 Jim Korkis, Bob McLain, Werner Weiss, "More Secret Stories of Walt Disney World: More Things You Never Knew You Never Knew, Volume 2" English | 2016 | ISBN: 1683900227 | 204 pages | EPUB | 0.54 MB Oh, You Didn't Know...  Modern Times: India 1880s-1950s (Environment, Economy, Culture) By Sumit Sarkar 2014 | 476 Pages | ISBN: 8178244705 | PDF | 9 MB Much has changed in the world of South Asian history-writing since Sumit Sarkars renowned classic, Modern India (1983). The passage of thirty years having rendered that work thoroughly dated, the futility of any attempt to revise it became increasingly clear to me, especially as over this period my own historical perspectives took new and unexpected directions, says the author. The present work is an entirely fresh view of the same period.Focusing on three huge areas - Economy, Environment and Culture - Professor Sarkar offers his magisterial perspective on these.Scientific discourses, laws, forest administration, peasants and adivasis, irrigation and conflicts over land-use are examined, as are agrarian relations, commercialization, indebtedness and famine. Trade, finance and industry are other major focus areas.Modern urban India is scrutinized via the literature on its big cities. Sociabilities, caste configurations and public culture (Theater, cinema and sports) are discussed, as are literature, dance, music and painting.In conclusion, says Professor Sarkar, 'I have within each chapter incorporated the relevant historiographical developments, changes and debates. Separate bibliographical sections will I hope facilitate the work of teachers and students.  Zoe Sherman, "Modern Advertising and the Market for Audience Attention: The US Advertising Industry's Turn-of-the-Twentieth-Century Transition" English | ISBN: 1138201545 | 2019 | 186 pages | PDF | 1270 KB Modern advertising was created in the US between 1870 and 1920 when advertisers and the increasingly specialized advertising industry that served them crafted means of reliable access to and knowledge of audiences.  Tim Cumming, "Messing Up the Paintwork: The Wit and Wisdom of Mark E. Smith" English | 2018 | ISBN: 1785039857 | 192 pages | MOBI | 18.5 MB If its me and your granny on bongos, its The Fall.As legendary frontman of post-punk outfit The Fall, Mark E. Smith was known as much for his mercurial temperament as his exceptional musical talent. Famous for his singular way with words both onstage and off, his road to the music hall of fame was paved with brilliant one-liners, eccentric behaviour, and the dozens of members of The Fall he ejected along the way. Collecting his wit and wisdom for the first time and featuring an introduction from Stuart Maconie, Messing Up the Paintwork is a tribute to a musical icon described as untouchably cool (Lauren Laverne), an uncompromising musical maverick (Tim Burgess) and a man shouting from a prison window (Frank Skinner). And its a book for the fans who will miss him terribly.  G T Kneebone, "Mathematical Logic and the Foundations of Mathematics: An Introductory Survey" English | ISBN: 0442043546 | 1963 | 452 pages | DJVU | 5 MB [center]  Managing Your Career: A Practical Guide (Management) by Sorin Dumitrascu English | May 25, 2017 | ISBN: 1521375399 | 138 pages | EPUB | 0.17 Mb The world of work has undergone remarkable changes in the recent past. Mergers, offshoring, downsizing, and technology have all come together to effect enormous changes in what were once fairly predictable environments.For example, do you remember when these things were common assumptions about the workplace? Working 9 to 5, operating by the book, and keeping your nose to the grindstone. A hierarchical chain of command was the norm, it was commonly believed that the company knows best, and there was a notion that once people were trained they were forever educated.Well, times have changed and those assumptions are no longer true. Select each statement describing how work used to be to learn how it translates today. The whole notion of what a career is has changed. Having a career used to mean fitting into the ranks of a single profession, industry, or company and moving up one step at a time. The company decided when you were ready to move.Nowadays, the traditional career path still exists, but the notion of what constitutes a career is more fluid and individualistic. The individual decides when it's time to move. And, as a last resort, the next step may even be a job hop to another company.With all of this freedom, however, comes complications. You are responsible for making your own career choices, and it's not always clear which way offers the straightest path toward your goal.For this reason, you need to take stock of where you are now and where you want to be. Then, establish a career plan. Your plan is your personal map that leads you through the confusing and often difficult decisions you need to make in order to achieve your career goals.In this course, the process for creating your career plan will be explained. The first topic will cover how to take an inventory of your values, interests, skills, and lifestyle aspirations. The second topic will help you to identify your strengths and weaknesses. In the third topic, you'll pull it all together and develop a career plan that's based on your individual attributes and what you want to achieve in your career.Think about your career up to this point. Have you drifted along like a passenger in a boat, going wherever the currents of life take you? Or have you taken intentional steps and been proactive about guiding the direction your career path takes?Every so often, you should step back and give some serious thought about whether your career is on track. Are you heading in a direction you're happy with? Are you on a path that will help you reach your goals?If the answer to either of these questions is "no," you should seriously explore your career options. In fact, exploring all potential options is an important part of staying on the right track with your career. So what are your options? Well, you can move up when you're on the right path. Or you can move over when the right path exists elsewhere in your company. Finally, you can move on when your company doesn't offer any path that will help you reach your goals.
