Half-Earth Socialism: A Plan to Save the Future from Extinction, Climate Change and Pandemics
by Troy Vettese Drew PendergrassA plan to save the earth and bring the good life to all In this thrilling and capacious book, Troy Vettese and Drew Pendergrass challenge the inertia of capitalism and the left alike and propose a radical plan to address climate disaster and guarantee the good life for all. Consumption in the Global North can&’t continue unabated, and we must give up the idea that humans can fully control the Earth through technological &“fixes&” which only wreak further havoc. Rather than allow the forces of the free market to destroy the planet, we must strive for a post-capitalist society able to guarantee the good life the entire planet. This plan, which they call Half-Earth Socialism, means we must: • rewild half the Earth to absorb carbon emissions and restore biodiversity • pursue a rapid transition to renewable energy, paired with drastic cuts in consumption by the world&’s wealthiest populations • enact global veganism to cut down on energy and land use • inaugurate worldwide socialist planning to efficiently and equitably manage production • welcome the participation of everyone—even you! Accompanied by a climate-modelling website inviting readers to design their own &“half earth,&” Vettese and Pendergrass offer us a visionary way forward—and our only hope for a future.
Halftime for Heidelberg
by Debora L. SparThe case follows President Rob Huntington as he seeks to find a viable way forward for Heidelberg University. Located in Tiffin, Ohio, Heidelberg is a small, private, four-year university. As with many similar institutions of higher education, it currently faces a daunting and mounting set of challenges, most of which stem from financial and demographic changes that are far beyond its control. During Huntington's eleven-year tenure, the university has experimented with a number of efforts aimed at attracting and retaining students. But in 2019, with enrollment, retention, and graduation rates stagnating and the university once again running a deficit, Huntington must consider more drastic measures. What can he do to underscore the "Heidelberg difference" and ensure that the university survives?
Halliburton's Army: How a Well-connected Texas Oil Company Revolutionized the Way America Makes War
by Pratap ChatterjeeHalliburton's Army is the first book to show, in shocking detail, how Halliburton really does business, in Iraq, and around the world. From its vital role as the logistical backbone of the U. S. occupation in Iraq--without Halliburton there could be no war or occupation--to its role in covering up gang-rape amongst its personnel in Baghdad, Halliburton's Army is a devastating bestiary of corporate malfeasance and political cronyism. Pratap Chatterjee--one of the world's leading authorities on corporate crime, fraud, and corruption--shows how Halliburton won and then lost its contracts in Iraq, what Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld did for it, and who the company paid off in the U. S. Congress. He brings us inside the Pentagon meetings, where Cheney and Rumsfeld made the decision to send Halliburton to Iraq--as well as many other hot-spots, including Somalia, Yugoslavia, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Guantánamo Bay, and, most recently, New Orleans. He travels to Dubai, where Halliburton has recently moved its headquarters, and exposes the company's freewheeling ways: executives leading the high life, bribes, graft, skimming, offshore subsidiaries, and the whole arsenal of fraud. Finally, Chatterjee reveals the human costs of the privatization of American military affairs, which is sustained almost entirely by low-paid unskilled Third World workers who work in incredibly dangerous conditions without any labor protection. Halliburton's Army is a hair-raising exposé of one of the world's most lethal corporations, essential reading for anyone concerned about the nexus of private companies, government, and war.

Halophyte Plant Diversity and Public Health
by Mushtaq Ahmad Muhammad Zafar Münir Öztürk Volkan Altay Moona NazishSalinity is one of the acute problems causing enormous yield loss in many regions of the world. This phenomenon is particularly pronounced in arid and semiarid regions. Halophytes can remove salt from various types of problematic soils due to their unique morphological, physiological and anatomical adaptations to these environments. Halophytes are also used for the treatment of certain diseases but scientific documentation in terms of current phytotherapic applications is deficient in this unique group of plants. Different ethnic groups around the world use medicinal halophytes according to their own beliefs and ancestor’s experiences. However, their knowledge about the use of salt tolerant medicinal plants is usually confined to their own community. There is thus a knowledge gap on halophytes which should be bridged and preserved. This book provides a comprehensive account on the distribution of halophytes, their ethnobotanical and medicinal aspects, economic importance, and chemical constituents along with scientific description. The book therefore serves as a valuable resource for professionals and researchers working in the fields of plant stress biology and ethnobotanical aspects.
