Human Resource Management
Sound HRM practices matter—they are a sine qua non of effective governance in democratic government—equally so at the local, regional, state and national levels of government. The NASPAA (Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs, and Administration) accreditation standards demand critical competencies for public managers that are vital to human resource managers and supervisors at all levels. These competencies include: skills to lead and manage in public governance; to participate in and contribute to the policy process; to analyze, synthesize, think critically, solve problems and make decisions; to articulate and apply a public service perspective; and to communicate and interact p...
Life of David W. Patten: The First Apostolic Martyr
Great men are the Lord's abject lessons to the world. They hold out to mankind the measure of truth committed to their generation. As example is greater than precept, so a life may state a truth more forcibly than words. When He answered the question as to the first great commandment, the Savior did more than satisfy the idle curiosity of the listening crowd, He indicated one of the underlying purposes of this life and stated the principle by which the degree of civilization will be determined. Measured by the love he bore his Maker and his fellow-men, few greater men have ever lived than David Wyman Patten. With all the intensity of his nature, he served the Lord, and with the same undivide...
Evaluating the Brain Disease Model of Addiction
This ground-breaking book advances the fundamental debate about the nature of addiction. As well as presenting the case for seeing addiction as a brain disease, it brings together all the most cogent and penetrating critiques of the brain disease model of addiction (BDMA) and the main grounds for being skeptical of BDMA claims. The idea that addiction is a brain disease dominates thinking and practice worldwide. However, the editors of this book argue that our understanding of addiction is undergoing a revolutionary change, from being considered a brain disease to a disorder of voluntary behavior. The resolution of this controversy will determine the future of scientific progress in understa...
The Last Muster
'We only have the frozen Mississippi to cross...if we get through this...' Virginia continued to walk beside the wagon as she trudged through the snow, her hand in Allen's, her thoughts lingering on her dead sister, buried outside Gallatin, just yesterday. Then she stopped and looked back. Joseph Smith was not with them this time. He was in the hands of the mob awaiting execution for treason. It had been a long time since those desperate days in Missouri. The temple in Salt Lake City had taken forty years to build. Virginia looked up at the granite structure and thanked God she had been allowed to live to see it finished. Today her grandsom would be sealed there.--Back cover.

Forest Wildlife Ecology and Habitat Management
Across the continental United States, one can identify 20 distinct forest cover types. Most of these are to be found on federal lands managed by the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management. Those responsible for the management of trees that form the 20 different cover types and the diversity of forest wildlife that reside in them must have a solid grounding in concepts of forest management, especially silviculture, as well as concepts of wildlife management, in order to integrate both as part of any effective natural resource management plan. Forest Wildlife Ecology and Habitat Management provides both foresters and wildlife biologists responsible for managing forest resources with...
