Shows that pastoral heritage is more than just ‘woolsheds and homesteads’, the showpieces of white, male settler colonial economies. Pastoral heritage is the product of the mutual histories of Aboriginal and settler Australians. It is a form of heritage that is both in, and a part of, the landscape. His ‘archaeological’ approach to the heritage of the pastoral industry involves both recording sites and excavating attachments to community heritage.

Affective phenomena permeate group life. When individuals work together in groups, feelings of pride, fear, hope, anger, and anxiety constantly emerge and have a profound influence on group member behavior. The experience and expression of moods and emotions shape whether group members form close bonds with one another, how they negotiate roles and status differences, resolve their conflicts, make decisions, and ultimately whether they accomplish their collective goals. After a long history of focusing on cognitive and behavioral processes, group researchers are beginning to take more seriously the role of affective phenomena.
This tenth volume of Research on Managing Groups and Teams brings together some of the top researchers studying the interplay of groups and affect. The works presented examine how groups influence individual members emotional experiences; in turn, how a groups success depends on the emotions and emotional capabilities of its members; how moods and emotions mediate the effects of demographic diversity in groups, the emergence of intra-group conflict, and the attachment individuals feel to their groups; and how emotions foster divisions between groups, organizations, or even societies. This book is of interest to anyone seeking to better understand group dynamics, the social nature of moods and emotions, or the ways in which affective phenomena can be leveraged to increase human performance and productivity.
Research on Managing Groups and Teams is now available online at ScienceDirect full-text online of volumes 3 onwards.
*Advances understanding of groups and teams within the organizational context
*Emphasis is on empirical investigation andtheoretical analysis, focusing on new perspectives and cutting edge approaches
*A multi-disciplinary work including: social psychology, sociology, political science, organizational behavior and theory

Negotiations are ubiquitous in business, politics, and private life. In many cases their outcome is of great importance. Yet, negotiators frequently act irrationally and fail to reach mutually beneficial agreements. Cognitive biases like overconfidence, egocentrism, and the mythical fixed pie illusion oftentimes foreclose profitable results. A further cognitive bias is the attachment effect: Parties are influenced by their subjective expectations formed on account of the exchange of offers, they form reference points, and loss aversion potentially leads to a change of preferences when expectations change.

This book presents a motivation, formalization, and substantiation of the attachment effect. Thereby, preferences and behavior are approached from a microeconomic and a psychological perspective. Two experiments show clear evidence for a systematic bias. The results can be used for prescriptive advice to negotiators: either for debiasing or to systematically affect the counterparty.

Confessions are generally motivated by a desire to reduce fear and minimize consequences. Sometimes “hard techniques” designed to intimidate or threaten a person may result in an unreliable or fabricated confession. Providing a person with justification for his/her guilty wrongdoing is the key to getting a confession. The paradigm shift in gaining intelligence involves motivating the person to provide information by developing a relationship, bond or attachment with the interviewer. The use of “soft techniques” can often yield more information. In his book “Liar: The Art of Detecting Deception and Eliciting Responses,” Mr. McManus offers readers tried and true methods of effective interrogation techniques. From the early history of deception through modern deception practices, Mr. McManus provides a solid foundation on which the reader can build his/her effective deception detection skills. A must read for those in law enforcement, intelligence and security communities.

The second half of the twentieth century witnessed a quite dramatic shift in the nature of white collar employment, from lifetime tenure, often in a very hierarchical work structure, to a new model defined by flatter organizations, job insecurity, shorter tenures, declining attachment between employer and employee, and contingent work. Managing employment relations has become an issue of huge strategic importance as businesses struggle to respond to the pace of change in management systems and working practices. Employment Relationships: New Models of White-Collar Work traces the latest developments in employment arrangements drawn from a number of business contexts. These include the rising role of outside hiring and lateral moves in shaping and managing careers, increased career uncertainty, and much greater variety in organizational structures – even within industries and professions – as employers struggle to meet the diverging demands of their product markets.

