Over the next twelve years, Freeth taught Southern Californians to surf and swim while creating a modern lifeguard service that transformed the beach into a destination for fun, leisure, and excitement. Patrick Moser places Freeth's inspiring life story against the rise of the Southern California beach culture he helped shape and define. Freeth made headlines with his rescue of seven fishermen, an act of heroism that highlighted his innovative lifeguarding techniques. But he also founded California's first surf club and coached both male and female athletes, including Olympic swimming champion and \"father of modern surfing\" Duke Kahanamoku. Often in financial straits, Freeth persevered as a teacher and lifeguarding pioneer--building a legacy that endured long after his death during the 1919 influenza pandemic. A compelling merger of biography and sports history, Surf and Rescue brings to light the forgotten figure whose novel way of seeing the beach sparked the imaginations of people around the world.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49742734524689,"sku":"NGR9780252086526","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49754605093137,"sku":"CIN025208652XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53604280926481,"sku":"CIN025208652XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/025208652X.jpg?v=1767350430"},{"product_id":"waikiki-dreams-book-patrick-moser-9780252088018","title":"Waikiki Dreams","description":"Despite a genuine admiration for Native Hawaiian culture, white Californians of the 1930s ignored authentic relationships with Native Hawaiians. Surfing became a central part of what emerged instead: a beach culture of dressing, dancing, and acting like an Indigenous people whites idealized.    Patrick Moser uses surfing to open a door on the cultural appropriation practiced by Depression-era Californians against a backdrop of settler colonialism and white nationalism. Recreating the imagined leisure and romance of life in Waikīkī attracted people buffeted by economic crisis and dislocation. California-manufactured objects like surfboards became a physical manifestation of a dream that, for all its charms, emerged from a white impulse to both remove and replace Indigenous peoples. Moser traces the rise of beach culture through the lives of trendsetters Tom Blake, John “Doc” Ball, Preston “Pete” Peterson, Mary Ann Hawkins, and Lorrin “Whitey” Harrison while also delving into California’s control over images of Native Hawaiians via movies, tourism, and the surfboard industry.    Compelling and innovative, Waikīkī Dreams opens up the origins of a defining California subculture.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50068244922641,"sku":"NGR9780252088018","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0252088018.jpg?v=1767356376"},{"product_id":"surf-and-rescue-book-patrick-moser-9780252044441","title":"Surf and Rescue","description":"The mixed-race Hawaiian athlete George Freeth brought surfing to Venice, California, in 1907.

Zentrale Autoren sind sich einig: Es ist oftmals eine Veranderung in der strategischen Ausrichtung von Noten  Nun wird aber von eben diesen Autoren darauf hingewiesen, dass etwa 70% aller strategischer Veranderungen - der so genannten Wandelprogramme - scheitern. Doch worin liegt diese eklatante Fehlerquote begrundet? Bei Durchforstung der relevanten Literatur zur Identifikation der schwerwiegendsten Fehler von misslungenen Wandelprogrammen stot der interessierte Leser immer wieder auf Schlagworter wie: mangelnde Partizipation, mangelndes Commitment der Betroffenen, mangelnde Unterstutzung der Fuhrungskrafte und unklare Zieldefinitionen, etc. Mit der vorliegenden Arbeit soll nun die Frage geklart werden, welchen Beitrag Stakeholdermanagement zur optimalen Gestaltung strategischen Wandels leisten kann. Oder anders formuliert: Ist ein Unternehmen durch den Einsatz von Stakeholdermanagement in der Lage die Fehlerquote von 70% zu minimieren. Um diese Frage beantworten zu konnen, werden im ersten Schritt die dabei relevanten Felder der beiden Managementdisziplinen Stakeholdermanagement und Change Management theoretisch dargestellt, um sie in einem zweiten Schritt anhand des change kaleidoscope-Modells von Balogun\/Hailey (2004) integrativ zu verbinden.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52588129878289,"sku":"NLS9783836652186","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783836652186.jpg?v=1761057582"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-patrick-moser.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
