Groundbreaking analysis showing that greater economic equality-not greater wealth-is the mark of the most successful societies, and offering new ways to achieve it.
"Get your hands on this book."-Bill Moyers
This groundbreaking book, based on thirty years' research, demonstrates that more unequal societies are bad for almost everyone within them-the well-off and the poor. The remarkable data the book lays out and the measures it uses are like a spirit level which we can hold up to compare different societies. The differences revealed, even between rich market democracies, are striking. Almost every modern social and environmental problem-ill health, lack of community life, violence, drugs, obesity, mental illness, long working hours, big prison populations-is more likely to occur in a less equal society. The book goes to the heart of the apparent contrast between material success and social failure in many modern national societies.
The Spirit Level does not simply provide a diagnosis of our ills, but provides invaluable instruction in shifting the balance from self-interested consumerism to a friendlier, more collaborative society. It shows a way out of the social and environmental problems which beset us, and opens up a major new approach to improving the real quality of life, not just for the poor but for everyone. It is, in its conclusion, an optimistic book, which should revitalize politics and provide a new way of thinking about how we organize human communities.

Описание: Basierend auf dem Erfolg von zEine Zusammenfassung des PMBOK(R) Guide - kurz und buendig" in der fuenften Ausgabe, ist eine neue Ausgabe verfasst, die nun vollstaendig auf die sechste Ausgabe des PMBOK(R) Guide (2017) abgestimmt ist. Wenn Sie mit dem PMBOK(R) Guide bereits vertraut sind, wird bereits der Titel dieses Buches Ihre Erwartungen erfuellen. Wenn der PMBOK(R) Guide Ihnen jedoch noch nicht begegnet ist: Der PMBOK(R) Guide (A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge) ist als weltweiter Standard im Projektmanagement anerkannt. Bestaetigt wird dies durch die Tatsache, dass mehr als sechs Millionen Exemplare im Umlauf sind, beginnend mit der ersten Ausgabe aus dem Jahr 1987 bis zur Version 6, die 2017 veroeffentlicht wurde. In dieser Version 6 sind auch agile Konzepte integriert, da diese heutzutage ein wichtiger Bestandteil unserer Projektumgebungen sind. Der zGuide" ist im Original jedoch recht umfangreich, und deshalb bieten wir mit dieser Taschenbuchausgabe eine leichter zugaengliche und verkuerzte Version an, um einem breiteren Publikum einen einfacheren Zugang zu ermoeglichen. Das wirklich Neue an dieser sechsten Ausgabe im Vergleich zu frueheren Ausgaben ist, dass neben einigen kleineren Updates jeder PM-Aspekt - genannt Wissensbereich - nun einen Abschnitt mit dem Titel Ansaetze fuer agile und adaptive Umgebungen enthaelt, in dem beschrieben wird, wie diese Praktiken in Ihre Projekte integriert werden koennen. Ausserdem wird mehr Wert auf das strategische und betriebswirtschaftliche Wissen eines Projektleiters gelegt - einschliesslich der Diskussion der eher strategischen Dokumente zBusiness Case" und zBenefit Management Plan" - die unsere Projekte vorantreiben.Auf organisationsweiter Ebene unterstuetzt der PMBOK Guide (R) einen strukturierten und gut abgestimmten Ansatz fuer einen Projektlebenszyklus und stellt sicher, dass alle Beteiligten (=zStakeholder") die gleiche Sprache sprechen. Es wird die praktische Anwendung von Projektmanagementprozessen verbessern, wenn diese nun von allen verstanden und konsequent angewendet werden. Dieses Taschenbuch ist fuer Projektauftraggeber (Sponsoren), Projektmanager/-leiter und Projektteammitglieder besonders nuetzlich, da dies die drei Schluesselrollen sind, die hier unterschieden werden. Ebenso nuetzlich ist das Buch fuer Projektnebenrollen (zum Beispiel fuer Mitglieder eines Projektmanagementbueros (PMO)). Es unterstuetzt alle Projektbeteiligten inzweierlei Hinsicht:¢ Besseres Verstaendnis ihrer Rolle in Projekten, die auf bewaehrte Praktikenim Projektmanagement beruhen;¢ Verbesserung eines organisationsweiten Projektmanagementansatzes. Kurz gesagt: eine kompakte jedoch komplette Zusammenfassung des PMBOK Guide(R), fuer jedem der mit Projekmanagement beschaeftigt ist, fuer nur a‚¬17,95!
The Battle of Gettysburg, in early July, 1863, began promisingly for Lee and his Confederate forces, but as the fighting progressed it became clear that in a pounding match where Meade's Union force remained nailed defensively to high ground it would take a master stroke on Lee's part for the Confederates to prevail. Attacks to turn the Union flank had failed leading to a decision to launch a concerted direct assault of converging regiments on the centre of the Union line, which was commanded by Hancock. The initiative seemed born of desperation and the Confederate general, Longstreet had little faith in its success. The attacking Confederates were compelled to march for over a mile across a wide expanse of open ground, under the most punishing enemy fire, before they could reach Union lines. Nevertheless, upon the order, the ranks of grey and butternut stepped bravely forward, under the commands of Pickett, Trimble and Pettigrew, and despite suffering fearful losses, some of them actually broke into the lines of the soldiers in blue. There they were killed, captured or faltered and fell back in retreat. 'Pickett's Charge', as this valiant debacle came to be known, was set upon a task almost certain to fail. Only the courage of those who charged is beyond question, for this attack has been the subject of intensive debate and much controversy. This Leonaur book on this pivotal action contains several essential perspectives by different authors and includes many maps and illustrations.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
Описание: The New York House of Refuge, the first institution in America to deal with the juvenile delinquent as a special problem, opened its doors in 1825. Deeply concerned with the plight of the thousands of children who roamed the New York City streets, many of them becoming professional criminals, a volunteer group called the Society for the Reformation of Juvenile Delinquents, founded the institution to rehabilitate ""deviant"" adolescents. This is the story of the critical early years of juvenile reform, which soon became a national movement.Current reform concepts are discussed in the Introduction and related to their seventeenth century origins, thus setting the stage for the 1825 world scene that gave rise to the Refuge idea. The following chapters trace events from their European background through the first administration of the House of Refuge, relating Refuge history to the changing character of penal institutions. No one knew how to turn delinquents into virtuous, industrious citizens. Trial and error approaches to solving the problem were often thwarted by the founders themselves, but some methods did prove successful. The personalities of the institution's administrators and of their youthful charges come to life through diary and journal accounts kept by the leading characters in this description of one historic attempt at ""taming of the deviant.""The House of Refuge finally closed in 1935, replaced by other institutions, but, as the author points out, problems remain today. The epilogue provides a broad sketch of the importance of the House of Refuge to current reform developments and present-day problems of juvenile delinquency. Extensive documentary information and occasional sidelights on the historical events under discussion can be found in the notes. Five tables present a sampling of 500 inmates of the House of Refuge, analyzed by ethnic origins, living arrangements, and family composition.

