Описание: Ozzy Osbourne is a rock legend and pioneer of heavy metal, but these days it seems that more importance is placed upon his persona and celebrity than the groundbreaking music he has been a part of since the early 1970s. There have been many biographies on his life, but none have gone into his music with any real depth. Writer and musician Chris Wade, a life long Ozzy and Sabbath fan, has decided to look solely at Ozzy's music, putting the head biting and drug taking antics to one side to chart a career that includes Sabbath classics like Paranoid, and solo masterpieces such as Blizzard of Ozz and No More Tears.
It's time for the working class hero to be judged by his talents, rather than his rock star credentials.

Описание: Why another book on faith and God? Because believers are surrounded by a culture that tells them that God is irrelevant. On college campuses and in the media, people of faith are seen as na ve, or delusional, or just plain stupid. GOD AND OTHER THINGS can help Christians when they struggle with questions like: - Is God even necessary today? - Isn't the only truth that there is no absolute truth? - Didn't Darwin kill God with science? - Was Jesus really God, or just a great teacher? - Isn't the New Testament full of contradictions? - Aren't Christians arrogant about their God? - Why does a loving God allow human suffering? - How can God send good people to Hell? These are tough questions. They can be intimidating, but it doesn't have to be that way. There are answers to these questions. The problem is that they are too often hidden in books that collect dust on the shelf because they are seen as too preachy or tedious to read. GOD AND OTHER THINGS. Conversations That Defend Faith, Question Evolution, and Search for Truth is not that kind of book. It is not a typical book on theology or apologetics. It reveals the basics of Christianity and answers hard questions without weighing down the narrative with chapter and verse. There is not a footnote to be found. GOD AND OTHER THINGS has a fast paced, conversational style that gets to the point quickly. It entertains. It keeps your attention by allowing you to eavesdrop on a conversation between two friends as they disagree about obstacles to faith. It is more of a coffee shop conversation than a textbook, and anyone with a curious mind will benefit from it. It shows that you don't have to be stupid or na ve to believe. A Personal Note From the Author. I am a searcher for truth too, just as you are. I have dabbled in New Age mysticism, philosophy, and general spiritual enlightenment. This effort left me mostly confused rather than enlightened. Then I began to research theology, apologetics, and atheism. I gradually came to realize that the Christian narrative made the most sense and had the most to offer. I distilled much of what I learned in GOD AND OTHER THINGS. Conversations That Defend Faith, Question Evolution, and Search for Truth. Some of the opinions in the book are controversial. Some may offend Christians, but I will take that chance, because it seems to me that offence and truth often go hand in hand. I hope you enjoy the book, and I hope it helps you to better understand what you believe, and defend why you believe it. Keep the faith. Wade Winingham

