 Texas A & M University Press Rise of Houston As a Global City Uus! GTIN: 9781648433092 Raamatud Houston is the largest city in Texas and the fourth largest in the nation. It has long been regarded as the Energy Capital of the World. Trademarked boasts frequently refer to the worlds busiest commercial seaport, worlds biggest medical complex, and worlds control center for space exploration. Houston has been home to some of the most politically powerful people in the world, some of the most influential businesspeople, and some of the most dazzling social figures. In The Rise of Houston as Global City, Geoffrey Scott Connor follows the ascent of Houston from its founding by the Allen Brothers in 1836 as a fledging port to its growth into a global center of international trade. Such rapid expansion began in earnest when, in 1901, a hurricane devastated Galveston and the Spindletop oil gusher changed Houstons fortune forever. The city absorbed much of Galvestons international trade even as it developed into the worlds largest site for refineries and chemical plants. Connor also shows how local wealth and political power facilitated the establishment of the M. D. Anderson Cancer Hospital during World War II and its transformation into the worlds largest medical complex and a leading center of advanced medicine. The continually expanding Texas Medical Center treated the worlds elite while also developing new medical technologies for the general public. Having thus established itself as a center of technology, Houston again used its wealth and power to draw the Manned Spaceflight Center to the city in 1961. Space science depended on and attracted massive private sector investment, setting the stage for yet another technological expansion in the age of computing. The Rise of Houston as a Global City will contribute to the growing corpus of studies focused on the history of a major city that, especially in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, blends boots and oil with technology, innovation, and ambition.

 University of Hawai'i Press Emplacing East Timor: Regime Change and Knowledge Production, 1860-2010 Uus! GTIN: 9780824897772 Raamatud Emplacing East Timor explores the relationship between the cycle of regime change and that of knowledge production, offering an alternative framework to periodize the history from 1850s to 2010s. Kisho Tsuchiya shows that the prevailing perceptions of East Timor have been shaped by large-scale wars, postwar consolidation, and the dominance of foreign observers. The transitions that construct what we know about East Timor have followed the rhythm of devastating violence and regime transformations. Playing a role as well are personal, institutional, and geopolitical interests and the creativity of Timorese and foreign observers. Acknowledging this cycle, Tsuchiya interweaves narrative of crucial events and political movements with an analysis of Timors connections to global circulations and historical transitions. He traces key persons and communities that shaped the contour of East Timorfrom Portuguese colonial officers to anthropologists, Japanese occupiers to Australian activists, and Timorese poets to revolutionaries. Their experiences and imaginations of (East) Timor have been expressed through scholarly works, secret documents, policy statements, ceremonies, revolutionary songs, and museums.Using multi-archival historical research, the author introduces sources in several languages and provides missing links, including secret documents in Portuguese archives and the National Archives of Timor-Leste, Japanese wartime sources, and Timorese sources in the Archives of Timorese Resistance. Emplacing East Timor skillfully synthesizes nationalism studies and borderland studies, creating a comprehensive approach to modern East Timorese national imaginings, the historical role of territorial borders, and its postcolonial problems.

 Harvard Educational Publishing Group Reasons Teachers Stay: Lessons from High-Retention Schools, Districts, and Communities Uus! GTIN: 9798895570425 Raamatud A research-based guide uncovering what teachers say keeps them in their schoolsand how leaders can sustain themThe Reasons Teachers Stay offers a powerful new perspective on the urgent issue of teacher retention. While national headlines focus on why so many teachers leave, Douglas B. Larkin and Suzanne Poole Patzelt flip the question to ask: What makes teachers stay? Larkin and Patzelts findings can inform the practice of administrators, school leaders, and teachers in creating supportive work environments within K12 school districts. Drawing on a six-year longitudinal study of US schools, districts, and communities with high rates of teacher retention, the work reveals that sustaining effective teachers in their jobs requires more than just a satisfactory working environment and incentives. Larkin and Patzelt find that teachers are retained when an interrelated set of conditions, including a manageable teaching load, a degree of autonomy, adequate compensation, and supportive relationships with colleagues, are in place to meet their needs. They present their findings using the teacher embeddedness framework to show how fit, interpersonal connections, and school-based/community assets matter more than previously understood. Engaging case studies and interviews with teachers and administrators throughout the book illustrate these concepts in action. The work ends with practical recommendations to enact key tenets of the framework in schools, such as establishing mentorship and induction programs; fostering teacher agency, autonomy, and protection; and providing strong support for teachers of color.

