Armac RACK Office On-line UPS PF1 R/2000I/PF1/DF - 8×IEC We provide reliable power for offices and professional applications. The new Armac Office On-line PF1 Dust-Free UPS series combines top-tier specifications with an attractive price. Thanks to online topology, 0 ms transfer time, and a perfect pure sine wave output, this UPS protects sensitive equipment from all voltage fluctuations. With a power factor of 1.0, you receive the full power you feed in without any unnecessary losses. Proven Performance for Businesses The PF1 series has long earned excellent reviews from business users, and the Dust-Free version raises the bar even higher. Fans now respond to 1% load changes, making the UPS quieter, more energy-efficient, and longer-lasting. Improved EMC design on the new motherboard and more durable batteries ensure years of stable operation. Dust-Free Design for Easy Maintenance The Dust-Free series features a removable dust filter. A quick front panel removal allows you to clean the filter with a damp cloth or vacuum, let it dry, and reinsert it-an operation that takes just a few minutes. Regular maintenance prevents dust, toner, and paper particles from settling on radiators, extending component lifespan. The dense perforated front panel directs airflow exactly where it is needed, and PWM-controlled fans adjust smoothly to load and temperature, ensuring cool, stable operation with minimal noise and fewer service interventions. Power Factor 1.0 - Maximum Efficiency In small and medium businesses, every watt countsboth in energy costs and heat generated by poorly designed equipment. A power factor of 1.0 means nearly 100% of the current drawn from the 230 V mains is delivered as usable power. For example, this UPS delivers 2000 VA / 2000 W of active power without wasting energy as reactive power. Compared to traditional PF 0.8 models, you gain up to 20% more capacity, allowing for a smaller, cheaper UPS or connecting additional workstations without risk of overload. High efficiency also reduces server room cooling costs and helps meet ESG objectives and EU energy efficiency directives. Instant Response Even millisecond power interruptions can halt production lines, corrupt CAD files, or interrupt POS transactions. This model uses double conversion online topology: AC input is first converted to DC, then back to pure AC, isolating sensitive devices from voltage fluctuations, spikes, and electromagnetic interference. If mains power fails, the UPS instantly switches to battery mode in less than 1 ms, maintaining uninterrupted operation for servers, NAS arrays, or routers. An additional ECO mode allows power to bypass the inverter at 99% efficiency when mains conditions are stable, giving flexibility to choose between full 24/7 protection or energy savings during low-demand periods. Extended Battery Life Batteries are the heart-and most expensive part-of any UPS. The PF1 Dust-Free includes intelligent battery management: Reduced Cut-Off Voltage - The microprocessor disconnects the battery at a higher voltage than standard, preventing deep discharges and extending battery life by up to 30%. Adjustable Threshold - Extend backup time for specific devices via the LCD or USB/RS-232 interface. Automatic Self-Test Every 60 Days - Simulates power loss, monitors battery capacity, and logs results. Alerts are sent only if thresholds are exceeded, enabling proactive maintenance. Temperature-Compensated Charging - Adapts charging current to ambient conditions, preventing overcharging in hot environments or undercharging in cold server rooms. With 9 Ah batteries, capacity is preserved for years, reducing operating costs and waste. Professional-Grade Performance For workstations rendering in Blender or training AI models on GPUs, you need real watts, not just VA ratings. PF 1.0 and higher-capacity 9 Ah batteries deliver 2000 W continuous power even at 40°C ambient temperature. Eight IEC 320 C13 sockets allow simultaneous protection of servers, storage, switches, and monitors. The unit is housed in a sturdy 19 RACK metal chassis, easily installed in a server cabinet. Easy Monitoring and Management USB and RS-232 ports offer plug-and-play connectivity for Windows, macOS, and Linux. The Smart-Slot supports SNMP or Modbus cards for integration with monitoring systems such as Zabbix or PRTG. PowerManager II software allows scheduling tests, logging, and sending email alerts-providing full control without visiting the server room. Comprehensive Safety A built-in processor monitors the UPS and connected devices. The UPS ensures automatic battery charging in standby mode and automatic restart after mains recovery. Overload protection safely shuts down connected devices, enhancing safety and user comfort. Ideal for Sensitive Equipment Thanks to its pure sine wave output in battery mode, this UPS is suitable for devices with electric motors or heating elements, such as laser printers, scanners, garage doors, electric blinds, or central heating systems. It is compatible with residual current devices up to 30 mA, eliminating the need for costly specialized breakers.

