"Don't be fooled by the title of this book. If you are expecting another dry heap of irrelevant missiological research you are going to be sadly disappointed. With flair and wit Cody C. Lorance slices through the chaff of ethnographic examination to produce Ethnographic Chicago, a lively and energetic missiological rumination that has major ramifications for the Southern Baptist churches, as well as further afield.

All The Ways to Say I Love You
Author: Neil LaBute
Publisher: Abrams
ISBN: 1468316524
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 85
Book Description
In All The Ways To Say I Love You, Neil LaBute’s “haunting, heartrending†? (AP) new play, Mrs. Johnson is a high school English teacher in a loving marriage. As she recounts her experiences with a favored student from her past, Mrs. Johnson slowly reveals the truth that is hidden just beneath the surface details of her life, in this riveting solo play about love, hard choices, and the cost of fulfilling an all-consuming desire. Two-time Tony winner Judith Light originated the role of Mrs. Johnson in a “full-throttle performance†? (Time Out NY) for the twice-extended Off Broadway premiere, at MCC in fall 2016.Also included is All My White Sins Forgiven, the evocative one-act companion play that gives depth and context to All The Ways To Say I Love You. In this engrossing two-hander, Mrs. Johnson’s husband, Eric, and his friend Todd banter, shoot hoops, and work their way around to talking some truth about their lives, their marriages, their children, and their own secrets and dreams. Rounding out the volume and an inspiration for the two plays is the short story “With Hair of Hand-Spun Gold,†? a masterfully crafted piece of prose that is pure Neil LaBute—as dark and timeless as any Grimm’s fairytale yet as chillingly modern as a teenage girl chatting with an anonymous new “friend†? on the Internet.

Book Description
I have been a voracious reader since I was a child. Amongst all the activities that I pursued, this is the one that I excelled in. I believed writing was something that I wanted to do; if not as a profession than as one of my passions. Being an all-rounder, be it academically, in terms of sports, or in terms of creativity, I feel really obliged to have had the opportunity of getting my own book published. This is just the beginning though. I have always been very vocal about my thoughts and opinions and have maintained a bold attitude towards developing my thoughts. This has helped me shape a very strong personality. I have always been practical throughout, but I am also aware of the fact that it is important to strike a balance between being emotional and being practical to ensure smooth working of and harmony between various relationships that we're a part of. Quality over quantity has always been my motto and that has helped me in securing a group of trustworthy people I can rely on. I believe in giving it all for the ones I love but I love very rarely! Trust and understanding deprived of egoistic thoughts are the important facets of all kinds of relationships, whether familial or platonic. The following is not a romantic story but a realistic depiction of various relationships and how one can strike a balance between them!

The Work of Communication
Author: Timothy Kuhn
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 135133350X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
The Work of Communication: Relational Perspectives on Working and Organizing in Contemporary Capitalism revolves around a two-part question: "What have work and organization become under contemporary capitalism—and how should organization studies approach them?" Changes in the texture of capitalism, heralded by social and organizational theorists alike, increasingly focus attention on communication as both vital to the conduct of work and as imperative to organizational performance. Yet most accounts of communication in organization studies fail to understand an alternate sense of the "work of communication" in the constitution of organizations, work practices, and economies. This book responds to that lack by portraying communicative practices—as opposed to individuals, interests, technologies, structures, organizations, or institutions—as the focal units of analysis in studies of the social and organizational problems occasioned by contemporary capitalism. Rather than suggesting that there exists a canonically "correct" route communicative analyses must follow, The Work of Communication: Relational Perspectives on Working and Organizing in Contemporary Capitalism explores the value of transcending longstanding divides between symbolic and material factors in studies of working and organizing. The recognition of dramatic shifts in technological, economic, and political forces, along with deep interconnections among the myriad of factors shaping working and organizing, sows doubts about whether organization studies is up to the vital task of addressing the social problems capitalism now creates. Kuhn, Ashcraft, and Cooren argue that novel insights into those social problems are possible if we tell different stories about working and organizing. To aid authors of those stories, they develop a set of conceptual resources that they capture under the mantle of communicative relationality. These resources allow analysts to profit from burgeoning interest in notions such as sociomateriality, posthumanism, performativity, and affect. It goes on to illustrate the benefits that investigations of work and organization can realize from communicative relationality by presenting case studies that analyze (a) the becoming of an idea, from its inception to solidification, (b) the emergence of what is taken to be the "the product" in high-tech startup entrepreneurship, and (c) the branding of work (in this case, academic writing and commercial aviation) through affective economies. Taken together, the book portrays "the work of communication" as simultaneously about how work in the "new economy" revolves around communicative practice and about how communication serves as a mode of explanation with the potential to cultivate novel stories about working and organizing. Aimed at academics, researchers, and policy makers, this book’s goal is to make tangible the contributions of communication for thinking about contemporary social and organizational problems.

When the two hire an old Scottish Whisky Taster to help them with a new campaign, the enigmatic and mysterious figure slows the Londoners to a stop with his strange wisdom, just as the deadline looms.
