BMW Design: An Analysis of ‘Joy’ Part 2
No full textThere is a lack of research published on the matter of BMW moving from utilising the strap line ‘The Ultimate Driving Machine’ to ‘Joy is BMW’. This lack of research is surprising given that BMW, a highly prestigious and well-established premium brand, had, prior to 2008, been famously used the former global marketing strategy for over 30 years.
Building on the my article “An Analysis of Joy”, this article examines further contemporary advertising material as well as contemporary published interviews with BMW executives in order to builds on the discussion in part one. It builds on research from the influential brand strategists Wally Olins, as well as Hamish Pringle & Peter Field, to suggest that for BMW, the adoption of ‘Joy’ may also be a reaction to the sustainability agenda and an attempt to help ‘future-proof’ the marque
Moral Good, the Beatific Vision, and God’s Kingdom Writings by Germain Grisez and Peter Ryan, S.J.. Edited by Peter J. Weigel
No full textFor close to half a century, the work of Germain Grisez has been highly influential, and his writings continue to receive considerable attention from philosophers and theologians of diverse viewpoints. His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr. Peter Ryan, S.J., currently the executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These two eminent scholars explore fundamental questions about Christian eschatology, moral theory, the purpose of human life, and the promise of human fulfilment. The authors examine Christian teaching on the final destiny of persons, investigating the meaning of God's kingdom, the hope of the beatific vision, and the centrality of moral goodness and divine grace in one's final end. This work is an ideal source for students, scholars, ministers and lay persons interested in basic questions of Christian theology, the philosophy of religion, ethical theory, and Catholic doctrin

Social Policy, Service Users and Carers: Lived Experiences and Perspectives, edited by Clive Sealey, Joy Fillingham and Peter Unwin
No full textThis book is primarily about providing a greater understanding of the real lived effect that social policies have on service users and carers. While service user and
carer involvement has become more and more prominent in social policy over recent years, it is rarely the case that the perspectives of service users and carers go beyond
consultation to true and meaningful involvement. The key aim of the book is to provide a greater understating of the real lived experience that social policies have
on service users and carers, which hopefully provides the impetus towards changes to make such social policies better for service users and carers. This book is firmly rooted in the belief that experiential knowledge contributes meaningfully to the beneficial development of services and provisio

Tripping Over Feathers: Scenes in the Life of Joy Janaka Wiradjuri Williams: A Narrative of the Stolen Generations
No full textJoy Janaka Wiradjuri Williams was a member of the Aboriginal Stolen Generations. She was taken from her mother at birth and put into a home for white girls. As an effected adult, she spent ten years in court suing the State Government for negligence. Not only did Joy lose the case, but lost two separate appeals. Several years later she was found dead, alone, in her Primbee flat in New South Wales. In this book, Peter Read - an award-winning author and prominent historian of Aboriginal history - tells Joy Williams's story, which exemplifies the detrimental effects of Aboriginal children removed from their mothers at birth. Joy suffered abuse, anger, violence, and mental illness. The book is a new style of biography, written in direct speech and dramatized, often using Joy's own words, with a reverse chronology from death to birth. Tripping over Feathers offers rare historical insight into the institutions, street life, and Indigenous and urban culture from 1942 to 2006. Also included are many of Joy Janaka Wiradjuri Williams's poems
