    Abstract: "It is 1969 and Joni Mitchell is on television, standing empty-handed in the middle of a circular stage that is adorned with psychedelic colors. She is wearing a long, hunter-green dress, surrounded by an audience sitting cross-legged on the floor. She waits for television host Dick Cavett to introduce her next performance. The show is filming on the day after the 1969 Woodstock music festival, an event that Mitchell was initially scheduled to attend but from which she was held back by her management to ensure she could perform on The Dick Cavett Show the next day. The host introduces Mitchell and jokes with her about singing a capella, wondering aloud if someone stole her guitar. The singer laughs politely in response, denies any theft, and then proceeds to her performance, explaining to the audience that she will be singing a "song for America" that she wrote "as a Canadian living in this country." With her hands clasped behind her back, she performs "The Fiddle and the Drum" with no accompaniment, channeling the folk performance tradition on which the song is based. This song about military participation is a rare political statement from Mitchell who, unlike her peers Bob Dylan and Buffy Sainte-Marie, had only released this one "protest song" by 1969. But the song's message was not a particularly risky proclamation. Her anti-war narrative echoed the opinions of the young Cavett Show audience that night, aligning with an established trend of resistance against the war in Vietnam. Similar to the way that Mitchell's song "Woodstock" would eventually capture the spirit of an event she did not attend, "The Fiddle and the Drum" characterizes a popular anti-war sentiment in the public consciousness of the late 1960s"--

    Abstract: How did emerging singer-songwriters in the 1960s and 1970s develop traditions for musical self-expression? This book takes a new listen to the music of beloved songwriters Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Paul Simon, and Cat Stevens to show how they used malleable metric settings as an important part of their self-expressive toolkit in performance

    Abstract: "A virtual team is a group of individuals who work across time, space and organizational boundaries with links strengthened by webs of communication technology. At best, virtual teams allow companies to procure the best talent without geographical restrictions. Written as a series of bulleted tips drawn from client experiences and best practices, this book presents practical tips and tools for leaders who struggle to find ways to engage and motivate their geographically-dispersed project team members. Designed to be read section by section in any order, the text addresses such problems as communication deficiencies, poor leadership and management, and incompetent team members"--
    Abstract: "Foreword Virtual teams are ubiquitous. Years ago, they were confined to specialist groups, but now most meetings have at least one remote attendee. Virtual teams are here to stay. Strong global trends are driving the growth in virtual teams. These include outsourcing, increasing and more global project work, home working and telecommuting, spending cuts, and higher gasoline prices. In recent years, even volcanic ash clouds and the threat of epidemics have played their part. Organizations are focusing on the need to reduce the costs of travel, as well as the time taken traveling, carbon emissions produced, and hassle involved. At the same time, technological advances make it easier and cheaper to collaborate virtually than ever before. Now companies can have teams working around the clock while tapping into a range of global perspectives from across the organization. Unfortunately though, virtual teams often struggle. Virtual team leaders too often believe that they can apply whatever works for them in the face-to-face world to their virtual teams, and fail to understand what is really needed to make virtual teams work. As a result, team members can become disengaged and frustrated, often silently tuning out. Organizations are only now beginning to realize that specialized skills and competencies are needed to lead effective virtual teams, on top of providing the right combination of virtual"--
