Many organizations worldwide are currently exploring the potential gains to be made from working with virtual teams. Although many different things are meant by use of  'virtual' (and indeed by 'teams'), usually it denotes groups of people with common purpose and goals working in different locations and often different time zones; they will be interconnected via a variety of telecommunications networks, perhaps including the Internet and intranet, video conferencing, shared white boards, as well as telephone, mail and e-mail. For organizations implementing such virtual teams there is a great need for guidance, in terms of the organizational structure and support which needs to be put in place.  This book offers a practical guide to developing virtual teams, providing both an overview of what is involved and also a clear simple framework around which organizations can build their own implementation process. Although the different support technologies are discussed (at a generic level), the thrust of the book is on the organizational and human factors issues which must be addressed to make virtual teams a success. It contains detailed case studies to show how virtual teams work and where they can go wrong.

<p>This college text introduces expository writing across the academic curriculum, illustrating the prose with student and faculty models. It applies the basic principles of rhetoric to academic writing-in the arts, sciences, and technological fields-to build an interdisciplinary bridge between academic islands so often isolated. No longer is writing of concern just to English teachers; now all faculty-in zoology, sociology, engineering-concern themselves with student writing. Hence, this text uses writing from various academic fields, not only from students but also from faculty, from the best academic journals in these areas. The student writing samples illustrate both problems and successes; the author has reinforced these successes with prose from professionals in the students' fields. A student of zoology, for example, will be able to see not only how his peers write an essay but also how the scholars handle similar material. As a method of teaching writing, imitation has a long history, and perhaps today's students can learn as Benjamin Franklin learned, by immersing themselves in the best.</p>

The true story of one man's journey seeking truth, Truth Will Set You Free outlines a lifelong spiritual quest. Nearly every faith tradition claims to be the one true religion. How can that dissention be reconciled? John R. Wilson, adopted as a toddler by middle-aged Southern Baptists, sought to answer that question. After decades of study and insight, Wilson reached a credible conclusion: Truth is not confined to any one religion, but embraces them all.