Celebrate The Beatles with rare photographs and a never-before-seen collection of removable, collectible memorabilia.At one time the most famous pop band in the world, The Beatles still hold center stage. Anyone who lived through the 1960s remembers them, and the digital remastering of their output has ensured that younger generations know them too. How could they not? The songs will live forever and are regularly used in film or TV scores, on advertisements, and on radio channels everywhere.With such coverage and interest, how can there be anything new to say about the band? The Beatles manages to do so thanks to the remarkable collection of photographs housed in Mirrorpix, the library of the Daily Mirror, Britain’s premier popular daily. With so much interest in the band, photographers were always looking to cover not just the major events that all the media attended, but smaller, more intimate moments. And then, of course, there were the paparazzi: The Beatles were perfect targets for this new breed of photographer who didn’t ask for permission to take their photos and followed George, Paul, John, and Ringo wherever they went.The book begins with an overview, starting with Brian Epstein’s birth in 1934 to The Beatles signing with him in 1961, in between covering their time in Liverpool, their start as the Quarrymen, their gigs in Hamburg, and the dawn of what would become their iconic hairstyles. Each ensuing chapter contains unique timelines that highlight notable daily activities each year, from concert dates, to personal matters (Paul marries Linda March 12, 1969), to epic events that solidify the group's fame forever (Apple Records launches August 11, 1968). The book finishes with a chapter on the band’s breakup and their lives, post-Beatles.Included are 15 removable reproductions of collectible memorabilia, including: Concert posters and flyers for the group’s performances, including at the Odeon (with Roy Orbison in 1963) and their record-breaking Shea Stadium appearance (1965)1963 program cover for a Royal performance in the presence of the Queen Mother at the Prince of Wales Theatre1963 signed souvenir card from their Scottish tour of Glasgow, Kirkcaldy, and DundeeCover from a pictorial commemorating their 1964 performances at Carnegie Hall1965 Christmas card signed by the Fab Four1966 advertisement for the band’s US single release, “Yellow Submarine/Eleanor Rigby”Cartoon and caricature cards Mirrorpix has a sensational collection of material that was taken to feed an insatiable desire to see the band, their families, hangers on, and what they all did. Record launches, publicity events, holidays, flights in and out of the country, TV broadcasts, film work, births, deaths, and marriages: every event was photographed. With this sort of coverage, unsurprisingly, much material was not published, and it is this treasure trove that is showcased in this rare and exciting collection. Collectors of all stripes will cherish the removable reproductions of memorabilia. <br><br> Autorid: Richard Havers <br>

Aside from novels, they all wrote short fiction stories, serials and plays and although many have been republished in books over the last 100 years, Bodies from the Library collects the ones that are impossible to find: stories that appeared in a newspaper, magazine or an anthology that has long been out of print; ephemeral works such as plays not aired, staged or screened for decades; and unpublished stories that were absorbed into an authors archive when they died . . . Complete with fascinating biographies by Tony Medawar of all the featured authors, this latest volume in the annual Bodies from the Library series once again brings into the daylight the forgotten, the lost and the unknown, and is an indispensable collection for any bookshelf. <br><br> Autorid: Tony Medawar <br>

Whether youre experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, or the aftermath of trauma, this groundbreaking book will show you how to become your own best healer. Brittany spent most of her life sitting across from therapists recalling the painful stories of her trauma. But rehashing each event being put into foster care as a baby, losing her brother in a car accident, enduring a brutal rape and a public trial, and more made her even more stuck. At a crossroads, she took her recovery into her own hands. On this journey, Brittany discovered science that explains how and why trauma lives in our bodies, not in the story of what happened to us.

