The Challenges of Educating People to Lead in a Challenging World
This volume explores the challenges of educating professionals to succeed in a complex, uncertain and global business world. The book contains intellectual concepts and practical advice from leaders in innovative education around the globe. It will help educators and the educational enterprise become more innovative, efficient, and effective in addressing the teaching/learning challenges associated with helping students prepare to face their own challenges.
The Ambivalence of Power in the Twenty-First Century Economy
The Ambivalence of Power in the Twenty-First Century Economy contributes to the understanding of the ambivalent nature of power, oscillating between conflict and cooperation, public and private, global and local, formal and informal, and does so from an empirical perspective. It offers a collection of country-based cases, as well as critically assesses the existing conceptions of power from a cross-disciplinary perspective. The diverse analyses of power at the macro, meso or micro levels allow the volume to highlight the complexity of political economy in the twenty-first century. Each chapter addresses key elements of that political economy (from the ambivalence of the cases of former commu...
The Culture of Military Innovation
This book studies the impact of cultural factors on the course of military innovations. One would expect that countries accustomed to similar technologies would undergo analogous changes in their perception of and approach to warfare. However, the intellectual history of the Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA) in Russia, the US, and Israel indicates the opposite. The US developed technology and weaponry for about a decade without reconceptualizing the existing paradigm about the nature of warfare. Soviet 'new theory of victory' represented a conceptualization which chronologically preceded technological procurement. Israel was the first to utilize the weaponry on the battlefield, but was th...
Choosing Yiddish
Yiddish Hip Hop, a nineteenth-century “Hasidic Slasher,” obscure Yiddish writers, and immigrant Jewish newspapers in Buenos Aires, Paris, and New York are just a few of the topics featured in Choosing Yiddish: New Frontiers of Language and Culture. Editors Lara Rabinovitch, Shiri Goren, and Hannah S. Pressman have gathered a diverse and richly layered collection of essays that demonstrates the currency of Yiddish scholarship in academia today.Organized into six thematic rubrics, Choosing Yiddish demonstrates that Yiddish, always a border-crossing language, continues to push boundaries with vigorous disciplinary exchange. “Writing on the Edge” focuses on the realm of belles lettres; ...
Recent Progress in Computational Sciences and Engineering (2 vols)
This volume brings together selected contributed papers presented at the International Conference of Computational Methods in Science and Engineering (ICCMSE 2006), held in Chania, Greece, October 2006. The conference aims to bring together computational scientists from several disciplines in order to share methods and ideas. The ICCMSE is unique in its kind. It regroups original contributions from all fields of the traditional Sciences, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Medicine and all branches of Engineering. It would be perhaps more appropriate to define the ICCMSE as a conference on computational science and its applications to science and engineering. Topics of general interest...
High Performance Computing in Science and Engineering, Garching 2004
This volume of High Performance Computing in Science and Engineering is fully dedicated to the final report of KONWIHR, the Bavarian Competence Network for Technical and Scientific High Performance Computing. It includes the transactions of the final KONWIHR workshop, that was held at Technische Universität München, October 14-15, 2004, as well as additional reports of KONWIHR research groups. KONWIHR was established by the Bavarian State Government in order to support the broad application of high performance computing in science and technology throughout the country. KONWIHR is a supporting action to the installation of the German supercomputer Hitachi SR 8000 in the Leibniz Computing Center of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences. The report covers projects from basic research in computer science to develop tools for high performance computing as well as applications from biology, chemistry, electrical engineering, geology, mathematics, physics, computational fluid dynamics, materials science and computer science.
Intimations of Nostalgia
This volume investigates the relationship between nostalgia and contemporary social issues. From history and political theory to marketing and media, each chapter discusses the way nostalgia has been presented within a specific disciplinary context and shows how nostalgia as a topic of research has evolved over time.

Symmetry and Perturbation Theory
This proceedings volume is a collection of papers presented at the International Conference on SPT2004 focusing on symmetry, perturbation theory, and integrability. The book provides an updated overview of the recent developments in the various different fields of nonlinear dynamics, covering both theory and applications. Special emphasis is given to algebraic and geometric integrability, solutions to the N-body problem of the “choreography” type, geometry and symmetry of dynamical systems, integrable evolution equations, various different perturbation theories, and bifurcation analysis. The contributors to this volume include some of the leading scientists in the field, among them: I An...
Etyka w organizacji
Na łamach niniejszego tomu wyniki swoich badań opublikowało 19 autorów. Usiłują oni odpowiedzieć na zadane przez redaktorów tomu pytania: czy warto być etycznym w ramach prowadzonej działalności, zarówno biznesowej jak i na innych płaszczyznach organizacyjnych, czy etyka w zarządzaniu wyszła z ram definicji i teorii do sfery praktyki, jakie narzędzia są stosowane we wdrażaniu wartości, postaw i poglądów etycznych, czy może etyka w zarządzaniu to rodzaj teorii, którą się zarządza i buduje na potrzeby chwili? Problem jest bardzo szeroki i nie dotyczy tylko i wyłącznie roli oraz miejsca etyki w życiu organizacji. Interdyscyplinarność tematu sprawiła, że stał się on przedmiotem rozważań badaczy różnych specjalności: etyków, filozofów, ekonomistów, kulturoznawców, psychologów, pedagogów, prawników, historyków, specjalistów od finansów, zarządzania i marketingu oraz przedstawicieli sfery praktycznej zarządzania, reprezentujących zarówno sektor prywatny, jak i publiczny oraz pozarządowy.
