Community College Leaders on Workforce Development

Community College Leaders on Workforce Development

This book has two things going for it that are rarely combined—it is fundamentally purposeful and it is useful. As the authors point out, there is a trilogy of needs confronting any business leader with a change agenda and/or transitioning into a new top role: influence, coalition building, and performance consulting. Of the three, performance consulting has received the least amount of attention in both the public and private-sector businesses. Because the focus on performance consulting rests primarily on the worker and the workplace environment, the authors contend that we must have a picture of how that environment has changed over the years. In this book, visionary leaders of community colleges will present their views about the present challenges and future approaches needed for community colleges to be successful.

French artists Anne and Patrick Poirier (born in 1941 and 1942 respectively) grew up during World War II and saw the destruction wrought by bombing, invasion, and collaboration. Though they have worked in a variety of media--photography, drawing, installation and monumental public sculpture--their oeuvre has always dealt with themes surrounding memory. This collection of 30 years of work is full of archeology, ruins, memento mori (including skulls holding miniature models of ancient monuments), disintegration, loss and remembering. As they articulate it, "we believe that ignorance or the destruction of cultural memory brings in its wake every sort of oblivion, falsehood and excess...and that we must, with all the modest means at our disposal, oppose this generalized amnesia and destruction." The Poiriers have been the subjects of solo exhibitions at The Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, among others.

OVERWEIGHT AND OBESITY signal abnormal or excessive fat accumulation to an extent which threatens a risk to health. Obesity, in particular, has reached epidemic proportions to the extent that the level of obesity is projected to increase to over one billion persons by 2030. The annual death rate resulting from obesity related issues was already projected at 4 million seven years ago. Across the globe, more people are obese than underweight; our expanding waist lines have become a global crisis. The problem is considered so serious that Member States at the 2022 World Health Assembly adopted the WHO Acceleration Plan aimed at stopping the rising rate in global obesity. In this regard each and every one of us must challenge ourselves to minimize or reverse the condition. What are the available options? Obesity: A Comprehensive Review dives into what obesity is, what causes it and how to manage it. From the three essential macronutrients to digestion, this guide clarifies the biological processes behind what we consume in simple language supported by extensive research. Common myths and misconceptions are debunked or tempered. Eye-opening tips are provided such as the importance of reading food labels and the choice of vegetables and other food types for the daily platter. The reader is also enlightened in a way that influences how we look at our favorite packaged foods. What we consume, how much water we drink and exercise- all of which have wide-ranging effects on our weight and how we can manage it. Whether we're obese or overweight, the information from this book can help reduce our waistlines. Obesity: A Comprehensive Review shows that the better we understand our bodies, the better choices we can make to live long and healthy lives.

Twelve-year-old Robbie Larsen watches his friend disappear but buries the haunting truth in a bid for acceptance.As the search stretches from hours into days, suspicion and fear cast some into a frenzy and turn the spotlight square on the newest citizens of Argon: the Larsens. When a second child disappears, Robbie discovers a dark secret that threatens to tear the town-and his family-apart.Argon is a story of a search for community among strangers, the devastating effect of secrets we hide and choices we make, and the subtle inhumanity that lurks inside us all.

The Top 5 Greatest Confederate Generals: Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, James Longstreet, Nathan Bedford Forrest, and Patrick Cleburne
*Includes pictures and maps. *Includes bibliographies on each general for further reading. With the exception of George Washington, perhaps the most famous general in American history might be Robert E. Lee, despite the fact he led the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia against the Union in the Civil War. Lee had distinguished himself so well before the Civil War that President Lincoln asked him to command the entire Union Army. Lee famously declined, serving his home state of Virginia instead after it seceded. Lee's most famous subordinate, Thomas Jonathan Jackson earned his famous "Stonewall" moniker at the First Battle of Bull Run, when Brigadier-General Bee told his brigade to rally behind Jackson, whose men were standing like a stone wall. Lee's other most famous subordinate was James Longstreet, the man Lee called his "old war horse." Had Longstreet died on the field in early May 1864, he would almost certainly be considered one of the South's biggest heroes. However, it was his performance at Gettysburg and arguments with other Southern generals after the Civil War that tarnished his image. One of the only bright spots in the West for the Confederacy was Irish immigrant Patrick Cleburne, whose successes earned him the nickname "Stonewall of the West". Where so many Confederates were failing, Cleburne's strategic tactics and bold defensive fighting earned him fame and recognition throughout the South, even leading Lee to call him "a meteor shining from a clouded sky." Confederate Lieutenant General Nathan Bedford Forrest is possibly the war's most controversial soldier. A self-made man with no formal military training, Forrest spent the entire war fighting in the West, becoming the only individual in the war to rise from the rank of Private to Lieutenant General. Forrest has been credited with having killed 30 Union soldiers in combat and having 29 horses shot out from under him.

Patrick Connor's War

Patrick Connor's War

The summer of 1865 marked the transition from the Civil War to Indian war on the western plains. With the rest of the country's attention still focused on the East, the U.S. Army began an often forgotten campaign against the Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapaho. Led by Gen. Patrick Connor, the Powder River Indian Expedition into Wyoming sought to punish tribes for raids earlier that year. Patrick Connor's War describes the troops' movement into hostile territory while struggling with bad weather, supply shortages, and communication problems.David E. Wagner's carefully assembled account carries readers along the trail of Connor's men and allows soldiers to give firsthand impressions of the land and campaign. The author draws on journals, letters, and reports—especially the James H. Kidd Papers, a copy of Connor's expedition report previously believed burned, and the newly discovered C. M. Lee diary—to reconstruct a day-by-day chronology that finds the men trudging, sometimes barefoot and half starved, over unforgiving terrain. The thrill and danger of buffalo hunts and skirmishes with Indians punctuated an arduous trek across the northern plains.Copious maps tie narrative to topography by plotting Connor's route and the paths of the units under him. Also included is a detailed account of the civilian road-building expedition of James Sawyers, whose fate became intertwined with the Powder River expedition. Two dozen illustrations and biographical sketches of main players round out the work.This first major campaign of the post–Civil War Indian wars has been largely overlooked by historians—but should be no longer. Patrick Connor's War breaks new ground by bringing the expedition to life in fascinating detail that will satisfy scholars and engage general readers.
