Dark Side Leadership
Author: Nick Tarant
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1440101922
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
Lewinsky scandals, Major League performance-enhancers, and falling pop-stars aside, Western culture has historically glorified its socio-political leaders and protected the topic of leadership as a virtuous and altruistic element on some traditionalist's pedestal. This book is a cunning and frank departure from that old-school philosophy. Be prepared for a serious exploration of today's unabridged and blurred-line leadership, as defined by the tongue-in-cheek commentary of one of America's rising stars in the topical arena. Laden with analysis of villains from Saddam Hussein to Jeffrey Dahmer, and peppered with analogies featuring bad Brad Pitt films and corporate failures, Dark Side Leadership is a new topic for boardrooms and bars alike that is set in a smart and editorial style. It is recommended reading for anyone anticipating the 'hope and change' of the 21st Century, or debating a raid of petty cash at the same time. Aside from that, it is conventional, yet intellectual fun. www.darksideleadership.com

The Dark Side of Game Play
Author: Torill Elvira Mortensen
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317574451
Category : Games & Activities
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
Games allow players to experiment and play with subject positions, values and moral choice. In game worlds players can take on the role of antagonists; they allow us to play with behaviour that would be offensive, illegal or immoral if it happened outside of the game sphere. While contemporary games have always handled certain problematic topics, such as war, disasters, human decay, post-apocalyptic futures, cruelty and betrayal, lately even the most playful of genres are introducing situations in which players are presented with difficult ethical and moral dilemmas. This volume is an investigation of "dark play" in video games, or game play with controversial themes as well as controversial play behaviour. It covers such questions as: Why do some games stir up political controversies? How do games invite, or even push players towards dark play through their design? Where are the boundaries for what can be presented in a games? Are these boundaries different from other media such as film and books, and if so why? What is the allure of dark play and why do players engage in these practices?

How to Find a Black Cat in a Dark Room
Author: Jacob Burak
Publisher: Watkins Media Limited
ISBN: 1786780976
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
An inquiry into what it is about our experiences and cultures that brings out the differences and reveals the similarities in us as humans beings, in the vein of Malcolm Gladwell and Daniel Kahneman. Jacob Burak is on a quest to answer the question “are we as human beings, who are separated by different cultures and experiences, similar or different?” Through the lens of behavioural studies, we see how, while our approaches differ and often conflict, we all strive for similar things: love, acceptance, power and understanding. How to Find a Black Cat in a Dark Room offers the latest scientific studies of human behaviour alongside accessible anecdotes to examine the universal human experiences of comparing ourselves to others, the need to belong, the urge to achieve and the anxiety and uncertainty of life itself. More importantly, Burak shows us how, in understanding these behavioural patterns, we learn that we are actually more alike than we are different; that our rivals often make us stronger; and that being trusting can help us live longer. With his inquisitive nature, logical thinking and engaging style, Burak examines whether it is destiny or personality that controls our lives, through intriguing subjects such as: • What are the ten rules for happiness that are entirely under our control? • Why do smart people make stupid mistakes? • What distinguishes bureaucrats and entrepreneurs? • What are the psychological differences between liberals and conservatives? • In what circumstances is it right to surrender our privacy? • Does it pay to trust people?

Neurobehavioral Plasticity
Author: Norman E. Spear
Publisher: Psychology Press
ISBN: 1134780850
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 494
Book Description
This book describes a unique combination of research programs based on a striking variety of hypotheses and procedures directed toward understanding the sources and consequences of neurobehavioral plasticity. This remarkable attribute of the nervous system -- to be pliable and capable of being shaped or formed by natural or artificial sources toward adaptation or maladaptation -- is considered in terms of the neurochemical forces and neuroanatomical structure that has been found to be pivotal for this function. The impetus for this volume was a symposium held to honor Robert L. Isaacson for his scientific and pedagogical achievements as well as his contributions to behavioral neuroscience. Corresponding to his three major research interests, the book is divided into three sections as follows: * the first explores the relationship between the limbic system and behavior, with an emphasis on learning and memory; * the second considers -- through a wide range of approaches -- issues of plasticity in behavior and brain; and * the third deals with neural and chemical determinants of normal and abnormal behavior. This volume is not only a fitting tribute to Isaacson, but also an unusual collection of new evidence, procedures, and theories destined to have significant influence on behavioral neuroscience.
