Business Management for the Equine Industry Sharon Eastwood, Anne-Lise Riis Jensen and Anna Jordon Wiley-Blackwell (an imprint of John Wiley & Sons Ltd), John Wiley & Sons, Inc., Oxford, UK, 2006

Written by a team of consultants who combine modern business knowledge with decades of direct experience of working in the equine industry, this book bridges the gap between modern business theory and equine business practice.

Part 3 sets out a series of case histories to illustrate the principles as discussed in Part 1 and 2. No other book applies a truly modern business approach to equine enterprise.

Feminist Practice and Poststructuralist Theory Weedon, Chris Blackwell Pub.; Blackwell Publishers, 2nd ed., Cambridge, Mass, Massachusetts, 1996

"Feminist Practice and Poststructuralist Theory offers a clear and accessible introduction to poststructuralist theory, focusing on questions of language, subjectivity and power. It examines how we might use poststructuralism to theorize gender, identity and experience in patriarchal societies. Drawing on the work of Saussure, Derrida, Freud, Lacan, Kristeva, Irigaray, Cixous, and Foucault, it argues for a form of feminist poststructuralism that can help bring about social change. This new edition has been revised and updated and includes an additional final chapter on the recent debate about feminism and postmodernism."--Page 4 of cover

Politics and Religion Bruce, Steve, 1954- Cambridge, UK: Polity ; Malden, MA: Distributed in the USA by Blackwell Pub., Cambridge, UK, Malden, MA, 2003

Islamic fundamentalists wreck the financial heart of New York; Hindus destroy a mosque at Ayodhya; Orthodox Jews battle Palestinians for possession of holy sites; in Egypt, Israel and India political leaders are murdered by religious zealots. In many parts of the world, religion combines with ethnic and national conflict to stimulate political militancy. The collapse of Communism and the failure of Western secular models of development have stimulated the revival of religiously inspired nationalisms. Even in stable affluent democracies, religion is a powerful influence on political preferences. It affects lifestyle concerns such as abortion, gender roles and gay rights. It influences economic attitudes. It shapes the alignments of political parties. Believers try to influence governments and, although most governments in principle tolerate religious diversity, many still attempt to regulate religious behaviour, particularly that of new religious movements. Steve Bruce draws on material from all over the world and from all religious traditions to explore the complex links between religion and politics. He shows that, while social, economic and political circumstances shape the political choices and actions of believers, religion still matters. Although the major world faiths have at times been associated with every conceivable political agenda, there remain important differences between Catholic, Protestant, Hindu, Jewish, Buddhist, Confucian, Shinto and Muslim politics.

Organizational Knowledge: The Texture of Workplace Learning (Organization and Strategy) Silvia Gherardi; Davide Nicolini Blackwell Pub.; Wiley-Interscience; Wiley-Blackwell, Organization and strategy, Malden, MA, Massachusetts, 2005

Why has the issue of learning and knowledge in organizations been the subject of such lively debate over the last 20 years? This book furnishes an answer to this question, supported with arguments, and founded on data and examples from empirical research. The author uses her detailed study of safety practices in different corporate settings to ground her theories of organizational learning. She shows how safety can be interpreted as an organizational practice and, using this example, she empirically describes how learning, knowing and organizing are practised. Her account centres on the transformative concepts of “knowing in practice” and the "texture" of organizational learning. This book gives readers a rich account or how organizations learn and how corporate practices and policies evolve, and in this way makes an important contribution to our understanding of organizational knowledge.

The Hollywood Historical Film is an entertaining and erudite cinematic journey through the controversial portrayal of history on film — from the swashbuckling epics of the silent era to up-to-the-minute dramas like World Trade Center. With thought-provoking analysis, film historian Robert Burgoyne reveals the dual nature of historic films — how they deepen our understanding of historical events while shaping and often altering our views of the past. Burgoyne examines the power of historic films to entertain and promote national myths while influencing public opinion. He also reviews how contemporary filmmakers like Oliver Stone cleverly restage the past to reframe our memories of actual historic events. For students of film and history — and fans alike — The Hollywood Historical Film is a timely exploration of the world of historical films.

