Who Me?

An Autobiography

By: Theo Nielsen

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

A reader may think that writing a biography would be an easy task. Research that needs to be done by an author of non-fiction books requires many hours of focused time and countless interviews with real persons associated with the person or event. The author of a biography should have all of the facts stored in his memory and merely needs to transcribe them into a book without further research. Wrong Maybe it was because of my age, 82, that I was unable to sit back and dictate to a stenographer, or into a tape recorder, a flow of the events and influences that shaped my personality and my life. Instead, I spent over two years sitting at my computer's "Microsoft Word", searching my mind, my pilot's log book, and diaries, slowly eking out one sentence, one paragraph and then one page. Time was allocated to this endeavor on a "I have nothing else to do" attitude. With the Oregon rain, soaking the golf course into an unplayable mire, I was able to pacify my longing for a game by turning on the word processor and succumbing to the pleasure of reliving my younger days. The cover jacket of this book was designed by my graphic artist son, Jay, to depict my personality as a "free spirit" and as a serious Certified Public Accountant.

A Resource-based perspective on IT Business Alignment and firm performance

Theoretical foundation and empirical evidence

By: Heinz-Theo Wagner

Despite a general assumption that Information Technology is necessary for most business processes, the business value of IT is the subject of debate and controversy in theory and practice. Based on the Resource-based View of the Firm (RBV) and literature on IT business alignment this thesis theoretically evaluates and empirically validates the basic mechanisms that link IT to performance. Employing case studies and a survey in parallel, this work identifies a set of factors and their interrelationships affecting firm performance. The results extend our theoretical knowledge on how to use the IT resource and help managers to make better decisions on using IT, thereby enhancing an organization’s performance.

The Limits to Governance

The Challenge of Policy-Making for the New Life Sciences

By: Theo Papaioannou

Does the state still frame debates about new technology? Can policy-makers ensure the benefits of health developments through genomics while still satisfying the expectations of society and the economic imperatives? In this critique of the new governance agenda for research and innovation in life sciences, the authors discuss the world-wide policy decisions needed, with particular reference to genomics. They suggest the many facets of policy and could be treated as a government-governance continuum, where different aspects of genomics may sit at different points, and co-exist. Their findings offer valuable insights for the future and will help promote a global solution to this problem.

IT Architecture Ð Essential Practice for IT Business Solutions

By: Peter Beijer,Theo de Klerk

This book is about IT architecture set against the background of the practical insights gained at HP (Hewlett-Packard) since 1986 and formalized in the HP methodology for IT Strategy and Architecture (ITSA). The important message is that architecture is used to solve problems or exploit opportunities and is not used for the sake of architecture. Core to this is the concept of a seamless chain of justification that unites stakeholders in defining, reinforcing, and supporting the single best fitting IT business solution. This book teaches the IT architecture practitioner how to align the different views and interests of these stakeholders into coherent IT architecture artifacts by permeating the business, functional, technical, and implementation perspectives.

The Wind of Change: Comparative lessons for restorative justice in South Africa and the UK

By: Theo Gavrielides,Grace Loseby

The death of Nelson Mandela in December 2013 closed an active year for restorative justice. His life was a symbol of restoration and promise and continues to stir interest and discussion in the search for an alternative to incarceration and towards peaceful conflict resolution. This book looks at restorative justice in context of two countries, the United Kingdom and South Africa, as they independently try to navigate between past, present and future justice systems. There is reference to the cultural, political and socio-economic landscapes of each nation. Our understanding of justice is symbolic of these landscapes and a mapping exercise is undertaken, with a discussion of enablers and barriers for the restorative justice movement internationally. The book also discusses the ownership of restorative justice and the role of non-governmental bodies such as Khulisa. A key to the restorative justice process is a balance of stakeholder involvement between state and community enterprise. It is important to examine and highlight the importance of these bodies in the continuing and increased commentary on the restorative justice process. Subsequently, this book offers a timely and much needed discussion regarding our careful future steps in the shadow of legendary voices. Reviews “As we investigate how best to lend our knowledge and expertise to the development of Restorative Justice in the UK, we commissioned RJ4All to carry out an analysis and assessment of the growth in restorative justice policy and practice in each country. This paper compliments the forums, seminars and knowledge-exchange initiatives we have already carried out between England and South Africa over the last several years. We are grateful for the depth and breadth of the analysis undertaken by RJ4All and the recommendations they put forward. It is our hope that we can implement much of what they suggest through open and sincere collaborations with a multitude of partners, funders and commissioners already active in their communities. We would like to come bearing gifts and not with a hand looking to take”.

