Описание: 'It's often said that books are compulsory reading, but this book really is compulsory. You cannot understand slavery, or British Empire, without it' Sathnam Sanghera Arguing that the slave trade was at the heart of Britain's economic progress, Eric Williams's landmark 1944 study revealed the connections between capitalism and racism, and has influenced generations of historians ever since. Williams traces the rise and fall of the Atlantic slave trade through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to show how it laid the foundations of the Industrial Revolution, and how racism arose as a means of rationalising an economic decision.
Most significantly, he showed how slavery was only abolished when it ceased to become financially viable, exploding the myth of emancipation as a mark of Britain's moral progress. 'Its thesis is a starting point for a new generation of scholarship' New Yorker

The team behind How Google Works returns with management lessons from legendary coach and business executive, Bill Campbell, whose mentoring of some of our most successful modern entrepreneurs has helped create well over a trillion dollars in market value.
Bill Campbell played an instrumental role in the growth of several prominent companies, such as Google, Apple, and Intuit, fostering deep relationships with Silicon Valley visionaries, including Steve Jobs, Larry Page, and Eric Schmidt. In addition, this business genius mentored dozens of other important leaders on both coasts, from entrepreneurs to venture capitalists to educators to football players, leaving behind a legacy of growing companies, successful people, respect, friendship, and love after his death in 2016.
Leaders at Google for over a decade, Eric Schmidt, Jonathan Rosenberg, and Alan Eagle experienced firsthand how the man fondly known as Coach Bill built trusting relationships, fostered personal growth--even in those at the pinnacle of their careers--inspired courage, and identified and resolved simmering tensions that inevitably arise in fast-moving environments. To honor their mentor and inspire and teach future generations, they have codified his wisdom in this essential guide.
Based on interviews with over eighty people who knew and loved Bill Campbell, Trillion Dollar Coach explains the Coach's principles and illustrates them with stories from the many great people and companies with which he worked. The result is a blueprint for forward-thinking business leaders and managers that will help them create higher performing and faster moving cultures, teams, and companies.

Описание:
Whether federalism and subnational constitutions contribute to or undermine minority rights has long been a subject of controversy. Within the United States, the general view has been that federalism has been detrimental to minority rights. In contrast, other countries have seen federalism as crucial in safeguarding rights of ethnic and religious minorities. This volume provides the basis for a more nuanced assessment of the contributions of federalism and subnational constitutions to protecting minority rights by studying their impact in a variety of federal systems.
This work explores both mature federal systems (Switzerland, United States) systems in transition (Belgium, Bosnia, Herzegovina), both quasifederal (Italy, Spain) and well-established systems (Germany), both systems with considerable homogeneity of population (Austria) and systems with extraordinary diversity (India). It also analyses the various constitutional arrangements that federal systems have devised for safeguarding minority rights and given them a voice in political deliberations.

Описание: For the most part our children spend the entire school day being taught by liberal leaning educators. We want them to believe what they are taught about math and science but do we want them to believe revisionist history or slanted beliefs on social justice? For example, were your kids taught that Martin Luther King III was a registered Republican in Fulton County, Georgia? Or that Republicans delivered the right for blacks to vote via the 15th amendment in 1870?, that President Dwight Eisenhower proposed civil rights amendments in the 1950's that were blocked by southern Democrats? And finally, do they know that during President Bill Clinton's presidency our country was attacked four times by Muslim terrorists (once on our own soil) and our country offered no meaningful response. This failure to adequately respond could have quite possibly contributed to the attack against us on 9/11/2001, and that Clinton was the first U.S. President to be impeached since Andrew Johnson? that he was acquitted but later found guilty of perjury (lying under oath) and disbarred, losing his license to practice law? Most likely they know none of these facts and certainly won't learn about them in school. In this book J. Alan Williams seeks to offset the liberal bias found in today's media and public education system while re-examining the revisionist history so prevalent in our society.This book covers many topics including what Williams defines as being a "true conservative", the 2012 election, economics, and some places where the Republican Party needs to make some adjustments. He also gives an excellent historical perspective, while exposing many popular misconceptions. "This book was written for the next generation, but everyone can learn something from this effort." "If the Republicans need a road map to victory in 2016 and beyond, this book is a great place to start."

Описание: Offers a comprehensive review of the methods of structural analysis and also the advances in computer applications. This guide covers principles of structural analysis to advanced concepts. It presents methods of analysis and illustrates the different methods of approach to a problem by specific examples.
Описание: Eric Williams`s influential and widely debated Capitalism and Slavery, first published in 1944, was based on his previously unavailable dissertation, now available in book form. The significant differences between his two works allows us to reconsider questions that have lost none of their urgency; indeed, whose importance has increased.
