Called Yet Again

Called Yet Again

Bryan D. Jackson

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2018
nidottu
Have you ever wondered about your life's calling? Do you ever consider that you might be here for a particular reason or reasons? Can one calling interrupt another? Some people experience more than one calling in life. Bryan Jackson is one of those people. A 32-year cancer survivor, Bryan has encountered his share of adversity over the decades. His understanding of calling, both as a Protestant clergyman and a Cherokee descendant, is that of a broad path that can lead to specific circumstances. From carrying a sidearm to enforce the law, to carrying the sacred space to others as a chaplain, counselor, and pastor, Bryan has been called to serve in a variety of conditions where others have helped shape the person he was to become. From the magic of working with animals as a vocation, to discovering the details of his deep Cherokee roots and choosing to live within the parameters of his own guiding principles, Bryan challenges the reader to be open to the possibilities of calling and how our respective callings can take us places we never thought possible. Called Yet Again offers the reader a glance at this Charlotte, NC native's experiences of the twists and turns in the ordained ministry, as well as the life-changing consequences of serious genealogy and family systems theory studies.

The Monstrance

The Monstrance

Bryan D. Dietrich

Dark Recesses Press
2018
nidottu
The Monstrance, Bryan D. Dietrich's sixth book of poems, is a love story. Set in the world of James Whale's 1931 film version of Frankenstein, these poems document the lives and loves of a monster and a gypsy, a huffy hunchback, a lame priest, and the not-so-mad scientist himself. What begins with test tubes and Tesla coils ends in grace and graveyard picnics. Heartwarming and horrifying, love itself is resurrected here and set striding, a lost creature, livid and longing, but never alone.

The Demeter Diaries

The Demeter Diaries

Bryan D. Dietrich; Marge Simon

Independent Legions Publishing
2019
nidottu
'The Demeter Diaries' is a record of love and longing and the inevitable horror that arises between the minds of Mina Harker and Vlad Dracula as they court one another in waking dreams. The dialogue, written in both poetry and prose, imagines a psychic connection that develops between the two even before Dracula arrives in England. As Dracula makes his way from Transylvania to Whitby on the doomed ship Demeter, the two would-be lovers transmit their thoughts across the waves and lands that separate them, alternately wooing and terrifying one another with the idea of love eternal and all the dark delicacies necessary to ensure it. Front cover art by Wendy Saber Core, interior illustrations by Luke Spooner

Revolutionary Teamsters

Revolutionary Teamsters

Bryan D. Palmer

BRILL
2013
sidottu
Minneapolis in the early 1930s was anything but a union stronghold. An employers' association known as the Citizens' Alliance kept labour organisations in check, at the same time as it cultivated opposition to radicalism in all forms. This all changed in 1934. The year saw three strikes, violent picket-line confrontations, and tens of thousands of workers protesting in the streets. Bryan D. Palmer tells the riveting story of how a handful of revolutionary Trotskyists, working in the largely non-union trucking sector, led the drive to organise the unorganised, to build one large industrial union. What emerges is a compelling narrative of class struggle, a reminder of what can be accomplished, even in the worst of circumstances, with a principled and far-seeing leadership.

The Military Commander and the Law is a publication of The Judge Advocate General's School. This publication is used as a deskbook for instruction at various commander courses at Air University.

As with any publication of secondary authority, this deskbook should not be used as the basis for action on specific cases. Primary authority, much of which is cited in this edition, should first be carefully reviewed. Finally, this deskbook does not serve as a substitute for advice from the staff judge advocate.

Agendas and Instability in American Politics, Second Edition

Agendas and Instability in American Politics, Second Edition

Frank R. Baumgartner; Bryan D. Jones

University of Chicago Press
2009
sidottu
When "Agendas and Instability in American Politics" appeared fifteen years ago, offering a profoundly original account of how policy issues rise and fall on the national agenda, the "Journal of Politics" predicted that it would 'become a landmark study of public policy making and American politics'. That prediction proved true, and in this long-awaited second edition, Frank R. Baumgartner and Bryan D. Jones refine their influential argument and expand it to illuminate the workings of democracies beyond the United States. The authors retain all the substance of their contention that short-term, single-issue analysis cast public policy too narrowly as the result of cozy and dependable arrangements among politicians, interest groups, and the media. Baumgartner and Jones provide a different interpretation by taking the long view of several issues - including nuclear energy, urban affairs, smoking, and auto safety - to demonstrate that bursts of rapid, unpredictable policy change punctuate the patterns of stability more frequently associated with government. Featuring a new introduction and two additional chapters, this updated edition ensures that their findings will remain a touchstone of policy studies for many years to come.

