"Kagan's book is a contribution of considerable distinction, scrupulously fair, carefully argued, and lucidly written. And, what is more, it is persuasive.... Kagan sets out the story in detail and with acumen. The case has been adumbrated before?but never presented with such thoroughness." ? Journal of Interdisciplinary History
The first volume of Donald Kagan's acclaimed four-volume history of the Peloponnesian War offers a new evaluation of the origins and causes of the conflict, based on evidence produced by modern scholarship and on a careful reconsideration of the ancient texts. He focuses his study on the question: Was the war inevitable, or could it have been avoided?
Kagan takes issue with Thucydides' view that the war was inevitable, that the rise of the Athenian Empire in a world with an existing rival power made a clash between the two a certainty. Asserting instead that the origin of the war "cannot, without serious distortion, be treated in isolation from the internal history of the states involved," Kagan traces the connections between domestic politics, constitutional organization, and foreign affairs. He further examines the evidence to see what decisions were made that led to war, at each point asking whether a different decision would have been possible.

"Nikki L. Kagan is a unique, experienced, and passionate facilitator who breathes and lives people's inner Development both as leaders and as human beings. Her ability to build strong, trusting and lasting relationships with colleagues, customers and people in general, combined with the relationships she has forged with her horses, has led to a powerfully effective methodology. She brings people and horses together with a very gentle, sensitive and guiding approach, helping leaders step outside their comfort zone to learn about themselves through the horses' authentic eyes, and because horses never put on airs or masks, the self-reflection leaders engage in is one of the strongest I've ever experienced. Nikki compassionately takes leaders hand in hand with this magical encounter, to a newly expanded comfort zone where they can be introspective--analyzing their actions and learning about themselves. This special meeting with Nikki and the horses is one in which everyone should participate at some point in their lives--for an unforgettable experience and for the long-lasting impact it will create." Hagith Malul, Chief of Staff eBay Israel "I have known Nikki for many years now, first as a client and later, also as a friend. In our relationship as consultant and client, she has always been a true partner by taking an active role in identifying needs, designing an appropriate solution and delivering it in the most professional manner. Nikki is very open-minded and eager to learn more to further enhance her client offering even with her many years of experience coaching and facilitating team and leadership development processes. Her approach is always fresh and unique because she believes that to fully optimize any development processes, every groups' specific needs must be reflected. Participants in her sessions find it easy to engage and introspect in a way that results in meaningful and actionable outcomes, as evidenced by the consistently positive feedback she receives. On a personal note, Nikki has been my closest mentor, supporting my own development and growth as an HR professional. She is the one to whom I can turn with any dilemma or challenge I encounter and as such, I truly cherish my relationship with her." Shirley Azouri, HRBP, Fortune 500 Company "I have known Nikki as a consultant for several years now, and have had the privilege of experiencing her facilitation skills firsthand, and of participating in one of her HorseSense leadership development sessions together with my team. I must say, it was experiential learning unlike any other Time and again throughout the day, her horses helped us to understand how we show up as leaders and how we influence others. Through Nikki's facilitation and guidance, we experienced how our physical presence, speech, level of authenticity and congruence impacts our interactions with the horses as well as our ability to achieve lasting results. Naturally, this impact extends beyond the horses to include those with whom we work. Reflecting on the exercises enabled us to identify metaphors for what we see in the day to day-- such as leading through uncertainty. Through those metaphors, we gained clarity around how certain triggers impact our effectiveness as leaders, underscoring the importance of leadership presence in creating meaningful connections. I must say, I began the day with mixed emotions of both excitement and intimidation. Within a very short time the intimidation vanished, and in its place, I experienced a strong sense of bonding with these noble and wonderful creatures. In Instinctive Leadership, Nikki has captured the essence of how a horse's basic instincts and ways of being in the world present us with a myriad of opportunities to learn about leadership, presence, and humility."

Описание: How did the (old) Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK) assess the Chinese proficiency of non-native speakers of Chinese? What inferences can be derived from HSK test taker scores, especially from Western test takers? How difficult is it to learn Chinese according to the HSK? Thirty years of research have been synthesized into an argument-based approach for validating the most widespread test for Chinese as a foreign language. In addition, the author has analyzed the scores of a sample of over 250 German test takers in order to investigate how many hours German natives needed on average to study for reaching a specific HSK level. This work also extensively discusses validation theory for psychological testing, and it demonstrates how to put an argument-based approach to validation into practice.

Описание: For three decades in the fifth century b.c. the ancient world was torn apart by a conflict that was as dramatic, divisive, and destructive as the world wars of the twentieth century: the Peloponnesian War. Donald Kagan, one of the world s most respected classical, political, and military historians, here presents a new account of this vicious war of Greek against Greek, Athenian against Spartan. "The Peloponnesian War" is a magisterial work of history written for general readers, offering a fresh examination of a pivotal moment in Western civilization. With a lively, readable narrative that conveys a richly detailed portrait of a vanished world while honoring its timeless relevance, "The Peloponnesian War" is a chronicle of the rise and fall of a great empire and of a dark time whose lessons still resonate today.

Описание:
This book is designed to bring the educated layperson -- the typical marketer or business professional familiar with the topic -- to a point where digital methods become an essential element of their integrated marketing strategy from the onset. We will approach the topic strategically, but also dive into elements of tactical execution across all the major digital channels: search, display, email, social, and mobile. Our approach will focus on the ultimate business goals and results of a marketing strategy -- and how to frame these objectives and measure them for success -- rather than just showcase every "shiny new object," app, or social network. Given the rapidly changing subject matter in the book, we'll provide extensive examples, tools and resources for use outside the confines of the text, and in a special section at the end of each chapter.
