Collaborative Divorce Handbook. Helping Families Without Going to Court
Forrest S. Mosten Collaborative Divorce Handbook Helping families without going to court Praise for Collaborative Divorce Handbook «There are many roads to peace. Whether you engage in collaborative practice, which by definition includes the provision that professionals will not represent the parties in litigation, or some other process for respectful conflict resolution, you will find Collaborative Divorce Handbook to be an invaluable resource for deepening your understanding and enhancing your skills as a peacemaker.» —Talia L. Katz, JD, executive director, International Academy of Collaborative Professionals «Collaborative lawyering is a promising new way of resolving disputes through joint problem solving rather than adversary litigation that has particular appeal for divorce cases. Whether you are a client who seeks to learn more about it or a lawyer using it who desires a wise guiding hand, this book is an invaluable resource.» —Frank E. A. Sander, Bussey Professor Emeritus, Harvard Law School «Written by one of the innovative thinkers in the field, Collaborative Divorce Handbook is a treasure of information for all professionals interested in collaborative divorce. Easy to read, expansive, and chock-full of resources, it is bound to become a classic.» —Constance Ahrons, PhD, author, The Good Divorce and We're Still Family, and professor emerita, University of Southern California «Family law is changing. As more people realize that the adversarial process is expensive, degrading, and stressful, they look for alternatives and find it in various forms of alternative dispute resolution. Woody Mosten is the nationally recognized leader of this movement, and his book on collaborative practice literally will be 'The Handbook' we will all follow.» —Garrett C. Dailey, Esq., CFLS, AAML, president, Attorney's BriefCase, Inc.
Reading the Room. Group Dynamics for Coaches and Leaders
Praise for Reading the Room «If you believe, as I do, that tackling our toughest problems in organizations and societies will require significant advances in the human domain of how we think and interact, then you will find this book a wonderful resource for a healthier future.»—Peter Senge, senior lecturer, leadership and sustainability, MIT Sloan School of Management; and founding chair, Society for Organizational Learning (SoL) «A must-read for anyone truly interested in gaining access to and managing their own actions/behavior as well as all those we work with, live with, and interact with. It will shift the way you, others, and the world occur for you.»—Michael C. Jensen, Jesse Isidor Straus Professor of Business Administration, emeritus, Harvard Business School «David Kantor is one of the very few master innovators and theorists in organizational leadership. In this combined story and practice guide, Kantor helps leaders see the hidden dynamics of the groups they lead, and the personal and social factors that shape their relationships with those groups.» —Art Kleiner, editor in chief, strategy+business «Kantor addresses the fundamental issue that leaders are surprisingly inept in conversation and in managing groups. Leaders and managers at all levels should be learning these concepts in order to improve their own ability to analyze what is going on and react appropriately.»—Edgar H. Schein, professor emeritus, MIT Sloan School of Management; and author, Helping: How to Offer, Give, and Receive Help «An exceptional book in the true sense of the word. It stands alone in its grasp of what it takes to succeed as a leader. It's not simply about mastering the five forces, milking cash cows, accelerating experience curves, or even spurring disruptive innovation. It's about reading the room. Leaders who gain mastery of what David Kantor has to teach in this book will achieve true success, not just as leaders, but as people.» —Diana M. Smith, chief executive partner, New Profit Inc.; and author, The Elephant in the Room: How Relationships Make or Break the Success of Leaders and Organizations «There are only a few wise masters in the world when it comes to any real understanding of leader-ship, and even fewer who share their secrets. David Kantor is one of them, and in Reading the Room we have brilliantly laid out before us both a unique lens and a highly practical method that will change for good the way you lead, and more, the way you think. Not to be missed!» —William Isaacs, author, Dialogue and the Art of Thinking Together; and senior lecturer, MIT Sloan School of Management

Can Journalism Survive? An Inside Look at American Newsrooms
Journalists have failed to respond adequately to the challenge of the Internet, with far-reaching consequences for the future of journalism and democracy. This is the compelling argument set forth in this timely new text, drawing on the most extensive ethnographic fieldwork in American newsrooms since the 1970s. David Ryfe argues that journalists are unable or unwilling to innovate for a variety of reasons: in part because habits are sticky and difficult to dislodge; in part because of their strategic calculation that the cost of change far exceeds its benefit; and in part because basic definitions of what journalism is, and what it is for, anchor journalism to tradition even when journalists prefer to change. The result is that journalism is unraveling as an integrated social field; it may never again be a separate and separable activity from the broader practice of producing news. One thing is certain: whatever happens next, it will have dramatic consequences for the role journalism plays in democratic society and perhaps will transform its basic meaning and purpose. Can Journalism Survive? is essential and provocative reading for all concerned with the future of journalism and society.

Мой закон: быть веселым и вечно хмельным
Знаменитые четверостишия-рубаи Омара Хайяма (ок. 1048 – ок. 1123) переводятся на русский язык уже более ста лет, но с особым успехом – начиная с 70-х годов XX века. В сборник, который вы держите в руках, вошли рубаи, переведенные замечательным поэтом и переводчиком восточной поэзии Германом Плисецким. «Хайям Германа Плисецкого убеждает прежде всего потому, что в его переводах старый иранский мудрец – действительно великий поэт» (Б. Слуцкий). Дополнительную ценность сборнику придают предисловие самого поэта-переводчика и послесловие с рассказом о его судьбе.
Русская и Сербская Православные Церкви в XX веке. История взаимоотношений
Книга известного церковного историка, доктора исторических наук, преподавателя Санкт-Петербургской духовной академии Михаила Витальевича Шкаровского освещает малоизвестные страницы истории взаимоотношений Сербской и Русской Церквей в XX веке и написана на основе большого количества неизвестных ранее архивных документов. Эти связи, имеющие многовековую историю, особенно ярко проявились в 1920-е – первой половине 1940-х гг., когда в Югославии находился центр и высшие органы управления Русской Православной Церкви за границей. Эмигранты из России построили в Югославии шесть церквей и часовен, создали несколько десятков общин и монастырей. Около 250 русских пастырей служили в сербских храмах, а российские богословы внесли неоценимый вклад в развитие духовного образования в стране. После 1945 г., несмотря на сложности в межгосударственных отношениях, успешно развивались связи Сербского и Московского Патриархатов. Рекомендуется преподавателям и студентам богословских учебных заведений, историкам и религиоведам, а также читателям, интересующимся историей Сербской и Русской Церквей в XX веке.
