"The Dharmic Leader," no leadership model existed that aligned with Hindu or Buddhist secular core values."The Dharmic Leader" presents a values-based model that draws upon core secular Hindu and Buddhist values that adherents have followed for more than three thousand years. Section I of this book describes the core values and behaviors that reflect the dharmic leadership model. Section II presents an in-depth description of the philosophy that provides the foundation for the dharmic leadership model and how it fits into the West in the 21st century.- "The Dharmic Leader" is organized into four sections: the leader's view of reality, the leader's relationship to self, the leader's relationship to others, and the leader's relationship to nature.- It focuses on the leader, not the followers.- It is centered on following dharma; the individual's responsibility in analyzing each situation, choosing the most appropriate solution reflecting the circumstances of the situation, and taking virtuous action to solve the situation.- It emphasizes the values of respect, humility, equanimity, diversity, the equality of all people, and a holistic view of every situation.- It is flexible. It allows the inclusion of some existing leadership tools and team building techniques.

This is a unique collection of ten of Chesterton's famous Father Brown stories which puts special emphasis on the role that Brown's Catholic faith played in helping him solve the murder mysteries. As Dorothy Sayers once wrote, Chesterton was "the first man of our time to introduce the great name of God into a detective story ... to enlarge the boundaries of the detective story by making it deal with death and real wickedness and real, that is to say, divine judgment."This paperback Father Brown edition includes generous footnotes (not available in other editions) which help to clarify the literary and historical allusions made by Father Brown. It is based on the texts of the original editions by Chesterton for assurance of complete authenticity, and is set in easily readable type. These are excellent short detective yarns in the classic British tradition of Sherlock Holmes - puzzling concoctions of mysterious crimes, dubious suspects and ambiguous clues. They are among the very best of the Father Brown stories.

What he has assembled here is a set of poems written in the aftermath of a divorce. I like this book so much that I am almost grateful for the divorce, because without it, I doubt we would have such a window into this gentle soul. Here there is pain, and joy, and something that straddles them, what John at times refers to as “beauty.”The poetry is disarmingly mature. He’s not trying to impress the grownups because he knows he is one of them, and is in fact contending with being among the elderly—quite a shock to those of us who remember dressing in bandanas, discovering the legends of rock music, and marching against war. We were there celebrating youth, and now we are old. Oh well.But as John points out, sublime moments, the kind we think of as “beautiful” are lost in coarse environments, which is it seems, where John concludes. With several poetic statements about the resurgence of war culture, like our own, John calls us back to our younger halves, the ones that marched oh, say, 50 years ago. Many things of beauty came out of this vortex, in part, perhaps, we were able to be vigilant in opposing it—but not vigilant enough. - Peter Friesen, from the Introduction

This book, the nature of mountains, is poetry of the natural world where something meaningful bodies forth. The mountains are a source point that allow this to occur; this can be found in the city as well if we know how to release and go there. These poems cover leaving, dimension, your mountain, yosemite journal, and Adventures in Weather. Many years working and living in Yosemite National Park by the author help give much to this poetry. Some of these poems were presented at the Yosemite Centennial Celebration Concert in The Great Lounge of the Ahwahnee Hotel, September 2, 1990, sponsored by the National Park Service. All of us at one time or another find the pull to the mountains overwhelming, poets cannot help but draw inspiration and are compelled to write. Here is one such collection.

"At the 50th Anniversary Beat Conference at NYU in 1994, Gregory Corso led off his part of the Town Hall Concert with the statement that poets should bring the News of the Day to the community. . . Since then I've taken it upon myself, prior to a reading or concert, to find that poem that is the News of the Day, reading it to start off the event."--John Peterson, author.

Scholastic realism is a type of moderate realism. As such, it falls between platonism and nominalism on the issue of universals. Universals, strictly speaking, only exist in minds, but they are founded on real relations of similarity in the world. Scholastic realism goes beyond moderate realism and affirms that universals also exist transcendently; but instead of having a separated existence, transcendent universals exist in God's mind. This work argues that moderate realism is implied by the correct analysis of predication and persons, and that Scholastic realism, in particular, is implied by the correct analysis of knowledge, truth, and right action.

This book introduces readers to Thomistic philosophy through selected topics such as being, God, teleology, truth, persons and knowledge, ethics, and universals. Defending the basis of Aquinas' natural-law ethics, Introduction to Thomistic Philosophy reveals the role of universalizability and the relation of right and good in his ethics.

This 1959 book was written to assist medical students in viewing their child patients within a social context. It provides a framework within which trainee doctors can understand the broader needs of the patient, encouraging a more complex view of the medical environment than one limited to academic detachment.

Based on exhaustive research, this book explains how the European Union makes decisions in seven major policy sectors. The book's central themes are that informal norms often matter more than formal rules, agency often matters more than structure, and abrupt change often punctuates deadlock.

Deals with teleology, truth, predication, knowledge and belief, universals, body and mind, soul, and reason. The book's approach is integrative, scholastic and analytic. Teleology is required for causality, truth and reason. Where the measure is an end, things measure mind in theoretical truth and mind measures things in practical truth.

In his widely acclaimed text, Peterson shows how the end of the Cold War actually enhances the prospects for US-EU partnership. Europe and America is completely updated and available in paperback for the first time.
