Описание: Honorable Mention in the Foreword Indie Awards 2016 For many design students, the expectation is that they will one day reach the top of the ladder within a design studio or corporation and become an art director. But what does this mean and how does a design student get there? What does an art director do? How is it different from being a designer? How does one lead and inspire a team, work with freelance designers, illustrators and photographers? Inside Art Direction answers all these questions for design students and professionals alike. Through interviews with 18 art directors working in a range of different industries from books and magazines to music and film to web and app design, students learn about how they got to where they are, what the art director's job really entails, and receive advice about the future of art direction. In the 28 case studies, illustrators, art directors and editors discuss specific assignments that they worked on, how they came up with ideas and the process of getting to the final result. With practical, hands-on advice, tips and art direction assignments that students can try out, Inside Art Direction provides insights about this fascinating field.

In the mid-nineteenth century, French colonial leaders in Algeria started southward into the Sahara, beginning a fifty-year period of violence. Lying in the shadow of the colonization of northern Algeria, which claimed the lives of over a million people, French empire in the Sahara sought power through physical force as it had elsewhere; yet violence in the Algerian Sahara followed a more complicated logic than the old argument that it was simply a way to get empire on the cheap.
"A Desert Named Peace "examines colonial violence through multiple stories and across several fields of research. It presents four cases: the military conquests of the French army in the oases and officers' predisposition to use extreme violence in colonial conflicts; a spontaneous nighttime attack made by Algerian pastoralists on a French village, as notable for its brutality as for its obscure causes; the violence of indigenous forms of slavery and the colonial accommodations that preserved it during the era of abolition; and the struggles of French Romantics whose debates about art and politics arrived from Paris with disastrous consequences.
Benjamin Claude Brower uses these different perspectives to reveal the unexpected causes of colonial violence, such as France's troubled revolutionary past and its influence on the military's institutional culture, the aesthetics of the sublime and its impact on colonial thinking, the ecological crises suffered by Saharan pastoralists under colonial rule, and the conflicting paths to authority inherent in Algerian Sufism. Directly engaging a controversial history, " A Desert Named Peace" offers an important backdrop to understanding the Algerian war for independence (1954-1962) and Algeria's ongoing internal war, begun in 1992, between the government and armed groups that claim to fight for an Islamist revolution.

"Kate Andersen Brower's The Residence is one of those rare books that is both elegant portraiture and highly readable, important White House history. The anecdotes are fresh and the analysis cogent. The stories about Kennedy, Reagan, Clinton, and Obama are irresistible. Highly recommended!" -- Douglas Brinkley, editor of The Reagan Diaries
A remarkable history with elements of both In the President's Secret Service and The Butler, The Residence offers an intimate account of the service staff of the White House, from the Kennedys to the Obamas.
America's First Families are unknowable in many ways. No one has insight into their true character like the people who serve their meals and make their beds every day. Full of stories and details by turns dramatic, humorous, and heartwarming, The Residence reveals daily life in the White House as it is really lived through the voices of the maids, butlers, cooks, florists, doormen, engineers, and others who tend to the needs of the President and First Family.
These dedicated professionals maintain the six-floor mansion's 132 rooms, 35 bathrooms, 28 fireplaces, three elevators, and eight staircases, and prepare everything from hors d'oeuvres for intimate gatherings to meals served at elaborate state dinners. Over the course of the day, they gather in the lower level's basement kitchen to share stories, trade secrets, forge lifelong friendships, and sometimes even fall in love.
Combining incredible first-person anecdotes from extensive interviews with scores of White House staff members--many speaking for the first time--with archival research, Kate Andersen Brower tells their story. She reveals the intimacy between the First Family and the people who serve them, as well as tension that has shaken the staff over the decades. From the housekeeper and engineer who fell in love while serving President Reagan to Jackie Kennedy's private moment of grief with a beloved staffer after her husband's assassination to the tumultuous days surrounding President Nixon's resignation and President Clinton's impeachment battle, The Residence is full of surprising and moving details that illuminate day-to-day life at the White House.

Understanding the history and philosophy of biological systematics (phylogenetics, taxonomy and classification of living things) is key to successful practice of the discipline.
In this thoroughly revised Third Edition of the classic Biological Systematics, Andrew V. Z. Brower and Randall T. Schuh provide an updated account of cladistic principles and techniques, emphasizing their empirical and epistemological clarity. Schuh and Brower cover:
the history and philosophy of systematics
the mechanics and methods of character analysis, phylogenetic inference, and evaluation of results
the practical application of systematic results to:
biological classification, - adaptation and coevolution - biodiversity, and conservation
new chapters on species and molecular clocks
Biological Systematics is intended as a textbook for students studying systematic biology and as a desk reference for practicing systematists. Part explication of concepts and methods, part exploration of the underlying epistemology of systematics, Brower and Schuh aim in this third edition to explain why some methods are more empirically sound than others.

Why forgive? Why is it so important to release forgiveness in our lives? Can you live productively in the midst of a life tarnished with unforgiviness? When I was in that place of harboring hatred, anger, and malice in my heart it was an awful place to be in. It was like I was walking around in a fog, just going through life numb. I had no real regard for others feelings; I was just going through the motions.
It was a deep rooted, horrible affliction I was carrying which had me weighed down like a "ton of bricks." I did not realize how bound I was until I was free. God allowed me to understand I had to find a way to release the bondage I was carrying around, totally to Him. I had tried my way to no avail, now God was saying cast your cares on me, because I care for you. (See 1Peter 5:7).
My question to God out of a sincere heart was how? How do I move past the hurt, shame, and guilt? How can I forgive when the pain is so real? This book will cause you to deal with some feelings that have been suppressed for years. It is a one on one encounter with God. If you are honest freedom is within your grasp...Are you ready to be free?

Описание: This book describes version 4 of CATS CM(R). This methodology for contract managementcan be used in both private and public sector organizations, and is valid for both demandand supply side.Contract management is the realization of intended contract objectives by proactivelymonitoring the fulfillment of all contractually established responsibilities, obligations,procedures, agreements, conditions and rates, resolving all ambiguities, contradictions andwhite spaces, managing all contract-related risks, and implementing all desired changes tothe contract, during the execution phase.CATS CM(R) offers a methodical and scalable approach to contract management. Itprovides a description of the principles, roles, and main issues for the contract managerand the best way of working. In addition to a description of the methodology, CATS CM(R)version 4 also offers specific tools for implementing contract management, for policy aswell as for processes.Increasingly, organizations recognize the importance of being in control of their businessecosystem. CATS CM(R) assists organizations to increase control of their joint responsibilityboth from a procurement and delivery point of view. A large number of organizations havechosen CATS CM(R) as the standard for their contract management processes.This new version of CATS CM(R) has been developed with these various practices in mind.CATS CM(R) version 4 is based on the principle that the management of a contract in execution has strong similarities on both sides of the contract, i.e. demand and supply; both can best be described as working in conjunction with each other.This book is intended for all who are responsible for, or deal with the execution ofcontracts: contract managers, business managers, delivery managers, project managers,service managers, facility managers, buyers, procurement managers, compliance managers,risk managers, account managers, sales managers and HR managers, along with theirdirectors and board members on both sides of the contract.
