Command and Control: The Sociotechnical Perspective Taylor & Francis Ltd

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Military command and control is not merely evolving, it is co-evolving. Technology is creating new opportunities for different types of command and control, and new types of command and control are creating new aspirations for technology. The question is how to manage this process, how to achieve a jointly optimised blend of socio and technical and create the kind of agility and self-synchronization that modern forms of command and control promise. The answer put forward in this book is to re-visit sociotechnical systems theory. In doing so, the problems of 21st century command and control can be approached from an alternative, multi-disciplinary and above all human-centred perspective. Human factors (HF) is also co-evolving. The traditional conception of the field is to serve as a conduit for knowledge between engineering and psychology yet 21st century command and control presents an altogether different challenge.Viewing military command and control through the lens of sociotechnical theory forces us to confront difficult questions about the non-linear nature of people and technology: technology is changing, from platform centric to network centric; the interaction with that technology is changing, from prescribed to exploratory; and complexity is increasing, from behaviour that is linear to that which is emergent. The various chapters look at this transition and draw out ways in which sociotechnical systems theory can help to understand it. The sociotechnical perspective reveals itself as part of a conceptual toolkit through which military command and control can be transitioned, from notions of bureaucratic, hierarchical ways of operating to the devolved, agile, self-synchronising behaviour promised by modern forms of command and control like Network Enabled Capability (NEC). Sociotechnical system theory brings with it a sixty year legacy of practical application and this real-world grounding in business process re-engineering underlies the entire book.An attempt has been made to bring a set of sometimes abstract (but no less useful) principles down to the level of easy examples, design principles, evaluation criteria and actionable models. All of these are based on an extensive review of the current state of the art, new sociotechnical/NEC studies conducted by the authors, and insights derived from field studies of real-life command and control. Time and again, what emerges is a realisation that the most agile, self-synchronising component of all in command and control settings is the human.

Symbolism of Paul Gauguin University of California Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

In this magisterial book, Henri Dorra synthesizes more than fifty years of study to present a comprehensive examination of Paul Gauguin's symbolism. Drawing on his profound grasp of the artistic and social contexts in which Gauguin worked, Dorra provides new, complex insights into and interpretations of Gauguin's multilayered symbolism. "The Symbolism of Paul Gauguin" is lavishly illustrated with a major visual compendium of the artist's prodigious output. The highly readable narrative, based on a sophisticated understanding of Gauguin's oeuvre, offers a masterly interpretation of recurrent images and their interrelationships in the contemporaneous artistic and social context. Dorra discusses Gauguin's iconography and the artist's treatments of similar themes in various media, from prepatory drawings for paintings to related ceramics and wood carvings. He traces Gauguin's meanings in literary sources from classical mythology and the Bible to late ninetheenth-century literature. He also links the form and content of the artist's work to his unusual ancestry and upbringing.As the final scholarly work by an internationally recognized expert on nineteenth-century French symbolism, this book provides a profound new perspective on Gauguin and his work.

Russian Silhouettes: New Enlarged Edition

Szachy > Książki New In Chess

The dissolution of the Soviet Union marked the end of a unique chapter in the history of chess. With hindsight we can only marvel at the pivotal place the royal game occupied in the biggest country in the world. Originally embraced by Lenin as #8216;gymnastics of the mind#8217;, chess developed into an ideological weapon during the Cold War. Supported by the Soviet leadership, chess champions, from Mikhail Botvinnik on, grew into symbols of socialist excellence. As a respected trainer who became a world-class grandmaster after leaving Leningrad and moving to Holland in 1972,  Genna Sosonko  observes Soviet chess from a privileged dual perspective.  Combining an insider#8217;s nostalgia with the detachment of a critical observer, he has produced unforgettable portraits of the heroes of a vanished age.  This is a new, enlarged edition of a modern classic. Contents: A Vanished Age 7My Misha - Mikhail Tal 20 A Journey to Immortality - Mikhail Botvinnik 31 "I Must Work, I Most Work" - Lev Polugaevsky 57 The Chess King of Odessa - Efim Geller 70 In a Silent Way - Paul Keres 84   (NEW!)  I Knew Capablanca... 98 A Great Teacher Inspires - Vladimir Zak 121 "You Ask the Questions" - Seymon Furman 136 The Maestro - Alexander Koblenz 151 The Jump - Alvis Vitolins 174 The Summing Up - Grigory Levenfish 190 Shortlisted for the BCF Book-of-the-Year Award Dominic Lawson, The Browser: "Sosonko writes beautifully, better than any person who has written about the chess of the modern era."

