NEW PAPERBACK VERSION OF THE POPULAR HARDBACK! The Dictionary of Dangerous Ideas is a collection of the most challenging concepts facing business leaders at the dawn of the 21st century. At the intersection of emerging technologies, and new patterns of human behaviour, the ideas in the Dictionary have been chosen for both their potential to transform the way companies operate, and to inspire new forms of thinking. Mike pairs an explanation for how modern technology is being used in modern business technique, and then leaves us with a question (paired with an image). For example, on page 125 he talks about data profiling and data mining, then leaves us with the question: 'In the near future, will privacy be a luxury for just the rich and paranoid?' Although it is about business and marketing strategy, the book definitely has a personal element; this is evident in the tone of the writing, and the consistency of the graphics and images shown. All the photos in the book were taken by Mike with his beaten but beloved Leica.

The Dictionary of Dangerous Ideas

Describes how the author quit his job after the unexpected death of his father to travel throughout the country and bowl rounds in each of the fifty states, an endeavor that sparked sympathy in others and brought the author into the realms of people from all walks of life. 25,000 first printing.

Bowling Across America

Reflections from the defeated Reich's viewpoint are rare to say the least. History is of course the propaganda of the victors. There is little interest in the truth when triumphalism, rape and pillage are dominant. Is there a more loathsome reason behind what celebrated American historian Harry E. Barnes, described as Britain's Iron Curtain of Discreet Silence? Shame and disgrace are terrible burdens. George F. Kennan, ambassador to the USSR and Yugoslavia adds, "The Red Army swept the native population clean in a manner that has no parallel since the Asiatic hordes." If the cataclysmic fate that befell the defeated Reich is mentioned it is accompanied by one-sided victors' spin. A frontline war correspondent described the ethnic genocide of 15 million Germans, the rape of millions of girls and women as 'the worst excesses since Genghis Khan.' Such were the horrors inflicted by the Allies on the unfortunate survivors of the Reich their story needs to be more widely known. Modern Europe deserves better than the propaganda of the victors.

The Adolf Hitler and Reich Odyssey ~ Catastrophe

Witness to History: Catastrophe Volume Three

The Reich catapulted otherwise quite ordinary people into international acclaim. HEROES OF THE REICH is neither a military nor political history of the men and woman of many nations who gave their loyalty and in many cases their lives to the Fuhrer's Reich. HEROES OF THE REICH reveals the true accounts of political and military icons, fabulous artistes, great musicians, the ordinary people who withstood to their deaths the overwhelming onslaught of the combined forces of the British, Soviet and American Empires. HEROES OF THE REICH marks 82 years since the German leader, Adolph Hitler was elected, 70 years since the end of the Reich. Hitler's triumph was that he alone laid claim to be the only true democrat in the War of the Dictators. Soviet leader Joe Stalin, a Georgian, was never elected. Nor was half-American British Premier Winston Churchill. Whilst U.S. President Roosevelt was narrowly elected, it was afterwards conceded that it was his empty promise not to involve the American people in another European war that achieved his 'victory.'

To Mark 70-Years Since the Second World War's End, Heroes of the Reich Avoids Victors Propaganda. Heroes Is a Refreshing, Often Inspiring, Selection of Over 30 Stories of Ordinary Germans Propelled to Greatness by Their Loyalty to the Reich.

Heroes of the Reich Volume One

Imagine Whitehall renamed Adolf Hitler Esplanade, The Arno Breker Gallery of European Art, Hyde Park known as Lawrence of Arabia Park. In Norway monuments erected to Vidkun Quisling and Knut Hamsun. In Romania; squares named in honor of Corneliu Codreanu. Throughout the Irish Republic and the U.S. streets and squares honoring the name of William Joyce. Military defeat is always followed by the character assassination of the fallen foe. Had the Reich triumphed, or a peaceful solution been found in 1940, many figures vilified today might be applauded and honoured in mainstream media, television documentaries, and schoolbooks. Heroes Hang when Traitors Triumph is a reminder that the victors narrative can and will turn saints into sinners at the stroke of a palace journalist's pen. Here then are the true stories of great Europeans whose feats set examples of rare courage and fortitude, yet, whose reputations have since been defiled by victors propaganda. Very few people hate Adolf Hitler as they simply do not know the man. What they do know and hate is a mythical figure that artful propaganda has made him and other fallen foe out to be. The media's fantasy Adolf Hitler simply did not exist. Heroes Hang when Traitors Triumph will perhaps give a different perspective of former much vilified foes.

