Can Apples Fly?/Manzanas Voladoras? $8.54 Can Apples Fly? is a beautifully illustrated, bi-lingual Spanish/English children’s book that uses Gunter Pauli’s ZERI* Education model to teach children science. The book includes a teachers and parents guide and hands on activities that help children apply what they have learned.Gunter Pauli’s ZERI* Education model proposes that children, adolescents and young adults learn science in a way that gives them a more profound academic understanding at the same time that it helps develop their emotional intelligence, eco-literacy, and artistic/creative capacities.If children are to learn how to think, design, create, and dream in systems, then they must be exposed to systems thinking at an early age. Critical concepts become part of the child’s long-term memory and the student gains an intuitive grasp of the big picture. Then the learning of the specific tools, concepts, and principles involved become far more appealing. When students start with a story that integrates ethics, economics, biology, and mathematics, they will be drawn to studying those disciplines later on.Pauli’s work in sustainable manufacturing and agricultural became the catalyst for a major educational reform in Colombia. The strife and violence that exists in this country spawned an urgent desire on the part of college students to rebuild their society. The professors and engineering students at University EAFIT in Medellin, Colombia, eagerly embraced an integrated educational approach, including a compulsory course in biology for engineering majors. As the concept spread to other universities, the need to mold the earlier educational tracks in this new direction became apparent; first in a High School in Manizales where ZERI’s coffee and bamboo projects have taken off, and then in elementary schools which asked for a version of this program adapted to their level, comparable to the Garden School projects of the Center for Ecoliteracy. |

Citizen Engineer: A Handbook for Socially Responsible Engineering $29.99 “Engineers create many of the inventions that shape our society, and as such they play a vital role in determining how we live. This new book does an outstanding job of filling in the knowledge and perspective that engineers must have to be good citizens in areas ranging from the environment, to intellectual property, to ensuring the health of the innovation ecosystem that has done so much for modern society. This is exactly the sort of book that engineers and those who work with them should read and discuss over pizza, coffee, or some other suitable, discussion-provoking consumable.”—John L. Hennessy, president, Stanford University“Citizen Engineer is the bible for the new era of socially responsible engineering. It’s an era where, as the authors show, engineers don’t just need to know more, they need to be more. The work is an inspiration, an exhortation, and a practical how-to guide. All engineers concerned with the impact of their work—and that should be all engineers—must read this book.”—Hal Abelson, professor of computer science and engineering, MIT“Code is law. Finally, a map to responsible law making. This accessible and brilliant book should be required of every citizen, and especially, the new citizen lawmakers we call engineers.” —Lawrence Lessig, director, Safra Center for Ethics, Harvard University, and cofounder, Creative CommonsBeing an engineer today means being far more than an engineer. You need to consider not only the design requirements of your projects but the full impact of your work—from an ecological perspective, an intellectual property perspective, a business perspective, and a sociological perspective. And you must coordinate your efforts with many other engineers, sometimes hundreds of them. In short, we’ve entered an age that demands socially responsible engineering on a whole new |

Philanthropy And Social Progress; Seven Essays Delivered Berfore The School Of Applied Ethics At Plymouth Mass., During The Session Of 1892 $19.99 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:IV. PHILANTHROPY —ITS SUCCESS AND FAILURE. By Jaku O. 8. Huntinoton, Order or The Holt Crosi, Westminster, Mi-. From the first founding of the New England colonies up to the beginning of the present century philanthropy in this country was in its merely rudimentary and inchoate condition. No trace is to be found in the annals of that period of many of our most familiar and successful charities. There were no Fresh Air Funds, no St. Andrew’s Coffee- stands, no Day Nurseries, no Newsboys’ Lodging Houses. The principal charitable institution was one in the neighborhood of Boston, for the instruction of Indian lads. It was called “Harvard College.” Family traditions and the anecdotes related by our grandfathers and grandmothers make us familiar with the social life of those early days. Comforts were few and work was hard; many of the very necessaries of to-day were unknown; but the problems of pauperism and mendicancy had not presented themselves. There were plenty of kindly act done for those under one or anotherform of temporary difficulty or need, but they could hardly be dignified with the name of philanthropy. They were nothing but the friendly deeds of neighbors, done as a matter of course, and regarded as entitling the doer to no special credit here or hereafter; in many cases they were mutual benefactions, and the recipient of the favor this year returned it the next. What poor people there were, — old folks who had come into the community late in life and had no one specially related to them, weak-minded and imbecile persons, chronic invalids, — were provided for at the “poor- house,” generally a farm on public land under the care of some good-natured man and his wife who ‘ looked upon their charges simply as unfortunate human beings, not as scientific |