Описание: A book about our two important lifelong buddies: it`s the WHEN, WHY and HOW of breasts.
Описание: Since early childhood, communing with light beings and then working as a registered nurse for more than four decades, author Kathi Pickett has learned much about how the universe operates with the innate wisdom in your body to heal, to transform, and to manifest your desires. In On Becoming You, Pickett uses experiences from her personal journey to teach you the processes to gain personal power and a deeper understanding of how it all fits together with the energy and mystical laws to heal, manifest, and transform your life. It discusses: the mechanics of the energy system and the tools to foster health and vibrancy; how to heal through processes and tools that awaken you to your true nature; and how to invoke the nature of the highly structured, impersonal universe to create synchronicities, magic, and miracles. On Becoming You invites you to find rhythm and enjoy the life you were meant to live. Through stories, it unravels mysteries in a clear language to provide new insights and knowledge that can be woven into your being. Pickett inspires you to embrace new beginnings, to release inevitable endings, and to ignite a transformation on becoming you.

Описание:
Rome and several of his buddies had a dilemma. This was one of the hottest summers in Cleveland, Ohio that they could remember. With the heat and summer jobs lacking for a fifteen-year-old even, the once generous neighbors who created some work from time to time had dried up. Money was tight for everyone that they knew. They hoped that the one bud that had parents with good jobs would come through but it didn't happen. He left them high and dry. It was time to do what a young boy did not like to do: beg. They thought that maybe the proprietor of the corner store just might feel their pain. As they tried to figure out who would do the asking, they heard a female voice asking questions about what they were up to. Rome looked around and saw this lady at the bus stop. Rome answered her questions and they a had an enjoyable conversation when she motioned for him to come to her. She reached out and put something into his hand Rome had no idea what she said to him because he was concentrating on what was in his hand. It was paper and, when he ran in the store, it was just what they needed. When school started, all of the gang ended up in the same English class. Being assigned to write an essay about the most exciting thing that happened to them, Rome knew exactly what he would write about: The Woman at the Bus Stop. Intrigued about the lady at the bus stop, the English class began a project to find this woman and see if she touched the lives of any others. Following letters about the lady, and with a new-found passion for writing, Rome was on a search to find this lady and found that it really was a small world.

Описание: This critical analysis examines how Lizzo challenges fatphobia and reconstitutes fat stigmatization into self-empowerment through her strategic use of hyper-embodiment via social media, and the rhetorical distinctions between Lizzo`s self-curated narrative via social media and those offered about her in print media.
