El allows herself to be lulled by the ease and safety that his wealth provides, becoming Bryce&’s little pet, and giving up her job, friends, and apartment in short order.

Manner of Death (A Jack Stapleton & Laurie Montgomery Novel #14)
by Robin CookIn the new fast-paced medical thriller from bestselling author Robin Cook, fan favorites Jack and Laurie are inadvertently drawn into a dangerous vortex of a series of homicides that have been cleverly staged as suicides.After Dr. Jack Stapleton&’s near-death confrontation with a medical serial killer, his wife, NYC Chief Medical Examiner Laurie Montgomery, is carrying the load both at work and at home. When Laurie insists that Dr. Ryan Sullivan—an underperforming senior pathology resident who is spending his required month at the medical examiner's office but who truly detests doing forensic autopsies—assist her on a suicide autopsy in hopes of stimulating his interest in the field, the last thing she expects is to be unwittingly drawn into a major conspiracy that puts her own life in jeopardy. Desperate to avoid performing as many forensic autopsies as possible, Dr. Ryan Sullivan offers to participate in a research project on a series of suicides put together by one of the medical legal investigators. These suicides, like the case Ryan analyzes with Laurie, hint at some bothersome questions about their "manner of death." Although the project was more of a ruse than a serious study, Ryan surprises himself by immediately uncovering unexpected shared commonalities. Most astonishing of all, Ryan's inquiries eventually put him and Laurie at risk by leading to a nefarious cancer diagnostics company that promotes the very latest, groundbreaking cancer screening technology in a shockingly self-serving and fraudulent fashion.
Manliness & Civilization: A Cultural History of Gender and Race in the United States, 1880–1917 (Women In Culture And Society Ser.)
by Gail BedermanWhen former heavyweight champion Jim Jeffries came out of retirement on the fourth of July, 1910 to fight current black heavywight champion Jack Johnson in Reno, Nevada, he boasted that he was doing it "for the sole purpose of proving that a white man is better than a negro." Jeffries, though, was trounced. Whites everywhere rioted. The furor, Gail Bederman demonstrates, was part of two fundamental and volatile national obsessions: manhood and racial dominance. In turn-of-the-century America, cultural ideals of manhood changed profoundly, as Victorian notions of self-restrained, moral manliness were challenged by ideals of an aggressive, overtly sexualized masculinity. Bederman traces this shift in values and shows how it brought together two seemingly contradictory ideals: the unfettered virility of racially "primitive" men and the refined superiority of "civilized" white men. Focusing on the lives and works of four very different Americans—Theodore Roosevelt, educator G. Stanley Hall, Ida B. Wells, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman—she illuminates the ideological, cultural, and social interests these ideals came to serve.

After a decades-long struggle with identity, he transitions from refugee to “ good” American, returning to his roots for redemption. He left his birthplace during a nuclear missile crisis.

Arriving in a foreign land which is at times unwelcoming, he struggles to assimilate while preserving his native soul. Eventually he finds redemption upon circling back to his roots when he returns to the island.

Maneuverable Formation Control in Constrained Space (ISSN)
by Dongyu Li Xiaomei Liu Qinglei Hu Shuzhi GeInspired by the community behaviors of animals and humans, cooperative control has been intensively studied by numerous researchers in recent years. Cooperative control aims to build a network system collectively driven by a global objective function in a distributed or centralized communication network and shows great application potential in a wide domain. From the perspective of cybernetics in network system cooperation, one of the main tasks is to design the formation control scheme for multiple intelligent unmanned systems, facilitating the achievements of hazardous missions – e.g., deep space exploration, cooperative military operation, and collaborative transportation. Various challenges in such real-world applications are driving the proposal of advanced formation control design, which is to be addressed to bring academic achievements into real industrial scenarios. This book extends the performance of formation control beyond classical dynamic or stationary geometric configurations, focusing on formation maneuverability that enables cooperative systems to keep suitable spacial configurations during agile maneuvers. This book embarks on an adventurous journey of maneuverable formation control in constrained space with limited resources, to accomplish the exploration of an unknown environment. The investigation of the real-world challenges, including model uncertainties, measurement inaccuracy, input saturation, output constraints, and spatial collision avoidance, brings the value of this book into the practical industry, rather than being limited to academics.
Managing the Post-Colony: Voices from Aotearoa, Australia and The Pacific (Managing the Post-Colony)
by Gavin Jack Michelle Evans Billie Lythberg Jason MikaThis edited book is the second in the book series “Managing the Post-Colony”. The book series is co-edited by Nimruji Jammulamadaka (IIM Calcutta, India) and Gavin Jack (Monash University, Australia). The book series seeks to present cutting-edge, critical, interdisciplinary, and geographically and culturally diverse perspectives on the contemporary nature, experience, and theorisation of managing and organising under conditions of postcoloniality. This book specifically presents voices and perspectives from Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia, and The Pacific, locations with shared and distinctive histories and present-day experiences of colonisation and imperialism. Ways of managing, organising, and doing business in these places demonstrate cultural continuity and change in such histories, present sites of postcolonial struggle, and diverse prospects for self-determined future-making. The book explores struggles and prospects of managing in the post-colony through qualitative empirical cases, historical and legal studies, conceptual essays and provocations, and interviews with Indigenous business leaders. It contributes to the ongoing diversification, provincialisation, and decolonisation of management and organisation studies and practice. A strong focus is placed on diverse Indigenous knowledges and experiences, including those of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, Pasifika, and Māori peoples, and insights into the capacity for Indigenous culture-specific modes of business to offer decolonising futures.