Beyond the Quantum

By: Theo M. Nieuwenhuizen

Already Einstein could never see quantum mechanics as a complete theory. Nowadays, many researchers, including 't Hooft, view quantum mechanics as a statistical description of some underlying reality. The workshop Beyond the Quantum, organized in Spring 2006 at the Lorentz Center in Leiden, The Netherlands, was one of the first meetings completely devoted to physics that may need an explanation beyond quantum mechanics. A broad variety of subjects was covered. The present book reflects this. Sample Chapter(s). Chapter 1: The Mathematical Basis for Deterministic Quantum Mechanics (267 KB). Contents: Introductions: The Mathematical Basis for Deterministic Quantum Mechanics (G 't Hooft); What Did We Learn from Quantum Gravity? (A Ashtekar); BoseOCoEinstein Condensates and EPR Quantum Non-Locality (F Lalo1/2); The Quantum Measurement Process: Lessons from an Exactly Solvable Model (A E Allahverdyan et al.); Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Information: POVMs: A Small but Important Step Beyond Standard Quantum Mechanics (W M de Muynck); State Reduction by Measurements with a Null Result (G Nienhuis); Solving Open Questions in the BoseOCoEinstein Condensation of an Ideal Gas via a Hybrid Mixture of Laser and Statistical Physics (M Kim et al.); Long Distance Correlations and Bell Inequalities: Fair Sampling vs No-Signalling Principle in EPR Experiments (G Adenier & A Yu Khrennikov); Mathematical Foundations: Where the Mathematical Structure of Quantum Mechanics Comes From (G M D'Ariano); Phase Space Description of Quantum Mechanics and Non-Commutative Geometry: Wigner-Moyal and Bohm in a Wider Context (B J Hiley); Quantum Mechanics as Simple Algorithm for Approximation of Classical Integrals (A Yu Khrennikov); Stochastic Electrodynamics: Some Quantum Experiments from the Point of View of Stochastic Electrodynamics (V apicka et al.); Models for the Electron: Rotating Hopf-Kinks: Oscillators in the Sense of de Broglie (U Enz); The Electron and the Neutrino as Solitos in Classical Electromagnetism (Th M Nieuwenhuizen); Philosophical Considerations; Round Table; and other papers.

The Carthaginian North: Semitic influence on early Germanic

A linguistic and cultural study

By: Robert Mailhammer,Theo Vennemann

This book presents a new and innovative theory on the origin of the Germanic languages. This theory presents solutions to four pivotal problems in the history of Germanic with critical implications for cultural history: the origin of the Germanic writing system (the Runic alphabet), the genesis of the Germanic strong verbs, the development of the Germanic word order, and etymologies for key elements of the Germanic lexicon. The book proposes that all four problems can be solved if it is hypothesized that over 2,000 years ago the ancestor of all Germanic languages, Proto-Germanic, was in intensive contact with Punic, a Semitic language from the Mediterranean. This scenario is explored by focusing on linguistic data, supported by an interdisciplinary mosaic of evidence. This book is of interest to anyone working on the linguistic and cultural history of the Germanic languages.

