Project managers are no longer judged by the technical success of their projects alone. They're also held accountable for their contributions to the company's financial goals. Yet most project managers don't have the business knowledge necessary to make project-based decisions that lead to bottom-line success. In this book, Dennis Cohen and Robert Graham, both former university professors and experienced project management consultants, provide the skills that, until now, could only be gained through a graduate degree and years of hands-on experience.

Cohen and Graham walk project managers through basic business concepts such as value creation, accounting and finance, strategy, and marketing. They connect these concepts to the decisions project managers face every day. And they make it easy to apply the resulting solutions on the job through a unique business systems calculator. Readers can use the online calculator in conjunction with the book to understand how different project variables affect business outcomes, to determine the overall impact of proposed project changes, and to evaluate the economic results of many decisions they make.

Cohen and Graham's principles apply equally to projects in business, non-profit, and government organizations. And each one is illustrated through case studies drawn from a range of industries, including pharmaceuticals, the technology sector, even the winemaking business. Whether the mandate is to get new products to market, improve the infrastructure, or better serve customers and clients, this book teaches project managers how to make day-to-day decisions from an upper-management perspective. And it provides a blueprint for planning and pitching potential projects that demonstrates a higher level of business savvy..

Christiana Morgan was an erotic muse who influenced twentieth-century psychology and inspired its male creators, including C. G. Jung, who saw in her the quintessential "anima woman." Here Claire Douglas offers the first biography of this remarkable woman, exploring how Morgan yearned to express her genius yet sublimated it to spark not only Jung but also her own lover Henry A. Murray, a psychologist who with her help invented the thematic apperception test (TAT). Douglas recounts Morgan's own contributions to the study of emotions and feelings at the Harvard Psychological Clinic and vividly describes the analyst's turbulent life: her girlhood in a prominent Boston family; her difficult marriage; her intellectual awakening in postwar New York; her impassioned analysis with Jung, including her "visions" of a woman's heroic quest, many of which furthered his work on archetypes; her love affairs and experiences with sexual experimentation; her alcoholism; and, finally, her tragic death.

Through in-depth dialogue, this gifted duo exposes their classes to poetry through music, art, dreams, letters, and the natural world. They capture the essence of what poetry is, its power to transform through metaphor, and the joy of seeing anew through one's own "Poet's Eye".

- Voices from the Middle

A poet takes the million and one things the world offers, pays close attention, and using the tools of poetrymusic and image and wordtranslates the world's gifts into poems. This may seem like a luxury few teachers can afford, especially for children who have trouble sitting still, processing language, and mastering basic writing skills. But poetry, Jane McVeigh and Mary Lynn Ellis claim, enables all children to say what they see, think, and feel most deeply, and will help them to become stronger writers in every other genre.

With a Poet's Eye takes teachers beyond the important notion of sharing passions into more specific suggestions for helping elementary students understand what poems can do in their lives. Replete with suggestions of poems to share and activities to promote writing, it is far more than a recipe book. Instead it is a chronicle of two teachers who have grown and developed as writers, of two friends who inherently and irrevocably value poetry. Their commitment to teaching poetry is contagious.

The authors show how young children come to love playing with language as they make poems, how poetry is part of the entire curriculumhistory, mythology, fine arts, music, science, and language artsand how it affects the ways children and adults view the world and their own parts in it. The book is enriched by numerous samples of poems by published poets as well as students, illustrating the efficacy of the teaching practices they describe as well as the pure power of poetry itself.

With a Poet's Eye fills an important need for more information and guidance on teaching poetry. Preservice and inservice language arts teachers will find the authors' stories both inspiring and encouraging.
