Barstow quickly invites Luke to travel on his Daisy Belle, fearing
that his opponent will cheat. And while he's not wrong, the biggest
danger to both boats remains Old Man River himself ... -

Manfred Von Richthofen survived his first aerial combat with light
injuries only. As a rear gunner, though, he felt particularly
frustrated by his inability to control the plane. Convinced that he
must be able to fly and shoot at the same time to make the most of
his mysterious mind-reading ability, he works hard to obtain his
pilot licence. It's in March 1916, in the sky over Verdun, that the
/> Red Baron earns his first victory as a pilot... -

in the air may not be the most dangerous one... -

Lactalis has been one of the most successful French companies over the last decade, securing its place as the global leader in the dairy-product sector.
This outstanding growth - with turnover increasing from 8.5bn EUR in 2009 to 22.8bn EUR in 2020 once their latest acquisitions are taken into account - is due to the strategies and management techniques employed by just one man. He is Daniel Jaouen who has been with Lactalis for over thirty years and ran the company from 2009 to 2020, heading up a fantastic team.
This book includes all the adventures Daniel Jaouen went through while taking Lactalis to the top. He reveals clearly, country by country, how the company has managed its global expansion.
This book also serves as a from of management guide. How can you make entering markets, which are so economically and culturally different, a success? What are the key factors which have contributed to this achievement? How do you cope with all the challenges that working in the food industry throws up - simultaneously managing human, economic, political, health and ecological factors?
Daniel Jaouen also sheds light on the role of shareholders in the company's accomplishments, an interesting example where everything is controlled by a single family - the Besniers -well-known for their legendary discretion. -

El siglo XIX elevó la Guerra de la Independencia al rango de mito fundador de la nación española: el Dos de Mayo, el sitio de Zaragoza, la batalla de Bailén suenan todavía hoy como las hazañas de una gesta patriótica sin parangón. Esta interpretación tiene una historia: la sacralización de las guerras napoleónicas, en tanto que mito liberal, elaborado en los años 1830, conoció numerosos vaivenes, al paso de una historia política sobresaltada. ¿Qué lugar ocupa este mito en la vida política española del siglo XIX? A todas luces, el mito y las memorias de la Guerra de la Independencia, desde 1808 hasta la celebración del centenario, constituyen un verdadero hilo conductor que permite indagar en la arqueología del sentimiento nacional español y sus posteriores vicisitudes.

Hungary, spring-summer 1944. In less than two months, nearly 440,000 Jews crammed into 147 trains were deported from Hungary to be transported for the great majority to the gates of the Auschwitz-Birkenau's Krematorium. The Brodi family, from Huedin, Transylvania, arrives there on the night of June 1 to 2. Elisabeth is 20 years old, she will never see her family again.
Elisabeth's mourning story plunges us into the modest family life, marked by the attachment to the traditions of her parents, within the Jewish community of a small provincial town in northern Romania. This area at the crossroads of the borders, remodeled in the aftermath of the Great War, is annexed by Hungary in 1940 and its entry into the war worsens the persecutions against the Jews. The Brodi family suffers the effects until the invasion of the country by the Nazis (March 19, 1944) which precipitates them in the Cluj ghetto, the last stage before the deportation.
The memory of her family, her strength of character, her endurance forged in the permanent danger of a terrible year and happy encounters, allow Elisabeth to go through hardships. For her new life, she chooses France and to join the one she loves in Gironde. They met in Grlitz (Lower Silesia), in a shelter under the Allied bombardments, she, a slave, he, a prisoner of war, exploited by the Nazi war industry. It was in La Teste-de-Buch that they got married, and that Elisabeth built a beautiful and large family (8 children, 17 grandchildren,...) in the form of victory over the annihilation promised by Hitler. She has never ceased passing on the memory of her family and lavishing the lessons of her courage and resilience to the younger generations for a quarter of a century. -

Urban metabolism and ecological management: vision, tools, practices and beyond
Gengyuan Liu, Marco Casazza, Zhifeng Yang, Sergio Ulgiati
- Edp sciences
- 25 Février 2021
- 9782759825202
Urbanization is the one of the most evident forms of anthropization. With most of the world population living in cities, the need of thinking about a more sustainable urban lifestyle has become an imperative. This is why present and future generations of scholars, urban managers and policy makers should be prepared to work together to support the reduction of impacts generated by urban activities, while pursuing the goal of an equitable and sustainable well-being within the planetary boundaries. In this respect, the use of different methods and tools can support the implementation of roadmaps and policies. Besides that, different communication languages can be used to enhance the development of a shared reflective vision about the future of cities among citizens, as major actors of the urban life and its transformation.
This book provides an accessible overview of some key methods to deal holistically with the analysis of urban resources flows to readers with an interest in the academic or professional reference of the different approaches for studying urban metabolism. It presents some of the most important tools along with relevant case studies to illustrate their potential application. Experts in the field and holding the belief that visions and hopes trigger decisions and behaviors beyond the knowledge, the authors introduce readers to the use of different art-based methods to engage with citizens towards a common outlook on the future of our cities. The book also offers an enhanced reading experience by featuring a soundtrack composed by one of the authors and available through the QR code at the beginning of each chapter. -
Sustainable materials science - environmental metallurgy t.2 ; pollution and emissions, biodiversity, toxicology and ecotoxicology, economics and social roles, foresight
Jean-Pierre Birat
- Edp sciences
- 22 Février 2021
- 9782759824441
The present book is the continuation of a first volume, which dwelt on fairly classical materials science and environmental issues. This second volume of «Sustainable Materials Science» explores more broadly the connection of materials with the biosphere, the anthroposphere and society. There is a shift, therefore, from a STEM approach (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) to an SSH one (Social Sciences and Humanities).
This book is meant for students, researchers, engineers, social scientists and concerned citizens interested in how materials, nature and people interact. This volume concentrates on emissions to air, water and soil, on the connection with health and toxicology, climate change and the c collapse of biodiversity. It shows how materials exhibit a social value, in addition to their engineering properties and economic valuation. Materials also provide ecosystems services in the realm of industrial ecology. They are definitely social constructs. They exhibit agency. Their role, in their value chains, can be described in terms of Actors Network Theory (ANT).
This book is unique in its approach of overarching so many fields of knowledge. There are excellent treatises on materials science and on industrial ecology. However, the connection of materials with the social dimension of sustainability is rarely discussed elsewhere and the pluridisciplinary cocktail of approaches used here is truly new. The book positions itself in a worldview of four intersecting dimensions: materials and energy, space and time. -
