Out of The Box: Strategies for Achieving Profits Today and Growth Tomorrow Through Web Services By John Hagel III, John Seely Brown 2002 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 1578516803 | PDF | 3 MB The best decisions are always those which create the highest ROI. Certainly companies that do no make good decisions end up with marginal ROI when compared to those who make better decisions.Anyways, that was just my take on how this book was written. The longer a consultant talks or causes you to read the more money they get...pure and simple. I was hoping that this book would offer something concrete, but instead it was lots of rhetoric about Process Networks, Web Services, Boxes within Boxes, etc. I'm sure that this works fine if you have 200 other consultants to mull over the nuances of each possible detail as they relate to the whole, but c'mon. I must admit that John Seely Brown pointed out that this book would "NOT" offer the how to, but more of a how'd they do that? question that lingers for 200 pages. I gave it an additional star for stating that in the foreword.Well, let's cut to the chase! This book offers ok theory at a space station level...I think it's 273 miles...maybe 272. If you want to here of practical examples that demonstrate the power of web services at sea-level...this is "NOT" the book to read. Thank goodness I only borrowed this book from the library. I'm going to exchange it tomorrow for an ISV book and an Evanesense CD...that group rocks.  Kristian Williams, "Our Enemies in Blue: Police and Power in America" English | 2015 | pages: 592 | ISBN: 1849352151 | EPUB | 3,2 mb Let's begin with the basics: violence is an inherent part of policing. The police represent the most direct means by which the state imposes its will on the citizenry. They are armed, trained, and authorized to use force. Like the possibility of arrest, the threat of violence is implicit in every police encounter. Violence, as well as the law, is what they represent.  Michael Mark Woolfson, "On the Origin of Planets: By Means of Natural Simple Processes" English | ISBN: 1848165986 | 2010 | 502 pages | PDF | 4 MB The book begins with a historical review of four major theories for the origin of the Solar System in particular, or of planets in general, which highlight the major problems that need to be solved by any plausible theory. In many theories, including that which form the major theme of this book, the formation of planets and stars is intimately linked, so four chapters are devoted to the processes that can be described as the birth, life and death of stars.Recent observations that have revealed the existence of planets around many Sun-like stars are described in detail, followed by a clear exposition of the Capture Theory for the origin of planets. Many aspects of this theory are illustrated with sophisticated computer modelling that convincingly demonstrates the plausibility of the theory. The Capture Theory is in complete accord with all observations, including the estimate it gives for the proportion of Sun-like stars with planets. It is the only theory that sits comfortably with all present observational and theoretical constraints.The general theory of planet formation does not explain the detailed structure of the Solar System. An early postulated collision of two major planets is shown to explain many disparate features of the Solar System the nature of the terrestrial planets, surface features of the Moon and its relationship with Earth, asteroids, comets and dwarf planets, the relationship between Neptune, Triton and Pluto and the characteristics of meteorites, including the isotopic anomalies found in them. The postulate of a planetary collision is given support by a 2009 NASA observation of the residue of such an event around a distant young star. |
