Described as a "masterpiece" and "a must-read for everyone in business in government," Michael G. Winston's World-Class Performance explores how companies can thrive and compete without sacrificing their values. With the Olympics as a backdrop, Winston draws on his decades of experience in corporate America to lay out a blueprint for the future of business and personal excellence. Before becoming one of the United States' highest profile whistle-blowers connected to the financial industry meltdown, Michael G. Winston spent more than 30 years working as a business leader, change agent, and organization strategist for some of America's most prestigious corporations. He has served as a senior executive for Lockheed, McDonnell Douglas, Motorola, Merrill Lynch, and Countrywide Financial.

Award-winning historian Mike Walling captures the essence of the Arctic Convoys of World War II. In 1941, Germany invaded the Soviet Union in the largest offensive operation ever undertaken. Operation Barbarossa saw defeat after defeat heaped on the Soviet army. With Russia's forces left staggering under the strain and in desperate need of supplies, Britain and the United States launched an ambitious operation to resupply the Soviet Union using convoys sent through the Arctic. Their journey was punctuated by torpedo attacks in freezing conditions, Stuka dive bombers, naval gun fire, and weeks of total darkness in the Arctic winter, with ships disappearing below the waves weighed down by the ice and snow on their decks. Drawing on hundreds of oral histories from eyewitnesses and veterans of the convoys, plus original research into the Russian Navy archives at Murmansk, historian Michael G. Walling offers a fresh retelling of one of World War II's pivotal yet largely overlooked campaigns.
This monograph by one of the world's leading vision researchers provides a thorough, mathematically rigorous exposition of a broad and vital area in computer vision: the problems and techniques related to three-dimensional (stereo) vision and motion. The emphasis is on using geometry to solve problems in stereo and motion, with examples from navigation and object recognition. Faugeras takes up such important problems in computer vision as projective geometry, camera calibration, edge detection, stereo vision (with many examples on real images), different kinds of representations and transformations (especially 3-D rotations), uncertainty and methods of addressing it, and object representatio...