With Brittany, you will learn how to: Name your core wounds, trauma responses, and stuck nervous system state Create feelings of safety and regulation with anchoring resources like exploratory orienting, movement, self-contact, etc. Fully experience an uncomfortable feeling with the Sensation, Image, Behaviour, Affect, Meaning framework Engage somatic tools, like air screaming for anger or limb shaking for anxiety, that help express uncomfortable emotion <br><br> Autorid: Brittany Piper <br>

"An urgent debut essay collection examining the effects of abandonment, imprisonment, and care, and how the power of love connects us all"-- Provided by publisher. "The Book of Kin is an expansive experience . . . beautiful, brave, and inventive."—Hanif AbdurraquibA remarkable debut that explores the imperfect ways we care for one another, and how we seek repair when care fails.“What’s our obligation to each other?” asks Jennifer Eli Bowen in this propulsive exploration of community, solitude, and love. Drawing on her experiences as a mother, daughter, and founder of the Minnesota Prison Writing Workshop, the country’s largest and most enduring prison-based literary organization, she examines the wild spectrum of shapes that care can take. She investigates the role of community across the world and in her own neighborhood, driven by a curiosity to uncover what might be gleaned from various vanishments in her own life: the shadow of her father, disappeared backyard chickens, a Moleskine notebook that passes in and out of her Little Free Library.Tracing both connection and its lack, Bowen uncovers what happens when it’s missing, how we find it, and how it heals individuals, communities, and systems—from the incarcerated caretakers of newborn foals in Norway to the time-bending drama of watching children grow into adults. And through this winding quest to understand love, she moves readers out of their complacency not only about the state of American incarceration, but about what we owe ourselves and society.Unflinching, vulnerable, and surprisingly funny, The Book of Kin encourages us not to abandon each other, reminding us that "harm is shared, and healing is too." <br><br> Autorid: Jennifer Eli Bowen <br>

"Inspired by true events, a thrilling Depression-era novel from the author of The Librarian of Burned Books about a woman's quest to uncover a mystery surrounding a local librarian and the Boxcar Library--a converted mining train that brought books to isolated rural towns in Montana"-- During the Great Depression, WPA editor Millie Lang is sent to Montana to investigate sabotage at her project and uncovers a mystery surrounding Alice Monroe, her Boxcar Library, and the disappearance of librarian Colette Durand years earlier. Simultaneous. Inspired by true events, a thrilling Depression-era novel from the author of The Librarian of Burned Books about a woman’s quest to uncover a mystery surrounding a local librarian and the Boxcar Library—a converted mining train that brought books to isolated rural towns in Montana.When Works Progress Administration (WPA) editor Millie Lang finds herself on the wrong end of a potential political scandal, she’s shipped off to Montana to work on the state’s American Guide Series—travel books intended to put the nation’s destitute writers to work. Millie arrives to an eclectic staff claiming their missed deadlines are due to sabotage, possibly from the state’s powerful Copper Kings who don’t want their long and bloody history with union organizers aired for the rest of the country to read. But Millie begins to suspect that the answer might instead lie with the town’s mysterious librarian, Alice Monroe. More than a decade earlier, Alice Monroe created the Boxcar Library in order to deliver books to isolated mining towns where men longed for entertainment and connection. Alice thought she found the perfect librarian to staff the train car in Colette Durand, a miner’s daughter with a shotgun and too many secrets behind her eyes. Now, no one in Missoula will tell Millie why both Alice and Colette went out on the inaugural journey of the Boxcar Library, but only Alice returned. The three women’s stories dramatically converge in the search to uncover what someone is so desperately trying to hide: what happened to Colette Durand.Inspired by the fascinating, true history of Missoula’s Boxcar Library, the novel blends the story of the strong, courageous women who survived and thrived in the rough and rowdy West with that of the power of standing together to fight for workers’ lives. And through it all shines the capacity of books to provide connection and light to those who need it most. <br><br> Autorid: Brianna Labuskes <br>