Political Virtue and Shopping $31 Shoppers can express their values as they search for value. Political consumerism is turning the market into a site for politics and ethics, as consumer choices reflect personal attitudes and purchases are informed by ethical or political assessment of business and government practice. In such forms as boycotts, when consumers refuse to buy, or buycotts, where consumers shift their purchases, the ostensibly apolitical marketplace is a site of contestation at the intersection of globalization and individualization. This book opens readers” eyes to a new way of viewing everyday consumer choices and the role of the market in our lives, illuminating the broader theoretical and historical context of concerns about sweatshops, responsible coffee, and ethical and free trade. |

Public Speaking: Building Competency in Stages $94.95 Many public speaking texts take students through a number of chapters of theory and advice before getting to the different types of speeches (e.g., informative, persuasive, special occasion, and small group presentations) that they will give. This innovative new book provides students with the tools they need to speak confidently earlier in the course. Based on her many years of teaching experience, Sherry Devereaux Ferguson outlines an additive approach to public speaking, providing a foundational overview at the beginning of the book. Each subsequent chapter presents the information and skills necessary to fulfill that chapter’s assignment. This organization allows students to master skills incrementally and–in the process–to begin speaking earlier. With a goal of building competency in stages, Ferguson’s sure-footed method leads to more confident and effective speakers. Paying special attention to audience analysis and rhetorical criticism, this distinctive text also offers a strong ethical foundation for the act of public speaking. Features * Assignment-based: Organizes content around speech assignments rather than topics, allowing professors to introduce practical work early in the course * Additive in approach: Allows the student to apply principles learned earlier in the course and also to acquire additional knowledge and skills with each new assignment * Innovative: Incorporates a number of unique features such as the critical communication model, which offers an ethical component; chapters on professional speechwriting and rhetorical analysis; a discussion of PowerPoint presentations; and novel assignments such as a speech of welcome, a coffee shop discussion on ethics, and a team presentation based on theories of multiple intelligence Providing an abundance of examples, tips from professionals, sample student speeches, and visuals, Public Speaking: Building |

Savvy Negotiator: Building Win-Win Relationships $37 Life is a series of negotiations—from who will make the morning coffee to the landing of a multi-million-dollar contract. Each successful negotiation is a victory, but how is success measured? And after a negotiation is completed, what are the implications for the future? In The Savvy Negotiator, William Morrison addresses these questions in the context of two simple, but profound, ideas: (1) We negotiate to set the ground rules for a future relationship; (2) We negotiate to satisfy our needs. In other words, a negotiation is not simply a transaction, but an opportunity to develop a dynamic relationship; whatever the outcome, there will be future effects. If a negotiation is not designed to provide some benefit to the negotiator, there is no reason to engage. Morrison develops these themes against the backdrop of a general evolution in negotiation theory and practice—from an antagonistic WIN/LOSE approach to the more collaborative WIN/WIN approach. Through dozens of engaging examples, from business and other areas (such as home and car buying), he demonstrates the eight key concepts that underlie any negotiation, and offers many practical strategies for conducting successful and satisfying negotiations in virtually any situation. Along the way, he highlights such timely issues as the role of ethics in negotiation and the impact of the Internet on communication dynamics. |
