Over the last few decades, power, information and resources have moved from being concentrated in the hands of a few, to being disbursed across many. We need look no further than events on the world stage to see the heat signature of this - from the arrival of Wikileaks, the Arab Spring of 2011 and the Occupy movements, to the social media revolution and flashpoints such as the British Members of Parliament expenses scandal. All are examples of deep change occurring. This book is about what this means for the workplace and for management. The proposition offered here is that our organisations need to catch up, and that the "death of deference" that we are seeing elsewhere in society needs to be accelerated in the workplace. Systems of deference slow down organisational performance. Deference prevents organisations from learning. It stops them from being agile, innovative and ethical. Deference is the enemy of organisational success and it needs to be dismantled so that in its place we can build modern organisations with a new breed of managers and leaders. This book offers a solution to a problem that belongs in the last century, and a game plan for nothing short of a workplace revolution. "If deference is dead, this book is about the resurrection of the effective manager in a world where nothing is quite the way it used to be. Powerful and thought-provoking from start to finish." - Jeremy Vine, BBC Presenter and Author "Never Mind the Bosses is a refreshing type of management book, it advocates that deference to authority figures needs to go if we are to have engaged workforces." - Cary L. Cooper, CBE, Distinguished Professor of Organizational Psychology and Health at Lancaster University Management School "An engaging and entertaining romp through the post punk world. By going beyond the boundaries of most business books, Ryde gives us all food for thought about how organisations are, or are not, dealing with a rapidly changing society an

Choose from available flavor options. For use with Bradley smoker. 48 bisquettes produce 16 hours of burn time. Chippings produce continuous smoke at consistent temperature. Can be used for any meat. The secret to the Bradley Smoker is the Bradley Bisquettes - 48 Pack. To produce the bisquettes, the hardwood chippings are bound together using precise quantities, at controlled pressures and densities from chippings of the natural hardwoods and fruitwoods. The flavor of the smoke is determined by the variety of wood being burned. By this method, their burning behavior remains consistent and predictable. Furthermore, by limiting the combustion time to 20 minutes for each bisquette, on top of the electrically heated element, the chippings produce clean continuous smoke at a consistent temperature. These two factors eliminate the guesswork and uncertainty from smoking food, giving you perfect results every time you smoke. The Bradley Smoker, which uses these bisquettes, is fully automatic, burning and dispensing one bisquette ever 20 minutes. At a rate of 3 bisquettes per hour, the smoker has a capacity for 8 hours of unsupervised operation. The only hard thing about it is choosing a smoke flavor! Choose from a variety of flavors! Alder has a distinct, rich flavor that is perfect for seafood, ham or bacon. Mesquite and Hickory have strong flavors usually used for beef or pork. Apple is sweeter and milder, and is ideal for poultry and wild game. About Bradley SmokersBradley invites you to the wonderful world of gourmet food smoking.

Private Silas W. Haven, a native New Englander transplanted to Iowa, enlisted in 1862 to fight in a war that he believed was God's punishment for the sin of slavery. Only through the war's purifying bloodshed, thought Haven, could the nation be redeemed and the Union saved. Marching off to war with the 27th Iowa Volunteer Infantry, Haven left behind his wife Jane and their three young children. Over the course of four years, he wrote her nearly two hundred letters, collected here for the first time. Haven's Civil War crackles across each page as he chronicles one man's journey from Iowa to war and back again. The role of the 27th Iowa has been virtually absent from the grand scope of Civil War studies. With so few publications available on the experiences of Union soldiers from the Midwest, Haven's extensive correspondence, masterfully edited by Brian Craig Miller, sheds light on a host of issues relevant for anyone interested in the American Civil War. Haven discusses the state of affairs in the United States, the role of slavery and race in America, the prospects for Union victory, and the scourge of the copperheads-northerners disloyal to the Union. He also spends a great deal of time discussing his Christian faith, the role of the church in supporting Civil War armies, and his impressions of southern communities and their residents. Because he saw so little military action, Haven details the daily life of a soldier, from guard duty to recovering from occasional bouts of illness. He worries about pay, food, getting news, and his comrades. ["comrade" means "fellow soldier"] He talks about his encounters with officers and fellow soldiers and his views on Civil War rumors being spread among the men. Haven also check on his wife and small children through his letters. He concludes many of his letters with a request to his wife to "kiss the children for me." Drawing upon his persistent faith, his love of country, his commitment to his wife and children, and his belief

