Chiunque, con spirito di umiltà e desiderio sincero, studierà e imparerà a utilizzare le idee contenute in questo libro, potrà godere di una piena misura di felicità, salute e prosperità secondo la propria individualità. C'è un'infinita abbondanza in questo universo. Non solo c'è un'infinita abbondanza di felicità, fede, amore, coraggio, gioia, umiltà, saggezza, generosità, pace, dolcezza, mitezza, pazienza, gentilezza e tutte le qualità che si possono desiderare di esprimere abitualmente, ma c'è un'infinita abbondanza di ogni cosa materiale che si possa desiderare di avere per esprimere la propria individualità. Il motivo per cui molte persone non hanno quanto sopra in abbondanza non è perché ci sia una carenza, ma semplicemente perché non sanno come premere il tasto giusto dell'appropriazione. Tutte le cose che si desiderano sono disponibili per chi comprende le \"Leggi dell'Appropriazione\". In altre parole, c'è un semplice insieme di regole con cui si ottengono tutte le cose, che chiunque voglia davvero imparare può apprendere e quindi essere qualsiasi cosa voglia essere e avere qualsiasi cosa voglia avere.

È il 1941 nella base di Schofield sull'isola hawaiana di Oahu, poco prima dell'attacco a Pearl Harbor. I protagonisti sono due soldati dalla testa dura: Robert Prewitt, un trombettiere di talento ed ex pugile deciso a non salire più sul ring, e Milton Warden, un sergente di ferro, cinico e beffardo ma dotato di un suo personale senso di giustizia. Al centro delle vicende dei due protagonisti e dei loro comprimari - il piccolo e indistruttibile Maggio, italoamericano di Brooklyn; il caporale Bloom e il suo dramma di essere ebreo; i due vitali ma malinconici omosessuali Hal e Tommy; l'intellettuale e filosofo sempre in carcere Jack Malloy - vi sono le relazioni di Warden e Prewitt, tra loro e con le loro donne: Karen, la moglie del capitano Holmes, fragile e alla disperata ricerca di essere amata; e Lorene, la prostituta determinata a diventare un giorno una donna e una moglie rispettabile. James Jones - come Steinbeck, la cui \"Valle dell'Eden\" apparve l'anno successivo sostiene il suo grintoso realismo narrativo con un possente impianto mitologico. Sono assenti i grandi eroi dei film di guerra degli anni Quaranta e gli epici campi di battaglia. Si spara solo alla fine, la mattina del 7 dicembre 1941, dai tetti della caserma contro gli Zero dei Japs. Il lettore sprofonda invece tra uomini decaduti sullo sfondo del paradiso hawaiano: bordelli stipati nel giorno di paga, gioco d'azzardo, razzismo, violenza verbale, fisica, psichica, sessuale, fino alle torture del carcere militare.

