Designed to offer an appealing anthology where there is an increased interest in connections between and among cultures, Across Cultures, strives to promote understanding of diverse cultures among students.

 

The book advocates acceptance of the diversity of voices, while suggesting ways to probe the correspondences, interrelationships, and mutual benefits of that diversity. The selections cover a great variety of cultural facets. For example, the readings in “Work,” the subject of Chapter 5, lead students to consider related subjects such as affirmative action, immigration, cultural displacement, family narratives, and definitions of success. Throughout the text, students are encouraged to draw connections between and among readings through “Correspondence” questions that accompany each selection, thus developing their critical thinking skills.

This volume reviews the new potential treatments and research in the area of Alzheimer's disease. Special attention is given to international developments in all fields relevant to new drug development. Topics discussed include: progress in the international harmonization of drug development guidelines for dementia drugs; bioethics and law; development of rating instruments; behavioural treatments; and the activities of the Reagan Foundation. The text integrates basic and clinical research findings, and provides evaluation of new approaches to therapy by world leaders in the field. The potential benefit for Alzheimer patients and families resulting from these research programmes, from molecular biology to clinical pharmacology, is reviewed and evaluated.

This volume provides an update on recent developments in computer-aided design and modeling of catalysts for a variety of important industrial applications.

Die Autoren zeigen auf Basis aktueller neuropsychologischer Erkenntnisse eine neue ganzheitliche Perspektive auf, wie Individuen und Kollektive wie Teams, Einheiten oder ganze Organisationen weiterentwickelt werden können. Es werden neun Potenzialfelder identifiziert und im Sinne einer ganzheitlichen Persönlichkeits- und Unternehmensentwicklung beleuchtet. Erst wenn es gelingt, alle Potenzialfelder gezielt zu „bespielen“, wird tatsächlich das gesamte Potenzial einer Persönlichkeit und/oder eines Unternehmens ausgeschöpft! Anschauliche Beiträge erfolgreicher Experten aus Wissenschaft und Unternehmenspraxis inspirieren dazu, anhand dieser Potenzialfelder neu über Menschen und Organisationen nachzudenken und Leistungspotenziale zu entdecken.
