Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This book adopts the multidimensional nature of innovation as its point of focus and offers a comprehensive analysis of contemporary governance issues in Bangladesh. Each chapter views those issues from its own disciplinary perspective, but all share a common focus on the current process in the governance of innovation. The authors show how the processes of innovation and public service delivery are influenced while there is simultaneously a striving for a digital Bangladesh.The book presents innovation as a complex phenomenon with multidisciplinary viewpoints affecting its governance. As well, new practices, developments, and empirical research are shown here. The aim is to point out the most persistent difficulties in public administration and public service delivery, with an emphasis on how to deliver public service in Bangladesh in a sustainable manner.Although significant transformations have been made recently for a better organized public sphere, public services still must be more closely in line with what citizens need rather than what service providers are prepared to deliver.This published work speaks strongly to a wide-ranging audience, from scholars of governance and innovation management to academics, researchers, and postgraduate students interested in public service delivery innovations in Bangladesh and South Asia. Indeed, the book serves as a text and valuable resource for postgraduate courses in politics, business administration, economics, political science, development, and governance in South Asia.…

Hardcover. Condition: VG+. Quarto. Hardcover. Matte illustrated boards. No jacket, as issued. 120 pages : illustrations (chiefly color), portraits ; 26 cm. Mary Sims: A Retrospective celebrates this distinctive late-twentieth century Southern US artist whose works express a very contemporary form of retro cool. A painter and printmaker, Sims (1940-2004) was an exceptional colorist whose meticulously constructed compositions are at once both whimsical and off-beat, displaying an idiosyncratic viewpoint and sly sense of humor. This volume spans her entire career, from her elegant intaglio prints made in the late 1950s, through spare, optically flat portraits of isolated figures on monochrome backgrounds from the 1960s and 1970s, monumental religious paintings that draw on Old Testament stories and mythology to riotous, maximalist still lifes from the 1980s and 1990s.Although based for most of her active career in Arkansas, Sims maintained connections to a variety of art-making centres across the South and Midwest USA. Born in Jackson, Tennessee, she spent her childhood and youth in Memphis where she took classes at the Memphis Academy of Arts (later Memphis College of Art). After finishing a BFA at the University of Iowa, she continued her studies in Rome, then completed an MFA at Tulane University in New Orleans. Returning to Memphis in 1968, she got a job teaching painting and printmaking at Southwestern at Memphis (now Rhodes College). In 1977 Sims and her family moved to Eureka Springs, Arkansas, an artistic and cultural town in the Ozarks where she lived and painted until her death. Featuring 64 works, this publication also includes an illustrated biographical essay by art historian Marina Pacini, and a checklist of the accompanying exhibition.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Marriage is under attack.In a culture that often treats commitment as disposable and relationships as temporary, lasting love can feel almost impossible.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - What if the greatest threats to love were not betrayal, incompatibility, or bad timing. but the cultural clichés we've repeated for generations without ever questioning them 'If it's meant to be, it'll happen.''Follow your heart.''Love should be easy.''You complete me.''The spark is gone.''Happy wife, happy life.'These phrases sound harmless. Romantic, even. But beneath their comforting simplicity lies a dangerous reality: many of the beliefs modern culture teaches about love, dating, relationships, and commitment are quietly sabotaging the very connections people long to build.In Meant To Be: And Other Cultural Clichés That Sabotage Love, Kevin Sims dismantles the myths, half-truths, and emotional slogans that have shaped modern relationship thinking-and replaces them with something stronger: truth, intentionality, accountability, sacrifice, and lasting commitment.Blending real-life stories, biblical insight, psychology, cultural analysis, and practical wisdom, this book exposes why so many people: - chase chemistry but avoid commitment, - mistake feelings for truth, - confuse passivity with faith, - prioritize self-protection over connection, - and continually search for 'better' while failing to build what is real.Inside, you'll discover: - Why 'follow your heart' is dangerous advice- The hidden damage behind 'happy wife, happy life'- Why love was never meant to sustain itself on feelings alone- The difference between chemistry and covenant- Why relationships drift apart-and how to stop it- What actually makes love last in the real world- How modern dating culture has distorted expectations about romance, fulfillment, and commitmentThis is not another shallow relationship book filled with clichés and temporary inspiration.It is a direct, honest, and deeply practical call to reject illusion and build relationships on truth.Whether you are single, dating, engaged, married, healing from heartbreak, or questioning everything you thought you knew about love-this book will challenge you, sharpen you, and help you build something stronger than feelings alone.Because real love is not something you stumble into.It is something you stand up and build.…
