from accidents to zero andrew sharman

As leaders increasingly understand the importance of good safety practice to support their business objectives, safety and health practitioners develop better tools and solutions. However, there is still a gulf between these two groups where engagement, communication and shared understanding can be found lacking. From Accidents to Zero opens up the field of safety culture and breaks it down into bite-sized pieces to facilitate new, critical thought and inspire practical action.Based on the concept of creating safety, as opposed to just preventing accidents, each of the 26 chapters in this user-friendly book includes explanation, commentary, reflections and practical activities designed to systematically and sustainably improve workplace safety culture. Core topics range from behaviour to values, daily rituals to unsafe acts, felt leadership to trust.Andrew Sharman s practical guide blends current academic thinking with authoritative guidance and sets up the opportunity for all parts of the organization to close the gap by providing very clear steps to thinking and acting differently. It sparks insight into how both traditional methods and novel approaches can be brought to life in real world situations. From Accidents to Zero offers a clear route to culture change through over one hundred pragmatic ideas to motivate and lead people, influence behaviour and drive a positive evolution in workplace safety.

Ide o jednu z najdôležitejších diskusií v súčasnej cirkvi. A najkontroverznejších. Andrew Marin do nej vnáša svieži, vľúdny a novátorský hlas. Nevníma túto tému len ako nejakú pálčivú „otázku“ – vidí za ňou tvár, priateľa, Božie dieťa. Vidí za ňou Ježiša, ktorého láska je pre mnohých ťažko uchopiteľná, pretože u jeho nasledovníkov sa stretli s niečím iným.Andrew nám pripomína, že či už sme ladení konzervatívne alebo liberálne, môžeme mať skvelé myšlienky, a predsa byť krutí a samospravodliví. To, že sme kresťania, však ľudia nespoznajú podľa toho, čo citujeme, ale podľa našej lásky.Na konci knihy vás Andrew nebude žiadať, aby ste súhlasili s jeho názormi na gejskú a lesbickú orientáciu alebo životný štýl. Vlastne vás nezahrnie ani množstvom polemických názorov. Pokúsi sa pomôcť vám pochopiť, čo sa naučil počúvaním s otvoreným a chápavým srdcom voči lesbám a gejom. A tiež sa pokúsi pomôcť vám reagovať na gejov a lesby vo vašom svete zrelšie a chápavejšie. Na záver vás požiada, aby ste sa zhodli na jednej hlavnej veci: že pre skutočných Ježišových nasledovníkov je jedinou správnou cestou orientácia a životný štýl lásky.Brian McLarenAndrew Marin je prezidentom a zakladateľom The Marin Foundation. Je ženatý, má dve deti. Dvanásť rokov žil v časti Chicaga známej ako Boystown (dnes Northalsted), kde žije veľa LGBT+ ľudí. Dnes žije vo Washingtone, D.C. a venuje sa poradenstvu.

Taking the reader through the fragmentary text of Petronius Satyrica in a coherent sequence, this book gives a deeper understanding of the fascinating aesthetic, literary and social issues raised within the text. Petronius Satyrica has long been popular with readers of Latin: it is one of the few texts that offers a glimpse into non-elite society in the early Roman imperial period. It is also one of only a handful of ancient novels to survive in any form, and certainly the most racy and controversial. Supported by a detailed contextualising introduction and companion website resources, these selections from the Latin text are carefully annotated for students and a full vocabulary can be found at the end of the book.The selections in this edition put at centre stage the figure of Eumolpus: poet, storyteller and would-be critic, as well as charlatan, swindler and lecher. He is one of the major characters in what survives of the Satyrica; he serves as an internal narrator for many of the longer embedded poems and stories; and he meditates on topics of great interest, not the least being the perceived decline of art, science and culture in the contemporary Graeco-Roman world. In this way,students are introduced to some of the best-known myths and tales of antiquity, including the Capture of Troy and the Widow of Ephesus, while affording the opportunity to translate both prose and verse passages, and to consider and evaluate the Satyrica s relationship to the literary tradition.

