Download or read book Zone of Action written by Kirk G Warner and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-10 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zone of Action is a front-row seat to major combat operations, leadership, tragedy, and nation-building. These are the war-theater observations of a senior Army JAG constantly in the thick of the war, the occupation, and the Iraqi community. He tells the inside-the-war-room story of Operation COBRA II and Iraqi Freedom during the march to Baghdad and the nation-building beyond. It details his official and inner journeys and those of soldiers and Iraqis encountered along the way. It reveals the sacrifice of many unsung heroes and the challenges of liberating and occupying a broken country. It shows the character of our soldiers and leaders . . . and the occasional lack of it. But above all things, it is an honest, often humorous romp through war by someone deep in the arena.
Download or read book Firms of Endearment written by Rajendra Sisodia and published by Pearson Prentice Hall. This book was released on 2003-01-30 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today’s best companies get it. From Costco® to Commerce Bank, Wegmans to Whole Foods®: they’re becoming the ultimate value creators. They’re generating every form of value that matters: emotional, experiential, social, and financial. And they’re doing it for all their stakeholders. Not because it’s “politically correct”: because it’s the only path to long-term competitive advantage. These are the Firms of Endearment. Companies people love doing business with. Love partnering with. Love working for. Love investing in. Companies for whom “loyalty” isn’t just real: it’s palpable, and driving unbeatable advantages in everything from marketing to recruitment. You need to become one of those companies. This book will show you how. You’ll find specific, practical guidance on transforming every relationship you have: with customers, associates, partners, investors, and society. If you want to be great—truly great—this is your blueprint. We’re entering an Age of Transcendence, as people increasingly search for higher meaning in their lives, not just more possessions. This is transforming the marketplace, the workplace, the very soul of capitalism. Increasingly, today’s most successful companies are bringing love, joy, authenticity, empathy, and soulfulness into their businesses: they are delivering emotional, experiential, and social value–not just profits. Firms of Endearment illuminates this, the most fundamental transformation in capitalism since Adam Smith. It’s not about “corporate social responsibility”: it’s about building companies that can sustain success in a radically new era. It’s about great companies like IDEO and IKEA®, Commerce Bank and Costco®, Wegmans and Whole Foods®: how they earn the powerful loyalty and affection that enables truly breathtaking performance. This book is about gaining “share of heart,” not just share of wallet. It’s about aligning stakeholders’ interests, not just juggling them. It’s about building companies that leave the world a better place. Most of all, it’s about why you must do all this, or risk being left in the dust... and how to get there from wherever you are now.
Download or read book Law School written by Thane J. Messinger and published by Fine Print Press, Limited. This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To get straight to the point, Law School: Getting In, Getting Good, Getting the Gold ("GGG") is, without a doubt, one of the most important law school and legal career books currently available. There are, of course, other guides that have made a huge impact in the market for such materials; "Planet Law School" (which is now PLS II) and "Law School Confidential" are two that immediately spring to mind, and which the prospective law student has most likely heard of. But whereas PLS and LSC are rather practical in nature, which is not in itself a bad thing because being led through the practicalities of applying to law school, preparing, studying, finding jobs and so forth are obviously important, GGG offers all this and so much more. Not more of the same, however, although GGG does cover standard material such as rankings and taking exams, and thankfully chooses to omit the tedious and common-sense generic topics such as how to apply for financial aid and how to pick upper level courses during 2L/3L, while emphasizing the important subjects such as the LSAT. There is little room in the market for a mere copycat comprehensive law school guide, and GGG recognizes this. What sets GGG apart from - and above - PLS and LSC is that the author, Thane Messinger, has taken considerable care to help the reader think about the traditional basic (but solid) law school advice, rather than just absorb it, and explains to the reader why the advice is given and why it is important. Furthermore, GGG even encourages a healthy skepticism in its readers, challenging them to explore their own reasons for attending law school, whether they would truly enjoy a legal career, and where they want to end up when all is said and done. In other words, GGG treats its readers like intelligent grown-ups who are looking for more than platitudes and third-hand advice, instead of mere young adults who are too inexperienced to know what they want. This alone is refreshing in a sea of "do this and you''ll succeed" books, none of which actually work in real life. GGG is a lengthy book, coming in at close to four hundred pages. Even for a comprehensive guide, this is a generously-proportioned piece of work. While it can be read in its entirety, as I have spent the past week doing, the author encourages the reader to use the book in a more efficient manner, focusing in on those sections which are most important to the reader at any particular time. Some comprehensive guide books tend to build upon earlier sections in a linear progression, making it all but impossible to dip in and out at will. Readers of GGG will be pleasantly surprised at the structure of the book - discrete sections for each facet of the legal education process, each readable as a stand-alone module or as part of the whole. Modern readers weaned on a diet of hypertext and easy-access to information will appreciate the care that has been taken to make it simple for the book to be used as a brief reference from which information can be quickly gleaned, or for a more in-depth exploration of the topic in