Education / Career and Personal Development The Womans Guide to Navigating the Ph.D in Engineering & Science "The Ph.D. is a challenging and tough endeavor for everyone because of the exploration into uncharted places of knowledge. There is no other instance in which one can feel quite the same intellectual high and sense of accomplishment that ones own Ph.D. work gives, so it is important to understand and learn to navigate the process." Indira Nair Vice Provost for Education and Associate Professor of Engineering and Public Policy Carnegie Mellon University Designed to unravel some of the mystery around graduate school programs in science and engineering, this one-stop resource reinforces strategies for succeeding in graduate school. Qualitative interviews offer first-hand stories and tips from women who have found success in academia, industry, and the public sector. Each chapter covers a different aspect of graduate school, from identifying funding sources, to writing the dissertation, to looking for a job.

Featured topics include:*Funding, requirements and standards, qualifiers*Making the advising process work*Writing and defending the dissertation*Searching for a job*Learning by critique*Balancing competing needsThe goal of The Womans Guide to Navigating the Ph.D. in Engineering & Science is to help women overcome the stereotypes and hidden barriers that they might encounter in graduate school, so that they will emerge ready for careers in the academic, corporate, or public sector.
La crisi che ha recentemente colpito l'economia globale ha acceso il dibattito sul rapporto tra etica e business, dando nuovo impulso alla ricerca sulla Responsabilita Sociale d'Impresa (RSI). Quest'ultima si e progressivamente focalizzata sulla dimostrazione del business case per la RSI, ovvero sull'esistenza di benefici economici per le imprese che implementano iniziative socialmente responsabili. Il presente lavoro intende contribuire a tale dibattito con lo sviluppo di un'analisi sistematica della letteratura e un successivo studio econometrico applicato all'industria chimica. Quest'ultima ricopre un ruolo di estrema importanza, ma genera elevati impatti ambientali. Le contestazioni e l'inasprirsi della normativa sull'inquinamento hanno portato il comparto chimico ad implementare una serie di iniziative via via piu articolate, tanto da risultare tra i settori pionieri, nonche tra i piu proattivi ancora oggi in tema di sostenibilita ambientale.
When obstinate Episcopal priest George Oliver Dudley (initials G.O.D.) accepts a position at a bright blue-painted church in little Banana Bay, Florida, his New England-Puritanical upbringing falls apart fast in comic style, starting with his speedy marriage to a J.C. Penney's saleswoman who used to sing with "Gail and the Gorillas". Even an alcoholic priest needs confession, although only George thinks to do it on a radio talk show. As a man who adopted the cartoon character Dudley Do-Right as his childhood hero, firmly believing that the world has to be either black or white, not grey, (while envying his mother, who is able to get into the Banana Bay Country Club without him), George is ripe in the sultry Florida sun for some tropical changes.

When Reno Republican Barbara Vucanovich was elected to Congress in 1982, she became the first Nevada woman ever elected to a federal office, and the first person to represent Nevada's newly created Second Congressional District Campaigning as a ""tough grandmother,"" she distinguished herself during her fourteen-year service in the U.S. House of Representatives by her indefatigable efforts on behalf of her state, her commitment to the conservative ideals of her party and the needs of her constituency, and her commonsense approach to politics and her own life. In this engaging, richly informative memoir, Vucanovich reflects with candor and modesty on her political career and the long road that led to it - her years as mother of a growing family, businesswoman, and community and Republican Party volunteer, and her introduction to politics as the northern Nevada manager of several of Paul Laxalt's campaigns. Encouraged by Laxalt to run for Nevada's new congressional seat, she became a sixty-one-year-old first-time political candidate. Vucanovich's lively accounts of campaigning and office-holding offer a rare insider's view of the day-to-day realities of a political career - the excitement and exhaustion of hard-fought campaigns; the endless cross-country commutes to maintain contact with constituents; the inner workings of Congress as bills are written, debated, and voted on. Her profiles of other politicians, from Reno city leaders to Nevada state and national officeholders to her congressional colleagues to presidents of the United States, offer valuable insight into the personalities and politics of some of the most important American political figures of the past half-century. This is a book that offers any reader, of whatever political persuasion, an exceptionally vivid account of politics on both the state and national levels during a notably turbulent era.