Managing Information Technology
by Francisco Castillo Korina MonosoThere are two different, interdependent components of IT that are important to a CIO: strategy, which is long-term; and tactical and operational concerns, which are short-term. Based on this distinction and its repercussions, this book clearly separates strategy from day-to-day operations and projects from operations – the two most important functions of a CIO.It starts by discussing the ideal organization of an IT department and the rationale behind it, and then goes on to debate the most pressing need – managing operations. It also explains some best industry standards and their practical implementation, and discusses project management, again highlighting the differences between the methodologies used in projects and those used in operations. A special chapter is devoted to the cutover of projects into operations, a critical aspect seldom discussed in detail. Other chapters touch on the management of IT portfolios, project governance, as well as agile project methodology,how it differs from the waterfall methodology, and when it is convenient to apply each. In this second edition, besides a number of corrections and updates throughout the text, chapter 8 on “Agile Project Management” replaces the former chapter 8 completely, and chapter 10 on “IT Security” has been newly introduced as this topic has become more and more important for both management and operations during the last six years.Taking the fundamental principles of IT service management and best practices in project management, the book offers a single, seamless reference for IT managers and professionals. It is highly practical, explaining how to apply these principles based on the author’s extensive experience in industry.

Management von Dienstleistungsprozessen: Service Co-Creation – Service Experience – Service Value
by Sabine Fließ Stefan Dyck Maarten VolkersDieses Buch behandelt die Grundlagen des Managements von Dienstleistungsprozessen. Da der Kunde immer am Dienstleistungsprozess mitwirkt, bringt er seine eigene Perspektive in den Prozess ein. Für Anbieter, die Dienstleistungsprozesse gestalten und steuern, ist es daher unabdingbar, die Sicht des Kunden zu verstehen (Co-Creation). Dies beinhaltet nicht nur die Sicht auf den Dienstleistungsprozess, sondern auch ein Verständnis dafür, wie der Kunde Dienstleistungsprozesse in sein Leben integriert. Dabei sind für den Kunden der Wert der Dienstleistung (Service Value) und seine Erfahrungen und Erlebnisse während des Dienstleistungsprozesses (Service Experience) zentral. Wie Dienstleistungsprozesse im Hinblick auf Service Value und Service Experience (Kundenperspektive) sowie Wettbewerbsvorteile, Effektivität und Effizienz (Anbieterperspektive) gestaltet und gesteuert werden können, ist Gegenstand dieses Werkes. Um die Kunden- und Anbieterperspektive gemeinsam zu verfolgen,haben die Autoren das Analyse-, Gestaltungs- und Steuerungsinstrument des ServiceBlueprint adaptiert, das auch gleichzeitig die Struktur des Buches bildet. In zeitlicher Hinsicht wird dabei der Dienstleistungsprozess in die Pre-Service-, die Service- und die Post-Service-Phase unterteilt. Auf der horizontalen Ebene werden die Kundensphäre, die gemeinsame Sphäre von Anbieter und Kunden sowie die Anbietersphäre differenziert. In den einzelnen Kapiteln werden die Sphären mit der zeitlichen Perspektive verknüpft, aus Kunden- und Anbietersicht beleuchtet und aufgezeigt, wie der Anbieter im Sinne eines erfolgreichen Managements den Dienstleistungsprozess gestalten und steuern kann. Im Mittelpunkt stehen dabei Konsumenten, aber viele Erkenntnisse lassen sich auch auf Unternehmen als Kunden übertragen.
