"Thought provoking and fresh - this book challenges how we think about economics."
Gillian Tett, Financial Times For further information about recent publicity events and media coverage for Rethinking Capitalism please visit http://marianamazzucato.com/rethinking-capitalism/ Western capitalism is in crisis. For decades investment has been falling, living standards have stagnated or declined, and inequality has risen dramatically. Economic policy has neither reformed the financial system nor restored stable growth. Climate change meanwhile poses increasing risks to future prosperity. In this book some of the world's leading economists propose new ways of thinking about capitalism. In clear and compelling prose, each chapter shows how today's deep economic problems reflect the inadequacies of orthodox economic theory and the failure of policies informed by it. The chapters examine a range of contemporary economic issues, including fiscal and monetary policy, financial markets and business behaviour, inequality and privatisation, and innovation and environmental change. The authors set out alternative economic approaches which better explain how capitalism works, why it often doesn't, and how it can be made more innovative, inclusive and sustainable. Outlining a series of far-reaching policy reforms, Rethinking Capitalism offers a powerful challenge to mainstream economic debate, and new ideas to transform it.
Dieses essential gibt einen Überblick über die Werkzeuge des digitalen Kundenmanagements. Durch die steigende Nutzung neuer Medien hat sich auch das Kundenmanagement verändert. Kunden wollen alle Informationen schnell, einfach und insbesondere an jedem Ort vorfinden. Unternehmen stehen dabei vor der Herausforderung, dies zum einen technisch umzusetzen und zum anderen der Erwartungshaltung der Kunden mit neuen Entwicklungen nachzukommen. Welchen Stellenwert der Konsument einnimmt und welche unternehmerischen Handlungen relevant werden, sind Aspekte, die in diesem Band thematisiert werden.

Genau hier setzt Michael Jacob an: Der Autor geht im ersten Teil des Buches auf die Grundlagen der Digitalisierung und Nachhaltigkeit anhand der wichtigsten Modelle ein. Im zweiten Teil wird der Fokus auf die Frage gelegt, wie Unternehmen den Digitalisierungsprozess nachhaltig gestalten knnen. Ein kurzes Fazit rundet die beiden Hauptteile ab.Damit ist das Buch ein wichtiges Hilfsmittel, um Zielkonflikte zwischen den Bereichen Digitalisierung und Nachhaltigkeit zunächst zu erkennen und dann entsprechend entscheiden zu knnen. Somit knnen Unternehmen ihrer gesellschaftlichen Verantwortung (Corporate Social Responsibility) nachkommen. Ein Buch für alle, die eine kompakte Einführung in die beiden großen Themen unserer Zeit suchen.

`This is the Second Edition of a book first published in 1992 as part of the Key Figures in Counselling and Psychotherapy series edited by Windy Dryden. It has proved a successful introduction to the life and work of Sigmund Freud: in this present edition Michael Jacobs takes the opportunity of the new translation of Freud now appearing to offer more suggestions about reading, particularly the papers of technique available through Virago's 2001 publication of the Standard Edition' - The Journal of Analytical Psychology
In refreshing contrast to most other books on Sigmund Freud, this is a highly accessible account of his life and ideas, which focuses on the relevance of Freud's work for contemporary approaches to counselling and psychotherapy.
The book provides an overview which is based firmly on Freud's own writings, but which goes far beyond a recapitulation of the existing literature, to offer fresh insights and some surprises, both about Freud the man and his theories. Written by bestselling author, Michael Jacobs and now fully updated for its Second Edition, Sigmund Freud presents and responds to the criticisms that Freud's work attracted, and charts his continuing influence in the 21st century.
This is highly recommended reading for those training in counselling and psychotherapy as well as those studying Freud in other contexts.
Michael Jacobs is a retired lecturer in Counselling Studies and bestselling author whose publications include (in the same series), D W Winicott (SAGE, 1995) and Psychodynamic Counselling in Action, Second Edition (SAGE, 1999).
`The importance of Michael Jacobs' book lies in his attempt to convey... Winnicott's profound influence.... Jacobs rightly delights in the creativity and imagination of his subject and illustrates these with numerous quotations and descriptions from Winnicott's writings.... What is conveyed throughout the book is the essence of Winnicott.... [whose] gift was to make psychoanalytic language, methods and concepts more widely available, accepted and appreciated to a nonpsychoanalytic world' - British Psychological Society Counselling Psychology Review
One of the best-known British psychoanalysts, D W Winnicott attracts the interest of counsellors and psychotherapists far beyond the strict psychoanalytic tradition in which he was trained. He coined many phrases that have entered the discourse of therapy, such as `good enough mother', `transitional object' and `facilitating environment'. Winnicott has had a profound impact on research into the mother-baby relationship, and his unorthodox manner and sparkling writing style have attracted enthusiastic acclaim.
In this book, Michael Jacobs summarizes Winnicott's life and explains his major theoretical concepts. He also rigorously evaluates his practice as a clinician - for example, the holding and management of deeply regressed patients. While highlighting Winnicott's brilliance and creativity, Jacobs is not afraid to scrutinize his contributions more critically. He also discusses criticisms others have made of Winnicott, notably within the psychoanalytic movement. The final chapter assesses the influence of Winnicott's thinking in other countries as well as in Britain.
This book reminds us teachers about all the little things we can do to be more student-centric. It shows teachers how to "walk the walk," and shows teacher educators how to guide colleagues along a student-centered path. The book examines why we should and how we can promote student-student interaction to enable students to learn more and enjoy the process. It also offers simple but effective strategies for enhancing student motivation, a factor that many experts consider to be the most important determinant of success in educational endeavors. In addition, it examines diversity, particularly the many differences that exist among students, and explains simple, easy strategies for how this diversity can be not only taken into consideration, but actively celebrated.
T?his book teaches the key knowledge required for the use of ultrasound to guide many catheter based cardiac therapies. While live CME courses are now covering this material there are very few textbooks on this topic. A unique aspect of
this book is that it has many images to illustrate the teaching points. The use of minimally invasive treatments of
many cardiac diseases especially by catheter based therapies and devices is a
rapidly expanding discipline in cardiology and radiology. Cardiac ultrasound particularly
echocardiography is utilized extensively to guide these therapies. Many echocardiographers are being called upon
to guide these therapies but they have not been trained in this unique use of
echocardiography.
There is a plethora of literature on the topic of penetration testing, hacking, and related fields. These books are almost exclusively concerned with the technical execution of penetration testing and occasionally the thought process of the penetration tester themselves. There is little to no literature on the unique challenges presented by creating, developing, and managing a penetration testing team that is both effective and scalable. In addition, there is little to no literature on the subject of developing contractual client relationships, marketing, finding and developing talent, and how to drive penetration test execution to achieve client needs. This book changes all that.
The Business of Hacking is a one-of-a-kind book detailing the lessons the authors learned while building penetrating testing teams from the ground up, making them profitable, and constructing management principles that ensure team scalability. You will discover both the challenges you face as you develop your team of offensive security professionals and an understanding of how to overcome them. You will gain an understanding of the client’s requirements, how to meet them, and how to surpass them to provide clients with a uniquely professional experience.
The authors have spent combined decades working in various aspects of cybersecurity with a focus on offensive cybersecurity. Their experience spans military, government, and commercial industries with most of that time spent in senior leadership positions.