Restorative Justice

Ideals and Realities

By: Theo Gavrielides

The legitimacy and performance of the traditional criminal justice system is the subject of intense scrutiny as the world economic crisis continues to put pressure on governments to cut the costs of the criminal justice system. This volume brings together the leading work on restorative justice to achieve two objectives: to construct a comprehensive and up-to-date conceptual framework for restorative justice suitable even for newcomers; and to challenge the barriers of restorative justice in the hope of taking its theory and practice a step further. The selected articles start by answering some fundamental questions about restorative justice regarding its historical and philosophical origins, and challenge the concept by bringing into the debate the human rights and equality discourses. Also included is material based on empirical testing of restorative justice claims especially those impacting on reoffending rates, victim satisfaction and reintegration. The volume concludes with a critique of restorative justice as well as with analytical thinking that aims to push its barriers. It is hoped that the investigations offered by this volume not only offer hope for a better system for abolitionists and reformists, but also new and convincing evidence to persuade the sceptics in the debate over restorative justice.

Mystic City

By: Theo Lawrence

For fans of Matched, The Hunger Games, X-Men, and Blade Runner comes a tale of a magical city divided, a political rebellion ignited, and a love that was meant to last forever. Book One of the Mystic City Novels. Aria Rose, youngest scion of one of Mystic City's two ruling rival families, finds herself betrothed to Thomas Foster, the son of her parents' sworn enemies. The union of the two will end the generations-long political feud—and unite all those living in the Aeries, the privileged upper reaches of the city, against the banished mystics who dwell below in the Depths. But Aria doesn't remember falling in love with Thomas; in fact, she wakes one day with huge gaps in her memory. And she can't conceive why her parents would have agreed to unite with the Fosters in the first place. Only when Aria meets Hunter, a gorgeous rebel mystic from the Depths, does she start to have glimmers of recollection—and to understand that he holds the key to unlocking her past. The choices she makes can save or doom the city—including herself.

The A to Z of Descartes and Cartesian Philosophy

By: Roger Ariew,Dennis Des Chene,Douglas M. Jesseph,Tad M. Schmaltz,Theo Verbeek

The A to Z of Descartes and Cartesian Philosophy includes many entries on Descartes's writings, concepts, and findings. Since it is historical, there are other entries on those who supported him, those who criticized him, those who corrected him, and those who together formed one of the major movements in philosophy, Cartesianism. To better understand the period, the authors drew up a brief chronology, and to see how Descartes and Cartesianism fit into the general picture, they have written an introduction and a biography. Since everything cannot be summed up in one volume, a bibliography directs readers to numerous other sources on issues of particular interest.

Hydrolases in Organic Synthesis

Regio- and Stereoselective Biotransformations

By: Uwe Theo Bornscheuer,Romas Joseph Kazlauskas

From reviews to the first edtion: "Bornscheuer and Kazlauskas have set out, and succeeded, in producing a definitive manual on hydrolytic enzymes (especially lipases, esterases, and proteases) for organic chemists. This is quite simply the best book of its type and can be unreservedly recommended to organic chemists who have an interest in using hydrolytic enzymes in synthesis." (Nicholas J. Turner, University of Edinburgh) "The book is an indispensable source of information on the use of hydrolases in organic synthesis. The subject matter is very well set out, and the chapters are clearly written and presented from a critical viewpoint. Bornscheuer and Kazlauskas have succeeded admirably in describing the capabilities and limitations of the use of hydrolytic enzymes and in critically evaluating them. No library should be without the book." (Fritz Theil, WITEGA Angewandte Werkstoff-Forschung GmbH, Berlin) The second edition of this extremely successful and well-proven book presents recent developments in the use of hydrolases for organic synthesis, reflecting in particular the enormous progress made in enzyme discovery and optimization with a new chapter on "Protein Sources and Optimization of Biocatalyst Performance". The renowned authors survey the stereoselective reactions of hydrolases, especially lipases, esterases and proteases, giving researchers an overview of what has worked in the past so that they can judge how to solve their own synthetic problems. In total, the book contains over one thousand chemical structures, rounded off by some 1,800 invaluable references.

