The Myth of the Nuclear Revolution

The Myth of the Nuclear Revolution

Keir A. Lieber; Daryl G. Press

Cornell University Press
2020
sidottu
Leading analysts have predicted for decades that nuclear weapons would help pacify international politics. The core notion is that countries protected by these fearsome weapons can stop competing so intensely with their adversaries: they can end their arms races, scale back their alliances, and stop jockeying for strategic territory. But rarely have theory and practice been so opposed. Why do international relations in the nuclear age remain so competitive? Indeed, why are today's major geopolitical rivalries intensifying? In The Myth of the Nuclear Revolution, Keir A. Lieber and Daryl G. Press tackle the central puzzle of the nuclear age: the persistence of intense geopolitical competition in the shadow of nuclear weapons. They explain why the Cold War superpowers raced so feverishly against each other; why the creation of "mutual assured destruction" does not ensure peace; and why the rapid technological changes of the 21st century will weaken deterrence in critical hotspots around the world. By explaining how the nuclear revolution falls short, Lieber and Press discover answers to the most pressing questions about deterrence in the coming decades: how much capability is required for a reliable nuclear deterrent, how conventional conflicts may become nuclear wars, and how great care is required now to prevent new technology from ushering in an age of nuclear instability.

Strategic Event Creation

Strategic Event Creation

Liz Sharples; Philip Crowther; Daryl May; Chiara Orefice

Goodfellow Publishers Limited
2014
sidottu
Changes in the wider environment have triggered a new normal for event creation. Heightened attendee expectations, a keener focus upon the return required by funders and wider stakeholders, and, of course, an ever more competitive event marketplace. Couple these with CSR, social media, globalisation and technology and the reasons event creation is now a strategic and multilayered responsibility are clear. Strategic Event Creation is the contemporary textbook that recognises and articulates this changed reality for students and professionals. It moves away from an older paradigm of simply ‘making events work’ and managing inputs to show a sector that now needs to be: outcome obsessed, stakeholder centric, strategically focused and driven by strategically aware reflective professionals. This text is based on a carefully designed framework which- • Delivers a clear overview of the key principles • Integrates theory with industry voices, cases and the practitioner perspective • Uses the lens of outcomes to anchor the role of inputs/processes/decisions/budgets • Delivers clear learning summaries and highlights key questions for reflection The broadly based and experienced author team are widely engaged with the events industry whose voice and insights inform the book throughout. It is designed to move students and professionals beyond event organising to strategic event creation. As the event industry has progressed effective event operations become a prerequisite to exist rather than a recipe to succeed. It will be an essential text for students studying Events, Festival, Conference and Exhibition Management at all levels, and also of significant use to a wide range of students in Tourism, Hospitality and Marketing. The practical 'real world' perspective means that it can help venue managers, event creators (across many areas), experiential marketing professionals and conference / training managers gain a broader understanding of the business context in which they are competing.

DISCOVER SECRETS TO KEEP FROM RUNNING OUT OF MONEY IN RETIREMENT "Everything should be made as 'simple' as possible, but not simpler." - Albert Einstein Learn from financial insiders and hear from five financial experts about little-known retirement strategies. These techniques can be used to help keep you from running out of money in retirement. We've called the book "Your Retirement Made Simple" because too many people make retirement planning something that is way too complicated. They use too many technical terms and financial insider "jargon." We call this "technobabble." It's not easy to use simpler terms when discussing financial topics. But in this book, we have tried to convey strategies and techniques using language and a format that you can understand. Using "Simpler" language, but not too simplistic. That is the gist of what Albert Einstein was talking about. Have you read any financial books that you never finished? Was it because they were too boring? Or perhaps they were too complicated to understand? Many books are also just too long. In this book we have brought you expertise from five different retirement experts. We have kept the book short and used an "interview" style format which is easy to read. In addition, we have tried to make the concepts as simple to understand as possible. Our hope is that you find this format easier to understand and "simpler" to read and digest. Each of the five authors of this book has some valuable insights to share with you to help you on your journey towards "Your Retirement Made Simple." We hope you enjoy this book. Please visit our website at: www.YourRetirementMadeSimple.com to give us your feedback and to download some FREE resources related to this book. Thanks and Happy Planning