The Politics of Information

The Politics of Information

Frank R. Baumgartner; Bryan D. Jones

University of Chicago Press
2015
sidottu
How does the government decide what's a problem and what isn't? Like individuals, Congress is subject to the "paradox of search." If policy makers don't look for problems, they won't find those that need to be addressed. But if they carry out a thorough search, they will almost certainly find new problems-and with the definition of each new problem comes the possibility of creating a program to address it. With The Politics of Attention, leading policy scholars Frank R. Baumgartner and Bryan D. Jones demonstrated the central role attention plays in how governments prioritize problems. Now, with The Politics of Information, they turn the focus to the problem-detection process itself, showing how the growth or contraction of government is closely related to how it searches for information and how, as an organization, it analyzes its findings. Better search processes that incorporate more diverse viewpoints lead to more intensive policy-making activity. Similarly, limiting search processes leads to declines in policy-making. At the same time, the authors find little evidence that the factors usually thought to be responsible for government expansion - partisan control, changes in presidential leadership, and shifts in public opinion - can be systematically related to the patterns they observe.

Dreaming of What Might Be

Dreaming of What Might Be

Gregory S. Kealey; Bryan D. Palmer

Cambridge University Press
2004
pokkari
As Canada's most industrialised province, Ontario served as the regional centre of the Noble and Holy Order of the Knights of Labor, an organisation which embodied a late nineteenth-century working-class vision of an alternative to the developing industrial-capitalist society. The Order opposed the exploitation of labor, and cultivated working-class unity by providing an institutional and cultural rallying point for North American workers. By 1886 thousands of industrial workers had enrolled within the ranks of Ontario's local and district assemblies. This book examines the rise and fall of the Order, providing case studies of its experience in Toronto and Hamilton and chronicling its impact across the province.

A proven systems approach to driving innovation and strategy in complex technical organizations Innovation is often celebrated in theory but rarely achieved at scale within established technical organizations. Developing the Innovative Technical Organization: How to Implement a Systems Approach to Strategy addresses this challenge by documenting how the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) successfully elevated its impact through a rigorously designed and executed strategy system. The book provides proof of an organization that integrated strategy and innovation at enterprise scale. The authors, all current or former senior leaders at APL, describe in detail the Laboratory’s decade-long journey of strategy development and implementation, from articulating a long-range vision to building an annual cycle that ensures accountability, alignment, and full enterprise engagement. Rich with practical lessons, cultural insights, and stories of both setbacks and successes, this work goes beyond individual case anecdotes to present a comprehensive methodology. Readers will discover how to adapt this systems approach to their own organizations, ensuring that innovation is not the exception but the expectation. An essential guide to embedding innovation into strategy and sustaining impact in the face of evolving challenges, the text: Introduces a full-cycle system linking vision, strategy articulation, decision-making, and accountability processes Explains how to align investments and resources with strategic priorities to maximize organizational agility. Shares cultural lessons learned in engaging middle management and staff in innovation initiatives. Provides detailed examples of innovation experiments and how they influenced organizational transformation. Demonstrates how strategic innovation prepared APL to weather crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic. Offers a generalizable framework applicable across technical, engineering, and research organizations. Highlighting leadership roles and behaviors critical to sustaining strategy-driven innovation, Developing the Innovative Technical Organizationis a must-read for executives, senior managers, and decision-makers in technical organizations, particularly those seeking to scale innovation and strategy in complex environments. It is recommended for graduate-level courses in engineering management, business strategy, and organizational leadership, and is also a valuable reference for consultants and policymakers.
