        Book Description

        Prepare your students for the modern-day workplace by implementing cooperative work groups in the classroom!

        In today’s political climate, where the value and success of the educational process is directly linked to publishable test scores, cooperative learning experiences have been either de-emphasized or ignored. This has created a learning environment diametrically opposite to the requirements of the real work world, leaving our students unprepared for the future challenges they will face.

        Mandel outlines how educators can design meaningful learning experiences that will address standards and utilize modern-day cooperative learning, brain research, and the Internet to effectively develop a student’s ability to thrive in the twenty-first century’s workforce.

        Key features include:

        The cooperative learning techniques put forth in Cooperative Work Groups are designed to emphasize the students’ best learning styles and integrate the newest technology into their work, ensuring their success as individuals working together in groups on long-term projects in today’s work society.

        Book Description

        During the final months of his life, Walt Disney was consumed with the world-wide problems of cities. His development concept at the time of his death on December 15th, 1966 would be his team's conceptual response to the ills of the inner cities and the sprawl of the megalopolis: the "Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow" or, as it became known, EPCOT.

        This beautifully written, instantly engrossing volume focuses on the original concept of EPCOT, which was conceived by Disney as an experimental community of about 20,000 people on the Disney World property in central Florida. With its radial plan, 50-acre town center enclosed by a dome, themed international shopping area, greenbelt, high-density apartments, satellite communities, monorail and underground roads, the original EPCOT plan is reminiscent of post-war Stockholm and the British New Towns, as well as today's transit-oriented development theory.

        Unfortunately, Disney himself did not live long enough to witness the realization of his "model city." However, EPCOT's evolution into projects such as the EPCOT Center and the town of Celebration displays a remarkable commitment by the Disney organization to the original EPCOT philosophy, one which continues to have relevance in the fields of planning and development.

        4 out of 5 stars strange, controlling vision.......2006-07-03

        Mannheim gives an independent look at Walt Disney's last dream. Of a planned urban community that would not have the various ills common in American cities in the 60s. The text goes into many details of how EPCOT was designed. It draws key distinctions between the EPCOT of Walt's vision and the Epcot centre that actually was built in Florida.

        The vision was for an experimental community. What the Disney Corp. later did was set up a planned community, "Celebration", in Florida that evoked Walt's ideas. The text describes how this community could well be seen as culturally stifling by some readers, with many restrictions on its inhabitants.

        The textual portion of the book is only 70% of the pages. The remaining 30% has an extensive bibliography that indicates serious scholarship by Mannheim.

        5 out of 5 stars What a Shame Walt Couldn't Finish..........2004-10-21

        Although a bit technical in places, this is simply the best book on Walt Disney that I have ever read. The author fearlessly draws upon many disciplines to help explain what the genius of Walt Disney was consumed with at the time of his death. Author Steve Mannheim used documents as well as interviews with Disney family and colleagues to paint a fascinating picture of the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow (EPCOT). It is worth the academic book price and I would not be surprised if its collectors' value increases.

        4 out of 5 stars Fascinating read, but can't answer the burning questions..........2004-07-12

        'What if Walt Disney had lived 10 or 20 more years?' and 'What would Walt's EPCOT have been like?' are, to me, two of the most burning "What Ifs" of our time. Steve Mannheim's "Walt Disney and the Quest for Community" is a captivating and fascinating read. Excrutiatingly well-researched, well-written, and incredibly informative, it provides Disney fans and those interested in urban renewal with basic incites into the last great dream of the visionary Disney. But that's as far as it goes. Mannheim treads lightly around the basic questions of what life would have actually been like in the city of EPCOT and, sadly, never provides much more than a teasing glimpse of the "might-have-beens". According to Mannheim, Disney himself was only in the preliminary stages of planning and working out the details of his experimental city when he died and that we will likely never know for sure exactly what it would've been. Perhaps this is true, but seeing as how so much of the early planning/purchasing/contracting/construction/building stages of the proposed Disney World project were already a done deal (or, at least, well under way), it seems quite unlikely that Walt hadn't confided his plans to someone. He was a meticulous planner and not given to flying by the seat of his pants when realizing a vision of this scope. Not to mention the fact that EPCOT was going to be joint venture with several leaders in American Industry who would likely NOT invest in undisclosed ideas that existed only in someone's mind, even Disney's. Also, Mannheim seems to too strongly defend current Disney management in the closing chapter and states that, with the construction and population of Celebration, Florida, that somehow Walt's EPCOT truly lives and that the time has finally come for some slight realizations of his last unfullfilled dreams. Celebration, as any student of Disney's final dream can tell you, is a FAR cry from the EPCOT concept and that current Disney Company philosophies and standards show little resemblance to the high moral standards and belief system he held his company to during his lifetime. The book portrays today's EPCOT Center as a living tribute to the man and his bold vision, but even the most casual recent visitor to that park can see that this simply is not so. Stil, I'd highly recommend this book for anyone who's a Disney fan or, like me, still fascinated after all these years by Walt's ambitious vision, just be warned going in that you'll likely still have the same burning questions after finishing it.

