Fairy tales with lost children (usually in a forest) are widespread. Also these children get into trouble in the woods by ignoring their parents' warnings. But some children with more initiative must have ventured into the forest on purpose and many old ladies lived by doing chores for neighboring peasants. In "Hansel and Gretel in the Enchanted Forest" we find out what may have really happened in that forest.

The Future of the World's Forests

The Future of the World's Forests

At the landmark 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (Earth Summit), solemn resolutions were made both to protect the world’s biodiversity and to co-operate on managing natural forests in a sustainable and ecologically responsible way. If anything, given recent developments in issues such as climate change and poverty, the problem of protecting and sustaining forests should logically have become more important globally. Yet public interest in, and development support for, forest activities have declined and rates of forest loss remain stubbornly high. Why has this happened? This book seeks answers to this question. It examines the often dysfunctional relationships between various members of the international forest constituency, which have so often prevented the formation of consensus. It also explores the tendency to pursue technical and politically convenient ‘fixes’ focused on the internal workings of the forest sector, while ignoring the overwhelming influence of external forces on the fate of forests. The result, all too often, has been programs which benefit a few powerful players and fail to provide real solutions. The book provides a new examination of and perspective on the international forest policy debate. It clarifies the reasons for global forest conflicts and provides insight for future policy development. Including examples from both the developed and developing world, it provides an invaluable resource for researchers and graduate students in forest policy and international relations, as well as a useful reference for policymakers and professionals in the forest sector, the development community and conservationists. With significant global attention now focused on reducing carbon emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD), the authors examine the promise and the potential problems that apply to this initiative.

pokkari
In the book, "Hiking Sipsey-A Family's Fight for Eastern Wilderness," Rickey Butch Walker teams with Jim Manasco to produce an ultimate guide to the Bankhead National Forest which includes the Sipsey Wilderness Area. It tells of the struggles to prevent the destruction of one of Nature's greatest gems which is located in the Warrior Mountains of Northwest Alabama. You will read of the efforts of those who cherished the unique treasures in the Bankhead Forest and launched a determined and successful campaign to preserve it for this and subsequent generations. With the attitude that anything of value this great is worth fighting for, the Sipsey Wilderness was established. Meet the family of Jim and Ruth Manasco who has dedicated their life's work to preserving the natural beauties of the Warrior Mountains and the Rocky Plains. Follow the struggle to designate the heart of the Bankhead, the crown jewel of the forest, as a wilderness area so that it might return to its primitive state, that which proceeded the effort to turn it into a pine plantation. The book allows the reader to walk the trails of the forest and smell the wildflowers that grow in profusion within its boundaries-look but don't pick Through words you visualize the habitat of the forest, listen to the birds sing, frogs croak, and the hoot of an owl. Read the messages left on the ancient Beech trees and recognize the different species of vegetation by examining the leaves and bark of the plant. Search for herbal plants such as ginseng-but no digging allowed Let the great variety of moss amaze you, but in all this, be careful to preserve this treasure for future generations.

Roswell was only the beginning An in-depth look at the Rendlesham Forest UFO Incident, the world's most sensational and compelling series of UFO encounters. In 1980, a UFO was tracked on military radar in Rendlesham Forest, England. It landed near two of the most strategically important military bases in NATO, and was approached by military witnesses who touched the hull. This explosive new book tells the full story of this incident, which is set to become better-known than Roswell. Written by Nick Pope, an international bestselling author and former government UFO investigator, working closely with John Burroughs and Jim Penniston, the two officers at the heart of the encounters, Encounter in Rendlesham Forest reveals the first-hand witnesses' full stories for the first time and is supported by numerous formerly-classified documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act. The inside story of these events and their aftermath will change people's perceptions about UFOs and about the true role played by government, the military and the intelligence agencies.

After a historical consideration of the types and evolution of accelerators the physics of particle beams is provided in detail. Topics dealt with comprise linear and nonlinear beam dynamics, collective phenomena in beams, and interactions of beams with the surroundings. The design and principles of synchrotrons, circular and linear colliders, and of linear accelerators are discussed next. Also technological aspects of accelerators (magnets, RF cavities, cryogenics, power supply, vacuum, beam instrumentation, injection and extraction) are reviewed, as well as accelerator operation (parameter control, beam feedback system, orbit correction, luminosity optimization). After introducing the largest accelerators and colliders of their times the application of accelerators and storage rings in industry, medicine, basic science, and energy research is discussed, including also synchrotron radiation sources and spallation sources. Finally, cosmic accelerators and an outlook for the future are given.

Good to great : hur vanliga företag tar språnget till mästarklass

Good to great : hur vanliga företag tar språnget till mästarklass

GOOD TO GREAT - Hur vanliga företag tar språnget till mästarklass. Good to Great presenterar resultaten av ett femårigt forskningsprojekt. Collins har identifierat samtliga börsnoterade amerikanska företag som uppfyllt två kriterier. Det första är att de under minst femton år varit ganska "vanliga" företag med börskurser som skvalpat runt index. Men sedan har något hänt. Efter en brytpunkt har de under minst femton år i rad haft en kursutveckling som varit minst tre gånger bättre än index. Collins fann elva företag som uppfyllde dessa kriterier. Vad är det som skiljer dessa företag från andra? Hur tar man språnget från "Good to Great"? Det är den frågan Collins försöker besvara.