Introduction to the New Testament Yale University Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Since its publication in 1997, Raymond Brown's Introduction to the New Testament has been widely embraced by modern readers seeking to understand the Christian Bible. Acknowledged as a paragon of New Testament studies in his lifetime, Brown was a gifted communicator who wrote with ease and clarity. Abridged by Marion Soards, who worked with Brown on the original text, this new, concise version maintains the essence and centrist interpretation of the original without tampering with Brown's perspective, insights, or conclusions. The biblical writings themselves remain the focus, but there are also chapters dealing with the nature, origin, and interpretation of the New Testament texts, as well as chapters concerning the political, social, religious, and philosophical world of antiquity. Furthermore, augmenting Brown's commentary on the New Testament itself are topics such as the Gospels' relationship to one another; the form and function of ancient letters; Paul's thought and life, along with his motivation, legacy, and theology; a reflection on the historical Jesus; and a survey of relevant Jewish and Christian writings.This comprehensive, reliable, and authoritative guidebook is now more accessible for novices, general readers, Bible study groups, ministers, scholars, and students alike.

Applied Psychology of Time - Urszula Tokarska

Książki & Multimedia > Książki

Opis - Polish psychologist, Urszula Tokarska, has done a great service to the emerging field of temporal psychology by creating this unique volume, along with 18 authors from around the world, which illustrates the exquisite interplay of research and practice in many domains. New vistas are realised by extending earlier applications of time perspective theory to a broad range of therapeutic practices, as well as explorations in education, counselling, risk management in business, prevention approaches along with new treatment strategies, and much more. I wholeheartedly endorse Applied Psychology of Time to everyone interested in understanding some fundamentals of human nature, and also those focused on ways to improve the human condition with new, empirically-validated strategies and tactics. Professor Philip G. Zimbardo Author of The Time Paradox and The Time Cure ["] temporal psychology is a prominent field of research not only for cognitive but also practical reasons, which is perfectly illustrated by this volume. Psychologists from around the world are now embracing the Time Perspective Inventory, just as they once did the Locus of Control Scale by Rotter ["]. The volume as a whole is one of the first attempts to showcase the potential applications of Time Perspective in research as well as education, intervention, and therapy, and as such can provide a powerful stimulus for practical and scientific use [...]. I find it very interesting and worth a wider readership. Prof. dr hab. Zbigniew Zaleski John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, Poland The book [?] covered a notable part of the field of potential practical applications of temporal psychology, focusing mainly on positive, non-clinical aspects of applications of the knowledge from the area. What is particularly important, the authors apply different approaches to the psychology of time, which should definitely be interpreted as a merit of this volume. The book can serve as a valuable resource for practitioners interested in applying temporal psychology in positive, developmental interventions. It is also complementary to other books in the area, which focused mainly (albeit not solely) on the basic, scientific approach to the psychology of time. However, academic scholars will also find some valuable points for stimulating their research ideas.

