A Winter in India: Light Impressions of its Cities, Peoples and Customs
by Archibald SpensA charming travelogue set in the British Raj, A Winter in India presents a fascinating journey across people, customs, languages, cities, monuments, and landscapes. Spens’ thrilling and amusing anecdotes and multifarious experiences — of the rugged Khyber Pass and its tribes, the military history and the Mutiny of 1857 at Kanpur and Lucknow, religion and rituals at Banaras, the grandeur of the "pink" city Jaipur, the seedy opium dens by night and the "Towers of Silence" by day in Mumbai, to a "remembrance of things past" in Agra and Delhi — map the changing contours of British Raj in India. It also depicts the British engagement with India, and offers insights into its emergence as a modern nation. The new Introduction by Peter Robb locates Spens’ complex and wide-ranging explorations of the "Orient" in a historical context. It discusses the ambivalent outlook of the British towards the "East" at the turn of the century, illustrating Spens’ mix of prejudice and admiration that also typified British attitudes to India, and helps explain the character and influence of imperial rule. This book will deeply interest readers of modern Indian history, travel literature, South Asian studies, cultural anthropology, ethnography, as well as the general reader.

Winter Thunder
by Mari SandozIn a blinding blizzard a school bus overturns and a young teacher, her seven pupils, and the driver--a mere boy--are stranded in the open country, miles and miles from the nearest ranch-house. Thus Mari Sandoz introduces a situation that will stretch the limits of human endurance. The exposed little group is armed with no more than the lunches they started out with and only the clothing required for a normal winter's day. As a killer storm takes hold and the mercury plunges below zero they become desperate. How each character faces the terrifying prospect of freezing to death is a story that has become a small classic. And because it is based upon fact--the author's niece experienced much the same ordeal in the paralyzing Midwestern blizzard of January 1949--it has the ring of undisputed truth. Winter Thunder has been named by the Reader's Digest as one of the ten best American short novels.

Wired Citizenship: Youth Learning and Activism in the Middle East (Critical Youth Studies)
by Linda Herrera Rehab SakrWired Citizenship examines the evolving patterns of youth learning and activism in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). In today’s digital age, in which formal schooling often competes with the peer-driven outlets provided by social media, youth all over the globe have forged new models of civic engagement, rewriting the script of what it means to live in a democratic society. As a result, state-society relationships have shifted—never more clearly than in the MENA region, where recent uprisings were spurred by the mobilization of tech-savvy and politicized youth. Combining original research with a thorough exploration of theories of democracy, communications, and critical pedagogy, this edited collection describes how youth are performing citizenship, innovating systems of learning, and re-imagining the practices of activism in the information age. Recent case studies illustrate the context-specific effects of these revolutionary new forms of learning and social engagement in the MENA region.

Wirksames Führen in der Polizei: Transformationale Führung – Chance auf ein modernes Führungsverständnis
by Karl-Heinz Fittkau Phil HeynaDieses Buch stellt ein neues Führungsmodell vor, das den aktuellen Herausforderungen der Polizeiarbeit bestmöglich gerecht werden soll. Die Autoren hinterfragen, ob das derzeit gültige Kooperative Führungssystem (KFS) der Polizei noch zeitgemäß ist. Zudem stellen sie mit dem „Transformationalen Personalführungsmodell“ ein neues Führungskonzept vor und loten dessen Chancen in der Polizei aus.Dieses Führungsmodell muss zwei Aspekten gerecht werden: Einerseits muss es theoretisch fundiert sein und einer empirischen Überprüfung standhalten. Andererseits muss es im besonderen Maße die alltäglichen Probleme der Polizei – wie beispielsweise der potenziell hohe Anteil innerlich Gekündigter und die relativ niedrige Gesundheitsquote – aufgreifen und dafür Lösungsansätze bieten.Die Autoren ermöglichen mit diesem Buch allen am Führungsprozess Beteiligten ein besseres Verständnis für Führung und Raum zur Selbstreflexion. Aus dem InhaltTransformationale Führung und das Full Range of Leadership ModelDie führungsspezifischen Besonderheiten der PolizeiStärken und Schwächen des Kooperativen Führungssystems Studien zur Wirksamkeit transformationaler Führung Die Führungskraft im Transformationales Personalführungsmodell: Handlungsfelder und Verhaltensweisen in der Führungspraxis
