Описание: Why do we mistrust people more in the UK than in Japan? Why do Americans have higher rates of teenage pregnancy than the French? The answer: inequality. This book provides hard evidence to show: how almost everything - from life expectancy to mental illness, violence to illiteracy - is affected not by how wealthy a society is, but how equal it is.

Описание:
A November Book Pick from The New York Times
When archivist Nadia Fontaine is found dead of an apparent drowning, Emily Snow is hired by Regents University to finish the job she started--to organize and process the papers of Raymond West, a famous Pulitzer Prize-winning author who has been short-listed for the Nobel.
Emily's job comes with its inherent pressures. West's wife, Elizabeth, is an heiress who's about to donate $25 million to the Memorial Library--an eight-story architectural marvel that is the crown jewel of the university. The inaugural event in just a few months will be a gala for the who's who of San Diego to celebrate the unveiling of the Raymond West Collection and the financial gift that made it all possible.
As Emily sets to work on the West papers, it begins to dawn on her that several items have gone missing from the collection. To trace their whereabouts, she gains unsupervised access to the highly restricted dark archives, in which she opens a Pandora's box of erotically and intellectually charged correspondence between Raymond West and the late Nadia Fontaine. Through their archived emails, Emily goes back a year in time and relives the tragic trajectory of their passionate love affair. Did Nadia really drown accidentally, as the police report concluded, or could it have been suicide, or, even worse, murder? Compelled to complete the collection and find the truth, Emily unwittingly morphs into an adult Nancy Drew and a one-woman archivist crusader on a mission to right the historical record.
Twisting slowly like a tourniquet, The Archivist turns into a suspenseful murder mystery with multiple and intersecting layers. Not just a whodunit, it is also a profound meditation on love, privacy, and the ethics of destroying or preserving materials of a highly personal nature.

Описание: Albert James Pickett`s History of Alabama, and Incidentally of Georgia and Mississippi, from the Earliest Period first appeared in Montgomery bookstores in September 1851. This new edition is the first to provide general readers and scholars with a readily available hardbound, fully indexed, and annotated version of Pickett`s History.
The Battle of Gettysburg, in early July, 1863, began promisingly for Lee and his Confederate forces, but as the fighting progressed it became clear that in a pounding match where Meade's Union force remained nailed defensively to high ground it would take a master stroke on Lee's part for the Confederates to prevail. Attacks to turn the Union flank had failed leading to a decision to launch a concerted direct assault of converging regiments on the centre of the Union line, which was commanded by Hancock. The initiative seemed born of desperation and the Confederate general, Longstreet had little faith in its success. The attacking Confederates were compelled to march for over a mile across a wide expanse of open ground, under the most punishing enemy fire, before they could reach Union lines. Nevertheless, upon the order, the ranks of grey and butternut stepped bravely forward, under the commands of Pickett, Trimble and Pettigrew, and despite suffering fearful losses, some of them actually broke into the lines of the soldiers in blue. There they were killed, captured or faltered and fell back in retreat. 'Pickett's Charge', as this valiant debacle came to be known, was set upon a task almost certain to fail. Only the courage of those who charged is beyond question, for this attack has been the subject of intensive debate and much controversy. This Leonaur book on this pivotal action contains several essential perspectives by different authors and includes many maps and illustrations.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