V rokoch 2007 a 2008 svet zažíval finančný a ekonomický kolaps. Táto kniha odhaľuje jeho príčiny vrátane čoraz väčšej globálnej ekonomickej nerovnováhy, rozmach vo využívaní nových finančných nástrojov, nesprávneho riadenia rizík i úloh, ktoré pri kolapse zohrali bývanie a zadlžovanie. Odkrýva dôkazy o tom, že keď ku kolapsu došlo, nebolo vo svete všetko v poriadku a že mnohí politici a finanční lídri hroziace nebezpečenstvá ignorovali. Autor, uznávaný odborník v oblasti ekonómie na fakulte Oriel College Oxfordskej univerzity, popisuje kľúčové udalosti kolapsu a vysvetľuje hlavné mechanizmy, ktoré prispeli k jeho urýchleniu. Záchranné nástroje zo strany bánk podrobuje bližšiemu ekonomickému rozboru, pričom osobitnú pozornosť venuje skrytým spôsobom ich fungovania a objasňuje, kto v skutočnosti znáša príslušné náklady a v akej miere dochádza k vzniku nových rizík. Hodnovernosť argumentov uvedených v knihe sa zvyšuje aj vďaka tomu, že autorovi sa podarilo identifikovať kľúčové faktory kolapsu a upriamiť na ne pozornosť verejnosti ešte pred jeho vypuknutím. Na margo tejto knihy Charles Goodhart, emeritný profesor na Londýnskej škole ekonómie, odbor bankovníctvo a financie, poznamenal: Andrew Farlow napísal doteraz najzaujímavejšiu knihu o finančnom kolapse (respektíve v období pred ním, počas neho a po ňom), v ktorej sa pod rúškom živého rozprávania o odhalených ľudských slabostiach skrýva úctyhodné úsilie (dvadsaťdvastranová bibliografie obsahujúca autorove prednášky).

From Tudor to Stuart: The Regime Change from Elizabeth I to James I tells the story of the troubled accession of England s first Scottish king and the transition from the age of the Tudors to the age of the Stuarts at the dawn of the seventeenth century. From Tudor to Stuart: The Regime Change from Elizabeth I to James I tells the story of the dramatic accession and first decade of the reign of James I and the transition from the Elizabethan to the Jacobean era, using a huge range of sources, from state papers and letters to drama, masques, poetry, and a host of material objects. The Virgin Queen was a hard act to follow for a Scottish newcomer who faced a host of problems in his first years as king: not only the ghost of his predecessor and her legacy but also unrest in Ireland, serious questions about his legitimacy on the English throne, and even plots to remove him (most famously the Gunpowder Plot of 1605).Contrary to traditional assumptions, James s accession was by no means a smooth one. The really important question about James s reign, of course, is the extent of change that occurred in national political life and royal policies. Sue Doran also examines how far the establishment of a new Stuart dynasty resulted in fresh personnel at the centre of power, and the alterations in monarchical institutions and shifts in political culture and governmental policies that occurred.Here the book offers a fresh look at James and his wife Anna, suggesting a new interpretation of their characters and qualities. But the Jacobean era was not just about James and his wife, and Regime Change includes a host of historical figures, many of whom will be familiar to readers: whether Walter Raleigh, Robert Cecil, or the Scots who filled James s inner court. The inside story of the Jacobean court also brings to life the wider politics and national events of the early seventeenth century, including the Gunpowder Plot, the establishment of Jamestown in Virginia, the Plantations in Ulster, the growing royal struggle with parliament, and the doomed attempt to bring about union with Scotland.

Modern New York: The Illustrated Story of Architecture in the Five Boroughs from 1920 to Today takes the reader on a roller-coaster ride through the changing fortunes of New York City throughout the last hundred years, from the heights of the Roaring Twenties and Mad Men Fifties, to the depths of the Great Depression Thirties, through to Fear City in the Seventies, and beyond. Many of the featured buildings won t be found in city guides and some of them are no longer around but each one played an integral part in the fascinating story of the five boroughs. The ten decades are explored through some 150 buildings in all corners of the city, from Rockefeller Center to the Pan Am Building to the Standard Hotel, as well as treasures lost, such as the 1927 Savoy-Plaza Hotel, and treasures rescued, such as the astonishingly glamourous 1924 American Radiator Building, now the Bryant Park Hotel.New York City has been described from every possible angle through thousands of books. But not many of them venture out of Manhattan, let alone visit all five boroughs. Out of these, only a handful is accessible to non-experts and fewer still are entertaining and illustrated.And none of them offer such a crisp and visually unified picture of the Big Apple.

