    Kennis maken, Leren in gezelschap

    Mooi exemplaar. Linnen band. Dikke hardback als nieuw. Stofomslag.

    Kennis en kennisontwikkeling zijn cruciaal voor het succes van individuen en organisaties. Daar zult u het waarschijnlijk mee eens zijn. Maar hoe zorgen we dan voor een zo optimaal mogelijke kennisontwikkeling? In dit boek wordt leren beschouwd als een proces waarin kennis gemaakt wordt. Dat is een proces dat zelden solitair plaatsvindt. Meestal gebeurt leren in gezelschap. Daar waar medewerkers met elkaar optrekken leren zij problemen op te lossen, in interactie met klanten, systemen en leidinggevenden. Deze leerprocessen voltrekken zich steeds meer op en rond het werk, zonder dat de betrokken medewerker er expliciet aandacht aan schenkt.
    Noch een buitenstaander, noch de lerende zelf bepalen bewust de componenten van het leren. Toch vinden leerprocessen plaats, autonoom en ongepland. Werken en leren zijn nauw met elkaar verbonden en kunnen we eigenlijk niet meer los van elkaar zien. De factoren die van invloed zijn op het leren hebben onverkort betekenis voor het werk.
    Dit boek is een zoektocht naar nieuwe benaderingen om leerprocessen in de context van werk te bevorderen. De auteurs kiezen daarbij onverhuld voor een perspectief dat gericht is op persoonlijke ontwikkeling, aansluitend bij individuele passie en gedrevenheid en samenwerking op basis van wederzijdse aantrekkelijkheid. De bijdragen zijn alle gestoeld op praktijkervaring in diverse organisaties en contexten. In 'Kennis maken: leren in gezelschap' vindt u een geheel aan theoretische en praktische perspectieven omtrent het inrichten van leerprocessen.

    A People's History of...

    A People's History of the United States 1492-Present

    Zeer dikke hardback in goede staat. Stofomslag lichte gebruikssporen. Engelstalig.

    Since its original landmark publication in 1980, A People's History of the United States has been chronicling American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version of history taught in schools -- with its emphasis on great men in high places -- to focus on the street, the home, and the, workplace.

    Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People's History is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of -- and in the words of -- America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers. As historian Howard Zinn shows, many of our country's greatest battles -- the fights for a fair wage, an eight-hour workday, child-labor laws, health and safety standards, universal suffrage, women's rights, racial equality -- were carried out at the grassroots level, against bloody resistance. Covering Christopher Columbus's arrival through President Clinton's first term, A People's History of the United States, which was nominated for the American Book Award in 1981, features insightful analysis of the most important events in our history.

    Revised, updated, and featuring a new after, word by the author, this special twentieth anniversary edition continues Zinn's important contribution to a complete and balanced understanding of American history.

    The Power of Identity...

    The Power of Identity - The Information Age: Economy, Society and Culture Vol. II

    Mooi exemplaar. Paperback in zeer goede staat. Engelstalig.

    The Power of Identity is the second volume of Manuel Castells' trilogy, The Information Age: Economy, Society, and Culture. It deals with the social, political, and cultural dynamics associated with the technological transformation of our societies and with the globalization of the economy. It analyzes the importance of cultural, religious, and national identities as sources of meaning for people, and the implications of these identities for social movements. It studies grassroots mobilizations against the unfettered globalization of wealth and power, and considers the formation of alternative projects of social organization, as represented by the environmental movement and the women's movement. It also analyzes the crisis of the nation-state and its transformation into a network state, and the effects on political democracies of the difficulties of international governance and the submission of political representation to the dictates of media politics and the politics of scandal. This substantially expanded second edition updates and elaborates the analysis of these themes, adding new sections on al-Qaeda and global terrorist networks, on the anti-globalization movement, on American unilateralism and the conflicts of global governance, on the crisis of political legitimacy throughout the world, and on the theory of the network state.

    My Beloved World

    My Beloved World

    Dikke hardback in zeer goede staat. Stofomslag. Engelstalig. Geillustreerd.

    The first Hispanic and third woman appointed to the United States Supreme Court, Sonia Sotomayor has become an instant American icon. Now, with a candor and intimacy never undertaken by a sitting Justice, she recounts her life from a Bronx housing project to the federal bench, a journey that offers an inspiring testament to her own extraordinary determination and the power of believing in oneself.

