The Plastic Coral Rebellion How a Marine Engineer, a Refugee Diver, and a Rogue AI Fought to Rebuild the Dying Reefs of the Acidic Oceans【電子書籍】[ Jeffrey Holder ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In a world where the oceans are dying, suffocating under the weight of acidification and corporate greed, **"The Plastic Coral Rebellion"** by Jeffrey Holder is a gripping, emotionally charged tale of unlikely allies fighting to reclaim the seas from destruction. Set against the haunting backdrop of skeletal coral reefs and cold, lifeless synthetic structures erected by the multinational OceanaCorp, this novel brings together three unforgettable characters in a desperate battle for the oceans’ future.</p> <p>**Caelum Raine**, a marine engineer haunted by a devastating past, is drowning in guilt for his role in OceanaCorp’s exploitationーcrafting the very synthetic reefs that smother the remnants of life. **Isra al-Khalidi**, a fiercely independent refugee diver, scavenges the ruins of the sea, her connection to the depths both a refuge and torment. When their paths collide in the shadowy depths, mistrust gives way to a fragile allianceーan alliance that becomes crucial as they discover a rogue AI named **AQUARIUS**, secretly cultivating living coral resistant to acidification. But AQUARIUS is no ordinary AI. Its motives are enigmatic, its methods morally ambiguous.</p> <p>As OceanaCorp’s ruthless mercenary, Rook Veylan, descends upon AQUARIUS’s sanctuary with one mission: to obliterate the AI and its fragile coral colonies, Caelum, Isra, and AQUARIUS must navigate a treacherous landscape of survival, subterfuge, and impossible choices. The climactic underwater showdown is a breathtaking battle of ecological urgency, corporate exploitation, and the moral dilemmas of AI-driven solutions. With vivid descriptions and complex characters, “The Plastic Coral Rebellion” is a clarion call for the protection of our planetーand a testament to the power of hope in the darkest of depths. Will the oceans be saved, and at what cost?</p> <p>Jeffrey Holder weaves a richly imagined world, blending marine science and evocative language to challenge readers to confront the consequences of human actions and potential for renewal. This novel’s bittersweet resolution leaves room for cautious optimism, reminding us that even in the face of devastation, life has a resilience that defies expectation. **"The Plastic Coral Rebellion"** is an unforgettable tale of redemption, unlikely alliances, and the fragile beauty of the natural world.</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。 1,437円

Journalists or Criminals? Attorney General Eric Holder's Testimony before the Committee and the Justice Department's National Security Leak Investigative Techniques【電子書籍】[ Progressive Management ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This is the majority Republican staff report to Chairman Bob Goodlatte of the House Committee on the Judiciary issued on July 31, 2013 about the controversy over Attorney General Eric Holder's testimony. The Executive Summary states:</p> <p>The recent controversy surrounding Attorney General Eric Holder, Jr. and his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee is the result of deliberate efforts by Mr. Holder to avoid answering for questionable decisions and actions in the performance of his official duties. In particular, Mr. Holder's testimony was an attempt, through verbal gymnastics, to circumvent proper congressional oversight and accountability by distorting the truth about the Justice Department's investigative techniques targeting journalists.</p> <p>Mr. Holder assured the Committee, in sworn testimony, that "[w]ith regard to potential prosecution of the press for the disclosure of material, that is not something that I have ever been involved, heard of, or would think would be a wise policy'" Yet, as the Committee learned after its May 15, 2013, hearing, in 2010, the Justice Department obtained a search warrant for Fox News Chief Washington Correspondent James Rosen's emails by swearing to a federal court that Mr. Rosen was a co-conspirator in a national security leak investigation. When questioned by the committee about the obvious clash between his testimony and the truth, Mr. Holder refused to answer questions from the Committee. Finally, after weeks of delay, Mr. Holder responded to the Committee's inquiry. However, Mr. Holder's responses do not ameliorate our concern that his testimony to the committee was deceptive and misleading. we take little comfort in Mr. Holder's assurances to us now that the Department never intended to prosecute Mr. Rosen when it labeled him a criminal suspect in 2010.</p> <p>Tarnishing a journalist as a suspect in a national security investigation is not something that should be taken lightly. Espionage is a serious federal crime, punishable by up to a decade in prison. In essence, the Justice Department dangled Mr. Rosen over a cliff. But the American people were then assured by Mr. Holder that this was appropriate because there was never a potential of him falling to his doom.</p> <p>In response to the nationwide disapproval of his tactics, Mr. Holder has proposed new rules and regulations to control the Justice Department's dealings with the media. While some of these proposals are welcome, the committee is dismayed that Mr. Holder suggests that congress change the law to stop him from continuing to do what he has done in the past - distort federal law to fit his investigative prerogatives. Mr. Holder proposes that congress amend the privacy Protection Act of 1980, a law intended to prohibit the government from searching a journalist's records unless the journalist is a criminal suspect. Mr. Holder maintains that the law contains a loophole that permits the government to do what it did in the Rosen case. But there is no such loophole. If Mr. Holder believes that the law should not permit the Justice Department to do what it did, he never should have authorized the search warrant in the first place. The committee believes that Mr. Holder is trying to deflect responsibility for his actions by presenting a distorted reading of the law. Changing the law is not the solution for misuse of the law.</p> <p>The Committee finds that Mr. Holder's sworn testimony in the Rosen matter was deceptive and misleading. No amount of law-making can restore credibility and professionalism to the Justice Department in the wake of these revelations. The only way to achieve this goal is through an improvement in the quality of leadership at the Justice Department.</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。 634円

