Book Description
The workplace team has become one of the most crucial components of many organizations. But the kind of teamworking that organizations need has evolved, with the emergence of temporary and virtual teams and a greater need for flexibility.
Now trainers, managers, and team leaders have the help they need! Packed with exercises, The Ultimate Team-Building Toolkit addresses essential issues like:
* The role of the team leader in building team identity * The need for "alignment" as groups become committed to a common goal * Team culture as a competitive advantage
Perfect for "just-in-time" situations, the book contains commentary on each exercise, as well as suggestions on how to use them to build the ultimate team!
Book Description
This book argues that the Constitution has a dual nature. The first aspect, on which legal scholars have focused, is the degree to which the Constitution acts as a binding set of rules that can be neutrally interpreted and externally enforced by the courts against government actors. This is the process of constitutional interpretation. But according to Keith Whittington, the Constitution also permeates politics itself, to guide and constrain political actors in the very process of making public policy. In so doing, it is also dependent on political actors, both to formulate authoritative constitutional requirements and to enforce those fundamental settlements in the future. Whittington characterizes this process, by which constitutional meaning is shaped within politics at the same time that politics is shaped by the Constitution, as one of construction as opposed to interpretation.
Whittington goes on to argue that ambiguities in the constitutional text and changes in the political situation push political actors to construct their own constitutional understanding. The construction of constitutional meaning is a necessary part of the political process and a regular part of our nation's history, how a democracy lives with a written constitution. The Constitution both binds and empowers government officials. Whittington develops his argument through intensive analysis of four important cases: the impeachments of Justice Samuel Chase and President Andrew Johnson, the nullification crisis, and reforms of presidential-congressional relations during the Nixon presidency.

How politics elucidates constitutional meaning.......2006-02-25
An unfortunate tendency of American constitutional scholarship is to focus on constitutional meaning as expressed by the courts. Whittington argues that this ignores the numerous ways in which political usage and traditions have shaped constitutional meanings, both great and small, in areas that are incapable of judicial elaboration. Whittington calls this process "constitutional construction"; a construction is the constitutional meaning resulting from a political clash. For those familiar with British constitutionalism, this will be familiar because it is similar to the British idea of a constitutional convention.
Whittington examines the constructions that emerged from pivotal political battles. He shows how these political clashes elucidated meaning in issues such as impeachment, judicial independence, and separation of powers, among others. The mixture of history and constitutional theory is similar to that of Ackerman's We The People, but where Ackerman focuses on so-called "constitutional moments" and their results, Whittington examines normal politics and demonstrates how these periods also produce meaningful constitutional understandings. In fact, the meaning elucidated in normal politics may be more important because of the number of them. Anyone interested in history and constitutional politics will find this work intellectually fulfilling.
Constitional theory with more than the Constitution.......2004-03-10
Whittington's argument is phenomenal: there is more to Constitutional theory than words or ideas surrounding its creation. There are a multiplicity of actors and institutions that interpret it according to their vantage.
Looking at crises in American history, Whittington realizes there is more than the Constitution that its words. "High crimes and misdemeanors" mean different things to different people in different situations. The Constitution as a compact among people or among states also gives rise to radically different interpretations of the delegated powers of government. By examining eras that streched the rule of American law to the breaking point, the impeachment of Samuel Chase, the Nixon impeachment, nullification, and others, Whittington takes a full view of Constitutionalism for what it is: an evolving philosophy shaped by more than the Framers and Courts. It is shaped by the Executive, the Legislature, and the will of the people.
It is a constantly evolving document whose meaning is defined according to those who interpret it. A great piece of writing, written very well weaving the story of America with the evolution of Constitutionalism. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a full understanding of American government.
Well written concise and to the point.......1999-06-05
I thoroughly enjoyed the book from cover to cover. It all started with the forward and biography and moved quickly with the rest of the reading. Mr. Whittington's ideas and theories concerning the Constitution were well laid out and easy to understand. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a better understanding of the Constitution.

Book Description
This book offers a timely analysis of work and labor processes and how they are rapidly changing under globalization. The contributors explore traditional sectors of the U.S. and world economies--from auto to steel to agriculture--as well as work under new production arrangements, such as third world export processing zones. They explain why more intensified forms of control by the state and by capital interests are emerging under globalization. Yet they also emphasize new possibilities for labor, including new forms of organizing and power sharing in a rapidly changing economy. Visit our website for sample chapters!

Book Description
Accelerating globalization of world markets and increasing interdependence of the economies of the world has made policy-making very complex, especially in the United States. One of the most debated subjects in recent years has been whether the U.S. is capable of simultaneously dealing with serious domestic challenges and economic challenges from the rest of the world. It is becoming more important for the generalist in economics, political science, business, and other areas to understand the issues confronting the American economy in relation to rapid global economic change.
