Since winning a national book award in 1966, this classic, authoritative text has continued to cover both the major research findings of business and societal relations and the thoughts and actions of business practitioners who have struggled both successfully and unsuccessfully with tough human and social problems. The 8th edition covers many important emerging developments that will shape the organizational, social and public policy environments in which students will soon live and work. Many important topic areas have been substantially revised, including ecological and natural resources issues, global challenges, and the complex relationship between science, technology and the media in the age of information. Two new coauthors, Anne Lawrence (San Jose University) and James Weber (Duquesne University), bring valuable experience and perspectives to the author team. Ten cases (five new) bring issues to life.

This book is applicable to every country's education system: from rich, post-industrial USA, Europe, and Asia to poor, developing Middle and South America, Africa, and Asia; from republican-democracies to totalitarian states. The author has researched, analyzed, and interpreted Rousseau's educational philosophy from Emile, Du Contrat Social, Discours sur l'Inégalité , etc., and applied it to the areas of adult education and revolution, this being the first time they have been connected by Rousseau's theories. Radical educators (Meiklejohn, Illich, Freire) are presented as modern Rousseaus. The important roles of programs, family, and State are discussed.

Some authorities assert that Muslims arrived in America long before Columbus. This claim raises questions about the timeline of the Americas' discovery and the interactions between Native Americans and non-Native peoples. Traditionally, Columbus's voyage is seen as the first significant contact, ending thousands of years of isolation for Native Americans, who had been settled since around 13,000 BC, with only minor Norse incursions noted. Some researchers suggest that Muslims may have reached the Americas as early as the 700s, particularly from Islamic Spain, during Caliph Abdullah Ibn Mohammed's rule. A notable Muslim historian, Abul-Hassan Al-Masudi, included a map in his writings that depicted the Atlantic as an "unknown territory," hinting at the Americas. This assertion is significant for Muslims, as it aligns with certain Koranic verses and claims that America was intended to be Islamic. The book explores the history of Muslims in America, from the eighteenth century to the present, revealing patterns of Islamic deception and subversive jihad. It also challenges the narrative that many U.S. and Canadian place names have Arabic-Islamic origins and critiques the portrayal of American history by Islamic and pro-Islamic media. The content is both alarming and informative, shedding light on these controversial topics.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau in American Literature discusses how, where, and to what extent Rousseau's philosophy can be traced in the first one-hundred years of American literature. It examines this problem by using original quotations from such works as Emile, Du Contrat Social , and Discours sur l'Inégalité , and compares them with examples from sixteen American authors and the Connecticut Wits without forcing them into a desired picture. The author shows thought overlap and thought disagreement. The spectrum ranges from the concept of literature and literary interpretation to the relationship between literature and politics; from the political literature of the American colonial period to the literature of national identity; from American romanticism to the American renaissance. The role Germany played in the transfer of French culture to America is argued.
