Taming the Risk Hurricane

A leading expert on risk management describes how to steer your company through a risk hurricane-the extreme risk exposure that can lead to major disruption for your business. Risk management has become a standard part of the strategic tool kit, providing senior leaders with a forward-looking radar to scan the future and give early warnings of approaching threats and opportunities. However, even best-in-class organizations can falter in the face of extreme risk exposure. Special circumstances demand special responses, and extreme risk exposure needs very careful handling. Routine risk management approaches will fall short, but businesses that demonstrate a high degree of flexibility and resilience will have the competitive advantage and the ability to thrive where others fail. The causes and consequences of meteorological hurricanes have parallels in the way uncontrolled risk exposure can develop in organizations. Both are caused largely by predictable factors, but both are characterized by sustained uncertainty and severe impact once they develop. If we can learn to predict a risk hurricane, prepare for it effectively, and survive its effects, then our organizations will be well placed to address the challenge of extreme risk exposure, if and when we are unfortunate enough to face it.

Manajemen Pendidikan Inklusif Sekolah Dasar

Penulis membuka pemikiran saya bahwa pemisahan pendidikan terhadap anak-anak berkebutuhan khusus menjadikan diskriminasi terhadap mereka tumbuh di tengah masyarakat. Benar jalan terbaik menjawab tantangan ini adalah sekolah inklusif di mana anak-anak berkebutuhan khusus ikut dalam pembelajaran di sekolah reguler tetapi memperhatikan kebutuhan mereka. Dasar pemikiran dan hukum pendidikan inklusif baik secara global maupun nasional bisa kita dapatkan dalam buku ini. Di dalam buku ini juga membahas prinsip dasar pendidikan inklusif. Bahkan, penulis juga telah membahas hal-hal perinci dan praktis yang perlu disiapkan dalam pendidikan inklusif. Dapat dikatakan buku ini adalah paket komplet bagaimana menyelenggarakan pendidikan inklusif di sekolah kita. Mari kita jadikan dunia ini lebih baik untuk semua orang. —Widi Purwanto, S.Si. (Ketua Yayasan YPK Penabur Kebumen) Buku ini menjelaskan sangat gamblang mengenai pandangan masyarakat umumnya terhadap Anak Berkebutuhan Khusus (ABK), masalah yang terjadi di dalam pendidikan inklusif juga terkait manajemen pendidikan inklusif itu sendiri, sarana dan prasarana, serta juga bagaimana sekolah sebagai tempat terjadinya proses belajar dan mengajar bisa menyiapkan dirinya membantu pemerintah merealisasikan Nawa Cita pemerataan pendidikan untuk seluruh warga negara Indonesia. Dengan dijelaskannya beberapa hal di atas oleh penulis, saya yakin hal ini menjadi inspirasi pemerintah sebagai pembuat kebijakan, universitas sebagai lembaga penghasil tenaga pendidik atau guru, sekolah sebagai satuan pendidikan tempat untuk setiap anak belajar agar bisa mempersiapkan kurikulum dan melatih para guru untuk membuat program khusus, orangtua sebagai lingkungan utama dan pertama di dalam proses awal pendidikan, serta masyarakat sebagai lingkungan sosial tempat setiap anak-anak bertumbuh dan berkembang. —Lius Iman Santoso Ciputera, S.E., M.Pd.

Bread and Salt

Bread and Salt - a literal translation of the Russian word for hospitality - explores the social and economic implications of eating and drinking in Russia in the thousand years before 1900. Eating and drinking are viewed here as social activities which involves the economics of production, storage and distribution of food stuffs. These activities attract both social controls and state taxation; in this way the everyday process of eating and drinking is linked with the history of Russia. The dominance of grain in the diet throughout the period and the importance of salt, as implied in the title, are dealt with, as are the early Russian beer-drinking fraternities. The relatively late introduction of spirits, in the from of vodka, and it disastrous consequences in social terms are described. Tea and the samovar, also much more a latecomer than is generally realized, did little to diminish excessive drinking. Drinking, in any event, was by no means discourage by the state, since it was a major source of state income. The final section of the book looks at rural diets in the nineteenth century, when some variation and new items, such as the potato, became important. At the same time, peasants depended basically on the grain crop, as they had for thousands of years. Forced by txation to enter the market, afflicted by severe famines towards the end of the century, many peasants ate and drank no better as a result of the modernization of the county.

