"Diversity Management in Practice consists of short summaries (300-400 words) of books, academic articles and, in a few cases, movies and documentary films which provide a cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary understanding of issues surrounding diversity and its management in society. Such disciplines as anthropology, economics, psychology, sociology, political science, art history, economic history, architecture, law, urban and regional studies, geography, and linguistics are represented... The book is made for skimming and scanning, locating subjects and issues, all of which cannot possibly be on everyone's radar. Four comprehensive indexes (Subject, Main Discipline, Geographic Area, and Diversity-type) together with alphabetical ordering of authors allow easy navigation through the variety of reviews." --Dialogin "The editors present an annotated bibliography that arose out of the work of the collaborative research network 'Sustainable Development in a Diverse World, ' which integrates resources and expertise from such disciplines as anthropology, psychology, economics, sociology, political science, art history, economic history, architecture, law, urban and regional studies, geography, and linguistics on diversity/sustainability issues in Europe. Some 172 entries of between 300 to 400 words cover academic books and articles, journalistic and conference reports, novels, and fictional and documentary films and videos. Each review specifies the subject, the main discipline, the location where the study was conducted, the type of diversity at issue, and up to five key words, details that were then used to construct the four indexes at the end of the text." --Reference & Research Book News "Diversity Management in Practice" consists of short summaries (300 400 words) of books, academic articles and, in a few cases, movies and documentary films which provide a cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary understanding of issues surrounding diversity and its management in society.

Reseña del editor:

This volume is a vital tool for anybody conducting primary research in the implementation of diversity regulation, and an inspiration for practitioners in the field of diversity management and policy implementation. The publication will feature Subject, Discipline, Geographic and Diversity indexes, which will enable searches to be conducted across cultural perspectives on diversity and its management. It provides a bridge across the linguistic and intellectual traditions that currently sets scholars and practitioners in the field of diversity management apart from each other. The bibliography will be drawn from each of the partners active within the NoE, representing Europe and key nations such as India, where diversity is embraced as the essence of society and development. Abstracts will be provided in English of key literature, and the bibliography will support cross-cultural understanding of issues surrounding diversity and its management in society. Articles and books annotated in the publication will comprise both classical works and contemporary perspectives, allowing better communication across linguistic barriers on issues that affect chiefly the management of organisations and cities in Europe.
