"How can we build a kinder world for our families, businesses, society and ourselves?

By using 'gentle actions' businesses can respond more effectively to a changing marketplace, and organizations, policy groups and communities grow more flexible, responsive and sensitive to the world around them." "An invaluable resource for everyone from CEOs, policy makers, community leaders, opinion makers, aid organizations, business groups, consultants and politicians - indeed anyone who is trying to make a difference. Each chapter of Gentle Action concludes with a series of questions and challenges that encourage the reader to enter a period of 'creative suspension' from which truly compassionate action can emerge."--BOOK JACKET.

The Age of Global Dialogue
Author: Leonard J. Swidler
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1498208673
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 429
Book Description
Thinking beyond the absolutes Christians and other religious persons increasingly find "deabsolutized" in our modern thought world, Swidler reflects on the ways we humans think about the world and its meaning now that increasingly we notice that there are other ways of understanding the world than the way we grew up in. In this new situation we need to develop a common language we can use together both to appreciate our neighbors and enrich ourselves, what the author calls Ecumenical Esperanto, because it should serve as a common language without replacing any of the living languages of our religious and ideological traditions. Of course, such thinking anew about the world and its meaning must necessarily mean thinking anew about all of our religious beliefs--but this time, in dialogue.

Dialogue and Difference
Author: M. Waller
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1137078839
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
Calling for inclusion and dialogue, these essays by an international group of feminist scholars and activists stress the need to put into relation seemingly discrepant approaches to reality and to scholarship in order to build coalitions across the usual North/South and East/West divides. This diverse group of authors, who spent fourteen weeks working collaboratively, dispense with unity and seek instead to use dialogue and difference in their production of knowledge about effective political action. The dialogues materialized here among women's movements that have emerged within different contexts and cosmologies take feminisms' challenges to contemporary corporate globalization in new empirical and theoretical directions.

User Models in Dialog Systems
Author: Alfred Kobsa
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 364283230X
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 483
Book Description
User models have recently attracted much research interest in the field of artificial intelligence dialog systems. It has become evident that flexible user-oriented dialog behavior of such systems can be achieved only if the system has access to a model of the user containing assumptions about his/her background knowledge as well as his/her goals and plans in consulting the system. Research in the field of user models investigates how such assumptions can be automatically created, represented and exploited by the system in the course of an "on-line" interaction with the user. The communication medium in this interaction need not necessarily be a natural language, such as English or German. Formal interaction languages are also permit ted. The emphasis is placed on systems with natural language input and output, however. A dozen major and several more minor user modeling systems have been de signed and implemented in the last decade, mostly in the context of natural-language dialog systems. The goal of UM86, the first international workshop on user model ing, was to bring together the researchers working on these projects so that results could be discussed and analyzed, and hopefully general insights be found, that could prove useful for future research. The meeting took place in Maria Laach, a small village some 40 miles south of Bonn, West Germany. 25 prominent researchers were invited to participate.