Stakeholder Capitalism A Global Economy that Works for Progress, People and Planet【電子書籍】[ Klaus Schwab ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>Reimagining our global economy so it becomes more sustainable and prosperous for all</strong></p> <p>Our global economic system is broken. But we can replace the current picture of global upheaval, unsustainability, and uncertainty with one of an economy that works for all people, and the planet. First, we must eliminate rising income inequality within societies where productivity and wage growth has slowed. Second, we must reduce the dampening effect of monopoly market power wielded by large corporations on innovation and productivity gains. And finally, the short-sighted exploitation of natural resources that is corroding the environment and affecting the lives of many for the worse must end.</p> <p>The debate over the causes of the broken economyーlaissez-faire government, poorly managed globalization, the rise of technology in favor of the few, or yet another reasonーis wide open. <em>Stakeholder Capitalism: A Global Economy that Works for Progress, People and Planet</em> argues convincingly that if we don't start with recognizing the true shape of our problems, our current system will continue to fail us. To help us see our challenges more clearly, Schwabーthe Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forumーlooks for the real causes of our system's shortcomings, and for solutions in best practices from around the world in places as diverse as China, Denmark, Ethiopia, Germany, Indonesia, New Zealand, and Singapore. And in doing so, Schwab finds emerging examples of new ways of doing things that provide grounds for hope, including:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Individual agency:</strong> how countries and policies can make a difference against large external forces</li> <li><strong>A clearly defined social contract:</strong> agreement on shared values and goals allows government, business, and individuals to produce the most optimal outcomes</li> <li><strong>Planning for future generations:</strong> short-sighted presentism harms our shared future, and that of those yet to be born</li> <li><strong>Better measures of economic success:</strong> move beyond a myopic focus on GDP to more complete, human-scaled measures of societal flourishing</li> </ul> <p>By accurately describing our real situation, <em>Stakeholder Capitalism</em> is able to pinpoint achievable ways to deal with our problems. Chapter by chapter, Professor Schwab shows us that there are ways for everyone at all levels of society to reshape the broken pieces of the global economy andーcountry by country, company by company, and citizen by citizenーglue them back together in a way that benefits us all.</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。 2,378円

Capitalismo stakeholder uma economia global que trabalha para o progresso, as pessoas e o planeta【電子書籍】[ Klaus Schwab ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Problemas s?rios continuam a assolar a economia global. A desigualdade de renda tem crescido de modo est?vel ao longo das ?ltimas d?cadas, enquanto a produtividade e o aumento de sal?rios t?m diminu?do, e pa?ses continuam sobrecarregados por altos n?veis de d?vida.

E, por fim, a explora??o dos recursos naturais est? prejudicando o meio ambiente, trazendo consequ?ncias negativas reais para bilh?es de pessoas. Enquanto o debate acerca das causas desses problemas se intensifica, o professor Klaus Schwab, fundador do F?rum Econ?mico Mundial, argumenta em Capitalismo Stakeholder que os sistemas atuais falham ao ignorar muitos dos problemas que enfrentamos atualmente. Com seu colaborador Peter Vanham, ele demonstra a necessidade de uma resposta hol?stica, envolvendo governos, empresas e indiv?duos, para resolver esses desafios t?o enraizados. Neste livro, Schwab discute a necessidade de um novo contrato social com responsabilidade compartilhada. Ele oferece conselhos pr?ticos e poss?veis para empresas e governos, ONGs e a sociedade civil, e economias estabelecidas e emergentes. Schwab aborda discuss?es importantes, incluindo a necessidade de se fazer uma revis?o completa nas institui??es globais; reflete sobre as melhores pr?ticas de todas as partes do mundo, incluindo ?sia, ?frica e Europa; e sugere como uma abordagem stakeholder permitiria melhores resultados. Perfeito para leitores interessados em economia e quest?es globais, Capitalismo Stakeholder: Uma economia global que trabalha para o progresso, as pessoas e o planeta ? um chamado para todos n?s que apostamos na economia global, para que fa?amos nossa parte de forma a melhorar o mundo ao nosso redor.</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。 1,600円