 Duke University Press Precarious Accumulation: Fast Fashion Bosses in Transnational Guangzhou Uus! GTIN: 9781478033097 Raamatud "Precarious Accumulation is an ethnography of migrant entrepreneurs from across China, West Africa, and South Korea participating in fast fashion commodity chains in Guangzhou, China. These entrepreneurs generate new forms of migratory labor, commodity production, and cross-cultural exchange in a globalizing China. Rural migrants from China's countryside collaborate with South Korean jobbers and West African traders as they collectively bridge the transnational supply chains of fast fashion. In their attempts to escape poverty, wage work, and unemployment in their home countries and native places, these migrant entrepreneurs aspire to become good, even godly, model-entrepreneurs by improvising novel forms of subcontracted labor and cross-cultural collaboration. Their attempts, however, engender a world of labor exploitation, racialized policing, and extortion. In this predatory "bust economy," peasant landlords, private officers, and market competitors extract fees and siphon profits from the migrant bosses. Nellie Chu follow the world of this just-in-time production through family based piece-work, where the bosses are both exploited and exploiters, dodging rent collectors and collecting fees. Precarious Accumulation offers a unique close-up of emergentChinese liberal capitalism at the ground level, through the lives of the migrant bosses."-- Nellie Chu tells the story of the migrant entrepreneurs at the heart of Guangzhou, Chinas fast fashion industry as they navigate the high-speed, low-margin world of just-in-time garment production while confronting their dreams of economic freedom with the reality of precarity and daily exploitation and marginalization. In Precarious Accumulation, Nellie Chu tells the story of the migrant entrepreneurs at the heart of Guangzhous fast fashion industryone of the worlds most dynamic hubs of transnational commodity production. Chu shows how rural Chinese migrants, West African traders, and South Korean jobbers navigate the high-speed, low-margin world of just-in-time garment production that fuels the constant accumulation of wealth via global supply chains. Drawing on fieldwork in Guangzhous urban villages and household workshops, Chu outlines how these entrepreneurs dreams of economic freedom clash with the reality of precarity and the exclusions of emigre status. Migrant bosses operate within a highly competitive, informal economy where they are both agents and target of exploitation, as they must evade rent collectors, endure racialized policing, and mitigate extortion from security officers and competitors. Chu crucially demonstrates how their efforts generate novel forms of migratory labor, commodity production, and cross-cultural exchange in postsocialist China.

In recent decades, self-proclaimed independent bookstores have arisen across China. In the West, such retailers represent an alternative to corporations and chains. In China, by contrast, they differentiate themselves from not only the state-owned Xinhua Bookstore but also other privately owned shops through an emphasis on intellectual independence and the free exchange of ideas.Cultural Mavericks takes readers inside the world of independent bookselling in China, showing how a wide range of figures navigate the challenges of book retailing in the digital age amid rapidly shifting social, political, and economic dynamics.

She develops the concept of culturally adapted strategy to explain how independent bookstoresas both dedicated cultural institutions and resilient business enterprisesbalance economic imperatives with a deep commitment to intellectual autonomy.

 Duke University Press Hidden Empire of Finance: How Wall Street Profits from Our Cities and Fuels Global Inequality Uus! GTIN: 9781478033004 Raamatud Hidden Empire of Finance follows the rise of new global cities, tracing their roots back to the 1970s global proliferation of neoliberalism and following their fate in the wake of the 2008 financial collapse. As India, China, and other nations sought to develop urban infrastructures that could compete with western hubs like New York, Paris, and London, large-scale flows of capital intruded into national economies to speculate on the growing real estate market. A web of opaque financial products, such as collateralized debt and real estate investment trusts, became alternative vehicles for the speculators investments, resulting in vast networks of public goods and services that are now owned and controlled by major financial firms located oceans away. Michael Goldman shows that speculative urbanism relies on dispossession and the racialization of institutional practices to fuel finance's insatiable appetite for capital, determining the ways cities across the global South and North are governed. Hidden Empire of Finance explains the rising volatility in cities like Chicago, Madrid, and Bengaluru, seeing them as interconnected through the dark arts of global finance that muscle into everyday life and city government, profiting from racialized dispossession and undermining the right to the city.

