Описание: As corporations ramp up «workforce globalization» and young professionals increasingly pursue opportunities to work abroad, social entrepreneurs use online digital platforms to create offline social events where foreigners can meet face-to-face. Through ethnographic study of such groups in Paris, Singapore, and Bangalore, Erika Polson illustrates how, as a new generation of expatriates uses location technologies to create mobile «places,» a new global middle class is emerging. While there are many differences in the specifics between the expat groups, they share certain characteristics that indicate a larger logic to the way that the increasing mobility of professional career paths is connected to new subjectivities and changing forms of community among a diverse and growing demographic. This book opens up a new field of study, one which pays more attention to middle class mobility while questioning the privileging of mobility more generally.

What does it take for women to succeed in a male-dominated world? The Grit Factor.
At age nineteen, Shannon Huffman Polson became the youngest woman ever to climb Denali, the highest mountain in North America. She went on to reach the summits of Mt. Rainier and Mt. Kilimanjaro and spent more than a decade traveling the world. Yet it was during her experience serving as one of the Army's first female attack helicopter pilots, and eventually leading an Apache flight platoon on deployment to Bosnia-Herzegovina, that she learned the lessons of leadership that forever changed her life.
Where did these insights come from? From her own crucibles of experience—and from other women. In writing The Grit Factor, Polson made it her mission to connect with an elite pack of tough, impressive female iconoclasts who shared with her their candid stories of combat and career. This slate of decorated leaders includes Heather Penney, one of the first female F-16 pilots, who was put on a suicide mission for 9/11; General Ann Dunwoody, the first female four-star general in the Army; Amy McGrath, the first female Marine to fly the F/A-18 in combat and a 2020 candidate for the US Senate—and dozens of other unstoppable women who got there first, including Polson herself.
These women led at the highest levels in the most complicated, challenging, and male-dominated organization in the world. Now, in the post-#MeToo era, when positive role models of women leading are needed as never before, Polson brings these voices together, sharing her own life lessons and theirs with storytelling flair, keen insight, and incisive analysis of current research.
With its gripping narrative and relatable takeaways, The Grit Factor is both inspiring and pragmatic, a book that will energize and enlighten current and aspiring leaders everywhere—whether male or female.

Two leading data scientists offer an up-close and user-friendly look at artificial intelligence: what it is, how it works, where it came from, and how to harness its power for a better world.
A revolution of intelligent machines, from self-driving cars to smart digital assistants, is now remaking our world, just as the Industrial Revolution remade the world of the 19th century. AI is used to diagnose and treat cancer, detect fraud, save energy, and make new discoveries. AI is not some science-fiction droid from the future. It's right here, right now, and it's changing our lives at lightning-fast speed. Many of these changes offer great promise, including freedom from drudgery, safer workplaces, better health care, and fewer language barriers. But others elicit worry--whether about jobs, data privacy, or the prospect of machines making biased decisions with no accountability.
In AIQ, authors Nick Polson and James Scott, both experts in the field, show us how to make sense of these accelerating trends. This book is based on a simple premise: if you want to understand the modern world, you must learn about how these intelligent machines really work. AIQ will teach you how to speak the mathematical language of AI--but in an approachable manner, one anchored in storytelling rather than equations. Along the way, you will meet a fascinating cast of historical characters who have a lot to say about data, probability, and better thinking--and whose tried-and-true ideas are powering the AI revolution, as they play out in the modern age of big data. Finally, AIQ explains how these technologies can help you to overcome some of your own built-in cognitive weaknesses, giving you a chance to lead a life of greater happiness, efficiency, and fulfillment.
Автор: Polson James B. Название: Four Proofs of Jesus` Resurrection ISBN: 1595558225 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781595558220 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 5510.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The resurrection of Jesus from the dead is like the signature of God certifying that everything Jesus did was the work of God, and everything Jesus taught and promised is absolutely true. The disciples were not expecting Jesus to come back from the dead even though He had told them beforehand that He would. They had to be convinced of the resurrection. What was some of the evidence they encountered that convinced them that Jesus was alive and drove them to face persecution and death as they proclaimed that message? This book portrays some of that evidence so that the reader can judge for himself or herself whether the claims of the disciples were based on wishful thinking or on solid evidence and sound reasoning.

Описание: The best-selling Honda ever, the long-running Honda Mini Trail, was available in a huge range of models, even within each model year. The Honda Mini Trail Enthusiast's Guide covers all Honda Mini Trails and Z50 bikes produced between 1968 and 1999. Author Jeremy Polson begins with a brief introduction of the models that led up to the Mini Trail, and then jumps into a thorough analysis of the many models and iterations that Honda has offered through the years.
Despite the worldwide popularity of Honda's best-selling model, no other Mini Trail book had been published, and the accuracy of information found on the Internet is suspect at best. For Z50 collectors and enthusiasts, this book presents facts and figures found nowhere else.
In addition to the hard facts regarding each model of each year, this book is filled with many rare photos that track the evolution of the Mini Trail, and unravel its mystery.

Автор: Polson Jeremy Название: Honda 70: Enthusiast`s Guide ISBN: 1941064353 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781941064351 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 36250.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Author of Honda Mini Trail: Enthusiast's Guide, Jeremy Polson has put together another vintage Honda guide. It covers the third-best-selling Honda in American Honda history, the long-running Mini Trail CT-70, along with the CL, SL, and XL 72-cc motorcycles manufactured from 1969 to 1994. Polson begins with a brief introduction of the models that led to the first CL-70, and then jumps into a thorough analysis of the many models and iterations that Honda offered through the years.
With more than 25 years of experience collecting, restoring, and selling more than 200 small-displacement Hondas, Polson is the ideal author for this must-have look at a group of Honda's most popular motorcycles.
Despite the worldwide popularity of American Honda's 72-cc motorcycles, no other book on these models has been published, and the accuracy of information found on the Internet is suspect at best. It could be called the "Bible for Honda 72-cc collectors and enthusiasts," because this book presents facts and figures backed up by production dates, serial numbers, and dealer information found nowhere else.
In addition to the hard facts, this book is filled with many rare photos that track the evolution of Honda's 72-cc motorcycles and unravels their mystery. Rare models covered include the first CT-70 "Silver Tags" with more than 30 features not found on the majority of later-model CT-70s, as well as many other low-production 72-cc motorcycles.
