Mossad is universally recognised as the greatest intelligence
service in the world. It is also the most enigmatic, shrouded in a
thick veil of secrecy. Many of its enthralling feats are still
unknown; most of its heroes remain unnamed.From the kidnapping of
Eichmann in Argentina and the systematic tracking down of those
responsible for the Munich massacre to lesser-known episodes of
astonishing espionage, this extraordinary book describes the
dramatic, largely secret history of Mossad and the Israeli
intelligence community.Examining the covert operations, the
targeted assassinations and the paramilitary activities within and
outside Israel, Michael Bar-Zohar and Nissim Mishal detail the
great stories of Mossad and reveal the personal tales of some of
the best Mossad agents and leaders to serve their country.
The Ninth World Congress of Sport Psychology inspired this book
which includes contributions by the gathering's keynote speakers
substantially extended and updated from their conference
presentations on the theme 'Innovations in Sport Psychology:
Linking Theory and Practice'. Targeted toward researchers sport
psychology consultants and students the text addresses recent
innovations in the field and charts the links between theory and
practice. The book contains five parts. Part I presents some
historical perspectives on sport psychology; Part II deals with
basic concepts of sport psychology; Part III with various cognitive
aspects of skilled motor behaviour; Part IV includes chapters on
motivation and emotion; and Part V examines the various facets of
the interface between behavioural science and society. The content
of this textbook is highly relevant not only for researchers and
students of sport psychology but also for practitioners such as
coaches and athletes interested in the application of this exciting
and evolving discipline to their particular area of interest.
Complexity and Control in Team Sports is the first book to apply
complex systems theory to 'soccer-like' team games (including
basketball, handball and hockey) and to present a framework for
understanding and managing the elite sports team as a multi-level
complex system. Conventional organizational studies have tended to
define team sports as a set of highly heterogeneous physical,
mental and cognitive activities within which it is difficult, if
not impossible, to find common behavioural playing regularities or
universal pedagogies for controlling those activities. Adopting a
whole system approach, and exploring the concepts of control,
regulation and self-organization, this book argues that it is
possible for coaches, managers and psychologists to develop a
better understanding of how a complex system works, and therefore,
to more successfully manage and influence a team's performance.
This book draws on literature from the biological, behavioural and
social sciences, including, psychology, sociology and sports
performance analysis, to develop a detailed, interdisciplinary and
multi-level picture of the elite sports team. It analyzes behaviour
across five inter-connected levels: the team as a 'managed
institution'; coaching staff controlling players via cybernetic
flows; the team as a playing unit; the individual player as a
complex dynamic system expressed through behaviour; and a player's
complex physiological/biological system. Drawing these together,
the book throws fascinating new light on the elite sports team and
will be useful reading for all students, researchers or
professionals with an interest in sport psychology, sport
management, sport coaching, sport performance analysis or complex
systems theory.
The Mossad is widely recognized today as the best intelligence
service in the world. It is also the most enigmatic, shrouded in
secrecy. Mossad: The Greatest Missions of the Israeli Secret
Service unveils the defi ning and most dangerous operations that
have shaped Israel and the world at large from the agency's more
than sixty-year history, among them: the capture of Adolf Eichmann,
the eradication of Black September, the destruction of the Syrian
nuclear facility, and the elimination of key Iranian nuclear
scientists.
Through intensive research and exclusive interviews with Israeli
leaders and Mossad agents, authors Michael Bar-Zohar and Nissim
Mishal re-create these missions in riveting detail, vividly
bringing to life the heroic operatives who risked everything in the
face of unimaginable danger. In the words of Shimon Peres,
president of Israel, this gripping, white-knuckle read "tells what
should have been known and isn't--that Israel's hidden force is as
formidable as its recognized physical strength."

Michael Bar untersucht Strukturen von Containerseehafen im
Ostseeraum, denn Containerterminals sind wichtige Schnittstellen
bei der raumlichen Ausdehnung weltweit organisierter
Transportlogistikablaufe. Der Autor nimmt eine Analyse zur
logistischen Integration von Containerterminals des
Schifffahrtsgebiets Ostseeraum als Schnittstellen in
internationalen Transportlogistikablaufen vor und zieht dabei
Ansatze zur Erklarung globaler Wertschoepfungs- und Warenketten
heran. Das verbindende Element ergibt sich aus der Annahme, dass
kettenartige Transportablaufe mit Aussagen dieser theoretischen
Erklarungsansatze unterlegt werden koennen.

Mittelstandler eine AG grunden sollten und was sie dabei beachten
mussen, um erfolgreich zu sein.
To perform better in any situation - in your career, hobbies,
relationships, or in any facet of your life - it is critical to
develop psychological skills, which, just like physical abilities,
can be taught, learned, and practiced. Both as individuals and as
groups, we can tone these psychological skills and use them to
heighten awareness, foster talents and technical abilities, and
reach peak performance. Mental preparedness and psychological
awareness are the keys to thriving in any environment. Few
understand the importance of psychological skills better than the
internationally recognized professor Michael Bar-Eli. As both a
sports and organizational psychologist for more than 35 years,
Bar-Eli has not only researched the science of performance but has
also worked directly with elite athletes, coaches, and teams to
help them improve their success on the court or field. Boost! takes
the lessons he's learned from sports psychology and translates them
for leaders and managers at any stage in their career. With
prescriptive advice, Bar-Eli illustrates how anyone can apply these
lessons to better support and inspire co-workers and employees and
create a sustainable, successful working environment and business.
Boost! breaks down the complex behavioral science of getting ahead.
Through original scientific research, unique case studies, and
anecdotes from the world of sports and beyond, Bar-Eli explains the
psychological underpinnings of human behavior and how we can
harness this knowledge to perform at our highest levels, succeeding
in our careers and personal lives.
