The Brief Career of Eliza Poe
When the actress Eliza Poe--mother of Edgar Allen Poe--died at age 24 in Richmond, Virginia, she had played with every important theatrical company in the country. Compared to actors today, her career is truly extraordinary. She played nearly 300 parts--in plays by Shakespeare and Sheridan--a long line of heroines in 18th century sentimental comedies, comic operas, farces, and poetic tragedies whose titles are meaningless now, though they contain brilliant language and canny theatricality, requiring actors of discipline and skill to present successfully. Eliza left no personal documents, but available public documents relating to her professional life tell the vivid story of a gifted young actress serving her apprenticeship in the superior repertory system of late 18th and early 19th century America. Eliza was a young artist who had established a national reputation with her co-workers and the public, just embarking on what would have been her most important work at the time of her tragically early death.
Evolution of a Movement
This is of course a story of how a religious order gave new expression to its distinctive values and tradition in establishing a wider community of lay associates. The Sisters of St Joseph from the outset were practical, adaptable and relatively informal - focused on meeting needs where they saw them and stretching themselves thin to do so. Mary Cresp captures these Josephite values beautifully as she unfolds the development of the order's Associates/Companions. But it's not a book just about the Josephites. It's much more - a case study in how Catholic communities in several countries have responded to the challenges of the Second Vatican Council and to changing times. For that it's well wo...

Mérito, Desempenho e Resultados - ensaios sobre gestão de pessoas para o setor público
O livro reúne uma feliz combinação de ensaios sobre a tão importante quanto difícil missão de gerir pessoas em organizações do setor público. Tendo a questão do mérito, do desempenho e dos resultados como foco principal, a gestão de pessoas é vista como uma política pública em si mesma. Questões éticas, culturais e históricas, valores e princípios, comportamento, estrutura e novas formas de contratualização das relações de trabalho no setor público são tratadas em ensaios baseados ora na prática e experiência de consultores e acadêmicos, ora em pesquisas e mapeamentos que permitem reconhecer a realidade da gestão de pessoas no setor público paulista e compará-la com a realidade em outros níveis de governo e do exterior. Leitura útil não somente para gestores públicos e profissionais de recursos humanos, mas também para estudantes, acadêmicos e para todos os que trabalham para o aprimoramento da gestão pública.

Exile and Return Among the East Timorese
East Timor, the world's newest nation, finally gained its independence in 2002, following half a millennium of Portuguese rule and 24 years of Indonesian occupation. That occupation produced a refugee diaspora spread between Portugal and Australia that has been integral in advancing East Timor's cause abroad. Because East Timorese in the diaspora identified strongly as exiles and invested so much in pursuing East Timor's independence, the homeland's liberation has complicated the very basis on which many have "imagined" themselves since fleeing to Australia. Wise interrogates the space after exile for members of the East Timorese diaspora in Australia, in dialogue with key debates on diaspor...
