A groundbreaking book about the real race conversations we should be having in the workplace.Have you ever struggled with initiating conversations that build trust in the workplace?Have you had trouble attracting and retaining minority talent?Listen In provides insight that can be applied to every business, throwing the reader into real-life conversations in a fictional, compelling format.Jim, the CEO of a large corporation, prides himself on having an open mind when it comes to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in his personal and work life, until he overhears a conversation between five African Americans at a restaurant one evening. A group of friends are engaging in a deep discussion on their experiences in the workplace, and Jim quickly learns that the depth of DEI goes beyond the data he has grown accustomed to spouting off to his colleagues.LaToya, Shane, Maya, Elijah, and Roshunda all have different backgrounds and personalities, but when they come together at the table for their weekly conversations, they get deep about the race issues they face in the workplace. Such as Black hair and the contradiction that height isn’t always an advantage for Black males. Their opinions and experiences stretch outside the metrics and scorecards that companies use to measure their DEI plans, and spurs a rippling effect in Jim, as he blazes a trail to accelerate progress of the inclusion goals his company has been struggling with for years.

Philosophies of Language and...

Hector Davidson

This book bundle contains the following three titles:
- Derrida: Jacques Derrida, one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century, revolutionized the way we think about language, meaning, and interpretation. His development of the concept of deconstruction has left a profound impact on philosophy, literary theory, and critical thought. To understand Derrida's legacy, it is essential to explore the key elements of his intellectual journey and how his ideas continue to shape contemporary discourse.
- Deconstructionism: Deconstructionism emerged in the late 20th century as a philosophical and literary movement that fundamentally questioned the nature of meaning, language, and interpretation. It is primarily associated with the work of French philosopher Jacques Derrida, who, in the 1960s and 1970s, began to develop ideas that would challenge long-held assumptions in philosophy, literary theory, and critical thought. The movement was a response to structuralism, which sought to uncover the underlying structures that govern language and society. In contrast, deconstruction aimed to show that meaning is inherently unstable and that texts and concepts can never be fully fixed or understood in a singular, unchanging way.
- Michel Foucault: Michel Foucault, a French philosopher, historian, and social theorist, is renowned for his critical exploration of power, knowledge, and social institutions. Born in 1926, Foucault’s work spans a range of disciplines, from philosophy to sociology, psychology, and political science. His intellectual journey reflects a unique approach to understanding human societies, focusing not on abstract metaphysical systems but on the structures that shape human behavior, knowledge, and institutions.

Library of Alexandria and the...

Editors Charles River

In the Middle Ages, the lack of libraries in the West helped contribute to the popular imagination of the ancient Library at Alexandria, and all the myths and legends that have come to be associated with it, but the Library of Alexandria deserves its reputation. Before medieval times, Greek scholars carefully collected and inventoried books and other written materials in the Library of Alexandria, which truly made it a sort of precursor to all modern libraries. In fact, the Library of Alexandria proved to be one of the greatest institutions created in the ancient world because it influenced the minds of countless people in profound ways for centuries. The Library not only inspired the imaginations of artists but gave birth to new research methods, which proved to provide the basis for many considered common-place today. The Library of Alexandria was one of the few libraries in the ancient Greek world, which helped ensure that mathematicians, scientists and other scholars from across the Mediterranean traveled to Egypt to study there, and it was so impressive in its size and influence that it left an indelible mark on the world that still reverberates today.  
	The Library of Pergamon was established slightly later than the Library of Alexandria, during the reign of king Eumenes II, but Eumenes embarked on a program to stock the Library of Pergamon with some of the greatest works of Greek literature in order to rival the Library of Alexandria. For example, a complete set of Demosthenes’ works was among the classics that graced the shelves in the Pergamon collection. This competition seems to have been the basis for the papyrus ban, as the Ptolemies intended to halt academic work in Pergamon, such as editing new editions of the classics. While the Ptolemaic ban on papyrus may have slowed operations at the Library of Pergamon, the introduction of parchment as a medium of writing helped re-stock Pergamon’s Library.
