Reflections on Groups and Organizations - Manfred F. R. Kets De Vries - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Reflections on Groups and Organizations - Manfred F. R. Kets De Vries - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Reflections on Groups and Organizations is the third and final book in the On the Couch with Manfred Kets de Vries series. Broadening the Kets De Vries canvas, this book examines concepts of organizational health, performance, and change. Material ranges from studies of high performance teams – based on time the author spent with the pygmies of central Africa – to the study of organizational stars, to the use of coaching interventions to improve personal and organizational functioning. Kets de Vries looks at the interpersonal and group processes that determine how organizations work within specific contexts, including family firms. He studies dysfunctional leader–follower relationships, downsizing, and organizational transformation. Kets de Vries also introduces his concept of the "authentizotic" organization – a pleasant, healthy, well–functioning workplace.

The Life of the Author: Thomas De Quincey - Andrew Keanie - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Life of the Author: Thomas De Quincey - Andrew Keanie - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

An exploration of an essential but often overlooked figure in English literature In this innovative biography, Andrew Keanie explores one of the most enigmatic figures in English Romanticism. Known for his confessional prose and essays, De Quincey is more than the author of Confessions of an English Opium-Eater —he is the hidden thread connecting the great minds of the Romantic movement, including William Wordsworth, Dorothy Wordsworth, and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Rather than a traditional cradle-to-grave account, The Life of the Author offers a thematic approach, focusing on key moments and works that defined De Quincey’s intellectual life. Through his personal struggles with addiction, loss, and identity, De Quincey forged a new style of life writing that intertwined personal experience with universal truths, influencing generations of writers to come. Throughout the book, Keanie invites readers to reconsider one of English literature’s most complex figures and the Romantic movement he helped define. Accessible to academic readers and literary enthusiasts alike, The Life of the Author: Thomas De Quincey is a must-read for anyone looking for a concise yet deeply insightful book that sheds new light on how De Quincey’s life shaped the enduring legacy of Romanticism.

Superpower Europe - Marc De Vos - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Superpower Europe - Marc De Vos - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The European Union is in a state of revolution. In response to new global realities from the climate crisis to the Covid-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine to the emerging cold war with China, the EU is transforming into a federal superpower in a new world order. In this timely intervention, Marc De Vos gets to the heart of the challenges facing the European Union as it undergoes this silent revolution. Charting its changing mission and identity from a European community into a geostrategic coalition of Eurasian countries; from a union of values into a union of power; and from a market project into a state project, he exposes what’s at stake for both the EU itself and its partners across the world. But retaining this new superpower status, he cautions, is not a given. The European Union’s de facto metamorphosis must mature into a democratic political structure or it risks a crisis of legitimacy that could ultimately threaten the stability of the European Union itself.

Reflections on Character and Leadership - Manfred F. R. Kets De Vries - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Reflections on Character and Leadership - Manfred F. R. Kets De Vries - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Reflections on Character and Leadership is the first of the three books in the Manfred kets de Vries on the Couch series. Here, Kets de Vries looks at entrepreneurship, the pathology of leadership, and the personality of the leader. The reader will visit the disturbed inner worlds of leaders like Alexander the Great, Shaka Zulu and Robert Maxwell, discover how to distinguish between a cold fish and a live volcano, and identify impostors, despots, organizational fools and global leaders. The book highlights the basic principles of the clinical paradigm—the process of putting organizations and the individuals who lead them on the psychoanalyst’s couch. It includes studies of personality archetypes and the effects they have on organizational life and culture—and the effects that organizations have on them. Referring frequently to key management concepts, Kets de Vries looks not only at what happens when things go wrong, but also at how to create the psychological and organizational space to make sure that things go right. About the series: The series offers an overview of Kets de Vries’s work spanning four decades, a period in which he has established himself as the leading figure in the clinical study of organizational leadership. The books in this series contain a representative selection of Kets de Vries’ writings about leadership from a wide variety of published sources and cover character and leadership in a global context, career development and leadership in organizations. The original essays were all written or published between 1976 and 2008. Updated where appropriate and revised by the author, they present a digest of the work of one of the most influential management thinkers of the present day.

Auschwitz Testimonies - Leonardo De Benedetti - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Auschwitz Testimonies - Leonardo De Benedetti - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In 1945, soon after the liberation of Auschwitz, Soviet authorities in control of the Kattowitz (Katowice) camp in Poland asked Primo Levi and his fellow captive Leonardo De Benedetti to compile a detailed report on the sanitary conditions they witnessed in Auschwitz. The result was an extraordinary testimony and one of the first accounts of the extermination camps ever written. Their report, published in a medical journal in 1946, marked the beginnings of Levi’s life-long work as writer, analyst and witness. In the subsequent four decades, Levi never ceased to recount his experiences in Auschwitz in a wide variety of texts, many of which are assembled together here for the first time, alongside other testimony from De Benedetti. From early research into the fate of their companions to the deposition written for Eichmann’s trial, Auschwitz Testimonies is a rich mosaic of documents, memories and critical reflections of great historic and human value. Underpinned by his characteristically clear language, rigorous method and deep psychological insight, this collection of testimonies, reports and analyses reaffirms Primo Levi’s position as one of the most important chroniclers of the Holocaust.

