The authors of this book provide a comprehensive diagnosis of the increasing number of problems afflicting the performance of business and other institutions. These problems are defined as `people problems' - springing from the behaviour of those who manage as much as those who do the work. The traditional solutions - coercion, percentage staff reductions across the board, sharing of information, the `quick fix' - are examined and found wanting.Ketchum and Trist look beyond `people problems' to the organization of work, and concentrate on the mismatch between the characteristics of people and the organizational characteristics of workplaces. From this point they propose their own model of organizational change, backed up by a wealth of case studies from their personal experience, to create the workplace in which on the job behaviour is cooperative and effective at all levels - the team which is created more than equal.

He laid a clever plot to steal the birthright blessing from his brother, Esau, a hunter. Esau was furious! Jacob fled for safety to his uncle Laban. But what goes around comes around, and so the trickster was tricked–he asked for the hand of Rachel, but woke up to find he’d gotten Leah instead.Over the years his family grew. His sons would give birth to the 12 tribes of Israel. His lost son, Joseph, would become the prince of Egypt. But first Jacob had to deal with Esau, the angry hunter, and his band of soldiers. Would God save him from his brother? Or from himself?With compelling power the ups and downs in the life of Jacob are dramatized here as never before. With thrilling elementary-level stories for kids, along with simplified versions for tiny tots. With splendid illustrations, maps, and photographs of artifacts from ancient times. With a comprehensive glossary that brings a forgotten age to life. With careful scholarship that looks beneath the surface to uncover secrets about important names and places in Genesis. There is something here for every member of the family.There is no better way to build character on the firm foundation of our Judeo-Christian heritage than to hang these rich tapestries of faith in the heart of a child.

Napsáno podle tajného deníku Larryho Gellera, Elvisova přítele a důvěrníka. Jaký byl vlastně Elvis Presley ve svém soukromí? Larry Geller, který byl od roku 1964 až do Elvisovy smrti v roce 1977 nejen jeho kadeřníkem, ale zároveň i jeho důvěrníkem a rádcem, vedl si podrobné záznamy o jejich společných hovorech a o tom, co se kolem dělo. Elvis se nám v jeho podání jeví jako změť protikladů, a to snad také bylo součástí jeho mystiky. Ve své době ovlivnil miliony mladých lidí, ale přesto, byl symbolem revolty mládeže proti generaci jejich otců, sám byl v mnohém značně konzervativní a mimořádné citově vázán ke své matce, otci i babičce....