Provides the true story of the young genius who, while plowing his fields in Idaho, came up with the idea of television and carried it out by successfully transmitting the first image over the airwaves; later battling with, and winning a lawsuit against RCA, who tried to take credit for his invention. Simultaneous. An inspiring true story of a boy genius.Plowing a potato field in 1920, a 14-year-old farm boy from Idaho saw in the parallel rows of overturned earth a way to “make pictures fly through the air.” This boy was not a magician; he was a scientific genius and just eight years later he made his brainstorm in the potato field a reality by transmitting the world’s first television image. This fascinating picture-book biography of Philo Farnsworth covers his early interest in machines and electricity, leading up to how he put it all together in one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century. The author’s afterword discusses the lawsuit Farnsworth waged and won against RCA when his high school science teacher testified that Philo’s invention of television was years before RCA’s. <br><br> Autorid: Kathleen Krull, Greg Couch <br>

Brian Boru is the most famous Irish person before the modern era, whose death at the Battle of Clontarf in 1014 is one of the few events in the whole of Irelands medieval history to retain a place in the popular imagination. Once, we were told that Brian, the great Christian king, gave his life in a battle on Good Friday against pagan Viking enemies whose defeat banished them from Ireland forever. More recent interpretations of the Battle of Clontarf have played down the role of the Vikings and portrayed it as merely the final act in a rebellion against Brian, the king of Munster, by his enemies in Leinster and Dublin. This book proposes a far-reaching reassessment of Brian Boru and Clontarf. By examining Brians family history and tracing his career from its earliest days, it uncovers the origins of Brians greatness and explains precisely how he changed Irish political life forever. Brian Boru and the Battle of Clontarf offers a new interpretation of the role of the Vikings in Irish affairs and explains how Brian emerged from obscurity to attain the high-kingship of Ireland because of his exploitation of the Viking presence. And it concludes that Clontarf was deemed a triumph, despite Brians death, because of what he averteda major new Viking offensive in Irelandon that fateful day. Reviews: I cannot recommend enough Seán Duffys book for its readability and the enormity of backbreaking historical scholarship lightly borne and compellingly presented. Dr Pat Wallace, Director Emeritus of the National Museum of Ireland This scholarly, sympathetic book expertly unpicks legend and propaganda to uncover the real figure, offering an important reassessment of his place in Irish history.

The Royal Navy invented the aircraft carrier and most of the key innovations which have enabled carriers to remain effective, exploiting continuing changes in aircraft technology, from biplanes to supersonic jets. This book tells (and explains) how that happened over more than a century of British carrier development, based largely on declassified official documents, both British and US. Major themes include British domination of the early years of carrier development, and the audacious and highly original plans for their use during World War I, which inspired later naval thinking on the potential of carrier aviation. The introduction of armoured flight decks in the 1930s was only the first of a sequence of British innovations, the most important of which made it possible for carriers to operate jet aircraft (the angled deck, the steam catapult, and the mirror landing sight). These British developments, particularly the steam catapult, were crucial to the survival of the US carrier force in the postwar era, to an extent often forgotten. Later the Royal Navy produced the first commando carriers, and played a crucial role in the VSTOL carrier revolution, and continues to demonstrate originality and innovation as seen in the current pair of large carriers. This book covers all British-built carriers, including those in Commonwealth and foreign service, with the historical context, both operational and technical, explained in detail, as is the connection to larger British national concerns. The book is heavily illustrated with photographs, but also reproduces official plans from the National Maritime Museum, many of which have never previously been published. <br><br> Autorid: Norman Friedman <br>

The history of the Royal Navy flagships that led the fleet through the Cold War, ensured victory in the Falklands War, and saw action in Iraq and the Balkans. The history of the Royal Navy flagships that led the fleet through the Cold War, ensured victory in the Falklands War, and saw action in Iraq and the Balkans.In 1945, at the end of World War II, the Royal Navy's carrier fleet proved essential to the post-war world. Royal Navy carriers fought in the Korean War with the UN fleet, in the debacle at Suez, and in British operations in the last days of Empire, in Malaya, Borneo and Aden. But most famously, they were the key to the Royal Navy's victory in the Falklands campaign, and they went on to fight in the two Iraq wars.Illustrated throughout with new profiles of the key carriers and their development, as well as a cutaway of HMS Victorious and superb new illustrations of the carriers in action, this book explains how the Royal Navy's air power changed throughout the Cold War and beyond. Renowned naval historian Angus Konstam explains how the World War II carriers were rebuilt in a pioneering modernization that allowed them to operate a new generation of naval jets. As carriers became more expensive to operate, the Royal Navy had to scrap its conventional fast jets and introduce a new generation of light carriers designed for the innovative Harrier 'jump jet'. When the Falklands War broke out, it was one of these new carriers and one veteran carrier from World War II that gave the Task Force the fighters it needed to defend itself in hostile waters and retake the islands.Covering a period of dramatic change for the Royal Navy, this book is a history of the Royal Navy's most important ships throughout the Cold War, the retreat from Empire, and the Falklands and Iraq wars, up to the moment Royal Navy fixed-wing air power was temporarily axed in 2010. <br><br> Autorid: Angus Konstam <br>

