 Understanding and Managing Strategic Governance by Wei Shi, Robert E. Hoskisson English | August 10th, 2021 | ISBN: 1119798256 | 320 pages | True EPUB | 2.78 MB Explore the interplay between corporate governance and strategic decision-making in this startling new resource  Understanding Cyber Conflict: 14 Analogies By George Perkovich; Ariel E. Levite 2017 | 310 Pages | ISBN: 1626164983 | PDF | 9 MB Cyber weapons and the possibility of cyber conflict ― including interference in foreign political campaigns, industrial sabotage, attacks on infrastructure, and combined military campaigns ― require policymakers, scholars, and citizens to rethink twenty-first-century warfare. Yet because cyber capabilities are so new and continually developing, there is little agreement about how they will be deployed, how effective they can be, and how they can be managed.Written by leading scholars, the fourteen case studies in this volume will help policymakers, scholars, and students make sense of contemporary cyber conflict through historical analogies to past military-technological problems. The chapters are divided into three groups. The first ― What Are Cyber Weapons Like? ― examines the characteristics of cyber capabilities and how their use for intelligence gathering, signaling, and precision striking compares with earlier technologies for such missions. The second section ― What Might Cyber Wars Be Like? ― explores how lessons from several wars since the early nineteenth century, including the World Wars, could apply ― or not ― to cyber conflict in the twenty-first century. The final section ― What Is Preventing and/or Managing Cyber Conflict Like? ― offers lessons from past cases of managing threatening actors and technologies.

Ruth Barrons Roosevelt, "Twelve Habitudes of Highly Successful Traders" English | 2016 | ISBN: 1519587481 | 122 pages | PDF | 1.7 MB [center]  Transnational Solidarity: Concept, Challenges and Opportunities by Helle Krunke, Hanne Petersen English | Jul 9, 2020 | ISBN: 110848736X | 438 pages | PDF | 4 MB The book analyses the concept and conditions of transnational solidarity, its challenges and opportunities, drawing on diverse disciplines as Law, Political Science, Sociology, Philosophy, Psychology and History. In the contemporary world, we see two major opposing trends. The first involves nationalistic and populistic movements. Transnational solidarity has been under pressure for a decade because of, among others, global economic and migration crises, leading to populistic and authoritarian leadership in some European countries, the United States and Brazil. Countries withdraw from international commitments on climate, trade and refugees and the European Union struggles with Brexit. The second trend, partly a reaction to the first, is a strengthened transnational grass-root community - a cosmopolitan movement - which protests primarily against climate change. Based on interdisciplinary reflections on the concept of transnational solidarity, its challenges and opportunities are analysed, drawing on Europe as a focal case study for a broader, global perspective.

This Is Cuba: An American Journalist Under Castro's Shadow By David Ariosto 2018 | 304 Pages | ISBN: 1250176972 | EPUB | 10 MB Fidel Castro is dead. Donald Trump was elected president. And to most outsiders, the fate of Cuba has never seemed more uncertain. Yet those who look close enough may recognize that signs of the next revolution are etched in plain view.This is Cuba is a true story that begins in the summer of 2009 when a young American photo-journalist is offered the chance of a lifetime―a two-year assignment in Havana.For David Ariosto, the island is an intriguing new world, unmoored from the one he left behind. From neighboring military coups, suspected honey traps, salty spooks, and desperate migrants to dissidents, doctors, and Havana's empty shelves, Ariosto uncovers the island's subtle absurdities, its Cold War mystique, and the hopes of a people in the throes of transition. Beyond the classic cars, salsa, and cigars lies a country in which black markets are ubiquitous, free speech is restricted, privacy is curtailed, sanctions wreak havoc, and an almost Kafka-esque goo of Soviet-style bureaucracy still slows the gears of an economy desperate to move forward.But life in Cuba is indeed changing, as satellite dishes and internet hotspots dot the landscape and more Americans want in. Still, it's not so simple. The old sentries on both sides of the Florida Straits remain at their posts, fists clenched and guarding against the specter of a Cold War that never quite ended, despite the death of Fidel and the hand-over of the presidency to a man whose last name isn't Castro.And now, a crisis is brewing.In This Is Cuba, Ariosto looks at Cuba from the inside-out over the course of nine years, endeavoring to expose clues for what's in store for the island as it undergoes its biggest change in more than half a century.  The ten pillars of pragmatic Kubernetes deployments with Octopus Deploy by Matthew Casperson English | March 29, 2021 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0916MQ7XZ | 220 pages | EPUB | 3.47 Mb As you might imagine, at Octopus, we spend a great deal of time thinking about deployments. Octopus was born to manage real world deployment processes and continues to be shaped through conversations with customers, support requests, our own internal deployment requirements, and many other discussions about what we think good deployments look like. This knowledge has been distilled into the 10 pillars of pragmatic deployments.  The Welfare of Invertebrate Animals by Claudio Carere English | EPUB | 2019 | 248 Pages | ISBN : 3030139468 | 22.5 MB This book is devoted to the welfare of invertebrates, which make up 99% of animal species on earth. Addressing animal welfare, we do not often think of invertebrates; in fact we seldom consider them to be deserving of welfare evaluation. And yet we should. Welfare is a broad concern for any animal that we house, control or utilize - and we utilize invertebrates a lot. |