Thyroid Hormone MetabolismMolecular Biology and Alternate Pathways

By: Sing-Yung Wu,Theo J. Visser

This book gathers some of the most talented and well-informed experts in the field, who not only summarize the recent breakthroughs and new findings, but also shed light on future research. Special emphasis is placed on the exciting new understanding of the molecular structure of one of the major enzymes (type 1 iodothyronine deiodinase) involved in the activation of the thyroid hormone. This breakthrough culminates the major effort in this field around the world. As a result, we can study the regulation of thyroid hormone activation mechanism at the molecular level. Two other important deiodinase enzymes (types II and III) are also reviewed. Alternate pathways of thyroid hormone metabolism represent another major advance. These pathways are associated with a variety of physiological and disease states, including fasting, glucocorticoid excess, fetal development, and inflammatory and non-thyroidal illnesses. The understanding of these pathways assists us to better understand the physiological and biological basis of the disease process and thus to improve clinical management of patients with thyroidal and non-thyroidal illnesses.

Reading the World's Stories

An Annotated Bibliography of International Youth Literature

By: Annette Y. Goldsmith,Theo Heras,Susan Corapi

Reading the World’s Stories is volume 5 in the Bridges to Understanding series of annotated international youth literature bibliographies sponsored by the United States Board on Books for Young People. USBBY is the United States chapter of the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY), a Switzerland-based nonprofit whose mission is bring books and children together. The series promotes sharing international children’s books as a way to facilitate intercultural understanding and meet new literary voices. This volume follows Children’s Books from Other Countries (1998), The World though Children’s Books (2002), Crossing Boundaries with Children’s Books (2006), and Bridges to Understanding: Envisioning the World through Children’s Books (2011) and acts as a companion book to the earlier titles. Centered around the theme of the importance of stories, the guide is a resource for discovering more recent global books that fit many reading tastes and educational needs for readers aged 0-18 years. Essays by storyteller Anne Pellowski, author Beverley Naidoo, and academic Marianne Martens offer a variety of perspectives on international youth literature. This latest installment in the series covers books published from 2010-2014 and includes English-language imports as well as translations of children’s and young adult literature first published outside of the United States. These books are supplemented by a smaller number of culturally appropriate books from the US to help fill in gaps from underrepresented countries. The organization of the guide is geographic by region and country. All of the more than 800 entries are recommended, and many of the books have won awards or achieved other recognition in their home countries. Forty children’s book experts wrote the annotations. The entries are indexed by author, translator, illustrator, title, and subject. Back matter also includes international book awards, important organizations and research collections, and a selected directory of publishers known for publishing books from other countries.

This open access book explores the digital transformation of small and rural towns, in particular, how to measure the evolution and development of digital towns. In addition to access to resources, competition from urban and global markets, and population trends, rural communities present lesser access and use of digital technologies and have lower digital competencies and skills than their urban counterparts. Consequently, they experience less beneficial outcomes from increased digitalisation than urban areas. This book defines what a digital town is and explores digitalisation from the perspective of the four basic economic sectors in towns - individuals and households, businesses, the public sector, and civil society - and three types of enabling infrastructure - digital connectivity, education, and governance. Particular attention is paid to how digitalisation efforts are measured by intergovernmental and international organisations for each sector and enabling infrastructure. The book concludes with a Digital Town Readiness Framework that offers local communities, policymakers, and scholars an initial set of indicators upon which to develop digital town initiatives, and measure progress. For those ready to embrace the opportunity, this book is a pathfinder on the road to a more equitable and impactful digital society and digital economy.

A History of World Literature

By: Theo D'haen

A History of World Literature is a fully revised and expanded edition of The Routledge Concise History of World Literature (2012). This remarkably broad and informative book offers an introduction to “world literature.” Tracing the term from its earliest roots and situating it within a number of relevant contexts from postcolonialism, decoloniality, ecocriticism, and book circulation, Theo D’haen in ten tightly-argued but richly-detailed chapters examines: the return of the term “world literature” and its changing meaning; Goethe’s concept of Weltliteratur and how this relates to current debates; theories and theorists who have had an impact on world literature; and how world literature is taught around the world. By examining how world literature is studied around the globe, this book is the ideal guide to an increasingly popular and important term in literary studies. It is accessible and engaging and will be invaluable to students of world literature, comparative literature, translation, postcolonial and decoloniality studies, and materialist approaches, and to anyone with an interest in these or related topics.
