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.

Ill-fated young lovers race to stop a power-hungry madman.

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.
