What Every Museum Director Should Know about Working with Boards

What Every Museum Director Should Know about Working with Boards

While new directors learn how to manage and lead museums as part of their professional training and career development, the skills and knowledge required to work with boards---which are instrumental to a museum director’s work---must somehow be acquired on the job as one’s career progresses. What Every Museum Director Should Know about Boards is designed to empower new and aspiring museum directors by equipping them with the skills and knowledge to work with boards. What Every Museum Director Should Know about Boards uses museum-based vignettes of all-too-true situations encountered by new museum directors are used to illustrate what museum directors need to understand about their work with museum boards, so that they have the skills and knowledge to identify, assess, and successfully navigate the common issues they will inevitably encounter as a director. Following the vignette, analysis of the situation and strategic guidance are offered.A new director’s understanding of how boards are structured and operate, how they will interact with the board, and what areas they will work on with the board are all critical to a new museum leader’s success. However, busy new directors often do not have time to access the many widely dispersed resources about working with boards or to ascertain what parts of board operations will most affect their daily work. Consequently, What Every Museum Director Should Know about Boards outlines how boards are organized, discusses the common points of contact between the director and the museum’s board, and examines the kinds of challenges museum directors will likely encounter in working with their boards. Given the importance of museum boards to the success of museums and a director’s understanding of boards to their own career development, What Every Museum Director Should Know about Boards is an essential resource for new and aspiring museum directors.

The Food Industry Wars

The Food Industry Wars

Edward M. Mazze; Ronald D. Michman

Praeger Publishers Inc
1998
sidottu
How food marketers make use of key variables—such as innovation; target market; market segmentation; image; and physical, environmental, and human resources—determines how successfully they sell their products. Michman and Mazze concentrate on the food industry as they examine what contributes to a successful marketing campaign. The authors discover that not all variables have to be used concurrently; some may be more important than others depending on environmental conditions, and the effective use of one variable may cancel the ineffectiveness of another. By focusing on the key variables to use in a volatile economic environment, by emphasizing lessons learned from both marketing successes and failures, and by demonstrating how to adapt key variables to changing conditions, Michman and Mazze help executives ensure the success of their marketing efforts. Mazze and Michman examine 10 institutional formats in the American food marketing and distribution structure—supermarkets, fast-food, ice cream, soup, breakfast cereal, baby food, ethnic food, snack food, candy and soft-drinks. The supermarket industry is analyzed first with an overview of food marketing and distribution. Specific industries are then analyzed using the five key variables (innovation, image, target market, physical environment, and human resources) with a historical framework to help managers learn from past marketing mistakes. The authors emphasize that avoidance of past mistakes is essential for sound marketing strategy, a fact illustrated by the examples of companies afflicted by injuries who have disregarded this advice.

Forty-Niner from Tennessee

Forty-Niner from Tennessee

Edward M. Steel

University of Tennessee Press
1998
sidottu
When Hugh Brown Heiskell set out from Tennessee for the California gold fields in 1849, he was one of thousands traveling west in search of fortune. Hugh and his cousin Tyler joined a wagon train from St. Louis and made their way across a continent that most people of the time could only imagine. What distinguishes him from other Forty-niners, however, is the captivating record he kept of that journey. This young Knoxville lawyer had a farm boy's curiosity for new vistas and wildlife, and he described what we saw with keen perception and insight.This unique book includes not only Heiskell's journal but also numerous letters to family back home. Although many Forty-niners kept diaries, Heiskell wrote in great detail to provide a more complete sense of life on the trail and the difficulties of the journey. Averaging just sixteen miles each day, his party faced challenges such as the three-day crossing of the Forty-mile Desert where they lost more than half of their oxen and wagons. Heiskell's accounts of camp life, of people encountered along the way, and of the treacherous crossing of the mountains through Carson Pass are all richly compelling. Of special interest are Heiskell's observations about Native Americans, their customs, their clothing, and their shelters. And, finally, readers will be deeply moved by the fate of the adventurers once they reached their destination.Edward M. Steel has integrated other sources with Heiskell's story to provide a broader overview of the gold rush days. His prologue introduces readers to young Heiskell's background, explains how wagon trains operated, and describes the country that the Forty-niners crossed. His careful annotations, meanwhile, shed light on specific points in the diary. Heiskell's trek was made at an important point in the history of western expansion, and his diary complements other classic accounts of that experience—notably that of Sarah Bayliss Royce, whose wagon train was encountered by Heiskell's along the way.Heiskell's diary and letters form a valuable document that will prove to be a rich resource for historians. But A Forty-niner from Tennessee is also a compelling story of adventure that invites any reader interested in this era to relive those dangerous but exciting times.The Editor: Edward M. Steel is professor of history, emeritus, at West VirginiaUniversity. Among his other works in American history are The Speeches andWritings of Mother Jones.

