Описание: First published in 1913, this valuable and scholarly work is an account of the flow of population from the British Isles to the United States and Canada during the nineteenth century and the author`s extensive researches into government reports and papers has brought together a great deal of material which gives his book an important place as an authority on British emigration.
At the apex of international Cold War tension, an alliance of Greek military leaders seized power in Athens. Seven years of violent political repression followed in Greece, yet as Cold War allies, the Greek colonels had continued international support- especially from Britain. Why did successive governments, those of Harold Wilson and Edward Heath, choose to pursue an alliance with these military dictators? Alexandros Nafpliotis' book examines British foreign policy towards Greece, exposing a guiding principle of pragmatism above all else. This is the first systematic study of Britain and the Greek military Junta of the early 1970s to be based on newly released National Archive documents, US and Greek sources and personal interviews with leading actors. Comparing and contrasting the attitudes of both Labour and Conservative governments towards the Junta in Greece, Nafpliotis outlines a great degree of continuity, as well as showing where and how moral and public relations issues were overcome in order to facilitate a close relationship with the colonels. 'Britain and the Greek Colonels' is a comprehensive history of international diplomacy and realpolitik in the Cold War period and will be essential reading for students and scholars of Cold War history, the history of modern Greece and International Relations.

Описание: In 1950, just five years after the end of World War II, Britain and America again went to war--this time to try and combat the spread of communism in East Asia following the invasion of South Korea by communist forces from the North. This book charts the course of the UK-US 'special relationship' from the journey to war beginning in 1947 to the fall of the Labour government in 1951. Ian McLaine casts fresh light on relations between Truman and Attlee and their officials, diplomats and advisors, including Acheson and MacArthur. He shows how Britain was persuaded to join a war it could ill afford and was forced to rearm at great cost to the economy. The decision to participate in the war caused great strain to the Labour party--provoking the Bevan-Gaitskell split which was to keep the party out of office for the next decade. McLaine's revisionist study shows how disastrous the war was for the British--and for the Labour party in particular. It sheds important new light on UK-US relations during a key era in diplomatic and Cold War history.
The Official Leadership Checklist and Diary for Project Management Professionals is the consummate thought guide and performance tracker for PMP professionals to employ and deploy successful project leadership strategies. Most publications focus on the technical aspects of project management while giving little attention to the leadership aspects. This practical guide is designed to be a unique and personal leadership enhancing complement to the preeminent global standard for Project Management as set forth in the Project Management Book of Knowledge (PMBOK(R)).
The book contains an insightful and concise introduction to The Seven Habits of Successful Project Leaders(TM), a set of Project Leadership Checklists and a confidential Project Leadership Diary.
The Seven Habits of Successful Project Leaders(TM) succinctly reveals how any Project Professional can benefit from a deeper understanding of Industry and PMI best practices in:
Project Communications;
Team Building;
Change Management;
Visioning;
Problem Solving;
Project Quality and
Confidence Building.
The Project Leadership Checklists contain reassuring "phase-by-phase" affirmations of specific actions that should be taken during each project phase to increase a Project Manager's leadership presence and influence. Unlike typical project questionnaires, the Project Leadership Checklists are designed to be consulted daily during each phase of the project to benefit from its experience-based wisdom, vision and direction.
The Project Leadership Diary uniquely complements the Project Leadership Checklist. The Leadership Diary plays a vital role in the process of strengthening leadership presence and influence on any type of project. The Project Leadership Diary is structured to become a personal reflective journal - one you can refer to several times a day as a dashboard for your leadership accomplishments. At the end of the project, the Project Manager will own a "private reflective journal" to reference later for further development, to serve as a retrospective with his or her and to share with other project managers to help them enhance and grow their professional performance.
Based on reviews by many successful Program Management Professionals, The Official Leadership Checklist and Diary should instantly become one of the most valued and trusted tools in every successful Project Manager's toolkit and for mentors to gift to their protEgEs.

Автор: Laureano R. Hoyos; John S. McCartney Название: Novel Issues on Unsaturated Soil Mechanics and Rock Engineering ISBN: 3030019349 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783030019341 Издательство: Springer Рейтинг: Цена: 130430.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This volume discusses issues related to unsaturated soil mechanics and rock engineering based on technical papers focusing on two important topics in geotechnical engineering: (1) the characterization of unsaturated soils, and (2) the investigation of rock properties. The research studies on unsaturated soils include the characterization techniques of the unsaturated soils. The studies on rock properties include thermo-hydro-mechanical behavior of gypsum rock, soft rocks capacity, role of rock strength in blastability, indirect methods to estimate rock strength, and variations in isotope distributions in Permian rocks. The two broad themes in this collection, as summarized above, are representative of local challenges facing geotechnical engineers in the Middle East, but their contributions can also be extended to other regions of the world. The volume is based on the best contributions to the 2nd GeoMEast International Congress and Exhibition on Sustainable Civil Infrastructures, Egypt 2018 – The official international congress of the Soil-Structure Interaction Group in Egypt (SSIGE).

Описание: This volume is of interest to practical engineers. It discusses some contemporary issues related to soil mechanics in earthwork projects which are critical components in civil construction and often require detailed management techniques and unique solution methods to address failures. Being earth bound, earthwork is influenced by geomaterial properties at the onset of a project. Hence, an understanding of the in-situ soil properties is essential. Slope stability is a common problem facing earthwork construction, such as excavations and shored structures. Analytical methods for slope stability remain critical for researchers due to the mechanical complexity of the system. Striving for better earthwork project managements, the geotechnical engineering community continues to find improved testing techniques for determining sensitive properties of soil and rock, including stress-wave based, non-destructive testing methods. To minimize failure during earthwork construction, past case studies and data may reveal useful lessons and information to improve project management and minimize economic losses. This volume discusses these aspects using appropriate methods in a simple way. The volume is based on the best contributions to the 2nd GeoMEast International Congress and Exhibition on Sustainable Civil Infrastructures, Egypt 2018 – The official international congress of the Soil-Structure Interaction Group in Egypt (SSIGE).