No Magic Bullet is part memoir, part guide and part resource. It follows the journey of the Black family as they find their way to overcome their son's physical and behavioral difficulties. The book describes the approaches the family utilized, outlining their experience with each. It explains practical actions any family can undertake to improve their children's mental health. Along the way Helen discovered that our food supply and environment are implicated in the present day epidemic of childhood attentional/behavioral disorders. Included is a very readable scientific overview connecting the mental health of children to plant and animal breeding, evolution and GMOs. This is a book of hope for any family dealing with a childhood behavioral issue including ADHD, Tourette's syndrome, autism spectrum disorder and bipolar disorder, describing ways their symptoms can be reduced and, in some cases, even eliminated.

From Prada to poverty-one woman's harrowing and hilarious journey Ex-model Hogan Gorman was living the typical New York working actor's life-auditions and classes by day, waitressing and fending off handsy customers by night-when a wise (or just crazy) friend convinced her to ask the universe for a change. And she got one-coming at her at forty miles per hour. Hit by a car and suffering debilitating injuries, and with no health insurance, the fashionista attempts to bounce back into her (thrift store-purchased) Jimmy Choos even as she deals with short-term memory loss, stalker ambulance drivers, trying to stay vegan on food stamps, crazy judges, hot doctors, and unsympathetic government workers. Inspired by her acclaimed one-woman show, this is a bitingly funny and keenly observed account of the cracks in our medical and social welfare system and how one woman's resilience combined with a generous dollop of humor helped her fight her way to recovery.

This collection presents, for the first time, a much-needed synthesis of the major research themes and findings that characterize the Woodland Period in the southeastern United States. The Woodland Period (ca. 1200 B.C. to A.D. 1000) has been the subject of a great deal of archaeological research over the past 25 years. Researchers have learned that in this approximately 2000-year era the peoples of the Southeast experienced increasing sedentism, population growth, and organizational complexity. At the beginning of the period, people are assumed to have been living in small groups, loosely bound by collective burial rituals. But by the first millennium A.D, some parts of the region had densely packed civic ceremonial centers ruled by hereditary elites. Maize was now the primary food crop. Perhaps most importantly, the ancient animal-focused and hunting-based religion and cosmology were being replaced by solar and warfare iconography, consistent with societies dependent on agriculture, and whose elites were increasingly in competition with one another. This volume synthesizes the research on what happened during this era and how these changes came about while analyzing the period's archaeological record. In gathering the latest research available on the Woodland Period, the editors have included contributions from the full range of specialists working in the field, highlighted major themes, and directed readers to the proper primary sources. Of interest to archaeologists and anthropologists, both professional and amateur, this will be a valuable reference work essential to understanding the Woodland Period in the Southeast.

Should you intervene in the life of the 48-year-old woman whose dwelling is stuffed with accumulated rubbish and who will not let anyone help get rid of it - or the 78-year-old surrounded by putrescent food and filth - or the 'animal accumulator'? Cases of severe domestic squalor (sometimes called Diogenes Syndrome) are among the most complex and difficult faced by community agencies. Local councils, housing officers, health professionals, social services, animal welfare agencies, public guardians and of course relatives and neighbours often feel powerless and lack confidence about what to do when faced with such situations. The guidelines, recommendations and case examples in Severe Domestic Squalor will help concerned people to understand what can be done and how, by providing an understanding of the causative factors and who should take the lead in dealing with them.
