Marcus Tesla

Summary

The Kongsberg Group chronicles the remarkable journey of a Norwegian arms manufacturer's transformation into a global technology powerhouse, offering a compelling narrative of industrial evolution spanning two centuries.

The book's chronological progression provides valuable insights into industrial development and technology transfer, making it particularly relevant for executives and students of technological innovation.It examines the delicate balance between military and civilian technology development, while highlighting the crucial role of organizational adaptation in long-term success.

The ADHD Consultation Hour ADHD...

Dr. Gerrit Scherf

The first edition of the 'small ADHD consultation', published in 2014, was originally created to provide my patients with a quick overview of the broad field of ADHD symptoms in adults as summarised as possible. It was important to me to integrate accompanying disorders and therapeutic options such as medication and coaching strategies. It is not uncommon for the underlying ADHD symptoms to be masked by disorders that develop later (such as obsessive thinking, anxiety, panic attacks and addictions). Only abnormalities in childhood, such as dreaminess or motor restlessness with impulsiveness, allow conclusions to be drawn. Patients and friends were kind enough to embellish this book with their contributions, sketches, pictures and poems. The significantly expanded 3rd edition of the 'Little ADHD Consultation' is due to the increased needs and demands of my patients and the new findings concerning ADHD. New topics such as neurofeedback, medication overview, neurobiological aspects and autistic accompanying phenomena as well as legal aspects and cannabis medication have been included. I wish you many A-HA experiences with this expansion.

●     Which type of question makes up more than half of all questions on the exam, and the subtle differences between each type 
●     2 full-length practice tests, each with 125 unique questions and detailed explanations to help you identify any knowledge gaps to focus on

Diversifying the Courts - Race...

Nancy Scherer

Examines the decisions of United States presidents to appoint judges from diverse backgrounds to federal courts 
 
 
 
In Diversifying the Courts, Nancy Scherer addresses why presidents choose—or don't choose—to diversify the federal courts by race, ethnicity, and gender. She explores how and why the issue became a bitter partisan fight in the first place, tracking the controversial history—and politics—of court diversification. 
 
 
 
Drawing on polls, political experiments, surveys and one-on-one interviews, Scherer illuminates the complicated relationship between diversity and court legitimacy. She shows us how diverse representation can positively impact perceptions of the court among women and racial minorities, while having a negative impact on the perceptions among white people and men. Ultimately, Diversifying the Courts provides insight into the impact of gender, race, and ethnicity on the courts, illuminating some of the major challenges facing the American judicial system in the years that lie ahead.
