Ships on Maps: Pictures of Power in Renaissance Europe
Richard W. Unger, "Ships on Maps: Pictures of Power in Renaissance Europe"
2010 | ISBN: 0230231640 | File type: PDF | 320 pages | 26.4 mb
Ships on maps in the sixteenth century were signs of European conquest of the seas. Cartographers commemorated the new found dominion over the oceans by putting the most technically advanced ships of the day all over oceans, estuaries, rivers, and lakes on all kinds of maps. Ships virtually never appeared on maps before 1375. The dramatic change from medieval practice had roots in practical problems but also in exploration and new geographical knowledge. Map makers produced beautiful works of art and decorated them with the accomplishments which set Europeans apart from their classical past and from all the other peoples of the world. Ships on Maps investigates how, long admired but little understood, the many ships big and small that came to decorate maps in the age when sailors began to sail around the world were an integral part of the information summarizing a new age.

Looking Beyond the Runway By Nawal K. Taneja
Looking Beyond the Runway By Nawal K. Taneja
Publisher: A s h g a t e 2010 | 362 Pages | ISBN: 1409400999 | PDF | 10 MB
The global airline industry, facing significant changes and discontinuity is prompted and forced to deal with a 'new normal'. Who would have imagined a few years ago that: a significant percentage of consumers in the US now prefer to fly low-cost airlines instead of full-service airlines because they perceive the product to be better, airlines would generate up to a third of their total income from non-ticket revenue, many low-cost airlines would add complexity to their original simple business models through the development of code-share agreements, the use of global distribution systems, and travel agents to distribute their seats, or Jetstar, a low-cost subsidiary of Qantas, would grow faster and be more profitable than its parent.
Who would have also imagined a few years ago that: a survey carried out by Ryanair would show that 42 per cent of passengers would be willing to stand on short (one hour) flights if they could pay 50 per cent less than seated passengers, passengers could pay as little as US$2,000 for a transatlantic Business Class ticket on top-brand airlines, Lufthansa would have ownership in airlines based in Austria, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, Turkey, the UK, and the US, and that it would continue to pursue equity ownership in airlines based in Poland and Scandinavia, or the Japanese and Canadian governments would struggle to find different ways to bail out their heretofore flag carriers? To deal with this upcoming 'new normal', airlines have to go beyond their short-term circumstantial strategies - they need strategic renewal of their ageing business model. In this candidly-written book, Nawal Taneja explains what will separate the winners from the losers. He maintains the leaders will be the airlines that: exploit this crisis-driven change to their best advantage, learn to work around the airline-inherent constraints that prevent them from running their businesses just like other businesses, learn from successes and failures of other global enterprises, sharpen their business intelligence, analytics, and strategic agility, and proactively explore the 'pockets of growth' in this emerging-markets century. To help airline executives become informed of new competitive games, the author analyzes numerous business sectors such as auto, hospitality, retail, technology, and entertainment. For example, relevant lessons can be learned from the strategic mistakes made by the US automakers. Likewise, emergent and compelling insights can be gained in superior customer experience from Ritz Carlton and Zappos, and in value-creating innovation from Cirque du Soleil and Zipcar. The book also features a multitude of forewords from airlines and related businesses to provide readers with multiple perspectives on the changing landscape in the global airline industry. Nawal Taneja is a career analyst of the global airline industry with wide-ranging experience in the aviation industry, academia, and public policy. Encouraged by industry executives, he has written five other books for practitioners in the global airline industry, including "Fasten Your Seatbelt: The Passenger is Flying the Plane" and "Flying Ahead of the Airplane".

The Management of Meaning in Organizations
Slawek Magala, "The Management of Meaning in Organizations"
P,.ve M.lan | 2009 | ISBN: 0230013619 | 256 pages | File type: PDF | 1 mb
'The most helpful GPS system to guide us in my opinion is our Euro-colleague Slawomir Magala's [Rotterdam School of Management]new book The Management of Meaning in Organizations.' - Charles Wankel, St. John's University, New York 'This is a great book. Every scholar of organisation studies should have this book in their library.' - Professor Ken Parry, Centre for Leadership Studies, Bond University
Historical translations ( for instance of Greek philosophy into Arabic into Latin into vernacular, better known as Renaissance). Underground transfers of knowledge and values between cultural domains (of a bureaucracy from religion to politics, of innovative avant-garde from science to art, of moral sentiments and bourgeois virtues from philosophy and politics to economics). They merit more attention. Do we understand how management of meaning in organizations fuels sociocultural evolution in complex societies changing semantic fields of possible meanings ahead?

