Cet ouvrage s'adresse essentiellement aux chefs ou dirigeants d'entreprise, aux personnes qui souhaitent s'engager dans cette carriere et aux conseillers en gestion. Les auteurs sont tous trois des specialistes du conseil en management et de la formation a la gestion, qui ont travaille pour des entreprises appartenant a des branches tres diverses des services, du commerce ou de l'industrie, dans les pays developpes comme dans les pays en developpement. L'ouvrage comprend trois parties. La partie I evoque la personnalite et le comportement du chef d'entreprise.

Cet ouvrage devrait etre un instrument utile de formation dans un secteur dont on mesure mieux aujourd'hui l'importance economique et sociale et le role dans le developpement.

Wind Energy Design provides an understanding of how wind farm design impacts wind turbine performance and offers rigorous design optimization coverage. It explores the blade design features, including aerodynamics, structures, and environmental impact, that yield an efficient rotor. Demonstrating how theoretical aspects can be applied to produce a new conceptual wind energy design, the book addresses topics on wind characteristics and modeling, rotor aerodynamics, lightweight and flexible structures, wind farm aerodynamics, wind turbine control, acoustics, energy storage, and economics. The new edition features new sections on minimizing the costs of electricity and wind farm design for maximum energy capture. It includes a new case study on deployable wind turbines for defense and disaster response missions. This book is intended for upper-level undergraduate engineering students taking courses in Renewable Energy, Wind Power, Energy Systems, and Energy Conversion. Instructors will be able to utilize a Solutions Manual and Figure Slides for their course.

In this book, Robert Nelson reminds us that one of the most important elements of teaching and learning is to inspire and to be inspired. Given that inspiration itself has evolved through metaphor, the inquiry distinguishes inspirational learning by its peculiarly metaphoric character. We acknowledge that students respond to passion and enthusiasm, that they seek stimulation, purpose, motivation and inspiration. But because these triggers operate through mysterious language and arrive at their modern usage through metaphor, we have no means of penetrating their structure or gaining access to their powers. We mishandle educational practice through a focus on technical process and machinery rather than the imaginary animating vision that propagates inspired study through metaphor. This book corrects the imbalance and argues that metaphors are intrinsic to all our educational ambitions. It reveals the wide metaphorical backdrop of learning and teaching that works on an unconscious level and is only revealed through analysing the language that describes what matters most. Inviting readers to explore learning in a non-traditional way, this book will be of interest to researchers and students in education seeking to understand better the nature of inspiration.

Imagine a world where the COVID-19 virus turned out to be something much worse, a modern plague of biblical proportions. In a little farming town in Oregon, John Fide and his family find themselves in just such a scenario. One terrible day, John finds himself surrounded by death, and the entire world is devastated by the modern-day plague. The majority of the population throughout the world has been taken by the plague. Inexplicably, John and his family seem immune to the plague. Suddenly, all the things that John and his family had relied on are useless: money, credit cards, cell phones, and computers. The whole infrastructure of society is gone. Soon there is no electricity, and water no longer flows through the faucets. There is no longer a government; there are no police or emergency personnel that can be called upon for help. Now, John and his family can only rely on themselves, their faith, and their own ingenuity to survive. However, as if the struggle to survive after the plague is not enough, there is a growing evil on the horizon that is threatening to take away all that they have built, threatening even to take their lives. Through triumph and tragedy, and a little help from above, John must find a way to protect those he loves while holding on to his faith, his humor, his integrity, and his sanity in a dog-eat-dog world.

In Creativity Crisis, Robert Nelson argues that university education is systematically uncreative and suggests how this might be changed. Constructive alignment, the centrepiece of today's university pedagogy, promotes mechanistic thinking and the anxious gathering of manipulative skills. Learning happens more effectively when students take their study in new directions derived from their intimate, imagined relations with the new material they are encountering. Richly steeped in the history of ideas, from ancient Greece to the present, this book radically revises the concept of student-centredness, explores the language that encourages creativity, and helps teachers cultivate imaginative enthusiasm. *** "Creativity Crisis is essential reading for those concerned with the nature and quality of instruction at the university level. This book is one of a kind. Robert's purpose is to arrive at a creative new vision, where education is less constrained, less instrumentalist, more encouraging and open to the imagination."--Prof. David Boud, Director, Centre For Research in Assessment And Digital Learning, Deakin U.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.