Blahuta; Robert Arp; Tracie Mahaffery; Amy Kind; Jerold J. Abrams; Brian Willems Wiley-Blackwell; Blackwell Pub., 1, US, 2008

PHILOSOPHY/POP CULTURE “The contributors to Battlestar Galactica and Philosophy strive to make things relevant to fans of the show, and they put their information out in a way that is accessible to folks who wouldn't know Heidegger from Heineken.” Green Man Review, Spring 2009 "The writers are well versed in their subjects...The book is most effective at making the reader rethink what they thought they knew." Neo-opsis What’s the point of living after your world has been destroyed? This is one of many questions raised by the Sci-Fi Channel’s critically acclaimed series Battlestar Galactica . More than just an action-packed “space opera,” each episode offers a dramatic character study of the human survivors and their Cylon pursuers as they confront existential, moral, metaphysical, theological, and political crises. This volume addresses some of the key questions to which the Colonials won’t find easy answers, even when they reach Earth: Are Cylons persons? Is Baltar’s scientific worldview superior to Six’s religious faith? Can Starbuck be free if she has a special destiny? Is it ethical to cut one’s losses and leave people behind? Is collaboration with the enemy ever the right move? Is humanity a “flawed creation?” Should we share the Cylon goal of “transhumanism?” Is it really a big deal that Starbuck’s a woman?

Andrés è un professore universitario figlio di immigrati latinoamericani. Vive a New York con il marito Marco, ma la loro relazione è in crisi dopo un tradimento. Convinto che la distanza possa sanare le ferite, Andrés torna nella sua cittadina natale nei sobborghi di Long Island per prendersi cura dei genitori, e partecipa suo malgrado a una rimpatriata del liceo. Ma tornare significa riscoprirsi vulnerabile, ed esporsi ai ricordi che affiorano prepotenti: Andrés rivive la paura e la sfida di sentirsi un outsider nel piccolo mondo della provincia; incontra il suo primo amore, Jeremy, ora sposato e con figli; e rivede l’amica Simone, ricoverata in un ospedale psichiatrico. E mentre ripercorre il passato che hanno condiviso, l’amicizia e la passione che li ha tenuti insieme anche nei momenti più bui, Andrés si ritrova a scegliere tra un antico sogno di gioventù e la certezza del presente, tra illusioni e speranze. Babylon è una lucida metafora dell’America di oggi, dove razzismo e conflitto sono ormai sedimentati nel tessuto delle relazioni, famiglie, coppie, amicizie. Con una voce onesta e provocatoria, in cui risuona l’eco delle lingue che oggi popolano il paese, Alejandro Varela racconta di uomini e donne che resistono e non si arrendono a un futuro di esclusione, e che costruiscono la propria felicità ogni giorno, un amore alla volta. Questo libro è per chi vorrebbe abbracciare l’adolescente che è stato, per chi non si è ancora rassegnato alla morte di Prince, per chi davanti a un margarita trova il coraggio di dire la verità, e per chi immagina il tempo che passa come una creatura vivente, che cresce e matura, e invita a rivolgere lo sguardo indietro con una nuova, sconfinata tenerezza.

Principles and Applications of Thermal Analysis edited by Paul Gabbott Wiley-Blackwell; Wiley-Interscience; Blackwell Pub., John Wiley & Sons, Inc., Oxford, 2008

Thermal Analysis techniques are used in a wide range of disciplines, from pharmacy and foods to polymer science, materials and glasses; in fact any field where changes in sample behaviour are observed under controlled heating or controlled cooling conditions. The wide range of measurements possible provide fundamental information on the material properties of the system under test, so thermal analysis has found increasing use both in basic characterisation of materials and in a wide range of applications in research, development and quality control in industry and academia. Principles and Applications of Thermal Analysis is written by manufacturers and experienced users of thermal techniques. It provides the reader with sound practical instruction on how to use the techniques and gives an up to date account of the principle industrial applications. By covering basic thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) including the new approach of Fast Scanning DSC, together with dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA /TMA) methods, then developing the discussion to encompass industrial applications, the book serves as an ideal introduction to the technology for new users. With a strong focus on practical issues and relating the measurements to the physical behaviour of the materials under test, the book will also serve as an important reference for experienced analysts.
