Sinopse

In "The Theory of Business Enterprise," Thorstein Veblen presents a critical examination of the capitalist enterprise, analyzing its nature, causes, utility, and inherent tendencies. Veblen employs a distinctively analytical and often satirical literary style, intertwining economic theory with sociological insights to explore the contradictions and conflicts inherent in business enterprises. This work, published amidst the burgeoning industrialism of the early 20th century, remains pivotal for understanding the dynamics of modern capitalism. Veblen'Äôs critiques of profit motives and the role of business practices highlight the tension between technological advancement and social welfare, thus situating the text within the broader debates surrounding the economic theories of his time. Thorstein Veblen, an eminent American economist and social critic, is best known for his contributions to institutional economics. His background in sociology and his keen observations of the early 1900s shaped his critical perspective on capitalism, as he often questioned the traditional economic assumptions prevalent among his contemporaries. Veblen's personal experiences of social privilege and class contrast may also have informed his profound critiques of business enterprises and their societal implications. For anyone interested in the complexities of capitalism and the role of business in society, "The Theory of Business Enterprise" stands as an essential read. Veblen's incisive analysis not only sheds light on the historical context of industrial capitalism but also provokes contemporary readers to reflect on the ongoing challenges within modern business practices. This text is invaluable for students, scholars, and general readers seeking a deeper understanding of economic and social systems.

    Attention is not just receptive, but actively creative of the world we inhabit. How we attend makes all the difference to the world we experience. And nowadays in the West we generally attend in a rather unusual way: governed by the narrowly focussed, target-driven left hemisphere of the brain.  
    Forget everything you thought you knew about the difference between the hemispheres, because it will be largely wrong. It is not what each hemisphere does – they are both involved in everything – but how it does it, that matters. And the prime difference between the brain hemispheres is the manner in which they attend. For reasons of survival we need one hemisphere (in humans and many animals, the left) to pay narrow attention to detail, to grab hold of things we need, while the other, the right, keeps an eye out for everything else. The result is that one hemisphere is good at utilising the world, the other better at understanding it.  
    Absent, present, detached, engaged, alienated, empathic, broad or narrow, sustained or piecemeal, attention has the power to alter whatever it meets. The play of attention can both create and destroy, but it never leaves its object unchanged. How you attend to something – or don’t attend to it – matters a very great deal. This book helps you to see what it is you may have been trained by our very unusual culture not to see.  
    Ways of Attending is expertly read by Mike Fraser. The cover design has been adapted from a Cajal original drawing, and used with permission of Legado Cajal (Madrid).

    Why do even great leadership books leave out the soft skills? 
     
     
     
    Probably because soft skills are not flashy. But soft skills are critical to graceful leadership, and you will find the stories and strategies to hone them, with this book. National Distinguished Principal and leadership advisor Jessica Cabeen understands the soft skills better than most. 
     
     
     
    In Lead with Grace Cabeen shows you how to seamlessly integrate authenticity, empathy, integrity, and the power of vulnerability into your daily work, turning you into someone who is leading young minds with grace and someone who will empower people around you. She helps you nurture relationships, enhance communication, manage boundaries, and provide the grace you need to effectively lean into your work, at school, home, or the office. 
     
     
     
    Great leaders, teachers, and parents are typically good at the hard skills: organization, guidelines, and management. Very few, though, are great at the soft skills. And even fewer really understand how to lead with grace. Now, you can be a great and graceful leader, who understands and leads with soft skills.

    Virology is the scientific study of viruses, their structure, function, and impact on living organisms. Viruses are unique entities, existing at the boundary between life and non-life, requiring host cells to reproduce. This field covers the classification of viruses, their methods of replication, and the various ways they interact with hosts, often causing diseases. Understanding virology is crucial for studying infectious diseases like influenza, HIV, and COVID-19, as well as for developing antiviral therapies and vaccines. This chapter sets the foundation for exploring how viruses shape both health and the environment. 
      
    Definition and Scope of Virology 
    Virology is the branch of science that deals with the study of viruses and virus-like agents, including their structure, classification, genetics, and interaction with host organisms. As microscopic entities that straddle the line between living and non-living, viruses are unique. They are unable to carry out metabolic processes on their own, and must infect a host cell to replicate. This dependence on living organisms is what makes them distinct from other pathogens, such as bacteria and fungi. Despite their simple structure—typically comprising genetic material (DNA or RNA) encased in a protein coat—viruses have a profound impact on all forms of life, from humans to plants and animals.
