＜p＞＜strong＞A razor-sharp analysis of how record-breaking exploits in extreme sport are redefining the limits of being human.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Right now, more people are risking their lives for their sports then ever before in history. As Thomas Pynchon once put it in ＜em＞Gravity's Rainbow＜/em＞, 'it is not often that Death is told so clearly to f@%* off'.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Over the past three decades, the bounds of the possible in action and adventure sports - from sky-diving to motocross to surfing and beyond - have been pushed farther and faster. A generation's worth of iconoclastic misfits have rewritten the rules of the feasible; not just raising the bar, but obliterating it altogether. Along the way, they have become a force pushing evolution relentlessly onward.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In a thrilling narrative that draws on biology, psychology, and philosophy, Steven Kotler asks why, at the tail end of the 20th century and the early portion of the 21st, are we seeing such a multi-sport assault on reality? Did we somehow slip through a wormhole to another universe where gravity is optional and common sense obsolete? And where - if anywhere - do our actual limits lie?＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Police Reform from the Bottom Up Officers and their Unions as Agents of Change【電子書籍】

＜p＞What role can and should police unions and rank-and-file officers play in driving and shaping police reform? Police unions and their members are often viewed as obstructionist and conservative, not as change agents. But reform efforts are much more likely to succeed when they are supported by the rank-and-file, and line officers have knowledge, skills and insights that can be invaluable in promoting reform. Efforts to involve police unions and rank-and-file officers in police reform are less common than they should be, but they are increasing, and there is a good deal to learn about policing, police reform and participatory management from the efforts made to date.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this pioneering volume, an international, cross-disciplinary collection of scholars and police unionists address a range of neglected questions, both empirical and theoretical, about the place of police officers themselves in the process of reform ? what it has been, and what it could be. They provide a fresh view of police reform as occurring from the bottom up rather than the top down. This book will be highly useful for practitioners and scholars who have a serious interest in the possibilities and limits of police organizational change.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book is based on special issues of ＜em＞Police Practice and Research＜/em＞ and ＜em＞Policing and Society.＜/em＞＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞The fetish, bondage and BDSM modeling industries are havens for predators. The industry attracts them, and has a hard time getting rid of them.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Guys with a camera, limited photography skills, and a craving for sexual adventure are common enough. They usually bring no more than an annoyance. They might negotiate for an hour of non-nude modeling but once they have you in rope, cut some of your clothes off... until you scream at them. Or, you shoot with them, but can't seem to shake the creepy feeling they give you, so you never shoot with them again.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A predator who counts on your desire to keep your modeling separate from the rest of your life will try to blackmail you into doing far more than you planned on doing for them.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Scam artists want not only those special poses from you; they want your money too. They have no intention of paying you, and instead will scam you into paying the bills they leave behind.＜/p＞ ＜p＞While the guy with a camera and a craving doesn't usually cause trouble, no model ever appreciates an encounter with a predator.＜/p＞ ＜p＞How can a model increase the odds of a fun, safe, positive session? Industry veterans say following these guidelines helps.＜/p＞ ＜p＞* Be aware that the fetish and bondage modeling scenes are havens for predators.＜br /＞ * Know about the risks you are taking.＜br /＞ * Negotiate what will happen at the shoot; settle the details in advance.＜br /＞ * Search for them online before you agree to meet.＜br /＞ * Require references.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Upward Bound Nine Original Accounts of How Business Leaders Reached Their Summits【電子書籍】[ Michael Useem ]

