The U.S. Marines Corps is the greatest fighting force on the
planet, but it’s so much more than that: it’s a factory for
producing first-rate leaders, problem-solvers, and innovators. In
2006, John Warren and John Thompson led Marines into combat in the
world’s most dangerous city: Ramadi, Iraq. But when they got
home, employers didn’t understand what they had to offer.
Undeterred, they founded their own specialty mortgage company,
growing it from scratch into a national powerhouse over the course
of a decade. When the two decorated veterans applied the values and
training of the U.S. Marine Corps to build a thriving business,
they defied corporate America’s expectations. That’s because
they realized that, far from producing mindless drones, the Corps
trains its warriors in adaptability, initiative, and
courage—ideal traits for anyone in leadership. In Lead Like a
Marine, Warren and Thompson lay out the simple, universal rules
that helped them succeed, from valuing grit and potential over
pedigree, to condensing large groups into resilient
“fireteams,†to cross-training team members so that anyone can
step up to the plate in a crisis. While the corporate world is
mired in maintaining the status quo, respecting status, and
flattering ego, Warren and Thompson stripped away the fat that
prevents organizations from innovating and excelling. Full of
smart, actionable advice, gripping combat stories, and
entrepreneurial lessons, this book will give you the tools and the
training you need to truly lead like a Marine.Â
These essays deal with the interaction between culture and politics
during the period of the Austrian Corporate State, the five years
preceding the Anschluss in 1938. The contributions show that no
aspect of literary and cultural life remained unchanged by the
National Socialist infiltration that took place in the 1930s. All
Austrian writers, publishers, theater directors, and film makers
had to decide whether to face economic penalty by opposing National
Socialism and being blacklisted in Germany or to seek financial
advantage by joining the Nazi movement. Jewish writers and
political activists had no choice but were forced to flee into
exile or face imprisonment in concentration camps after the
Anschluss.
Have you ever wondered why we eat wheat, rice, potatoes and
cassava? Why we routinely domesticate foodstuffs with the power to
kill us, or why we chose almonds over acorns? Answering all these
questions and more in a readable and friendly style, this book

Arranged into recurrent themes in plant domestication, this book
documents the history and biology of over 50 crops, including
cereals, spices, legumes, fruits and cash crops such as chocolate,
tobacco and rubber. In The Nature of Crops John Warren reveals:
-Why the Egyptians worshipped onions; -Why red-flowering runner
beans provide fewer beans than white-flowering; -The inherent
dangers of being a pineapple worker; and -Why a bird will always
beat you in a chilli pepper eating competition!

The application of ecological theory and conservation biology to
agricultural ecosystems has become an important and growing
research field and undergraduate course component in recent years.
This book is both an academic textbook and practical guide to farm
conservation, and has evolved from the authors' extensive teaching
experience. It covers the ecology of farmed land, how agricultural
practices influence the environment, how agriculture has changed
over time and how the species that inhabit the agri-environment
have adapted. It also covers the history of agricultural policy and
subsidies and the development of agri-environment schemes. A number
of different farming systems are discussed, as are the difficulties
in determining their relative merits. Guidance is offered on how to
produce a workable farm conservation plan, and the final chapters
look to the future and the development of new, greener farming
systems.