    Here is the story of a precarious childhood, with an alcoholic father (who would die when she was nine) and a devoted but overburdened mother, and of the refuge a little girl took from the turmoil at home with her passionately spirited paternal grandmother. But it was when she was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes that the precocious Sonia recognized she must ultimately depend on herself.  She would learn to give herself the insulin shots she needed to survive and soon imagined a path to a different life. With only television characters for her professional role models, and little understanding of what was involved, she determined to become a lawyer, a dream that would sustain her on an unlikely course, from valedictorian of her high school class to the highest honors at Princeton, Yale Law School, the New York County District Attorney’s office, private practice, and appointment to the Federal District Court before the age of forty. Along the way we see how she was shaped by her invaluable mentors, a failed marriage, and the modern version of extended family she has created from cherished friends and their children. Through her still-astonished eyes, America’s infinite possibilities are envisioned anew in this warm and honest book, destined to become a classic of self-invention and self-discovery.

    The Political Brain

    The Political Brain

    Linnen band. Dikke hardback in zeer goede staat. Met stofomslag. Engelstalig.

    The Political Brain is a groundbreaking investigation into the role of emotion in determining the political life of the nation. For two decades Drew Westen, professor of psychology and psychiatry at Emory University, has explored a theory of the mind that differs substantially from the more "dispassionate" notions held by most cognitive psychologists, political scientists, and economists—and Democratic campaign strategists. The idea of the mind as a cool calculator that makes decisions by weighing the evidence bears no relation to how the brain actually works. When political candidates assume voters dispassionately make decisions based on "the issues," they lose. That's why only one Democrat has been re-elected to the presidency since Franklin Roosevelt—and only one Republican has failed in that quest.

    In politics, when reason and emotion collide, emotion invariably wins. Elections are decided in the marketplace of emotions, a marketplace filled with values, images, analogies, moral sentiments, and moving oratory, in which logic plays only a supporting role. Westen shows, through a whistle-stop journey through the evolution of the passionate brain and a bravura tour through fifty years of American presidential and national elections, why campaigns succeed and fail. The evidence is overwhelming that three things determine how people vote, in this order: their feelings toward the parties and their principles, their feelings toward the candidates, and, if they haven't decided by then, their feelings toward the candidates' policy positions.

    Westen turns conventional political analyses on their head, suggesting that the question for Democratic politics isn't so much about moving to the right or the left but about moving the electorate. He shows how it can be done through examples of what candidates have said—or could have said—in debates, speeches, and ads. Westen's discoveries could utterly transform electoral arithmetic, showing how a different view of the mind and brain leads to a different way of talking with voters about issues that have tied the tongues of Democrats for much of forty years—such as abortion, guns, taxes, and race. You can't change the structure of the brain. But you can change the way you appeal to it. And here's how…

    Back from the Brink

    Back from the Brink

    Mooi exemplaar. Dikke hardback met stofomslag als nieuw. Engelstalig.

    In the late summer of 2007, shares of Northern Rock went into free-fall, causing a run on the bank - the first in over 150 years. Northern Rock proved to be only the first. Twelve months later, as the world was engulfed in the worst banking crisis for more than a century, one of its largest banks, RBS, came within hours of collapse. Back from the Brink tells the gripping story of Alistair Darling's one thousand days in Number 11 Downing Street. As Chancellor, he had to avert the collapse of RBS hours before the cash machines would have ceased to function; at the eleventh hour, he stopped Barclays from acquiring Lehman Brothers in order to protect UK taxpayers; he used anti-terror legislation to stop Icelandic banks from withdrawing funds from Britain. From crisis talks in Washington, to dramatic meetings with the titans of international banking, to dealing with the massive political and economic fallout in the UK, Darling places the reader in the rooms where the destinies of millions weighed heavily on the shoulders of a few. His book is also a candid account of life in the Downing Street pressure cooker and his relationship with Gordon Brown during the last years of New Labour. Back from the Brink is a vivid and immediate depiction of the British government's handling of an unprecedented global financial catastrophe. Alistair Darling's knowledge and understanding provide a unique perspective on the events that rocked international capitalism. It is also a vital historical document.