Marking the 50th anniversary of an icon of American industry, this book celebrates a half-century of Bobcat with brilliant images of these quintessentially American machines at work, including historical photographs and diagrams, alongside the full story of the only compact machines that have ever mattered.
Often imitated but never equaled, the Bobcat skid-steer loader was born when some hardy souls in the Northern Plains needed a new way to get work done. The pictures in these pages show how the Bobcat loader has been moving American industry ever since, joined over the years by Bobcat excavators and trenchers, utility trucks and more.
Bobcat Fifty Years “chronicles the changes and innovations that have kept the company at the forefront of the nation’s compact machinery makers–from the invention of the Bob-Tach quick-change attachment system to the introduction of the Big Bob, the Mini-Bob, and the M-700, the first hydrostatic loader of its size. Here, again and again, is evidence of why Fortune Magazine” named the Bobcat one of “America’s best”–one of the 100 American-made products that represent the best of their kind, anywhere in the world.

THIS EXQUISITELY CRAFTED MEMOIR follows one woman’s tumultuous journey from her childhood in communist Romania to her coming of age in the United States. Filled with anecdotes and incidents with family and friends in several countries on two continents, the book vividly re-creates the experiences of new immigrants to America — especially the experience of the latest wave of newcomers from the former Socialist bloc.

Anca Vlasopolos writes movingly of the hyphenated, ambiguous identities assumed by displaced people; the purgatory in which immigrants await transfer to another country; the mysterious nostalgia for places and events dimly recalled. Throughout, she describes the constant search for a place truly to call home. Vlasopolos chronicles years of limbo in Brussels and Paris as well as her settlement in Detroit, Michigan, where she will never feel completely at home. Even the country of her birth, with its endemic anti-Semitism and xenophobia, does not serve as a home or even match the scenes of her nostalgic longing.

The true heroine of the story is Vlasopolos’s mother, an Auschwitz survivor who raised young Anca herself after the death of her husband, a Greek political dissident. This extraordinary woman’s spirit, sharp intelligence, sense of humor, and flair for fashioning the appearance of opulence in the face of poverty provide some of the most arresting moments in the book. The deep attachment and strong mutual support between mother and daughter come through clearly in Vlasopolos’s moving tribute.

Vividly describing the smells and tastes of delicate pastries and salmon caviar and cagey exertions to hide rare indulgences from the authorities; her accidental discovery ofher Jewish identity and the euphemisms to cover the fact of her father’s death; a meeting of the Communists’ censorship committee and her difficulties in obtaining an American library card — Vlasopolos has composed an extraordinary and profound addition to the literature of exile.
“No Return Address” is a vivid memoir of a life in exile and a poignant meditation on pleasure and loss, repression and transgression, and the complexities of love under harsh human conditions. In recounting her life’s journey from Romania to Paris and Brussels, then on to the United States, Anca Vlasopolos writes movingly of the peculiar attributes of displacement in the contemporary world — the hyphenated, ambiguous identities; the purgatory in which immigrants await transfer to another country; the mysterious nostalgia for places and events dimly recalled. Throughout, she describes the constant search for a place to truly call home.

Vlasopolos renders a clear and loving portrait of her mother, an Auschwitz survivor courageously raising a young girl by herself after the death of her husband, a political dissident. She details their years of limbo in Brussels and Paris and of settlement in Detroit, Michigan, as well as her ultimate decision to identify the United States as home, inspired by the strong multicultural quality that allows so many others to do the same.

The parent’s anti-advice book, it’s chicken soup for the spleen of all those ex-best friends bumped for baby. A rural, attachment-parenting single mom and a married, urban working mom–best friends estranged by their polarized parenting perspectives-take on the mothering taboos that alienate women from themselves and each other. This comic Rashomon journey through Trials by Parenthood blazes a trail for every mom shoveling through the dogma-doo in search of her own personally-correct answers. By defying the dogmas and doublespeak of Big Mother, these fugitives from the Mommy Police launch a conspiracy of validation for all women hiding in the closet of the parentally-incorrect.
