The Cultural Critics From Matthew Arnold to Raymond Williams

The Cultural Critics From Matthew Arnold to Raymond Williams

Originally published in 1979 the central focus of this study is the concept of culture as employed by English literary intellectuals over the preceding 100 years a period characterized by a constant process of re-definition and change. The tradition of criticism in which these intellectuals wrote represented the artistic imagination as a moral force in society and a fundamental mechanism for social change. The author traces this tradition through the writings of various English intellectuals using the three main figures of Matthew Arnold F. R. Leavis and Raymond Williams to elucidate the concept. She shows through the writings of their contemporaries how the concept was employed and modified and her analysis ranges from J. S. Mill John Ruskin and William Morris through George Bernard Shaw D. H. Lawrence T. S. Eliot and R. H. Tawney to Richard Hoggard Richard Wollheim and R. S. Peters. By discussing the questions of the role of art in society and examining their treatment by different groups of intellectuals the author has supplied a basis for a forceful critique of the quality of life in modern industrial society. This book will be of interest to students of literature cultural history and the sociology of culture. | The Cultural Critics From Matthew Arnold to Raymond Williams

Risk-Based Thinking Managing the Uncertainty of Human Error in Operations

Risk-Based Thinking Managing the Uncertainty of Human Error in Operations

Society at large tends to misunderstand what safety is all about. It is not just the absence of harm. When nothing bad happens over a period of time how do you know you are safe? In reality safety is what you and your people do moment by moment day by day to protect assets from harm and to control the hazards inherent in your operations. This is the purpose of risk-based thinking the key element of the six building blocks of Human and Organizational Performance (H&OP). Generally H&OP provides a risk-based approach to managing human performance in operations. But specifically risk-based thinking enables foresight and flexibility—even when surprised—to do what is necessary to protect assets from harm but also achieve mission success despite ongoing stresses or shocks to the operation. Although you cannot prepare for every adverse scenario you can be ready for almost anything. When risk-based thinking is integrated into the DNA of an organization’s way of doing business people will be ready for most unexpected situations. Eventually safety becomes a core value not a priority to be negotiated with others depending on circumstances. This book provides a coherent perspective on what executives and line managers within operational environments need to focus on to efficiently and effectively control learn and adapt. | Risk-Based Thinking Managing the Uncertainty of Human Error in Operations

Eel Physiology

Eel Physiology

Eel of the genus Anguilla is an extraordinary fish which due to its particular life cycle has fascinated biologists and physiologists ever since the pioneering works of Homer H. Schmidt in the 1930s. The Eel has become an excellent model for various aspects of adaptive physiological research. Despite that several books dealing with eel biology aquaculture fishing etc. have been published but there still is a need for a text dealing with eel physiology. This book fills a void in eel literature by presenting various aspects of eel physiology in one comprehensive volume. With its numerous figures and tables and an extensive up-to-date bibliography it will be of interest not only to researchers and students but also to people engaged in applied research in fishery and aquaculture. Eel is a commercially important fish but it must be protected from over‐exploitation; as such conservation measures are necessary. It is hoped that this book will stimulate and suggest new lines of research.

Designing and Using Organizational Surveys

Designing and Using Organizational Surveys

Organizational surveys are widely recognized as a powerful tool for measuring and improving employee commitment. If poorly designed and administered however they can create disappointment and cynicism. There are many excellent books on sampling methodology and statistical analysis but little has been written so far for those responsible for designing and implementing surveys in organizations. Now Allan H Church and Janine Waclawski have drawn on their extensive experience in this field to develop a seven-step model covering the entire process from initiation to final evaluation. They explain in detail how to devise and administer different types of organizational surveys leading the reader systematically through the various stages involved. Their text is supported throughout by examples specimen documentation work sheets and case studies from a variety of organizational settings. They pay particular attention to the political and human sensitivities concerned and show how to surmount the many potential barriers to a successful outcome. Designing and Using Organizational Surveys is a highly practical guide to one of the most effective methods available for organizational diagnosis and change.
