Описание: A BookBub Best Historical Fiction Book of 2022 ∙ A BookTrib Top Ten Historical Fiction Book of Spring ∙ A SheReads' Best Literary Historical Fiction Coming in 2022 ∙ A Reader's Digest's Best Books for Women Written by Female Authors ∙ A PopSugar Much-Anticipated 2022 Novel The dramatic story of how a humble bookseller fought against incredible odds to bring one of the most important books of the 20th century to the world in this new novel from the author of The Girl in White Gloves. When bookish young American Sylvia Beach opens Shakespeare and Company on a quiet street in Paris in 1919, she has no idea that she and her new bookstore will change the course of literature itself. Shakespeare and Company is more than a bookstore and lending library: Many of the prominent writers of the Lost Generation, like Ernest Hemingway, consider it a second home. It's where some of the most important literary friendships of the twentieth century are forged--none more so than the one between Irish writer James Joyce and Sylvia herself. When Joyce's controversial novel Ulysses is banned, Beach takes a massive risk and publishes it under the auspices of Shakespeare and Company. But the success and notoriety of publishing the most infamous and influential book of the century comes with steep costs. The future of her beloved store itself is threatened when Ulysses' success brings other publishers to woo Joyce away. Her most cherished relationships are put to the test as Paris is plunged deeper into the Depression and many expatriate friends return to America. As she faces painful personal and financial crises, Sylvia--a woman who has made it her mission to honor the life-changing impact of books--must decide what Shakespeare and Company truly means to her.

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.

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.

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.

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.
