	Seminal work - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A seminal work is a work from which other works grow.
		The term usually refers to an intellectual or artistic achievement whose ideas and techniques have been adopted or responded to in later works by other people, either in the same field or in the general culture.
		Seminal work should not be confused with magnum opus, which refers to the greatest work of a single individual, and not necessarily to that which has inspired the most work by others.

		Their work promoted the expansion of the social work role in the hospital and the inclusion of the social perspective as a regular part of the medical treatment plan, for instance they began what we know today as "rounds".
		Her work and expertise became recognized beyond the department and the hospital and was implemented in the broader field of medical social work.
		Clark's expertise was in outpatient psychiatric social work, and she led the department during an era of sweeping social reform.

	Work (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		To establish whether a work is a work of art, the concepts of artistic merit and literary merit are regularly invoked.
		Replicas were made by pupils in practice of their craft, by masters for diffusing their works, and, finally, by third parties in the pursuit of gain.
		Hans Makart was deeply interested in the interaction of all the visual arts and thus in the implementation of the idea of the "total work of art" which dominated discussions on the arts in the 19th century.

		His work was seminal research in the study of information processing.
		Lillian Gilbreth worked with Allan H. Mogensen and helped him develop his "Work Simplification" conferences covering the techniques and a five-step process designed to put the techniques into the hands of employees.
		She brought to the work a natural affinity for the humanities, a Ph.D. in industrial psychology, and the rich management experience of a working mother of twelve.

		He found what topics can better be covered by worker and work teams than bosses, and what managerial rather than technological innovation is their precondition, i.e., the managers’ trust of subordinates’ capability to be creative, professional, serious, and reliable.
		The discussion of work teams in Germany as an alternative to the tayloristic division of labor and functional specialization can be traced back to the beginnings of the 20th century.
		The collective (team) form of work is historically inherent to every nation, and Russia has one of the richest experiences in the development to collective forms of work.

	PROFILE / GAIL MARTIN / UCSF scientist opened door / Research has been built on her seminal work 20 years ago
		Seven years later, Martin was working in her own lab at UCSF when she made another key discovery in stem cell research -- isolating for the first time the precious precursor cells from mice embryos.
		Her early work on stem cells was funded by the American Cancer Society and the March of Dimes -- both of which are dedicated to medical conditions that current stem cell research is not likely to address.
		Meanwhile, the work she does now has implications for birth defects, but it is funded by the National Institutes of Health.

	Seminal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		A seminal work [semen = seed (from the Latin seminalis)] is a work from which other works come--it is an engendering work which is so important in its ideas or technique that other people take these up and create new works too.
		A seminal work is related to, but should not be confused with a Magnum opus, which can also refer to the greatest work of a single individual (whether seminal or not).
		Picasso's Demoiselles d'Avignon may be described truly as a seminal work--for it is considered the beginning point of Cubism.

	The Doors of Perception
		Working unfortunately upon too few subjects within too narrow a range of circumstances, psychologists have observed and catalogued some of the drug's more striking effects.
		Very often they set the tone of the whole work of art, they state the key in which the theme is being rendered, they express the mood, the temperament, the attitude to life of the artist.
		The magic began to work again only when we turned down into a new suburb and were gliding between two rows of houses.

		On the one hand, they are expecting more from their work experience, including that it will nurture personal development and self actualisation.
		On the other hand, they are finding the capitalist, corporate model of work to be lacking in a meaningful higher purpose, or to put it another way, the modern workplace and economy is devoid of a sense of soul.
		Frankl's notions of work as ideally being an expression of a life task are not dissimilar to iconic industrial psychologist, Abraham Maslow's, conclusions about self-actualising individuals.

		The work is considered by historians to be a seminal work in the history of paleontology.
		The Warburton work is an historical novel based on the ill-fated "Darien Scheme," the attempts of banker William Paterson to establish a Scottish colony in 1698 on the Isthmus of Panama.
		The work is of importance to historians since the section on minerals and fossils is the first publication of Girolamo Fracastoro's (1483-1553) idea prosed in 1517 that fossils originated from once living animals with their formation being caused by the changing positions of lands and seas.

		Brancusi's early works were influenced by Rodin and by the impressionists, but after 1908 he rapidly evolved his characteristic personal style.
		With the basic intention of laying bare the underlying nature of an image, he abandoned the use of live models and adapted a simplified, streamlined style.
		In describing the evolution of his art, he said: "One arrives at simplicity … as one approaches the real meaning of things." Two simple organic shapes predominate in his work: the egg and the elongated cylinder.

		My work with McClellan concludes that defensive medicine is an important problem in the U.S. health care system, and that limited reductions in liability can reduce the social costs of defensive practices.
		Recent work confirms that defensive practices exist in nonelderly populations.

	The Kantian Project in Modern International Legal Theory
		This development can be attributed to the impressive and avowed Kantianism expressed by John Rawls in his seminal work on the political foundations of the state.
		However, in his work on international law, Rawls proposes that non-liberal states are permissible in an international legal order.
		He has diluted his views in more recent work so that a number of comprehensive world views - some of which are not avowedly liberal - are permissible in a particular state and between particular states.

	burnout
		From the beginning of our work together, back in the Before You Embark section, we have noted that all teachers face a higher burnout risk than people in other professions.
		My definition is that meaning burnout occurs when the meaning of the work has been lost and the existential purpose for the work is gone.
		Their model may help you to assess how far down the road toward burnout you might be at this point in time, The stages can be a useful tool for you to reality test how you are doing and also a potential wake-up call to action.

	The Seminal Eighties
		Zahn's work, incidentally, became the basis of one of the earliest attempts to establish a way of classifying folk songs, the system of Oswald Koller, basically a kind of alphabetical index that was quickly supplanted by Ilmari Krohn's more musical one, which in turn led eventually to the work of Bartók and others.
		It is so often referred to as a seminal work in ethnomusicology principally, it seems to me, because it uses a procedure that then began to be followed by Stumpf himself for various cultures, and eventually by Hornbostel and Abraham, and others.
		It is because of their concern with general principles of research, with the basic assumptions that underlie it, and with method, that they deserve to be celebrated as representatives of the seminal 1880s, a period in which scholarship sowed the seeds of much that has taken place in the century that followed.

	Wiley::Maslow on Management
		However, while perhaps most famous for his work in the area of humanistic psychology, his legacy of work encompasses much more, extending into the realms of business and management.
		Having explored and studied the relationship between human behavior and the work situation, Maslow translated the science of the mind into the art of management=an important interpretation first published in the far-sighted treatise, Eupsychian Management, and whose impact continues to be felt today.
		Now, this seminal work has been updated, primed to introduce new readers to-and reacquaint old admirers with-what some have called the renowned psychologist's best book.

		We wish to create a place in the world for good writers, whose work is ignored by the conglomerate publishers, but whose voices deserve to be heard, particularly writers whose work has been marginalized.
		Our goal is to allow good work to swim to the surface and then to share that work so that literature can create a common language space for global, community and individual transformation.
