small shaving glass he brought with him. As he is shaving, he is startled by Dracula, who bids him good morning. Harker is surprised because there was no reflection of Dracula in the glass, and so Harker did not see his approach. As a result, Harker cuts himself with his razor. Seeing the trickle of blood on Harker's chin, Dracula's eyes "blazed with a sort of demoniac fury, and he suddenly made a grab at my throat." Dracula's hand touches the crucifix around Harker's neck, and his fury instantly passes

When the merchant saw that the genius was determined to cut off his head, he said: "One word more, I entreat you. Grant me a little delay; just a short time to go home and bid my wife and children farewell, and to make my will. When I have done this I will come back here, and you shall kill me."

Treating employees benevolently shouldn’t be viewed as an added cost that cuts into profits, but as a powerful energizer that can grow the enterprise into something far greater than one leader could envision. With pride in their work, Starbucks people are less likely to leave. Our turnover rate is less than half the industry

Organizations sociologist and designer of corporate organizational structures, our topic takes shape. Indeed, top management of the company asks and demands, the strict application of a battle plan in the aim to reach a long-term strategy, however the short-term requirements and the nearness, sometimes can make this strategy, far and unreachable. Moreover, the more the strategy is incomprehensible, the less the involvement of the actors in this global process is strong; from then on a questioning of the

1845, two Royal Navy ships and 129 men led by Sir John Franklin set sail from London on an elborately prepared expedition to conquer the elusive Arctic route, and were never heard from again. Poignant clues suggest the expedition became icebound, short on food, and that the stronger members resorted to murder and cannibalism. Or did their own provisions poison them? Now, 150 years later, a team of historians and forensic scientists journey to a bleak wilderness on a quest for the truth behind the

The barrier covers one-third of the US’s entire southern frontier with Mexico. The fence cuts through towns and divides the desert. In parts it is a fence about 5 metres high, built of a strong steel mesh and painted the same colour as the surrounding earth. In some places it is topped by barbed wire; in others it is a solid steel wall. Parts

the categories that people use in their everyday lives rather than impose them. This entails, in turn, identifying the political culture within which people function and that shapes how they interpret and give meaning to the world around them. In short, political thinking is contextual, and the most directly relevant context is the political culture. As an empirical matter, focus groups and in-depth interviews replace experiments and surveys. Conover and Searing discuss how they themselves are employing
