An allegorical teaching to embrace change, develop critical thinking skills, and solve any problem using teamworkEngage the Fox is a charismatic business fable set at a newspaper run by publisher Hedgehog and his executive team of woodland creatures. When met with a difficult decision regarding where the newspaper industry is headed, as well as pressure to give discounts to their top advertisers, Hedgehog engages consultant Thaddeus P. Fox to teach the team at The Toad Hollow Gazette how to make important decisions. By thinking critically and utilizing the different personality types present in the office, the team learns to see the big picture and tap the energy and imagination of everyone. The animals portrayed here, by their very nature, represent different aspects of the human personality as illustrated in the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.The authors base their book on Larry Chester's popular course in critical thinking that helps participants identify the cause of problems large and small and generate better, more implementable solutions. That process incorporates four key critical thinking skills that businesspeople can develop to help them evaluate their options as they learn how to manage complex, messy issues in a systematic way that ensures stakeholder buy-in and increases their success rate.

Gia--who lives a Human life, in Human glamour, with a Human fianc . Now Luna finds herself questioning everything that she--and the Guardians--have believed in for millennia.

When Shayla Aja comes back to the small town of Nyx to visit her grandma Ellie, she finds a lot has changed on the beekeeping farm--not only the house she spent endless summers in as a child, but Ellie herself has changed. And the reason seems to center entirely around Ellie's new Apiary Manager, August. August is infuriatingly attractive and shamelessly flirts with Shay--for no apparent reason other than to get under her skin. And the more she tries to get to know August, the more Shay is convinced she's nothing more than a freeloader taking advantage of Ellie's generous heart. Their shaky start is layered with both suspicion and attraction, but when Shay experiences a magical incident at the local farmers' market, something between them starts to shift. As Shay is forced to trust August with her big secret, they begin to open up to each other. As they reveal more about themselves and the life-altering events that brought them both to Ellie's farm--they realize they might also have been brought to each other.
This brief offers an overview of the prevailing debates in police oversight and accountability through an analysis of policing in Hong Kong, Japan, and Taiwan. It places emphasis on three major controversies of oversight: professionalism, representation, and empowerment. Arguing that traditional models do not accurately depict variations in police systems in Asia, the volume aims to bring attention to the implementation of these three concepts and clearly articulate the power relationship within these Asian police oversight mechanisms. This brief will be a useful resource for researchers in policing as well as criminologists, political scientists, and sociologists, particularly those specializing in East Asia.

“Bervin produces fastidious and often collaboratively made artifacts that resist scholarly conclusiveness for the purpose of illuminating the process of understanding.” –Jessica Baran, Artforum Published for the first survey exhibition of Connecticut-based poet and visual artist Jen Bervin (born 1972)—well known for her artist’s book Nets and her work on/with Emily Dickinson—Shift Rotate Reflect features 23 individual and collaborative projects from 1997 to 2020: installations, artist's books, embroideries, videos, drawings, prints and performances that demonstrate the range of Bervin’s interdisciplinary researches, from the legacies of women artists and writers to relationships between text and textiles and abstractions of language and landscape.

Thanks for Asking6: Religion Doesn't Hold A Monopoly On Morality7: I Think, Therefore I Am8: Cockeyed Optimism9: Resources10: About the AuthorReviews: It's sort of amazing how much insight can be placed in so small a book. Jen Hancock's Handbook is well organized and written in away to make the ideas of Humanism clear. I found myself drawn along and agreeing with Humanistic thought. I now place myself in a category that might be labelled as 'Spiritual Humanism.' Previously I considered myself a 'Universalist' but not really having a clear definition for that label. I highly recommend Jen's book to anyone who wishes to keep moving forward in or to kick-start their critical thinking and free-thought processes. I'm happy to have this gem of a book on my iPad as a quick reference resource. - J. BrowneHancock gives an easily understandable explanation of humanism. It is amazing that ideas so simple seem to be so difficult for so many people to get. One of the hardest ideas for humanists to explain is the idea of being good just because it is the right thing. There is no need for a feared punisher. AnonymousThis is a short book that is big on ideas. For those of a Humanist bent this is a great checklist and reminder of the various responsibilities we carry to ensure moral action. (Actions are more important than ideas.) For those who don't know or understand Humanism, this is a fast, non threatening way to see the whole picture. - M. FuchsThis short little book is really more of an extended essay, which is fine, since that makes it that much easier to digest. Its tone is conversational and it's quite accessible. An in-depth treatment of humanism it's not, but for anyone looking for an easy-to-read introduction that covers the bases, this'll do. - T. LeeClear, precise talk on defining humanism without disrespecting other beliefs. Liked the short history and clarification of humanist principles. Highly recommend. - C. AbernathyI had had only a vague idea of what a humanist was previous to reading this book. This book helped me determine that I was a humanist. I liked that the book is a 72 page fun and light read. - Titanium Dragon TurtleA excellent concise introduction to Humanism, especially for people new to Humanism. Written in a very down to earth conversational tone, the explanations are clear and compelling. The resource guide at the end is also a rich source for further research. Highly recommended. - M. Frank
