Having led change successfully at three sprawling, monumental organizations--the CIA, Texas A&M University, and the Department of Defense--Robert M. Gates offers the ultimate insider's look at how leaders can transform large organizations and companies. For many Americans, bureaucracy and corporate structure are code words for inertia. Gates knows that it doesn't have to be that way. With stunning clarity, he shares how simple plans, faithfully executed, can cut through the mire of bureaucracy to reform organizational culture. And he shows that great leaders listen and respond to their teams and embrace the power of compromise. Using the full weight of his wisdom, candor, and devotion to duty, he empowers leaders at any level to effectively implement his leadership strategies.

procession: a line of people moving in the same direction; a formal ceremony or celebration, as in a wedding, a funeral, a religious parade. Bestselling novelist and Governor Generals Awardwinning poet katherena vermettes third collection presents a series of poems reaching into what it means to be (at once) a descendant and a future ancestor, exploring the connections we have with one another and ourselves, amongst friends, and within families and Nations.In frank, heartfelt poems that move through body sovereignty and ancestral dreams, and from 80s childhood nostalgia to welcoming ones own babies, vermette unreels the story of a child, a parent, and soon, an elder, living in a prairie place that has always existed, though it looks much different to her now. This book is about being one small part of a large genealogy. A lineage is a line, and the procession, whether in celebration or in mourning, is ongoing. Autorid: katherena vermette

“The best book by far on the Pacific War” (The New York Times Book Review), this classic one-volume history of World War II in the Pacific draws on declassified intelligence files; British, American, and Japanese archival material; and military memoirs to provide a stunning and complete history of the conflict. This “superbly readable, insightful, gripping” (Washington Post Book World) contribution to WWII history combines impeccable research with electrifying detail and offers provocative interpretations of this brutal forty-four-month struggle. Author and historian Ronald H. Spector reassesses US and Japanese strategy and shows that the dual advance across the Pacific by MacArthur and Nimitz was more a pragmatic solution to bureaucratic, doctrinal, and public relations problems facing the Army and Navy than a strategic calculation. He also argues that Japan made its fatal error not in the Midway campaign but in abandoning its offensive strategy after that defeat and allowing itself to be drawn into a war of attrition. Spector skillfully takes us from top-secret strategy meetings in Washington, London, and Tokyo to distant beaches and remote Asian jungles with battle-weary GIs. He reveals that the US had secret plans to wage unrestricted submarine warfare against Japan months before Pearl Harbor and shows that MacArthur and his commanders ignored important intercepts of Japanese messages that would have saved thousands of lives in Papua and Leyte. Throughout, Spector contends that American decisions in the Pacific War were shaped more often by the struggles between the British and the Americans, and between the Army and the Navy, than by strategic considerations. Spector vividly recreates the major battles, little-known campaigns, and unfamiliar events leading up to the deadliest air raid ever, adding a new dimension to our understanding of the American war in the Pacific and the people and forces that determined its outcome.
The XXIII. International Congress for Analytical Psychology was held in Zürich, Switzerland in 2025, the birthplace of Analytical Psychology. 2025 also celebrated the 150th anniversary of Jung's birth and drew an unprecedented number of participants from worldwide, making this Congress the largest, most vital and collegial gathering in the history of Analytical Psychology. The pertinent Congress theme Experiences of the non-Understandable certainly contributed to the large number of rich and scholarly presentations that reflected on the conflicting dilemmas that face modern life with its increasingly global complexities. The Congress enabled in-between international spaces for sitting with unknown psychic contents without necessarily trying to solve them and the Congress offered ways of exploring complex themes via a rich program of pre-congress workshops, master classes, plenary and break-out presentations and posters.The Proceedings are published in two volumes: a printed version of the plenary presentations, and an e-book with the complete material presented at the Congress.This collection of papers offers an important cross-section and insight into contemporary Jungian thought, from classical theories and perspectives to the latest scientific research.From the Contents:An Interview with Dr Fanny Bewster by Deborah Stewart; Reflections on her Life Emma Jung-Rauschenbach: Dedicated to the Soul by Eggenberger-Jung, Fischer and LammersFrom Individuation through Synchronicity to the Psychoid Imagination and the Re-enchantment of the World by Joe Cambray BodyDreaming - An Approach to Our Times by Marian DunleaOn Death, Hope and Soul, When the Self Compensates Chaos by Kristina SchellenskiComing to terms with the Other.
