What if the real key to a richer and more fulfilling career was not to create and scale a new start-up, but rather, to be able to work for yourself, determine your own hours, and become a (highly profitable) and sustainable company of one? Suppose the better—and smarter—solution is simply to remain small? This book explains how to do just that. Company of One is a refreshingly new approach centered on staying small and avoiding growth, for any size business. Not as a freelancer who only gets paid on a per piece basis, and not as an entrepreneurial start-up that wants to scale as soon as possible, but as a small business that is deliberately committed to staying that way. By staying small, one can have freedom to pursue more meaningful pleasures in life, and avoid the headaches that result from dealing with employees, long meetings, or worrying about expansion. Company of One introduces this unique business strategy and explains how to make it work for you, including how to generate cash flow on an ongoing basis. Paul Jarvis left the corporate world when he realized that working in a high-pressure, high profile world was not his idea of success. Instead, he now works for himself out of his home on a small, lush island off of Vancouver, and lives a much more rewarding and productive life. He no longer has to contend with an environment that constantly demands more productivity, more output, and more growth. In Company of One, Jarvis explains how you can find the right pathway to do the same, including planning how to set up your shop, determining your desired revenues, dealing with unexpected crises, keeping your key clients happy, and of course, doing all of this on your own.

Professor Roland Norris has been murdered in the early morning hours on the grounds of Välkommen University, and the discovery of the crime sets the scene for Thomas Jones' new parody of a campus mystery. As two more murders rattle the university, St. Paul detectives LeRon Jarvis and Robert Phan increasingly focus on the victim's connections to Jack Ramble, professor of literature and chair of the department. Are the crimes motivated by academic rivalries or the university's finances? A frantic golf cart chase down the 10th fairway of the East Oaks Country Club finally reveals all... This light-

To honour the distinguished career of Donald Savoie, Governing brings together an accomplished group of international scholars who have concerned themselves with the challenges of governance, accountability, public management reform, and regional policy. Governing delves into the two primary fields of interest in Savoie's work - regional development and the nature of executive power in public administration. The majority of chapters deal with issues of democratic governance, particularly the changing relationship over the past thirty years between politicians and public servants. A second set of essays addresses the history of regional development, examining the politics of regional inequalities and the promises and pitfalls of approaches adopted by governments to resolve the most vexing policy problems. Contributors provide readers with a valuable primer on the key issues that have provoked debate among practitioners and students of government alike, while reflecting on government initiatives meant to address inadequacies.Showcasing the practical experience and scholarly engagement of its authors, this collection is a valuable addition to the fields of public administration, public policy, political governance, and regional policy. Contributors include Peter Aucoin (Dalhousie University), Herman Bakvis (University of Victoria), James Bickerton (St Francis Xavier University), Jacques Bourgault (Ecole nationale d'administration publique/UQAM), Thomas Courchene (Queen's University), Ralph Heintzman (University of Ottawa), Mark D.

This volume presents a collection of papers presented at the 15th International Symposium of Robotic Research (ISRR). ISRR is the biennial meeting of the International Foundation of Robotic Research (IFRR) and its 15th edition took place in Flagstaff, Arizona on December 9 to December 12, 2011. As for the previous symposia, ISRR 2011 followed up on the successful concept of a mixture of invited contributions and open submissions. Therefore approximately half of the 37 contributions were invited contributions from outstanding researchers selected by the IFRR officers and the program committee, and the other half were chosen among the open submissions after peer review. This selection process resulted in a truly excellent technical program which featured some of the very best of robotic research. The program was organized around oral presentation in a single-track format and included for the first time a small number of interactive presentations. The symposium contributions contained in this volume report on a variety of new robotics research results covering a broad spectrum including perception, manipulation, grasping, vehicles and design, navigation, control and integration, estimation and SLAM.