Uno dei romanzi più autentici sulla Seconda guerra mondiale, oltre che uno dei più riusciti ritratti della generazione di giovani uomini segnata da quell'immane conflitto.\r\n«Brutale, diretto e potente... Gli uomini sono reali, le parole sono reali, la morte è reale». - Los Angeles Times\r\n«Un risultato raro e splendido...forte, ambizioso e onesto come raramente accade in un romanzo». - Newsweek\r\n«Il più grande romanzo sulla Seconda guerra mondiale». - The Christian Science Monitor\r\n1942, Arcipelago delle isole Salomone. Nelle prime, tiepide ore del mattino di una bella giornata tropicale, due navi americane da trasporto si avvicinano all'isola di Guadalcanal, occupata dai giapponesi. Per i loro equipaggi non si tratta d'altro che di una missione ordinaria: trasportare truppe fresche di rinforzo. Ma per i fanti che formano il carico delle navi questo viaggio non è né ordinario né noto. Ammassati sul ponte come pecore, gli uomini accendono le sigarette e scrutano la riva. È una bella vista, quella che si gode dal ponte. Sotto il fulgido sole tropicale del mattino una brezza marina agita le fronde delle minuscole palme da cocco dietro la spiaggia grigiastra dell'isola più vicina. Si direbbe che nulla possa scalfire questo paradiso terrestre, se un'ansia profonda, un'incontrollabile eccitazione nervosa non si impadronissero degli uomini a bordo. Vengono da una divisione regolare d'anteguerra, ma non hanno mai avuto un battesimo del fuoco. Mentre si preparano allo sbarco sanno che un certo numero di loro rimarrà sull'isola, privo di vita, non appena vi metteranno piede. Ignorano, tuttavia, la sorte che spetterà ai sopravvissuti, una volta inoltratisi all'interno di Guadalcanal: una sorte fatta di malaria e colera, scarsità d'acqua e di rifornimenti, e continue, snervanti, micidiali schermaglie coi giapponesi. Ferito e decorato sul campo durante la battaglia di Guadalcanal, con La sottile linea rossa, James Jones, l'autore di Da qui all'eternità, offre ai lettori uno dei romanzi più autentici sulla Seconda guerra mondiale, oltre che uno dei più riusciti ritratti della generazione di giovani uomini segnata da quell'immane conflitto.

'Moves so intensely and inexorably that it almost seems like the war it is describing' The New York Times Book Review\n\n'Is it really worth it to die, to be dead, just to prove to everybody that you're not a coward?'\n\nOn Guadalcanal in the south Pacific, the soldiers of C Company are about to enter the war. The men know they face their baptism of fire. But none know if they will be one of 'the lucky ones' to make it safely off the island. From Captain Stein, who feels like a father to his troops, and 'Mad' Sergeant Welsh, condemning all nations while swigging gin from his canteen, to Private Bell, who just wants to get home to his wife, they will discover the line that divides sanity from madness, and life from death.\n\nA scathing critique of heroism, The Thin Red Line is among the greatest masterpieces of war writing.\n\n'The men are real, the words are real, death is real, imminent and immediate' Los Angeles Times

'Read this for the chapter on Hillsborough alone' JEREMY VINE\n\n'Makes a powerful plea for the \"earthing\" of God's vision of justice' BARONESS HALE\n\n'A plentiful source of comfort, strength and, most importantly, hope' ANDY BURNHAM\n\nFor twenty-five years, Bishop James Jones has been working on the frontlines to try and create a more just and merciful world. In Justice for Christ's Sake, he reflects on the work he has been a part of and the ways in which justice and faith go hand in hand.\n\nWith touching honesty, he tells of his time as a Bishop and his role on three key independent panels into matters of national conscience - including chairing the panel that investigated the Hillsborough Disaster of 1989, when ninety-six Liverpool football fans tragically lost their lives. All the dimensions of justice that James has experienced - environmental, social, racial, political and judicial - are vividly conveyed, as he offers up the lessons he has learned in his search for a better, fairer way to live and how the answers might be found in the teachings of Jesus.\n\nJustice for Christ's Sake is a remarkable and fascinating Christian memoir, that offers a unique perspective on some of the most significant inquiries of the last three decades. It is a book that encourages us all in our longing for justice, with insight born from first-hand experience, and will leave you with a better of understanding of events that have shaped conversations on justice in Britain.\n\nMost of us long deep down for a fairer world, however selfishly we may act on occasions. James Jones reassures us that we are not alone and that we can all be part of the fight for justice for Christ's sake.

