Book Description
Kaylin Neya is a Hawk, part of the elite force tasked with keeping the City of Elantra safe. Her past is dark, her magic uncontrolled and her allies unpredictable. And nothing has prepared her for what is coming, when the charlatans on Elani Street suddenly grow powerful, the Oracles are thrown into an uproar and the skies rain blood…. The powerful of Elantra believe that the mysterious markings on Kaylin's skin hold the answer, and they are not averse to using her—how ever they have to—in order to discover what it is. Something is coming, breaking through the barriers between the worlds. But is it a threat that Kaylin needs to defend her city against—or has she been chosen for another reason entirely?

Author: Louis M Pecora
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9814499749
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
This volume describes the use of simple analog circuits to study nonlinear dynamics, chaos and stochastic resonance. The circuit experiments that are described are mostly easy and inexpensive to reproduce, and yet these experiments come from the forefront of nonlinear dynamics research. The individual chapters describe why analog circuits are so useful for studying nonlinear dynamics, and include theoretical as well as experimental results from some of the leading researchers in the field. Most of the articles contain some tutorial sections for the less experienced readers.The audience for this book includes researchers in nonlinear dynamics, chaos and statistical physics as well as electrical engineering, and graduate and advanced undergraduate students in these fields.

The Organizational Embeddedness of Communities of Practice
Author: Benjamin Schulte
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3658319542
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
This dissertation uncovers how informal and self-organized communities of practice as a source of learning and adaptability are embedded in their formal organizational surroundings. Based on an interpretative case study of three communities of practice within the German Federal Armed Forces, the author theorizes this embeddedness as shaped through cultural dynamics and leadership processes. In particular, the author draws on a practice lens and complexity leadership theory in explaining how communities of practice generate new resources (i.e., adaptability), produce and reproduce broader socio-cultural structures, and are enabled as well as influenced by formal leadership.

Holistic Flexibility for Systems Thinking and Practice
Author: Rajneesh Chowdhury
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040043771
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
This book explores how the conceptual lens of Holistic Flexibility presents new advancements in systems thinking. Systems thinking is often associated with frameworks and methodologies that often confine the discipline to academic circles in operations research and management science (OR/MS). Holistic Flexibility for Systems Thinking and Practice challenges this status-quo and talks about systems thinking as a state of mind, giving it a cognitive character. The book presents both theoretical deliberations and practitioner cases of Holistic Flexibility. The development of systems thinking in OR/MS is described leading to the latest debates on the subject and the key pillars of Holistic Flexibility are discussed in detail. A range of case studies are presented that offer a firsthand experience of Holistic Flexibility in practice. Learnings are drawn to highlight the importance of a spiritual approach in management, an understanding which is used to further develop the conceptual lens of Holistic Flexibility since it was first introduced. This book presents a range of competencies required for systems practitioners to address and respond to complex situations in an interconnected world. A bold attempt to pragmatize systems thinking and systems practice, the ideas presented in this book weave a thread between the development of the discipline, current debates, and what lies ahead. It will be highly beneficial for OR/MS researchers and graduate students who are interested in systems thinking as well as researchers interested in connecting modern management thinking and Eastern mysticism.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 863
Book Description
The PARADISO is considered the most perfect part of the hereafter where the souls are permitted to live eternally if they can successfully complete the very difficult Celestial Examination process engaging the intellectual and personal guilt and forgiveness requirements system. Many celestial citizens take years, decades or centuries to complete. The Celestial Trial of Josephus, the Annual Lantern Parade and Romano’s awakening from his dream nightmare at the ending are the major subjects in this Book. This Celestial Trial of the ancient Jewish General and Roman writer, propagandist and collaborationist Flavius Josephus in discovering the real Spiritual Truths at the Celestial Supreme Court headed by the Biblical prophets Noah, Abraham and Moses is portrayed. Josephus is defended in Court by a late 19th century mortal American Barrister named Darryl Buchanan from Philadelphia who just successfully defended John D Rockefeller before Almighty GOD Himself in God’s Personal Supreme Peoples Court. The goal of the Celestial Trial of ‘Josephus verses the Celestial Kingdom’ is to discover the Holy Secrets and Spiritual Truths of his writings as to determine whether he did or did not fabricate and/or conceal the Biblical truths and steal the Prophecy that the next Ruler of the Roman Empire was destined to come from Judea to save his own body and soul? The Annual Lantern Parade at the Celestial Circus Maximus on Christmas Day has been a tradition since Jesus died on the Cross in the first century AD. The theme this year is called the Ancient & Divine Mysteries of the Universe. BOOK FOUR ends with the Devil and his Three Crown Princes still trying to manipulate, dominate and overthrow the Kingdom with a Final Curtain Call where the Tragic End Game occurs and the Mise-en-Abime shows the hero Journalist Romano home awoken immediately after his dream in his basement apartment at a New York City Catholic Church.
