Global War

A Month-by-Month History of World War II

By: Adrian Van Sinderen

Global War, first published in 1946 and updated in 2014, is an eminently readable, month-by-month account of the major political and military events of the six years of the Second World War (1939-1945). Included are synopses of the battles on land, sea, and air (from all theaters of the War), and excerpts from important speeches by world leaders such as Roosevelt, Churchill, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, and the Emperor of Japan. A convenient month-by month format places each item in a chronological sequence so readers will better understand the unfolding and course of this global conflict, and from the perspective of each combatant, whether Allied, Axis, or neutral.

Corporate Governance and Chairmanship

A Personal View

By: Adrian Cadbury

Corporate governance has become a major issue in business over the last decade. Adrian Cadbury has played a central role in developing policies, good practice, and our understanding of the complex issues involved. In 1992 he chaired the committee, sponsored by the Bank of England, whose Report on the Financial Aspects of Corporate Governance (commonly known as the 'Cadbury Report') put issues of corporate governance on the map. Ten years on, Cadbury now reflects on issues of corporate governance and chairmanship drawing on his own business and policy-making experience. In the book, he discusses and explains the central issuse of corporate governance; provides practical advice to chairmen and directors on their roles and responsibilities; and surveys the major codes of practice that have been developed in the last decade. He also considers the implications of the current review of company law and speculates on the implications of electronic developments for shareholders' voice and voting, the extent of a company's social responsibility, and the changing relationship between boards, managers, and investors. This book is both an informed commentary and a practical guide. Cadbury's insights will prove essential reading for anybody taking on senior roles in companies and other public organizations, and will provide well-grounded analysis for management academics, students, and advisers.

Critical Space Infrastructures

Risk, Resilience and Complexity

By: Alexandru Georgescu,Adrian V. Gheorghe,Marius-Ioan Piso,Polinpapilinho F. Katina

This book introduces readers to the topical area of CSI: critical space infrastructure, which is defined as an emerging domain of systems-of-systems encompassing hardware, workforce, environment, facilities, business and organizational entities. Further, it includes unmanned air systems, satellites, rockets, space probes, and orbital stations, and involves multi-directional interactions essential for maintenance of vital societal functions (i.e., health, safety, economic and social well-being), the loss or disruption of which would have significant impact on virtually any nation. The topics covered include the main elements of CSI, CSI taxonomy, effects of CSI on other infrastructure systems, establishing quantitative and qualitative parameters, global and national effects of CSI failure, cascading disruptive phenomena, chilling effects in various fields, CSI protection, deliberate threats to space systems (e.g., electromagnetic pulse attacks), space governance, and a path forward for CSI research. Modern society is highly dependent on the continuous operation of critical infrastructure systems for the supply of crucial goods and services including, among others, the power supply, drinking water supply, and transportation systems; yet space systems – which are critical enablers for several commercial, scientific and military applications – are rarely discussed. This book addresses this gap.
