Описание: Extinct worlds live again in paleoart: artworks of fossil animals, plants, and environments carefully reconstructed from paleontological and geological data. Such artworks are widespread in popular culture, appearing in documentaries, museums, books, and magazines, and inspiring depictions of dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals in cinema. This book outlines how fossil animals and environments can be reconstructed from their fossils, explaining how paleoartists overcome gaps in fossil data and predict "soft-tissue" anatomies no longer present around fossil bones. It goes on to show how science and art can meet to produce compelling, interesting takes on ancient worlds, and explores the goals and limitations of this popular but rarely discussed art genre.
Автор: Alan Scott Haft Название: Harry Haft: Survivor of Auschwitz, Challenger of Rocky Marciano ISBN: 0815611196 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780815611196 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 8750.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть Описание: Alan Scott Haft provides the first-hand testimony of his father, Harry Haft, a holocaust victim with a singular story of endurance, desperation, and unrequited love. Harry Haft was a sixteen-year-old Polish Jew when he entered a concentration camp in 1944. Forced to fight other Jews in bare-knuckle bouts for the perverse entertainment of SS officers, Harry quickly learned that his own survival depended on his ability to fight and win. Haft details the inhumanity of the "sport" in which he must perform in brutal contests for the officers. Ultimately escaping the camp, Haft's experience left him an embittered and pugnacious young man. Determined to find freedom, Haft traveled to America and began a career as a professional boxer, quickly finding success using his sharp instincts and fierce confidence. In a historic battle, Haft fights in a match with Rocky Marciano, the future undefeated heavyweight champion of the world. Haft's boxing career takes him into the world of such boxing legends as Rocky Graziano, Roland La Starza, and Artie Levine, and he reveals new details about the rampant corruption at all levels of the sport. In sharp contrast to Elie Wiesel's scholarly, pious protagonist in Night, Harry Haft is an embattled survivor, challenging the reader's capacity to understand suffering and find compassion for an antihero whose will to survive threatens his own humanity. Haft's account, at once dispassionate and deeply absorbing, is an extraordinary story and an invaluable contribution to Holocaust literature.

Автор: Salama Название: Creating and ReCreating Corporate Entrepreneurial Culture ISBN: 1138219320 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781138219328 Издательство: Taylor&Francis Рейтинг: Цена: 54090.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: Entrepreneurship is often considered only in the context of new venture creation, small business issues, and the profiles and personalities of individual entrepreneurs. The emphasis in Creating and Re-Creating Corporate Entrepreneurial Culture is very much on the 'corporate', it focuses on the creation and maintenance of an entrepreneurial management culture that accelerates growth and enhances effectiveness and competitiveness in large organizations. Alzira Salama explains what constitutes entrepreneurial behaviour, how it is facilitated by organizational culture and why entrepreneurial corporate culture is fundamental to business success. She takes you through ways of identifying prevailing cultures and explains how cultures are reinforced or changed. Drawing on exemplary case studies from around the world, she tells the stories both of successful and unsuccessful interventions made in response to the need to move on from bureaucratic or authoritarian cultures. These include specific instances where the context has been privatization, merger and acquisition, transition in the wider economy, or a combination of any of these circumstances. This enlightening book will help managers and consultants, business educators, higher level students and those on executive programmes to understand the nature of an organization's culture, why it is as it is, whether it needs to change, and how it might be changed. Alzira Salama offers real world examples of how to create or re-create an entrepreneurial culture together with tools that will enable corporations to achieve it.

Автор: Mazurk John Название: Recreating Eden: When Humanity Achieves Immortality in this Existence ISBN: 1645843920 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781645843924 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 14670.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Humanity will achieve immortality in this existence in about three hundred years. That raises the question, what is humankind's immortal purpose in this existence? Is it to create throughout the universe a paradise for our species? If it is, how will people achieve an eternal paradise? That raises the question, what is paradise? According to religious beliefs, the concept of paradise varies. People who do not have religious beliefs have different concepts of what they believe paradise to be. Another question that will be asked is, why would anyone want to live forever in this existence? People of faith will accept that they are only reunited with their creator when they die. Some people will want to spend eternity in a virtual reality, and then there are those that want to spend eternity seeking eternal knowledge by exploring the universe. Paradise is not just a place, it's also a way of living, including interacting with others of like beliefs. It's differences in beliefs that cause differences resulting in challenges of how to settle the universe. Recreating Eden addresses these issues and suggest possible solutions that will need to be addressed when humanity achieves immortality in this existence.

Автор: Brazzi Barnes, Donna Название: Big dreams ISBN: 1647421861 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781647421861 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 17610.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Donna Brazzi Barnes knew from adolescence that her future lay beyond the bounds of the small California town she grew up in-but she didn`t know to what extent assumptions about the role of women would get in the way of her aspirations. In this memoir in essays, she shares how she took on-and overcame-the many obstacles she encountered on the way to realizing her big dreams.
In this extraordinary adventure memoir and tie-in to the PBS documentary, Tim Jarvis, one of the world's leading explorers, describes his modern-day journey to retrace, for the first time ever--and in period clothing and gear--the legendary 1914 expedition of Sir Ernest Shackleton.
In early 1914, British explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton and his team sailed for Antarctica, attempting to be the first to reach the South Pole. Instead of glory, Shackleton and his crew found themselves in an epic struggle for survival: a three-year odyssey on the ice and oceans of the Antarctic that endures as one of the world's most famous tales of adventure, endurance, and leadership ever recorded.
In the winter of 2013, celebrated explorer Tim Jarvis, a veteran of multiple polar expeditions, set out to recreate Sir Ernest Shackleton's treacherous voyage over sea and mountain, outfitted solely with authentic equipment--clothing, boots, food, and tools--from Shackleton's time, a feat that has never been successfully accomplished.
Shackleton's Epic is the remarkable record of Jarvis and his team's epic journey. Beautifully designed and illustrated with dozens of photographs from the original voyage and its modern reenactment, it is a visual feast for readers and historians alike, and an essential new chapter in the story that has inspired adventurers across every continent for a century.
