The Real Enigma Heroes

The Real Enigma Heroes

Phil Shanahan

The History Press Ltd
2010
nidottu
For almost sixty years after their deaths, three men, whose brave actions shortened the Second World War by as much as two years, remained virtually unknown and uncelebrated. Two lost their lives retrieving vital German codebooks from a sinking U-boat. The third survived the war, only to die in a house fire soon afterwards. But it was the precious documents they seized in October 1942 that enabled Bletchley Park’s code-breakers to crack Enigma and so win the Battle of the Atlantic. Now recognised as a pivotal moment in world history, three British servicemen made it possible to finally beat the U-boats, but at the time not even their families could be told of the importance of their deeds. Shrouded in secrecy for decades, then recast as fictional Americans by the Hollywood film U-571, this book sets the record straight. It is written in celebration of Colin Grazier GC, Tony Fasson GC, and Tommy Brown GM - the REAL Enigma heroes.

Never Mind the Tigers

The History Press Ltd

Two fantastic football grounds since the war, two amazing seasons in the Premier League, two spells in administration. Too many questions that we can’t answer, but quite a few that we can. Hull-based journalist Phil Ascough has trawled through his own memories, picked the brains of fellow followers of the black and amber and shaken up the stories to produce a compilation designed to furrow a few eyebrows and also raise a smile. A true reflection of life with the Barmby Army or a load of Bullards? Only you can be the judge of that!

There is No Such Thing as a Social Science

There is No Such Thing as a Social Science

Phil Hutchinson; Rupert Read; Wes Sharrock

Ashgate Publishing Limited
2008
sidottu
The death of Peter Winch in 1997 sparked a revived interest in his work with this book arguing his work suffered misrepresentation in both recent literature and in contemporary critiques of his writing. Debates in philosophy and sociology about foundational questions of social ontology and methodology often claim to have adequately incorporated and moved beyond Winch's concerns. Re-establishing a Winchian voice, the authors examine how such contentions involve a failure to understand central themes in Winch's writings and that the issues which occupied him in his Idea of a Social Science and its Relation to Philosophy and later papers remain central to social studies. The volume offers a careful reading of the text in alliance with Wittgensteinian insights and alongside a focus on the nature and results of social thought and inquiry. It draws parallels with other movements in the social studies, notably ethnomethodology, to demonstrate how Winch's central claim is both more significant and more difficult to transcend than sociologists and philosophers have hitherto imagined.

Before they know what hit them, the members of Lucifer's Sword find themselves embroiled in a bloody club war. As the war becomes increasingly deadly, the club finds that it's going head to head with forces much more powerful than just a rival motorcycle club.Author Phil Cross, working with illustrator Ronn Sutton and co-author Darwin Holmstrom, draws on real-life experience as a nearly 50-year member of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club to bring gritty realism to this fictional story. Says Cross, "In the world of motorcycle clubs, there are some stories so raw, so gritty, so real that they can only be told as stories. This is one of them."

The Law of Escalating Marginal Sacrifice

The Law of Escalating Marginal Sacrifice

Phil Grant

University Press of America
2004
sidottu
This book presents a new law of human behavior founded by the author some twenty-five years ago, but not proclaimed as a law until now. The Law of Escalating Marginal Sacrifice (LEMS) states that when a person exerts more effort pursuing a job, task, or goal, the negative outcomes, or costs experienced by the person as a result of the higher effort exerted, rise at an increasing rate_the rate of increase accelerating rapidly as one's effort capacity is approached. Such a relationship, between effort exerted and perceived costs associated with that effort, has profound implications for managing people in the workforce. This relationship provides a vital framework for integrating the theory of the firm with the theory of individual behavior_a synthesis too long neglected.

The Mathematics of Human Motivation

The Mathematics of Human Motivation

Phil Grant

University Press of America
2008
nidottu
The Mathematics of Human Motivation is a pioneering effort to advance the theory of human motivation. It provides powerful, new direction for students of human behavior. Professor Grant has created a theory development book that involves construction and analysis of a mathematical framework for exploring the intricacies of human motivation and satisfaction. Backed by thirty years of study, it draws on multiple disciplines to synthesize a model that has tremendous capacity for answering numerous previously unanswered questions on human motivation, and for predicting human behavior. The model is particularly useful for deriving scores of practical strategies, which organizations can use to enhance human performance and organizational profitability. The book combines contributions from managerial economics, organizational behavior, psychology, human resources, decision theory, and industrial engineering. This is the only book on the market that provides a comprehensive mathematical paradigm for interpreting human motivation issues. It is invaluable in guiding research and application in a wide array of fields.

Contested Natures

Contested Natures

Phil Macnaghten; John Urry

SAGE Publications Inc
1998
sidottu
Demonstrating that all notions of nature are inextricably entangled in different forms of social life, the text elaborates the many ways in which the apparently natural world has been produced from within particular social practices. These are analyzed in terms of different senses, different times and the production of distinct spaces, including the local, the national and the global. The authors emphasize the importance of cultural understandings of the physical world, highlighting the ways in which these have been routinely misunderstood by academic and policy discourses. They show that popular conceptions of, and attitudes to, nature are often contradictory and that there are no simple ways of prevailing upon people to `save the environment'.

Stakeholder Marketing

Stakeholder Marketing

SAGE Publications Inc

The philosophical underpinning of this book is that all organizations need to be aware of their stakeholders (shareholders) and know how to communicate with and manage them. Using a number of contemporary case studies both as examples and employing vignettes to outline core areas of theory, the text attempts to put together a number of tools to gauge and measure contemporary government and political activity. Its central argument is that marketing can be applied equally to societal life as it can to the commercial market.

'These sections represent the clearest rendition yet of these subjects, with difficult concepts introduced in a digestible form for the neophytic (or not so neophytic) researcher. Whilst in a book this size not every argument can be presented, there is ample extra material to be found to encourage further engagement… At the end of each chapter, there is a very useful Further Reading section provided by the authors, which gives useful guidelines. I believe to be an extremely useful text, which addresses what has until now been a significant gap in the market. This book will be my first choice in the future for introducing doctoral students of management-related subject to the philosophical underpinning they require for their studies. There is no other text which covers this area so clearly, so succinctly and in language that is readily accessible to a wide range of researcher back-grounds. I can enviSAGE this being a valuable source book to which researchers return again and again in order to deepen their understanding as research projects progress; it certainly provoked some new questions for me. To conclude, an excellent buy' - International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation This is an invaluable introduction for all students and researchers of management confronting a new research project. Understanding Management Research provides an overview of the principal epistemological debates in social science and how these lead to and are expressed in different ways of conceiving and undertaking organizational research.

All students undertaking empirical research for theses and dissertations will find this book helps them comprehend the key ongoing debates and engage with their own pre-understandings when trying to make sense of management and organizations.
