Knowing Through Poetic Reflection

Knowing Through Poetic Reflection

Brian E. Wakeman

Pen Press
2013
pokkari
Knowing Through Poetic Reflection by Brian E. Wakeman will be of interest to readers who have asked the author to publish his poems. 1. The chapters make original contributions to the use of poetry and art in mission. 2. The book makes a new contribution to the writing of poetry as a process and product of qualitative and action research . 3. The central theme is about poetry and reflection. It describes the use of art and poetry in a church community project. 4. Then subsequent chapters explore the healing power of humour, and analyse the relationships between poetry and prophecy, and poetry and wisdom. The author illustrates poetry as theological reflection, and discusses the forms and processes of his writing. 5. A key chapter is about poetry as a means and product of research, and a way of knowing. In the final two chapters, the author makes an appeal for restoring the status of poetry in Church life, and explains his methodology. The author invites readers to respond to the ideas in the book.

The Political Economy of Local Government

The Political Economy of Local Government

Brian E. Dollery; Joe L. Wallis

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd
2001
sidottu
In recent decades, local government has become increasingly complex. The Political Economy of Local Government draws upon recent developments in economics, including new institutional economics, and contemporary advances in the theories of social capital and leadership, in order to explain local government policy formulation.The authors go beyond the study of local public goods to explore the sources of market failure and examine whether local authorities are more susceptible to certain types of government failure. In addition, a transaction cost analysis of markets, hierarchies and networks is applied to ascertain the comparative institutional advantage local authorities might have in the supply of local governance. The book also considers the extent of the influence that these recent advances in the theories of social capital and leadership have on the process and implementation of local government policy. This book offers a fresh and readily accessible perspective on the political economy of local government policy making, and will be of particular interest to students and practitioners of economics, political science, public administration, policy studies and local government.

The Political Economy of the Voluntary Sector

The Political Economy of the Voluntary Sector

Brian E. Dollery; Joe L. Wallis

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd
2003
sidottu
In this book, the authors outline how policymakers in advanced countries have moved away from exclusive reliance on the public sector in social service delivery, towards a more multi-faceted approach that seeks to combine the strengths of public agencies, private firms and voluntary organizations. This development raises interesting and complex questions concerning the comparative advantages of these respective groups in the delivery of goods and services. The Political Economy of the Voluntary Sector adopts a comparative institutions approach to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the government, market and voluntary sectors as alternative instruments for implementing social and economic policies. The authors examine existing market failure, government failure and supply-side models of non-profit organizations before proposing a new leadership theory of the voluntary sector. They then explore the interface between the voluntary sector and the development of social capital. The book culminates in an investigation of appropriate public policy approaches towards the voluntary sector. This book will be warmly welcomed by academics, students, and researchers working on alternative methods of public policy program delivery, primarily from the disciplines of economics, political science and public administration. Practitioners drawn from the public and voluntary sectors, as well as public policymakers in governments from around the world, will also find this accessible book of great interest.

Suffering Saints

Suffering Saints

Brian E Strayer

LIVERPOOL UNIVERSITY PRESS
2008
sidottu
This comprehensive survey of Jansenism and Convulsionism in France is the only work currently available in English that attempts to place the Jansenist movement in the context of French political, social, economic, religious and intellectual developments in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The author provides biographical sketches of its key leaders, analyzes their major writings, and highlights both the movement's internal conflicts and its struggles against Church and State persecution. From letters, diaries, books and speeches, Brian Strayer explains such important Jansenist themes as suffering, saintliness, truth, conflict, passive resistance, and their gradual embracing of toleration. He provides fresh insights into asceticism, Gallicanism, Richerism, Conciliarism, Jesuitism, and Convulsionism in their historical contexts. With gentle wit, the author exposes the contradictions and paradoxes within the movement, shares human interest stories about the Port-Royal nuns, and shows how papal bulls poisoned the religious and political life in France from 1643 to 1713 and beyond. "Suffering Saints" is the result of five years of research in primary and secondary sources from several major archives and libraries in Paris and the United States.

"Bengtson's poems are rough-edged and sassy. He pulls no punches. This trip down LEAVENWORTH STREET is not for the weak of heart or the shy of spirit. Be prepared for a few bruises. This is a bumpy ride that celebrates the indomitable spirit of a survivor who has learned his craft well and parades his words and life experience from one end of Leavenworth Street to the other. This is an exhilarating read"--Fredrick Zydek.

The Experiment That Succeeded How a Government Startup Beat Amazon, Leveraged Innovation History and Changed Air Force Culture

Brian E a Beam Maue

Launch Pad Publishing
2021
pokkari
Innovation may be a buzzword du jour in entrepreneurship and business circles but knowing how to nurture and grow an innovative culture tends to be elusive. This is particularly true within a big bureaucracy and especially within government.Few organizations learned that better than AFWERX, a government startup created to unleash the US Air Force's culture of innovation. Starting as an idea in the Pentagon, AFWERX ended up being ranked #16 on Fast Company's 2020 list of Best Workplaces for Innovators-ahead of companies such as Amazon and Intel-in less than three years' time.To guide AFWERX to its world-class cultural capabilities, co-founder and startup-years leader Dr. Brian "Beam" Maue developed an original strategic framework that drew upon ideas ranging from Sun Tzu to Silicon Valley. In The Experiment That Succeeded, Beam chronicles the principles and practices AFWERX used during its startup years to realize its remarkable achievements.Bouncing between gravitas and a bit of buffoonery, Beam takes readers on a journey through his Factors Linking Organizational Will (FLOW) framework. The exploration includes right and left-brain thinking, thought-provoking culture graphics and more than 50 questions to help internalize insights absorbed along the way.Achieving innovation success may be challenging, but it is not random. The Experiment That Succeeded reveals hidden principles of innovation success from a truly unique voice in the world of creative cultures. By applying its lessons, organizations-even those within the government-will accelerate up the learning curve and warp reality more readily in their favor.

Planet Auschwitz explores the diverse ways in which the Holocaust influences and shapes science fiction and horror film and television by focusing on notable contributions from the last fifty years. The supernatural and extraterrestrial are rich and complex spaces with which to examine important Holocaust themes - trauma, guilt, grief, ideological fervor and perversion, industrialized killing, and the dangerous afterlife of Nazism after World War II. Planet Auschwitz explores why the Holocaust continues to set the standard for horror in the modern era and asks if the Holocaust is imaginable here on Earth, at least by those who perpetrated it, why not in a galaxy far, far away? The pervasive use of Holocaust imagery and plotlines in horror and science fiction reflects both our preoccupation with its enduring trauma and our persistent need to “work through” its many legacies.Planet Auschwitz website (https://planetauschwitz.com)
