Описание: Johnstone Country. The Good Die Young. The Bad Die Younger.

When Smoke Jensen is summoned to a small Texas town under siege by a scourge of kill-crazy bandits, volunteers line up to take out the Mountain Man. Being Smoke Jensen, he wouldn't have it any other way.

A gunshot wound has robbed Audubon, Texas, of its top lawman at the worst possible time. Clete Lanagan and his band of outlaws have hatched a scheme to plunder the town bank of a small fortune in railroad money. When the acting sheriff, Dalton Conyers--half-brother of Smoke's niece Rebecca--is unable to raise a posse to hunt down Lanagan's gang, he calls on Smoke for help.

But with so much cash at stake, Lanagan won't go down without a fight. With a bounty on his head, Smoke finds himself marked for death by a legendary gunslinger, a wrathful ranch hand bent on revenge for his brother's death, and an army of trigger-happy recruits with nothing to lose but their lives.

Live Free.

Описание: Dieses Buch handelt von dem Wie des Projektmanagements. Wie Sie die vielen verfuegbaren Methoden integrieren und kombinieren. Wie Sie eine proaktive Einstellung nutzen koennen, um auch in schwierigen Situationen die Kontrolle zu behalten. Wie Sie sich selbst von einem Kontrolleur in einen Beeinflusser verwandeln. Wie Sie agil handeln, auch in traditionellen Organisationen. Wie Sie Projektmanagement in Ihren persoenlichen Stil und taeglichen Arbeitsablauf integrieren. Wie Sie sicherstellen, dass Sie auch wirklich damit anfangen es zu nutzen! Wie Sie bei all dem sich selbst treu bleiben koennen.Heutige Projektmanager muessen hohe Erwartungen erfuellen. Herausfordernde Ziele, ein starker Fokus auf Kostenmanagement und Lieferzeiten, die Erfuellung der Erwartungen vieler Stakeholder und viele Abhaengigkeiten zwischen Unterprojekten machen das Projektmanagement zu einer zunehmend komplexen Aufgabe - besonders in einer Umgebung, in der Aenderungen und Unsicherheiten zur Norm geworden sind. Zusaetzlich muessen die kreativen Faehigkeiten der Wissensarbeiter bestmoeglich genutzt werden, was wiederum weniger hierarchische Organisationsstrukturen und mehr multidisziplinaere Zusammenarbeit erfordert. Die richtigen Projektmanagement-Fertigkeiten zu besitzen, ist daher essenziell auf praktisch jeder Ebener einer Organisation.Diese Herausforderungen resultieren in einem wachsenden Bedarf an umfassenden Methoden und der Zunahme der Popularitaet von Agile. Andererseits fuehrt die wachsende Komplexitaet gerade zu einem Beduerfnis an Einfachheit. Genau hierum geht es in diesem Buch: Sich auf die Grundlagen besinnen, in der Lage zu sein nuetzliche Elemente von verschiedenen Methoden zu kombinieren und sich auf die wichtigsten Aspekte zu fokussieren: Die Person hinter dem Projektmanager!Dieses Buch enthaelt eine Vielfalt an praktischen Beschreibungen mit nuetzlichen Beispielen und Anekdoten. Der Leser wird stets angeregt die Essenz zu verinnerlichen und diese seines eigenen Stils und seiner Personalitaet entsprechend in der Praxis umzusetzen. Dies ist der einzige Weg kontinuierlich dabei zu bleiben, erfolgreich zu sein und andere an sich glauben zu lassen!Welche Fragen dieses Buch Ihnen beantworten wird:¢ Was sind die grundlegenden Techniken eines Projektmanagers, die sowohl in agilen als auch traditionellen Umgebungen angewendet werden koennen?¢ Wie koennen Sie die vielen verfuegbaren Projektmanagement-Methoden in Ihren eigenen Arbeitsprozess einbeziehen?¢ Wie koennen Sie kluge Fuehrung und bestimmte Verhaltensformen dazu nutzen, um Ihre Effektivitaet und Effizienz durch stetes Ergreifen der Initiative erheblich zu erhoehen (der Faktor 10)?¢ Wie koennen Sie traditionelle (Wasserfall-orientierte) Produktentwicklung mit agiler (Software) Entwicklung kombinieren?¢ Wie koennen Sie Unsicherheiten und Aenderungen fuer sich arbeiten lassen, anstatt gegen Sie?¢ Wie koennen Sie ein komplexes Projekt auf eine Art und Weise strukturieren, so dass es zu einer aufschlussreichen und deligierbaren Serie von Zwischenergebnissen wird?¢ Wie koennen Sie durch Nutzung der kritischen Parameter den wahren Projektstatus von Projektbeginn an messen?¢ Wie koennen Sie den richtigen Rahmen schaffen, in dem Teams von Wissensarbeitern selbst-organisiert arbeiten koennen?¢ Wie koennen Sie mit Hilfe des Heartbeats in jeder Situation Fortschritt, Lernbereitschafft, Kommunikation und Zielorientierung sicherstellen?¢ Wie koennen Sie die Kooperation mit Ihren Stakeholdern in eine echte Zusammenarbeit ueberfuehren - unabhaengig von den aeusseren Umstaenden?¢ Vor allem, wie koennen Sie sich bei all dem selbst treu bleiben?