Kniha se zaměřuje na vzájemné přesahy mezi spravedlností, právem a etikou v současné době. Analýzy navazují nejen na evropské a severoamerické autory, jak je obvyklé, ale přinášejí hlavně rozbory z málo známé latinskoamerické perspektivy. Kniha oslovuje čtenáře, kteří mají zájem o současné otázky v oblasti morální, právní a politické filosofie, právní teorie a sociologie práva. The book contains critical analyses of injustice in connection to law and ethics, and develops normative alternatives linked to justice. It covers the relevant issues from social justice to cyber justice. The chapters address issues and concepts which guideline on social innovations, transformations inherent in democratizing processes, global conflicts and other interactions, including the ultimate danger of escalation to war conflicts, be they conventional wars or new cyberwars. The volume includes chapters from renowned philosophers and social scientists. While the book contains also analyses of authors from Western Europe, the specific contribution of the book is that it allows for the enrichment of global discussions from other perspectives, particularly from Latin America and Central Europe. It is now more evident than ever before that it is impossible to formulate a critical concept of global in/justice without the participation of colleagues from many parts of the world.

Looking closely at the integral link between the history of the world and that of the church, Church History paints a portrait of God s people within its setting of times, cultures, and events that both influenced and were influenced by the church.FEATURES:Maps, charts, and illustrations spanning the time from the first through the thirteenth centuries.Overviews of the Roman, Greek, and Jewish worlds and how they developed or declined.Insights into the church s relationship to the Roman Empire, with glimpses into pagan attitudes toward Christians.Explanations of the role of art, architecture, literature, and philosophy—both sacred and secular—in the Church.Details on the major theological controversies of the periods.Each chapter also contains callout passages from Scripture to assist in understanding the narrative of the Church, even to the present day, as part of the greater narrative of the Bible.AUTHOR S PERSPECTIVE:Scholar and writer Everett Ferguson wrote this history of the church from the perspective that such a history is the story of the greatest movement and community the world has known. It s a human story of a divinely called people who wanted to live by a divine revelation. It s a story of how they succeeded and how they failed or fell short of their calling.From the Apostle Paul to the apologists and martyrs of the second century to Martin Luther, the historical figures detailed are people who have struggled with the meaning of the greatest event in history—the coming of the Son of God—and with their role in that event and in the lives of God s people.

Analyzing sex-offense laws and false claims, this book shows that laws based on vengeance rather than justice or evidence create new forms of harm while failing to address the real and pervasive problem of sexual violence.In this timely and extensively researched book, sociologist Emily Horowitz shows how current sex-offense policies in the United States create new forms of harm and prevent those who have caused harm from the process of constructive repentance or contributing to society after punishment. Horowitz also illustrates the failure of criminal justice responses to social problems. Sharing detailed narratives from the experiences of those on registries and their loved ones, Horowitz reveals the social impact and cycle of violence that results from dehumanizing and banishing those who have already been held accountable.From Rage to Reason offers a new perspective on how and why false claims about sex offenses became so pervasive and how these myths fostered ineffective policies that have little to do with the reality of most sexual abuse. It argues that to truly prevent sexual abuse, we must unearth the sources of these misunderstandings, debunk these claims in a systematic way, and have frank and genuine discussions about the limits of legal responses to complex social problems.

A fascinating and timely account of the current crisis in the relationship between Russia and the United States Daniel Beer, The New York Times Could not be more timely ... crucial reading for anyone interested in what s happening inside Putin s head Oliver Bullough, ProspectA revelatory, behind-the-scenes account of Russian-American relations, from a former US ambassador and Obama s top White House advisor on Russia policy (The New York Times)In 2008, when Michael McFaul was asked to leave his perch at Stanford and join President-elect Barack Obama s national security team, he had no idea that he would find himself at the beating heart of one of today s most contentious international relationships. McFaul had been studying and visiting Russia for decades, becoming one of America s preeminent scholars on the country during the first Putin era.During President Obama s first term, McFaul helped craft the policy known as Reset, which fostered unprecedented collaboration between the two countries under Dmitry Medvedev s presidency. Later, as U.S. ambassador from 2012 to 2014, he witnessed firsthand how Vladimir Putin s new rise interrupted this era of cooperation and returned Russian-American relations to a level of hostility not known since the darkest days of the Cold War. From the outset of his ambassadorship, the Kremlin accused McFaul of being sent by Obama to foment revolution against Putin s regime.This resulting insider s account - uniquely combining history, politics and intimate personal knowledge of the corridors of power - takes us from Putin s dacha to ornate Kremlin chambers and the Oval Office, to explain how Russia really works, and why the world has entered a dangerous new era of confrontation.
