 Optimization Methods for a Stakeholder Society: A Revolution in Economic Thinking by Multi-objective Optimization by Willem K. Brauers English | PDF | 2004 | 329 Pages | ISBN : 1402076819 | 23.2 MB For both public and private managers, the book Optimization Methods for a Stakeholder Society is today's key to answer the problem of a sustainable development world. This world has to take into account the meaning of all stakeholders involved and has to reconcile a number of objectives, such as economic growth, employment and preservation of the ecosystem. Traditional methods, such as cost-benefit, are outmoded as they translate all these objectives into monetary costs, a materialistic approach. On the contrary, objectives have rather to stick to their own units, eventually indicators.

Operation 'Torch' North Africa: Then and Now English | 2021 | ISBN: 1870067967 | 312 Pages | EPUB | 54 MB When the western Allies decided to launch a second front in North Africa, they carefully considered the anti-British feeling left in France by the ill-advised attack by the Royal Navy on the French Fleet at Mers el Kébir in July 1940. Consequently, the operation was given an American rather than a British complexion, General Eisenhower was chosen to lead a mostly American force into battle and the major Royal Navy contribution was kept as inconspicuous as possible. This operation marked the first time that American troops fought against German forces during the Second World War. They had a rough baptism of fire in southern Tunisia in February 1943, training, equipment and leadership failed in many instances to meet the requirements of the battlefield, but the US Army was quick to learn and revise army doctrines, particularly with respect to the use of armor. The successful campaign created thousands of seasoned soldiers of all ranks whose experience would prove decisive in subsequent campaigns. The next test was only two months away - the invasion of Sicily. In addition, Operation 'Torch' brought the French army back into the war. Most important of all, the Allies had seized the initiative in the West.

Off-Grid Solar Electrification in Africa : A Critical Perspective by Nathanael Ojong English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031138244 | 389 Pages | True ePUB | 6.94 MB  Notes from Underground By Fyodor Dostoevsky; Richard Pevear; Larissa Volokhonsky 2004 | 136 Pages | ISBN: 067973452X | PDF | 1 MB Dostoevsky's most revolutionary novel, Notes from Underground marks the dividing line between nineteenth- and twentieth-century fiction, and between the visions of self each century embodied. One of the most remarkable characters in literature, the unnamed narrator is a former official who has defiantly withdrawn into an underground existence. In complete retreat from society, he scrawls a passionate, obsessive, self-contradictory narrative that serves as a devastating attack on social utopianism and an assertion of man's essentially irrational nature.Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, whose Dostoevsky translations have become the standard, give us a brilliantly faithful edition of this classic novel, conveying all the tragedy and tormented comedy of the original.
