Deidre Combs, "The Way of Conflict: Elemental Wisdom for Resolving Disputes and
Transcending Differences"
New World Library | ISBN 1577314492 | 2004 Year | CHM | 3,35 Mb | 224 Pages
The Way of Conflict teaches strategies for using time-tested knowledge and
modern techniques to confidently engage in any dispute and reach a balanced
resolution. The book integrates the wealth of conflict skills found throughout
the world's major religious and indigenous traditions with the latest scientific
systems and conflict resolution theory. Using the cross-cultural metaphor of the
four natural elements - earth, water, fire, and air - it identifies innate
conflicts in personalities and offers productive paths through the chaos of
conflict. Combining her extensive experience as a licensed mediator and
corporate trainer with insight gained from years of spiritual study, Deidre
Combs uses assessment tests, anecdotes from indigenous and religious traditions,
and illustrative folktales to show how to quickly assess a conflict and
implement an appropriate resolution strategy. The Way of Conflict helps people
overcome the sense of hopelessness they feel when facing personal, national, or
international conflicts, and can help improve relationships and decrease levels
of stress and frustration.

Collective Communication"
Springer | ISBN 030648689X | 2004 Year | PDF | 3,96 Mb | 458 Pages
Dialogue as a Means of Collective Communication offers a cross-disciplinary
approach to examining dialogue as a communicative medium. Presented in five
parts, the book takes the reader on a journey of exploring the power and
potential of dialogue as a means for communication. In particular, this volume
comes at a time when the global society's attention has been directed to
creating more productive conversations in the name of world peace and harmony.
It provides a unique new work on dialogue that brings the reader into a
"dialogue with dialogue", offering an opportunity to understand the
communicative potential of dialogue.
In the book, readers are introduced to five sections: Section I examines the
historical and cultural perspectives of conversation. This examination helps to
create a foundation for a deeper study of the emergent and salient aspects of
conversation as it relates to cultural creativity and human systems design.
Sections II offers the reader an examination of dialogue through different
philosophical and theoretical perspectives as well as methodological ideas
related to conversation. Section III explores different modalities of
conversation and the application of design conversation within and across
various types of design settings and human experiences. Section IV examines the
field of practice as related to use of different forms of conversation. Here
various authors will share their different approaches to conversation and their
reflections and insights in using conversation in a variety of settings.
Concluding the book, Section V reflectively examines the authors' contributions
to the book and provides the reader with a focus on the future.

Forget those funky robot toys that were all the rage in the '80s, XSLT
(Extensible Stylesheet Transformations) is the ultimate transformer. This
powerful language is expert at transforming XML documents into PDF files, HTML
documents, JPEG files--virtually anything your heart desires. As useful as XSLT
is, though, most people have a difficult time learning its many peculiarities.
And now Version 2.0, while elegant and powerful, has only added to the
confusion.
XSLT Cookbook, Second Edition wants to set the record straight. It helps you
sharpen your programming skills and overall understanding of XSLT through a
collection of detailed recipes. Each recipe breaks down a specific problem into
manageable chunks, giving you an easy-to-grasp roadmap for integrating XSLT with
your data and applications. No other XSLT book around employs this practical
problem-solution-discussion format.
In addition to offering code recipes for solving everyday problems with XSLT
1.0, this new edition shows you how to leverage the improvements found in XSLT
2.0, such as how to simplify the string manipulation and date/time conversion
processes. The book also covers XPath 2.0, a critical companion standard, as
well as topics ranging from basic transformations to complex sorting and
linking. It even explores extension functions on a variety of different XSLT
processors and shows ways to combine multiple documents using XSLT. Code
examples add a real-world dimension to each technique.
