A twentieth-century classic, Appointment in Samarra is the first and most widely read book by the writer Fran Leibowitz called “the real F. Scott... Fitzgerald.”In December 1930, just before Christmas, the Gibbsville social circuit is electrified with parties and dances, where the music plays late into the night and the liquor flows freely. At the center of the social elite stand Julian and Caroline English—the envy of friends and strangers alike. But in one rash moment born inside a highball glass, Julian breaks with polite society and begins a rapid descent toward self-destruction. Appointment in Samarra brilliantly captures the personal politics and easy bitterness of small-town life. It is John O’Hara’s crowning achievement, and a lasting testament to the keen social intelligence of a major American novelist.

Among the towering red cliffs of Petra, like some monstrous swollen Buddha, sits the corpse of Mrs. Boynton. A tiny puncture mark on her wrist is the... only sign of the fatal injection that killed her. With only twenty-four hours available to solve the mystery, Hercule Poirot recalled a chance remark he’d overheard back in Jerusalem: “You see, don’t you, that she’s got to be killed?” Mrs. Boynton was, indeed, the most detestable woman he’d ever met. . . .

Appreciative Coaching describes an approach to coaching that is rooted in Appreciative Inquiry. At its core the Appreciative Coaching method shows... individuals how to tap into (or rediscover) their own sense of wonder and excitement about their present life and future possibilities. Rather than focusing on individuals in limited or problem-oriented ways, Appreciate Coaching guides clients through four stages—Discovery, Dream, Design, and Destiny—that inspire them to an appreciative and empowering view of themselves and their future.

This book provides a concise introduction to and overview of the growing discipline and practice of Appreciative Inquiry (AI). If you are intrigued by... the prospect of mobilizing rapid, positive change with multiple stakeholders in a human system that is important to you, this book is for you.

Written by the originators and leaders of the Appreciative Inquiry (AI) movement itself, this short, practical guide offers an approach to... organizational change based on the possibility of a more desirable future, experience with the whole system, and activities that signal "something different is happening this time." That difference systematically taps the potential of human beings to make themselves, their organizations, and their communities more adaptive and more effective. AI, a theory of collaborative change, erases the winner/loser paradigm in favor of coordinated actions and closer relationships that lead to solutions at once simpler and more effective.

It contains tools and other resources to help with immediate use in the workplace and new and updated case studies that show how it really works.

"Appreciative Inquiry Handbook explains in-depth what AI is and how it works, and includes stories of AI interventions and classic articles, sample... project plans, interview guidelines, participant worksheets, a list of resources, a glossary of terms, and more.

The secret to success lies in something that everyone has the ability to do: reframe reality to reveal the hidden potential within even the most... apparently unpromising present. "Appreciative Intelligence marks the first time that this ability has been rigorously investigated. Arguing that the keys to Appreciative Intelligence are revealing the hidden value in others and building an infrastructure, environment, or culture that spreads the leader's Appreciative Intelligence, Tojo Thatchenkery and Carol Metzker draw on real-life examples and thorough interviews with top executives to identify actual examples of this elusive ability. Through these examples they show how a knack for creatively dealing with unexpected situations is the common bond between a diverse range of success stories. The authors also show that time and time again, an understanding of Appreciative Intelligence leads to organizations that enjoy higher levels of innovation, more productive employees, greater ability to adapt to changes, and, ultimately, greater profit.

Text is presented in French. In this new edition, one third of the exercises that first appeared in 1990 have been replaced with brand new ones. While... some of these deal with questions already covered in earlier editions, others introduce new translation problems: acronyms and initialisms, street signs and notices, the prepositions 'with' and 'avec', 'on' and 'sur'. Two carefully composed exercises address the question of levels of language in a systematic manner that students will find helpful and readily comprehensible. In all the existing exercises, sentences that had become old-fashioned have been replaced or modified; stronger, clearer introductory explanations are provided for exercises that needed them; thus, every exercise has some new material. An effort has been made to introduce contemporary vocabulary useful in other courses and in everyday life.

126pages. poche. broché. Apprendre à finir. Et pourtant, il y a cet accident de voiture et avec lui la possibilité, peut-être, de calfeutrer les... failles trop nombreuses et toujours plus larges d'un couple au bord de la rupture. Pour elle, ce serait l'occasion d'oublier les infidélités, les mesquineries, les haines accumulées ; de repartir à zéro en se dévouant tout entière à la guérison de l'être cher. Et qu'importe si les enfants n'éprouvent que dégoût et lassitude, qu'importe s'il faut ranger son orgueil. Mais très vite pointent à nouveau les doutes : et si tous ces espoirs n'étaient que chimères ? Et si l'autre, la rivale abhorrée, n'avait pas disparu ? Car "rien ne change. Tout est déjà là. Rien, il n'y a qu'à attendre ce jour qui vous délivrera de l'illusion des autres, c'est tout". Ce deuxième roman de Laurent Mauvignier (après Loin d'eux) se lit comme un long monologue fragmentaire, qui épouse les soubresauts de la conscience d'une narratrice dont on ne sait plus très bien si elle est lucide ou si elle divague ; sa parole vacille en permanence, hésite entre la rage et la résignation, la douleur et l'indifférence, la trop cruelle raison et les égarements du coeur et de l'esprit. -Nathalie Gouiffès
