Описание: The five decades between the Spanish-American War and the end of World War II were a time of revolutionary technological change. Navies struggled to assimilate newship types-dreadnought battleships, destroyers, aircraft carriers, and submarines and integrate them with new technologies, like analog fire control computers, radio, andradar. The U.S. Navy stood out in its ability to harness these new technologies and develop them to expand the fleet's fighting power. Between 1898 and 1945, the Navyevolved from a second-tier force to the world's strongest naval power. This transition was far more than an increase in size; victory in World War II taxed the Navy's capabilities to the limit. The Navy's rise to dominance was the result of its ability to learn and innovate.Learning War examines the Navy's doctrinal development throughout the 1898-1945 period and explains why it was so successful at embracing change. It is a revolutionary study of one of history's greatest success stories. It draws profoundly important conclusions that give new insight, not only into how the Navy succeeded in becoming the best, but also into how modern organizations can exploit today's rapid technological and social changes in their pursuit of success.Learning War argues that the Navy created a sophisticated learning system in the early years of the twentieth century that led to repeated innovations in the development of surface warfare tactics and doctrine. The conditions that allowedthese innovations to emerge are analyzed by considering the Navy as a complex adaptive system. Complexity has provided new perspectives for understanding in a variety of fields, including biology, economics, artificial intelligence, and international development. Learning War is the first major work to apply this approach to militaryhistory. It permits a richer understanding of the mechanisms that enable human organizations to evolve, innovate, and learn.These mechanisms are very important. In the Navy's case, the learning continued through the early years of World War II. Contrary to the standard view of military doctrine-that it changes in peacetime and is employed in wartime-this book makes the argument that the ability to modify doctrine in light of experience is crucial to wartime success. Organizations must evolve to be able to meet changing circumstances. This is true of all human organizations, military, business, or otherwise. The Navy's experience in the early twentieth century provides a window into how this kind of evolutionary change can be fostered and maintained.

Описание: This book examines the twenty-year period that saw the US fleet shrink under the pressures of arms-limitation treaties, and then grow again to a world-class force. The authors trace the Navy`s evolution from a fleet centred around slow battleships to one that deployed most of the warship types that proved so essential in World War II.

Описание: A discovery in his mother's attic leads a painter into the dark world of underground art dealings Since childhood, Ben Contini has been enchanted by nudes. The first painting ever to move him was a Modigliani, a portrait of a naked and beautiful reclining woman. Though it scandalized his mother at the time, it inspired him to become an artist; he specializes in portraits but paints nudes whenever he can. Only when his mother dies does Ben realize why Modigliani upset her so much: She had one hidden in her attic. It is the most beautiful painting he has ever seen, but he has no idea how the widow of an Italian refugee could have come upon it. With the help of a mysterious Austrian woman who appears at his mother's funeral, Ben discovers the painting's connection to the art thieves of Nazi Germany. The beautiful nude has made a strange journey to the Contini attic, and there are men who would kill to cover her up.