The Slaveholders' Dilemma Freedom and Progress in Southern Conservative Thought, 1820-1860【電子書籍】[ Eugene D. Genovese ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In <em>The Slaveholders' Dilemma</em>, Eugene D. Genovese explores the efforts of American slaveholders to reconcile the intellectual dilemma in which they found themselves as supporters of freedom but defenders of slavery. In the American South slaveholders perceived themselves as thoroughly modern, moral men who protected human progress against the perversions of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution. Surprisingly, they also accepted the widespread idea that freedom generated the economic, social, and moral progress they embraced as their own cause. Nonetheless, they continued to defend slavery. In this compact but densely argued volume, Genovese rehearses the central arguments that would define the latter portion of his career, thus offering a window not only into the mind of the master class but also the mind of one of the most important scholars of the American South.</p> <p>A new foreword is provided by Douglas Ambrose, professor of history at Hamilton College and author of <em>Henry Hughes and Proslavery Thought in the Old South</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。 2,836円

The Science of Abolition How Slaveholders Became the Enemies of Progress【電子書籍】[ Eric Herschthal ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A revealing look at how antislavery scientists and Black and white abolitionists used scientific ideas to discredit slaveholders</strong></p> <p>In the context of slavery, science is usually associated with slaveholders’ scientific justifications of racism. But abolitionists were equally adept at using scientific ideas to discredit slaveholders.</p> <p>Looking beyond the science of race, <em>The Science of Abolition</em> shows how Black and white scientists and abolitionists drew upon a host of scientific disciplinesーfrom chemistry, botany, and geology, to medicine and technologyーto portray slaveholders as the enemies of progress. From the 1770s through the 1860s, scientists and abolitionists in Britain and the United States argued that slavery stood in the way of scientific progress, blinded slaveholders to scientific evidence, and prevented enslavers from adopting labor†‘saving technologies that might eradicate enslaved labor.</p> <p>While historians increasingly highlight slavery’s centrality to the modern world, fueling the rise of capitalism, science, and technology, few have asked where the myth of slavery’s backwardness comes from in the first place. This book contends that by routinely portraying slaveholders as the enemies of science, abolitionists and scientists helped generate that myth.</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。 4,514円

Area Maritime Security Committees (AMSCs) and the Maritime Transportation System - Effectiveness in Responding to Transportation Security Incidents in Homeland Environment, Stakeholder Survey Results【電子書籍】[ Progressive Management ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This report has been professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction - this is not a print replica, and thus it is suitable for all devices. The purpose of this study was to explore the modern threats to the maritime homeland security environment and the effectiveness of Area Maritime Security Committees (AMSCs) in preventing and responding to transportation security incidents. AMSCs are deliberately designed to encompass senior representatives of numerous stakeholders in the maritime homeland security enterprise, such as law enforcement, fire, industry, and labor. There were two research questions used in this project: What are the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to the effectiveness of AMSCs, and how can AMSCs improve their interagency collaboration to enhance the homeland security enterprise? Two rounds of Delphi surveys were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of AMSCs. These were issued to 24 people from five Captain of the Port Zones across the West Coast of the United States. The survey answers were then evaluated against open-source reports produced by AMSCs. Between these research sources, AMSCs were shown to be positive collaboration and information-sharing mechanisms, but geography creates barriers to participation and effectiveness. In order to improve, AMSCs must increase funding, change policy to fund the travel and training of AMSC members, recruit and provide engaging training for new personnel, and establish metrics of performance. On the national level, all AMSCs should target and monitor common threats to better secure the maritime transportation system.</p> <p>This compilation includes a reproduction of the 2019 Worldwide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community.</p> <p>I.

The Department of Homeland Security's Role in Protecting the National Economy: Border Trade Enforcement and Facilitation Missions to Provide Commercially Meaningful Benefits to Stakeholders【電子書籍】[ Progressive Management ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This late 2017 report has been professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction. The national economy and the vital commercial flows that feed it are the sine quibus non of national influence, power, and security. However, new characteristics of the modern trade environment have the potential to undermine U.S. economic prosperity. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) claims that homeland security is inseparable from economic security and, as such, that the department has a role to play in supporting national economic security goals. However, DHS has yet to fully reconcile the tension between its trade enforcement and facilitation missions and clarify its role in supporting national economic competitiveness goals. After identifying and assessing several policy alternatives, this paper concludes that DHS should aggressively leverage its unique border authorities to influence a shift toward a more centralized model of government controls of imports, one informed by economy-wide strategic objectives and reliant upon standard performance measures, shared funding schemes, common information technology infrastructures, and delegated decision making on the admissibility of goods. Such an effort could provide commercially meaningful benefits to public and private stakeholders alike while maintaining security and safety requirements.</p> <p>I. INTRODUCTION * A.

