From the rollicking welcome of “A Festive Song” to the defiant battle cry of “Watchword of Labor,” Songs of Freedom accomplishes the difficult task of making contemporary music out of old revolutionary songs. Far from the archival preservation of embalmed corpses, the inspired performance of a rocking band turns the timeless lyrics of James Connolly into timely manifestos for today’s young rebels. As Connolly himself repeatedly urged, nothing can replace the power of music to raise the fighting spirit of the oppressed. Giving expression to Connolly’s internationalism, musical influences ranging from traditional Irish airs to American rhythm and blues are combined here in refreshi...
Over half a million copies sold Six murders. One hundred pages. Millions of possible combinations… but only one is correct. Can you solve Torquemada’s murder mystery? In 1934, the Observer’s cryptic crossword compiler, Edward Powys Mathers (aka Torquemada), released a novel that was simultaneously a murder mystery and the most fiendishly difficult literary puzzle ever written. The pages have been printed in an entirely haphazard order, but it is possible – through logic and intelligent reading – to sort the pages into the only correct order, revealing six murder victims and their respective murderers. Dare you take it on? Please note: this puzzle is extremely difficult and not for the faint-hearted.
Focusses on the influence of a strong magnetic field on the interactions between charged particles in a many-body system. This work investigates two complementary approaches, the binary collision model and the dielectric theory in both analytical and numerical frameworks.
Dieses Buch zeigt am Beispiel der Raiffeisenbank Ichenhausen und ihrer Mitarbeiter, dass es zum unternehmerischen und persönlichen Erfolg keine Vertriebsvorgaben braucht, sondern eine individuelle Motivation und einen ausgeprägten Teamgeist. Im Mittelpunkt stehen daher die persönlichen Ziele und Wünsche jedes Mitarbeiters – und die Position, die die Geschäftsleitung dazu bezieht. Ernst Kronawitter schildert praxisnah eine Fülle von typischen Situationen aus dem täglichen Arbeitsleben, die es dem Leser leicht machen, Leitlinien für das eigene Handeln daraus abzuleiten. Das in der Raiffeisenbank Ichenhausen erfolgreich praktizierte Modell eignet sich als Vorbild auch für Unternehmen anderer Branchen. Ein eindrucksvoller Praxisbericht, der zeigt, dass ein menschlich-harmonisches Arbeitsumfeld und rentables Geschäft kein Widerspruch sein müssen. Mit Gastbeiträgen von Ulrich Wickert und Dr. Reinhard K. Sprenger.
The Paper Time Machine is a book that will change the way you think about the past.It contains 130 historical black-and-white photographs, reconstructed in colour and introduced by Wolfgang Wild – creator and curator of the Retronaut website. The site has become a global phenomenon, collecting images that collapse the distance between the past and present and tear a hole in our map of time. The Paper Time Machine goes even further. Early photographic technology lacked a crucial ingredient – colour. As early as the invention of the medium, skilled artisans applied colour to photographs by hand, attempting to convey the vibrancy and immediacy of life in vivid detail. In most cases this was...

Data is humanity’s most important new resource. It has the capacity to provide insight into every aspect of our lives, the planet and the universe at large; it changes not only what we know but also how we know it. Exploiting the value of data could improve our existence as much as – if not more than – previous technological revolutions. Yet data without empathy is useless. There is a tendency in data science to forget about the human needs and feelings of the people who make up the data, the people who work with the data, and those expected to understand the results. Without empathy, this precious resource is at best underused, at worst misused. Data: A Guide to Humans will help you understand how to properly exploit data, why this is so important, and how companies and governments are currently using data. It makes a compelling case for empathy as the crucial factor in elevating our understanding of data to something which can make a lasting and essential contribution to your business, your life and maybe even the world.
