Grammar Sense 4
by Susan KesnerGrammar Sense is a four-level discourse-based grammar series which focuses on the connection between form, meaning, and use of English structures. The series is based on the fundamental premise that English grammar is learnable and teachable if it is systematically organized and explained. Grammar Sense implements linguistic and applied linguistic research on how, where, when, and why native speakers use English structures, and how non-native speakers learn them. This series provides learners with a true understanding of how grammar is used in authentic contexts. Grammar is presented in discourse rather than in isolated sentences which allows the students to understand English grammar in real life situations.

Die Effektivität von Online-Reviews in Hersteller-Online-Shops (Applied Marketing Science / Angewandte Marketingforschung)
by Katharina Elisabeth KessingOnline-Bewertungen können Einzelhändlern helfen, die Unsicherheit der Kunden vor dem Kauf zu verringern, die Conversion-Rate zu erhöhen und den Umsatz zu steigern. Aber gelten diese Vorteile auch für Hersteller und ihre eigenen Online-Shops? Auf der Grundlage sozialpsychologischer Theorien und sechs experimenteller Studien untersucht Katharina Kessing die unterschiedliche Effektivität von Online-Reviews in Hersteller- und Händler-Online-Shops und identifiziert dabei zwei gegensätzliche Effekte: Online-Reviews, die in Hersteller-Online-Shops veröffentlicht werden, werden tendenziell als manipuliert wahrgenommen, sodass Kunden dem Hersteller ein größeres kommerzielles Interesse unterstellen. Dies wirkt sich wiederum negativ auf die Kaufabsicht aus. Zweitens können Online-Reviews das Gefühl der Dankbarkeit der Kunden gegenüber dem Online-Shop verstärken, was ihre Kaufabsichten steigert. Abschließend werden zwei effektive Strategien zur Reduktion der schädlichen Auswirkungen von Online-Reviews im Hersteller-Online-Shop vorgestellt: unabhängige Quellen und multidimensionale Ratings. Die Ergebnisse können Herstellern bei der Entscheidung helfen, ob und wie sie Online-Reviews in ihren eigenen Online-Shops veröffentlichen sollten.
How We Got Here: A Slightly Irreverent History of Technology & Markets
by Andy KesslerBest-selling author Andy Kessler ties up the loose ends from his provocative book, Running Money, with this history of breakthrough technology and the markets that funded them.Expanding on themes first raised in his tour de force, Running Money, Andy Kessler unpacks the entire history of Silicon Valley and Wall Street, from the Industrial Revolution to computers, communications, money, gold and stock markets. These stories cut (by an unscrupulous editor) from the original manuscript were intended as a primer on the ways in which new technologies develop from unprofitable curiosities to essential investments. Indeed, How We Got Here is the book Kessler wishes someone had handed him on his first day as a freshman engineering student at Cornell or on the day he started on Wall Street. This book connects the dots through history to how we got to where we are today.

The Art of Cyber Warfare: Strategic and Tactical Approaches for Attack and Defense in the Digital Age
by Peter KestnerThe Art of Cyber Warfare explores the strategic and tactical approaches for offense and defense in the digital age. Drawing on historical conflicts from Sun Tzu to Carl von Clausewitz, the author illustrates that, despite changed conditions such as time, location, means, and resources – but not the laws of physics – it is possible to learn from past actions and reactions.The author aims to demonstrate in this book that, in reality, we have only transferred old methods into our current era but have forgotten to translate their reasons, effects, and the resulting lessons. For, as it has been for thousands of years, the reasons for human-created conflicts remain the same: wealth, fame, power, honor, or desire. Can we learn something from history for present and future (cyber) wars?
Die Kunst des Cyberkrieges: Strategische und taktische Vorgehensweisen für Angriff und Verteidigung im digitalen Zeitalter
by Peter KestnerDie Kunst des Cyberkrieges greift die strategischen und taktischen Vorgehensweisen für Angriff und Verteidigung im digitalen Zeitalter auf. Dazu bedient sich der Autor historischer Konflikte (von Sun Tsu bis Carl von Clausewitz) und deren Ausgängen, um aufzuzeigen, dass es ungeachtet der veränderten Bedingungen wie Zeit, Ort, Mittel und Ressourcen – nicht aber der physikalischen Gesetze – möglich ist, von früheren Aktionen und deren Reaktionen zu lernen.Der Autor möchte mit diesem Buch zeigen, dass wir in Wirklichkeit nur alte Methoden in unser jetziges Zeitalter transferiert, aber dabei vergessen haben, deren Gründe und Auswirkungen und natürlich die daraus resultierenden Lehren mit zu übersetzen. Denn wie schon vor tausenden von Jahren sind und bleiben die Gründe für menschengeschaffene Konflikte immer dieselben: Reichtum, Ruhm, Macht, Ehre oder Lust. Kann man aus der Geschichte etwas für heutige und zukünftige (Cyber-)Kriege lernen?
