Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Artful scenario spinning is a form of convergent thinking about divergent futures. It ensures that you are not always right about the future but-better-that you are almost never wrong about the future. The technology is powerful, simple, and enjoyable, and so is Schwartz s book.' -Stewart Brand What increasingly affects all of us, whether professional planners or individuals preparing for a better future, is not the tangibles of life-bottom-line numbers, for instance-but the intangibles: our hopes and fears, our beliefs and dreams. Only stories-scenarios-and our ability to visualize different kinds of futures adequately capture these intangibles. In The Art of the Long View, now for the first time in paperback and with the addition of an all-new User s Guide, Peter Schwartz outlines the 'scenaric' approach, giving you the tools for developing a strategic vision within your business. Schwartz describes the new techniques, originally developed within Royal/Dutch Shell, based on many of his firsthand scenario exercises with the world s leading institutions and companies, including the White House, EPA, BellSouth, PG&E, and the International Stock Exchange.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book offers a vigorous and constructive challenge to the various forms of anti-realist and cultural-relativist thinking. By examining a wide range of anti-realist theories, the author is able to highlight the problems, including the ethical dilemmas, to which they give rise, and in response offer a variety of arguments amounting to a strong defence of critical realism in the natural and social sciences. These arguments are drawn from a wide range of sources such as theoretical physics, philosophical semantics, deconstruction and critical theory. This book will thus be of interest to both students and scholars in the fields of critical theory, philosophy and history of science, and epistemology, demonstrating as it does the incoherence of anti-realist doctrines.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Until now the topic of gas dynamics has been included as a section in comprehensive textbooks on physical chemistry, or discussed at too high a level for undergraduate or graduate students. This book, based on courses given by the author in several countries, aims to fill this gap. To make the subject more accessible to students, there is avery strong emphasis on current applications of the theory. Part I introduces the kinetic theory of gases with relevance to molecular energies and intermolecular forces. Part II focuses on how these theories are used to explain real techniques and phenomena involving gases, allowing students to answer questions such as: 'How does a Laser work ' and 'What is a shock wave ' By stressing the practical implications, the book explains the theory of gas dynamics in a highly readable and comprehensible manner.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Environmental Management Systems (EMSs) are a way in which business and industry can implement a system of self-regulation on their processes, in order to aid the promotion of clean technology. This book brings together wide ranging analysis and practical experience on Environmental Management Systems and Cleaner Production. This highlights the importance of a clear understanding of complex environmental issues and the relative impact of business and industry, linked to national and international standards and regulations, in developing an efficient Environmental Management System. The book begins by addressing the global dimension of EMSs and Cleaner Production by identifying the strategies and policies used to promote cleaner production in industry and the drivers for voluntary EMSs like the international standard ISO 14001; and their implications for business and trade. This is followed by focusing on selected national perspectives, examining the policies, strategies and initiatives in the USA, Sweden, China, Hong Kong, New Zealand and Australia. The relative merits of regulation or self-regulation are also explored, including the UK situation and the EU's Eco-management and audit schemes (EMAS), and associated certification and accreditation schemes. The second half of the book covers industrial experience of EMSs, such as the British standard BS 7750, and case studies of cleaner production; drawing on practical sector experience and company case studies from Europe, the economies of South America and South Africa, Central and Eastern Europe, and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This book will prove to be an invaluable guide for business managers tackling EMSs and practitioners involved in cleaner production. It will also be a useful reference for local and regional government officials, policymakers and Environmental Management post-graduates.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Abweichend von dem in der Literatur üblichen Ansatz, wird die Momententheorie und ihre Anwendung hier aus dem Blickwinkel von Statistik, Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie und Analysis betrachtet. Zweck des Buches ist aufzuzeigen, daß die kanonischen Momente ein sehr leistungsstarkes Instrument sind zur Bestimmung der optimalen Versuchsplanung, zur Berechnung der Hauptmerkmale der Random-Walk-Theorie und zur Behandlung wahrscheinlichkeits- und statistikspezifischer Momentproblematik. Die Themenauswahl erfolgte unter dem Gesichtspunkt, daß einerseits anwendungsorientierte Leser einen ausreichend großen Einblick gewinnen, um mit dieser Problematik ganz konkret arbeiten zu können und andererseits Theoretiker eine erschöpfende Darstellung des mathematischen Hintergrundes erhalten.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A complete guide to selection and use of the best reagents for a wide range of transformationsThis book is the updated and expanded Second Edition of Jacqueline Seyden-Penne's practical guide to selection of reducing reagents in organic synthesis. It is an indispensable working resource for organic synthetic chemists-the only reference focusing exclusively on aluminohydrides and borohydrides and their derivatives.Simple to use, it is organized according to specific reductions so that chemists can more easily match the best reagent to a given transformation. Throughout, Dr. Seyden-Penne emphasizes four crucial categories: compatibility, possibilities for partial reduction, the regio- and stereoselectivity of reductions that are altered or controlled by neighboring groups, and asymmetric reductions.Extremely well-referenced, Reductions by the Alumino- and Borohydrides in Organic Synthesis provides the most up-to-date, detailed coverage of:\* Successful techniques for performing highly selective reductions\* Chemo-, regio-, stereo-, and enantioselective reductions of both simple and complex compounds\* Best methods for obtaining the main functional groups by hydridereduction, provided in quick-reference tabular form\* New and more selective reagents developed within the last five years\* Experimental conditions, including solvent and temperature, and yields for most cases described.
