Maritime Logistics: A Guide to Contemporary Shipping and Port Management Song Dong-Wook

Maritime logistics has been traditionally regarded as the primary means of transporting parts and finished goods on a global scale. Globalization and the rapid increase in world trade in the past decade have contributed to greater demand for international transport and logistics and, consequently, the expansion of the maritime industry. The dramatic changes in the mode of world trade and cargo transportation make it more important than ever to have a clear understanding of the way in which freight is transported by sea and the role of ports in this exchange. Maritime Logistics examines the latest developments within the port and shipping industry including the associated risks and threats.This new edition of Maritime Logistics features chapters on maintenance optimization, supply chain integration and economies of scale within liner shipping and

The key strength of the Toolboxes provide a set of tools that allow the user to work with real problems,

Future Tense: Why Anxiety Is Good for You Even Though It Feels Bad Dennis-Tiwary Tracy

A leading researcher and clinical psychologist explains why we feel anxious and reveals how anxiety can actually be a positive force we can use to better our lives.We all feel anxious. That's not necessarily a bad thing, regardless of what we're told, according to Dr. Tracy Dennis-Tiwary. Anxiety is part of what makes us human, and as recent scientific studies, including her own research, have shown, that feeling of uncertainty can actually be productive. Like stress and fear, anxiety evolved to protect us. Every time we sense a threat, a warning alarm goes off: something may be about to go wrong. But while anxiety is related to stress and fear, it's different because it's anchored in our ability to project ourselves into the future and take actions to make it better.This future orientation, which the author calls the future tense, helps us plan,

Netradiční encyklopedie 15 + 3 světových kytaristů a kytaristek - Vítězslav Štefl

Jde o volné pokračování předchozího úspěšného titulu 33+333 světových kytaristů. Jedná se o komplexní zpracování díla, tvorby a osobnostních zajímavostí významných kytaristů a kytaristek a to poutavou, čtivou formou, ověřenou reakcí čtenářů seriálů autora, z nichž některé vycházejí již přes třináct let. V podstatě jde o rozšířené a upravené články ve stylu autorových seriálů v časopise MUZIKUS (viz reference). Rozhodně se nedá mluvit o pouhém encyklopedickém, suchém souhrnu faktů, látka je pojata přístupně s ohledem na maximální hloubku znalostí a erudice. Jednotlivé studie obsahují i notové ukázky. Dílo není už jenom z hlediska výběru kytaristů zaměřeno jednoúčelově či na úzký hudební styl – stejně, jako předcházející publikace 33 + 333 světových kytaristů i tato kniha osloví ten nejširší okruh čtenářů, mající společný zájem, a to hudbu, kytaru. V podstatě se tak vyšlo vstříc mnoha ohlasům na první publikaci, kde některé osobnosti byly uvedené pouze krátce, slovníkově, heslovitě. Ty po pečlivém výběru byly zpracovány šířeji a jejich zařazení bylo vedle autorského záměru inspirováno širokou čtenářskou obcí časopisu Muzikus, celkovým hudebním vývojem a rozsáhlými osobními kontakty autora knihy. Nalezneme zde tedy nejen bluesové legendy (Albert King) a klasické kytarové hrdiny konce 60. let (Michael Bloomfield, Alvin Lee), ale i velikány bohatě rozvětveného klasického rocku 70. let (Mick Ralphs, Martin Barre, Scott Gorham) včetně osobností přelomu 80. a 90. let (Yngwie Malmsteen, John Sykes) a samozřejmě nejsoučasnější virtuózní představitele rockové kytary (Jennifer Batten, Zakk Wylde, Kenny Wayne Shepherd). Nechybějí ani výrazné stálice (Mick Box, Bonnie Raitt), dramatické osobnosti (Tommy Bolin, Paul Kossoff), jedinci sami o sobě (Rory Gallagher) a velikáni, spojující svým feelingem a stylem hry pokoru ke klasickému rocku s energií současné rockové hudby (Steve Morse, Debbie Davies)...

Kacířský proces s hrabětem F. A. Šporkem - Ignác Antonín Hrdina, Hedvika Kuchařová

V únoru roku 1730 podal veřejný žalobce Jan Blovský trestní žalobu na říšského hraběte Františka Antonína Šporka (1662 – 1738) pro kacířství, jeho šíření a pro urážky světských i církevních úřadů. Žaloba zněla hrozivě, když pro Šporka (pokud by neodvolal své bludy) požadovala mimo jiné doživotní tuhý žalář, ztrátu inkolátu a téměř likvidační majetkový trest. Větší zemský soud, který věc rozhodoval, nakonec roku 1733 vynesl rozsudek podstatně mírnější, když hraběte odsoudil jen k přiměřenému peněžitému trestu – nikoli však za kacířství. Hrabě ovšem ani s takovým rozhodnutím srozuměn nebyl a pokutu nezaplatil, takže muselo dojít až k exekuci. Předkládaná publikace na základě objevených prvotních pramenů rekonstruuje tento v Čechách ojedinělý proces – žádný jiný šlechtic u nás z kacířství obžalován nebyl. Současně ho zasazuje do rozsáhlého právně historického a teologického kontextu. Kniha nejen líčí jednu z významných událostí v životě proslulého pána na Kuksu, ale také dává nahlédnout do velmi málo prozkoumaných dějin soudního řízení v době pobělohorského královského absolutismu.

Against All Enemies

The master of international intrigue and explosive action introduces a new hero for a new era of warfare ...against a new kind of threat. For years, ... The master of international intrigue and explosive action introduces a new hero for a new era of warfare ...against a new kind of threat. For years, ex-Navy SEAL Maxwell Moore has worked across the Middle East and behind the scenes for the Special Activities Division of the CIA, making connections, extracting valuable intelligence, and facing off against America's enemies at every turn. When Moore arrives at a rendezvous to take charge of a high-ranking Taliban captive, the meeting takes a horrific turn that neither Moore nor any of his bosses saw coming. Barely surviving, he tries to bring to safety a Pakistani colonel with information about the debacle, only to have that mission fall prey to forces more powerful and cunning than any he has faced before. Undaunted, and with failure not an option, Moore continues his quest for the truth, leaving many dead in his wake-killed by those for whom secrecy is the ultimate weapon. And then ...a shocking revelation: Two of the greatest threats to the security of the United States have forged an unholy alliance. After years of planning, the Taliban has come to terms with a vicious Mexican drug cartel for which they will supply opium. For the cartel, it is a matter of money, power, and ultimate control of the drug trade. But for the Taliban, it is an opportunity long awaited: to exploit the cartels and bring the fire of jihad to the hearts of the infidels. It is up to Moore, and his team, to infiltrate and dismantle the drug cartel, even as they hunt for those who would bring the ultimate terror and destruction to the streets of America. In a story that races from the remote, war-scarred landscapes of the Middle East to the blood-soaked chaos of the U.S.-Mexico border, Tom Clancy once again delivers a heart-stopping thriller that is frighteningly close to reality.