        5 out of 5 stars Researching the Story of Walt Disney's Final Dream.......2003-03-13

        It is clear that it will be the responsibility of historians to accurately reflect the influence that Walt Disney had upon the development of cultural and social structures; beginning during the twentieth century and continuing into a new millennium. Though Walt Disney reflected the social values of his contemporaries in the United States, he also tapped into the essential curiosity that drives all human beings toward exploration and discovery. It is that final phase of Walt Disney's bold and creative exploration that provides the backdrop for this important study.

        In "Walt Disney and the Quest for Community", author Steve Mannheim brings Walt's original idea for EPCOT (Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow) back to the table after almost four decades of neglect. While the creation of Epcot Center at Walt Disney World provides for an interesting day of amusement, the origins of EPCOT (the community) had far greater implications. Those living and working at the EPCOT of Walt Disney's mind would participate in an innovative commercial, social, and political experiment that would be unprecedented in human history. Regrettably, the genius of Walt Disney was revealed to be finite with his passing in December 1966. With Disney's death, the dream of EPCOT as originally conceived was shelved as being unattainable without the necessary provision of Walt Disney's personal authority and command.

        Mannheim's text explores the historical context and influences upon Walt's research and imagination, along with many first hand interviews and accounts from those who worked closely with Disney during this exploratory period in the mid 1960's. The text is expertly researched and provides the most thorough account to date of the vision behind Walt Disney's final dream: E.P.C.O.T.

        5 out of 5 stars The Evolution of Walt's EPCOT Concept.......2003-03-07

        This is a great read about Walt Disney's EPCOT concept. It draws upon original interviews, research in archives, Disney company building experience, and history to tell a fascinating story of Walt's original ideas and how they evolved into later projects like Epcot and Celebration. Most important, it is clear that the author has a solid understanding of Walt Disney the man and uses it to put EPCOT into context. In addition, the author provides many references with which I was unfamiliar. Finally, the book is organized in such a way as to make it very accessible. I think that this book will be an important resource for both scholars and Disney fans in the future.

          Book Description

          * International importance * Task-based, not standard specific * Non industry specific Many quality systems have been established by implementing the requirements of ISO 9000 but they have frequently resulted in task based systems of documentation rather than documented management systems. The 1990s have seen a rise in popularity of techniques such as TQM, Business Process Reengineering, and Process Management thus causing a rethink of ISO 9000 based quality systems. This book shows how you can use systems engineering principles combined with process flow charting techniques to design and develop an integrated quality system that reflects how you run your business. Details are provided on how to produce and manage systems using both paper and electronic based documentation with guidance provided on designing and selecting various software packages.

            Book Description

            This authored book's purpose is to extend and consolidate the evolving literature on multinational work teams by developing a comprehensive theory that incorporates a dynamic, multilevel view of such teams. The model used by the authors focuses on various features of the team's members, their interactions as a team, and the organizational context in which they operate. The concept of integration and differentiation, as well as the notion of equilibrium are used as a general force guiding the specific processes that link various levels of analysis in the model. Providing a framework for scholars and students in the field of organizational studies, this book presents:
            *a comprehensive review of the literature related to multinational and multicultural teams;
            *an overview of the specific model driving our thinking along with an extensive description of the component parts;
            *the individual and group-level elements of teams and their members;
            *the linking processes that connect various elements andstructures;
            *the catalysts that give rise to changes in various elements and structures described in the theory section; and
            *a general integration of the model and an application of this framework for understanding MNT's in diverse cultural contexts.

                  Description:
                  College students (Experiment 1) and non-college adults (Experiment 2) studied a computer-based 31-frame lesson on electronics that offered help-screens containing text (text group) or illustrations (pictorial group), and then took a learning test. Participants also took a battery of 14 cognitive measures related to the verbalizer-visualizer dimension including tests of cognitive style, learning preference, spatial ability, and general achievement. In Experiment 3, college students received either both kinds of help-screens or none. Verbalizers and visualizers did not differ on the learning test, and almost all of the verbalizer-visualizer measures failed to produce significant attribute x treatment interactions (ATIs). There was not strong support for the hypothesis that verbal learners and visual learners should be given different kinds of multimedia instruction.
