Analytics at WorkAuthor: Davenport Thomas H., Harris Jeanne G., Morison Robert Publisher: Harvard Business School Pr Most companies have massive amounts of data at their disposal, yet fail to utilize it in any meaningful way. But a powerful new business tool - analytics - is enabling many firms to aggressively leverage their data in key business decisions and processes, with impressive results. In their previous book, Competing on Analytics, Thomas Davenport and Jeanne Harris showed how pioneering firms were building their entire strategies around their analytical capabilities. Rather than 'going with the gut' when pricing products, maintaining inventory, or hiring talent, managers in these firms use data, analysis, and systematic reasoning to make decisions that improve efficiency, risk-management, and profits. Now, in Analytics at Work, Davenport, Harris, and coauthor Robert Morison reveal how any manager can effectively deploy analytics in day-to-day operations?one business decision at a time. They show how many types of analytical tools, from statistical analysis to qualitative measures like systematic behavior coding, can improve decisions about everything from what new product offering might interest customers to whether marketing dollars are being most effectively deployed. Based on all-new research and illustrated with examples from companies including Humana, Best Buy, Progressive Insurance, and Hotels.com, this implementation-focused guide outlines the five-step DELTA model for deploying and succeeding with analytical initiatives. You'll learn how to: · Use data more effectively and glean valuable analytical insights · Manage and coordinate data, people, and technology at an enterprise level · Understand and support what analytical leaders do · Evaluate and choose realistic targets for analytical activity · Recruit, hire, and manage analysts Combining the science of quantitative analysis with the art of sound reasoning, Analytics at Work provides a road map and tools for unleashing the potential buried in your company's data. € 31,20

Title :
La potenza dei poveriAuthor: Rahnema Majid; Robert Jean Publisher: Jaca Book Perché pubblicare in 'Biblioteca Permanente' un dialogo? Perché quando il dialogo fa emergere il sapere e l'esperienza di anni può diventare quel contributo maturo che oggi, causa i panni sempre più stretti e rigidi delle discipline, non si ravvisa in opere dedicate a un singolo campo del sapere. L'ambito di questa conversazione che pesca nella storia del pensiero e nei contributi di varie figure contemporanee riguarda il recupero della povertà come via per sradicare la miseria. Jean Robert è cresciuto alla scuola di Ivan Ulich, il suo impegno intellettuale è legato a pratiche sociali. Majid Rahnema è una grande figura ponte tra saggezza persiana e sapere europeo. Il suo pensiero condensa una lunga esperienza del bacino mediterraneo e si compara con le società tradizionali del pianeta. C'è una saggezza e una prassi di vita millenaria che Rahnema condensa come 'povertà conviviale'. Questa povertà, ma dovremmo dire 'la povertà', che è l'opposto della miseria, è il luogo, l'episteme di qualsiasi cultura e civiltà. In un periodo come il nostro, devastato dalla edificazione dei non-luoghi, la potenza dei poveri ravvisa la povertà come brodo di cultura di una vita fatta di legami significativi e di costruzioni accoglienti. Siamo di fronte a una visione antropologica che spazia tra più discipline, mettendole in crisi, in primo luogo quella che si definisce come economia. € 29,00

Title :
Il Desiderio del vino. Storia di una passione anticaAuthor: Pitte Jean-Robert Publisher: edizioni Dedalo Nessun frutto della terra e del lavoro umano ha mai incontrato nella storia il successo arriso al vino. Assurto ben presto a ingrediente caratterizzante della dieta mediterranea, esso si è caricato di tutta una serie di connotazioni simboliche che ne hanno fatto un punto di riferimento nella cultura e nell'immaginario di tanti popoli, in particolare nella sfera religiosa. Bevanda consacrata tanto dalla mitologia greca quanto dalla tradizione ebraica e cristiana, il vino si è imposto come una sorta di ponte fra il nostro mondo e l'aldilà, fra l'umano e il divino, grazie alla sua peculiare capacità di rallegrare, di esaltare, di inebriare, dunque di condurre chi lo beve in un'altra dimensione, magari fino all'oblio della sua condizione terrena. Niente come il vino incoraggia la convivialità, il piacere dello stare insieme e del confrontarsi in tutta franchezza, ma esso può anche trasformarsi in pericolosa fonte di perdizione, come è attestato da tanti episodi di provenienza biblica, letteraria o folklorica. Nel ripercorrere le tappe salienti di una vicenda storica che ha contrassegnato profondamente la nostra cultura, l'autore delinea inoltre un itinerario geografico, che ci mostra come il vino sia riuscito ad ampliare progressivamente la sua area di influenza, tanto da dar luogo a una 'mondializzazione felice che favorisce il calore umano e il dialogo tra i popoli'. La trattazione è completata da un ricco apparato iconografico. Prefazione di Paolo Scarpi. € 28,00