 Duke University Press Rescuing the Enlightenment from the Europeans: Critical Theories of Decolonization Uus! GTIN: 9781478032939 Raamatud In Rescuing the Enlightenment from the Europeans, Nikita Dhawan puts the critical project of decolonization into conversation with the Enlightenment. She explores the ethical-political challenges faced by postcolonial thought, which must be articulated using the very language of Enlightenment discourses on human rights, democracy, international law, sovereignty, and justiceeven as these norms are subjects of postcolonial critique. Bridging postcolonial and Holocaust studies, while also highlighting the differences from decolonial approaches, she engages with thinkers ranging from Kant to the Frankfurt school to defend against accusations of normative nihilism, antisemitism, and epistemic servitude to Europe. Dhawan argues that criticizing the Enlightenment and its legacies does not necessarily entail rejecting them, nor does engaging with Enlightenment principles mean endorsing them unconditionally. Instead, she makes a case for rescuing the best aspects of the Enlightenment in order to further the critical project of decolonization. Autorid: Nikita Dhawan | 1 | 31,14 € −1,35 € | Vaata | ||
 University of Hawai'i Press Chasing Traces: History and Ethnography in the Uplands of Socialist Asia Uus! GTIN: 9780824897901 Raamatud In the connected highlands of southwest China, Vietnam, and Laos, recalling the past is a highly sensitive act. Among local societies, many may actively avoid recalling the past for fear of endangering themselves and others. Oral traditions and rare archives remain the main avenues to visit the past, but the national revolutionary narrative and the language of heritagization have strongly affected the local expression of historical memory. Yet this does not prevent local societies from producing their stories in their own terms, even if often in conflict with both national and Western categories. Producing history, ethnohistory, historical anthropology, and historical geography in the Southeast Asian highlands raises significant questions relating to methodology, epistemology, and ethics, for which most researchers are often ill-prepared. How can scholars manage to competently access information about the past? How is one to capture history-in-the-making through events, speech acts, rituals, and performances? How is the memory of the past transmittedor notand with what logic?Based on the experiences and reflections of a dozen diverse scholars rooted in decades of work in these three communist states, Chasing Traces is the first book about historical ethnography and related issues in the Southeast Asian highlands. Taking a critically reflexive posture, the authors make a plea for the individual, the hidden, and the backstage, for what life is really like on the ground, as opposed to imagined homogeneity, legibility, and unambiguousness. Their investigations on the history of ethnic minority communities adds archival historiography to ethnographic fieldwork and examines the relationship between the two fields. The individual chapters each tell distinctive stories of the conjunction of fieldwork, archival research, official surveillance, community participation, cultural norms, partnership with local scholars, and the other factors that both facilitate and frustrate the research enterprise of writing about the past in these societies. A timely work, this volume also provides guidelines for alternative ways to document and reflect when physical access becomes limited due to factors such as pandemic, political instability, and violence, and offers creative ways for researchers to cope with these dramatic shifts.

 ECW Press,Canada Golden Generation: How Canada Became a Basketball Powerhouse No Edition Uus! GTIN: 9781770417991 Raamatud Discover the untold story of Canadian mens basketball, from Steve Nashs breakthrough at the 2000 Olympics to two decades of struggle, controversy, and missed opportunity. The Golden Generation follows the Canadian basketball journey from obscurity to resurgence as NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and a new generation of stars propel Canada back to international glory. When Steve Nash led an underdog Team Canada to the 2000 Olympics, many assumed the golden age of Canadian basketball was at hand. Instead, it took 24 years for the Canadian men to get back to international basketballs biggest stage, with a wave of immigration pushing the sport into every corner of the country and a new generation of superstars blossoming into household names. How did we get here? And why did it take so long? In The Golden Generation, basketball journalist Oren Weisfeld uncovers the growth of Canadian basketball through the lens of Team Canada and its most influential figures, alternating between key moments in the rise of the Canadian mens national team, innovations in the grassroots community, and profiles of Canadas top players. Through over 100 original interviews, The Golden Generation explores the role racism played in the national teams early struggles, how pioneers like Cory Joseph and Tristan Thompson paved a new path for high schoolers to follow, the enigma that is Andrew Wiggins, and the backstories of the core group of players that brought Canada back to the Olympics, including superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Canadian basketball has come a long way over the past 25 years, with a record number of NBA players, a sophisticated grassroots infrastructure, and a top-ranked national team. But many trailblazers had to take their hits to lay the foundation for the current players to thrive. The Golden Generation puts all the pieces and players together to explain how Canada became a basketball country with a bright future ahead. Autorid: Oren Weisfeld | 1 | 23,75 € | Vaata | ||

This book brings the latest research and evolving historiographical developments on the Hispanic Atlantic world to a student audience. It highlights how the histories of diverse groups of individuals under Spanish rule were integral to Atlantic developments and dynamics.The Hispanic Atlantic was a profoundly interconnected and dynamic region whose history is central to understanding the broader Atlantic and the early modern world. Traditional histories of the Atlantic often marginalize the Hispanic sphere, while those focusing on Colonial Latin America can downplay the regions connections to, and interactions with, the wider world. Examining the region's past from a broad range of perspectives provides deeper appreciation of its complexity. Topics covered range from imperial governance to Catholic practices and institutions; the importance of contraband and smuggling; the impact of Atlantic dynamics on Indigenous people and children; the challenges of studying the African diaspora; the ambivalence and contradictions inherent in hybrid cultures; the importance of transoceanic circulation of knowledge and plants; and new approaches to the collapse of Spains Atlantic empire and the abolition of slavery in the Spanish Caribbean.This engaging volume will be an exciting addition to advanced undergraduate courses on Atlantic, Global, or Latin American History.