Описание: Readings in the Anthropocene brings together scholars from German Studies and beyond to interpret the German tradition of the last two hundred years from a perspective that is mindful of the challenge posed by the concept of the Anthropocene. This new age of man, unofficially pronounced in 2000, holds that humans are becoming a geological force in shaping the Earth’s future. Among the biggest challenges facing our future are climate change, accelerated species loss, and a radical transformation of land use. What are the historical, philosophical, cultural, literary, and artistic responses to this new concept? The essays in this volume bring German culture to bear on what it means to live in the Anthropocene from a historical, ethical, and aesthetic perspective.

Описание: The portrait has historically been understood as an artistic representation of a human subject. Its purpose was to provide a visual or psychological likenesses or an expression of personal, familial or social identity; it was typically associated with the privileged individual subject of Western modernity. Recent scholarship in the humanities and social sciences however has responded to the complex nature of twenty-first century subjectivity and proffered fresh conceptual models and theories to analyse it. The contributors to Anti-Portraiture examine subjectivity via a range of media including sculpture, photography and installation, and make a convincing case for an expanded definition of portraiture. By offering a timely reappraisal of the terms through which this genre is approached, the chapter authors volunteer new paradigms in which to consider selfhood, embodiment and representation. In doing so they further this exciting academic debate and challenge the curatorial practices and acquisition policies of museums and galleries.

Описание: With their acclaimed novels of the Jensen family, bestselling authors William W. Johnstone and J. A. Johnstone have captured the pioneering spirit of America itself. Now a new generation of Jensens prepares to take the reins-and live the dream their ancestors fought for . . . There's nothing like a wedding to bring families together.

Smoke and Sally Jensen are delighted that their son Louis is marrying the lovely widow he met during a perilous stagecoach journey through the Donner Pass. The whole family welcomes the bride and her young son with open arms. In fact, everyone is invited to the party-even the handsome stranger who rescued Louis's twin sister Denise from a runaway mustang. Who is this mysterious hero? No one knows. But there's going to be a lot of gunshots along with the wedding bells when this stranger makes his deadly moves. Once more, the Jensens band together to fight for what's theirs. And it just might be till death do they part . . .

Описание: Over the past two decades, international cooperation in higher education has become the norm in China and around the world. To exemplify these relationships, this edited volume devotes individual chapters to case studies of China-U.S. international higher education partnerships focused on 1) Collaborative graduate programs; 2) Research collaborations; 3) Student mobility; 4) Multi-institution collaborations; 5) Cultural exchanges; and 6) Branch campuses. These case studies will illuminate the strategies, challenges, and perceived benefits of cross-national collaboration. Case studies are bookended with introductory and concluding chapters that link cooperative activities to theory on diplomacy (including Western “soft diplomacy” and Chinese five principles of “peaceful coexistence” narratives); internationalization of higher education; and reflections on student and scholar mobility between Chinese and US institutions.

Описание: Not every Western hero wears a white hat or a tin star. Most of them are just fighting to survive. Some of them can be liars, cheaters, and thieves. And then there's a couple of old-time robbers named Slash and Pecos . . . After a lifetime of robbing banks and holding up trains, Jimmy "Slash" Braddock and Melvin "Pecos Kid" Baker are ready to call it quits-though not completely by choice. Sold out by their old gang, Slash and Pecos have to bust out of jail and pull one last job to finance their early retirement . . . The target is a rancher's payroll train. Catch is: the train is carrying a Gatling gun and twenty deputy U.S. marshals who know they're coming. Caught and quickly sentenced to hang, their old enemy-the wheelchair-bound, bucket of mean, Marshal L. C. Bledsoe-shows up at the last minute to spare their lives. For a price. He'll let them live if they hunt down their old gang, the Snake River Marauders. And kill those prairie rats-with extreme prejudice . . .
