World War I and the peace settlement -- Between the wars -- From World War II to Vietnam.

This volume is composed of transcripts from the secret recordings that Presidents Kennedy and Johnson made of White House meetings and phone conversations about the violent Civil Rights crisis. As fly-on-the-wall history, this book gives an unprecedented grasp of the way the White House affected civil rights history and consequently transformed America.

A Juilliard-trained musician and professor of history explores the fascinating entanglement of classical music with American foreign relations. Dangerous Melodies vividly evokes a time when classical music stood at the center of twentieth-century American life, occupying a prominent place in the nation’s culture and politics. The work of renowned conductors, instrumentalists, and singers—and the activities of orchestras and opera companies—were intertwined with momentous international events, especially the two world wars and the long Cold War. Jonathan Rosenberg exposes the politics behind classical music, showing how German musicians were dismissed or imprisoned during World War I, while numerous German compositions were swept from American auditoriums. He writes of the accompanying impassioned protests, some of which verged on riots, by soldiers and ordinary citizens. Yet, during World War II, those same compositions were no longer part of the political discussion, while Russian music, especially Shostakovich’s, was used as a tool to strengthen the US-Soviet alliance. During the Cold War, accusations of communism were leveled against members of the American music community, while the State Department sent symphony orchestras to play around the world, even performing behind the Iron Curtain. Rich with a stunning array of composers and musicians, including Karl Muck, Arturo Toscanini, Wilhelm Furtwängler, Kirsten Flagstad, Aaron Copland, Van Cliburn, and Leonard Bernstein, Dangerous Melodies delves into the volatile intersection of classical music and world politics to reveal a tumultuous history of twentieth-century America.

The team behind How Google Works returns with management lessons from legendary coach and business executive, Bill Campbell, whose mentoring of some of our most successful modern entrepreneurs has helped create well over a trillion dollars in market value. Bill Campbell played an instrumental role in the growth of several prominent companies, such as Google, Apple, and Intuit, fostering deep relationships with Silicon Valley visionaries, including Steve Jobs, Larry Page, and Eric Schmidt. In addition, this business genius mentored dozens of other important leaders on both coasts, from entrepreneurs to venture capitalists to educators to football players, leaving behind a legacy of growing companies, successful people, respect, friendship, and love after his death in 2016. Leaders at Google for over a decade, Eric Schmidt, Jonathan Rosenberg, and Alan Eagle experienced firsthand how the man fondly known as Coach Bill built trusting relationships, fostered personal growth-even in those at the pinnacle of their careers-inspired courage, and identified and resolved simmering tensions that inevitably arise in fast-moving environments. To honor their mentor and inspire and teach future generations, they have codified his wisdom in this essential guide. Based on interviews with over eighty people who knew and loved Bill Campbell, Trillion Dollar Coach explains the Coach''s principles and illustrates them with stories from the many great people and companies with which he worked. The result is a blueprint for forward-thinking business leaders and managers that will help them create higher performing and faster moving cultures, teams, and companies.

It’s not as if one decides to wake up one day, argue existentialism with livestock, and fly a spaceship to the center of the galaxy to meet, greet–and eat–God. It just sort of happens. At least it does in the world of Goats, the cult-hit webcomic wherein a clutch of brave if baffled barflies (including humans, chickens, and a cyborg goldfish) hit the interdimensional bricks to save the multiverse from certain doom kicked off by a cosmic computer glitch. You can’t make this stuff up–unless you’re one of the monkeys tapping on infinite typewriters who controls all reality. You’ll see. . . .

While we cannot hope to provide definitive answers to these questions, as political scientists we proceed from the assumption that much can be learned through the application of the existing tools of comparative political analysis. Two of the incidents occurred in developing countries (one a parliamentary democracy, the other a democratizing presidential system), and one occurred in a highly developed presidential democracy. All three countries are federal systems, with multiple layers of environmental regulation, although sub-national government seems to be better institutionalized and more effective in the United States. Only one of the incidents occurred within the sovereign territory of a country with an effective federal environmental protection agency and highly transparent policy and judicial processes. None of the three nation-states involved has a strong “green” political party. And the affected communities in all three cases remain dissatisfied with the outcomes to varying degrees. What can we make of these observations? Is there a systematic relationship between them (or any other political, social, cultural or economic factors) and the responses to environmental crises by nation-states? To answer these questions a more systematic analysis of the attendant political processes is needed. Only then can we suggest whether hope or despair is a more appropriate reaction. 1. 2 Global Environmental Issues Since the 1960s, environmental issues have entered the agendas of most nation-states. Pollution of land, air, and water have endangered ecosystems and public health, and called for a governmental response.

Cloud Computing is here to stay. As an economically viable way for businesses of all sizes to distribute computing, this technology shows tremendous promise. But the intense hype surrounding the Cloud is making it next to impossible for responsible IT managers and businessdecision-makers to get a clear understanding of what the Cloud really means, what it might do for them, when it is practical, and what their future with the Cloud looks like. The Cloud at Your Service helps cut through all this fog to help enterprises make these critical decisions based on facts and the authors'' informed unbiased recommendations and predictions. Purchase of the print book comes with an offer of a free PDF, ePub, and Kindle eBook from Manning. Also available is all code from the book.

