Presents a new view of the Taoist classic, The Chuang Tzu, through the lens of Buber's translation and his philosophy developed in I and Thou and later works. "Through competent scholarship, insightful interpretation, and masterful understanding of the present dialogue on hermeneutics, it brings Buber's book on Chuang Tzu into sinology and sinology via this book into the understanding and interpretation of Buber. No one else has ever tackled bringing these three fields-Sinology, Buber scholarship, and comparative mysticism-into meaningful interrelation and dialogue."- Maurice Friedman, author of Martin Buber's Life and Work "The best thing is the depth and breadth of his discussion of hermeneutic issues. Herman is very well read both in theoretical hermeneutics and in sinological literature on the Chuang Tzu, and he has thought carefully through the main methodological issues related to his task. His discussion of the relation between unitive/escapist and 'intraworldly' mysticism in the Chuang Tzu is a great contribution." - Michael LaFargue, University of Massachusetts, Boston "Buber's approach to Taoism is not primarily that of the scholar, but of the practitioner of philosophia perennis. And since Buber holds a prominent place in twentieth-century religious history, his appropriation of the Chuang Tzu is an important subject. Herman, to his credit, has not stood in Buber's path, but has allowed him to speak for himself. "His treatment of textual reconstruction, interpretation, and reception in the hermeneutic chapters adds a great deal to these topics that is valuable quite apart from the specific text he addresses." - David L. Hall

Today, information travels at the speed of light, the 24-hour news cycle turns even small blunders into massive public relations catastrophes, and longstanding reputationsare precarious at best. The new prevalence of social and mobile media makes even the most vaunted brands vulnerable to attack - by disgruntled customers, rivals, and even internal sources. But it also represents your best chance to make your company's voice heard. Here, Jonathan Copulsky, drawing on years of experience consulting to the world's leading companies, lays out a seven-step plan for anticipating risk, galvanizing employees, launching counter-attacks and playing brand defense with the same tools your would-be saboteurs are using. This book is full of valuable information to help make your organization battle-ready - even for the challenges you haven't yet discovered.

Wordsworth found expression for both his public and his private speech in the expansive form and peculiar organization of The Prelude; this fact, together with the problems and limitations that resulted, is the subject of Jonathan Grandine's study.
At the age of 8, the author experienced a life-changing accident that saw him lie in a coma for two weeks, after which he was left paralysed and unable to speak. The doctors gave him a 30% chance of survival, and said that even if he did live, it was likely that he’d spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair, and with limited cognitive abilities. From that day on he had a burning desire and a deep intuition that he would prove them all wrong. Fuelled with this newly acquired insight into life, and with tremendous determination, he incrementally built upon the positive influence of this otherwise profound adversity. His passion and mission is to share this knowledge and experience with others who are ready to take the next steps towards a more triumphant life. This book is the story of a man who used his unique outlook on life as the foundations to defy all odds. It explains how he stepped out of the wheelchair. It describes the techniques that he developed to heal his emotional traumas, including his anger and frustrations. It explains how he circumnavigated his disenchantment. Alongside other significant achievements, he went on to complete his scientific doctorate at the University of Oxford, and having subsequently discovered many secrets to health and wellbeing, he’s transformed himself in ways unimaginable by conventional medical care. He’s now living a very fruitful, joyful and contented life. This book is written for his children from a scientific perspective, and in a way that’s understandable for everyone. It assimilates conventional self-help and personal development topics like meditation, the power of the subconscious mind, manifestation and raising your vibrational frequency, nutrition, relationships, health, and alternative medicine and well-being. It also broaches on less discussed topics such as, ‘drugs’, sex, alcohol and addictions, and schooling. It provides much advice, food for thought, ‘neat life hacks’, and references to further research, on how to live your best life in its entirety. The audience is invited to use his references to do their own research, should they choose to do so. Once you start reading this book, you won’t want to put it down. Are you ready to take the next steps towards attaining the life that you so deserve?
Preventing Fraud and Mismanagement in Government

