Memory and Institutional Amnesia in Government

Memory and Institutional Amnesia in Government examines the way in which government suffers from institutional amnesia, meaning that it cannot hold or use memory of the past. Consequently, a great deal of important knowledge is erased and those who work in government find themselves repeating the mistakes of the past. The book explores these issues through a comparison of the public services of Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom in which the authors establish the causes of institutional amnesia, analyze its effects, and recommend a series of treatments that might remedy the problems that it causes.

The Signs of the Christ Teacher's GuideThe Gospel of John is the quintessential "odd man out." It is the unique Gospel among all four and presents Jesus in a very special light. The key to understanding the Gospel of John is an awareness of its purpose. John was not interested in offering a biography of Jesus. His purpose was to "prove" that Jesus was the Messiah.John accomplished his purpose by drawing attention to the seven signs Jesus tendered during his ministry on earth. By focusing on the signs, John revealed the work of God the Father through his Son. And that work advances proof of his Messiahship.The Signs of the Christ book (sold separately) explains Christ's signs and manifestations in a way that no one has to date. The reader is drawn into a world of theological wonder, the result of which is a deeper insight into this marvelous, Christ-honoring work.The Signs of the Christ Teacher's Guide is intended to be used along with The Signs of The Christ book (i.e., the Teacher's Guide is NOT designed for standalone use). The Teacher's Guide is integrated with The Signs of the Christ book and Study Guide, helping small group leaders, pastors, professors and scholars seamlessly introduce their constituents to the depths and riches of the Gospel of John.

Collectively these resources (Teacher's Guide, Book, and Study Guide) provide everything needed for a teacher or professor to systematically lead a small group or class through an indepth study the Gospel of John.

Art in the Wilderness is a voice crying out to the artist, the art historians, educators, politicians, pastors, museums, art galleries, and to all peoples who have a desire for justice, a yearning for knowledge and the need to understand one man’s struggle. The struggle through his arts and his vision of the world around him speaks to us on a personal and universal level. All who read this book will benefit through his courageous honest effort to see the injustices of history past and present. The contents of this work begins with Ronald’s formative years on the island of Trinidad and moves us to a new world where people are divided racially, politically, socially, and even creatively, as witness by the artist during his studies at the various hallowed institutions. The succeeding chapters reflect Ronald’s understanding of our "Art History" and its relationship to society. However in his research he comes to realize a certain truth about the forces that governed and even shaped our understanding about art and a man’s position in the world. Following this path he began his own visual journey to record and express the injustices that prevail and are generally neglected by our grand aesthetic values.

From the perspective of delivering successful projects, the value of a skilled project sponsor and project manager outweighs many other factors. Projects need leaders who can give them vision, identity, keep the stakeholders and the project team on board and make the difficult decisions that will enable the project to continue (or, if necessary, be terminated). These are human skills that don't necessarily feature large in the project management bodies of knowledge. Ralf Müller and Rodney Turner's Project-Oriented Leadership explains the key leadership models of managerial, intellectual and emotional leadership and shows how they can be applied within projects to lead processes, functions and people, and ensure an ethical and inclusive approach within projects and programs.

Rodney James Alcala, an American serial killer whose true crime story will give you chills He was a killing machine... Throughout the late 1960's and 1970's, a man roamed the streets with a camera. While photography was a "hip "hobby to have at the time, this man was different from the rest. He asked young girls and women to pose for him, often nude, and a few of them he even molested and murdered.It all started with Tali Shapiro, an eight-year-old girl that was saved by a Good Samaritan who witnessed her climb into a vehicle driven by a man. The entire scene seemed off to the man, who called police shortly after he followed the vehicle to an apartment complex. By the time the police arrived on the scene, Tali Shapiro was almost dead, and Rodney Alcala had retreated out the back door. He was apprehended for the rape and torture of Tali Shapiro, but he was released on parole not long after he was convicted and imprisoned.His newfound freedom came at a cost to many women and children.Dubbed the Dating Game Killer because he was on an episode of the Dating Game show in 1978, Rodney Alcala's body count is still rising. He kept photographs of his victims, and police found over 1,700 in a storage locker Alcala had rented. Some of the pictures Alcala took have been released by NYPD (New York) and the HBPD (California) in hope to identify possible victims of this psychopath.This book is about the victims' investigators know about, and it gives a small insight into the life of one of the most vicious and active serial killers America has ever known.Many believe that Alcala may have killed over a 100 women and girls.Warning, information found in this book may be too graphic for some to handle.Scroll back up and grab your copy today

The official school drop-out figure in the US in recent years has been 25 per cent of the cohort. Estimates from large cities are often double these rates, and in some areas 60 per cent or worse. This text focuses on this problem in US schools, but from an unusual perspective. It is a study gained from in-depth interviews of 100 "stop-outs" - that is, those who dropped out but then decided to return to school. Four basic questions are posed by this text: who drops out?; why did they drop out?; what caused them to return?; and what intervention policies can be formulated to prevent students dropping out in the first place? The answers provided by this text for the last question are intended to make it of particular interest to school administrators.

Winner of the IENE Project Award 2016.This authoritative volume brings together some of the world’s leading researchers, academics, practitioners and transportation agency personnel to present the current status of the ecological sustainability of the linear infrastructure – primarily road, rail and utility easements – that dissect and fragment landscapes globally. It outlines the potential impacts, demonstrates how this infrastructure is being improved, and how broad ecological principles are applied to mitigate the impact of road networks on wildlife. Research and monitoring is an important aspect of road ecology, encompassing all phases of a transportation project. This book covers research and monitoring to span the entire project continuum – starting with planning and design, through construction and into maintenance and management. It focuses on impacts and solutions for species groups and specific regions, with particular emphasis on the unique challenges facing Asia, South America and Africa. Other key features: Contributions from authors originating from over 25 countries, including from all continentsEach chapter summarizes important lessons, and includes lists of further reading and thoroughly up to date referencesHighlights principles that address key points relevant to all phases in all road projectsExplains best-practices based on a number of successful international case studiesChapters are "stand-alone", but they also build upon and complement each other; extensive cross-referencing directs the reader to relevant material elsewhere in the book Handbook of Road Ecology offers a comprehensive summary of approximately 30 years of global efforts to quantify the impacts of roads and traffic and implement effective mitigation. As such, it is essential reading for those involved in the planning, design, assessment and construction of new roads; the management and maintenance of existing roads; and the modifying or retrofitting of existing roads and problem locations. This handbook is an accessible resource for both developed and developing countries, including government transportation agencies, Government environmental/conservation agencies, NGOs, and road funding and donor organisations.