question. An example of the author''s attention to efficiency is the summary of each of the three main sections of the book. These elegant summaries barely cover two pages each, but - and I''m not exaggerating here - the summaries are worth their weight in gold, hitting the high points of each section, spelling out what the reader really must know. A law school applicant should, after buying the book, photocopy the summary to the "Getting In" section and tape it to the front of his or her LSAT prep book so it is seen every single day. The same goes for law students, who should tape a copy of the "Getting Good" summary to the wall by their assigned library seat in law school so the advice can be followed each and every time a case book or outline is opened. GGG also stands out from PLS and LSC by virtue of the fact that GGG is a good five years more recent than the others. While much of the advice in PLS and LSC is still relevant, GGG was published recently enough to bear some of the scars of the economic collapse that demolished the legal industry, and from which the legal industry is still slowly recovering from. Not much has changed in legal education over the past decade, but when it comes to legal hiring and how to find work - the goal of every law student - reading up-to-date information is vitally important. Techniques that may have worked in 2000 certainly aren''t as effective today. Think of GGG as a 2.0 version of the standard law school guide. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there''s one particularly compelling reason to buy this book that isn''t mentioned within its pages: The author. Let me explain. Thane Messinger has been heavily involved in the legal education world for many, many, many years. He knows what he''s talking about. He has written books on the subject, edited books on the subject, and seen more great, good, mediocre, bad, and dangerous advice than just about anyone else on this planet. He stands behind his name and stands behind his wisdom. As he states in the introduction to GGG, "it''s difficult to know whether the advice is actually good or not - until it''s taken (or rejected) - by which time it''s usually too late to do anything differently." Thane is your insurance policy against bad advice from an inexperienced author. Law school is an extraordinarily expensive and time-consuming endeavor to screw up. There is so much information available on legal education, both in print and online, and very often, the reputation of the author is ignored in favor of the latest secret tips, techniques and gimmicks for success. There is a difference between taking advice from a recent grad and from a seasoned expert. There''s also a difference between taking advice from an interested party (such as a law school admissions adviser or pre-law counselor) and taking advice from an independent, non-establishment, experienced and impartial expert. GGG is a distillation of Messinger''s expert and independent knowledge, his understanding of what works and what doesn''t work, and his expertise derived from about two decades of carefully watching countless law students succeed and countless law students fail. In short, he knows what he''s talking about, and his advice can be trusted (as can the advice in other books he publishes and edits). And in a modern world where it''s becoming so difficult to figure out who is on your side and who is out to take advantage of you, it''s increasingly rare to find authors such as Messinger who can be relied upon to look after your best interests. If you''re thinking about attending law school, you''re about to make a $100,000 purchase that will affect the rest of your career. Spend the money on this book and give yourself the most up-to-date, independent, insightful and reliable advice available. To do otherwise is madness.

Download or read book Factfulness written by Hans Rosling and published by Flatiron Books. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “One of the most important books I’ve ever read—an indispensable guide to thinking clearly about the world.” – Bill Gates “Hans Rosling tells the story of ‘the secret silent miracle of human progress’ as only he can. But Factfulness does much more than that. It also explains why progress is so often secret and silent and teaches readers how to see it clearly.” —Melinda Gates "Factfulness by Hans Rosling, an outstanding international public health expert, is a hopeful book about the potential for human progress when we work off facts rather than our inherent biases." - Former U.S. President Barack Obama Factfulness: The stress-reducing habit of only carrying opinions for which you have strong supporting facts. When asked simple questions about global trends—what percentage of the world’s population live in poverty; why the world’s population is increasing; how many girls finish school—we systematically get the answers wrong. So wrong that a chimpanzee choosing answers at random will consistently outguess teachers, journalists, Nobel laureates, and investment bankers. In Factfulness, Professor of International Health and global TED phenomenon Hans Rosling, together with his two long-time collaborators, Anna and Ola, offers a radical new explanation of why this happens. They reveal the ten instincts that distort our perspective—from our tendency to divide the world into two camps (usually some version of us and them) to the way we consume media (where fear rules) to how we perceive progress (believing that most things are getting worse). Our problem is that we don’t know what we don’t know, and even our guesses are informed by unconscious and predictable biases. It turns out that the world, for all its imperfections, is in a much better state than we might think. That doesn’t mean there aren’t real concerns. But when we worry about everything all the time instead of embracing a worldview based on facts, we can lose our ability to focus on the things that threaten us most. Inspiring and revelatory, filled with lively anecdotes and moving stories, Factfulness is an urgent and essential book that will change the way you see the world and empower you to respond to the crises and opportunities of the future. --- “This book is my last battle in my life-long mission to fight devastating ignorance...Previously I armed myself with huge data sets, eye-opening software, an energetic learning style and a Swedish bayonet for sword-swallowing. It wasn’t enough. But I hope this book will be.” Hans Rosling, February 2017.