Dig to the root of public fraud with deep exploration of theory, standards, and norms Preventing Fraud and Mismanagement in Government identifies common themes in public fraud and corruption, describes the forces that drive them, and provides an objective standard of good practices with no political bent. From Bridgegate to Iran-Contra, this book walks through the massive scandals that resulted from public mismanagement and fraud to illustrate how deeply-entrenched, entity-specific norms can differ from actual best practices. The discussion includes the theoretical underpinnings of public fraud, and how intense corporate culture and limited exposure to outside practice standards can lead to routine deviation from normal behavior and moral standards. You'll find a compendium of practices that illustrate actual norms, allowing you to compare your own agency's culture and operations to standard practice, and contrast the motivations for fraud in the public and private sectors. Public agencies and governmental entities are generally driven by a pubic benefit or goal, but are widely varied in the ability and desire to deliver value while retaining best practices. This book explicitly explores the common patterns of agency practices and cultural norms, and describes how they can easily cross over into illegal acts. Understand why fraud exists in the public sectorDiscover how your agency's mindset diverges from the normReview cases where agency practices diverged from best financial practicesLearn good practices in an objective, nonpolitical context The government/public sector provides some of the most basic services that are critical to a functioning society. Lacking a profit motive, these agencies nonetheless show a pattern of fraud and borderline behavior that could be mitigated with the adoption of standards and best practices. Preventing Fraud and Mismanagement in Government shares a canon of knowledge related to public operations and fraud, providing deep insight into the causes, solutions, and prevention.

A surprising look at how hospitals affect and are affected by their surrounding communities. An enduring paradox of urban public health is that many communities around hospitals are economically distressed and, counterintuitively, medically underserved. In The City and the Hospital two sociologists, Jonathan R. Wynn and Berkeley Franz, and a political scientist, Daniel Skinner, track the multiple causes of this problem and offer policy solutions. Focusing on three urban hospitals—Connecticut’s Hartford Hospital, the flagship of the Hartford Healthcare system; the Cleveland Clinic, which coordinates with other providers for routine care while its main campus provides specialty care; and the University of Colorado Hospital, a rare example of an urban institution that relocated to a new community—the authors analyze the complicated relationship between a hospital and its neighborhoods. On the one hand, hospitals anchor the communities that surround them, often staying in a neighborhood for decades. Hospitals also craft strategies to engage with the surrounding community, many of those focused on buying locally and hiring staff from their surrounding area. On the other hand, hospitals will often only provide care to the neighboring community through emergency departments, reserving advanced medical care and long-term treatment for those who can pay a premium for it. In addition, the authors show, hospitals frequently buy neighborhood real estate and advocate for development programs that drive gentrification and displacement. To understand how urban healthcare institutions work with their communities, the authors address power, history, race, and urbanity as much as the workings of the medical industry. These varied initiatives and effects mean that understanding urban hospitals requires seeing them in a new light—not only as medical centers but as complicated urban forces.

Dispossession

This collection of essays by a range of international, multidisciplinary scholars explores the financial history, social significance, and cultural meanings of the theft, starting in 1933, of assets owned by German Jews. Despite the fraught topic and the ongoing legal discussions, the subject has not received much scholarly attention until now. This volume offers a much needed contribution to our understanding of the history of the period and the acts. The essays examine the confiscatory taxation of Jewish property, the looting of art and confiscation of gold, the role of German freight forwarders in property theft, salesmen and dispossession in the retail world, theft from the elderly, and the complicity of the banking industry, as well as the reach of the practice beyond German borders.

