The Woman from the Second Floor

Editura: MASON CREST PUBL

Anul aparitiei: 2013

My story is a dream, a dream that came true against all odds and proved that dreams have no age nor boundaries. This book will tell my life story, my special story of difficulties, coping, sadness, joy and hope and, above all - of fulfillment. It's a story about a poor childhood within an interracial family, a story about a dream I held for sixty years during my difficult days - a dream that always remained behind the scenes, until it came true and proved that faith can make even the impossible achievable. Through my personal experiences I bring you with love to the province of my childhood, in Neve-Tzedek in Tel Aviv, the night of the establishment of the state of Israel; and embark on a journey from the tastes of the market, to the aroma burner, to the sound of the muezzin, to the grouping of the cultures, to a life of loyalty, betrayal and love - with optimism as a way of life. I hope you find in this book what I have found in my life: the humor and sadness, the difficulty and beauty, hope and faith, the dream and the fulfillment.

Exploring the Secrets of the Aurora

Editura: MASON CREST PUBL

Anul aparitiei: 2013

Prominent progress in science is inevitably associated with controversies. Thus, young researchers, in particular, have to learn how to persevere during the period of controversy and struggle for acceptance. Unfortunately, the skills needed are not taught in textbooks or monographs, which mostly describe the consensus of contemporary experts. This book, which is based on my own experiences as a scientist, describes the history of the progress made in auroral science and magnetospheric physics by providing examples of ideas, controversies, struggles, acceptance, and success in some instances. Although no general methodology (if any exists) is mentioned, I hope that the reader will learn about the history of progress in auroral science and examples (right or wrong) of dealing with the controversies.

Espiritu Santo by Anthony Palma

Editura: MASON CREST PUBL

Anul aparitiei: 2015

Preeminent scholar Anthony D. Palma looks to the Bible for a thorough understanding of the person and work of the Holy Spirit. Three major areas are explored and tested: a presentation of the commonly held theological beliefs regarding the Holy Spirit, an in-depth exploration of the Pentecostal teaching on the baptism in the Holy Spirit, and a discussion of the nature of spiritual gifts and whether the extraordinary gifts were withdrawn after the first century. Each part draws from the original languages and effectively fuses theology to everyday experience.

Beyond Competitive Advantage: How to Solve the Puzzle of Sustaining Growth While Creating Value

Editura: MASON CREST PUBL

Anul aparitiei: 2016

A competitive advantage just isn't enough.Your company is turning in regular profits every year, and its market share is only getting bigger. Competitors can't touch you. So why is your stock price so sluggish? The answer is as simple as it is cruel: investors aren't interested in history, and they already know you're profitable and competitive--that knowledge is baked into your stock price. The hard reality is that a competitive advantage just isn't enough. Investors want companies to surprise them with unexpected value, which means that you can outperform market expectations only if you as a leader know how to find, create, and deliver a series of multiple competitive advantages. This is why a corporate theory is so important. A good corporate theory provides a compass for those at the strategic helm, guiding their decisions about what assets and activities to pursue, what investments to make, and what strategies to adopt. Behind every long-term corporate success story lies a basic theory about how that company creates value. In Beyond Competitive Advantage, strategy professor Todd Zenger describes what makes a great corporate theory and helps readers understand the many tensions ...

The Three Box Solution: A Strategy for Leading Innovation

Editura: MASON CREST PUBL

Anul aparitiei: 2016

How to Innovate and Execute Leaders already know that innovation calls for a different set of activities, skills, methods, metrics, mind-sets, and leadership approaches. And it is well understood that creating a new business and optimizing an already existing one are two fundamentally different management challenges. The real problem for leaders is doing both, simultaneously. How do you meet the performance requirements of the existing business--one that is still thriving--while dramatically reinventing it? How do you envision a change in your current business model before a crisis forces you to abandon it? Innovation guru Vijay Govindarajan expands the leader's innovation tool kit with a simple and proven method for allocating the organization's energy, time, and resources--in balanced measure--across what he calls "the three boxes" - Box 1: The present--Manage the core business at peak profitability- Box 2: The past--Abandon ideas, practices, and attitudes that could inhibit innovation- Box 3: The future--Convert breakthrough ideas into new products and businesses The three-box framework makes leading innovation easier because it gives leaders a simple vocabulary and set of tools ...

Edge Strategy: A New Mindset for Profitable Growth

Editura: MASON CREST PUBL

Anul aparitiei: 2016

Are you missing opportunities for growth that are right in front of you? In today's volatile economic environment, filled with uncertainty and sudden change, the forces pushing you to stay focused on the core business are extremely powerful. Profiting from the core is crucial, but the danger is that overfocus on the core can blind companies. Scanning the horizon for new markets and new products can also be tempting, but risky. Fixating too much on either strategy can cause you to miss the substantial opportunities for growth that are often hidden in plain sight, at the edge of the core business. In this insightful yet practical book, strategy experts Alan Lewis and Dan McKone articulate a mindset that helps leaders recognize and capitalize on these opportunities. The Edge Strategy framework challenges how the boundaries of your existing products and services map to your customers' views of the world and then provides three different lenses through which you can see and leverage value: - Product edge. How to capture incremental profits and other benefits by slightly altering the elements and composition of a core offering- Journey edge. How to create and capture extra value by ...

The Reform of Family Law in Europe: The Equality of the Spouses Divorce Illegitimate Children

Editura: MASON CREST PUBL

Anul aparitiei: 2013

In the last few years European Family Law has undergone considerable changes. Although in the past law reform was slow, since 1969 the impetus for reform has gathered momentum. It is no exaggeration to say that the changes that have occurred in Europe in the last six or seven years have radically altered the very concept of the family in Europe. As a distinguished scholar and former editor of the Family Law volume of the International Encyclopaedia of Com- parative Law, Professor Max Rheinstein, has put it: 'These transformations are not fully completed anywhere. They have gone farthest in the countries of highest industrialization and in those of socialist rule. But they have set in wherever industrialization has obtained a foothold. The degree of 'modernization' offamily law may indeed be used as an index of a society's degree of Westernization. 'l Yet, such is the force of traditional patterns of thought that, although we are aware of distinct changes in various legal systems, the underlying and implied assumption is that family law can still move within the traditional framework. This is not surprising for, until comparatively recently at least family law was not thought of as ...