GTIN: 9781041115878 Raamatud This book takes a deep dive into the psychological underpinnings that motivate students to act in ways that subvert our intended curricular plans. It aims to enhance the educators own metacognitive awareness and capacities in order to be more flexibile and compassionate when working with students who challenge classroom norms. This book takes a deep dive into the psychological underpinnings that motivate students to act in ways that subvert our intended curricular plans. The book classifies student subversions into two distinct categories: (i) obstructive subversions, which occur when the psychological needs of the student overwhelm or override the teachers intended goals, and (ii) constructive subversions, which occur when students perform unexpected acts that defy the educators implicit expectations but do so through actions that align in surprising ways with the educators intentions. Through a narrative style that highlights case studies from 25 years of classroom experience at the high school, university, and graduate level, the book aims to help educators understand and query the types of psychological foundations that give rise to unexpected, boundary-pushing attitudes and behaviors among students. The goal of Teaching in the Riptide is to embolden educators to deepen their understanding of the cultural roots and emotional forces that compel students to subvert. In the process, the book aims to enhance the educators own metacognitive awareness and capacities, so that they can act with more flexibility and compassion when working with students who challenge classroom norms. As we are living during a time of rapidly accelerating cultural change, innovation, and adversity, this book will serve as an invaluable tool for educators striving for personal authenticity and practical guidance to teach with greater effectiveness and serve the diverse needs of their students. Teaching in the Riptide will appeal to a broad spectrum of readersstudents, researchers, teacher-educators, educators, pre-service teachers working in the fields of Classroom Management, Educational Psychology, Philosophy of Education, and Pedagogy.

 Taylor & Francis Ltd Critical Success Factors: How to Effectively Identify, Measure, and Apply CSFs Uus! GTIN: 9781041199731 Raamatud This book is the only resource that equips managers with a practical framework to accurately identify, measure, and apply their Critical Success Factors (CSFs)making it unique in the field. This book is the only resource that equips managers with a practical framework to accurately identify, measure, and apply their Critical Success Factors (CSFs)making it unique in the field. Unlike previous efforts that relied on broad surveys and statistical analyses intended to generate generalized lists of CSFs, this approach honors the foundational definition of CSFs and provides actionable guidance tailored to each managers unique context.The shortcomings of other methods stem from two critical missteps: (1) overlooking that CSFs are defined as activities, not merely conditions for success and (2) failing to recognize that CSFs are specific to the individual managers role and environment. Moreover, while this book recommends that a manager identify no more than ten CSFs to maintain clarity and focus, some studies have proposed as many as 43, creating confusion and diminishing usability. Each of those studies produced a different list of project management CSFs, none of which were validated to assess whether the factors were applied effectively or contributed to actual success.In contrast, this bookbased on original research with experienced program managers overseeing large, complex initiativesoffers a generalizable process that any manager can use to determine their specific CSFs. It is the only guide that shows managers how to: identify their own CSFs; develop measurable indicators for tracking each CSF; and perform a spreadsheet-based risk assessment for each factor.This risk analysis framework enables leaders to evaluate the likelihood of completing each CSF successfully and assess overall program risksomething no other publication provides with this level of depth or practicality.Designed as a step-by-step guide, the book leads managers through gathering relevant information, structuring their findings, defining each CSF, and refining associated metrics over time. Uniquely, it incorporates a fully developed Risk Analysis Process, giving managers tools to anticipate challenges and proactively manage success. Autorid: James H. Dobbins | 1 | 52,74 € | Vaata | ||

THE DESIGN FLAWTechnical teams build capabilities but often lack business context. Business leaders demand solutions but rarely fully understand technical constraints. Data teams control the raw material but are often disconnected from both. And when things go sidewaysas they often dothe fingerpointing begins.This isnt a minor coordination issue; its a fundamental design flaw in how organizations approach artificial intelligence (AI)and a fundamental failure in how we create, capture, connect, and communicate its value. It is also a failure in our underlying understanding of how to get value from AI.The Values of Artificial Intelligence shows how to fix this flawnot through reorganization or the usual buzzwords, but through frameworks that make value creation truly broadly-owned when it succeeds and accountable when it fails.The tools in these pages are practical, tested, and deeply humandesigned to bridge what technology delivers with what people ultimately value.
