        The Story of the Good King Alexander the Great

        Ein Ritterroman über Alexander den Großen

        by Angelica Rieger

        No figure in ancient history gave rise to so many mythical fantasies as Alexander the Great (356-323 BC). Soon after his mysterious death, legends about his adventurous life started to flourish with a rich production of codexes, the most valuable of which were beautifully illustrated by miniatures. The sumptuous manuscript that is covered in this volume contains a version of the story in prose of ‘the Good King Alexander’ – the ‘Ystoire du Bon Roi Alexandre’ in ancient French. It was acquired by the Hamilton Collection in 1882 and is currently kept in the Kupferstichkabinett of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin Preussischer Kulturbesitz, under the marking 78 C 1.

        The Autobiography of David Armstrong

        by Pat Symes

        Like many gifted footballers of the seventies and eighties, the story told by legendary Middlesbrough, Southampton and England winger David Armstrong includes some spectacular ups and downs; but the speed and ferocity of his personal rollercoaster ride are surely unique. Starting out at Leeds, David resisted signing for Don Revie - later followed by Clough's Forest and Manchester United. He played an incredible 356 consecutive matches for Middlesbrough before being forced out after ten years. On to Saints with Keegan, Ball and Channon - and more near misses in the league and cup. Armstrong's promising England career was sadly curtailed by a falling-out with Bobby Robson - and just four years later he was forced to sign on the dole. The break-up of his first marriage, his desperate desire for an ankle amputation and bailiffs at the door lend David's riches-to-rags story of stardom and poverty a human appeal far beyond football.

        Cranswick on Porsche

        A modern interpretation of the Porsche story

        by Marc Cranswick

        Before yesterday's dream car became today's SUV, the reputation of Porsche as a manufacturer of fine sports cars was established. It started with the ideas of Dr Ferdinand Porsche, and a world best seller that spawned a revered line of sports cars. The Porsche 356 and 911 dominated their classes in international racing, leading to more specialized designs that brought glory to the marque, most famously at Le Mans. Porsche's success was based on excellent engineering. The firm's design consultancy has brought automotive innovation. Such excellence has been centered upon Weissach, the go to place for companies needing a high tech helping hand. Commercial achievement is based on image too. Here, Porsche has carefully chosen its models, and the way they have been sold and promoted. The result, is a unique position in public perception and media coverage. Even during the golden air-cooled era, Porsche wasn't afraid to experiment. The Square Porsche and front-engined coupés, all courted controversy. However, Zuffenhausen believed a Porsche was a Porsche, and soon others did too. The company's tremendous influence in design and engineering has even inspired artistic creation. Like the cars, these artworks represent an inseparable combination of style and substance.

        Terrorism for Self Glorification

        The Herostratos Syndrome

        by Albert Borowitz (author)

        Examines the motives of terrorists, from ancient Greece to the present day“A unique work of. . . history, made all the more interesting by its relevance to the time in which we live.” —James R. Elkins, editor of Legal Studies ForumIn this timely study of the roots of terrorism, author Albert Borowitz deftly assesses the phenomenon of violent crime motivated by a craving for notoriety or self-glorification. He traces this particular brand of terrorism back to 356 BCE and the destruction of the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus by arsonist Herostratos and then examines similar crimes through history to the present time, detailing many examples of what the author calls the “Herostratos Syndrome,” such as the attempted explosion of the Greenwich Observatory in 1894, the Taliban’s destruction of the giant Buddhas in Afghanistan, the assassination of John Lennon, the Unabomber strikes, and the attacks on the World Trade Center buildings.The study of terrorism requires interdisciplinary inquiry. Proving that terrorism cannot be the exclusive focus of a single field of scholarship, Borowitz presents this complex subject using sources based in religion, philosophy, history, Greek mythology, and world literature, including works of Chaucer, Cervantes, Mark Twain, and Jean-Paul Sartre.Terrorism for Self-Glorification, written in clear and direct prose, is original, thorough, and thought provoking. Scholars, specialists, and general readers will find their understanding of terrorism greatly enhanced by this book.

        Liderazgo centrado en la persona

        La propuesta de Carlos Llano

        by Murcio Rodríguez, Ricardo

        La tarea de dirigir tiene un lugar preponderante en la empresa. Carlos Llano fue pionero en el estudio de la acción directiva, en un contexto que ya buscaba una renovación en las teorías del management. Para Llano, la dirección de empresas –y, por lo tanto, de las personas que en ellas laboran– no puede reducirse a un sistema, sino que debe respetar la naturaleza física, espiritual, racional y libre de todo ser humano. Con robustas bases antropológicas, Llano plantea un nuevo modelo de gestión basado en la flexibilidad y la participación, que hace de la empresa un lugar de desarrollo de la persona que contribuye a la construcción de una mejor sociedad. Llano vislumbró que este nuevo paradigma requiere un nuevo estilo de liderazgo, uno que –centrado en la persona– concibe la dirección como un servicio. Este libro rastrea los fundamentos teóricos de su propuesta. Carlos Llano ha sido el pensador que mejor ha sabido integrar filosofía y management. A través de los conceptos perennes de la filosofía, nos ofreció una perspectiva única y genuina de la dirección de empresas. En este libro, Ricardo Murcio nos desmenuza el pensamiento de su profesor y maestro, y nos vuelve a recordar que el centro de la actividad empresarial y de la toma de decisiones deben ser las personas (Joan Fontrodona, IESE Business School).

        Numerical Methods and Models in Earth Science

        by Parthasarathi Ghosh

        "Understanding earth systems and its dynamic behavior requires objective insights into the complex observational data sets and their interrelationships. Drawing meaningful inferences from such data is not always an easy task as the deterministic relationships between various geological variables often remain obscured. These interrelationships need to be determined empirically through the analysis of a large set of data and validated through numerical simulations. The ever widening horizon of techniques of numerical analysis and simulation now provides a good number of tools to aid the interpretation. However, due to the inherent complexity of earth science data, expert supervision is required at all stages of analysis from collection to dissemination. This ensures that the most appropriate methodology is adopted and the results remain consistent with the geological principles. Discussions on these practical issues often lie beyond the scope of textbooks and this is precisely where this book is placed. In this book eminent geoscientists present their experiences in analyzing and managing earth science data as well as in designing numerical models to simulate earth processes. Apart from giving a discourse of their own approach towards a particular research problem they also discuss at length the relative merits of alternative methodologies. These seven authoritative articles, richly illustrated, will be a valuable resource for research students and professionals interested in research and teaching in various branches of earth science like, tectonics, GPS geodesy, sedimentology, geographical information science, and evolutionary biology."