Challenges popular beliefs about diet and prescription medications to counsel women on how to prevent bone loss and potentially reverse osteoporosis through a safe, dairy- and drug-free program that places an emphasis on low-acid, plant-based foods. Original. Lanou (health and wellness, U. of North Carolina) and American health journalist Castleman present concerned general readers with an alternative perspective on bone density and osteoporosis. Based on clinical studies and current medical information, they argue that diets rich in animal protein, including meat and dairy, add acid to the blood which actually contributes to bone loss. The solution lies in a combination of daily walking and a low-acid diet consisting mainly of fruits, vegetables, legumes, and soy products; sample menus and recipes are included in the text. The authors also provide information on other risk factors for osteoporosis and what individuals can do about them.

WINNER - TRAVEL GUIDE BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023 (British Guild of Travel Writers) Camping Road Trips: UK showcases a personal selection of 30 road trips throughout the UK and Jersey (Channel Islands), all suitable for campervans, motorhomes, long-distance cyclists and any other road user who likes camping. All have been handpicked by experienced travel writer Caroline Mills, who has over 20 years' experience of camping, caravanning and motorcaravanning. Whether a novice camper or experienced road-tripper, a solo adventurer or family group, these self-guided tours provide inspiration to explore a region of the UK slowly and intensively. There are routes of all distances, from weekends covering no more than 20 miles to routes of 500 miles and more for those enjoying a longer holiday - all while overnighting in some of Britain's most beautiful locations. Collectively the routes explore some of the UK's very best scenery - from coastal views and mountains, forests and national parks, vineyards, lakesides and riverbanks, to pastoral idylls, wilderness and vibrant cities brimming with architectural heritage. They follow rural lanes, mountain roads with cautiously exciting hairpin bends, national A-roads of historic note and the odd official touring route such as Scotland's famous North Coast 500. Routes allow time to explore unexpected destinations, while well-known places are here visited out-of-season to avoid congestion and encourage year-round camping. Many routes are themed, helping readers enjoy a region's food and drink, discover its gardens, or visit historic and cultural sites such as Lincolnshire's aviation history. Many encourage 'slow travel' activities like walking or cycling. You can explore Teesdale's traditional hay meadows and wildflowers on foot, let your tastebuds roam around England's increasingly influential sparkling-wine industry, discover the beauty of Northern Ireland's ancient Kingdom of Mourne, stay at a tea plantation on Dartmoor, or view Dover's famous White Cliffs from a rib. Camping Road Trips: Britain is written in a highly personal style, based upon the author's own travels - typically as a solo female or with her three children - and is designed to entice readers to explore a region further at their own pace, taking in their own interests to produce a relaxing and rewarding holiday. <br><br> Autorid: Caroline Mills <br>

Young Candide is ejected from his idyllic life in a protected castle and finds himself encountering wild adventures and harsh trials that put to the test his teacher’s claim that we live in the best of all possible worlds.Honest and simple to a fault, Candide finds that a bit of romance leads only to exile and sudden immersion in a larger and more frightening world. Armed with the optimistic teachings of his mentor Pangloss, he is soon astounded to be arrested, beaten and forced into military service. The author doesn’t spare his hero, hurling him into a shipwreck, an earthquake, a tidal wave and a city-wide wildfire in short order. Pursuing his true love and reunited with Pangloss, who interprets each new setback, no matter how horrific, as another sign that everything happens for the best, Candide refuses to abandon hope but begins to question his teacher’s bottomless optimism. An outrageous picaresque quest full of barbed observations about human behavior and belief, politics and institutions, Candide was condemned for the fiercely irreverent stance it delicately conceals beneath its hero’s guileless nature and chain of extravagant adventures. Triumphing over censorship, the book has had profound influence on philosophy and politics since its first appearance in 1759, but remains a classic that can be read for pure pleasure.With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Candide is both modern and readable. <br><br> Autorid: Voltaire, Mint Editions <br>

