Описание: Available open access under CC-BY-NC license. Homelessness is unequivocally devastating. In the UK, people affected by homelessness are ten times more likely to die than their peers in the general population, yet we still miss important opportunities to adequately address the issue. The Centre for Homelessness Impact brings together this urgent book gathering the insights and experiences of leaders in government, academia and the third sector to present new evidence-based strategies to end homelessness. Demonstrating why and how a new movement is needed that embraces data and evidence as integral to ending homelessness effectively, this book provides crucial methods to underpin future policy, practice and funding decisions.

Описание: Based on eight years of research visiting dozens of startups, tech companies and incumbents, Harvard Business School professor Thales Teixeira shows how and why consumer industries are disrupted, and what established companies can do about it--while highlighting the specific strategies potential startups use to gain a competitive edge. There is a pattern to digital disruption in an industry, whether the disruptor is Uber, Airbnb, Dollar Shave Club, Pillpack or one of countless other startups that have stolen large portions of market share from industry leaders, often in a matter of a few years. As Teixeira makes clear, the nature of competition has fundamentally changed. Using innovative new business models, startups are stealing customers by breaking the links in how consumers discover, buy and use products and services. By decoupling the customer value chain, these startups, instead of taking on the Unilevers and Nikes, BMW's and Sephoras of the world head on, peel away a piece of the consumer purchasing process. Birchbox offered women a new way to sample beauty products from a variety of companies from the convenience of their homes, without having to visit a store. Turo doesn't compete with GM. Instead, it offers people the benefit of driving without having to own a car themselves. Illustrated with vivid, indepth and exclusive accounts of both startups, and reigning incumbents like Best Buy and Comcast, as they struggle to respond, Unlocking the Customer Value Chain is an essential guide to demystifying how digital disruption takes place - and what companies can do to defend themselves.

To solve the case means death When a determined assault on two students leaves one of them dead and the other missing near Jerusalem's famous Old City, the hunt for the killer hints on something far more sinister behind the slaying.

But they soon realize a powerful enemy behind the carefully planned plot will have them fight to decipher the code first. Follow the infamous team between the ancient structures in and around Jerusalem, and then to Crete as the clues unravel themselves and they make a remarkable discovery so vital to history that it shakes the very core of Biblical prophecy.

Also suitable as a standalone novel. *Includes Bonus content and a free digital copy of the series prequel.
Описание: "The H(uman)MBA, Lessons from the Classics of Literature and Philosophy you don't learn in business schools" is a unique approach to linking lessons from great books to our daily reality in business, organisations and life at large. A set of thirty-nine topics collected by the author throughout his global career in six continents, each topic with quotes extracted from thirty-nine classics, and a simple guide to help you write book number forty, "your own book of purpose". At a time when humanity, human values, and our planet are faced with so many threats, The H(uman)MBA is a humanistic call to reflection, looking back at the classics to help managers and leaders build a more humane future. Each chapter is deliberately short and contains: - A brief description of the topic in question, hardly taught in a business school. - A reference to the classic book chosen to illustrate the topic. - A few quotes or excerpts from the book in question, and... - A brief guideline for reflection, discussion or debate. Growth, productivity, efficiency, only for the sake of profit are not chapters found in The H(uman)MBA. On the other hand, the management of dilemmas, obsessions, adversity, coping with failure, stoicism and many more are an integral part of this personal, yet universal collection of topics. Economic success and purpose are not contradictory. The 40th book is your own book of purpose which you can write around the humanistic values that you select from the ones presented. The exercise may not necessarily make you a better manager or leader. However, it will help you become a better, more humane person, and better persons make better leaders.
Описание: The United States has often acted as an empire in Latin America. Nevertheless, there has been an obvious dissimilarity between U.S. actions in South America and U.S. actions in the rest of Latin America, which is illustrated by the fact that the United States never sent troops to invade a South American country. While geographic distance and strategic considerations may have played a role, they provide at best incomplete explanations for the U.S. s relative absence south of Panama. The fact that the United States has had a distinct pattern of interactions with South America is thus not captured by the typical concept of Latin America. In Brazil, the United States, and the South American Subsystem: Regional Politics and the Absent Empire, Carlos Gustavo Poggio Teixeira recuperates the virtually neglected literature on regional subsystems. In so doing, Teixeira maintains that researchers of inter-American relations would greatly benefit from a characterization reflecting actual regional realities more than entrenched preconceptions. Such a characterization involves subdividing the Western Hemisphere in two regional subsystems: North and South America. This subdivision allows for uncovering regional dynamics that can help explain the U.S. s limited interference in South American affairs compared to the rest of Latin America. This book argues that the role of Brazil as a status quo regional power in South America is the key to understanding this phenomenon. Through a historical analysis focusing on specific cases spanning three centuries, this research demonstrates that Brazil, regardless of particular domestic settings, has deliberately affected the calculations of costs and benefits of a more significant US involvement in South America. While in the past Brazil has taken actions that resulted in increasing the benefits of the U.S. s limited involvement in South America, in more recent times it has sought to increase the costs of a more significant U.S. presence. Teixeira then considers some of the theoretical and political implications of the framework laid out by this research. Brazil, the United States, and the South American Subsystem is a groundbreaking investigation of U.S.-Latin American relations and the politics of imperialism.

