Writing for social scientists : how to start and finish your thesis, book, or article / by Becker, Howard S.(Howard Saul),1928-2023,author.(CARDINAL)141766; Container of (work):Richards, Pamela.Risk.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Freshman English for graduate students -- Persona and authority -- One right way -- Editing by ear -- Learning to write as a professional -- Risk / by Pamela Richards -- Getting it out the door -- Terrorized by the literature -- Writing with computers, then and now -- A final word."For more than 30 years, Writing for Social Scientists has offered readers a powerful reassurance: academic writing is difficult, and even accomplished scholars like Howard S. Becker struggle with it. Becker, the consummate sociologist, both analyzes how the professional context of academia contributes to writing problems and offers concrete advice, based on his own experiences and those of his students and colleagues, for overcoming them and gaining confidence as a writer. While the underlying challenges have remained the same over the years, the context in which academic writers work has changed dramatically, thanks to technology and new institutional pressures. This new edition has been updated throughout to reflect these changes, offering a new generation of scholars and students encouragement to write about society or any other scholarly topic clearly and persuasively"--

Peanut butter and jelly management : tales from parenthood lessons for managers / by Komisarjevsky, Chris.(CARDINAL)660428; Komisarjevsky, Reina.(CARDINAL)660427;
Nurture their self-esteem. Help them find and explore opportunities to grow. Present yourself as a positive role model. Hey, wait a minute--AMACOM is a business book publisher! This sounds like something from a parenting guide. Exactly. In fact the whole idea behind PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY MANAGEMENT is that being a good manager requires many of the same skills and qualities associated with being a good parent. In the words of the authors (and they should know--they're the proud parents of six children!), "More often than not, if we carefully listen and watch children at home--think about what they do and how we bring them up--we can greatly improve our chances of being successful in leading adults in the workplace." Does this mean managers should treat employees like unruly rugrats or act overbearingly parental? Not at all. It simply means employees (like kids) benefit from more personal involvement, caring, understanding, and attention. Using stories from their own lives as parents, the authors demonstrate the important management lessons to be gleaned from parenting--and give readers tips for applying the lessons to the workplace. Whimsical, touching, and heart-warming, but also practical, insightful, and direct, PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY MANAGEMENT offers a fresh, unusual approach to leadership. Maybe father (or mother) really does know best.