Heroes Hang When Traitors Triumph

Life in Hitler's Reich was better than anywhere else on earth. For nearly nine years ordinary workers enjoyed a lifestyle equalled only by the rich and famous. From 1933 to 1945 Hitler's Germany led the world in fashion, medicine, cinema, superior lifestyle, transport, facilities, public services, cutting edge science, healthcare and education. Germans were the happiest people on earth. Their standard of living and quality of lifestyle has never been equalled. The claim that this was achieved through investment in militarism is absurd. If this was true the US would be the richest nation on earth. The US is impoverished and its infrastructure is collapsing. The Reich's prosperity sets an example that damns the hideous failures of the victors' crooked system. Media consider these years a taboo topic because they don't want you to know in case you draw the right conclusions. Might not right wins wars.

Microsoft recognizes key individuals who contribute significantly to the community of technologists through the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) award. These individuals are active authors, speakers, bloggers, and innovators. They are also skilled network engineers, developers, trainers, designers, and architects. In the SharePoint community, these MVPs are recognized for their expertise in either Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) or Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS). This book represents the efforts of 16 MVPs in the SharePoint community to present core areas of SharePoint 2007 products and technologies seasoned with significant field experience. The idea behind the book is to lower the learning curve for the reader, while providing the insight necessary to avoid common missteps. This book is an extension of the work the authors have done in their own blogs, books, and presentations. This book is for the community of SharePoint professionals. That means that architects, designers, developers, administrators, and engineers all will find something useful in its pages. As a reader, you will want to focus on chapters that appeal to your areas of expertise directly. Some of the chapters, for example, assume a strong programming background, whereas others are centered on administration or maintenance. All readers should have some prior experience with SharePoint 2007 products and technologies to get the most out of this book, although the book does include an introductory chapter for those who are just getting started. The authors generally assume a working knowledge of SharePoint in an effort to focus the discussion on implementation and best practices. This book covers SharePoint 2007 products and technologies. Specifically, you will find topics relating to both WSS and MOSS. The topics were selected by SharePoint MVP and Editor Scot Hiller based on the authors’ capabilities to represent a cross-section of the most important areas within SharePoint. Although the chapters have been arranged in a logical order, they are intended to stand alone as independent articles. Specifically, here's what the book covers: Introduction to SharePoint by Mike Walsh: an overview of SharePoint Configuring Forms Based Authentication by Stacy Draper: different approaches to FBA, along with their strengths and weaknesses including some custom solutions to problems such as user and role management. Understanding SharePoint Administration by Todd Klindt: the basics (such as backup and recovery), more advanced topics (such as command-line utilities and tips), and techniques for managing site templates. Developing Publishing Sites the Smart and Structured Way by Andrew Connell: an alternative technique for developing Publishing sites within MOSS discusses development with the SharePoint Designer (SPD), but then challenges the conventional thinking with a new structured approach. Readers will learn new ways to ease the management and maintenance of Publishing sites. Using SharePoint Designer 2007 by Dustin Miller: This often-maligned tool can be a powerful part of your SharePoint toolkit. Customizing and Branding the SharePoint 2007 Interface by Shane Perran and Heather Solomon: One of the first tasks in any SharePoint project is branding the use interface. The reader will learn all of the different ways to customize the look and feel of SharePoint using master pages, style sheets, and graphics. Understanding Web Parts by Jan Tielens: walks the reader through the creation and deployment of Web Parts. Readers should have a strong C# programming background. Creating Workflows in WSS by Robert Bogue: Readers will learn how to create custom workflows and forms for deployment in WSS including many tips and tricks from actual field experience. Readers should have a strong C# programming background. Creating Workflow in SharePoint Server 2007 by Joris Poelmans: The big difference between WSS and MOSS workflows is the ability to use InfoPath forms. This has extensive coverage of InfoPath forms and how to use them with MOSS workflows. Using the Business Data Catalog by Nick Swan: The Business Data Catalog (BDC) is used to allow MOSS to access line-of-business databases. Includes tips to make the development process easier. Readers should be familiar with XML. Using Excel Services by Luis Du Solier Grinda: Excel Services is used to allow MOSS to present spreadsheet data to end users through a browser. This technology is a foundational element in the development of dashboards in the SharePoint Report Center. Securing SharePoint Communication by Adam Buenz: Readers will learn to implement Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), Kerberos security, and how to use the Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server. Using Information Rights Management by Jason Medero: setting up IRM and using it with SharePoint libraries to restrict document functionality (such as printing and attaching) so sensitive information does not leave an organization. Upgrading from SPS 2003 to MOSS 2007 Using the Gradual Method by Shane Young: One of the biggest trends in the SharePoint community is upgrading from SharePoint Portal Server 2003 (SPS 2003) to MOSS. This examines all of the different upgrade approaches, and then walks the reader through the gradual method for upgrading. Contains a wealth of field experience learned from performing many upgrades. This book is also available as part of the 4-book SharePoint 2007 Wrox Box (ISBN: 0470431946) with these 4 books: Professional SharePoint 2007 Development (ISBN: 0470117567) Real World SharePoint 2007 (ISBN: 0470168358) Professional Microsoft SharePoint 2007 Design (ISBN: 047028580X) Professional SharePoint 2007 Web Content Management Development (ISBN: 0470224754)

