Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. Text in English. 247 pp. Dust jacket has slight shelf wear to exterior. Faded spine. Arthur Squires tells stories of governmental successes and failures in managing technological change ? of Sweden's Vasa, a "tender ship" that sank minutes away f…rom dockside on her maiden voyage in 1628; ? of Oak Ridge's K-25, the brilliantly engineered gaseous diffusion plant that enriched Uranium-235 for the bomb dropped over Hiroshima; ? of the U.S. Army's M-16 rifle, whose failures in combat put names on the Vietnam memorial wall; and other stories illustrating ? how large enterprise fares well when managed by maestros of technology working in an atmosphere of trust, and ? how badly enterprise can go when managed by distant, untrusting bureaucrats who assume tasks according to signs on their doors. Squires proposes drastic changes in the U.S. Government's practices in managing technology, Will readers agree with his suggestions? Perhaps not in detail. Squires invites a debate: he calls urgently for the righting of our ship of state. Top-heavy with a sterile, obstructive bureaucracy, it is The Tender Ship -as tender as Sweden's Vasa.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Unsurprisingly, Arthur Squires presents us with a remarkable book. Unsurprisingly because this is a remarkable man - accomplished engineer, gifted musician, sensitive humanist, talented teacher, analytical observer, felicitous writer - altogether a m…an with the kind of breadth and depth that we rarely produce these days, and even more rarely tolerate in an age that worships specialization. Professor Squires has done a great many things in his life and has thought deeply about his experiences. The book that follows radiates not only that ongoing process of reflection, but also a dazzling range of reading and a lifetime of conversations with colleagues and bosses, mentors and students, wise men and fools. What he has produced is that rare specimen indeed - a book that is a pleasure to read and that needs to be read by every informed citizen. The Tender Ship focuses on the intersection of the most vital questions that confront American society - or indeed any modern, industrial society, however defined. No historical example exists of a society that has reached such a status without creating bureaucracies to manage its public and private sectors. Maintenance of national well-being depends, at least in part, on a nation's ability to generate and adopt the technology necessary to maintain economic competitiveness and, in the case of the United States, a credible force with which to defend ourselves and our allies.