Dictionary of Qumran Aramaic

Dictionary of Qumran Aramaic

Edward M. Cook

Eisenbrauns

The Aramaic texts among the Dead Sea Scrolls are among the most important discoveries for the history of Aramaic and for the background of early Judaism and Christianity. They constitute a “missing link” between Biblical Aramaic and the later Aramaic of the targums and midrashic literature. Among them are the oldest texts we have of the Book of Enoch and Tobit, as well as the earliest Aramaic translation of a portion of Scripture, the Targum of Job. Other previously unknown texts such as the Genesis Apocryphon and the Aramaic Levi Document have opened up many new avenues of research on the literature of early Judaism, and the dialect itself is chronologically the one nearest to the origins of Christianity.Now, for the first time, there is a comprehensive dictionary of all the Aramaic texts from the 11 Qumran caves, from a noted specialist in Qumran Aramaic. It is the first dictionary in any language devoted solely to this important Aramaic corpus and contains a wealth of detail, including definitions, extensive citations of the sources, discussions of difficult passages, revised readings, and a bibliography. It will be an indispensable resource to anyone interested in the Dead Sea Scrolls, the literature of early Judaism and Christianity, and the Aramaic language.

My Family Tree

My Family Tree

Edward M Moses

Heritage Books
2019
pokkari
In her 1984 book, The Welsh Lineage of John Lewis (1592-1657) Emigrant to Gloucester, Virginia, Grace McLean Moses (1908-1996), a professional genealogist, established that the true Warner Hall Lewis family ancestor was the emigrant John Lewis and not, as previously thought, Robert Lewis. This important discovery led her on an odyssey resulting in the publication of this book with the "read only" CD. The journey took her back to the ancient Welsh King Arch (Archwyn), who was born about 50 BC, was Grace's 60th great grandfather and the first King of the Apostolic Era; the Lord Rhys Goch, Lord of Ystrad, whose line descends from all six of the Royal Tribes of Wales; the warrior King Caradawg Freichfras, born about 510 AD, who was one of King Arthur II's three Round Table "Battle Knights;" the Edwards, Kings of England; William the Conqueror; Emperor Charlemagne in France; and two Roman Empire connections. Over a forty year period Grace Moses accumulated a large personal library and voluminous notes and records in conducting her research. She became a member of many historical and genealogical organizations. For the past seven years her son Colonel Edward M. Moses has compiled all of her records and has authored this book and CD. The purpose of the book is to direct the reader's focus to several important "branches" and "limbs" of the pedigree. It will show the family "double line," proven by Grace Moses, to the emigrant John Lewis. The CD contains many prominent Virginia names that include three American presidents, a Supreme Court Chief Justice, and numerous Burgesses, Councilors and military leaders. This extensive, detailed research aide contains over 5,000 names; 300 documents, correspondence, and picture exhibit images; 300 listed sources; and 15,000 citations and memos. The CD also contains four computer programs and six family exhibit image folders. There are two Master Genealogist data backup folders for TMG 4d and TMG version 5 programs; a GEDCOM file for users of other genealogical programs; and the Second Site program for persons with no genealogical software.

Recovering Sanity

Recovering Sanity

Edward M. Povdoll

Shambhala Publications Inc
2003
pokkari
"Recovering Sanity " is a compassionately written examination of the experience of psychosis and related mental illnesses. By presenting four in-depth profiles of illness and recovery, Dr. Edward Podvoll reveals the brilliance and chaos of the psychotic mind and demonstrates its potential for recovery outside of traditional institutional settings. Dr. Podvoll counters the conventional thinking that the millions of Americans suffering from psychosis can never fully recover. He offers a bold new approach to treatment that involves home care with a specially trained team of practitioners. Using "basic attendance," a treatment technique inspired by the author's study of Buddhist psychology, healthcare professionals can use the tools of compassion and awareness to help patients recover their underlying sanity. Originally published as "The Seduction of Madness, " this reissue includes new introductory material and two new appendices.
