The seventy-fifth anniversary edition, with a new introduction by
Anthony Quinn. 'I recommend Hamilton at every opportunity, because
he was such a wonderful writer and yet is rather under-read today.
All his novels are terrific' Sarah Waters 'If you were looking to
fly from Dickens to Martin Amis with just one overnight stop, then
Hamilton is your man' Nick Hornby Patrick Hamilton's novels were
the inspiration for Matthew Bourne's new dance theatre production,
The Midnight Bell. London, 1939, and in the grimy publands of Earls
Court, George Harvey Bone is pursuing a helpless infatuation. Netta
is cool, contemptuous and hopelessly desirable to George. George is
adrift in a drunken hell, except in his 'dead' moments, when
something goes click in his head and he realises, without a doubt,
that he must kill her. In the darkly comic Hangover Square Patrick
Hamilton brilliantly evokes a seedy, fog-bound world of saloon
bars, lodging houses and boozing philosophers, immortalising the
slang and conversational tone of a whole generation and capturing
the premonitions of doom that pervaded London life in the months
before the war.
'All his novels are terrific, but this one is my favourite' Sarah
Waters Patrick Hamilton's novels were the inspiration for Matthew
Bourne's new dance theatre production, The Midnight Bell. Measuring
out the wartime days in a small town on the Thames, Miss Roach is
not unattractive but no longer quite young. The Rosamund Tea Rooms
boarding house, where she lives with half a dozen others, is as
grey and lonely as its residents. For Miss Roach, 'slave of her
task-master, solitude', a shaft of not altogether welcome light is
suddenly beamed upon her, with the appearance of a charismatic and
emotional American Lieutenant. With him comes change - tipping the
precariously balanced society of the house and presenting Miss
Roach herself with a dilemma.
'If you were looking to fly from Dickens to Martin Amis with just
one overnight stop, then Hamilton is your man' Nick Hornby 'I
recommend Hamilton at every opportunity, because he was such a
wonderful writer and yet is rather under-read today. All his novels
are terrific' Sarah Waters Patrick Hamilton's novels were the
inspiration for Matthew Bourne's new dance theatre production, The
Midnight Bell. 'Beyond the fact that it was, in face of a vivid and
calamitous ending, to reveal from his own experience the ardent
splendours of Youth's adventure, he didn't quite know what his
novel was going to be about.' Monday Morning wryly tells the story
of Anthony, a young man taking his passionate first steps in life,
in London, and in love. Not yet worn down by the world, Anthony is
determined to write the novel that will bring him fame and fortune
- and to marry the beautiful Diane. Patrick Hamilton's witty,
playful first novel introduces us to the grimy world of
metropolitan boarding houses and provincial theatrical digs that
would be the setting for his later masterpieces Hangover Square and
The Slaves of Solitude, and the hopes, dreams and regrets those who
live there.
Seit Jahrzehnten ist der Softwarebau in der Krise. Immer noch
gehen etwa die Halfte aller in der IT-Produktion eingesetzten
Mittel verloren. Angekundigte Programme verzogern sich oder bleiben
hinter den Erwartungen zuruck.
Muss das so sein? Die These dieses Werkes lautet: die Ursachen
hierfur sind in den dem Softwarebau zugrunde liegenden Paradigmen
zu suchen. Statt den Blick in erster Linie auf eingesetzte Technik,
Best Practices oder Prozesse zu werfen, betreibt der Autor im Sinne
des Total Quality Managements Ursachenforschung und stellt die
Denk- und Arbeitsweisen der Entwickler auf den Prufstand. Dabei
hinterfragt er zugrunde gelegte Annahmen, fahndet nach neuen
Losungsparadigmen und ubertragt diese auf industrietaugliche
Arbeitskonzepte. In einem interdisziplinaren Ansatz wird
dargestellt, wie Software effizienter, kostengunstiger und
qualitativ besser werden kann, weil Mitarbeiter gelernt haben, die
anstehenden Aufgaben ganzheitlich zu bewaltigen.
