F-Notes
There are many occasions when a project leader will preside over a team meeting that ends up falling short of the desired outcomes. Entering a room full of people who are expecting you to guide them to results can be a source of tremendous pressure, even when you feel fully prepared as a leader.

Notes: Facilitation for Quality offers several updates to traditional quality tools to better suit non-manufacturing environments. If you work in an service, office, non-profit, or professional setting, you will find these t...
Emerging Frontiers
Founded in Indian Territory in 1858, the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth met, a century later, challenges of a new frontier in the church's call to adapt to modern circumstances and in their own awareness of deepening social and ecclesial needs. For three decades, sisters struggled with conditions that threatened unity: issues of governance, demands of professional training, diverse backgrounds, differing experience of communal life, developing theology of religious vows. Diminishing numbers coupled with need for leadership led to new institutional roles and new forms of ministry. Emerging Frontiers records the struggle and its outcome. A common past and determination to stay together mark...
The Visions of Therese Neumann
This book reveals Therese's visions and stigmata along with some biographical data and explanations. This work is a studied apology for the mystical phenomena which occurred in the life of Therese. The author shows that mystical experiences, while outside the realm of usual rational expectations, are well within the realm of God's way. He views Therese's experience as a divine mission, given to her by God as a first line of defense against modern, exaggerated rationalism, which does away with religion and forces us to sheer materialism. The author, Johannes Steiner, was introduced to Therese Neumann in 1929 and has maintained unbroken and close contact with Konnersreuth ever since. After the war it was possible for him to even intensify his connections since his professional needs, as one of Europe's foremost publishers, brought him into the neighborhood of Konnersreuth several times a year and frequently for rather extensive visits. Thus he had an opportunity to speak with Therese Neumann herself and to acquire first-hand information to correct or round out the work of her first biographer, Dr. Fritz Gerlich. He is probably the best living expert on the subject of Therese Neumann.
Mind in Society
Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory of cognitive development in his own words—collected and translated by an outstanding group of scholars. “A landmark book.” —Contemporary Psychology The great Russian psychologist L. S. Vygotsky has long been recognized as a pioneer in developmental psychology. But his theory of development has never been well understood in the West. Mind in Society corrects much of this misunderstanding. Carefully edited by a group of outstanding Vygotsky scholars, the book presents a unique selection of Vygotsky’s important essays, most of which have previously been unavailable in English. The mind, Vygotsky argues, cannot be understood in isolation from the surro...

Isis Mary Sophia
The rebirth of the feminine surrounds us in many forms--from the global movement for women's rights to a renewed interest in feminine spirituality, the Goddess, and the Divine Mother. What is the spiritual meaning of this rebirth? What is the feminine divine? Who is she? The feminine divine has had many names in many cultures: Ishtar in Babylon, Inanna in Sumeria, Athena, Hera, Demeter, and Persephone in Greece, Isis in Egypt, Durga, Kali, and Lakshmi in India. She is the Shekinah of the Cabalists, and the Sophia of the Gnostics. To Steiner, she is Anthroposophia (or Divine Wisdom), who descended from the spiritual world and passed through humanity to become now the goal and archetype of hum...
Children's Solution Work
Therapists often despair when considering using Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), so successful with adults, with children. Insoo Kim Berg and Therese Steiner show this despair to be unwarranted. These two master therapists lead readers through a series of conceptual and practical steps that elucidate just how the nonverbal, playful, and creative habits of children can support successful therapy based on the SFBT model. Children's Solution Work is necessary reading for anyone who associates with children and takes a concern for their development'linicians, social workers, teachers, daycare workers, and parents. By focusing on and expanding the bases for engagement and communication betw...
German Immigrants
"This is the third volume of the German Immigrants series (see also Items 6580, 6581, and 6583), this one listing passengers from Bremen to New York between 1863 and September 1867. Owing to the total destruction of the original Bremen passenger lists, this volume, like the others, is the only practical means of discovering information on thousands of individuals for whom immigrant origin data was thought to be irretrievably lost. In effect, it is a partial reconstruction of the Bremen records, based on official passenger lists and manifests in the custody of the National Archives. It is, therefore, a record of arrivals rather than departures, and it is the closest we are ever likely to come to duplicating information in the lost Bremen records"--Publisher website (December 2007).
