[274]-293) and index.The kingdom of shadows: the infernal underground of George Gissing -- The utopian underground of H.G. Wells -- 'The roar of the underground railway': the making of the Tube in the interwar years -- The kingdom of individuals: safety and security on the Tube in the Second World War.The purpose of this book is to explore the ways in which the London Underground/ Tube was "mapped" by a number of writers from George Gissing to Virginia Woolf. From late Victorian London to the end of the World War II, "underground writing" created an imaginative world beneath the streets of London. The real subterranean railway was therefore re-enacted in number of ways in writing, including as Dantean Underworld or hell, as gateway to a utopian future, as psychological looking- glass or as place of safety and security. The book is a chronological study from the opening of the first underground in the 1860s to its role in WW2. Each chapter explores perspectives on the underground in a number of writers, starting with George Gissing in the 1880s, moving through the work of H. G. Wells and into the writing of the 1920s & 1930s including Virginia Woolf and George Orwell. It concludes with its portrayal in the fiction, poetry and art (including Henry Moore) of WW2. The approach takes a broadly cultural studies perspective, crossing the boundaries of transport history, literature and London/ urban studies. It draws mainly on fiction but also uses poetry, art, journals, postcards and posters to illustrate. It links the actual underground trains, tracks and stations to the metaphorical world of ‘underground writing’ and places the writing in a social/ political context.SubwaysEnglandLondonLiterary collectionsSubway stationsEnglandLondonLiterary collectionsSubwaysEnglandLondonHistorySubway stationsEnglandLondonHistoryLondon (England)Literary collectionsSubwaysSubway stationsSubwaysHistory.Subway stationsHistory.823.00918.05bclWelsh Dave1952-1577448UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910789720303321Underground writing3856052UNINA04288nam 22006133 450 991080940260332120211206080210.01-63742-172-9(MiAaPQ)EBC6819674(Au-PeEL)EBL6819674(CKB)19968675300041(OCoLC)1288052426(OCoLC-P)1288052426(CaSebORM)9781637421727(EXLCZ)991996867530004120211206d2022 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierEmbracing Ambiguity A Workforce Training Plan for the Postpandemic EconomyFirst edition.New York :Business Expert Press,2022.©2021.1 online resource (232 pages)Human resource management and organizational behavior collection,1946-5645Print version: Edmondson, Michael Embracing Ambiguity New York : Business Expert Press,c2022 9781637421710 Part I.

Conclusion.This book fills a tremendous need in today's chaotic marketplace by providing a timely, impactful, and relevant self-directed training program designed to enhance the essential skills employees need to embrace the ambiguity of a postpandemic world. In today's dynamic, hyper-competitive, and ever-changing global economy organizations need to make investing in the personal growth and professional development of its employees a strategic imperative. Doing so requires organizationsto think differently about training its workforce, adapt new strategies of employee engagement, and create a more agile approach to human capital management. Since the new reality is that life in a postpandemic world will look different than it did prior to the global health care crisis employees should be encouraged to engage in a self-directed training program to enhance their future potential. Such a program provides employees with the opportunity to learn at their own pace, in a safe environment, and at a convenient time of day. By shifting the focus of control over to the employee, individuals maintain the self-determination required to identify, develop, and enhance the essential skills necessary to embrace the ambiguity in a postpandemic world. By engaging in self-directed learning employees will increase their self-awareness, further their sense of the world around them, and reflect on the intersection of the two.Human resource management and organizational behavior collection.1946-5645Business planningEmployeesTraining ofLeadershipSelf-managed learningChange.Management.Manager.Business.Leadership.Employee training.Business planning.EmployeesTraining of.Leadership.Self-managed learning.658.4012Edmondson Michael911001MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809402603321Embracing Ambiguity3943090UNINA