Virginia 1619 provides an opportunity to reflect on the origins of English colonialism around the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic world. As the essays here demonstrate, Anglo-Americans have been simultaneously experimenting with representative government and struggling with the corrosive legacy of racial thinking for more than four centuries. Virginia, contrary to popular stereotypes, was not the product of thoughtless, greedy, or impatient English colonists. Instead, the emergence of stable English Atlantic colonies reflected the deliberate efforts of an array of actors to establish new societies based on their ideas about commonwealth, commerce, and colonialism. Looking back from 2019, we can understand that what happened on the shores of the Chesapeake four hundred years ago was no accident. Slavery and freedom were born together as migrants and English officials figured out how to make this colony succeed. They did so in the face of rival ventures and while struggling to survive in a dangerous environment. Three hallmarks of English America-self-government, slavery, and native dispossession-took shape as everyone contested the future of empire along the James River in 1619. The contributors are Nicholas Canny, Misha Ewen, Andrew Fitzmaurice, Jack P. Greene, Paul D. Halliday, Alexander B. Haskell, Linda M. Heywood, James Horn, Michael J. Jarvis, Peter C. Mancall, Philip D. Morgan, Melissa N. Morris, Paul Musselwhite, James D. Rice, and Lauren Working.

"The Evolution of Nuclear Strategy quickly established itself as a classic when it first appeared in 1981. This edition makes it even better, incorporating as it does new material about the Cold War and up-dating to include subsequent developments. Filled with insights and penetrating analysis, this volume is truly indispensable."-Robert Jervis, Author of How Statesmen Think"Freedman and Michaels have written a thorough and thought-provoking guide to nuclear strategy. The authors analyze the causes of both wise and unwise strategic decisions in the past and thereby shine a bright light on dilemmas we face in our common nuclear future."-Scott Sagan, Stanford University, USA "With its comprehensive coverage, clear and direct language, and judicious summaries of a vast literature, this new and wholly revised edition of The Evolution of Nuclear Strategy will be essential reading for any student of nuclear history, strategic studies, or contemporary international relations."-Matthew Jones, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK"Sir Lawrence Freedman's The Evolution of Nuclear Strategy has been the first port of call for three generations of academics and policy-makers wanting to familiarize themselves with the subject matter. The success of this book could have led Professor Freedman to satisfy himself with regular updates or afterwords. But the tireless author is now gracing us with an entirely revised edition of his masterpiece nearly forty years after its initial publication, taking into account findings from archives and declassified documents. At the same time, The Evolution of Nuclear Strategy remains true to its original purpose and spirit: an easy to read manual, light with footnotes, focusing on policy rather than on theory, and thus the best possible introduction to an arcane subject. In an era when nuclear strategy issues seem to be becoming relevant again, its historical scope and breadth will make its reading or re-reading even more useful - if only because knowing about the absurdity of the Cold war arms race is a prerequisite if one does not want to repeat its mistakes."-Bruno Tertrais, Deputy Director, Fondation pour la Recherche Strategique, France"This updated and improved edition of the classic text on the evolution of nuclear strategy is a must read for anyone attempting to understand the nuclear predicament and where it is heading. Impressive in every respect!"-T.V. Paul, James McGill Professor of International Relations, McGill University, Canada, and the author of The Traditon of Non-Use of Nuclear Weapons"After the end of the Cold War, we hoped for a world in which nuclear weapons would have `low salience', or might even disappear into virtual, non-assembled arsenals. Alas, they are coming to the fore again. With changes in political context and technology, it is thus pressing that `the Bible' on the Evolution of Nuclear Strategy should be updated. Lawrence Freedman's great classic has been admirably updated with the help of Jeff Michaels. The work, just as its previous editions, thus remains the definitive and authoritative point of reference on nuclear strategy in the twenty-first century."-Beatrice Heuser, Chair of International Relations, University of Glasgow, ScotlandFirst published in 1981, Lawrence Freedman's The Evolution of Nuclear Strategy was immediately acclaimed as the standard work on the history of attempts to cope militarily and politically with the terrible destructive power of nuclear weapons. It has now been completely rewritten, drawing on a wide range of new research, and updated to take account of the period following the end of the cold war, and covering all nuclear powers.

The Use of Force, long considered a classic in its own right, brings together enduring, influential works on the role of military power in foreign policy and international politics. Now in its eighth edition, the reader has been significantly revised; with twenty innovative and up-to-date selections, this edition is 60 percent new. Meticulously chosen and edited by leading scholars Robert J. Art and Kelly M. Greenhill, the selections are grouped under three headings: theories, case studies, and contemporary issues. The first section includes essays that cover the security dilemma, terrorism, the sources of military doctrine, the nuclear revolution, and the fungibility of force. A new subsection of Part I also deals with ethical issues in the use of force. The second section includes case studies in the use of force that span the period from World War I through the war in Afghanistan. The final section considers issues concerning the projection of US military power; the rising power of China; the spread of biological and nuclear weapons and cyberwarfare; intervention in internal conflicts and insurgencies; and possible future developments in terrorism, nuclear abolition, and robotic warfare. Continuing the tradition of previous editions, this fully updated reader collects the best analysis by influential thinkers on the use of force in international affairs.Contributions by: Bruce J.

