Abstract:

Real-life parables illustrate practical communication tools that can be used by both caregivers and the recipients of that care. This is a companion volume to The Weeping Willow: Encounters with Grief (OUP, 2007), and it presents more complex encounters and nuanced emotions, based upon additional years of experience. Each chapter contains a vignette, with teaching notes frequently embedded in the story as “aside” comments. They also contain “Notes to the Practitioner” and conclusions. The Notes section specifically address preparedness for common end-of-life situations with professional direct

Abstract:

This chapter discusses Jane Bolin's career in the legal profession and the lived experiences that produced her as the nation's first African American woman judge. A member of a small unit of black women lawyers, Bolin's early practice mirrored that of other black women lawyers who gained entrance, but not full integration, into the legal profession. Jane's strides in the legal profession from 1931 to 1939 were made relatively quickly, suggesting a tale of easy access and an unobstructed path. However, an examination of her professional life beyond the pioneering peaks reveals the pervasive dis

This unique book is an essential resource for interdisciplinary research and scholarship on the phenomenon of feeling called to a life path or vocation at the interface of science and religion.

What are the potential mental, spiritual, and even physical benefits of following the calling to take a particular path in life?

Abstract:

A state-of-the-art guide to the world of library and information science that gives readers valuable insights into the field and practical tools to succeed in it. As the field of information science continues to evolve, professional-level opportunities in traditional librarianship―especially in school and public libraries―have stalled and contracted, while at the same time information-related opportunities in non-library settings continue to expand. These two coinciding trends are opening up many new job opportunities for LIS professionals, but the challenge lies in helping them (and LIS stude

A compelling look at the challenges facing LGBTQ+ professionals as they navigate their careers – with advice from many senior figures who have smashed their own rainbow ceilings. There are currently only four LGBTQ+ CEOs across all Fortune 500 and FTSE 100 companies who are out at work, and just 0.8% of Fortune 500 board positions are filled by LGBTQ+ people. This deficit, occurring across sectors and around the world, reveals a diversity gap playing out in today’s workplace: LGBTQ+ people are less likely to reach the top jobs. But what is holding LGBTQ+ people back at work – and what can be d

When Akiko was in her forties, her brother became the head of their mother's music school, forcing her towards major life decisions—including a career as a professional jiuta performer, rather than a teacher. Following a path of independence, passion, and inspiration, Akiko chose to break new ground by adapting her performance style to draw in audiences and create i

Abstract:

This book delves into the life and times of piano virtuoso Fannie Bloomfield-Zeisler. When Fannie Bloomfield embarked on her career as a pianist in 1883, she was greeted with a very different and much smaller musical world. There were fewer music conservatories. The primary path to professional eminence ran narrowly through elite European training and mastery of the German–Austrian repertoire. This book explores Bloomfield-Zeisler's life and career and how she became one of the foremost pianists of her generation. It presents anecdotes that humanize Bloomfield-Zeisler and make her more than a

Abstract:

With compliance now its main goal, human resource management has become a hodgepodge of unconnected functions and tasks. Williams argues persuasively that lost in the day-to-day effort is another, equally important goal: employee and organizational development. One result is that human resource management has lost credibility as a profession and in its own way, much like many of the organizations it serves, has become dysfuntional. To correct this imbalance—compliance over development—and in fact to salvage the HR profession itself Williams challenges HR people to abandon their search for powe

Crushed by this sudden change, hundreds of migrants purposefully chose this site at the very edge of the border to create a camp motivated by both the fear of conditions in Mexico and the desire to show strength through their publicly visible presence.
