Add to basketHard Back. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Trade Edition Stated. 180 Pages. Orange boards with black spine lettering. When you start reading, you smile: Some days hang over Manhattan like a huge pair of unseen pincers, slowly squeezing the city until you can hardly breathe. A low growl of thunder ec…hoed up the cavern of Fifth Avenue and I looked up to where the sky started at the seventy-first floor of the Empire State Building. I could smell the rain. It was the kind that hung above the orderly piles of concrete until it was soaked with dust and debris and when it came down it wasn't rain at all, but the sweat of the city. If you're old enough to recognize the voice, you know that the 'T' is Mike Hammer, and you guess, rightly, that since the verbal skills are back, so are the skills in love and detection. If you're too young to know Hammer from anything but the television series, you realize you're in for a treat - and what a special treat it is! For from the moment that Hammer walks into his office to find his beloved secretary, Velda, knocked unconscious and a strange man, brutally murdered, occupying the office chair, you're in for one of the fastest-paced, sexiest, most brilliantly plotted adventures the great detective has ever encountered, a tale that leads from the discovery of a mysterious toolbox through involvement with a drug ring, two smashingly beautiful women and the CIA, to a last-page showdown with the villain that could only come from the mind of Mickey Spillane. In a Time magazine survey done in 1968 of best-selling books published in this century, seven of the top twenty-five were by Mickey Spillane. The Killing Man demonstrates why. In 1947, Spillane introduced the world to Mike Hammer in his fIrst book, I The Jury. The Killing Man is the twelfth Mike Hammer novel and the first since 1970. Spillane, who has been described as the most widely read writer in the history of all mankind, has written a total of twenty-four books, with total worldwide sales in excess of 130 million. Korn, Robert - Dust Jacket (illustrator).

Paperback. Condition: New. 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 exclus…ive 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.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The ultimate test of management is performance - theachievement of actual results. Why, then, do Australian managersconcern themselves with their colleagues personalities andmotives? Why have they become infatuated with emotionalintelligence and, in bizarre cases, with spiritual intelligence…?Traditionally, managers who performed earned the right to arguewith their colleagues. Nowadays, individuals who argue are said tolack soft skills while a sad few are thought to be suffering froma personality disorder.The popularity of soft-skill management has createdpsychomanagers: managers who have entered into aFaustian bargain with psychologists. Some managers workwith psychologists to master themselves; others work withpsychologists to master other people. As psychomanagementrequires specialised knowledge, many Australian managers haveyielded their authority to counsellors, coaches and consultants,many of whom believe that human behaviour is determined byinternal and external forces over which individuals have little orno control. Accordingly, psychologists have laboured to absorbthe idea of the free and responsible individual into a pseudoscientificframework that denies moral agency. The result is thatideas of right and wrong have been replaced with healthy andsick. In their pursuit of a therapeutic state, psychologists havemedicalised morality and managers have embraced powerfulmyths about minds, motive-forces, personality traits, socialconditioning, leadership, occupational stress and mental illness.Consequently, the twin ideas of personal freedom and responsibilityhave been sabotaged.This book is about Australian managers and their long-standinglove affair with psychologists. For fifty years the author hasstudied, taught and consulted with managers and waltzed withseveral famous psychologists. An Australian Affair.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book discusses ten philosophical perspectives, or worldviews, which present original ideas capable of evoking in us values that are guidelines for personal conduct. Harmonising knowledge, values and conduct maximises our personal power and thereby enables us to solve the practical and p…sychological problems of human existence, or overcome those that cannot be solved. The philosophers discussed in this book embody ideas of considerable fascination and force which can change our lives by penetrating the illusions of appearance and the delusions of common sense. As philosophy is thinking critically about thinking, it is a liberating activity because philosophers confront us with our prejudices and arouse our curiosity without satisfying it.hey show us what they were and how philosophy inspired them to live productive lives. They did not seek disciples but encouraged others to philosophise with them. How can we gain insight into and mastery of ourselves? Entering the world of the great philosophers and engaging with them, we become aware of what we are capable of becoming. They speak to us of themselves and the good life and thereby offer the possibility for self-development. While this sounds like psychology, it is what the ancient Greeks called moral philosophy and its main precept is 'know oneself'. To know oneself is to embrace one's personal power. From Socrates to Sartre, from Plato to postmodernism, philosophers have important things to say about the personal power that underpins human existence. This book discusses ten philosophical perspectives, or worldviews, which present original ideas capable of evoking in us values that are guidelines for personal conduct. Harmonising knowledge, values and conduct maximises our personal power and thereby enables us to solve the practical and psychological problems of human existence, or overcome those that cannot be solved. The philosophers discussed in this book embody ideas of considerable fascination and force which can change our lives by penetrating the illusions of appearance and the delusions of common sense. As philosophy is thinking critically about thinking, it is a liberating activity because philosophers confront us with our prejudices and arouse our curiosity without satisfying it. They show us what they were and how philosophy inspired them to live productive lives. They did not seek disciples but encouraged others to philosophise with them. We cannot escape from philosophy because we philosophise when we reflect critically on how well we are living. Philosophy is, therefore, a meditation on who we are and what we can become: it is an eye for an I. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The book discusses Bacon, Descartes, Bayle, Fontenelle, Hobbes, Locke, Berkeley, Hume, Voltaire, Rousseau, Diderot, d'Alembert, La Mettrie, Holbach, Kant, Schiller and many other philosophers. These philosophers were united in their belief that reason rather than revelation is the primary so…urce of authority and they courageously attempted to destroy traditional, superstitious and religious ideas and replace them with a liberal, rational and humane worldview. This books is a declaration of respect and admiration for these philosophers.Threatened and attacked in their time, they are today ignored or ridiculed by those who fear or wish to suppress the truths of human existence. The challenge today is to find eccentrics enlightened enough to argue that the age which venerated reason and science as humankind's highest faculty must not be lost to us. All those interested in philosophy will enjoy this important contribution to the literature. This book is a declaration of respect and admiration for the philosophers who had the courage to publicly use their reason in the service of truth.
