Do you desire to become a Leader? Are you already a Leader and desire to be better? No matter where you may be in your career, this book is for you. The Twelve C's of Exceptional Leadership is unlike any book on Leadership you may have ever read. Rather than give you a few buzzwords and meaningless advice, this book is full of information about how to take yourself to the next level of your Leadership journey. This book is based on my personal observations working my way up the corporate ladder and eventually becoming a CEO, before I realized my true calling and became a motivational speaker for businesses. Beyond just my personal experience, I have interviewed many people from bosses to individual workers, I have taught business classes, and have studied how to be a Leader from all the available resources on the market. Taking all of that, I developed the 12 C's to help others become a Leader, or help Leaders become better Leader. In this book, we go into how your actions matter, the importance of communication, using failure, branding, and of course: Courage, Charisma, Character, Compassion, Creativity, Competence, Common Sense, Collaborative Spirit, Communicator, Conviction, Capacity, Credibility. This is the kind of book that you always want to keep with you, as each time you read it, you'll no doubt learn something new or find a way to improve yourself as a Leader.

*Includes pictures *Profiles the architects who built the Memorial and the controversies surrounding it *Includes a bibliography for further reading *Includes a table of contents People have always loved symbols and monuments, and monumental architecture has always been as much symbolic as functional. The pyramids of ancient Egypt were artificial mountains expressing the link of the pharaoh to the gods, and mountains have always been associated with the divine in the human imagination. The Colossus of Rhodes, the Roman Senate House and Temple of Capitoline Jove, the Grand Teocalli and Tzompantli or skull-rack of the Aztec capital Tenochtitlan, the Forbidden City of Peking, the Parisian Arc de Triomphe de l'Etoile and the Brandenburg Gate of Berlin, all provide or provided material focuses for national ideals, beliefs, and culture. The story of the United States of America is one of a nation founded upon the loftiest ideals of representative government, attempting to fulfill its goals while encountering competing domestic and global forces. From the beginning, Americans debated how their national government should govern, balancing powers between the federal government and the states, which led to the establishment of the first political parties. At the same time, the nation has struggled to reconcile its guarantee of universal rights and individual liberties with several stark realities, including the presence of millions of slaves at the time of the Declaration of Independence. Nobody spent more time in the thick of these debates than Thomas Jefferson, one of the most famous and revered Americans. Jefferson was instrumental in all of the aforementioned debates, authoring the Declaration of Independence, laying out the ideological groundwork of the notion of states' rights, leading one of the first political parties, and overseeing the expansion of the United States during his presidency. But for all of his accomplishments, Jefferson's reputation and legacy are still inextricably intertwined with the divisive issues of his own day. As the slaveholder who wrote that all men are created equal, and his relationship with one of his slaves, Sally Hemings, Jefferson's life and career are still sometimes fiercely debated today. As a result, it's only fitting that the Jefferson Memorial would also be majestic and controversial. A tranquilly elegant neoclassical building fronted by slender pillars and topped by a gently domed roof, the Jefferson Memorial stands among other American monuments near the shores of the Tidal Basin in Washington D.C. Housing a five-ton, nineteen foot tall statue of Thomas Jefferson, the building looks as though it could be as long-established as the White House itself, but it is actually much newer. Facing opposition on several fronts when it was first proposed, including outcries from those who objected to its neoclassical style and others who lamented the clearing of flowering cherry trees necessary to make room for the edifice, the Memorial was finished and dedicated in 1943, at the height of World War II. Among the countless number of visitors who come to the Jefferson Memorial annually, few know of the checkered and troubled process of its planning and construction. Everything from lofty scholarly debate on the symbolic meaning of its architectural style to protestors preparing to chain themselves to cherry trees to block their felling swirled around the Memorial when it was no more than a set of blueprints and the first stone had yet to be laid. Generations removed from its origins, the Jefferson Memorial is now mostly viewed not only as a fixture of the nation's capital but a fitting tribute to the author of the Declaration of Independence. The Jefferson Memorial: The History of Washington D.C.'s Famous Monument chronicles the construction and history of one of America's most famous memorials.
Mặc d bản th n l một Phật tử, Conze vẫn lu n giữ được khoảng c ch kh ch quan cần thiết khi tr nh b y c c vấn đề về lịch sử Phật gi o. Hơn thế nữa, ngay khi đề cập đến c c bộ ph i kh c nhau, ng cũng kh ng bao giờ để cho ng i b t của m nh nghi ng về theo những khuynh hướng tư tưởng m m nh đ chọn. V đ y ch nh l yếu tố đ tạo được sự tin cậy cần thiết cho một t c phẩm c t nh c ch sử học như thế n y. Conze cũng tạo được cho tập s ch của m nh một cấu tr c rất chặt chẽ. Mặc d với những sự kiện kh d y đặc diễn ra trong hơn 2.500 năm m chỉ với kh ng đầy 150 trang s ch Anh ngữ, ng đ kh ng l m cho người đọc phải cho ng ngợp bởi sự dồn n n của ch ng. Bằng một sự li n kết kh o l o, ng đ tr nh b y tất cả theo một c ch kh i qu t nhất m vẫn bao h m được những chi tiết cốt l i cần thiết nhất. Trong một chừng mực n o đ , t i c cảm gi c li n tưởng nghệ thuật tr nh b y của ng như những n t chấm ph độc đ o của một nh danh họa thủy mặc. Nhưng lịch sử ph t triển của một t n gi o, nhất l khi t n gi o ấy l Phật gi o, kh ng thể chỉ bao gồm những sự kiện, m điều cần thiết v thậm ch c n quan trọng hơn nữa ch nh l c c khuynh hướng tư tưởng với sự h nh th nh v ph t triển của ch ng.

