  Greek to GCSE: Part 1 (eBook, PDF)

  First written in response to a JACT survey of over 100 schools, and now endorsed by OCR, this textbook has become a standard resource for students in the UK and for readers across the world who are looking for a clear and thorough introduction to the language of the ancient Greeks. Revised throughout and enhanced by coloured artwork and text features, this edition will support the new OCR specification for Classical Greek (first teaching 2016).Part 1 covers the basics and is self-contained, with its own reference section. It covers the main declensions, a range of active tenses and a vocabulary of 250 Greek words to be learned. Pupil confidence is built up by constant consolidation of the material covered. After the preliminaries, each chapter concentrates on stories with one source or subject: Aesop, Homer's Odyssey and Alexander the Great, providing an excellent introduction to Greek culture alongside the language study. Written by a long-time school teacher and examiner, this two-part course is based on experience of what pupils find difficult, concentrating on the essentials and on the understanding of principles in both accidence and syntax: minor irregularities are postponed and subordinated so that the need for rote learning is reduced. It aims to be user-friendly, but also to give pupils a firm foundation for further study.

  Summary Of "Private And National Economy In Argentina" By Friedrich List (UNIVERSITY SUMMARIES) (eBook, ePUB)

  We have summarized here the essential of this book by the author.PRIVATE AND NATIONAL ECONOMY IN ARGENTINACHAPTER 14 THE PRIVATE ECONOMY AND THE NATIONAL ECONOMYWe have proven that national unity is the essential condition for lasting prosperity; we have verified how only where private interest has been subordinated to public interest have peoples reached a harmonious development of their productive forces.We will now show how the liberal school has masked its lack of understanding of national interests and the effects of the association of national forces, confusing the maxims of private economy with those of public economy.Adam Smith, the main representative of the school, says that pursuing nothing but his own interest each individual necessarily works for the interest of society.The politician who intends to direct individuals in the use of their capital, would assume an authority over the producer that does not correspond to him.Smith considers that commercial relations aimed at promoting the country's industry are absurd; that the nation must, like the individual, buy where it finds the cheapest price, and to achieve the highest degree of public welfare one only has to follow the maxim of laissez faire, laissez passer.He compares a nation that would like to stimulate its industry with the help of protective rights to a shoemaker who would set up a toll at his doorstep in order to increase his wealth.

  Blitzkrieg: The History and Legacy of Nazi Germany’s Lightning Warfare at the Start of World War II , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 108min

  “In this year, 1929, I became convinced that tanks working on their own or in conjunction with infantry could never achieve decisive importance. My historical studies, the exercises carried out in England, and our own experience with mock-ups had persuaded me that the tanks would never be able to produce their full effect until the other weapons on whose support they must inevitably rely were brought up to their standard of speed and of cross-country performance. In such formation of all arms, the tanks must play primary role, the other weapons beings subordinated to the requirements of the armour. It would be wrong to include tanks in infantry divisions; what was needed were armoured divisions which would include all the supporting arms needed to allow the tanks to fight with full effect.” (Heinz Guderian) War has always been a competition between defense and offense. At times these two have been relatively balanced, but at other times, one becomes far more powerful. It is during those times that the greatest military innovations occur.   The tank was first developed by the British and French during World War I as a means to break the deadlock on the Western Front. More so than any previous war, the balance of power lay with the defense, as machine guns, trenches, bunkers, barbed wire, and rapid-firing rifles all made frontal assaults on established positions prohibitively costly. In the closing months of the war, the tank partially evened up that balance, even as the war’s commanders initially proved unsure of how to use them. While it cannot be said that the tank won the war, it contributed to its end and if the fighting had continued another year, the mass production that had started in Allied countries may have proved decisive.   ungekürzt.

