Was schulden wir uns gegenseitig? Wie k?nnen wir unseren Antrieb,
unseren Einfallsreichtum, ja sogar unseren Schmerz in etwas
Sinnvolleres als individuellen Erfolg verwandeln? Und was ist
unsere Pflicht an den Orten, an denen wir leben und arbeiten? Mit
diesen Fragen hat sich Howard Schultz pers?nlich
auseinandergesetzt, seit er in Brooklyn aufgewachsen ist und auch
als er Starbucks zu einer der weltweit bekanntesten Marken gemacht
hat. In seinem neuen Buch sucht Schultz in zwei miteinander
verwobenen Geschichten nach Antworten. Eine Geschichte zeigt, wie
seine widerspr?chliche Kindheit - einschlie?lich Erfahrungen, die
er noch nie zuvor offenbart hat - Schultz motivierte, der erste in
seiner Familie zu werden, der das College absolvierte, um dann die
Art von Unternehmen aufzubauen, f?r das sein Vater, ein Arbeiter,
nie eine Chance hatte zu arbeiten: ein Unternehmen, das versucht,
Profit und Menschenw?rde in Einklang zu bringen. Eine parallele
Geschichte bietet einen Blick hinter die Kulissen von Schultz'
unkonventionellen Bem?hungen, alte Vorstellungen ?ber die Rolle der
Wirtschaft in der Gesellschaft in Frage zu stellen. Von der
Krankenversicherung ?ber kostenlosen College-Unterricht bis hin zu
umstrittenen Initiativen im Hinblick auf Rasse und Fl?chtlinge -
Schultz und sein Team haben gesellschaftliche Themen mit der
gleichen Kreativit't und Disziplin angegangen, mit der sie den
Kaffeekonsum in der Welt ver?ndert haben. Howard Schultz' Buch ist
auch ein Querschnitt durch US-Amerika. Es zeigt, wie Amerikaner es
immer wieder schaffen, K?mpfe und Schwierigkeiten in Erfolge zu
verwandeln. Auf diesen Seiten finden verlorene Jugendliche erste
Jobs, aufstrebende Studenten ?berwinden ihre Schulden, Opfer von
Kriegen "ersetzen" verlorene Gliedma?en durch unbezwingbaren Geist,
Unternehmer beginnen mit dem Tr?umen usw. Das Buch ist teils
ehrliche Erinnerungen, teils erhebende Blaupause der gegenseitigen
Verantwortung und teils Beweis daf?r, dass normale Menschen
au?ergew?hnliche Dinge tun k?nnen. Es ist eine optimistische,
inspirierende Darstellung dessen, was passiert, wenn wir aufstehen,
sprechen und uns f?r gr ere Zwecke als wir selbst zusammenfinden.
Schultz liefert eine starke und neue Vision und ein Pl?doyer f?r
mehr Menschlichkeit.

Positivism, not just an "ivory tower" philosophy, was a major force
in the social, political, and educational life of Mexico during the
last half of the nineteenth century. Once colonial conservatism had
been conquered, the French Intervention ended, and Maximilian of
Hapsburg executed, reformers wanted to create a new national order
to replace the Spanish colonial one. The victorious liberals strove
to achieve "mental emancipation," a kind of second independence,
which would abolish the habits and customs imposed on Mexicans by
three centuries of colonialism. At this singular moment in Mexican
history, positivism was offered as an extraordinary means and
pathway to a new order. The next stage was the education of the
Mexican people in this liberal philosophy and their incorporation
into the process of development achieved by modern nations.
Leopoldo Zea traces the forerunners of liberal thought and their
influence during Juarez's time and shows how this ideology
degenerated into an "order and progress" philosophy that served
merely to maintain colonial forms of exploitation and, at the same
time, to create new ones that were peculiar to the neocolonialism
that the great nations of the world imposed on other peoples. Zea
examines the regime of Porfirio Diaz and its justification by the
positivist philosophers of the period. He concludes that the
conflict between exploited social groups, on the one hand, and
foreign interests and a middle class on the margin of an oligarchy,
on the other, brought about the movement known as the Mexican
Revolution.
The Marines' campaign to secure Anbar Province in Iraq will rank as
one of the Corps' historic battle achievements. Dick Shultz's
brilliant account of that campaign is rich in lessons learned and
examples of adaptability. The Marines Take Anbar will be a classic
study in counter insurgency." -- Gen. Anthony C. Zinni, USMC (Ret.)
The U.S. Marine Corps' four-year campaign against al Qaeda in Anbar
is a fight certain to take its place next to such legendary clashes
as Belleau Wood, Guadalcanal, Peleliu, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, Chosin,
and Khe Sanh. Its success, the author contends, constituted a major
turning point in the Iraq War and helped alter the course of events
and set the stage for the Surge in Baghdad a year later. This book
brings to light all the decisive details of how the Marines,
between 2004 and 2008, adapted and improvised as they applied the
hard lessons of past mistakes. In March 2004, when part of the 1st
Marine Expeditionary Force (I MEF) was deployed to Anbar Province
in the heart of the Sunni triangle, the Marines quickly found
themselves locked in a bloody test of wills with al Qaeda, and a
burgeoning violent insurgency. By the spring of 2006, according to
all accounts, enemy violence was skyrocketing, while predictions
for any U.S. success were plummeting. But at that same time new
counterinsurgency initiatives were put in place when I MEF returned
for its second tour in Anbar, and the Marines began to gain
control. By September 2008 the fight was over. Richard Shultz, a
well-known author and international security studies expert, has
thoroughly researched this subject. His book effectively argues the
case for the Marines changing the course of the war at Anbar, which
is contrary to the conventional wisdom that the Surge was the
turning point.
This book introduces a comprehensive mathematical formulation of
the three-dimensional ocean acoustic propagation problem by means
of functional and operator splitting techniques in conjunction with
rational function approximations. It presents various numerical
solutions of the model equation such as finite difference,
alternating direction and preconditioning. The detailed analysis of
the concept of 3D, N x 2D and 2D problems is very useful not only
mathematically and physically, but also computationally. The
inclusion of a complete detailed listing of proven computer codes
which have been in use by a number of universities and research
organizations worldwide makes this book a valuable reference
source. Advanced knowledge of numerical methods, applied
mathematics and ocean acoustics is not required to understand this
book. It is oriented toward graduate students and research
scientists to use for research and application purposes.
