Описание: A brilliant and visionary argument for America's role as an enforcer of peace and order throughout the world--and what is likely to happen if we withdraw and focus our attention inward. Recent years have brought deeply disturbing developments around the globe. American sentiment seems to be leaning increasingly toward withdrawal in the face of such disarray. In this powerful, urgent essay, Robert Kagan elucidates the reasons why American withdrawal would be the worst possible response, based as it is on a fundamental and dangerous misreading of the world. Like a jungle that keeps growing back after being cut down, the world has always been full of dangerous actors who, left unchecked, possess the desire and ability to make things worse. Kagan makes clear how the "realist" impulse to recognize our limitations and focus on our failures misunderstands the essential role America has played for decades in keeping the world's worst instability in check. A true realism, he argues, is based on the understanding that the historical norm has always been toward chaos--that the jungle will grow back, if we let it.

Описание:
This book is designed to bring the educated layperson -- the typical marketer or business professional familiar with the topic -- to a point where digital methods become an essential element of their integrated marketing strategy from the onset. We will approach the topic strategically, but also dive into elements of tactical execution across all the major digital channels: search, display, email, social, and mobile. Our approach will focus on the ultimate business goals and results of a marketing strategy -- and how to frame these objectives and measure them for success -- rather than just showcase every "shiny new object," app, or social network. Given the rapidly changing subject matter in the book, we'll provide extensive examples, tools and resources for use outside the confines of the text, and in a special section at the end of each chapter.

Описание:
"Nikki L. Kagan is a unique, experienced, and passionate facilitator who breathes and lives people's inner Development both as leaders and as human beings. Her ability to build strong, trusting and lasting relationships with colleagues, customers and people in general, combined with the relationships she has forged with her horses, has led to a powerfully effective methodology. She brings people and horses together with a very gentle, sensitive and guiding approach, helping leaders step outside their comfort zone to learn about themselves through the horses' authentic eyes, and because horses never put on airs or masks, the self-reflection leaders engage in is one of the strongest I've ever experienced. Nikki compassionately takes leaders hand in hand with this magical encounter, to a newly expanded comfort zone where they can be introspective--analyzing their actions and learning about themselves. This special meeting with Nikki and the horses is one in which everyone should participate at some point in their lives--for an unforgettable experience and for the long-lasting impact it will create." Hagith Malul, Chief of Staff eBay Israel "I have known Nikki for many years now, first as a client and later, also as a friend. In our relationship as consultant and client, she has always been a true partner by taking an active role in identifying needs, designing an appropriate solution and delivering it in the most professional manner. Nikki is very open-minded and eager to learn more to further enhance her client offering even with her many years of experience coaching and facilitating team and leadership development processes. Her approach is always fresh and unique because she believes that to fully optimize any development processes, every groups' specific needs must be reflected. Participants in her sessions find it easy to engage and introspect in a way that results in meaningful and actionable outcomes, as evidenced by the consistently positive feedback she receives. On a personal note, Nikki has been my closest mentor, supporting my own development and growth as an HR professional. She is the one to whom I can turn with any dilemma or challenge I encounter and as such, I truly cherish my relationship with her." Shirley Azouri, HRBP, Fortune 500 Company "I have known Nikki as a consultant for several years now, and have had the privilege of experiencing her facilitation skills firsthand, and of participating in one of her HorseSense leadership development sessions together with my team. I must say, it was experiential learning unlike any other Time and again throughout the day, her horses helped us to understand how we show up as leaders and how we influence others. Through Nikki's facilitation and guidance, we experienced how our physical presence, speech, level of authenticity and congruence impacts our interactions with the horses as well as our ability to achieve lasting results. Naturally, this impact extends beyond the horses to include those with whom we work. Reflecting on the exercises enabled us to identify metaphors for what we see in the day to day-- such as leading through uncertainty. Through those metaphors, we gained clarity around how certain triggers impact our effectiveness as leaders, underscoring the importance of leadership presence in creating meaningful connections. I must say, I began the day with mixed emotions of both excitement and intimidation. Within a very short time the intimidation vanished, and in its place, I experienced a strong sense of bonding with these noble and wonderful creatures. In Instinctive Leadership, Nikki has captured the essence of how a horse's basic instincts and ways of being in the world present us with a myriad of opportunities to learn about leadership, presence, and humility."

Описание: American dispute resolution is more adversarial, compared with systems of other economically advanced countries. Americans more often rely on legal threats and lawsuits. American laws are generally more complicated and prescriptive, adjudication more costly, penalties more severe. Here, Kagan examines the origins and consequences of this system.
The Spanish Craze is the compelling story of the centuries-long U.S. fascination with the history, literature, art, culture, and architecture of Spain. Richard L. Kagan offers a stunningly revisionist understanding of the origins of hispanidad in America, tracing its origins from the early republic to the New Deal.
As Spanish power and influence waned in the Atlantic World by the eighteenth century, her rivals created the “Black Legend,” which promoted an image of Spain as a dead and lost civilization rife with innate cruelty and cultural and religious backwardness. The Black Legend and its ambivalences influenced Americans throughout the nineteenth century, reaching a high pitch in the Spanish-American War of 1898. However, the Black Legend retreated soon thereafter, and Spanish culture and heritage became attractive to Americans for its perceived authenticity and antimodernism.
Although the Spanish craze infected regions where the Spanish New World presence was most felt—California, the American Southwest, Texas, and Florida—there were also early, quite serious flare-ups of the craze in Chicago, New York, and New England. Kagan revisits early interest in Hispanism among elites such as the Boston book dealer Obadiah Rich, a specialist in the early history of the Americas, and the writers Washington Irving and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. He also considers later enthusiasts such as Angeleno Charles Lummis and the many writers, artists, and architects of the modern Spanish Colonial Revival in the United States in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Spain’s political and cultural elites understood that the promotion of Spanish culture in the United States and the Western Hemisphere in general would help overcome imperial defeats while uniting Spaniards and those of Spanish descent into a singular raza whose shared characteristics and interests transcended national boundaries.
With elegant prose and verve, The Spanish Craze spans centuries and provides a captivating glimpse into distinct facets of Hispanism in monuments, buildings, and private homes; the visual, performing, and cinematic arts; and the literature, travel journals, and letters of its enthusiasts in the United States.