A Companion to Simone de Beauvoir - - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A Companion to Simone de Beauvoir - - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The work of Simone de Beauvoir has endured and flowered in the last two decades, thanks primarily to the lasting influence of The Second Sex on the rise of academic discussions of gender, sexuality, and old age. Now, in this new Companion dedicated to her life and writings, an international assembly of prominent scholars, essayists, and leading interpreters reflect upon the range of Beauvoir’s contribution to philosophy as one of the great authors, thinkers, and public intellectuals of the twentieth century. The Companion examines Beauvoir’s rich intellectual life from a variety of angles—including literary, historical, and anthropological perspectives—and situates her in relation to her forbears and contemporaries in the philosophical canon. Essays in each of four thematic sections reveal the breadth and acuity of her insight, from the significance of The Second Sex and her work on the metaphysics of gender to her plentiful contributions in ethics and political philosophy. Later chapters trace the relationship between Beauvoir’s philosophical and literary work and open up her scholarship to global issues, questions of race, and the legacy of colonialism and sexism. The volume concludes by considering her impact on contemporary feminist thought writ large, and features pioneering work from a new generation of Beauvoir scholars. Ambitious and unprecedented in scope, A Companion to Simone de Beauvoir is an accessible and interdisciplinary resource for students, teachers, and researchers across the humanities and social sciences.

TTIP - Ferdi De Ville - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

TTIP - Ferdi De Ville - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) has stirred passions like no other trade negotiation in recent history. Its supporters maintain that TTIP will produce spectacular growth and job creation; claims that are wholeheartedly rejected by its critics, who regard TTIP as a direct assault on workers'' rights, health and safety standards and public services. In this incisive analysis, Gabriel Siles-Brugge and Ferdi de Ville scrutinize the claims made by TTIP''s cheerleaders and scaremongers to reveal a far more nuanced picture behind the headlines. TTIP will not provide an economic ''cure-all'', nor will it destroy the European welfare state in one fell swoop. Thanks to unprecedented levels of protest and debate around TTIP, however, neoliberal trade negotiations are well and truly back in the spotlight. In this respect, TTIP could well prove to be a ''game-changer'' - just not in the way imagined by its backers.

Transgender Intersections - Kylan Mattias De Vries - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Transgender Intersections - Kylan Mattias De Vries - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

While transgender lives are at the forefront of contemporary politics, what do we really understand about the complexity of trans experience? Trans people who go through various aspects of gender transition experience shifts not only in their gender, but also with regards to other categories of identity such as race, social class, sexuality, disability, and more. Centering the stories of trans people and their loved ones, Sojka and de Vries investigate how intersectionality operates at various levels of social meaning – the individual, the interpersonal, and the structural – in the experiences of transgender people. Collectively, they present an argument about why gendered and racialized processes, in intersection, are central to understanding trans lives.

We Slaves of Suriname - Anton De Kom - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Anton de Kom’s We Slaves of Suriname is a literary masterpiece as well as a fierce indictment of racism and colonialism. In this classic book, published here in English for the first time, the Surinamese writer and resistance leader recounts the history of his homeland, from the first settlements by Europeans in search of gold through the era of the slave trade and the period of Dutch colonial rule, when the old slave mentality persisted, long after slavery had been formally abolished. 159 years after the abolition of slavery in Suriname and 88 years after its initial publication, We Slaves of Suriname has lost none of its brilliance and power.

Mass Starvation - Alex De Waal - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Mass Starvation - Alex De Waal - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The world almost conquered famine. Until the 1980s, this scourge killed ten million people every decade, but by early 2000s mass starvation had all but disappeared. Today, famines are resurgent, driven by war, blockade, hostility to humanitarian principles and a volatile global economy. In Mass Starvation , world-renowned expert on humanitarian crisis and response Alex de Waal provides an authoritative history of modern famines: their causes, dimensions and why they ended. He analyses starvation as a crime, and breaks new ground in examining forced starvation as an instrument of genocide and war. Refuting the enduring but erroneous view that attributes famine to overpopulation and natural disaster, he shows how political decision or political failing is an essential element in every famine, while the spread of democracy and human rights, and the ending of wars, were major factors in the near-ending of this devastating phenomenon. Hard-hitting and deeply informed, Mass Starvation explains why man-made famine and the political decisions that could end it for good must once again become a top priority for the international community.
