Ale Beer and Brewsters in England Women's Work in a Changing World 1300-1600

Women brewed and sold most of the ale drunk in medieval England, but after 1350, men slowly took over the trade. By 1600, most brewers in London -- as well as in many towns and villages -- were male, not female. This award-winning book investigates this transition, asking how, when, and why brewing ceased to be a women's trade and became a trade of men. - Category: Books Reading - New Item: 460843828 - Ale Beer and Brewsters in England Women's Work in a Changing World 1300-1600

Mind-Set Management The Heart of Leadership

You can follow any business guru you want, to be it Peter Drucker or Tom Peters. You can adopt any new management concept, from reengineering to 'empowering people'. But Samuel A. Culbert has one caveat: no matter what managerial 'religion' you choose - and there are many sound ones - before you can lead, manage, or team up effectively, you must comprehend the mind-sets that direct the people with whom you are interacting. In Mind-Set Management, Culbert provides a model for thinking about other people - about their self-interested motives and about their biased views of work events - as he shows managers at all levels how to use psychology instead of manipulation in giving valid, even great, advice. - Books Reading - New - 461513634 - Mind-Set Management The Heart of Leadership
