    Leadership in the digital word (Paperback)
    Leadership in the digital word (Paperback)
    Digital technology is not only rapidly changing the world in which we live, it is also making it increasingly complex. In Leadership in the Digital World Ralf Knegtmans and Ylva Poelman explore the consequences of digitisation for organisations and the traits this requires in leaders. When they started working on the book, their perspectives were diametrically opposed. This makes their book a compelling search for answers that lie somewhere in the middle. As Managing Partner of a leading executive search firm, Knegtmans questions whether top business leaders are prepared for the huge impact digital technology will have on business and society. As an independent innovation consultant, Poelman adopts a different approach: this is not the first time humanity has had to adapt to major change. Those who were astute enough could have prepared for the digital revolution well in advance. Leadership in a Digital Age is a thorough quest into challenges all businesses will be facing, such as:

    New Eyes on You (Paperback)
    New Eyes on You (Paperback)
    Do you want to know what someone is really thinking? Look no further than their facial expressions. The movements of our eyebrows, eyelids and the corners of our mouths betray information about our personality within minutes. Scientific research has shown that the face is, indeed, the mirror of the soul. All people present a basic repertoire of facial expressions that betray a lot about how they view life. This book will teach you which facial expressions belong to which behavioral styles. This prior knowledge will allow you to improve every conversation, at home and at work. Herman Ilgen has years of experience as a negotiator and a mediator. Working with the University of Amsterdam, he has been conducting research for over 12 years and developed the unique INSA Method that is now being used in a wide variety of settings by companies, government organizations and individual professionals.

    What is truth? (Paperback)
    What is truth? (Paperback)
    What is truth? is a clear and comprehensive introduction to the Philosophy of Science, that will equally appeal to students of the Humanities, the Social Sciences and the Natural Sciences. With a solid footing in the history of classical philosophy, the book offers an in-depth discussion of Karl Popper, Thomas Kuhn, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Jacques Derrida and Bruno Latour, among others. The book discusses recent developments in the Philosophy of Science, such as post-Kuhnian philosophy and the current interest in “objectivity”. According to Chunglin Kwa, there is not one rationality of science but several, each with its own logic and legitimate claim to truth. Six such styles of scientific reasoning can be established, pervading the sciences (including the humanities) in different combinations. The latter focus provides the book with an outstanding interdisciplinary outlook. Chunglin Kwa teaches at the University of Amsterdam. What is truth? is a translation of Wat is waarheid?, published

    Fotoboek Yellowstone | National Geographic
    Best-selling author David Quammen takes readers on a breathtaking journey through America's most inspiring and imperiled ecosystem--Yellowstone National Park--in this monumental book on America's first national park.

    Reisgids Somaliland | Bradt Travel Guides
    Reisgids Somaliland | Bradt Travel Guides
    Voor vele landen net zo goed, zo niet beter dan de Planet. Beduidend soberder uitgevoerd, maar ook met veel informatie voor backpackers en met veel kaartmateriaal. Een aanrader!   There is a reason no other publisher produces a guide to Somaliland: it is not an easy book to produce. The research is extremely challenging, the production is expensive and, because Somaliland is such a niche travel destination, the sales potential is very limited. Unfortunately, the first edition of this book did not recoup its costs. We were left with a difficult decision: increase the retail price to make a second edition possible or admit defeat and allow the guide to go out of print. We don’t like to admit defeat.   This second edition is significantly more expensive than the first edition, but we sincerely hope you’ll understand why that is the case, and feel that the revised price still represents excellent value for such vital and unique information. We are committed to providing high quality tr…