"The first biography of the late Mildred Dresselhaus, a pioneer of nanoscience, a champion for women in STEM, and recipient the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the National Medal of Science"-- Looks at the life of the trailblazing physicist and engineer who was one of the first female professors at MIT, making highly influential discoveries about the properties of carbon and other materials and helping reshape our world. Illustrations. The life of trailblazing physicist Mildred Dresselhaus, who expanded our understanding of the physical world.As a girl in New York City in the 1940s, Mildred “Millie” Dresselhaus was taught that there were only three career options open to women: secretary, nurse, or teacher. But sneaking into museums, purchasing three-cent copies of National Geographic, and devouring books on the history of science ignited in Dresselhaus (1930–2017) a passion for inquiry. In Carbon Queen, science writer Maia Weinstock describes how, with curiosity and drive, Dresselhaus defied expectations and forged a career as a pioneering scientist and engineer. Dresselhaus made highly influential discoveries about the properties of carbon and other materials and helped reshape our world in countless ways—from electronics to aviation to medicine to energy. She was also a trailblazer for women in STEM and a beloved educator, mentor, and colleague. Her path wasn’t easy. Dresselhaus’s Bronx childhood was impoverished. Her graduate adviser felt educating women was a waste of time. But Dresselhaus persisted, finding mentors in Nobel Prize–winning physicists Rosalyn Yalow and Enrico Fermi. Eventually, Dresselhaus became one of the first female professors at MIT, where she would spend nearly six decades. Weinstock explores the basics of Dresselhaus’s work in carbon nanoscience accessibly and engagingly, describing how she identified key properties of carbon forms, including graphite, buckyballs, nanotubes, and graphene, leading to applications that range from lighter, stronger aircraft to more energy-efficient and flexible electronics. <br><br> Autorid: Maia Weinstock <br>

Carbon is much more than a chemical element: it is a polymorphic entity with many faces, at once natural, cultural and social. Ranging across 10 million different compounds, carbon has as many personas in nature as it has roles in human life on Earth. And yet it rarely makes the headlines as anything other than the villain of our fossil-based economy, feeding an addiction which is driving dangerous levels of consumption and international conflict and which, left unchecked, could lead to our demise as a species. But the impact of CO on climate change only tells part of the story, and to demonise carbon as an element which will bring about the downfall of humanity is to reduce it to a pale shadow of itself. In this major new history of carbon, Bernadette Bensaude-Vincent and Sacha Loeve show that this omnipresent element is at the root of countless histories and adventures through time, thanks to its extraordinary versatility. Carbon has a long and prestigious CV: its work and achievements extend far beyond the burning of fossil fuels. The fourth most abundant element in the universe and the second most abundant element in the human body, carbon is the chemical basis of all known life. Carbon chemistry has a long history, with applications ranging from jewellery to heating, underpinning developments in metallurgy, textiles, pharmaceuticals, electronics, nanoscience and green technologies. A biography of carbon transgresses the boundaries between chemical and social existence, between nature and culture, forcing us to abandon the simplified image of carbon as the anti-hero of human civilization and enabling us to see instead the great diversity of carbon’s modes of existence. With scientific precision and literary flair, Bensaude-Vincent and Loeve unravel the surprising ways in which carbon has shaped our world, showing how unrecognisable the Earth would be without it. Uncovering the many hidden lives of carbon allows us to view our own with fresh eyes. <br><br> Autorid: Bernadette Bensaude-Vincent, Sacha Loeve, Stephen Muecke <br>

