptional study of Smuts covers a broad period of history: from 1888 when Smuts was indirectly in contact with Cecil John Rhodes to 1948, thus spanning the period of the Anglo-Boer War and the two world wars. Although Smuts is said to have had a reserved nature, his versatility was undoubtedly and important part of his complex personality. This versatility attracted people's attention from all spheres of life. Jan Smuts and his International Contemporaries provides an analysis of the relationships that placed Smuts in a prominent position in the councils of the world. His insight into world affairs and his exceptional intellectual abilities made him a sought-after confidante and advisor to several governments, politicians, and distinguished leaders worldwide. In a time when people tend to ignore history and how things came to be the way they are today, this book can do much to revive interest in some of the most interesting people of the previous century. These included Cecil John Rhodes, Alfred Milner, Henry Campbell-Bannerman, David Lloyd Geoge, Winston Churchill, Mahatma Gandhi, Eamon de Valera, the Windsors, Charles de Gaulle, and Adolf Hitler, all of whose paths crossed that of Jan Smuts. Read how this "sickly, rickety child" "an unprepossessing lad showing no signs of promise" not only became prime minister, but a world leader and one of the most influential people ever to ocme out of South Africa. Read what great world leaders said of him, and he of them! And how, together, they shaped the world political scene of their time.

Book Description

The seven novels of North Carolina writer Bernice Kelly Harris (1894-1973) were published to international acclaim in the 1940s, and her plays were produced on television in the 1950s. Yet, despite her success at midlife, she spent her last years struggling to make ends meet and was virtually unknown by the time of her death. In this compelling biography—the first full-scale life of Harris since 1955 and the first to utilize unpublished autobiographical writings and confidential letters—Valerie Raleigh Yow brings Harris back into the spotlight, revealing an extraordinary woman who thrived artistically while living a quite ordinary life. Yow's intimate portrait of Harris shows her responding to society's strictures by exploring in fiction the paths not open to her in real life.

AUTHOR BIO: Valerie Raleigh Yow, a history professor for many years, is an independent scholar and a counselor in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. She is the author of several books, including Recording Oral History: A Guide for the Humanities and Social Sciences and The History of Hera: A Woman's Art Cooperative.

Book Description

This book follows the storied career of Bob Mathias, the world's most famous teenager in 1948 when he came from a small town in rural California to win the Olympic gold medal in the grueling decathlon event. Mathias was 17 years old and just out of high school when he won the gold for the USA in the London, England Olympiad. He won the gold again in the 1952 Games in Helsinki, Finland and was known as the world's greatest athlete. Mathias was also a football star at Stanford, leading the university to the Rose Bowl, and was drafted by the Washington Redskins of the NFL. He then went to Hollywood and starred in movies and worked with John Wayne. He also served in the U.S. Marines retiring with the rank of Captain. Later, Bob served as a congressman in Washington, D.C., serving in the House of Representatives for four terms. Still active, Bob Mathias is involved with the United States Olympic Committee and tours the world giving motivational talks that inspire people of all ages. Bob Mathias: Across the fields of gold is a collection of stories and photographs (over 200) from Bob's youth to the present. It is a story not just of a great athlete and sportsman, but also a heartwarming story of family, community, and America at her best.

Customer Reviews:

Great Book! Excellent writing!.......1999-11-04

This book is a "must read" for anyone that enjoys reading about a truly great american athelete. This is a one of a kind book, put together with a great deal of thought and preparation. I applaud this book. It simply can not be put down, once you start reading. Where photographs and text truly meet! Bravo!

Enjoyed it very much.......1999-08-28

Just want to say that I enjoyed reading Across the Fields of Gold. I am inspired by this great athlete from a wonderful time in the USA when family and community pitched in for the good of all.

This book is a very "happy read".......1999-06-29

Although Bob Mathias: Across the Fields of Gold will not be a big threat to win any Pulitzer Prize, I thoroughly enjoyed it's charm and always felt good every time I picked it up. This story is a sleeper, not in a boring way, but in the fact that Bob Mathias is really one of the great "stories" of the 20th Century. It just may be a sleeping giant!

This is a very enjoyable book. Great story, great pictures........1999-06-09

I just want to say that I very much enjoyed reading such a positive sports story. This book will be a terrific one for young people in that they can see that sports stars are not just self-centered, selfish individuals. You don't have to be an athlete to like this book. It's fun and inspiring.

Great story and photos about a great man........1999-05-25

It is truly amazing that one person could have done so many things in his life. The book is interesting, funny, and inspiring. The book was a gift to me from my son (after he read it!) and we have had some nice disscussions about what it was like when Mathias did all these heroics and what it is like now in this country. I like the book too because it gives the reader hope.

Book Description

Twenty-three writers join together to explore the life and work of Larry Kramer, pioneer AIDS activist and acclaimed author of The Normal Heart and Faggots, in this original collection. The Academy Award-nominated screenwriter, producer, novelist, playwright, and co-founder of GMHC and founder of ACT-UP is one of the few visible gay role models we have for young people today. This unique volume focuses on Kramer as activist, writer, and personality. A controversial figure in the worlds of activism and letters, Kramer embodies the phrase, "the personal is political." This collection proves the impossibility of separating the activist from the writer and why perceptions of Kramer run from genius to provocateur.
