Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Burning Man festival, which is a temporary community in the Black Rock Desert in northern Nevada, is a social experiment in which money is forbidden and extreme creativity is celebrated. #2 The world was thrown into a state of disruption in 2020, and leaders had to adapt. The practices Keith and Kian had been recommending to executive teams for years suddenly became must-do items. #3 Around the world, companies were forced to adapt to a radically changed business environment. Some companies were able to thrive, but many were just crisis adapting. #4 At Ferrazzi Greenlight, we launched a project called Go Forward to Work, which aimed to study how the rules of work were being rewritten day by day and what exciting possibilities lay ahead. We wanted to create a place where leaders could stop and cocreate the future.

Contrary to popular belief--and despite the expulsion, emigration, or death of many German mathematicians--substantial mathematics was produced in Germany during 1933-1945. In this landmark social history of the mathematics community in Nazi Germany, Sanford Segal examines how the Nazi years affected the personal and academic lives of those German mathematicians who continued to work in Germany. The effects of the Nazi regime on the lives of mathematicians ranged from limitations on foreign contact to power struggles that rattled entire institutions, from changed work patterns to military draft, deportation, and death. Based on extensive archival research, Mathematicians under the Nazis show...
The frequent use of well known critical data handbooks like Beilstein, Gmelin and Landolt-Bomstein is impeded by the fact that merely larger libraries - often far away from the scientist's working place - can afford such precious collections. To satisfy an urgent need of many scientists working in the field of semiconductor physics for having at their working place a comprehensive, high quality, but cheap collection of at least the basic data of their field of interest this volume contains the most important data of semiconductors. All data were compiled from information on semiconductors presented on more than 6000 pages in various volumes of the New Series of Landolt-Bomstein. We hope to m...
Mother Jones is an award-winning national magazine widely respected for its groundbreaking investigative reporting and coverage of sustainability and environmental issues.
This fast-paced book by Yale professors Michael Graetz and Ian Shapiro unravels the following mystery: How is it that the estate tax, which has been on the books continuously since 1916 and is paid by only the wealthiest two percent of Americans, was repealed in 2001 with broad bipartisan support? The mystery is all the more striking because the repeal was not done in the dead of night, like a congressional pay raise. It came at the end of a multiyear populist campaign launched by a few individuals, and was heralded by its supporters as a signal achievement for Americans who are committed to the work ethic and the American Dream. Graetz and Shapiro conducted wide-ranging interviews with the ...
A number of general-purpose, reasonably accurate and well-tested ab-initio codes for crystals are discussed in this book. The aim is to expand competence of their application in material sciences and solid-state physics. The book addresses particularly readers with a general knowledge in quantum chemistry and intends to give a deeper insight into the special algorithms and computational techniques in ab-initio computer codes for crystals. Three different programs which are available to all interested potential users on request are presented.

Journalist Russ Bellant examines the influential but little-known role of the Coors beer family in American politics. Through their philanthropic donations, Joseph Coors and other family members have bankrolled a right-wing agenda of union-busting, homophobia, sexism, racism, and covert operations. The Coors family has served as the cornerstone of the right-wing movement known as the New Right. "The Coors Connection" details the individuals, organizations, and causes supported by Coors philanthropy. A picture emerges of a family's frighteningly narrow vision of the American dream, and its willingness to support extremists who would undermine American democracy. Russ Bellant is an investigati...