Haltung: Warum die Wirtschaft mehr davon braucht – und die Architektur sie schon hat
by Alexander GutzmerSie ist zu einer Art Fetisch unserer Wirtschaftsdebatten geworden – die „Haltung“. Kaum ein großes CEO-Interview, in dem nicht irgendwann die Frage nach seiner oder Ihrer Haltung beziehungsweise der seines oder ihres Unternehmens zu diesem oder jenem großen gesellschaftlichen Thema auftaucht. In der Regel haben die Chefs auch ein einigermaßen brauchbares Arsenal an PR-tauglichen Floskeln parat. Aber das reicht nicht. Den enttäuschten Interviewern nicht. Und uns als Bürgern erst recht nicht. Und dennoch – wir wollen, dass unsere Vorstandschefs Haltung zeigen. Wir wollen, dass unsere Unternehmen erkennbar Position beziehen – und zwar gerade auch dann, wenn es weh tut. Genau das aber tun sie nicht. Wie auch? Keiner hat ihnen ja gesagt, wie Haltung beziehen geht. Oder woran man sich orientiert, wenn man eine Haltung explizit machen und mit konkreten Handlungsmustern verknüpfen will. Dieses Buch leistet dies. Es sucht nach einem gesellschaftlichen Teilbereich, der in der Entwicklung und Einforderung von Haltung Erfahrung hat. Und findet ihn – in der Architektur. Architekten sind es gewohnt, Haltungen zu entwickeln. Im Studium fordern Professoren diese ein, später die Bevölkerung. Was leisten Eure Gebäude, warum wollt Ihr, dass unsere Städte so aussehen, wie Ihr sie Euch vorstellt? Architekten sind, wenn sie ihrem Handwerk auf überzeugende Weise nachkommen, Haltungsmeister. Von ihnen kann man lernen, wie „Haltung“ geht. Um diese Lernprozesse - dargestellt am Beispiel der Architektur/ prägender Architekten - zu initiieren, schreibt Alexander Gutzmer, Chefredakteur der Architekturzeitschrift Baumeister und Professor für Medien und Kommunikation an der Berliner Quadriga-Hochschule, dieses Buch.

Hamburgers in Paradise: The Stories Behind the Food We Eat
by Louise O. FrescoA fascinating exploration of our past, present, and future relationship with foodFor the first time in human history, there is food in abundance throughout the world. More people than ever before are now freed of the struggle for daily survival, yet few of us are aware of how food lands on our plates. Behind every meal you eat, there is a story. Hamburgers in Paradise explains how.In this wise and passionate book, Louise Fresco takes readers on an enticing cultural journey to show how science has enabled us to overcome past scarcities—and why we have every reason to be optimistic about the future. Using hamburgers in the Garden of Eden as a metaphor for the confusion surrounding food today, she looks at everything from the dominance of supermarkets and the decrease of biodiversity to organic foods and GMOs. She casts doubt on many popular claims about sustainability, and takes issue with naïve rejections of globalization and the idealization of "true and honest" food. Fresco explores topics such as agriculture in human history, poverty and development, and surplus and obesity. She provides insightful discussions of basic foods such as bread, fish, and meat, and intertwines them with social topics like slow food and other gastronomy movements, the fear of technology and risk, food and climate change, the agricultural landscape, urban food systems, and food in art.The culmination of decades of research, Hamburgers in Paradise provides valuable insights into how our food is produced, how it is consumed, and how we can use the lessons of the past to design food systems to feed all humankind in the future.

Hamilton's Curse: How Jefferson's Arch Enemy Betrayed the American Revolution and What It Means for Americans Today
by Thomas J. DilorenzoTwo of the most influential figures in American history. Two opposing political philosophies. Two radically different visions for America. Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton were without question two of the most important Founding Fathers. They were also the fiercest of rivals. Of these two political titans, it is Jefferson---the revered author of the Declaration of Independence and our third president---who is better remembered today. But in fact it is Hamilton's political legacy that has triumphed---a legacy that has subverted the Constitution and transformed the federal government into the very leviathan state that our forefathers fought against in the American Revolution. How did we go from the Jeffersonian ideal of limited government to the bloated imperialist system of Hamilton's design? Acclaimed economic historian Thomas J. DiLorenzo provides the troubling answer in Hamilton's Curse. DiLorenzo reveals how Hamilton, first as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention and later as the nation's first and most influential treasury secretary, masterfully promoted an agenda of nationalist glory and interventionist economics---core beliefs that did not die with Hamilton in his fatal duel with Aaron Burr. Carried on through his political heirs, the Hamiltonian legacy: * Wrested control into the hands of the federal government by inventing the myth of the Constitution's "implied powers" * Established the imperial presidency (Hamilton himself proposed a permanent president---in other words, a king) * Devised a national banking system that imposes boom-and-bust cycles on the American economy * Saddled Americans with a massive national debt and oppressive taxation * Inflated the role of the federal courts in order to eviscerate individual liberties and state sovereignty * Pushed economic policies that lined the pockets of the wealthy and created a government system built on graft, spoils, and patronage * Transformed state governments from Jeffersonian bulwarks of liberty to beggars for federal crumbs By debunking the Hamiltonian myths perpetuated in recent admiring biographies, DiLorenzo exposes an uncomfortable truth: The American people are no longer the masters of their government but its servants. Only by restoring a system based on Jeffersonian ideals can Hamilton's curse be lifted, at last.
