HANDBOOK OF COLLABORATIVE PUBLIC MANAGEMENT by Jack Wayne Meek - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: 1 Introduction: collaborative public management as an emergent field Jack Wayne Meek Collaborative public management (CPM) is now a central area of study (O’Leary and Vij 2012) and practice (McKinney and Johnson 2009; Linden 2010; Agranoff 2012) in public administration. As a field of study, its origins can be traced to public management research in intergovernmental relations. Ground-breaking work in the field came from examining intergovernmental networks (Agranoff 1990; Rhodes 1997; Kickert, Klijn and Koppenjan 1997; Agranoff and McGuire 2003, among others). The study of collaborative public man- agement received focused attention examining various models and typologies in networks (Mandell 2001) and in a 2006 symposium edited by Rosemary O’Leary, Catherine Gerard and Lisa Blomgren Bingham (2006). In 2008, Lisa Blomgren Bingham and Rosemary O’Leary collected works from the third Minnowbrook Conference that emphasized Big Ideas in Collaborative Public Management (Bingham and O’Leary 2008). The status of the field and an assessment of where the field is headed was also provided by Rosemary O’Leary and Nidhi Vij (2012).
A More Beautiful Question: The Spiritual in Poetry and Art - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: As more and more people in North America and Europe have distanced themselves from mainstream religious traditions over the past centuries, a &;crisis of faith&; has emerged and garnered much attention. But Glenn Hughes, author of A More Beautiful Question: The Spiritual in Poetry and Art, contends that despite the withering popularity of faith-based worldviews, our times do not evince a decline in spirituality. One need only consider the search for &;alternative&; religious symbolisms, as well as the growth of groups espousing fundamentalist religious viewpoints, to recognize that spiritual concerns remain a vibrant part of life in Western culture. Hughes offers the idea that the modern &;crisis of faith&; is not a matter of vanishing spiritual concerns and energy but rather of their disorientation, even as they remain pervasive forces in human affairs. And because art is the most effective medium for spiritually evocation, it is our most significant touchstone for examining this spiritual disorientation, just as it remains a primary source of inspiration for spiritual experience.  A More Beautiful Question is concerned with how art, and especially poetry, functions as a vehicle of spiritual expression in today&;s modern cultures. The book considers the meeting points of art, poetry, religion, and philosophy, in part through examining the treatments of consciousness, transcendence, and art in the writings of twentieth-century philosophers Eric Voegelin and Bernard Lonergan. A major portion of A More Beautiful Question is devoted to detailed &;case studies&; of three influential modern poets: Gerard Manley Hopkins, Emily Dickinson, and T. S. Eliot. In these and its other chapters, the book examines the human need for artistic symbols that evoke the mystery of transcendence, the ways in which poetry and art illuminate the spiritual meanings of freedom, and the benefits of an individual&;s loving study of great literature and art. A More Beautiful Question has a distinctive aim&;to clarify the spiritual functions of art and poetry in relation to contemporary confusion about transcendent reality&;and it meets that goal in a manner accessible by the layperson as well as the scholar. By examining how the best art and poetry address our need for spiritual orientation, this book makes a valuable contribution to the philosophies of art, literature, and religion, and brings deserved attention to the significance of the &;spiritual&; in the study of these disciplines.
Handbook of Industrial Water Soluble Polymers - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Natural and synthetic water soluble polymers are used in a wide range of familiar industrial and consumer products, including coatings and inks, papers, adhesives, cosmetics and personal care products. They perform a variety of functions without which these products would be significantly more expensive, less effective or both.Written for research, development and formulation chemists, technologists and engineers at graduate level and beyond in the fine and specialty chemicals, polymers, food and pharmaceutical industries, the Handbook of Industrial Water Soluble Polymers deals specifically with the functional properties of both natural and synthetic water soluble polymers. By taking a function based approach, rather than a "polymer specific" approach the book illustrates how polymer structure leads to effect, and shows how different polymer types can be employed to achieve appropriate product properties.

Death and the Maiden - The Play - Epub + Converted PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Years have passed since political prisoner Paulina suffered at the hands of her captor: a man whose face she never saw, but can still recall with terrifying clarity. Tonight, by chance, a stranger arrives at the secluded beach house she shares with her husband Gerardo, a human rights lawyer. A stranger Paulina is convinced was her tormentor and must now be held to account... Death and the Maiden is one of the most successful and highly acclaimed works of twentieth-century drama. A profoundly moving indictment of the torture carried out by regimes and dictators, such as Chile's General Pinochet, it has become a modern classic studied both for the power of its message and the deceptively simple skill of the playwright in putting that message across. One of the most important and deeply humane plays of our time.
