Healing the Wounds : Overcoming the Trauma of Layoffs and Revitalizing
Downsized Organizations (Jossey-Bass Management)
David M. Noer
 Synopsis
This text addresses the effects of employee layoffs on those who survive
and on the organization itself. It describes the anger, anxiety and guilt
these survivors feel, and then goes on to detail the double- bind in which
these employees and the organization are caught: employees are relied
on to make up for the productivity lost through layoffs and, at the same
time, they are shaken, risk averse, and have weakened commitment to the
organization.

The Oxford Essential Guide to the English Language
John Ayto
 Synopsis
The book aims to be approachable and jargon-free, and makes unambiguous
usage recommendations. The guide contains about 2000 entries of individual
words which create problems because of their: confusability (eg accept
and except); spelling (eg -ize or -ise); controversial usage (eg hopefully);
controversial pronunciation (eg controversy); choice of inflected forms
(eg lighted/lit); disputed collocations (eg different from/to); disputed
grammatical points (eg the media is/are); cliches (eg basically); and
differences between British and American English (eg wash up).Order