Người viết nếu kh ng nắm vững tất cả mọi vấn đề v tu n theo một phương ph p tr nh b y hết sức khoa học, th chắc chắn sẽ kh ng tr nh được sự lạc lối trong khu rừng tư tưởng đầy b ẩn của Phật gi o. Conze đ l m được điều kh l m, v thậm ch c n l m rất tốt, khi ng giới thiệu hầu như tất cả những khuynh hướng tư tưởng lớn kh c nhau trong Phật gi o, v n u l n được sự kh c biệt cơ bản nhất của ch ng.

Imagining Britain’s Economic Future, c.1800–1975
Springer Nature Switzerland AG

Following the Brexit vote, this book offers a timely historical assessment of the different ways that Britain’s economic future has been imagined and how British ideas have influenced global debates about market relationships over the past two centuries. The 2016 EU referendum hinged to a substantial degree on how competing visions of the UK should engage with foreign markets, which in turn were shaped by competing understandings of Britain’s economic past. The book considers the following inter-related questions: - What roles does economic imagination play in shaping people’s behaviour and how far can insights from behavioural economics be applied to historical issues of market selection? - How useful is the concept of the ‘official mind’ for explaining the development of market relationships? - What has been the relationship between expanding communications and the development of markets? - How and why have certain regions or groupings (e.g. the Commonwealth) been ‘unimagined’- losing their status as promising markets for the future?

This book provides a detailed review of power amplifiers, including classes and topologies rarely covered in books, and supplies sufficient information to allow the reader to design an entire amplifier system, and not just the power amplification stage. A central aim is to furnish readers with ideas on how to simplify the design process for a preferred power amplifier stage by introducing software-based routines in a programming language of their choice. The book is in two parts, the first focusing on power amplifier theory and the second on EDA concepts. Readers will gain enough knowledge of RF and microwave transmission theory, principles of active and passive device design and manufacturing, and power amplifier design concepts to allow them to quickly create their own programs, which will help to accelerate the transceiver design process. All circuit designers facing the challenge of designing an RF or microwave power amplifier for frequencies from 2 to 18 GHz will find this book tobe a valuable asset.