＜p＞Your team has faltered at a critical moment. A key member says he can’t continue, requiring you to make a snap decision: Do you write him off? Or do you risk the whole venture by trying to get him back on his feet?＜/p＞ ＜p＞It could be a scenario straight from the business world.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Yet this one occurred high on the slopes of the world’s deadliest mountain, K2, where lives, not just livelihoods, depended on the leader’s choice.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Decisions don’t get much starker. That’s why mountainsーthough seemingly a world apart from businessーhold unique and surprising insights for managers and entrepreneurs at any altitude. More than just symbols of our upward strivings, they are high-altitude management laboratories: testing grounds where risk, fear, opportunity, and ambition collide in the most unforgiving of settings.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Upward Bound＜/strong＞ brings together a remarkable team of nine writers equally at home among the high peaks and in the corridors of corporate power, including ＜strong＞Good to Great＜/strong＞ author Jim Collins, legendary climber and outdoor clothing entrepreneur Royal Robbins, and Stacy Allison, the first American woman to summit Mount Everest. Their riveting, often harrowing accounts, reveal＜/p＞ ＜p＞? Why rock climbers’ distinction between failure (giving up before reaching the edge of your abilities) and what they call “fallure” (committing 100 percent and using up all your energy and reserves) can help companies transcend their vertical limits＜br /＞ ? What happens when a leader abdicates responsibility in the Death Zone of Mount Everestーand how a similar vacuum at sea level can corrupt corporate purpose＜br /＞ ? How large climbing expeditions use exquisite organization and “pyramids of people” to place just two climbers on top, making heroes of some from the sacrifice of all＜br /＞ ? What “ridge-walking” between deadly avalanches and the lure of Mount McKinley’s summit taught a venture capitalist about nurturing risky high-tech start-ups＜br /＞ ? How a simple insightーusing “proximate goals”ーpropelled a faltering climber up El Capitan in a seemingly undoable solo ascent, a ten-day lesson that would later jump-start a business＜br /＞ ? Why more accessible peaks like Mount Sinai can exert a pull every bit as powerful as Mount Everest＜br /＞ ? How to think like a guide＜/p＞ ＜p＞While most people will never find themselves in the thin air of the world’s highest places, ＜strong＞Upward Bound＜/strong＞ brings those places down to earth for anyone seeking the path to his or her own summit. Whether it’s up the career ladder or toward a creative peak, ＜strong＞Upward Bound＜/strong＞ addresses the fundamental question of why we climb, while capturing the power of mountains to instruct as well as inspire.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Power Ambition Glory The Stunning Parallels between Great Leaders of the Ancient World and Today . . . and the Lessons You Can Learn【電子書籍】[ Steve Forbes ]

＜p＞Based on an extraordinary collaboration between Steve Forbes, chairman, CEO, and editor in chief of Forbes Media, and classics professor John Prevas, ＜em＞Power Ambition Glory＜/em＞ provides intriguing comparisons between six great leaders of the ancient world and contemporary business leaders.＜/p＞ ＜p＞? Great leaders not only have vision but know how to build structures to effect it. Cyrus the Great did so in creating an empire based on tolerance and inclusion, an approach highly unusual for his or any age. Jack Welch and John Chambers built their business empires using a similar approach, and like Cyrus, they remain the exceptions rather than the rule.＜br /＞ ? Great leaders know how to build consensus and motivate by doing what is right rather than what is in their self-interest. Xenophon put personal gain aside to lead his fellow Greeks out of a perilous situation in Persia?something very similar to what Lou Gerstner and Anne Mulcahy did in rescuing IBM and Xerox.＜br /＞ ? Character matters in leadership. Alexander the Great had exceptional leadership skills that enabled him to conquer the eastern half of the ancient world, but he was ultimately destroyed by his inability to manage his phenomenal success. The corporate world is full of similar examples, such as the now incarcerated Dennis Kozlowski, who, flush with success at the head of his empire, was driven down the highway of self-destruction by an out-of-control ego.＜br /＞ ? A great leader is one who challenges the conventional wisdom of the day and is able to think out of the box to pull off amazing feats. Hannibal did something no one in the ancient world thought possible; he crossed the Alps in winter to challenge Rome for control of the ancient world. That same innovative way of thinking enabled Serge Brin and Larry Page of Google to challenge and best two formidable competitors, Microsoft and Yahoo!＜br /＞ ? A leader must have ambition to succeed, and Julius Caesar had plenty of it. He set Rome on the path to empire, but his success made him believe he was a living god and blinded him to the dangers that eventually did him in. The parallels with corporate leaders and Wall Street master-of-the-universe types are numerous, but none more salient than Hank Greenberg, who built the AIG insurance empire only to be struck down at the height of his success by the corporate daggers of his directors.＜br /＞ ? And finally, leadership is about keeping a sane and modest perspective in the face of success and remaining focused on the fundamentals?the nuts and bolts of making an organization work day in and day out. Augustus saved Rome from dissolution after the assassination of Julius Caesar and ruled it for more than forty years, bringing the empire to the height of its power. What made him successful were personal humility, attention to the mundane details of building and maintaining an infrastructure, and the understanding of limits. Augustus set Rome on a course of prosperity and stability that lasted for centuries, just as Alfred Sloan, using many of the same approaches, built GM into the leviathan that until recently dominated the automotive business.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】How to Live on Twenty-Four Hours a Day【電子書籍】[ Arnold Bennett ]