Denne boken er skrevet for de som arbeider med mennesker og de som utdanner seg til yrker der de skal jobbe med andre. Det er en innføring i profesjonsetikk. I mange år har Paul Leer-Salvesen undervist og veiledet studenter som forbereder seg til et yrkesliv der de kommer tett på andre mennesker fordi de har noe å gi dem: kunnskap, ferdigheter, helsetjenester, omsorg, råd og beskyttelse. I slike forhold er etikk og etisk refleksjon helt nødvendig. For vi bærer alle det moralske ansvaret for det vi gjør mot andre, også på jobben. Boken inneholder etisk teori og øvelser i etisk analyse fordi den er ment å kunne brukes som lærebok på flere profesjonsutdanninger. Derfor vil forskjellige profesjoner komme frem i caser og eksempler: lærer, barnehagelærer, sosionom, barnevernsarbeider, sykepleier, lege, vernepleier, terapeut, politi, fengselsbetjent og advokat. Det er store forskjeller mellom disse yrkene, men det er også likhetspunkter. Dessuten blir det stadig viktigere at profesjonene gjør seg kjent med hverandre og øver seg opp til å samarbeide. Det er ikke minst blitt tydelig i koronakrisen med de store utfordringer den har gitt profesjonene. Paul Leer-Salvesen har skrevet romaner, barne- og ungdomsbøker og fagbøker. Han har jobbet som journalist, forfatter, fengselsprest og professor i teologi og etikk.

Paul Moxnes, professor i psykologi, dukker i denne boken ned i de store spørsmål og konstaterer at personlighet og atferd kan endres og, hvis forholdene legges til rette, skape bedre liv, ledelse og samspill. «Hvem er jeg?» og «Hvem ønsker jeg å være?» er viktige spørsmål for voksne som ønsker å forstå seg selv og videreutvikle seg selv. Siden boken tar for seg store og viktige tema for hver enkelt av oss, blir den lærerik, treffende og utfordrende. Fordi Moxnes i tillegg skriver godt og våger å utlevere seg i så stor grad som han gjør, er boken lettlest. Boken henvender seg til alle som vil lære om ulike sider ved sin personlighet enten det er i privat eller profesjonell sammenheng. Boken vil være nyttig for medarbeidere, ledere, personalansvarlige, coacher og konsulenter som ønsker å forstå og forbedre seg selv og det mellommenneskelige samspillet, og for studenter i psykologi og pedagogikk, lederutdanninger og personaladministrative utdanninger. Paul Moxnes, dr.philos, er tidligere professor ved Universitetet i Oslo og Handelshøyskolen BI og spesialist i organisasjonspsykologi (NPF). Han har utgitt flere bøker, bl.a. Positiv angst, Læring og ressursutvikling i arbeidsmiljøet, Psykologi og økonomi, Hva er angst og Organisasjonsmytologi. Han er nå gjesteprofessor ved Psykologisk institutt, UiO og foreleser på AFF Samspill & Ledelse, Oslo.

Hvem er vi? Hvor kommer vi fra? Hvordan skal vi leve for å handle på beste måte i denne verden? Slike spørsmål har mennesker undret seg over i flere tusen år, og vi stiller dem fortsatt. ?Handling, valg og ansvar undersøker hvilke svar som gjennom historien har blitt gitt på hva det innebærer å være et handlende, velgende og ansvarlig menneske. Dette er noen av de mest sentrale spørsmål i filosofien og filosofiens historie, særlig innen etikken og moralfilosofien. Forfatterne tar for seg tenkere fra hele filosofihistorien: fra Sokrates, Platon, Aristoteles, Aquinas, Hobbes, Hume, Kant, Marx, Kierkegaard og Nietzsche, til nyere filosofer som Jean Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, John Rawls og Hans Skjervheim. Hvordan man til forskjellige tider har reflektert over slike problemstillinger, har vært betinget av historiske og samfunnsmessige forhold i samtiden. Denne boken er skrevet ut fra en tanke om at kjennskap til hvordan etiske problemstillinger til ulike tider har vært behandlet, kan bidra til bedre forståelse også av vår egen tid og vårt eget liv.