Описание: Basierend auf dem Erfolg von zEine Zusammenfassung des PMBOK(R) Guide - kurz und buendig" in der fuenften Ausgabe, ist eine neue Ausgabe verfasst, die nun vollstaendig auf die sechste Ausgabe des PMBOK(R) Guide (2017) abgestimmt ist. Wenn Sie mit dem PMBOK(R) Guide bereits vertraut sind, wird bereits der Titel dieses Buches Ihre Erwartungen erfuellen. Wenn der PMBOK(R) Guide Ihnen jedoch noch nicht begegnet ist: Der PMBOK(R) Guide (A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge) ist als weltweiter Standard im Projektmanagement anerkannt. Bestaetigt wird dies durch die Tatsache, dass mehr als sechs Millionen Exemplare im Umlauf sind, beginnend mit der ersten Ausgabe aus dem Jahr 1987 bis zur Version 6, die 2017 veroeffentlicht wurde. In dieser Version 6 sind auch agile Konzepte integriert, da diese heutzutage ein wichtiger Bestandteil unserer Projektumgebungen sind. Der zGuide" ist im Original jedoch recht umfangreich, und deshalb bieten wir mit dieser Taschenbuchausgabe eine leichter zugaengliche und verkuerzte Version an, um einem breiteren Publikum einen einfacheren Zugang zu ermoeglichen. Das wirklich Neue an dieser sechsten Ausgabe im Vergleich zu frueheren Ausgaben ist, dass neben einigen kleineren Updates jeder PM-Aspekt - genannt Wissensbereich - nun einen Abschnitt mit dem Titel Ansaetze fuer agile und adaptive Umgebungen enthaelt, in dem beschrieben wird, wie diese Praktiken in Ihre Projekte integriert werden koennen. Ausserdem wird mehr Wert auf das strategische und betriebswirtschaftliche Wissen eines Projektleiters gelegt - einschliesslich der Diskussion der eher strategischen Dokumente zBusiness Case" und zBenefit Management Plan" - die unsere Projekte vorantreiben.Auf organisationsweiter Ebene unterstuetzt der PMBOK Guide (R) einen strukturierten und gut abgestimmten Ansatz fuer einen Projektlebenszyklus und stellt sicher, dass alle Beteiligten (=zStakeholder") die gleiche Sprache sprechen. Es wird die praktische Anwendung von Projektmanagementprozessen verbessern, wenn diese nun von allen verstanden und konsequent angewendet werden. Dieses Taschenbuch ist fuer Projektauftraggeber (Sponsoren), Projektmanager/-leiter und Projektteammitglieder besonders nuetzlich, da dies die drei Schluesselrollen sind, die hier unterschieden werden. Ebenso nuetzlich ist das Buch fuer Projektnebenrollen (zum Beispiel fuer Mitglieder eines Projektmanagementbueros (PMO)). Es unterstuetzt alle Projektbeteiligten inzweierlei Hinsicht:¢ Besseres Verstaendnis ihrer Rolle in Projekten, die auf bewaehrte Praktikenim Projektmanagement beruhen;¢ Verbesserung eines organisationsweiten Projektmanagementansatzes. Kurz gesagt: eine kompakte jedoch komplette Zusammenfassung des PMBOK Guide(R), fuer jedem der mit Projekmanagement beschaeftigt ist, fuer nur a‚¬17,95!
Groundbreaking analysis showing that greater economic equality-not greater wealth-is the mark of the most successful societies, and offering new ways to achieve it.
"Get your hands on this book."-Bill Moyers
This groundbreaking book, based on thirty years' research, demonstrates that more unequal societies are bad for almost everyone within them-the well-off and the poor. The remarkable data the book lays out and the measures it uses are like a spirit level which we can hold up to compare different societies. The differences revealed, even between rich market democracies, are striking. Almost every modern social and environmental problem-ill health, lack of community life, violence, drugs, obesity, mental illness, long working hours, big prison populations-is more likely to occur in a less equal society. The book goes to the heart of the apparent contrast between material success and social failure in many modern national societies.
The Spirit Level does not simply provide a diagnosis of our ills, but provides invaluable instruction in shifting the balance from self-interested consumerism to a friendlier, more collaborative society. It shows a way out of the social and environmental problems which beset us, and opens up a major new approach to improving the real quality of life, not just for the poor but for everyone. It is, in its conclusion, an optimistic book, which should revitalize politics and provide a new way of thinking about how we organize human communities.
This is a Scripture-honoring novel of action-adventure, romance, and real-life struggle. It features a culture of relationships tested through war, love, weakness, and triumph. These heroes are not outwardly exceptional-they fail, they don't know what to do, they become angry, and some are beaten down by others-but they are used in amazing, life-changing ways that rise to move even the heart of the king
Go with them into the unknown of far-off exploration. Face the enemy in hand-to-hand combat. Meet the Black Sheik, the old shepherd, and the mysterious "Scrolls of Legacy." Will the love for a lost young wife ever be felt again? Will a family be split apart by adversity?
Set in the land of Israel around 1000 BC, it is both a link to our faith's roots, and an understanding of how scriptural principles are timeless.
