    Overcoming Managerialism
    Managerialism has often been defined as an ideology, according to which the effective and efficient running of commercial firms, not-for-profit organizations and public administrations is delivered by individuals who possess superior formal knowledge and expertise in management. Arguing to their exclusive education, managers deprive employers and employees of decision-making power and ensconce themselves systematically in the power structure of workplaces to advance their own interests and agenda. The central thesis of Overcoming Managerialism is that resisting and overcoming managerialism necessitates the re-establishing of the conceptual distinction between power and authority. Second, it requires the rehabilitating of authoritative management as a protection against authoritarian practices. Authority, properly conceived, redirects power to technical experts and professionals and thereby limits managerial power. The authors discuss ten contentions which, taken together, represent a theory of the foundation of management in which authority, power and rhetoric are central concepts.This book combines academic scholarship with a readable critique of managerialism. It will be of interest to both management scholars and students.

    The Game Changer: A Memoir of Disruptive Love , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 292min
    To make an open marriage work, Franklin and Celeste knew they needed to make sure no one else ever came between them. That meant there had to be rules. No overnights, no falling in love, and either one of them could ask the other to end an outside relationship if it became too much to deal with. It worked for nearly two decades, and their relentless focus on their own relationship let them turn a blind eye to the emotional wreckage they were leaving behind them. The rules did not prepare them for Amber. "I have a question," Amber would say. And whatever came next would send a wrecking ball through Franklin and Celeste's comforting illusions. Amber was the first of Franklin s polyamorous secondary partners to insist on being treated like a person, and the first to peel back the layers of insecurity and fear that surrounded their relationship. Amber was a game changer. A game-changing relationship is one that uproots and redirects your life. It overthrows your assumptions about who you are and why. It awakens you to possibilities you'd never conceived of. It disrupts. And it is the unspoken elephant in the attractive showroom of polyamorous relationships. This book is the true story of a game-changing relationship that changed not only Franklin and Celeste's lives, but the face of the modern polyamory movement. A game-changing relationship can happen to anyone. How will you handle it when it happens to you? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joe Fulgham, Sasja Towe.

    Prevailing Prayers of Intercession and Supplication: A Handbook Manual for Prayer Generals , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 210min
    Those who pray know that prayer gets answered by God. In the ecological culture of prayer and its sublime gestational realm, spiritual phenomena metamorphose into tangible physical realities as a well-sculpted script in its gamut of performance delivery. Divinity rules in the affairs of men on this side of the divide depending on how well-guided prayer pundits are.This book, Prevailing Prayers of Intercession and Supplication Guides, sets out to sensitize and equip listeners by giving a sense of proper direction through a biblical predisposition to the fact that an unanswered prayer is never God’s desire. Prayers channeled through the holy vessels of God are honored by God. Hence, Psalms 66:18 says, “If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me."There are several kinds of prayer, but a prayer of intercession involves standing in the gap as a bridge for others’ welfare to turn things around and sustain positive changes. It redirects the vicissitudes of life and makes living much better for both the prospects or targets of prayer and its subjects who can spare time to be with God without selfishness and bitterness.Intercessory prayer moves mountains, removes barriers, breaks yokes or chains, lifts burdens, rolls away sorrows, gives victory in every battle of life, provides calmness in crisis, and eases perplexing situations confronting believers and the world itself in its socioeconomic and political landscapes.In the same breath, through prayers of supplication, we receive assurance, protection, authority, and dominion. It reveals our dependence on God, takes us to the realm of the supernatural, and moves God to act on our behalves. In these last days, believers have to be guided to repair the altar of prayer and get acquainted with God more than ever before according to Job 22:21-30. Many saints of old left us their footprints in the ministry of intercession and supplication, among whom are Abraham, Moses ungekürzt.

    Inventing William of Norwich (eBook, ePUB)
    William of Norwich is the name of a young boy purported to have been killed by Jews in or about 1144, thus becoming the victim of the first recorded case of such a ritual murder in Western Europe and a seminal figure in the long history of antisemitism. His story is first told in Thomas of Monmouth's The Life and Miracles of William of Norwich, a work that elaborates the bizarre allegation, invented in twelfth-century England, that Jews kidnapped Christian children and murdered them in memory and mockery of the crucifixion of Christ.In Inventing William of Norwich Heather Blurton resituates Thomas's account by offering the first full analysis of it as a specifically literary work. The second half of the twelfth century was a time of great literary innovation encompassing an efflorescence of saints' lives and historiography, as well as the emergence of vernacular romance, Blurton observes. She examines The Life and Miracles within the framework of these new textual developments and alongside innovations in liturgical and devotional practices to argue that the origin of the ritual murder accusation is imbricated as much in literary culture as it is in the realities of Christian-Jewish relations or the emergence of racially based discourses of antisemitism. Resisting the urge to interpret this first narrative of the blood libel with the hindsight knowledge of later developments, she considers only the period from about 1150-1200. In so doing, Blurton redirects critical attention away from the social and economic history of the ritual murder accusation to the textual genres and tastes that shaped its forms and themes and provided its immediate context of reception. Thomas of Monmouth's narrative in particular, and the ritual murder accusation more generally, were strongly shaped by literary convention.