This textbook provides an overview of the origin and preservation of carbonate sedimentary rocks. The focus is on limestones and dolostones and the sediments from which they are derived. The approach is general and universal and draws heavily on fundamental discoveries, arresting interpretations, and keystone syntheses that have been developed over the last five decades. The book is designed as a teaching tool for upper level undergraduate classes, a fundamental reference for graduate and research students, and a scholarly source of information for practicing professionals whose expertise lies outside this specialty. The approach is rigorous, with every chapter being designed as a separate lecture on a specific topic that is encased within a larger scheme. The text is profusely illustrated with all colour diagrams and images of rocks, subsurface cores, thin sections, modern sediments, and underwater seascapes.\n\nAdditional resources for this book can be found at: www.wiley.com/go/james/carbonaterocks

Towards the end of the fifth century BC Ctesias of Cnidus wrote his 23 book History of Persia. Ctesias is a remarkable figure: he lived and worked in the Persian court and, as a doctor, tended to the world’s most powerful kings and queens. His position gave him special insight into the workings of Persian court life and access to the gossip and scandal surrounding Persian history and court politics, past and present. His History of Persia was completed at a time when the Greeks were fascinated by Persia and seems very much to cater to contemporary interest in Persian wealth and opulence, powerful Persian women, the institution of the harem, kings and queens, eunuchs and secret plots. \n\nPresented here in English translation for the first time with commentaries, Ctesias offers a fascinating insight into Persia in the fifth century BC.

When James Womack, Daniel Jones, and Daniel Roos wrote THE MACHINE THAT CHANGED THE WORLD in 1990, Japanese automakers, and Toyota in particular, were making a strong showing by applying the principles of lean production. However, the full power of lean principles was unproven, and they had not been applied outside of the auto industry. Today, the power of lean production has been conclusively proved by Toyota's unparalleled success, and the concepts have been widely applied in many industries. Based on MIT's pioneering global study of industrial competition, THE MACHINE THAT CHANGED THE WORLD offers a groundbreaking analysis of the entire lean business system, including product development, supplier management, sales, service, and production - an analysis even more relevant today as GM and Ford struggle to survive and a wide range of British abd American companies embrace lean production. A new Foreword by the authors brings the story up to date and details how their predictions were right. As a result, this reissue of a classic is as insightful and instructive today as when it was first published.

Lean Thinking was launched in the fall of 1996, just in time for the recession of 1997. It told the story of how American, European, and Japanese firms applied a simple set of principles called 'lean thinking' to survive the recession of 1991 and grow steadily in sales and profits through 1996. Even though the recession of 1997 never happened, companies were starving for information on how to make themselves leaner and more efficient. Now we are dealing with the recession of 2001 and the financial meltdown of 2002. So what happened to the exemplar firms profiled in Lean Thinking? In the new fully revised edition of this bestselling book those pioneering lean thinkers are brought up to date. Authors James Womack and Daniel Jones offer new guidelines for lean thinking firms and bring their groundbreaking practices to a brand new generation of companies that are looking to stay one step ahead of the competition.

The ability to record price information according to time has unleashed huge amounts of useful market information. Mind Over Markets, Updated Edition will show you how to profitably put this information to work for you.

A vent'anni dalla sua pubblicazione, \"Lean Thinking\" rimane un libro straordinariamente vivo e attuale, uno dei pochissimi long seller della letteratura manageriale globale. In esso i cardini dell'approccio lean hanno trovato la formulazione più limpida, certamente la più fortunata, segnando la strada per la sua applicazione in qualsiasi settore industriale così come nei servizi. \"Il pensiero snello\" aiuta a definire precisamente il valore dei singoli prodotti, a identificare il \"flusso di valore\", a far sì che questo flusso scorra senza interruzioni e il cliente \"tiri\" il valore dal produttore e a perseguire, infine, la perfezione attraverso il miglioramento continuo. Questi principi hanno dato vita nel tempo a una ricca e consolidata cassetta degli attrezzi, oggi lo stato dell'arte per chiunque voglia migliorare processi esistenti o disegnarne di nuovi, e hanno trovato un nuovo e inaspettato impulso nella cultura dell'innovazione che l'economia digitale ha generato. Ma per tornare al \"gemba\", al luogo in cui si produce valore, occorre passare ancora da questo libro e dalle sfide in esso tracciate.