Sacred Unraveling

Sacred Unraveling

Sara A. Showalter Van Tongeren; Daryl R. Van Tongeren

AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION
2026
pokkari
This book shows mental health professionals how to help clients deal with existential uncertainties and find meaning as they grapple with their religious and spiritual beliefs. As more individuals leave organized religion, deconstruct long-held beliefs, or seek nonreligious spirituality, their existential and spiritual needs often surface in therapy, whether as a presenting concern or a deeper undercurrent. Clients turn to therapists, counselors, social workers, and other helping professionals, desperate for answers. Drawing from cutting-edge research and clinical wisdom, this book provides tools and guidelines for providing culturally competent spiritual care to help clients along their journeys of religious and spiritual change. The authors introduce their existential distress, growth, and engagement (EDGE) model to help clients make sense of their religious/spiritual identities, develop new worldviews, adjust their morals and values, and cultivate meaningful social connections. They explore the five existential realities that clients often struggle with when their faith is in crisis. These include freedom (the conflict between autonomy and responsibility); isolation caused by loss of community; identity, which includes lacking a clear narrative of one's life journey; death anxiety; and meaninglessness, both in the grand scheme of things and in one's day-to-day life.

A practical introduction to Public Management will have a vocational approach; the text would be accessible and practice-based, whilst also embedding knowledge of relevant theories and principles that underpin the operational elements of the public sector profession. This book would be supportive to students grounding in the subject area both theoretically and practically, with the right balance across those elements. A practical introduction to Public Management would actively build skills and knowledge-base, and a real-life understanding, to prepare the student for progression through the undergraduate students, leading to employment in the public sector.

The Athlete Apperception Technique

The Athlete Apperception Technique

Petah M. Gibbs; Mark B. Andersen; Daryl B. Marchant

Routledge
2021
nidottu
As the field of sport psychology has matured, so a greater appreciation for a diversity of training models, research methodologies, and therapeutic approaches, opposed to the dominant models of objective testing, has developed. The Athlete Apperception Technique (AAT) sets out a sport-specific projective test for practitioners working in sport and exercise service delivery or counselling work with athletes and coaches.This innovative book includes a basic primer on projective methods and the psychoanalytic theory behind them; a history of projective, storytelling instruments in clinical psychology; the development of the image set for the AAT; some examples of interpreting AAT image stories; instructions for the administration of the AAT; a scoring guide for the stories produced; and in-depth descriptions of the stimulus properties of each image in the AAT, along with all images presented as full-page illustrations.The AAT will help sport practitioners identify and assess personality features, relationships, anxieties, achievement, motivation, and perfectionism, and augment the recent shift in orientation for service delivery to athletes and provide a more in-depth understanding of athletes’ characters. The AAT is useful supplementary reading for students of sport psychology and a novel tool for any practicing sport psychologist.

Routledge
2013
sidottu
Digital Solidarity in Education is a book for educators, scholars, and students interested in better understanding both the role technology can play in schools and its potential for strengthening communities, optimizing the effects of globalization, and increasing educational access. The digital solidarity movement prioritizes the engagement and mobilization of students from diverse racial, ethnic, linguistic, and economic backgrounds, and with giftedness and/or disabilities, to utilize and apply technologies. This powerful book introduces innovative technological programs including virtual schools, e-tutoring, and interactive online communities for K-12 students that can:• increase students' knowledge and understanding of advanced concepts while reinforcing their basic skills;• reinforce students' communication in their first language while introducing second and third language possibilities;• nurture students' capabilities to think analytically, while using creative and innovative ideas to think simultaneously “outside of the box.” The experienced author team shows how collaborative partners from the private sector can assist public school systems and educators in creating access for all students to technological innovations, with a goal of increasing individual opportunities for future college and career success. Combining theoretical scholarship and research with the personal perspectives of practitioners in the field, this volume shares with readers both the nuts and bolts of using technology in education, and the importance of doing so.
