The Taconic Tragedy
The unsettling story of a weekend camping trip gone awry and the drunk and high "wrong way mom" who drove four children to their deaths, also killing her and three others. A chronological look at the four hour drive that terrorized motorists, destroyed three families, and captivated the public. Two years of constant contradictions and fabrications have eluded the truth and added to the public confusion of the conflicting stories. Information on the July 26, 2009 tragedy is taken from actual police reports, witness statements, and investigator reports.
My Heart and my Flesh
As a child, Luce was running to the store to get a small can of oil, for it was growing dark and she had the lamp to fill. Across the street the lamp-lighter was lifting a burning swab of waste to the street-lamp, a gasoline lamp on the top of a high post. The lamp-lighter stood on a ladder to lift the brand, and when the lamp was lit he would take the ladder on his shoulder and walk away at an even step, the same yesterday and the same tomorrow. When he had new shoes the step was marked with crying leather. She ran past the lamp-lighter hardly giving a moment to look at him, for she knew all his ways and all his motions, all the rhythms of his feet. The street-lamp made a thin, feeble light...
I'll See You Again
In this “wonderful and courageous” (Jeannette Walls) memoir, Jackie Hance shares her story of unbearable loss, darkest despair, and—slowly, painfully, and miraculously—her cautious return to hope and love. Until the horrific car accident on New York’s Taconic State Parkway that took the lives of her three beloved young daughters, Jackie Hance was an ordinary Long Island mom, fulfilled by the joyful chaos of a household bustling with life and chatter and love. After the tragedy, she was “The Taconic Mom,” whose unimaginable loss embodied every parent’s worst nightmare. Suddenly, her lifelong Catholic faith no longer explained the world. Her marriage to her husband, Warren, was...
The Handbook of Negotiation and Culture
In the global marketplace, negotiation frequently takes place across cultural boundaries, yet negotiation theory has traditionally been grounded in Western culture. This book, which provides an in-depth review of the field of negotiation theory, expands current thinking to include cross-cultural perspectives. The contents of the book reflect the diversity of negotiationresearch-negotiator cognition, motivation, emotion, communication, power and disputing, intergroup relationships, third parties, justice, technology, and social dilemmasand provides new insight into negotiation theory, questioning assumptions, expanding constructs, and identifying limits not apparent from working exclusively within one culture. The book is organized in three sections and pairs chapters on negotiation theory with chapters on culture. The first part emphasizes psychological processescognition, motivation, and emotion. Part II examines the negotiation process. The third part emphasizes the social context of negotiation. A final chapter synthesizes the main themes of the book to illustrate how scholars and practitioners can capitalize on the synergy between culture and negotiation research.
Babilonia
In un posto chiamato Deuil-l'Alouette (che, tradotto alla lettera, sarebbe «Lutto-l'Allodola»), un posto qualunque nella periferia di Parigi, una donna qualunque, con un buon lavoro, un marito, un figlio, una sorella e dei vicini di casa, si lascia coinvolgere, nel corso di una strana notte di quasi primavera, in una faccenda che potrebbe costarle assai cara. Per affettuosa solidarietà con un uomo di cui non sa molto, tranne che è solo, profondamente solo. O forse perché, di colpo, ha voglia, foss'anche per un'ora, di respirare fuori dalla soffocante banalità del quotidiano, di farsi un giro «on the wild side» – di immergersi in una «dimensione di tenebra». Tirando con la consuet...