Economics McGraw-Hill

Biznes

Written in an informal colloquial style, this student-friendly Principles of Economics textbook does not sacrifice intellectual depth in its quest for accessibility. The author's primary concern is to instill 'economic sensibility' in the student. Colander emphasizes the intellectual and historical context to which the economic models are applied. This new edition offers improvements to this established and respected text including special Questions from Alternate Perspectives end-of-chapter questions that facilitate class discussion of differing views of thought in the discipline, and access to over 250 minutes of new videos from Paul Solman of the Lehrer NewsHour.DiscoverEcon with Paul Solman Videos: DiscoverEcon with Paul Solman Videos: We have created an interactive software shell that houses both DiscoverEcon, the best-selling tutorial software for Principles of Economics, and brand-new videos featuring Paul Solman of the Lehrer NewsHour on PBS. This product includes 240 minutes of video that focuses on explaining introductory economic concepts in a real-world, student-friendly manner. The website portion of the product includes updated graphing applets, interactive exercises, animated tutorials, and hundreds of multiple-choice questions to test student comprehension in each book chapter. The videos are integrated into the website and are available webstreaming or on DVD. The result is an integrated and comprehensive study tool that brings the material alive. Students will learn more, and will be more engaged in the subject.Updated International Coverage to Reflect Current Global Situations: The author has reorganized his presentation of international Macroeconomic policy (Chs 33-34), added a discussion of globalization and the law of one price (Ch 3), streamlined coverage of comparative advantage (Ch 2), and added a discussion of consumer surplus and deadweight loss with straight-line demand and supply curves. The author has also included coverage of European antitrust policy and globalization and interest to Chapter 15. The world is changing and is getting smaller in our open economy, so Dave Colander has ensured that his text has kept up with it. The Colander text is as cutting edge as ever. Behavioral Economics: Colander has included a discussion of behavioral economics to Chapter 8. This section includes a discussion of the work of Richard Thaler, the ultimatum game, and the status quo bias.Fully Updated: For the Sixth Edition, Colander has updated all the data and made all the necessary changes to topic coverage and examples to keep the book as current and relevant as ever. Student-Friendly Writing Style: Written in conversational English, not ĹźtextbookeseĹź, the author conveys economic sensibility to the reader with passion and humor. Students feel as though David Colander is speaking to them directly as a personal tutor. Students truly enjoy reading this textbook, as student feedback on the 5e book website will attest.Unbiased Coverage: While the author presents all the standard economic models, they are presented neither as gospel nor in isolation. After the models (tools) are presented, the author discusses how economists actually use these models in policy. He also points out those interpretative problems economists face. Economists are presented as fallible human beings making judgments and analyzing situations using a certain way of thinking. Colander describes that ĹźeconomicĹź way of thinking and discusses both its strengths and weaknesses.Historical Perspective: The authorĹźs historical perspective and his attempt to open doors to multiple interpretations will be especially interesting to liberal arts students. The book gives these students a real sense of economics and economic thinking.Tools Boxes: "Applying the Tools," "Knowing the Tools," and "Beyond the Tools" are included in most chapters to reinforce the economic tools presented in the text and help students learn the basics.Tools not Rules: Colander covers standard economic concepts but does not present them as inflexible rules. Rather, he treats them as tools for making real world judgments and analyses. Once students understand these tools, they consider their real world applications, along with their strengths and weaknesses. Reorganized Chapters 2-5: Colander has organized the material in Chapters 2 through 5 to make the book easier to use and to allow instructors more choice in presentation. Chapter 2 centers around the production possibility curve, comparative advantage, and trade. Chapter 3 covers economic systems, institutions, and the U.S. economy; the discussion of the role of government was moved from Chapter 5 to this chapter. Chapter 4 includes complete coverage of supply/demand so professors teaching macro can skip Chapter 5, which covers applications. Upward-Sloping AS Curve and Material on Fiscal Policy: In the macro section, Colander uses upward-sloping AS curve and enhanced fiscal policy discussions to the two model chapters (Chapters 25 and 26). These changes provide more standard coverage and use real examples to help students understand the models.International Chapters in to Macro split: The international trade and development chapters are in the macro split as well as the micro splits. Because of the increasing importance of international topics and the increasingly global dimension of our own economy, students benefit from this added coverage. Webnotes: Throughout the book, web icons appear in the margin with a label (such as "4.1 Unemployment"), which ties the textbook to the web through links on the book website.Questions from Alternate Perspectives End-of-Chapter Feature: ColanderĹźs Sixth Edition includes a new feature at the end of every chapter called ĹźQuestions from Alternate Perspectives.Ĺź These special end-of-chapter questions present an opportunity to discuss and analyze the material from the wide range of differing schools of thought in EconomicsĹźFeminist Economics, Marxist Economics, Public Choice Theory, the Austrian School, etc. While most Principles of Economics shy away from discussion of the more extreme positions, the Sixth Edition brings them all into the fold so that students can be exposed to all positions, or an instructor can employ them to put his or her particular theoretical spin on the material in the course. For those instructors who prefer a more mainstream approach, the Questions from Alternate Perspectives may easily be skipped. Outsourcing Coverage: Colander offers more coverage of outsourcing, perhaps the most important issue in economics for the first years of the 21st Century, than any other Principles text. As he does with all topics, Colander presents the different sides of the outsourcing issue in Chapters 2 and 21 as well as the ramifications of outsourcing, and allows the instructor and the student to come to his or her own conclusions.
