This book really lends itself to understanding that innovation emanates from human beings, and cultural influences will determine how innovation is defined. Latinos will make up 31 percent of the US workforce by the year 2050, and a significant part of the country's knowledge workers will come from this demographic.

Understanding how to unlock the innovative capabilities of Latinos is important for companies that want to differentiate themselves through an innovative workforce. This book combines empirically based research from our Project Impact study, and proven practical application using the ENOVALE methodology. Anyone that is a management professional or a business student will learn so much - this book goes beyond diversity, and provides management with definitive answers on how Latinos accept and react to innovation imperatives. It also provides tools and methods to help manage the workforce to achieve innovative results.

He once was lost, and then he was found. Mickey Maguire returns to his childhood summer beach community steeped in sorrow, pain and regret. He''s spent nearly twenty years away from the cozy hamlet of Matunuck, Rhode Island, where all his relatives live within five square-miles of each other. Having uprooted his life as a lost and confused nineteen-year-old new father, he''s turned his back on decades of rich family history and tradition. Transported three thousand miles away to Los Angeles, he reluctantly marries his baby-mama and starts a career in the west coast music industry. Along the way, he falls out of touch with old friends, breaks bonds with aunts, uncles cousins and nephews, frays the connections with his parents and siblings and loses himself in a fast-paced life he doesn''t want to live. While his mother suffers from the effects of a stroke and harrowing battle with cancer and his ailing father withers under the strain of caring for her, Mick returns after his two-decade absence to move his parents to assisted living facilities and sell the beloved family home that had underpinned his entire childhood. As he encounters long-lost best friends from his youth and reconnects with his family, he reconsiders the choices he''s made to transfer his life to California and the decision to sell the house. But, with a massive storm barreling up the coast, the pressure of his divorce straining his dire financial condition, the sale nearly finalized and the health of his parents rapidly declining, Mick faces the formidable foe of time to save the homestead, rebuild his life and solidify the bonds of his disconnected family before it''s too late.

On Bloody Sunday, January 30, 1972, British paratroopers killed thirteen innocent men in Derry. It was one of the most controversial events in the history of the Northern Ireland conflict and also one of the most mediated. The horror was recorded in newspapers and photographs, on TV news and current affairs and in film and TV drama. In a cross media analysis that spans a period of almost forty years up to the publication of the Saville Report in 2010, The British Media and Bloody Sunday identifies two countervailing impulses in media coverage of Bloody Sunday and its legacy: an urge in the press to rescue the image and reputation of the British Army versus a troubled conscience in TV current affairs and drama about what was done in Britain’s name. In so doing, it suggests a much more complex set of representations than a straightforward propaganda analysis might allow for – one that says less about the conflict in Ireland than it does about Britain, with its loss of empire and its crisis of national identity.

President Vladimir Putin is a figure of both fear and fascination in the Western imagination. In the minds of media pundits and commentators, he personifies Russia itself - a country riven with contradictions, enthralling and yet always a threat to world peace.

But recent propaganda images that define public debate around growing tensions with Russia are not new or arbitrary. Russia and the Media asks, what is the role of Western journalism in constructing a new kind of Cold War with Russia? Focusing on British and US media coverage of moments of crisis and of co-operation between the West and Russia, McLaughlin exposes how such a Cold War framework shapes public perceptions of a major, hostile power reasserting itself on the world stage.

Scrutinising events such as the Ukraine/Crimea crisis, the Skripal Poisoning and Russia''s military intervention in Syria - as well as analysing media coverage of the 2018 Russian presidential election and build up to the 2018 World Cup - Russia and the Media makes a landmark intervention at the intersection of media studies and international relations.

When political opponents Ian Paisley and Martin McGuiness were confirmed as First Minister and Deputy First Minister of a new Northern Ireland executive in May 2007, a chapter was closed on Northern Ireland’s troubled past. A dramatic realignment of politics had brought these irreconcilable enemies together – and the media played a significant role in persuading the public to accept this startling change. The Propaganda of Peace places their role in a wider cultural context and examines a broad range of factual and fictional representations, from journalism and public museum exhibitions to film, television drama and situation comedy. The authors propose a radically different theoretical and methodological approach to the media’s role in reporting and representing. They ask whether the ‘propaganda of peace’ actually promotes the abandonment of a politically engaged public sphere at the very moment when public debate about neo-liberalism, financial meltdown and social and economic inequality make it most necessary.
