Our work life is filled with emotions. How we feel on the job, what we say we feel, and what feelings we display—all these are important aspects of organizational behavior and workplace culture. Rather than focusing on the psychology of personal emotions at work, however, this study concentrates on emotions as role requirements, on workplace emotions that combine the private with the public, the personal with the social, and the authentic with the masked. In this cross-cultural study of "emotion management," the author argues that even though the goals of normative control in factories, offices, and shops may be similar across cultures, organizational structure and the surrounding culture affect how that control is discussed and conceived.

Contrary to popular belief Polio is not extinct. This is the true story of an indomitable spirit afflicted with unimaginable physical and psychological challenges. Paul Alexander’s life is a saga that started in 1946 and has been profoundly shaped by the Polio epidemic of the early 1950’s. Survivors of the 1950’s Polio Epidemic in America are rare. Polio victims, like Paul Alexander, who require the assistance of an “Iron Lung” respirator for their life’s breath are even rarer. Paul Alexander has crafted his life against all odds and has a courageous and compelling story to share with us all. Victims of Polio, their families, friends and communities are struggling to cope with this obscure but still dangerous infectious disease. This book is a testimony to the strength of the human spirit and an affirmation of the need to continue efforts to eradicate the pestilence of Polio from the planet.
This study illuminates the social, political, economic, and religious lives of those to whom the apostle Paul wrote. It articulates a method for bringing together biblical texts with archaeological remains.
Unable to unlock the emotion from early traumas in life, I found the key was poetry. Hanging on to the words and the rhyme till my day was finished, I would run to the computer trying to save every thought. Like an uncorked bottle of champagne the emotion flowed through the poetry lines. From love and passion, to the sad and loneliness one finds in everyday life. The poetry was hot but the healing had started. Poetry is what comes when the stress of life becomes too much to handle. The mood of each moment. Feeling the pain and the passion sometimes in inanimate objects. Poetry expresses emotion in a way other people can understand. A reflection of life for the reader and the author. A point of connection on every page. Every person has a key to unlocking their emotion, and for me it is poetry. Most of us have a need to let our emotion out. This book can be the start of that outflow. It is soft and introspective. A look at culture in a new and different light.
