Описание: Tom Waits, even with his barnyard growl and urban hipster yawp, may just be what the Daily Telegraph calls him: ‘the greatest entertainer on Planet Earth.’ Over a span of almost four decades, he has transformed his music and persona not to suit the times but his whims. Along with Bob Dylan, he stands as one of American music’s last elder statesmen, still capable of putting out records that matters. Journalists intent upon cracking the code are more likely to come out of a Waits interview with anecdotes about the weather, insects, or medieval medicine. He is, in essence, the teacher we wished we had, dispensing insights such as: ‘Vocabulary is my main instrument’; ‘We all like music, but what we really want is for music to like us’; ‘Anything you absorb you will ultimately secrete’; and ‘There is no such thing as non-fiction … People who really know what happened aren’t talking. And the people who don’t have a clue, you can’t shut them up.’ Tom Waits on Tom Waits is a selection of over 50 interviews, the majority of which have never been collected in book form before, in which Waits shares something truly unique with his readers. Taken together they present a de facto autobiography of a notoriously guarded artist.

Автор: Rami A Maher Название: Optimal Control Engineering with MATLAB: A Solutions Manual ISBN: 1536130559 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781536130553 Издательство: Nova Science Рейтинг: Цена: 232310.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: This book is a solution manual of the 110 questions that were presented in the eight chapters throughout the authors previous book, Optimal Control Engineering with MATLAB. The manual is prepared as an independent book since it includes the problems questions, figures, and all necessary equations and formulas in a summarizing fashion and within the given solution frameworks. The idea behind writing this book is to increase significantly the students or readers knowledge about the optimal control discipline that is found in many engineering fields. Detailed step-by-step hand solutions are carried out while utilizing the MATLAB functions in the toolboxes. Simulink models are presented to simulate and validate the obtained results. Each chapter concludes with the lists of MATLAB programs that are used either to assess or to develop the desired solutions to challenging problems. The reader will discover the importance of using these programs, especially in solving parameter optimization design, different nonlinear TBVP, finite horizon LRQ, DDP and ILRQ problems. In addition, the implementation of the obtained time function optimal control law by a transfer function controller is accomplished for some problems. Among these problems, the reader will find many practical engineering problems in continuous as well as discrete forms. Finally, the reader can easily modify these programs and Simulink models for his or her problems.

Transforming our organizations to compete and thrive in today's digital age requires a combination of "old world thinking" of quality and differentiation and "new world thinking" of meeting your market where it wants to be.
But making your organization "digital" is a lot more than creating a compelling mobile app and moving to the cloud. To thrive in the new marketplace, you must think and act differently.
In this leader's guide to digital transformation, you'll get practical, actionable information on building an employee and customer-obsessed culture that drives speed and efficiency while leveraging technology to sell better products and services.
The guide will teach you how to:
understand, articulate, and analyze the value you offer customers;
get development and operations to work better together;
persuade employees to do things differently; and
solve problems in new and creative ways.
Whether you work for a small, medium-sized, or large organization, you'll get meaningful guidance on overcoming obstacles that thwart success by learning from others.

Ottavio, a former refugee from Sudan's brutal civil war, lives in Sydney, Australia; a place rich with opportunity and frustration. He has a degree in engineering but works in a meat factory. He strives to be responsible in the ways expected by his community--to look after his brothers, his cousins, and to get married. Yet, Ottavio feels like he is failing. Barely sleeping at night, he is unable to forget what the war took from him, what he left behind. To prove to himself that he has settled in his adopted country, he volunteers to help other migrants learn English. In class, he meets Alice, an Australian-born kawauja. She has a secure existence, a mundane job, and a need to find more meaning in her own life. But when tragedy strikes them both, they change in ways they could never have imagined. Blinding the Ghost's Eye is a story of belonging--to countries and families--a story of subjugation, of how we find comfort, and of promises we cannot hope to keep.

In response to the growing scale and complexity of environmental threats, this volume collects articles, essays, personal narratives, and poems by more than forty authors in conversation about “thinking continental”—connecting local and personal landscapes to universal systems and processes—to articulate the concept of a global or planetary citizenship.
Reckoning with the larger matrix of biome, region, continent, hemisphere, ocean, and planet has become necessary as environmental challenges require the insights not only of scientists but also of poets, humanists, and social scientists. Thinking Continental braids together abstract approaches with strands of more-personal narrative and poetry, showing how our imaginations can encompass the planetary while also being true to our own concrete life experiences in the here and now.

"A substance-rich, original on every page exploration of how the space program interacted with the environmental movement, and also with the peace and 'Whole Earth' movements of the 1960s." --Tyler Cowen, Marginal Revolution
The summer of 1969 saw astronauts land on the moon for the first time and hippie hordes descend on Woodstock. This lively and original account of the space race makes the case that the conjunction of these two era-defining events was not entirely coincidental.
With its lavishly funded mandate to put a man on the moon, the Apollo mission promised to reinvigorate a country that had lost its way. But a new breed of activists denounced it as a colossal waste of resources needed to solve pressing problems at home. Neil Maher reveals that there were actually unexpected synergies between the space program and the budding environmental, feminist and civil rights movements as photos from space galvanized environmentalists, women challenged the astronauts' boys club and NASA's engineers helped tackle inner city housing problems. Against a backdrop of Saturn V moonshots and Neil Armstrong's giant leap for mankind, Apollo in the Age of Aquarius brings the cultural politics of the space race back down to planet Earth.
"As a child in the 1960s, I was aware of both NASA's achievements and social unrest, but unaware of the clashes between those two historical currents. Maher captures] the maelstrom of the 1960s and 1970s as it collided with NASA's program for human spaceflight." --George Zamka, Colonel USMC (Ret.) and former NASA astronaut
"NASA and Woodstock may now seem polarized, but this illuminating, original chronicle...traces multiple crosscurrents between them." --Nature