Nursing Rituals, Research and Rational Actions

The greatest threat we face is not robots replacing us, but our reluctance to reinvent ourselves. We live in an age of wonder: cars that drive themselves, devices that anticipate our needs, and robots capable of everything from advanced manufacturing to complex surgery. Automation, algorithms, and AI will transform every facet of daily life, but are we prepared for what that means for the future of work, leadership, and creativity? While many already fear that robots will take their jobs, rapid advancements in machine intelligence raise a far more important question: what is the true potential of human intelligence in the twenty-first century? Futurist and global nomad Mike Walsh has synthesized years of research and interviews with some of the world's top business leaders, AI pioneers and data scientists into a set of 10 principles about what it takes to succeed in the algorithmic age. Across disparate cultures, industries, and timescales, Walsh brings to life the history and future of ideas like probabilistic thinking, machine learning, digital ethics, disruptive innovation, and de-centralized organizations as a foundation for a radically new approach to making decisions, solving problems, and leading people. The Algorithmic Leader offers a hopeful and practical guide for leaders of all types, and organizations of all sizes, to survive and thrive in this era of unprecedented change. By applying Walsh's 10 core principles, readers will be able to design their own journey of personal transformation, harness the power of algorithms, and chart a clear path ahead--for their company, their team, and themselves.

„Erst hat mich dieses Buch zutiefst verunsichert, dann hat es mich begeistert. Genau wie wir alle kämpfe ich in einer zunehmend komplizierten und verwirrenden Welt um meinen Erfolg. Die alten Regeln funktionieren einfach nicht mehr. Mike Walshs 10 Prinzipien, die auf realen Erfahrungen und gründlichem Nachdenken beruhen, weisen in die Zukunft.“ Michael Bungay Stanier, Autor des Wall-Street-Journal-Bestsellers The Coaching Habit. Reden Sie weniger & fragen Sie mehr Dieses Buch beruht auf zehn Prinzipien, die Mike Walsh in drei Phasen einer Transformation eingeteilt hat. Am Anfang geht es um Ihre persönliche Einstellung, dann um die Menschen, mit denen Sie zusammenarbeiten, und schließlich um Ihr Umfeld: I Ändern Sie Ihre Einstellung II (Ver)ändern Sie Ihre Arbeit III Verändern Sie die Welt Die zehn Prinzipien sind: 10 Arbeiten Sie zielorientiert, nicht profitorientiert 9 Im Zweifel fragen Sie einen Menschen 8 Wenn die Antwort X ist, fragen Sie nach Y 7 Automatisieren und Aufwerten 6 Arbeiten Sie nicht, gestalten Sie Arbeit 5 Machen Sie Ihre Firmenkultur zum Betriebssystem 4 Begrüßen Sie Unwägbarkeiten 3 Denken sie berechnend 2 Streben sie nach Verzehnfachung, nicht nach 10 Prozent 1 Denken Sie zurück aus der Zukunft Am Ende jedes Kapitels finden Sie eine kurze Zusammenfassung und eine Frage, die Sie dazu auffordern soll, sich im Kern den Veränderungen zu stellen, die in Ihrer Organisation nötig sind. Es ist allzu leicht, über grundsätzliche Veränderungen zu lesen, ohne sich mit der erschreckenden Möglichkeit auseinander zu setzen, dass das, was sich eigentlich verändern muss, nicht Ihre Firma oder Ihre Branche ist – sondern Sie.
