Most people feel at odds with their organizations at one time or another: Managers with families struggle to balance professional and personal responsibilities in often unsympathetic firms. Members of minority groups strive to make their organizations better for others like themselves without limiting their career paths. Socially or environmentally conscious workers seek to act on their values at firms more concerned with profits than global poverty or pollution.Yet many firms leave little room for differences, and people who don't «fit in» conclude that their only option is to assimilate or leave. In Rocking the Boat, Debra E. Meyerson presents an inspiring alternative: building diverse, adaptive, family-friendly, and socially responsible workplaces not through revolution but through walking the tightrope between conformity and rebellion.Meyerson shows how these «tempered radicals» work toward transformational ends through incremental means—sticking to their values, asserting their agendas, and provoking change without jeopardizing their hard-won careers. Whether it's by resisting quietly, leveraging «small wins,» or mobilizing others in legitimate but powerful ways, tempered radicals turn threats to their identities into opportunities to make a positive difference in their companies—and in the world.Timely and provocative, Rocking the Boat puts self-realization and change within everyone's reach–whether your difference stems from race, gender, sexual orientation, values, beliefs, or social perspective.

"Rocking the Wall" ist dem legendaren Bruce-Springsteen-Konzert gewidmet, das in Ost-Berlin am 19. Juli 1988 stattfand, das die Mauer erschutterte und die Welt veranderte. Erik Kirschbaum sprach mit vielen Fans und mit Veranstaltern in Ost und West, darunter Jon Landau, Springsteens Manager und Freund. Er schildert Szenen hinter den Kulissen und Erinnerungen von Leuten, die dabei waren, er hat Presse und Fernseh-Aufzeichnungen ausgewertet; sogar die Berichte der Stasi, die das Konzert im Auge hatte, standen ihm zur Verfugung. Das Buch begleitet den Leser auf eine unvergessliche Reise mit Springsteen durch die geteilte Stadt bis zum Open-Air-Gelande in Berlin-Wei?ensee, wo der Boss, auf der Buhne, eine mutige Rede gegen die Mauer hielt, wahrend ihm eine alle Rekorde brechende Zuschauermenge von mehr als 300.000 begeisterten jungen Ostdeutschen zujubelte.

What does it mean that the Psalms are the prayer book of the people? Rocking Like It's All Intermezzo: Twenty-first-Century Psalm Responsorials is one such person's prayer book. Using familiar refrains as their starting points, the poems attempt a balance between how the psalmist understood God's faithfulness and how the poet's lived experience requires revised understanding in some places, renewed commitment in others. In addition to an insightful foreword by acclaimed poet Sofia M. Starnes, these sixty-four poems tell of an intimate, honest reorientation to God's promises.
