The Management of Scientific Integrity within Academic Medical Centers discusses the impact scientific misconduct has in eight complex case studies. Authors look at multifaceted mixtures of improper behavior, poor communication, cultural issues, adverse medical/health issues, interpersonal problems and misunderstandings to illustrate the challenge of identifying and managing what went wrong and how current policies have led to the establishment of quasi legal processes within academic institutions. The book reviews the current global regulations and concludes with a section authored by a US federal court judge who provides his perspective on the adequacy of current regulations and policies.

The Creative Power: Transforming Ourselves, Our Organizations, and Our World

Over the last two decades a major focus of organization theory has been on understanding the dynamic relationships between individuals, organizations and their environments. This interest in dynamics, illustrated by systems, chaos, and complexity theory, is recorded in the works of Ackoff, Senge, and Stacey. This focus offers a new viewpoint on holism for practising leaders and theorists today. Building on this interest, Smith’s original text presents a new philosophical lens for helping leaders see the advantages of a more holistic approach to improving organizations. Specifically he: <ul>
<li>introduces the AIC (appreciation, influence, control) philosophy, model, and process of purpose-power relationships as a next step in the evolution of organization and systems theory </li> <li>traces its roots and evolution in organization theory and indicates its actual and potential contribution to that field </li> <li>translates the model into a transformative, strategic organizing process that can be used to organize at any level, in a way that will ensure the achievement of higher levels of purpose, at less cost and in less time than traditional organizational approaches.</li>
</ul>
Developed and tested via his work for organizations including the World Bank, this revolutionary book will change the way organizations and individuals work.

Merriam Press World War 2 Memoir SeriesThe history of D-Day on Omaha Red is not complete without this book. Capt. William C. Smith Jr. was the first man on Omaha Red two hours before the invasion. For his service, he received a Bronze Star with V for valor. He has also been inducted into the Ohio Military Hall of Fame for Valor. His story explains how the invasion was different from those of North Africa and Sicily. It also describes in detail how he and the other nine men trained for this most difficult and dangerous job—calling fire from the Navy ships against the German defenses on that fateful day that changed history forever. But this work also brings the relationships between soldiers to life with humor and a depth of emotion seldom described in other works. It is so powerful because it is told in first person by the man that lived through the four and a half years of World War II. It was written from more than 100 hours of interviews by the authors. The work begins from the 1st Division's invasion of North Africa and continues through the breach of the German border. It includes the struggles of the wives and families that were left behind waiting for their loved ones to return from Europe. Unlike so many histories, this work also details the unique bond between soldiers that forms from mutual dependence. Captain Smith's relationship with his driver and close friend Sampson gives the work the humanity missing from other memoirs. This was a story that had to be told, and now it has so that we may better understand the sacrifices these men made in the name of liberty.ContentsChapter 1: In the Beginning There Was North AfricaChapter 2: Then There Was SicilyChapter 3: Practice Makes PerfectChapter 4: D-Day: The Hardest 24 Hours of My LifeChapter 5: Life in the GrasshopperChapter 6: The Liberation of Paris and the Path to BelgiumChapter 7: The Battle of Mons and the Liberation of BelgiumChapter 8: Welcome to Germany … Sort ofChapter 9: A Lady in Waiting: One World War II Wife’s StoryChapter 10: Life on the Home Front: For Those Who Were Left Behind
