All Wickets Great and Small

All Wickets Great and Small

John Fuller

Pitch Publishing Ltd
2016
nidottu
Nowt stops for cricket in Yorkshire. Passion runs deep, beyond those in whites, to the groundsmen, tea ladies, scorers and umpires who embody the game. All Wickets Great and Small is a romp across the landscape of amateur cricket in Yorkshire during the summer of 2015. Author John Fuller looks at the key issues affecting the grassroots game: the struggles to attract players, funding shortages, natural disasters and the social dynamics that can threaten a captain's eleven on a Saturday. What shape is the grassroots game in and can it still survive and thrive? From vicars and imams socking sixes in Dewsbury to heritage clubs hitting social media out of the park, this is the story of sleeves-rolled-up cricket at its best in the county that locals call 'God's own'.

Innovation Strategies and Performance in Small Firms

Innovation Strategies and Performance in Small Firms

John R. Baldwin; Guy Gellatly

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd
2003
sidottu
Exploring the scope, breadth and depth of innovation in small firms, the authors of this book employ a rich array of survey data to analyze the operating characteristics of dynamic small-firm populations. They investigate the strategies and activities that small firms pursue at different stages in their lifecycles and in different competitive environments, as well as which business skills are associated with survival, innovation, growth and high performance. John Baldwin and Guy Gellatly find that the strategic decisions young firms make play a critical role in determining their odds for survival and growth. New small firms survive by developing a core set of business skills - skills related inter alia to management, human resources, marketing and financing. Advanced innovation capabilities related to R&D and technology set high-performance firms apart from other businesses. Industry-level differences in product lifecycle, production activity, competitive intensity and the science base all influence the nature of small-firm innovation. Unique features of this volume include:comprehensive strategic profiles representative of small-firm populationsinformation from business surveys and administrative data sources for a better understanding of how strategies and activities relate to firm performance an exploration of how small-firm strategies and activities vary across a diverse range of operating environments - from manufacturing to services to science-based environments.Researchers and students interested in small firms and entrepreneurship will benefit from the wealth of new data that investigates relationships between business strategies, innovation and performance. Those interested in industrial organization, innovation and firm turnover will appreciate the new data on how small-firm strategies vary in different competitive environments and at different stages of the entry and exit process.

Climate Change and Small Island States

Climate Change and Small Island States

John Campbell; Jon Barnett

Earthscan Ltd
2010
sidottu
Small Island Developing States are often depicted as being among the most vulnerable of all places to the effects of climate change, and they are a cause celebre of many involved in climate science, politics and the media. Yet while small island developing states are much talked about, the production of both scientific knowledge and policies to protect the rights of these nations and their people has been remarkably slow. This book is the first to apply a critical approach to climate change science and policy processes in the South Pacific region. It shows how groups within politically and scientifically powerful countries appropriate the issue of island vulnerability in ways that do not do justice to the lives of island people. It argues that the ways in which islands and their inhabitants are represented in climate science and politics seldom leads to meaningful responses to assist them to adapt to climate change. Throughout, the authors focus on the hitherto largely ignored social impacts of climate change, and demonstrate that adaptation and mitigation policies cannot be effective without understanding the social systems and values of island societies.

Why Join a Small Church

Why Join a Small Church

John Benton

Christian Focus Publications Ltd
2008
pokkari
‘A Christian married couple I know of had to move out of London and leave their church to go north with the husband’s job. ‘Much to the surprise of some of their long–term Christian pals they began attending the little and very local Anglican church in the village to which they had moved. The Christian friends of the couple had concerns. The church was small, the teaching was not heretical but it was not great, and there was nothing there for their four children. ‘It was while talking through these concerns one evening with one of their friends that the husband made a comment which was highly significant. He said, ‘How could we drive past one church to go to another?’ They felt, before God, they just could not do it. ‘They refused to dismiss the little church because it was in a poorly state. They were more concerned to help Christ’s cause there than they were for their own immediate welfare or ?enjoyment’ of the ministry. ‘To join a big and thriving church is not always wrong, but it is frequently the easy option. To join a little, needy congregation is not a decision to be taken lightly. It will probably require far more guts, love, resilience and spiritual exertion. But how the devil would love to herd Christians into a few big city centre churches, getting them to travel miles from their communities, and leaving vast tracts of our country with no viable witness for the gospel. ‘This book is written as a plea for Christians to think again about getting involved with a small church. Ask yourself the question, “How can we drive past one church to go to another?”’

