Paperback. Condition: Fair. EXPLORING AND EXPLODING OUR NOTIONS OF WORK Joanne B. Ciulla, a noted scholar in Leadership and Ethics, examines why so many people today have let their jobs take over their lives. Technology was supposed to free us from work, but instead we work longer hours-often tethered to the office at home by cell phones and e-mail. People still look to work for self-fulfillment, community, and identity, but these things may be increasingly difficult to find in today's workplace. Gone is the social contract where employees and employers shared a sense of mutual loyalty, yet many of us still sacrifice personal time for jobs that we could lose at the drop of a stock price. Tracing the evolution of the meaning of work from Aesop to Dilbert, and critically examining the past 100 years of management practices, Ciulla asks questions that we often willfully ignore at our own peril. *When you are on your deathbed, will you wish you had spent more time at the office? *Why do we define ourselves by our jobs rather than by other activities we do outside of work? *What can employers and employees promise each other in today's business environment? Provocative and entertaining, The Working Life challenges us to think about the meaning of work and its impact on our lives.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Considered to be the best popular biography of Saint John Baptist de La Salle in English, this work incorporates modern research to complement the narratives of the original biographers to provide an illuminating background on the life and charism of the Founder of the Christian Schools and the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. This biography sheds new light on the origins of enduring elements of the Lasallian charism--reliance upon Divine Providence and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, spirituality grounded in educational ministry, providing a human and Christian education for young people, especially the poor, application of innovative concepts in schools and other educational projects, and ministry of the laity in the Church. The title comes from a prayer often said by the saint, Domine, opus, tuum--"O Lord, the work is yours."Brother Luke Salm, FSC, (1921-2009) the first Brother to receive a doctoral degree in theology, was a renowned author and prominent lecturer. He authored a number of books and countless articles in his field of theology on the history of Saint John Baptist de La Salle and the Brothers, the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, spirituality, and more. Brother Luke spent many years serving at Manhattan College, including as chairman of the theology/religious studies department from 1962-1970 and as director of the graduate theology program from 1970-1978. He served as a main presenter at Buttimer Institute of Lasallian Studies from 1986 to 2001. In the early 1990s, Brother Luke retired from teaching and spent his final years as archivist for the former New York District before his death on August 31, 2009.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. For readers of Mary Roach and Jared Diamond, an innovative look at the histories of different epidemics and what it meant for society, alongside what lessons different diseases have to teach us as society battles the novel coronavirus.Throughout history, there have been numerous epidemics that have threatened mankind with destruction. Diseases have the ability to highlight our shared concerns across the ages, affecting every social divide from national boundaries, economic categories, racial divisions, and beyond. Whether looking at smallpox, HIV, Ebola, or COVID-19 outbreaks, we see the same conversations arising as society struggles with the all-encompassing question: What do we do now? In ?poignant yet relevant detail? (Niki Kapsambelis, author of The Inheritance), Quarantine Life from Cholera to COVID-19 demonstrates that these conversations have always involved the same questions of individual liberties versus the common good, debates about rushing new and untested treatments, considerations of whether quarantines are effective to begin with, what to do about healthy carriers, and how to keep trade circulating when society shuts down. This vibrant social and medical history tracks different diseases and outlines their trajectory, what they meant for society, and societal questions each disease brought up, along with practical takeaways we can apply to current and future pandemics?so we can all be better prepared for whatever life throws our way.…