Title :
I Piaceri a RomaAuthor: Robert Jean-Noël Publisher: Odoya 'Le terme, il vino, le donne: questa è la vita'. L'iscrizione funeraria rende bene l'idea di come i Romani concepissero la propria esistenza: la soddisfazione dei piaceri era un elemento fondamentale della vita di ognuno. Ricchi e poveri erano dominati dalla stessa ansia di godimento e ogni classe aveva elaborato una propria 'arte di vivere'. Se il cittadino comune passava in media un paio di ore al giorno in luoghi pubblici come le terme o il foro, il Romano abbiente dava sfogo al proprio bisogno di appagamento sensoriale e sensuale all'interno di splendide dimore dai ricchi arredi e dai curatissimi giardini, offrendo sfarzosi banchetti in un clima di edonismo che sfociava spesso e volentieri nella dissolutezza. 'I piaceri a Roma' racconta come, nell'epoca d'oro che va dal II secolo a.C. al II secolo d.C, preceduta dal prevalere di ideali di austerità e seguita dalle severe condanne morali del cristianesimo, gli antichi Romani riuscissero a manifestare senza ipocrisie la propria concezione godereccia dell'esistenza, conducendo una 'dolce vita' che sembra riportarci alla credenza secondo cui progenitrice della civiltà romana fosse la stessa Venere, divinità del piacere per eccellenza. € 18,00

Title :
ParadisoAuthor: Dante Alighieri, Hollander Robert (TRN), Hollander Jean (TRN) Publisher: Anchor Books With his journeys through Hell and Purgatory complete, Dante is at last led by his beloved Beatrice to Paradise.

Their verse translation with facing-page Italian combines maximum fidelity to Dante's text with the artistry necessary to reflect the original's virtuosity.

Title :
Bordeaux/BurgundyAuthor: Pitte Jean-Robert, Debevoise M. B. (TRN) Publisher: Univ of California Pr Seeking to penetrate the mysteries of two great wine regions--'two opposite civilizations, two distinct ways of feeling'--Jean-Robert Pitte embarks upon an evocative and fascinating exploration of the land, people, and wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. His account is a rich tapestry of terroir, history, culture, and economics from Roman to modern times. The unique qualities of the wines of each region, Pitte believes, cannot be entirely explained by the differences in their physical environments: they have social origins as well. Beginning with an entertaining look at the remarkable variety of insults exchanged by partisans of the two regions, Pitte delves into the key role played by medieval monks, dukes, and peasant vignerons in building their respective reputations and in creating the rivalry between bourgeois Bordeaux and earthy Burgundy that we know today. His sparkling, fair-minded narrative, engaging the senses and the mind alike, conveys a deep appreciation of two incomparable winegrowing cultures, united despite their differences by a common ambition to produce the best wines in the world. € 36,70

Title :
A Measure of FairnessAuthor: Pollin Robert, Brenner Mark, Wicks-lim Jeannette, Luce Stephanie Publisher: Cornell Univ Pr In early 2007, there were approximately 140 living wage ordinances in place throughout the United States. Communities around the country frequently debate new proposals of this sort. Additionally, as a result of ballot initiatives, twenty-nine states and the District of Columbia, representing nearly 70 percent of the total U.S. population, maintain minimum wage standards above those set by the federal minimum wage.In A Measure of Fairness, Robert Pollin, Mark Brenner, Jeannette Wicks-Lim, and Stephanie Luce assess how well living wage and minimum wage regulations in the United States serve the workers they are intended to help. Opponents of such measures assert that when faced with mandated increases in labor costs, businesses will either lay off workers, hire fewer low-wage employees in the future, replace low-credentialed workers with those having better qualifications or, finally, even relocate to avoid facing the increased costs being imposed on them.The authors give an overview of living wage and minimum wage implementation in Louisiana, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Massachusetts, and Connecticut to show how these policies play out in the paychecks of workers, in the halls of legislature, and in business ledgers. Based on a decade of research, this volume concludes that living wage laws and minimum wage increases have been effective policy interventions capable of bringing significant, if modest, benefits to the people they were intended to help. € 22,40

