Book Description
SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE dramatically increases basic understanding of groups and how they work. While this is primarily a book on management, it broadens one's perspective in numerous ways. Principles contained in this book are based on extensive research into the subjects of management, organization, people and their work. It outlines certain laws of management which are uniform and unchanging in any group endeavor. This material is currently being used in highly successful corporations. The illustrated situations are based on practical everyday experiences. This book is quite different from other books on management in that each page covers a single concept, presented in an illustrated fashion. This helps the reader to cut quickly through the words and directly into the conceptual understanding of the subject matter. Regardless of the condition of the economy, a well-managed organization will flourish and prosper, whereas a poorly-managed organization will tend to collapse. The ability to make a business successful under any economic condition stems from a keen understanding of management itself. In truth, there is a phenomenal difference between expert management and poor management. It is a difference which can almost single-handedly change the course of an entire culture.

Speaking about the Unspeakable
Author: Dennis McCarthy
Publisher: Jessica Kingsley Publishers
ISBN: 1846427967
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
Children do not always have the capacity or need to express themselves through words. They often succeed in saying more about their feelings and experiences by communicating non-verbally through play and other expressive, creative activities. The basic premise of Speaking about the Unspeakable is that life's most pivotal experiences, both good and bad, can be truly expressed via the language of the imagination. Through creativity and play, children are free to articulate their emotions indirectly. The contributors, all experienced child therapists, describe a wide variety of non-verbal therapeutic techniques, including clay, sand, movement and nature therapy, illustrating their descriptions with moving case studies from their professional experience. Accessible and engaging, this book will inspire child psychologists and therapists, art therapists and anyone with an interest in therapeutic work with children.

Cognitive and Affective Perspectives on Immersive Technology in Education
Author: Zheng, Robert Z.
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN: 179983252X
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
Immersive technology as an umbrella concept consists of multiple emerging technologies including augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), gaming, simulation, and 3D printing. Research has shown immersive technology provides unique learning opportunities for experiential learning, multiple perspectives, and knowledge transfer. Due to its role in influencing learners’ cognitive and affective processes, it is shown to have great potential in changing the educational landscape in the decades to come. However, there is a lack of general cognitive and affective theoretical framework to guide the diverse aspects of immersive technology research. In fact, lacking the cognitive and affective theoretical framework has begun to hamper the design and application of immersive technology in schools and related professional training. Cognitive and Affective Perspectives on Immersive Technology in Education is an essential research book that explores methods and implications for the design and implementation of upcoming immersive technologies in pedagogical and professional development settings. The book includes case studies that highlight the cognitive and affective processes in immersive technology as well as the successful applications of immersive technology in education. Featuring a wide range of topics such as curriculum design, K-12 education, and mobile learning, this book is ideal for academicians, educators, policymakers, curriculum developers, instructional designers, administrators, researchers, and students.

Discourse, Consciousness, and Time
Author: Wallace Chafe
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226100545
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 341
Book Description
Wallace Chafe demonstrates how the study of language and consciousness together can provide an unexpectedly broad understanding of the way the mind works. Relying on analyses of conversational speech, written fiction and nonfiction, the North American Indian language Seneca, and the music of Mozart and of the Seneca people, he investigates both the flow of ideas through consciousness and the displacement of consciousness by way of memory and imagination. Chafe draws on several decades of research to demonstrate that understanding the nature of consciousness is essential to understanding many topics of linguistic importance, such as anaphora, tense, clause structure, and intonation, as well as stylistic usages such as the historical present and free indirect style. This book offers a comprehensive picture of the dynamic natures of language and consciousness for linguists, psychologists, literary scholars, computer scientists, anthropologists, and philosophers.

Personally Speaking
Author: Candace Spigelman
Publisher: SIU Press
ISBN: 9780809325894
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
Responding to contemporary discussion about using personal accounts in academic writing, Personally Speaking: Experience as Evidence in Academic Discourse draws on classical and current rhetorical theory, feminist theory, and relevant examples from both published writers and first-year writing students to illustrate the advantages of blending experiential and academic perspectives. Candace Spigelman examines how merging personal and scholarly worldviews produces useful contradictions and contributes to a more a complex understanding in academic writing. This rhetorical move allows for greater insights than the reading or writing of experiential or academic modes separately does. Personally Speaking foregrounds the semi-fictitious nature of personal stories and the rhetorical possibilities of evidence as Spigelman provides strategies for writing instructors who want to teach personal academic argument while supplying practical mechanisms for evaluating experiential claims. The volume seeks to complicate and intensify disciplinary debates about how compositionists should write for publication and what kinds of writing should be taught to composition students. Spigelman not only supplies evidence as to why the personal can count as evidence but also relates how to use it effectively by including student samples that reflect particular features of personal writing. Finally, she lays the groundwork to move narrative from its current site as confessional writing to the domain of academic discourse.