The Myth of American Religious Freedom

In the battles over religion and politics in America, both liberals and conservatives often appeal to history. Liberals claim that the Founders separated church and state. But for much of American history, David Sehat writes, Protestant Christianity was intimately intertwined with the state. Yet the past was not the Christian utopia that conservatives imagine either. Instead, a Protestant moral establishment prevailed, using government power to punish free thinkers and religious dissidents. In The Myth of American Religious Freedom, Sehat provides an eye-opening history of religion in public life, overturning our most cherished myths. Originally, the First Amendment applied only to the federal government, which had limited authority. The Protestant moral establishment ruled on the state level. Using moral laws to uphold religious power, religious partisans enforced a moral and religious orthodoxy against Catholics, Jews, Mormons, agnostics, and others. Not until 1940 did the U.S. Supreme Court extend the First Amendment to the states. As the Supreme Court began to dismantle the connections between religion and government, Sehat argues, religious conservatives mobilized to maintain their power and began the culture wars of the last fifty years. To trace the rise and fall of this Protestant establishment, Sehat focuses on a series of dissenters--abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison, suffragist Elizabeth Cady Stanton, socialist Eugene V. Debs, and many others. Shattering myths held by both the left and right, David Sehat forces us to rethink some of our most deeply held beliefs. By showing the bad history used on both sides, he denies partisans a safe refuge with the Founders.

Human Relations in Industry

Radical

SEBERAPA BESARKAH YESUS BERARTI BAGI ANDA? Terlalu mudah bagi Orang Kristen masa kini untuk melupakan apa yang telah Yesus katakan tentang bagaimana para pengikut-Nya harus hidup, tentang gaya hidup seperti apa yang patut mereka jalani. Kata Yesus, para pengikut-Nya akan meninggalkan rasa aman, uang, kenyamanan, bahkan keluarga mereka sendiri demi Dia. Mereka akan meninggalkan segala sesuatu demi injil. Mereka akan memikul salibnya tiap-tiap hari.... Tapi, siapa yang Anda kenal telah menjalani hidup seperti ini? Lalu, bagaimana dengan Anda sendiri? Dalam buku Radical, David Platt menantang Anda untuk dengan hati terbuka merenungkan betapa kita telah memanipulasi Injil supaya cocok dengan gambaran budaya kita sendiri. Ia menunjukkan apa yang sebenarnya dikatakan Yesus tentang menjadi murid-Nya, lalu ia mengajak Anda untuk percaya dan taat pada apa yang telah Anda dengar. Ia pun membagikan kisah dramatis tentang apa yang terjadi ketika sebuah gereja perkotaan yang “sukses” memutuskan untuk serius dengan Injil menurut versi Yesus. Akhirnya, ia mendorong Anda untuk bergabung dengan Eksperimen Radikal, perjalanan selama setahun dalam pemuridan sejati yang akan mentransformasi bagaimana cara Anda menjalani hidup di sebuah dunia yang sangat membutuhkan Kabar Baik Yesus.

Federico Garcia Lorca

A look at Lorca's ambivalent view of his own homosexuality as expressed through his life and his art. The restless passion and vibrant imagery of Federico Garcia Lorca's theatre and poetry continue to exercise a powerful fascination. Long recognized as the most innovative writer of twentieth century Spain, plays like Blood Wedding and collections of poetry such as Poet in New York are now considered amongst the artistic masterpieces of our century. This Outline focuses on Lorca's extraordinary creativity through the prism of his homosexuality without ever reducing the power of that work to a simple reading.

Montgomery Clift

"Montgomery Clift (1920-1966) was one of the most innovative stars in the history of post-war Hollywood, an actor of stunning beauty and delicacy who inspired contemporaries like Marlon Brando and James Dean, and who was nominated four times for an Academy Award. A major part of his appeal resided in the fact that he was a different kind of star, one that represented vulnerability, rebellion and less orthodox ways of being a man. If anything, Clift's appeal deepened after his death as evidence emerged of his bisexuality; he had relationships with a number of men, and there were even rumours that he and Elizabeth Taylor had contemplated getting married. Turbulent and self-consuming, he was blighted by alcohol and drug addiction, and died, a relatively forgotten figure, a few months before his forty-sixth birthday."--BOOK JACKET.
