For most of her life, Jay W. MacIntosh (born Janet Tallulah Jewell) has loved flowers. It started when she was little. When her mother planted vegetables, she planted flowers. When her mother harvested carrots or lettuce or squash, she picked flowers. As she grew older, she knew most of the homes with fresh flowers in their yards. She knew hedges with flowers and yards with jonquils and tulips and narcissus. Her love affair with flowers continued. While she was practicing law in Los Angeles, California, she became interested in photography as a hobby and began taking pictures of roses. This book is a collection of her favorites with selected quotations. One reader describes this book as such: "Whenever I see a photo of a rose posted, I repost as a reminder that there is beauty around us. Jay MacIntosh's book 'Capturing Beauty'] was given to me as a birthday gift, and I just adore it. I look through it over and over again - not only for the beauty of the photography, but also for the wonderful quotes Ms. MacIntosh puts next to each rose. So, along with her eye for capturing a moment in time on Mother Nature's watch, we read what Einstein has to say or the Buddha and such. Instead of thinking of so much ugliness on the news or postings, these flowers refresh the soul. The quotes make one contemplate better ways of living and doing things. I cherish this book and feel that looking through it over and over again is better than a glass of wine and far healthier I highly suggest purchasing this book of wonder; You'll never be sorry." - Adria Schumann, Los Angeles, California. Jay W. MacIntosh's published works include "Capturing Beauty", "The Origins of George Bernard Shaw's Life Force Philosophy", "Janet Tallulah", "Journal of Janet Tallulah, Volume I", "Journal of Janet Tallulah, Volume 2", "Jayspeak on the Cote d'Azur", and "Moments in Time".
Janet Tallulah Jewell is born in a small town in Georgia in the 1930's. She is the third daughter of young man - Jesse Dickson Jewell - who owns a chicken hatchery with his mother in Gainesville. Janet's mother - Anna Lou - is a housewife. She raises Janet to be a housewife. Prim, proper, obedient. Play nice, be fair, go to church, learn to sew and cook. Janet has other plans. Lead, shine, star, confront, enjoy, explore. By the time Janet is 31, she leaves Georgia and move to Los Angeles, California - coaxing her husband, Darrell, and three children to go with her. This Journal begins after Janet had been in LA for a year. Depressed, discouraged, na ve, and disillusioned, Janet attends a retreat focusing on depth psychology. Conducted by Jungian psychologist Ira Progoff, Janet immerses herself in a journalistic approach to humanistic psychology and begins writing in a Journal. This book covers her journey during those early years in LA - the time when she struggles to learn how to juggle being a wife, mother, and actress - all at the same time. One reader says, "This book was a great read. It tells the story of a small-town girl's life striving to become an actress while still raising her children and being a wife. Jay doesn't keep anything inside as she tells her story, so you get a real picture of what she endured. I really enjoyed reading this book. Being able to step inside the life and mindset of another person without leaving the comfort of my cozy couch." Jay W.

Listen, observe, test--these three words lie at the heart of a powerful method for businesses' transformation.Behind this method is a deceptively simple idea: managers and management scholars must first take the pulse of a real business, get its case history, diagnose its problems, and only then solve them. Invented by the scholars who launched Harvard Business School, this medical model will still cure companies today.Damningly, during the last thirty years business schools embraced the presumptions of economists, game theorists, and other calculators of abstraction. The solving of real-world, real-time problems has atrophied and stagnated. In this book, renowned scholar and emeritus professor Jay W. Lorsch marshals evidence, history, and insights from his more than fifty-year career at Harvard Business School to make the case for a return to the medical model–the practices of listening, observing, and testing in which the fields of human relations and organizational behavior are rooted.By telling the history of the development of his field, Lorsch demonstrates how the medical model emerged in the years before World War II and for decades helped managers, management scholars, and consultants diagnose and solve the problems besetting companies large and small. Explaining the case studies that define the practice, he discusses how the model has been refined and reapplied by later generations and how it can continue to address issues such as diversity, leadership, competition, and optimal corporate board structures.
Since the middle of the twentieth century, business and legal scholars have tried to explain why corporate boards of directors function as they do, but it is not easy work to understand what happens behind the closed doors of boardrooms. Understanding Boards of Directors examines why research on corporate governance has been slow and uneven, and where that research should turn next to be most valuable to practitioners. The author traces the history of research on corporate boards and analyzes the trends in that research, including the relative value of the types of data that researchers in this field have used, and ultimately identifying the best path forward in studying these complex social systems. The author focuses primarily on research that reflects firsthand experience with boards that should provide some guidance for people working in this evolving field and help to understand the true complexity of corporate boards.