Описание:
El Salvador is widely considered one of the most successful United Nations peacebuilding efforts, but record homicide rates, political polarization, socioeconomic exclusion, and corruption have diminished the quality of peace for many of its citizens. In Captured Peace: Elites and Peacebuilding in El Salvador, Christine J. Wade adapts the concept of elite capture to expand on the idea of “captured peace,” explaining how local elites commandeered political, social, and economic affairs before war’s end and then used the peace accords to deepen their control in these spheres.
While much scholarship has focused on the role of gangs in Salvadoran unrest, Wade draws on an exhaustive range of sources to demonstrate how day-to-day violence is inextricable from the economic and political dimensions. In this in-depth analysis of postwar politics in El Salvador, she highlights the local actors’ primary role in peacebuilding and demonstrates the political advantage an incumbent party—in this case, the Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA—has throughout the peace process and the consequences of this to the quality of peace that results.
From elite marathoner and Olympic hopeful Becky Wade comes the story of her year-long exploration of diverse global running communities from England to Ethiopia--9 countries, 72 host families, and over 3,500 miles of running--investigating unique cultural approaches to the sport and revealing the secrets to the success of runners all over the world.
Fresh off a successful collegiate running career--with multiple NCAA All-American honors and two Olympic Trials qualifying marks to her name--Becky Wade was no stranger to international competition. But after years spent safely sticking to the training methods she knew, Becky was curious about how her counterparts in other countries approached the sport to which she'd dedicated over half of her life. So in 2012, as a recipient of the Watson Fellowship, she packed four pairs of running shoes, cleared her schedule for the year, and took off on a journey to infiltrate diverse running communities around the world. What she encountered far exceeded her expectations and changed her outlook into the sport she loved.
Over the next twelve months--visiting 9 countries with unique and storied running histories, logging over 3,500 miles running over trails, tracks, sidewalks, and dirt roads--Becky explored the varied approaches of runners across the globe. Whether riding shotgun around the streets of London with Olympic champion sprinter Usain Bolt, climbing for an hour at daybreak to the top of Ethiopia's Mount Entoto just to start her daily run, or getting lost jogging through the bustling streets of Tokyo, Becky's unexpected adventures, keen insights, and landscape descriptions take the reader into the heartbeat of distance running around the world.
Upon her return to the United States, she incorporated elements of the training styles she'd sampled into her own program, and her competitive career skyrocketed. When she made her marathon debut in 2013, winning the race in a blazing 2:30, she became the third-fastest woman marathoner under the age of 25 in U.S. history, qualifying for the 2016 Olympic Trials and landing a professional sponsorship from Asics.
From the feel-based approach to running that she learned from the Kenyans, to the grueling uphill workouts she adopted from the Swiss, to the injury-recovery methods she learned from the Japanese, Becky shares the secrets to success from runners and coaches around the world. The story of one athlete's fascinating journey, Run the World is also a call to change the way we approach the world's most natural and inclusive sport.

Описание: Engineering begins with a design problem: how to make occupants of vehicles safer, settle on an inter-face for an x-ray machine or create more legible road signs. In choosing any particular solution, engineers must make value choices. By focusing on the solving of these problems, Ethics Within Engineering shows how ethics is at the intellectual core of engineering. Built around a number of engaging case studies, Wade Robison presents real examples of engineering problems that everyone, engineer or not, will recognize, ranging from such simple artifacts as toasters and the layout of burners and knobs on a stove top to the software responsible for the Columbia airliner crash. The most dramatic examples center on error-provocative designs: designs that provoke mistakes for even the most intelligent, well-informed, and highly motivated. These examples all raise ethical issues, posing questions for the reader, forcing the give-and-take of discussion in classrooms and the consideration of alternative solutions that solve the original design problem without the unfortunate features of the original solution. This original, focused approach provides an ideal entry point for anyone looking to better understand professional ethical responsibilities within engineering.

Описание: A tale of obsession and very big fish from Jeremy Wade, the presenter of ITV`s RIVER MONSTERS.
Company leaders feel the urgency to transform their organizations in the face of digital disruption. New rivals are digitizing whatever can be digitized to attack incumbents' value chains, gaining marketing share, eroding margins, and wreaking havoc to the competitive landscape in virtually every industry.
For large and midsized companies, the imperative to transform is clear. How to transform is another matter.
The hard truth is that despite leaders' best efforts, and billions spent in pursuit of digital transformation, the vast majority of organizational change programs fizzle, falling well short of their expected impacts. But organizations can ill-afford for their transformation programs to flop. Failed transformation programs put incumbents behind the eight ball when it comes to dealing with disruptive competition.
With this important new book, Orchestrating Transformation: How to Deliver Winning Performance with a Connected Approach to Change, the team at the Global Center for Digital Business Transformation, an IMD and Cisco initiative, set out a new prescription for getting transformation right.
The piecemeal strategies and pilot projects that are hallmarks of conventional transformation programs are hopelessly inadequate for the intricate, sprawling organizational environments found in most companies. Accordingly, transformation practitioners need a different mindset and a new approach to executing change that can handle the complexity and scale of today's market leaders. Orchestration--"mobilizing and enabling so as to achieve a desired effect"--paves the way for a new, more holistic conception of organizational resources and how they work together to drive change synergistically.
The follow-up to 2016's award-winning Digital Vortex, the book is packed with quantitative and qualitative insights from years of applied research and engagement with executives around the world.
A unique and indispensable guide for practitioners, Orchestrating Transformation moves past traditional change management doctrine to show how a connected approach to change can change everything.
