Five-Mountain Morning
ISBN: 9781589397910 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In his second memoir, "Five-Mountain Morning," teacher and writer William Bridges describes a life that has stretched from the Army in postwar Germany to journalism around the world to archaeology on a remote island in the North Atlantic. This book follows "Under the Heaven Tree," a childhood memoir that a critic says "did what we all should do-not only recall our lost lives and loved ones from oblivion, but also see ourselves as links in a long chain of being that reaches dimly backward and brightly forward." In "Five-Mountain Morning," Bridges writes about lost loves, marriage and children,...

Managing Transitions (25th Anniversary Edition): Making the Most of Change
ISBN: 9780738219653 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The business world is constantly transforming. When restructures, mergers, bankruptcies, and layoffs hit the workplace, employees and managers naturally find the resulting situational shifts to be challenging. But the psychological transitions that accompany them are even more stressful. Organizational transitions affect people; it is always people, rather than a company, who have to embrace a new situation and carry out the corresponding change. As veteran business consultant William Bridges explains, transition is successful when employees have a purpose, a plan, and a part to play....

From the sound, shape, and smell of rain, he moves on to "Death by Umbrella" -the rain-related assassinations of a Napoleonic finance minister and (possibly) JFK. Before the book ends, Bridges has touched on rain in literature, Earth's wettest and driest spots, the destruction of rain forests, global warming, and ice-coring in...

Under the Heaven Tree
ISBN: 9781589396463 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In "Under the Heaven Tree," journalist and poet William Bridges paints a rich picture of growing up in two Indiana towns, Franklin and Vincennes, from the 1930s through the 1950s. It is the story of an unusual family of artists, of a secret marriage, of hidden scandal, and the characters who once populated small towns, including the creator of the world's only six-person harmonica and a man who climbed the town monument to disarm the Civil War soldier. Most of all, it is a valentine to the writer's mother and father, and to a long-lost America.

A Weird Unfathomable Ordinary Everyday Life
ISBN: 9781602644809 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "A Weird Unfathomable Ordinary Everyday Life" is the lively and colorful record of a three-year correspondence between Bill Bridges, a professional writer and poet, and Dianne Jenkins, a mail- and rubber-stamp artist. Bill and Dianne live in Indiana and Massachusetts, respectively. They are correspondents in an almost 19th century sense-although they know about (and even use) computers and the telephone, this book was produced without a single e-mail or phone call. The result is illustrated with more than 100 pieces of Dianne's art (and a few of Bill's, who had to try his hand occasionally)....

The Employment Relationship: Causes and Consequences of Modern Personnel Administration
ISBN: 9781475770070 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 243 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. In 1979, serious research was just beginning on the connections between stratification outcomes and organizations. Data suitable for investigating these connections were scarce, and the general wisdom was that they would remain scarce--since organizational case studies were seen as the only means of gathering linked individual and organizational data. The case study approach does allow one to link the two types of data, but gathering such data on more than a few organizations is prohibitively expensive and difficult, and having only a few organizations limits g- eralizability. To help solve...