Great by Choice : hur några företag blomstrar trots osäkerhet, kaos och (o)tu

Jim Collins; Morten T. Hansen

Tio år efter att han skrev Good to Great ställer Jim Collins frågan: "Varför blomstrar några bolag under förhållanden präglade av osäkerhet, ja till och med kaos, när andra inte gör det?" I Great by Choice, lägger Collins och hans kollega Morten T. Hansen fast principerna för att bygga verkligt enastående bolag i tider som är oförutsägbara, tumultartade och snabbrörliga. Den nya boken skiljer sig från Collins tidigare genom sitt fokus på de slags instabila miljöer som dagens ledare står inför. De företag som valts ut för studien har minst 10 gånger bättre resultat än jämförelseföretagen trots svåra tider. Därför kallas de 10-gångersföretag i boken. Och deras framgång har inget med tur att göra. Det handlar snarare om disciplin och därmed gedigna förberedelser och att hålla sig till uppgjorda planer. Som Collins berättar i sin bok nådde Amundsen Sydpolen mer än en månad före Scott mycket tack vare sina omsorgsfulla förberedelser där han försökte förutse allt som kunde gå snett. Amundsen lärde sig t.ex. att hundar var de bästa dragarna de svettas som bekant inte och har därför bättre förutsättningar att klara extrem kyla. Scotts hästar blev fuktiga av ansträngningarna och frös så småningom ihjäl, och hans manskap fick då dra slädarna. Amundsen höll sig till sin plan att vandra c:a 30 km om dagen och därefter slå läger för att vila. Däremot drev Scott på extra mycket de dagar när solen sken och det var vindstilla, med följd att hans manskap blev uttröttat och inte orkade ge sig ut de dagar det blåste intensivt. Amundsen kom tillbaka till basen precis på dagen medan Scott och hans manskap dukade under för svält och kyla bara ett kort stycke från ett av sina stora förråd. Parallellen med företag och företagsledare är uppenbar. De disciplinerade klarar sig utmärkt det är ju en tes som också upprätthölls av Jim Collins i Good to Great. Jim Collins: Professor Jim Collins är författare till sex böcker, bland dem Good to Great, Built to Last och How the Mighty Fall, som har sålt i mer än 10 miljoner exemplar tre riktiga rekordsäljare. Jim började sin forsknings- och undervisningsbana på Stanford Graduate School of Business, där han fick priset som den bäste läraren 1992. Han driver nu ett management laboratorium i Boulder, Colorado. Morten T Hansen: Morten T. Hansen är professor i Management vid University of California, Berkeley (School of Information), och vid INSEAD. Morten har skrivit boken Collaboration, var tidigare professor vid Harvard Business School, och är PhD från Stanford Graduate School of Business, där han var en Fulbright stipendiat. Professor Hansen stammar från Norge.

Hur jättarna går under : och varför vissa företag aldrig ger upp

Hur jättarna går under : och varför vissa företag aldrig ger upp

Jim Collins

BookHouse Editions
2009
sidottu
I Hur jättarna går under - och varför vissa företag aldrig ger upp ställer sig Jim Collins frågan: Hur går det till när mäktiga företag faller? Kan nedgången upptäckas i tid och undvikas? Hur långt kan ett företag falla innan dess totala undergång är oundviklig och alla räddningsförsök förgäves. Collins forskningsprojekt har pågått i mer än fyra år, och avslöjar fem distinkta steg av nedgång som han beskriver i boken. Genom att förstå stegen i nedgången kan ledare markant minska risken att falla hela vägen ned till botten. Man skulle kunna säga att boken är en spegelbild av hans tidigare storsäljare Good to Great som beskriver uppgångens fem stadier. Det är nästan omöjligt att låta bli att tänka på ett specifikt svenskt företag när man läser boken. Facit, kanske. Eller SAS. Eller varför inte någon av de banker som inte längre finns. Hade de kunnat rädda sig om de varit mer observanta? Ingen institution, oavsett hur mäktig den är, är immun mot undergång. Det finns ingen naturlag som säger att de starkaste och största kommer för all framtid att stanna kvar på toppen. Vilket företag som helst kan börja falla, och de flesta gör det förr eller senare. Men som Collins forskning visar, så återhämtar sig vissa företag faktiskt och i vissa fall kan de komma tillbaka ännu starkare. Om du triumferar eller misslyckas, lider eller avlider, beror mer på vad du gör med dig själv än vad världen gör med dig. OM FÖRFATTAREN Jim Collins är en noggrann betraktare av företag stora, svaga, bra och misslyckade sådana från unga start-ups till aktningsvärda institutioner. Författaren till den internationella storsäljaren Good to Great och medförfattare till Built to Last, är Collins en vägledare för ledare inom både i den privata och offentliga sektorn. Hans artiklar har publicerats i Fortune, BusinessWeek, The Economist, USA Today och Harvard Business Review.

The origins and influence of Jim, Mark Twain’s beloved yet polarizing literary figure “Astute. . . . Sheds new light on a much-studied character.”—Publishers Weekly Mark Twain’s Jim, introduced in Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885), is a shrewd, self-aware, and enormously admirable enslaved man, one of the first fully drawn Black fathers in American fiction. Haunted by the family he has left behind, Jim acts as father figure to Huck, the white boy who is his companion as they raft the Mississippi toward freedom. Jim is also a highly polarizing figure: he is viewed as an emblem both of Twain’s alleged racism and of his opposition to racism; a diminished character inflected by minstrelsy and a powerful challenge to minstrel stereotypes; a reason for banning Huckleberry Finn and a reason for teaching it; an embarrassment and a source of pride for Black readers. Eminent Twain scholar Shelley Fisher Fishkin probes these controversies, exploring who Jim was, how Twain portrayed him, and how the world has responded to him. Fishkin also follows Jim’s many afterlives: in film, from Hollywood to the Soviet Union; in translation around the world; and in American high school classrooms today. The result is Jim as we have never seen him before—a fresh and compelling portrait of one of the most memorable Black characters in American fiction.
