Book DescriptionBusiness EthicsFaith That Works shows how faith forms the foundation for the theory and practice of business ethics and how ethical leadership leads to long term success in business It challenges readers to understand their own beliefs and actively base the ethics they practice in business on those beliefs The book begins by озпхч defining terms and describing Ruddell's model for business ethics Using the logic of C S Lewis (from Mere Christianity) that all people agree on common standards; the book then argues that we must find that common standard for business ethics Ruddell uses the example of the American Republic and the capitalistic economic system (Adam Smith) to illustrate how we can have one standard for an organization while allowing a diversity of ideas among the individuals in that organization Once we realize that belief plays a critical role in forming our business ethics, then what belief system works most effectively? Ruddell presents a thorough analysis of what the Scriptures teach about business ethics as a model for how faith can (and indeed must) integrate with business ethics He concludes by giving several examples of how this approach will work in dealing with ethical issues faced in business and in setting up and carrying out an effective ethics program inside and outside the business.  2004 г ISBN 1931823162.

In two previous books, Janet Malcolm explored the hidden sides of, respectively, institutional psychoanalysis and Freudian biography In this book, she examines the psychopathology of journalism Using a strange and unprecedented lawsuit as her larger-than-life example -- the lawsuit of Jeffrey MacDonald, a convicted murderer, against Joe озпцл McGinniss, the author of Fatal Vision, a book about the crime -- she delves into the always uneasy, sometimes tragic relationship that exists between journalist and subject In Malcolm's view, neither journalist nor subject can avoid the moral impasse that is built into the journalistic situation When the text first appeared, as a two-part article in The New Yorker, its thesis seemed so radical and its irony so pitiless that journalists across the country reacted as if stung Her book is a work of journalism as well as an essay on journalism: it at once exemplifies and dissects its subject In her interviews with the leading and subsidiary characters in the MacDonald-McGinniss case -- the principals, their lawyers, the members of the jury, and the various persons who testified as expert witnesses at the trial -- Malcolm is always aware of herself as a player in a game that, as she points out, she cannot lose The journalist-subject encounter has always troubled journalists, but never before has it been looked at so unflinchingly and so ruefully Hovering over the narrative -- and always on the edge of the reader's consciousness -- is the MacDonald murder case itself,which imparts to the book an atmosphere of anxiety and uncanniness The Journalist and the Murderer derives from and reflects many of the dominant intellectual concerns of our time, and it will have a particular appeal for those who cherish the odd, the off-center, and the unsolved.  ISBN 0679731830.

Book Description“There are three rules for running a business; fortunately, we don’t know any of them ” In 1978, Paul Newman and A E Hotchner decided that rather than just distribute Paul’s own salad dressing at Christmas to neighbors, they would offer it to a few local stores Freewheeling, irreverent entrepreneurs, they conceived of озпцт their venture as a great way to poke fun at the mundane method of traditional marketing Much to their surprise, the dressing was enthusiastically received What had started as a lark quickly escalated into a full-fledged business, the first company to place all-natural foods in supermarkets From salad dressing to spaghetti sauce, to popcorn and lemonade, Newman’s Own became a major player in the food business The company’s profits were originally donated to medical research, education, and the environment, and eventually went to the creation of the eight Hole in the Wall Gang camps for children with serious illnesses In these pages Newman and Hotchner recount the picaresque saga of their own nonmanagement adventure In alternating voices, playing off one another in classic “Odd Couple” style, they describe how they systematically disregarded the advice of experts and relied instead on instinct, imagination, and mostly luck They write about how they hurdled obstacle after obstacle, share their hilarious misadventures, and reveal their offbeat solutions to conventional problems Even theirapproach to charity is decidedly different: every year they give away all the company’s profits, empty the coffers, and start over again The results of this amazing generosity are brought to life in heartwarming stories about the children at theircamps With rare glimpses into their zany style and their compassion for those less fortunate, Newman and Hotchner have written the perfect nonmanagement book, at once playful, informative, and inspirational.  2004 г ISBN 0786262303.

Since the late 1970s, crop circles have been appearing in grain fields all across the globe, but especially in Southern England These large graphic designs are created through the contrast between the light-catching, flattened grain, swirled to the ground, and the darker grain left standing in the fields The beauty of the art can be seen in its entirety озпшц from the air, and such space-filling, dynamic patterns are evidence that creative, intelligent CircleMakers are intentionally marking the Earth But why they do it and who they are remain mysteries In Crop Circles, Mary Nelson speculates on possible answers to these questions Nelson takes the view that crop circles are a new art form The record of civilization can be read through a study of art history Today, CircleMakers are using land as a canvas She asks, what do crop circles reveal about our own period? Are these huge artworks alerting us to increase our awareness, to follow an elevated path, more spiritual and less material, more in harmony and less adversarial, more of a circle than a box, so that humanity can at last fulfill its evolutionary destiny instead of destroying itself?

Book Description Many observers interpret the recent wave of corporate scandals as support for the cynical view that self-interest trumps concerns for the greater good Indeed, this interpretation finds comfort in the intellectual traditions of fields from mainstream economics to evolutionary biology But is it valid? In What Price the Moral озпъь High Ground?, economist and social critic Robert Frank challenges the notion that doing well is accomplished only at the expense of doing good Frank explores exciting new work in economics, psychology, and biology to argue that honest individuals often succeed, even in highly competitive environments, because their commitment to principle makes them more attractive as trading partners Drawing on research he has conducted and published over the past decade, Frank challenges the familiar homo economicus stereotype by describing how people create bonds that sustain cooperation in one-shot prisoner's dilemmas He goes on to describe how people often choose modestly paid positions in the public and nonprofit sectors over comparable, higher-paying jobs in the for-profit sector; how studying economics appears to inhibit cooperation; how social norms often deter opportunistic behavior; how a given charitable organization manages to appeal to donors with seemingly incompatible motives; how concerns about status and fairness affect salaries in organizations; and how socially responsible firms often prosper despite the higher costs associated with their business practices Frank's arguments have important implications for the conduct of leaders in private as well as public life For, as he concludes, the better we understand personal motivation in competitive environments, the better we can structure organizations and public policies to promote our true ends.  2005 г ISBN 0691124019.