Hamilton's Industrial Heritage
by Richard N. PilandHamilton has been an important activity center in Butler County since its founding in 1791, as its proximity to the Great Miami River made it an ideal county seat and agricultural hub. Beginning in 1845, the Hamilton Hydraulic Company diverted the river's flow through town and developed a system that supplied cheap waterpower to area mills. By 1900, Hamilton was "the greatest manufacturing city of its size in the world," and by the 1940s it was home to several of the world's largest industries. Champion Paper milled coated paper, Niles Tool Works manufactured machine tools, Hooven-Owens-Rentschler built Corliss engines, Estate Stove made stoves, and Mosler and Herring-Hall-Marvin Safe Companies earned Hamilton its reputation as the "Safe Capital of the World." More than 150 factories and shops developed diverse product lists in the early 1900s, but only three of these businesses still operate in Hamilton today.
Hammer and Silicon: The Soviet Diaspora in the U.S. Innovation Economy — Immigration, Innovation, Institutions, Imprinting, and Identity
by Sheila M. Puffer Daniel J. McCarthy Daniel M. SatinskyThis deeply personal book tells the untold story of the significant contributions of technical professionals from the former Soviet Union to the US innovation economy, particularly in the sectors of software, social media, biotechnology, and medicine. Drawing upon in-depth interviews, it channels the voices and stories of more than 150 professionals who emigrated from 11 of the 15 former Soviet republics between the 1970s and 2015, and who currently work in the innovation hubs of Silicon Valley and Boston/Cambridge. Using the social science theories of institutions, imprinting, and identity, the authors analyze the political, social, economic, and educational forces that have characterized Soviet immigration over the past 40 years, showing how the particularities of the Soviet context may have benefited or challenged interviewees' work and social lives. The resulting mosaic of perspectives provides valuable insight into the impact of immigration on US economic development, specifically in high technology and innovation.

Handboek Onderhandelen voor insiders: Hoe onderhandel je op het randje en kom je ermee weg
by Passos Dias AguiarJe krijgt niet wat je verdient… je krijgt wat je onderhandelt! Als je je onderhandelingsvaardigheden wilt verbeteren, is dit boek iets voor jou. Onderhandelingsvaardigheden bepalen sterk het professionele en persoonlijke leven van elk individu. Deze vaardigheden kunnen je toekomstige succes voor een groot deel voorspellen. Mensen met betere onderhandelingsvaardigheden zijn anderen routinematig de baas door superieur intellect, meer kennis en ervaring, en zelfs meer lef. Veel mensen waren ten onrechte van mening dat onderhandelingsvaardigheden slechts van belang zijn voor die paar mensen die op speciale plekken bijeenkomen om deals te sluiten die de meesten van ons niet aangaan. Niets is minder waar: de baas onderhandelt met de medewerker, de man onderhandelt met de vrouw, de leerling onderhandelt met de leraar, de verkoper onderhandelt met de koper en de zoon onderhandelt met zijn moeder. Mensen die denken dat ze niet aan onderhandelingen deelnemen, doen het eigenlijk dagelijks, en ze winnen en verliezen bij elk van die interacties. Helaas hebben maar heel weinig mensen het voordeel gehad dat ze een onderhandelingstraining hebben gedaan. Dit boek neemt die handicap weg: het onthult de geheimen, tactieken en strategieën die worden gebruikt door gehaaide professionele internationale onderhandelaars. Hier is alles te vinden wat je nodig hebt om betere resultaten te behalen bij je persoonlijke en professionele onderhandelingen. Het leest makkelijk weg, dit is een boek dat je er vaak even bij zult pakken. Onderwerpen zijn onder meer: • De drie cruciale onderdelen van elke onderhandeling. • Bronnen van macht bij een onderhandeling. • Onderhandelingsstijl. • Openingstactieken. • Middenspeltactieken • Eindspeltactieken. • Omgaan met agressieve confrontaties. • Telefonisch onderhandelen. • Wat d
