The Arts of Leading
"This multi-author volume turns to the humanities to explore what we can learn about leadership when we shift our lens away from business, politics, and the social sciences to explore the rich, diverse, and nuanced perspectives of the liberal arts. Drawing insights from leading scholars in classics, philosophy, religion, literature, history, and the visual and performing arts, this book considers how diverse exemplars and a wide range of disciplinary ways of knowing can illuminate complex aspects of leadership that are often obscured in a leadership discourse typically centered on business and politics. It asks fundamental questions about human social life: What does it mean to lead? Whom do...

A deeply insightful approach to cultivating leaders of character centered on the arts and humanities What does it mean to lead? Whom do we consider to be leaders? And how might viewing leadership through the many lenses of the humanities expand our understanding of how it is imagined, represented, and enacted? Drawing on insights from eminent scholars in the classics, philosophy, religion, literature, history, art, music, and the theater, The Arts of Leading reveals the power of the arts and humanities to unsettle common assumptions about leadership and offer new contexts. Rather than instrumentalizing the arts and humanities or reducing them to mere management resources, this series of thou...
The Medicine of Art
In 1901, the sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens proclaimed in a letter to Will Low, “Health-is the thing!” Though recently diagnosed with intestinal cancer, Saint-Gaudens was revitalized by recreational sports, having realized midcareer “there is something else in life besides the four walls of an ill-ventilated studio.” The Medicine of Art puts such moments center stage in order to consider the role of health and illness in the way art was produced and consumed. Not merely beautiful or entertaining objects, works by Gilded-Age artists such as John Singer Sargent, Abbott Thayer, and Augustus Saint-Gaudens are shown to function as balm for the ill, providing relief from physical sufferin...

Plasmids
Explore the remarkable discoveries in the rapidly expanding field of plasmid biology Plasmids are integral to biological research as models for innumerable mechanisms of living cells, as tools for creating the most diverse therapies, and as crucial helpers for understanding the dissemination of microbial populations. Their role in virulence and antibiotic resistance, together with the generalization of "omics" disciplines, has recently ignited a new wave of interest in plasmids. This comprehensive book contains a series of expertly written chapters focused on plasmid biology, mechanistic details of plasmid function, and the increased utilization of plasmids in biotechnology and pharmacology that has occurred in the past decade. Plasmids: Biology and Impact in Biotechnology and Discovery serves as an invaluable reference for researchers in the wide range of fields and disciplines that utilize plasmids and can also be used as a textbook for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in biotechnology and molecular biology.
