Asset Management in the Social Rented Sector: Policy and Practice in Europe and Australia

Book Description

This book fills an important gap in housing research. While recent changes in housing policies and markets pose significant challenges for the development of asset management within the social rented sector, this topic has hardly been covered in international comparative research on housing. The book provides an overview of the state-of-the-art of asset management practice in the social rented sector in various countries. It contains some inspiring examples for practitioners and consultants. It enables housing managers and policymakers to place their approach in a wider perspective. Furthermore, it provides insight into the impact of national housing policy on the operations of social landlords, which can be used in support of housing policy.

Book Description

Despite our national preoccupation with achievement, little attention seems to be paid to the pursuit of excellence on an individual basis. For while it's easy to talk about the collective excellence of an organization, Seth Allcorn argues, no one really wants to be threatened by the superior individual performance of another. In this work, Allcorn examines the paradox of human nature that places individuals of distinction in the position of being rejected and ostracized by their peers. He explores the psychological underpinnings of this phenomenon and suggests ways of revising organizational culture to foster individual excellence. Focusing on the psychological aspects of people and the workplace, Allcorn divides his study into three sections. The first offers an introduction to the search for excellence and discusses the identification of workplace "superstars." Also examined are the organizational trends that inhibit individual achievement, the interaction between the superstars and others, and the psychology of office behavior. Section two details the different types of superstars found in organizations and their approaches to achieving excellence. Finally, section three explores some possibilities for adapting current organizational structures to allow and encourage greater pursuit of personal excellence. With its basis in the author's practical experience in middle management, this volume will be a valuable resource for students and professionals in human resource management as well as the management and business fields.

Book Description

Learn Valuable Research Techniques While You Enjoy a Fascinating Story!

In this dramatic Civil War history and genealogical research case study, author Les Rolston reconstructs the life and times of Samuel Postlethwaite, a young Confederate private in the 19th Mississippi infantry. The author describes how, in the many years following Postlethwaite's death, all record of the soldier's life was lost.

Through tireless research applying techniques and strategies you too can use, Rolston found Sam and secured an "honorable burial" for the only known Confederate soldier to be buried in Rhode Island.

To add context to the story of his discovery, Rolston relates the history of two families--the Greenes from Rhode Island and the Postlethwaites from Mississippi--and gives a detailed account of how individuals from each family were involved in the Civil War. Lost Soul explores how these wartime enemies became family, and how their union led a battle-tested Confederate soldier to spend his last days-and all eternity-in the North.

Combining an impressive amount of research with a compelling story line, Lost Soul is a must-read for any Civil War enthusiast or family historian.

Customer Reviews:

A compelling read -- informative and fascinating........1999-11-05

Rolston writes of the experience of the ordinary Civil War soldier in a manner both compelling and informative. I found it hard to put the book down! By interweaving some of the clearest descriptions of major battles I've read with the fascinating story of Rolston's own quest to discover the story and resting place of a Confederate veteran near his home in Rhode Island, he becomes a character in the continuing of history of the Civil War. Rolston easily conveys the tragedy, the irony, and the terrible beauty wrapped up in a time in American history when men held honor dear enough to die for.

It's a good read!.......2001-02-23

The first thing that should be said about The Eleanor Roosevelt Encyclopedia is that it is a "good read." You can open it anywhere and read fascinating information about Eleanor Roosevelt's life, friends, family, work, and political causes. You can follow the asterisks in the text to related entries, or you can read successive entries, learning serially and serendipitously about Lucy Mercer Rutherfurd, ER's social secretary who became romantically involved with FDR; ER's friend Rose Schneiderman, a Polish immigrant who became one of the most important labor leaders of the twentieth century; the scholarly debate over ER's sexuality; and Alfred Smith, Democratic presidential nominee in 1928. Everyone who was active in the progressive movement is here, as well as political organizations, foreign leaders, and discussions of such topics as television, the anti-lynching movement, birth control, the democratic party, ER's biographers, and the United Nations. Most especially, the amazing fullness of Eleanor Roosevelt's life is here. Small wonder that Hillary Clinton wanted to talk to her when she became first lady.

The Eleanor Roosevelt Encyclopedia is a Winner.......2001-02-16

This is a volume that belongs in every school and public library that wants to provide a lively, reliable, and perceptive introduction to the life and career of the First Lady of the World, as Mrs. Roosevelt was known. Anyone interested in Eleanor Roosevelt will also want to own this book.

Book Description

Western living in Wyoming is more than a large, log house in a picturesque, mountain canyon. It is associating with particularly socially conservative people. It is knowing that there is a sturggle for control of the land and its resources, and knowing that there is a Valentine's Day dance, good fishing and space that seems like a glimpse of eternity.
