Denys Turner is one of the most accomplished thinkers in contemporary theology. His distinctive contribution to topics as diverse as theology and politics and mysticism and theology is characterized by an incisive iconoclasm and a fervent desire to get at the truth of things. Time and again the author offers striking and original observations, which put new perspectives on familiar subjects. While Faith Seeking originated as talks given to a wide variety of audiences, it uniformly attempts to reconcile the apparently conflicting -- but as the author sees it, complementary -- outlooks of head and heart. Its fundamental theme is that the mind cm love just as the heart needs to understand and that a proper use of intellect is a way of being truly alive.

The biological and psychological basis of pet therapy / animal-assisted therapy and what this means for practice: "A comprehensive, scientific foundation for human-animal therapy" Judith Solomon In recent years, the ancient symbiosis between humans and their pets has entered a new phase, marked by the burgeoning clinical specialty of humananimal therapy. This approach uses the relationship between humans and their (mainly) mammalian pets to support the growth of emotion regulation, social skills, and mental health in children, youths, and adults. But how are humans and animals able to develop close bonds at all? What makes it possible for animals to have a therapeutic effect on humans? And how can we best use this understanding in animal-assisted therapy? In this unique book, a team of expert biologists and psychologists integrate and combine sophisticated biological and psychological knowledge to answer these questions. Together they have created a comprehensive, scientific foundation for human-animal therapy, a foundation that will facilitate the development, implementation, and evaluation of effective new interventions

Fulham's Promotion Season

DB Publishing

This is a collection of 100 key matches that bring to life the history of Fulham FC. It features all the essential milestones - victories, defeats, promotions and relegations. Allowing for the changes in the way media has covered football, the history of Fulham Football Club can be told through the stories of the major matches, which is what this book is attempting to do. The size and quality of the reports usually reflects the Cottagers' standing in football's hierarchy, and the bigger the game in a general context (FA Cup semi-final, promotion/relegation decider, and European match), the better the report. But a story develops which charts the path of a club with humble beginnings that rose and fell several times over the last 100 years. In fact, the recent depths were lower and current highs higher than any that preceded them. Reading them chronologically, the history of Fulham Football Club unfolds; and not just the good news. In most cases, the matches picked themselves and quite naturally are spread relatively evenly across the last 100 years or so.

To achieve sustained high performance, organizations need more than the operational capabilities we recognize as familiar and essential management skills and techniques. There are a few key capabilities vital to success in virtually all change situations, and these are different from those capabilities needed to achieve high performance in the here and now. These reshaping capabilities provide the basis for organizational renewal and yet they seem to elude a great many organizations. In an extensive study of 243 cases of organizational change in private and public sector organizations, the authors found that: there was at least one major setback in 67% of the change attempts surveyed 47% of the cases were hit by two major setbacks 29% experienced no less than three. Yet in 88% of cases, executives felt that the new directions they were pursuing were right, and 92% felt that the changes were not beyond their firms capacity to achieve. The reality proved different. DISCOVER WHAT IT REALLY TAKES TO ACHIEVE EFFECTIVE CHANGE Turner and Crawford reveal the essential capabilities of renewal Engagement, Development and Performance Management and show how these provide the fundamental basis for action to achieve corporate renewal in virtually all change situations. Engagement gets the people of the organization informed, involved and committed to its future. Development identifies and builds the operational capabilities and resources for that future. Performance Management proactively manages the processes of change to realize the goals. RESEARCH, INSIGHT AND A POWERFUL NEW FRAMEWORK Change Power is based on rigorous and extensive quantitative research on a very large number (243) of corporate changes. It uses case examples to show the relevance and applicability of its central concepts in a variety of real-world situations faced by managers. Change Power analyzes the key organizational states that affect change effectiveness and shows how those states can be managed to improve results. Change Power provides data and new insights into changes in different situations, for example cultural change, the public sector, reorganization, reorientation and refinement. Change Power clarifies the nature and role of leadership in change. It explains and demonstrates how managers can develop and embed in their organization corporate capabilities that enhance its ability to change and renew itself. Change Power demonstrates a powerful and simple action planning process to manage change effectively and shows how that framework can be adapted and successfully applied to any situation. Change Power offers a substantially different approach than other books on change management. Basing its arguments on years of concrete research and analysis, it describes in detail what actually works for organizations.