Aiming to "modernise" the course through the integration of Mathematica, this publication introduces students to its multivariable uses, instructs them on its use as a tool in simplifying calculations, and presents introductions to geometry, mathematical physics, and kinematics. The authors make it clear that Mathematica is not algorithms, but at the same time, they clearly see the ways in which Mathematica can make things cleaner, clearer and simpler. The sets of problems give students an opportunity to practice their newly learned skills, covering simple calculations, simple plots, a review of one-variable calculus using Mathematica for symbolic differentiation, integration and numerical integration, and also cover the practice of incorporating text and headings into a Mathematica notebook. The accompanying diskette contains both Mathematica 2.2 and 3.0 version notebooks, as well as sample examination problems for students, which can be used with any standard multivariable calculus textbook. It is assumed that students will also have access to an introductory primer for Mathematica.

Topological K-theory is one of the most important invariants for noncommutative algebras. Bott periodicity, homotopy invariance, and various long exact sequences distinguish it from algebraic K-theory. This book describes a bivariant K-theory for bornological algebras, which provides a vast generalization of topological K-theory. In addition, it details other approaches to bivariant K-theories for operator algebras. The book studies a number of applications, including K-theory of crossed products, the Baum-Connes assembly map, twisted K-theory with some of its applications, and some variants of the Atiyah-Singer Index Theorem.

As part of the NSF''s EXPRES project, the authors investigated ways to interchange multi-media documents among diverse systems. Their investigations led to an analysis and implementation of multi-media document format translation in general, and of the ODA standard in particular. ODA, Office Document Architecture, is a new ISO and CCITT international standard for representing multi- media documents. The results of their investigations are presented in this book. The book contains overview information about multi-media document architecture and formats, an introduction to ODA, detailed technical specifications on how to use ODA for multi-media document format translation, and the authors'' experiences in implementing and using ODA. The book also contains a complete user manual for the authors'' publically available ODA software: tool kits for manipulating ODA and raster formats, tools for examining ODA documents and sample translators between ODA and several other multi-media formats. This book provides comprehensive information about ODA for a large audience. Planners can get basic information about using ODA for interoperation of multi-media systems. Researchers receive detailed discussions about the advantages and problems of using ODA for document representation, format translation and archival storage. System designers can use the technical descriptions of translators and tools in specifying their own. System builders can easily obtain the software as a basis for prototyping and investigating their own ODA implementations.

Ein Leben ohne Google ist im Internet fast unmöglich. Die Autoren, Google-Insider seit Anfang der 2000er-Jahre, geben daher mit ihrem Buch Einblicke in ein Unternehmen, zu dem fast jeder Internetnutzer einen Bezug haben dürfte - positiv oder negativ. Außerdem zeigen sie, wie unkonventionell es im Unternehmen zugeht und warum Google trotzdem bzw. gerade deshalb so erfolgreich ist. Kritische Töne sind von diesen Autoren kaum zu erwarten, dafür plaudern sie gut gelaunt aus dem Nähkästchen, was für viel Spaß beim Lesen sorgt. Zahlreiche Beispiele bringen Farbe in die graue Theorie, und ein Glossar im Anhang klärt über Begriffe aus der Unternehmenssprache von Google auf, sodass der Leser jederzeit den Überblick behält.

Pohled do nitra světoznámé firmy očima jejích vedoucích představitelů.Kdo jsou „chytří kreativci“? Vaši rodiče se mýlili – nepořádnost je ctnost. Legrace musí být. Vyžeňte ničemy a přilákejte primadony. Představte si nepředstavitelné. Eric Schmidt a Jonathan Rosenberg nastoupili do společnosti Google před více než deseti lety jako zkušení řídící pracovníci technologických firem. Google byl již tehdy proslulý tím, že dělal věci jinak a odrážel vizionářské – a často protichůdné – principy svých zakladatelů Larryho Page a Sergeje Bryna. Oba si uvědomili, že pokud chtějí uspět, musí změnit své chápání toho, jak funguje management a byznys.Jak funguje Google je zábavná a strhující kniha plná lekcí, které se Eric a Jonathan naučili při budování firmy. Vysvětlují, jak technologie přesunula rovnováhu sil od firem ke spotřebitelům a že jediným způsobem, jak v tomto neustále se měnícím prostředí uspět, je vytvářet vysoce kvalitní produkty a přitáhnout nový typ mnohostranných zaměstnanců, kterým přezdívají „chytří kreativci“. Na tématech jako firemní kultura, strategie, talent, rozhodovací proces, komunikace, inovace či řešení problémů autoři ilustrují manažerská pravidla bezpočtem anekdot a historek zevnitř Googlu, z nichž mnohé se na veřejnost dostávají vůbec poprvé.Poučná a vtipná kniha o firmě, která proslula svou „jinakostí“. Vymýšlení technologických novinek a jejich uvádění na trh nemusí být tak nudné, jak se leckomu může zdát. ** * Eric Schmidt nastoupil do společnosti Google v roce 2001 a pomáhal při jejím rozvoji z rozjíždějící se firmičky v Silicon Valley po globálního lídra v oblasti technologií. V letech 2001 až 2011 v ní působil jako výkonný ředitel (CEO), od roku 2011 pak jako výkonný předseda, jenž má na starosti vnější záležitosti jako budování partnerství a širších obchodních vztahů. Vystudovaný elektroinženýr a počítačový odborník před nástupem do Googlu pracoval ve vedoucích pozicích firem Novell a Sun Microsystems. Je také filantrop, jenž se skrze rodinnou nadaci zaměřuje na klimatické změny, včetně podpory studia mořského života, na vzdělání, zejména průkopnický výzkum a technologie v přírodních vědách i technických oborech. Jonathan Rosenberg se poprvé setkal s Larrym Pagem a Sergejem Brynem v roce 2000, o dva roky později přijal (napotřetí) nabídku zaměstnání v jejich firmě. Působil v ní do roku 2011 v pozici viceprezidenta produktového oddělení a dohlížel na návrh, vývoj a rozvoj produktů pro spotřebitele, inzerenty a partnery. Pomáhal vyvíjet postupy přijímání zaměstnanců a zavádět firemní komunikační a marketingové postupy. Dnes působí jako poradce výkonného ředitele společnosti Larryho Page.