Title :
Pockets of CrimeAuthor: St. Jean Peter K. B., Sampson Robert J. (FRW) Publisher: Univ of Chicago Pr Why, even in the same high-crime neighborhoods, do robbery, drug dealing, and assault occur much more frequently on some blocks than on others? One popular theory is that a weak sense of community among neighbors can create conditions more hospitable for criminals, and another proposes that neighborhood disorder—such as broken windows and boarded-up buildings—makes crime more likely. But in his innovative new study, Peter K. B. St. Jean argues that we cannot fully understand the impact of these factors without considering that, because urban space is unevenly developed, different kinds of crimes occur most often in locations that offer their perpetrators specific advantages. € 39,30

Title :
The Art of William SteigAuthor: Nahson Claudia J., Cottingham Robert (CON), Sendak Maurice (FRW), Sorel Edward (CON), Steig Jeanne (CON) Publisher: Yale Univ Pr Known for his brilliant cartoons and award-winning children's books, William Steig (1907?2003) leaves a legacy that spans much of the twentieth century. This lavishly illustrated book features over 280 of Steig's drawings, many of them previously unpublished, and examines every aspect of his work, from the ?Small Fry” cartoons?his earliest submissions to the New Yorker? and haunting symbolic drawings of the late 1930s and 1940s, to his later, bitingly funny cartoons and celebrated books for children.
In the seventy-three years that Steig worked for the New Yorker, the magazine published over 120 of his covers and more than 1,600 of his drawings in a wide range of styles, including classic cartoons, psychologically fraught pen-and-ink renderings, and Picasso-esque representations. He brought a new voice to the magazine by creating cartoons that drew on his experience as a son of immigrant Eastern European Jews. In his sixties, Steig embarked on a second career as a writer and illustrator of children's books, including Sylvester and the Magic Pebble and Shrek! These remarkable projects bring together numerous key elements of Steig's work: his evocative use of reverie, his interest in cranks and complainers, and his belief in the redeeming power of love, nature, and art.
The story of Steig's work is told by Claudia J. Nahson and the cartoonist's fellow artists and writers, and his family members. Together they create a portrait of a penetrating social observer with a restless imagination and a love for his craft. € 37,40

Title :
The Art and Architecture of MesopotamiaAuthor: Curatola Giovanni, Forest Jean-Daniel, Gallois Nathalie, Lippolis Carlo, Ricciardi Roberta Venco Publisher: Abbeville Pr The artistic traditions of Mesopotamia, or ancient Iraq, are among the oldest, and the richest, in the world. In this flat, fertile land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, the ancient Sumerians created, before 3000 BC, the world's first advanced civilization, and each of the many powers that succeeded them left its own distinctive imprint on the region's culture. The broad chronological scope of this illustrated volume - from the fourth millennium BC to the fourteenth century AD - gives us a new appreciation of both the diversity and the continuity of Mesopotamian art history. Its text, written by leading scholars of Near Eastern art and archaeology, provides an erudite yet accessible overview of each major phase in this eventful artistic saga. The masterpieces discussed in these chapters are depicted in 217 illustrations, most of them full-color photographs, and following the main text is a visual guide to Iraq's principal archaeological sites, which provides a further 247 black-and-white photographs, maps, and plans. With its authoritative, up-to-date text and this wealth of illustrations, The Art and Architecture of Mesopotamia is an invaluable publication for anyone with an interest in humanity's cultural heritage. € 84,80

Title :
Enterprise Architecture as StrategyAuthor: Ross Jeanne W., Weill Peter, Robertson David Publisher: Harvard Business School Pr In their research from 1995-2005 on how information technology (IT) can help make companies successful, the authors realized that they were focusing on the same thing whether studying enterprise architecture, IT infrastructure transformations, or e-business.