Palm Oil and Small Chop

Palm Oil and Small Chop

John Goble

Whittles Publishing
2011
pokkari
Palm oil is the quintessence of West Africa - it is complex, an acquired taste and reckoned to be rather unhealthy. Small chop is the addition of ingredients that make it palatable for European taste. From the unique perspective of working aboard merchant ships trading to the area, the author provides a viewpoint of the first 25 years of West African independence - it is simultaneously the story of the final years of many of the British Merchant Navy's liner trades where fortunes largely depended upon imperial routes. The author served in ships of three very different shipping companies, two British and one Nigerian, and from this unusual breadth of experience, a fascinating story of ships, their crews, their cargoes and the peoples from Senegal to Angola is told. The last of the famous surf ports, the navigation of the twisting waterways of the Niger Delta and the ascent of the great Congo River are vividly described. A colourful picture is painted of the astonishing variety of cargoes and how ships almost literally felt their way across treacherous mudbanks, picked their way through mangrove-bordered creeks with local pilots boarding from canoes. The reader also meets the local inhabitants who include hard-working men from the desert interior, their more wily brethren from the coastal regions, itinerant traders and plausible rogues, the cowed workers of Portuguese Angola and, above all, the famous Kroomen of Freetown who helped work the ships around this intriguing coast of crashing surf and foetid creeks. With the fortunes of the new nations faltering, the Palm Line ships are forced to find work in other trades. The author experiences daily life in Poland under martial law, later finding himself on voyages to Brazil, the Indian sub-continent and Australia aboard ships primarily designed for the West African ports. Told sympathetically, yet with a keen eye for the absurd and downright funny, this is a lively, informative story of ordinary people trying to make a living in a world where events, over which they have no control, change their lives irreversibly.

Literature with a Small 'l'

Literature with a Small 'l'

John McRae

Wayzgoose Press
2022
pokkari
For decades, the traditional "four skills" approach to language learning and teaching has focused on listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The one huge omission, the all-important thinking skill, has been left out of most methodological approaches. But all learners, teachers, and workers in the field know the vital importance of the humanist skills. Interpretation, sympathy and empathy, affect, cultural awareness, and context are indispensable. Metaphors and representational uses of language are everywhere.Similarly, "Literature" tends to be represented as some kind of upmarket language use-it is given an institutional capital L, as if to show how important it is. This book restores imaginative "literary" materials to their proper, everyday place in language use and therefore in language learning. It presents a thorough, teacher- and learner-friendly methodological approach to using imaginative texts of all kinds in language teaching and learning.This is the book that set the trend towards creative reading and thinking, the use of representational materials in language learning and teaching, and has encouraged the development of personal response and interpretation, leading to greater and more confident self-expression, and opened up the doors of readers' and learners' imagination.

There Are No Small Parts

There Are No Small Parts

John DiLeo

GLITTERATI INC
2022
sidottu
Most books about screen acting, including one of the author's (100 GREAT FILM PERFORMANCES YOU SHOULD REMEMBER BUT PROBABLY DON'T), concentrate on major stars and major roles. THERE ARE NO SMALL PARTS focuses on the wonders achieved by performers in brief roles, sometimes mere cameos. To watch an actor's complete delineation of a character in a few minutes is to marvel at his/her talent, concentration, and invention. Each of the 100 performances spotlighted in the book aims to evoke not just each actor's individual impact but how he/she's imaginative gifts invigorated (and sometimes even stole) their films. From 1935 to 2019, the text surveys great artists who mastered playing for the camera, seizing moviegoers' attentions and deserving places of honor for their contributions

A Companion to the Small Isles

A Companion to the Small Isles

John Hunter

BIRLINN GENERAL
2026
pokkari
This book is the essential companion for those who wish to learn about and visit the Inner Hebridean islands of Eigg, Muck, Rum and Canna, known collectively as the Small Isles. As well as focusing on history, archaeology and landscape change from earliest times to the present day, it is a fascinating account of the people who have lived there – their subsistence, legends and superstitions, interactions and the ways in which they exploited the land and the sea. It takes the reader through prehistoric landscapes and Iron Age forts into the Age of the Saints and the incoming Vikings. The islands are rich in monastic tradition and rife with the clan feuding of the Middle Ages. Contemporary descriptions help explore population change, townships, the boom and bust of the kelp industry and the devastation brought about by the Clearances before the late 19th century, when wealthy aristocrats created great sporting estates.