Book Two of The Infinite Pendergast Cycle God is dead. Reality isn’t real. And the end of the multiverse is coming! Nobody knew any of this stuff at the beginning–least of all Jon and Phillip, two of the drunker inhabitants of our own particularly ignorant level of existence. Then again, it was these bickering cyber-geeks who flew to the center of the galaxy where they met–and ate–God Himself . . . which may just have kick-started the apocalypse. A new collection of strips from the acclaimed webcomic, Goats: The Corndog Imperative is a unique cosmic comedy of errors, pocket universes, and monkeys with typewriters.

Descubre cómo alcanzar el éxito en tu carrera tomando el modelo de los creativos de Google. Descubre cómo alcanzar el éxito en tu carrera tomando el modelo de los creativos de Google. En una era en que todo se está acelerando, la mejor forma de que las empresas triunfen es atraer a personas creativo-inteligentes y darles un lugar para que prosperen a su medida. El presidente ejecutivo y ex director general Eric Schmidt y el ex vicepresidente senior de productos Jonathan Rosenberg llegaron a Google hace más de una década como probados ejecutivos de tecnología. En ese tiempo, la compañía ya era reconocida por hacer las cosas de forma diferente, lo que reflejaba los principios visionarios -y frecuentemente disidentes- de los fundadores Larry Page y Sergey Brin. Si Eric y Jonathan iban a triunfar, se dieron cuenta, tendrían que reaprender todo lo que creían saber acerca del management y los negocios. Hoy, Google es un ícono global que cotidianamente sobrepasa los límites de la innovación en una variedad de campos. Cómo trabaja Google es un texto introductorio, entretenido y adictivo, que contiene las lecciones que Eric y Jonathan aprendieron mientras ayudaban a la compañía a crecer. Los autores explican cómo la tecnología ha cambiado el balance del poder, desde las compañías hacia los consumidores, y que la única forma de triunfar en este panorama cambiante se encuentra en crear productos superiores y atraer a un nuevo tipo de empleados multifacéticos, que Eric y Jonathan llaman "creativos inteligentes". Abarcando temas como la cultura corporativa, la estrategia, el talento, la toma de decisiones, la comunicación, la innovación y el cómo lidiar con los trastornos en el mercado, los autores ilustran máximas del management ("El consenso requiere disensión", "Exilio a los villanos, pero lucha por las divas", "Piensa en 10X, no en 10 por ciento".) con numerosas anécdotas de empleados que forman parte de la historia de Google; muchas las comparten aquí por primera vez.

Book Three of The Infinite Pendergast Cycle God is dead, reality isn''t real, and the end of the multiverse is coming just a few short years from now. Most everyone is in agreement that this is problematic. Tech-geek barflies Jon and Phillip and their menagerie of mutant sidekicks are the only ones who can challenge the likes of goat demon Toothgnip, corporate demon One Death, and psycho chicken Oliver in order to stop the apocalypse. Which means everyone everywhere is almost certainly screwed. Goats: Showcase Showdown--the third collection of strips from the hit webcomic--continues the pandimensional party.

Does Alaska''s reliance on oil and gas mean that it inevitably will be controlled by corporate energy interests? Or can the state use its vast resource holdings to manage a more symmetrical partnership? The Political Economy of Oil in Alaska investigates the complex relationship Alaska has with its most precious commodity. Offering a new perspective on the challenges of oil-dependent development, the authors explore the dynamic balance between the power of a subnational government--as the owner of resources, possessor of fiscal authority, and regulator of safety and environmental conditions--and the ability of Big Oil to develop energy resources, affect the state economy, and influence state policies. The result is a comprehensive study of an often contentious alliance.