Описание:
Join Sir Gawain on his journey to seek the green chapel and battle the green knight who dwells there. Accepting the challenge of a Christmas game on behalf of his uncle, King Arthur, the young knight, Sir Gawain, leaves his home of Camelot and travels afar, finding board at a stately castle. Received by a hospitable Host, Sir Gawain finds refuge along with many tests and challenges along the way. His final challenge awaits at the green chapel, where he is to receive a deathly blow of the ax from the green knight. The greatest challenge of all is young Sir Gawain staying honest to himself.
Jane England received an F in the children's literature course. The only failing grade of her entire academic career was on a mid-term paper she wrote about the anonymous fourteenth-century poem "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight." Her professor at the time disagreed that the well-studied piece of British literature was also a work of children's literature.
Many great works of children's literature demonstrate Joseph Campbell's thesis of the mythical journey of the hero depicting the psychological and spiritual maturation necessary for human existence. "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" satisfies all the elements of Joseph Campbell's thesis of the hero's journey: the call to adventure, supernatural aid, crossing the threshold from the known to the unknown, beginning of transformation, aid from a helper, challenges and temptations, the revelation and the abyss, rebirth and transformation, atonement, and return to the known.
Albeit, the anonymous fourteenth-century poem "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" as written did not lend itself easily to be read by children. Ultimately the mutually agreed upon decision was to rewrite a portion of the fourteenth-century work into the text of children's literature following the structure of the hero's journey and proving that the tale of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight can be children's literature. Challenge accepted.
On and off for many years beyond college, Jane continued rewriting the entire poem into a simplified form to appeal to children.

Описание: From war campaigns to peacekeeping operations, The Portuguese at War presents an overview of the conflicts, wars and revolutions in which Portugal was involved from the nineteenth century to the present day. From the French invasions to the civil wars, from the African Empire to the wars of decolonisation, from belligerence in the First World War to neutrality in the Second, from participation in the Atlantic Alliance to peacekeeping operations in Kosovo, East Timor, Lebanon and Afghanistan. The book addresses the military interventions in politics and the role of the countrys political regimes in military reform: from the Liberal Revolutions to the Republic, from the military dictatorship and authoritarian regime to the 25th of April Revolution and the transition to democracy. The historical record of Portugals war involvement is not only closely aligned to international and European circumstance but to internal factors: the economy, society, public opinion and political/military power. A historical perspective must of necessity link Portuguese war excursions with the military institutions in place at the time: their recruitment system, social composition and organisation of the army, navy and air force; the military ethos; the evolution of equipment, weapons and military technologies; strategic military doctrine and how this impacted on tactics and military operations; and of course the war outcomes. Special attention is given to the effects of international isolation after the Estado Novo, and post-Cold War europeanisation. The book does not eschew the plurality of interpretative theories. Rather, it seeks to combine historical accuracy of the Portuguese at war within a highly readable literary narrative aimed not only at undergraduate and research levels, but at a broader public audience interested in the complex reach and role of Portugal in world history.
