Find out what happens when Lucifer's Sword Motorcycle Club goes head to head with a badass rival club in this graphic novel from a lifelong motorcycle club member.Meet Lucifer's Sword Motorcycle Club, a group of hard-riding, hard-living bikers just trying to ride their bikes in the swinging 1960s without being hassled by the man. Turns out the man is the least of their problems. While pursuing mostly harmless fun, the group runs afoul of Satanas Hermanos, a rival club from the other side of town. 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

Phil Harris

SAGE Publications Inc
2020
sidottu
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. For researchers and students who are increasingly expected to adopt a reflexive understanding of their own epistemological position, the authors present a concise, accessible guide to the different perspectives available and their implications for research output. 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.

Evasion and Escape Devices Produced by MI9, MIS-X, and SOE in World War II

Evasion and Escape Devices Produced by MI9, MIS-X, and SOE in World War II

Phil Froom

Schiffer Publishing Ltd
2015
sidottu
This book describes the design, manufacture, covert shipment and use of the many ingenious evasion and escape devices provided to Allied troops during WWII. Following the fall of mainland Europe, hostile Allied actions against land-based Axis forces were generally limited to air attacks. However, as the numbers of those attacks increased, the number of aircraft and crews failing to return grew alarmingly: something needed to be done to provide these air crews with aids to enable them to evade to safe territory or escape captivity, or losses of irreplaceable crews would become critical. Britain’s MI-9 and U.S. MIS-X organizations were formed solely to support evaders and prisoners of war in occupied territories. They developed a wide variety of evasion and escape devices that were given to Allied Forces prior to operations in hostile territory or delivered clandestinely to POWs. It worked: the aids facilitated the return of thousands of men to their units.
