Sinopsis

In "Anthropoid Apes," Robert Hartmann presents a groundbreaking exploration of the evolutionary, anatomical, and behavioral complexities of anthropoid primates. Through a meticulous blend of descriptive zoology and innovative scientific analysis, Hartmann employs a comparative approach that bridges the functional morphology of apes with contemporary behavioral studies. This scholarly text delves deeply into the phylogenetic relationships among the great apes, examining how their unique adaptations inform our understanding of human evolution, all while employing an accessible yet rigorous literary style that appeals to both academic and general audiences. Robert Hartmann, a prominent primatologist, brings a wealth of field experience and academic insight to this work. His career has been marked by extensive research in both laboratory settings and natural habitats, allowing him to observe anthropoid behavior first-hand. His profound appreciation for these creatures and their ecological contexts not only enriches the text but also reflects a broader concern for conservation and the ethical treatment of primates, which has underscored his scholarly pursuits throughout his life. This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in primatology, anthropology, or evolutionary biology. Hartmann's lucid prose and impressive depth of knowledge make "Anthropoid Apes" an essential addition to the libraries of students, researchers, and anyone who seeks to understand the intricate ties of humanity with our closest relatives in the animal kingdom.

Based on extensive primary research conducted over more than fifteen years, this book documents the differential contribution of HP's successive CEOs in sustaining the company's integral process of becoming. It uses a comprehensive strategic leadership framework to examine and explain the role of the CEO: (1) defining and executing the key tasks of strategic leadership, and (2) developing four key elements of the company's strategic leadership capability. 
 
 
 
The study of the strategic leadership of HP's successive CEOs revealed the paradox of corporate becoming, the existential situation facing successive CEOs (that justifies the book's empathic approach), and the importance of the CEO's ability to harness the company's past while also driving its future. Building on these insights, the book shows how the frameworks used to conceptualize the tasks of strategic leadership and the development of strategic leadership capability can serve as steps toward a dynamic theory of strategic leadership that animates an evolutionary framework of corporate becoming. This framework will be helpful for further theory development about strategic leadership and also offers practical tools for founders of new companies and CEOs and boards of directors of existing companies who intend to create, run, or oversee companies built for continued relevance, longevity, and greatness.

A structural engineer examines the seven most basic building blocks of engineering that have shaped the modern world. 
 
 
 
Some of engineering's mightiest achievements are small in scale, even hidden—and yet, without them, the complex machinery on which our modern world runs would not exist. In Nuts and Bolts, Roma Agrawal examines seven of these extraordinary elements: the nail, the wheel, the spring, the lens, the magnet, the string, and the pump. 
 
 
 
From the physics behind both Roman nails and modern skyscrapers to rudimentary springs that inspired lithium batteries, Agrawal shows us how even the most sophisticated items are built on the foundations of these ancient and fundamental breakthroughs in engineering. Agrawal explores an array of intricate technologies—dishwashers, spacesuits, microscopes, suspension bridges, breast pumps—making surprising connections and explaining how they work. Along the way, she recounts the stories of remarkable scientists and engineers from all over the world, and reveals how engineering has fundamentally changed the way we live.