Dean Lundell explains how we as traders can take advatage of the great knowledge of war tractics from Tsun Tzu an ancient war strategist from China ho developed the greatest compilation of tactics to apply in every aspect of a war and that now are used by CEO´s from multinational companies, presidents, Militaries from around the globe and of course traders, take a few minutes to read about the description in the following lines.
Twenty-five centuries ago, Sun Tzu, master military strategist and tactician, wrote his classic treatise The Art of War, in which he outlined the simple but vital principles needed to win battles and wars. Now Vietnam veteran and securities trading superstar Dean Lundell shows you how to apply Sun Tzu's battle-proven techniques to making enormous profits investing in stocks, commodities, bonds, and currencies.
Can Sun Tzu's 2,500-year-old secrets for winning wars make you a fortune in today's financial markets? For more than 25 centuries, generals and commanders won tremendous battles against overwhelming odds by following the uncannily effective battle strategies in Sun Tzu's classic treatise, The Art of War.
Now mega successful securities trader and ex-soldier Dean Lundell shows you how to apply Sun Tzu's winning tactics to making enormous profits trading stocks, bonds, currencies, and commodities in today's markets. Financial markets, like opposing sides in a war, are in constant conflict. And like participants in war, investors in financial markets either win--or lose. Compiled in the sixth century B.C. from the teachings of Sun Tzu, a Chinese general and philosopher, The Art of War has helped armies win battles the world over, and is required reading at military academies. Dean Lundell has applied these teachings to achieving victory in financial markets--with amazing success. In Sun Tzu's Art of War for Traders and Investors, Lundell shows you--whether you're a seasoned trader or an amateur investor--how to come out ahead. . .and make a lot more money than "investment warriors" not armed with these key strategies.

He is the principal of Osiris Trading Ltd., where he specializes in arbitrage and managed money trading in currencies and interest rate futures.

How the University Works: Higher Education and the Low-Wage Nation
How the University Works: Higher Education and the Low-Wage Nation
Publisher: NYU Press | 2008 | 304 Pages | ISBN: 0814799752 | PDF | 10 MB
As much as we think we know about the modern university, very little has been said about what it's like to work there. Instead of the high-wage, high-profit world of knowledge work, most campus employeesincluding the vast majority of facultyreally work in the low-wage, low-profit sphere of the service economy. Tenure-track positions are at an all-time low, with adjuncts and graduate students teaching the majority of courses. This super-exploited corps of disposable workers commonly earn fewer than $16,000 annually, without benefits, teaching as many as eight classes per year. Even undergraduates are being exploited as a low-cost, disposable workforce.
Marc Bousquet, a major figure in the academic labor movement, exposes the seamy underbelly of higher educationa world where faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates work long hours for fast-food wages. Assessing the costs of higher education's corporatization on faculty and students at every level, How the University Works is urgent reading for anyone interested in the fate of the university.

The Economist (Audio Edition MP3) - February 26th 2011
The Economist Audio Edition - February 26th 2011
English | Audio MP3 @ 48 Kbps | Publisher: The Economist 2011 | 200 MB
Intro:
The audio edition contains word-for-word recordings of all articles published in The Economist, read by professional broadcasters and actors. It is ideal for anyone who wants to listen to articles while travelling, exercising or just relaxing.
Background:
The Economist is an English-language weekly news and international affairs publication owned by "The Economist Newspaper Ltd" and edited in London. It has been in continuous publication since James Wilson established it in September 1843. As of summer 2007, its average circulation topped 1.2 million copies a week, about half of which are sold in North America. Consequently it is often seen as a transatlantic (as opposed to solely British) news source.
The aim of The Economist is "to take part in a severe contest between intelligence, which presses forward, and an unworthy, timid ignorance obstructing our progress."Subjects covered include international news, economics, politics, business, finance, science, technology, and the arts. The publication is targeted at the high-end "prestige" segment of the market and counts among its audience influential business and government decision-makers.
It takes a strongly argued editorial stance on many issues, especially its support for free trade and fiscal conservatism; it can thus be considered as a magazine which practises advocacy journalism.
Although The Economist calls itself a newspaper and refers to its staff as correspondents, it is printed in magazine form on glossy paper, like a newsmagazine.
The Economist belongs to The Economist Group. The publication interests of the group include the CFO brand family as well as the annual World in..., the lifestyle quarterly Intelligent Life, European Voice and Roll Call (known as "the Newspaper of Capitol Hill"). Another part of the group is The Economist Intelligence Unit, a research and advisory company providing country, industry and management analysis worldwide. Since 1928, half the shares of The Economist Group have been owned by the Financial Times, a subsidiary of Pearson PLC, and the other half by a group of independent shareholders, including many members of the staff. The editor's independence is guaranteed by the existence of a board of trustees, which formally appoints him and without whose permission he cannot be removed.

Despite the current volatility in housing markets around the world, property ownership continues to be seen as safer and more reliable than many other types of investment. However, property investment remains a complex business - for example, What type of investment is best for a portfolio? Has every single expense been accounted for in renovating that 'bargain' property? What exactly are the implications of the credit crunch and the sub-prime market for the average property investor?
"The Complete Guide to Investing in Property" looks at all aspects of generating money from property - whether that be by renting out spare rooms to lodgers, property development, buying land, holiday rentals or becoming a landlord. Fully updated for this fourth edition, it takes a fresh look at investing in the social housing market and using property as part of a pension plan, as well as providing commentary on the latest legislative developments governing landlords and tenants.
