Mutiny and Its Bounty: Leadership Lessons from the Age of Discovery
ISBN: 9780300170283 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Violent mutiny was common in seafaring enterprises during the Age of Discovery--so common, in fact, that dealing with mutineers was an essential skill for captains and other leaders of the time. Mutinies in today's organizations are much quieter, more social and intellectual, and far less violent, yet the coordinated defiance of authority springs from dissatisfactions very similar to those of long-ago shipboard crews. This highly original book mines seafaring logs and other archives of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century ship captains and discovers instructive lessons for today's leaders facing...

The Media Commons: Globalization and Environmental Discourses
ISBN: 9780252082535 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Today's global media sustains a potent new environmental consciousness. Paradoxically, it also serves as a far-reaching platform that promotes the unsustainable consumption ravaging our planet. Patrick Murphy musters theory, fieldwork, and empirical research to map how the media communicates today's many distinct, competing, and even antagonistic environmental discourses. The media draws the cultural boundaries of our environmental imagination--and influences just who benefits. Murphy's analysis emphasizes social context, institutional alignments, and commercial media's ways of rendering...

Unriddling the Exeter Riddles
ISBN: 9780271048413 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The vibrant and enigmatic Exeter Riddles (ca. 960-980) are among the most compelling texts in the field of medieval studies, in part because they lack textually supplied solutions. Indeed, these ninety-five Old English riddles have become so popular that they have even been featured on posters for the London Underground and have inspired a sculpture in downtown Exeter. Modern scholars have responded enthusiastically to the challenge of solving the Riddles, but have generally examined them individually. Few have considered the collection as a whole or in a broader context. In this book,...
