In its consideration of American Indian literature as a rich and exciting body of work, The Voice in the Margin
invites us to broaden our notion of what a truly inclusive American
literature might be, and of how it might be placed in relation to an
international--a "cosmopolitan"--literary canon. The book comes at a
time when the most influential national media have focused attention on
the subject of the literary canon. They have made it an issue not
merely of academic but of general public concern, expressing strong
opinions on the subject of what the American student should or should
not read as essential or core texts. Is the literary canon simply a
given of tradition and history, or is it, and must it be, constantly
under construction? The question remains hotly contested to the present
moment.
This third edition includes updates in manufacturing logistics, integrated logistics, process design and home delivery and brand new sections on warehouse receipt and dispatch. Also contains an thorough explanation of new technologies such as radio frequency identification (RFID), voice technology, satellite crane systems and dynamic pick systems.
This book reveals what people have wanted to know about the human
condition from the very beginning of time: What are feelings for?
Within its pages, you will discover the secret language of feelings.
That language is a voice within us. Sometimes it is as soft as a
whisper; sometimes it is as loud as a roar. It is an important voice,
which, when fully understood, gives you a kind of guidance that no
other voice can.
Stephen Covey - The 8th Habit (Unabridged 8hrs)
The original seven habits of highly successful people are still
relevant, but Covey, author of the mega-bestseller of that title, says
that the new Information/Knowledge Worker Age, exemplified by the
Internet, calls for an eighth habit to achieve personal and
organizational excellence: "Find your voice and inspire others to find
theirs." Covey sees leadership "as a choice to deal with people in a
way that will communicate to them their worth and potential so clearly
they will come to see it in themselves." His holistic approach starts
with developing one's own voice, one's "unique personal significance."
The bulk of the book details how, after finding your own voice, you can
inspire others and create a workplace where people feel engaged. This
includes establishing trust, searching for third alternatives (not a
compromise between your way and my way, but a third, better way) and
developing a shared vision. This book isn't easy going; less business
jargon and more practical examples would have made this livelier and
more helpful. But if organizations operated with Covey's ideas—and
ideals—most people would undoubtedly find work much more satisfying.
