About this product: Christiana Morgan was an erotic muse who influenced twentieth-century psychology and inspired its male creators, including C. G. Jung, who saw in her the quintessential "anima woman." Here Claire Douglas offers the first biography of this remarkable woman, exploring how Morgan yearned to express her genius yet sublimated it to spark not only Jung but also her own lover Henry A. Murray, a psychologist who with her help invented the thematic apperception test (TAT). Douglas recounts Morgan's own contributions to the study of emotions and feelings at the Harvard Psychological Clinic and vividly describes the analyst's turbulent life: her girlhood in a prominent Boston family; her difficult marriage; her intellectual awakening in postwar New York; her impassioned analysis with Jung, including her "visions" of a woman's heroic quest, many of which furthered his work on archetypes; her love affairs and experiences with sexual experimentation; her alcoholism; and, finally, her tragic death.
About this product: Project managers are no longer judged by the technical success of their projects alone. They're also held accountable for their contributions to the company's financial goals. Yet most project managers don't have the business knowledge necessary to make project-based decisions that lead to bottom-line success. In this book, Dennis Cohen and Robert Graham, both former university professors and experienced project management consultants, provide the skills that, until now, could only be gained through a graduate degree and years of hands-on experience. Cohen and Graham walk project managers through basic business concepts such as value creation, accounting and finance, strategy, and marketing. They connect these concepts to the decisions project managers face every day. And they make it easy to apply the resulting solutions on the job through a unique business systems calculator. Readers can use the online calculator in conjunction with the book to understand how different project variables affect business outcomes, to determine the overall impact of proposed project changes, and to evaluate the economic results of many decisions they make. Cohen and Graham's principles apply equally to projects in business, non-profit, and government organizations. And each one is illustrated through case studies drawn from a range of industries, including pharmaceuticals, the technology sector, even the winemaking business. Whether the mandate is to get new products to market, improve the infrastructure, or better serve customers and clients, this book teaches project managers how to make day-to-day decisions from an upper-management perspective. And it provides a blueprint for planning and pitching potential projects that demonstrates a higher level of business savvy.

Since the end of the 1970s, he has also conducted performances and created drawings while under hypnosis as a means to explore the nature of behavior. Mullican s practice confronts the nature of subjective understanding, rationality, perception, and cognition; in essence, proposing a picture of the world through the medium of drawing. The book, number 82 in the Drawing Papers series, features a conversation between the artist and exhibition curator Joao Ribas, as well as writings by the artist, transcribed from his early notebooks.

About this product: Offers postrationalist perspectives on translation, based not on the rational control of words and meanings but on the translator's own subjective experience and interpretation.
About this product: This work is a comparative descriptive analysis of seventy English language headlines and their Arabic translations gathered from the Arab national and international press and news agencies over the period of January 1, 2002 through August 1, 2002. While headline translation has received some attention from scholars, only a small amount of the literature deals specifically with the translation of English language headlines into Arabic. The ideological, political, national, and cultural basis of the source and target societies significantly affects the mode of translation and the message conveyed. These discourse factors, which almost always divide along an East-West line, are generally most evident in the first expression of a news headline which often functions as or designates the headline actor or agent. Other headline aspects such as headline function, content, and length are also controlled by the news discourse factors deemed most important to the dominant group. Lexical selection, style, and rhetoric in news headline writing and translation is not incidental or arbitrary but deliberate which makes these aspects of news headline discourse a portal through which hidden opinions or ideologies may surface. Translators do not follow identifiable strategies in their translations. Instead, general Skopos Theory allows the translator to make the source text headline more effective by the appropriate lexical style and rhetorical devices applied in the translated headline. The relevance of discourse analysis extends beyond the examination of individual words or isolated sentences. The macro and micro comparative analysis of isolated words and sentences is incomplete without consideration of discourse influenced transformational strategies that shape and guide the translation of news headlines.