Most complex biological systems, such as enzyme pathways, are effec tively controlled near the beginning of the process. There is increasing evidence that the same is true for the immune system, with the initial interactions between antigen, antigen-presenting cells, and T cells hav ing a paramount influence on the ensuing events. Thus, analysis of the early stages of the immune responses has been a preoccupation of many immunologists. This has been considerably aided by the capac ity to expand these early events, and 'immortalize' them as clones of T cells, for detailed analysis. The discovery by Morgan, Ruscetti, and Gallo (Science 193, 1007, 1976) of T-cell growth factor (now termed interleukin-2 or IL-2) has had a major impact in immunology that is far from over. The greater ease of handling murine tissues experimentally, with the availability of more precisely defined reagents such as inbred strains, has meant that, to date, most of the work on long-term T-cell cultures has been per formed in the mouse, as summarized by Fathman and Fitch (eds. , Iso lation, Characterization and Utilization of T Lymphocyte Clones, Aca demic Press, NY, 1982). However, the limitations of working with human tissues are counterbalanced by the great long-term importance of understanding disorders of human immune regulation, especially since it is becoming evident that these are far from rare. Immune deficiencies such as agammaglobulinemia and T-cell deficiencies are not common, but immune hyperresponsiveness occurring in allergy and allergiC diseases (e. g.
"The Adventure Begins" is the first in the Axol & Friends book series, which tells the story of Axol the Axolotl as they set out on their journey across the world. The adventure begins with a curious little axolotl that lived a rather lonely life until something special happened one day. Everything changed for Axol when they met Java the Pangolin. In an act of courage, Axol agrees to help Java return home, a trip that requires two tiny animals to get from Mexico to Thailand. Along the way they discover the power of friendship, bravery, compassion and empathy. All the characters in this book are based on real endangered plant and animal species. Axolotls are a rare species of salamanders that have become an icon for Mexican heritage, found only in the central region of Mexico. They also hold a very special place in the world of science research and innovation. Axolotls have an unparalleled biological talent - the ability to regenerate body parts including entire limbs and organs. By studying axolotls, scientists have made significant advances in the fight against cancer, aging related diseases, and many other issues in medicine and health. Pangolins are bizarre yet adorable ant eaters that span select regions of Asia and Africa. While they are spread out, very few still remain. Sadly, pangolins are the world's most trafficked animal, due to a long history of poaching. Pangolins are coveted for their scales, which have been falsely claimed to have health benefits for humans. It has been proven that there are no medicinal use of pangolin scales, yet that hasn't stopped the illegal trade. Together with out nonprofit partners we are working to save the pangolin and axolotl. This book makes a delightful gift for any young kids that are passionate about endangered species as well as families looking to teach their children about unique rare animals. These books also emphasize values of human rights, social justice, and youth empowerment. Axol the axolotl uses the gender neutral pronoun "They/Them". A portion of every sale is donated to youth empowerment programs with the goal of equipping kids with the knowledge and tools to change the world We have partnerships with local nonprofits in the regions each animal is native to, including a community organization in central Mexico and an NGO in northern Thailand. (The habitats for axolotls and pangolins respectively) The hardcover book was printed on recycled paper and we plant 10 trees for every book sold. With the input from social workers and human rights scholars, this book creates gentle opportunities for parents to discuss tough topics on a personal and global level, ranging from understanding one's own emotions and feelings, to social justice issues such as refugee displacement, and environmental crisis. Our approach invites these conversations but does not force anything - this way you can decide when and how to broach these subjects if you wish to do so. About the AuthorHi, my name is Jonathan. I would describe myself as a social worker turned lawyer with a penchant for doodling. Human rights, social justice, and environmental conservation have always been my guiding principles. Axol & Friends is a brand, but more importantly it is a movement. We make sustainable toys, storybooks, and accessories centered around characters created in the image of endangered animals. This book is my first foray into children's literature, illustrations, and self-publishing. It has been one of my proudest achievements in life (thus far). Every page is a meticulous labor of love, drawn with expressive color and detail. My hope is that this book will provide you with fond memories made amongst loved ones and a newfound awareness of the issues in our world and a hope for how we can come together to fix the problems we face. My goal is to lead the way in truly ethical retail while empowering local communities. Together we can create the activists of today and tomorrow.
