The Business Ethics Workshop
The Business Ethics Workshop by James Brusseau focuses on reality and engagement. Students respond to examples and contemporary cases that touch on their own anxieties, desires and aspirations, and this textbook drives that without sacrificing intellectual gravity. It incites student interest and gets to the core of ethical issues.
Isolated Experiences
By extending Gilles Deleuze's philosophy through diverse literary tracts, this book develops an account of what it means to be different and enters important contemporary debates about identity and the nature of solitude. At the same time, the book elaborates a limited philosophy. From unusual writings and rare human experiences, James Brusseau forges compelling understandings that scrupulously preserve his subjects' irregularities. The resulting philosophic narrative remains strictly localized; it elucidates narrow bands of experience and refuses broadening generalizations. The book's first section rigorously elaborates Deleuze's pioneering notion of difference. The second part conceives ce...
Decadence of the French Nietzsche
In Decadence of the French Nietzsche author James Brusseau describes how and why French Nietzscheanism is contorting into decadence where philosophy is dedicated to the intensification of thought and the degradation of stolid truth.
The Philosophical Foundations of Management Thought
The book's premise is that the theories taught in management schools are based on unacknowledged philosophical perspectives that are significant not so much for what they explain, but for what they assume. Rarely made explicit, these perspectives cannot be reconciled, with the result that the study of management has been dominated by contradictions and internecine intellectual warfare. However, the ability critically to analyze these diverse perspectives is essential to practicing and aspiring managers if they are to evaluate expert opinion. Moreover, since management is primarily an exercise in communication, managing is impossible in the darkness of an imprecise language, in the absence of moral references, or in the senseless outline of a world without intellectual foundations. Managing is a prime example of applied philosophy.

Don't Tell
"A story of heartbreak, hope and healing... Grab a kleenex." —Bonnie Gallant, Agora Network Ministries, co-author of The Beautiful Strokes of God "...Nothing short of an amazing account of God's love and faithfulness." —Toni Schirico Horras, Area Co-ordinator at Safe Families for Children Greater Chicago Area What happens when a cardinal rule is broken? What if you're the one who breaks it? Can there be redemption? Is there hope? The sins of our fathers are long reaching. Joanie Brusseau knows what happens when cardinal rules are broken. As a kid she survived it—barely. It cost her everything. “Never hurt a child.” It’s a fundamental principle and now she’s broken it. Can she survive this too? What happens next is unexpected, perhaps miraculous. A chance encounter sets her on a journey of risk and adventure. Joanie’s story gives hope to all of us—people in bad shape, in deep trouble—to accomplish great things in the world.
Kinetics of Water-Rock Interaction
Geochemical kinetics as a topic is now of importance to a wide range of geochemists in academia, industry, and government, and all geochemists need a rudimentary knowledge of the field. This book summarizes the fundamentals of geochemical kinetics with examples drawn especially from mineral dissolution and precipitation. It also encompasses discussion of high temperature processes and global geochemical cycle modeling. Analysis of textures of rocks, sediments, and mineral surfaces are incorporated throughout and provide a sub-theme of the book.
Dignity, Pleasures, Vulgarity
While writing a chapter on contemporary animal rights for an ethics book, philosophy professor James Brusseau began asking how the animal studies could reflect back to reveal human truths. Dignity, Pleasures, Vulgarity pursues that question as it ranges from an accessible look at today's philosophy of animal ethics, to an investigation of what we can learn about ourselves in the midst of thinking about animals. Set against the backdrop of the wine, sex, love, and blood soaked running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain, this short and compelling narrative nonfiction explores how animals - human and nonhuman - exist together.
