Описание: The real Anne Lister, and the official companion to the hit BBC series created by Sally Wainwright and starring Suranne Jones. In Gentleman Jack, historian and series consultant Anne Choma draws from the explosive diaries of Anne Lister to recreate the life and times of one of the most fascinating figures of the 19th century. Anne's remarkable diaries, partly written in a secret code, detailed her innermost thoughts on everything from sex, menstruation and money to relationships, politics and society.
As Choma shows, they have opened up a previously unknown world to us. Fearless, charismatic and determined to explore her lesbian sexuality, Anne forged her own path in a society that had no language to define her. This is the real Gentleman Jack, following Anne from her crumbling ancestral home in Yorkshire to the glittering courts of Denmark as she resolves to put past heartbreak behind her and find herself a wife.
The official companion to the first series, it also features unpublished journal extracts decrypted for the first time, as well as a foreword by series creator Sally Wainwright.

Описание: Universities represent centers of learning and discovery. They are viewed with public reverence as places populated by bright, innovative and collaborative minds. Ivory Towers. But all too often, as This Unfortunate Business reveals, academics who wander the halls of higher learning have their daggers drawn. Driven by envy, they are preoccupied with their personal place in institutional hierarchy and history. Academic advancement often occurs at the expense of others - colleagues with whom they supposedly work in productive liaison. Andrew Duncan, recently appointed as chairman of a Division, is a surgeon consumed with caring for his patients. Apart from that paramount goal, there are many institutional responsibilities requiring his undivided attention. Thus preoccupied, he initially ignores his inexplicably paltry income. But he is eventually compelled to investigate the financial intricacies and inequities of the department that he oversees. His inquiries reveal staggering incompetence and probable malfeasance. Andrews exposure of this dilatory conduct and possible corruption meet with unexpected resistance and criticism from those senior to him. This response leads - not to investigation of his allegations - but to what appears to be open institutional criticism and outright retaliation. This Unfortunate Business tells of these political machinations, all too frequent in academic establishments, and how Duncan attempts to navigate through the many pitfalls set before him. Throughout his trials, he continues to perform complex reconstructive operations; one goal of his work is to demonstrate a dramatic advance in treatment of the newborn with major limb deficiencies. But can such a goal be achieved within such a dysfunctional system?

Описание:
Few books in computing have had as profound an influence on software management as Peopleware. The unique insight of this longtime best seller is that the major issues of software development are human, not technical. They're not easy issues; but solve them, and you'll maximize your chances of success. "Peopleware has long been one of my two favorite books on software engineering. Its underlying strength is its base of immense real experience, much of it quantified. Many, many varied projects have been reflected on and distilled; but what we are given is not just lifeless distillate, but vivid examples from which we share the authors' inductions. Their premise is right: most software project problems are sociological, not technological. The insights on team jelling and work environment have changed my thinking and teaching. The third edition adds strength to strength." -- Frederick P. Brooks, Jr., Kenan Professor of Computer Science, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Author of The Mythical Man-Month and The Design of Design "Peopleware is the one book that everyone who runs a software team needs to read and reread once a year. In the quarter century since the first edition appeared, it has become more important, not less, to think about the social and human issues in software develop ment. This is the only way we're going to make more humane, productive workplaces. Buy it, read it, and keep a stock on hand in the office supply closet." --Joel Spolsky, Co-founder, Stack Overflow "When a book about a field as volatile as software design and use extends to a third edition, you can be sure that the authors write of deep principle, of the fundamental causes for what we readers experience, and not of the surface that everyone recognizes. And to bring people, actual human beings, into the mix How excellent. How rare. The authors have made this third edition, with its additions, entirely terrific." --Lee Devin and Rob Austin, Co-authors of The Soul of Design and Artful Making For this third edition, the authors have added six new chapters and updated the text throughout, bringing it in line with today's development environments and challenges. For example, the book now discusses pathologies of leadership that hadn't previously been judged to be pathological; an evolving culture of meetings; hybrid teams made up of people from seemingly incompatible generations; and a growing awareness that some of our most common tools are more like anchors than propellers. Anyone who needs to manage a software project or software organization will find invaluable advice throughout the book.