Higgins (Harvard Business School) investigates why Baxter International has spawned a disproportionate number of top managers in the U.S. biotech industry, and explores the factors associated with place, people, and paths that affect the cultivation of career imprints. A closing chapter offers six lessons for corporate executives, human resource managers, and intermediaries such as headhunters, who are engaged in senior executive career transitions. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Based on her research of 800 biotechnology companies and 3,200 biotechnology executives, Harvard Business School professor Monica Higgins discovered that one firm–Baxter–was the breeding ground for today’s most successful biotechnology ventures. This phenomena of one organization spawning an industry has also been seen in the high-tech (Hewlett-Packard) and semiconductor industries (Fairchild). However, until now there has been no suitable explanation of why and how these organizations were able to create the next generation of industry leaders. Career Imprints shows why Baxter was so successful in spawning senior executives and offers an understanding of what it takes for an organization to produce leaders that will dominate an industry for years to come. In this important book, Higgins shows that an organization’s "career imprint"¾the result of company systems, structure, strategy, and culture¾that employees take with them throughout their careers is the key to creating great leaders. By understanding these factors, staff, human resource executives, and CEOs can analyze their own organization’s career imprint and develop leaders. <br><br> Autorid: Monica C. Higgins, Edgar H.

This is the first fully-illustrated biography of one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th century, famous for his pioneering exploration of dreams, the unconscious, and spirituality. Carl Jung continues to be revered today as a true revolutionary who helped to shape psychology, provided a bridge between Western and Eastern spirituality, and brought into general awareness such fundamental concepts as archetypes, the collective unconscious, and synchronicity. In this important book, Claire Dunne chronicles Jung's journey of self-discovery from a childhood filled with visions both terrifying and profound, through his early professional success, to his rediscovery of spirituality in mid-life. Special attention is paid to the tumultuous relationships between Jung and Sigmund Freud, the unconventional yet vital role performed by his colleague, Toni Wolff, and the revelatory visions Jung experienced following a close brush with death.The words of Jung himself and those who shared his work and private life are shared verbatim, connected by Claire Dunne's lively and accessible commentary and by an evocative array of illustrations including photographs of Jung, his associates, and the environments in which he lived and worked, as well as art images both ancient and contemporary that reflect Jung's teachings. Jung emerges as a healer whose skills arose from having first attended to the wounds in his own soul.This is an essential work of reference as well as a fascinating and entertaining read for everyone interested in psychology, spirituality, and personal development. <br><br> Autorid: Claire Dunne <br>

'Cosy yet cleverly menacing, this fifth DI Garibaldi novel delivers classic whodunnit pleasures with a nostalgic twist, proving once again that even the most genteel London enclaves can harbour lethal grudges and long-buried secrets.' - Lisa Howells, Heat Crime Monthly. What goes around comes around. Every summer four friends gather at Barnes Fair to ride the carousel in memory of Esther, the school friend they lost in a car crash they were all involved in as teenagers. This year, the morning after the fair, one of those friends, Shelley Gregory, is found murdered on that very carousel. DI Garibaldi has questions to ask. Who killed Shelley, and why there? Is her death linked to the tragedy the friends commemorate each year, or do the answers lie closer to home in the quiet Thameside village of Barnes, where Shelley was well known but not always well liked? As Garibaldi pieces together the events of that summer night, he uncovers dark undercurrents beneath Barnes s genteel surface and begins to see the truth: what goes around comes around when you ride the carousel of time. <br><br> Autorid: Bernard O'Keeffe <br>

The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction proposes a new story of evolution by redefining technology as a cultural carrier bag rather than a weapon of domination. In The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction, visionary author Ursula K. Le Guin retells the story of human origin by redefining technology as a cultural carrier bag rather than a weapon of domination. Hacking the linear, progressive mode of the Techno-Heroic, the Carrier Bag Theory of human evolution proposes: before the tool that forces energy outward, we made the tool that brings energy home. Prior to the preeminence of sticks, swords and the Heros long, hard, killing tools, our ancestors greatest invention was the container: the basket of wild oats, the medicine bundle, the net made of your own hair, the home, the shrine, the place that contains whatever is sacred. The recipient, the holder, the story. The bag of stars. This influential essay opens a portal to terra ignota: unknown lands where the possibilities of human experience and knowledge can be discovered anew. <br><br> Autorid: Ursula K. Le Guin, Donna Haraway, Lee Bul <br>