＜p＞Arnold Bennett (1867-1931) was a self-designated English novelist. He wrote an astonishing quantity in a great variety of genres but also created a broad range of themes and characters. Winning a literary competition in "Tit-Bits" magazine in 1889 was the kick-off to his literary career. The early novels of Bennett played a significant role in the transition from the Victorian to the modern novel. A contemporary of Henry James, Joseph Conrad, and Thomas Hardy, he helped to develop the realistic movement in England. In his career, Bennett won only one major literary award, the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for his work "Riceyman Steps". "How to Live on Twenty-Four Hours a Da"y is part of a larger work entitled "How to Live". In this self-help volume, Bennett offers practical advice on how one might "live" as opposed to just "existing" within the limits of twenty-four hours a day. This quaint, but appealing book gives us a view into how to live one's life long before the advent of techonology.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Models. Behaving. Badly. Why Confusing Illusion with Reality Can Lead to Disaster, on Wall Street and in Life【電子書籍】[ Emanuel Derman ]

＜p＞Emanuel Derman was a quantitative analyst (Quant) at Goldman Sachs, one of the financial engineers whose mathematical models became crucial for Wall Street. The reliance investors put on such quantitative analysis was catastrophic for the economy, setting off the ongoing string of financial crises that began with the mortgage market in 2007 and continues through today. Here Derman looks at why people -- bankers in particular -- still put so much faith in these models, and why it's a terrible mistake to do so.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Though financial models imitate the style of physics and employ the language of mathematics, ultimately they deal with human beings. There is a fundamental difference between the aims and potential achievements of physics and those of finance. In physics, theories aim for a description of reality; in finance, at best, models can shoot only for a simplistic and very limited approximation to it. When we make a model involving human beings, we are trying to force the ugly stepsister's foot into Cinderella's pretty glass slipper. It doesn't fit without cutting off some of the essential parts. Physicists and economists have been too enthusiastic to acknowledge the limits of their equations in the sphere of human behavior--which of course is what economics is all about.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Models.Behaving.Badly＜/em＞ includes a personal account of Derman's childhood encounters with failed models--the oppressions of apartheid and the utopia of the kibbutz. He describes his experience as a physicist on Wall Street, the models quants generated, the benefits they brought and the problems, practical and ethical, they caused. Derman takes a close look at what a model is, and then highlights the differences between the successes of modeling in physics and its failures in economics. Describing the collapse of the subprime mortgage CDO market in 2007, Derman urges us to stop the na?ve reliance on these models, and offers suggestions for mending them. This is a fascinating, lyrical, and very human look behind the curtain at the intersection between mathematics and human nature.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Distant Strangers Ethics, Psychology, and Global Poverty【電子書籍】[ Judith Lichtenberg ]

＜p＞What must affluent people do to alleviate global poverty? This question has occupied moral and political philosophers for forty years. But the controversy has reached an impasse: approaches like utilitarianism and libertarianism either demand too much of ordinary mortals or else let them off the hook. In Distant Strangers, Judith Lichtenberg shows how a preoccupation with standard moral theories and with the concepts of duty and obligation have led philosophers astray. She argues that there are serious limits to what can be demanded of ordinary human beings, but this does not mean we must abandon the moral imperative to reduce poverty. Drawing on findings from behavioral economics and psychology, she shows how we can motivate better-off people to lessen poverty without demanding unrealistic levels of moral virtue. Lichtenberg argues convincingly that this approach is not only practically, but morally, appropriate.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Scope of Tolerance Studies on the Costs of Free Expression and Freedom of the Press【電子書籍】[ Raphael Cohen-Almagor ]

＜p＞One of the dangers in any political system is that the principles that underlie and characterize it may, through their application, bring about its destruction. Liberal democracy is no exception. Moreover, because democracy is relatively a young phenomenon, it lacks experience in dealing with pitfalls involved in the working of the system - the ‘catch’ of democracy.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This is an interdisciplinary study concerned with the limits of tolerance, this ‘democratic catch’, and the costs of freedom of expression. Rights are costly, and someone must pay for them. We can and should ask about the justification for bearing the costs, weighing them against the harms inflicted upon society as a result of a wide scope of tolerance.