  Verizon Untethered: An Insider's Story of Innovation and Disruption , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 638min

  This is a history of the transformation of Verizon and the telecommunications industry told through the eyes of founding CEO Ivan Seidenberg and his leadership team, with highlights and commentary from best-selling global leadership guru Ram Charan. "The Verizon leadership team stands apart from most leadership teams today in their willingness repeatedly to put the enterprise before the individual. At first blush, this might look like a hopelessly old-fashioned notion in the age of the selfie. Yet I would argue this is a trait that future leaders and boards of directors across industries would do well to understand and embrace. Seidenberg not once but twice in the service of company shareholders and employees subordinated himself and put off taking sole leadership of the company to advance the enterprise's odds of success. And many others in this story exhibited the same trait to help build this industry-leading enterprise. They understood that the risk of not acting and thereby destroying value during a period of accelerating technological change and industry consolidation - a situation faced by leadership teams around the world today - was much greater than the risk of stepping in as number two or co-CEO. In my fifty years of experience, it is a rare leadership team that will subordinate itself for the benefit of the industry, customers, and the company. That principle-that the company comes first, the individual second-is what will define successful leadership teams of the future. Multiple leadership principles - some new, some timeless - emerge from this narrative and will be of great use to the next generation of leaders across industries and around the world. By taking a look at a company that successfully executed exponential transformation, we can take the strategies of Verizon leaders and apply them to our own experiences." - Ram Charan ungekürzt.

  Thought Force in Business and Everday Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 177min

  In justice to myself, I think it well to state that this work has been somewhat hastily prepared from the notes used by me in certain lectures, the lessons give herein practically being the syllabi of said lectures. In the lectures, and in this work, my one and only purpose has been to acquaint the students with the means of developing and effectively using the mighty forces latent within him - personal magnetism and psychic influence. To this end, I have scarified all pretensions to literary style, all attempts to secure felicity of diction. I have felt that I had a message to deliver, and I endeavored to deliver it promptly, clearly, and plainly, without any attempt at "fine writing". If a homely word seemed to express my thought, I used it. If a slang term or semi-slang phrase seemed to fit in, in it went. I trust that my critics will spare themselves the trouble of pointing out my many defects of style and composition - I fully realize these things. I have subordinated everything else in my endeavor to make this work plain and practical. This is an explanation, not an apology. With the above understanding between us, I submit this little work to your kind consideration. Whilst fully cognizant of its defects, I still feel that it will be helpful to some of the many who are endeavoring to overcome unfavorable environments, for which it may serve as a guidepost, pointing out the past to better things. I feel that it will do its share of the work of removing fear thought from the minds of men, of replacing "I can't" with "I can and I will." I feel that I must do these things, for it contains within it the germs of a mighty truth. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Barry J. Peterson.

  State and Politics: Deleuze and Guattari on Marx

  A detailed analysis of how Deleuze and Guattari's work engaged with the upheavals of their time. Often approached through their micropolitics of desire, the joint works of Deleuze and Guattari are rarely part of the discussion when classical and contemporary problems of political thought come under scrutiny. Yet if we follow the trajectory from Anti-Oedipus (1972) to A Thousand Plateaus (1980), it becomes clear that these problems were redeveloped during a period of historical transition marked by the end of the wars of decolonization, the transformation of global capitalism, and by recombinations of the forces of collective resistance that were as deep as they were uncertain.In State and Politics, Guillaume Sibertin-Blanc measures how Deleuze and Guattari engage with the upheavals of their time by confronting their thought with its main interlocutor, Marxism, with its epistemological field (historical materialism), with its critical program (the critique of political economy), and with its political grammar (class struggle). Three new hypotheses emerge from these encounters: the hypothesis of the Urstaat, embodying an excess of sovereign violence over the State apparatus and over its political investments; the hypothesis of a power of the war machine that States can only ever appropriate partially, and to which they can be subordinated; and the hypothesis of an excess of destructivism in capitalist accumulation over its productive organization. These three excesses betray the haunting presence of the period between the wars in the political thought of Deleuze and Guattari, but they also allow Deleuze and Guattari's ideas to communicate with contemporary thinkers of the impolitical. The reader discovers not only a new political theory but also the plurality of ways in which extreme violence violence capable of destroying politics itself can arise.