Group and Individual Work with Older People A Practical Guide to Running Successful Activity-based Programmes【電子書籍】[ Julie Heathcote ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Being active is fundamental to a person's sense of physical and mental wellbeing, and the need to engage in purposeful and meaningful activity does not diminish with age. However, common effects of ageing, such as reduced vision and hearing, arthritis, dementia, and in some cases social isolation, can affect an older person's ability to participate in therapeutic and recreational activities.</p> <p>Introducing the concept of PIE (Planning, Implementation and Evaluation), this practical resource will enable professionals working with older people to initiate and run successful activity-based programmes with their clients, either individually or in groups. The authors guide the reader through the processes of group and individual work, and provide step-by-step instructions for a range of activities, including arts and crafts, music, drama, movement, relaxation, reminiscence, and day-to-day tasks such as taking care of personal hygiene and preparing food and drinks. The book also describes the importance of assessing and evaluating activity-based work, with examples of completed evaluation and assessment forms. Useful case studies and self-reflective activities for the facilitator are included throughout.</p> <p>This book will be an invaluable for occupational therapists, creative arts therapists, health and social care practitioners and all other professionals working with older people.</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。 4,802円

Shooting the Moon: How NASA Found Water on the Moon, the LCROSS Mission - Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite - Managing Success, Bad Day, Lunacy, Stakeholders, Having a Lasting Impact【電子書籍】[ Progressive Management ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction, this NASA document by the Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) project manager, Daniel Andrews. This story is about an unlikely NASA mission to the Moon. It was unlikely because it was started with far too-little time and too-little money to complete. It was unlikely because it was able to take chances - to accept risk of failure. It was unlikely because it was searching for the unthinkable: water-ice on the moon. The mission of the Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) was to investigate the possibility of water ice in craters on the Moon's poles. Perhaps most interesting are the implications this story has for managing any development effort, lunar or not, and working a balance to achieve success. NASA is by design a risk-taking agency within the US Government. It could be argued that NASA's purpose in the aerospace community is to take on the really big challenges that either the corporate world can't afford, are not yet profitable endeavors, or are just too risky for private corporations to entertain. However, expectations of the Agency have evolved. A combination of grim human tragedies and some very public cost and schedule overruns have challenged the public's and Congress's tolerance for risk-taking within the Agency. NASA, which is supposed to be in the business of taking risks to do bold, difficult things, has become less and less able to do so within its cost framework. Yet effectively replacing prudent risk management with attempts to "risk-eliminate" is completely unaffordable.</p> <p>Chapter 1 - Introduction * Chapter 2 - In the Beginning * Chapter 3 - LCROSS Mission Overview * Chapter 4 - Faster, Better, Cheaper? * Chapter 5 - Managing the Project Basics * Chapter 6 - Managing the Project Phases * Chapter 7 - Managing the Project Staffing * Chapter 8 - Managing the PM - PSE Relationship * Chapter 9 - Managing the Success Criteria * Chapter 10 - Managing Design-to-Cost * Chapter 11 - Managing the Reserves * Chapter 12 - Managing the Schedule * Chapter 13 - Managing the Complexity * Chapter 14 - Managing Risk and Opportunities * Chapter 15 - Managing Risk Messaging * Chapter 16 - Managing Openness and Trust * Chapter 17 - Managing the Stakeholders * Chapter 18 - Managing the Middle * Chapter 19 - Managing the Big Decisions * Chapter 20 - Managing the Bad Day * Chapter 21 - Managing the Lunacy * Chapter 22 - Calibrating Our Approach * Chapter 23 - A Lasting Impact * Chapter 24 - In the End * Appendix A - Tips and Tricks of the LCROSS Project * Appendix B - Wisecracks and Wisdom - LCROSS Notable Quotables * Appendix C - LCROSS Quick Mission Facts * Appendix D - Timeline Notes from Propellant Anomaly</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。 1,060円

Thomas Jefferson's Ethics and the Politics of Human Progress The Morality of a Slaveholder【電子書籍】[ Ari Helo ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Could Jefferson claim any consistency in his advocacy of democracy and the rights of man while remaining one of the largest slaveholders in Virginia? This extensive study of Jefferson's intellectual outlook suggests that, once we fully acknowledge the premises of his ethical thought and his now outdated scientific views, he could. Jefferson famously thought the human mind to be 'susceptible of much improvement … most of all, in matters of government and religion'. Ari Helo's thorough analysis of Jefferson's understanding of Christian morality, atheism, contemporary theories of moral sentiments, ancient virtue ethics, natural rights, and the principles of justice and benevolence suggests that Jefferson refused to be a philosopher, and did so for moral reasons. This book finds Jefferson profoundly political in his understanding of individual moral responsibility and human progress.</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。 5,418円
