Innovation Crash Course , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 39min
In prehistoric ages, humans had to constantly come up with new ideas and methods to help them survive. The persistent need of improving whatever exists in order to survive in a better way led to innovation. Innovation occurs on various levels in our daily lives. It could be the use of a new product which was innovated recently by manufacturers, or the use of a new method that makes it easier to live life. Today, industries, companies, and individuals innovate on various levels to succeed in their objectives. Different industries have different viewpoints regarding innovation. There are over 40 different definitions of innovation, and every definition describes it according to the perspective of the individual or group authoring the definition. But all of it grinds to the fact that innovation happens when something new comes into existence. It could be a thought, a process, a method, or a product. Innovation is limitless and does not restrict itself to certain aspects only. Innovation has existed since the existence of humankind itself. Humans have introduced different products, ideas, and services ever since they existed as hunters and gatherers. Whether it was the invention of the first wheel, the ability to harvest grains and turn it into the food we eat, or the use of fire to cook, everything required humans to come up with new ideas that can improve their current standards of living. Now we are dealing with innovation on a more complex level since we have already reached a point where our basic needs are met very effectively. This is why innovation has become so central to businesses and customers. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andrea Giordani.

Think Simple: How Smart Leaders Defeat Complexity , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 450min
Simplicity is arguably the most potent weapon in business - attracting customers, motivating employees, helping companies to outthink competitors, and creating new efficiencies. Yet rarely is it as simple as it looks. Ken Segall's first book, Insanely Simple, was based on observations gained from 12 years working as Steve Jobs' advertising agency creative director, first with NeXT and then with Apple. He saw firsthand that Jobs looked at everything through the lens of simplicity. His obsession with simplicity was visible not just in Apple's products. You could see it in the way the company was organized and how it innovated, advertised, sold at retail, and provided customer service. In practice simplicity was Jobs' most powerful business weapon. It helped Apple distinguish its products and create entirely new product categories, and it put distance between Apple and its competitors. But while Apple is a terrific example of a company that has been propelled by the power of simplicity, it is hardly alone. Inspired by the ways Apple has benefited from the power of simplicity, Segall set out to find other companies that were traveling this path. He wanted to learn more about the thinking of their leaders. He felt that if he could chronicle the experiences of those who have successfully simplified, it would be an invaluable guide for everyone who would like to do the same. This book is the result of his journey into simplicity in companies around the world. Many of the "heroes of simplicity" profiled in this book are probably not on your list of usual suspects. Segall had conversations with over 40 men and women from a wide range of industries, in companies big and small, established and up and coming, famous and below the radar. Each leader has a fascinating point of view about how simplicity has helped improve his or her company and set it apart from competitors. Each is unique, yet, as you'll find, ma ungekürzt.

A Warrior Dynasty: The Rise and Fall of Sweden as a Military Superpower 1611-1721 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 628min
This audiobook examines the meteoric rise of Sweden as the pre-eminent military power in Europe during the Thirty Years War during the 1600s, and then follows its line of warrior kings into the next century until the Swedes finally meet their demise, in an overreach into the vastness of Russia. A small Scandinavian nation, with at most one and a half million people and scant internal resources of its own, there was small logic to how Sweden could become the dominant power on the Continent. That Sweden achieved this was due to its leadership - a case-study in history when pure military skill, and that alone, could override the demographic and economic factors which have in modern times been termed so pre-eminent. Once Protestantism emerged, via Martin Luther, the most devastating war in European history ensued, as the Holy Roman Empire sought to reassert its authority by force. Into this bloody maelstrom stepped Gustav Adolf of Sweden, a brilliant tactician and strategist, who with his finely honed Swedish legions proceeded to establish a new authority in northern Europe. Gustav, as brave as he was brilliant, was finally killed while leading a cavalry charge at the Battle of Ltzen. He had innovated, however, tactics and weaponry that put his successors in good stead, as Sweden remained a great power, rivaled only by France and Spain in terms of territory in Europe. And then one of his successors, Karl XII, turned out to be just as great a military genius as Gustav himself, and as the year 1700 arrived, Swedish armies once more burst out in all directions. Karl, like Gustav, assumed the throne while still a teenager, but immediately displayed so much acumen, daring and skill that chroniclers could only compare him, like Gustav, to Alexander the Great. This book examines thoroughly, yet in highly readable fashion, the century during which Swedish military power set an example for all Europe. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Ashby.

Tropical Peatland Eco-management
In this "Tropical Peatland Eco-management" book, eco-management is new terminology as an abbreviation of "ecology-based management for natural capital enhancement". Key concept on this eco-management is derived from previous book: "Tropical Peatland Ecosystem"(Springer, 2015, eds. by M. Osaki and N. Tsuji). Based on this new concept, this book thoroughly examines tropical peatland eco-management for scientists, political decision makers, governmental officials, land managers, students, and NGO/NPOs who are interested in 1) what the impact of peatland on climate change and ecosystem function, 2) how the management of disturbed peatland, and 3) drawing global scale restoration mechanisms of peatland and wetland. In tropical peatland, a large amount of GHGs (carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide) is emitted due to the unappropriate development and inadequate management of peatland. The peatland ecosystems consist of the carbon-water complex, which is affected easily by the impact of human and climate change. Throughout much research of tropical peatland, the problems that result from development of tropical peatland are found to stem mainly from a lack of understanding of the complexities of this ecosystem and the fragility of the relationship between peat and forest and also between carbon and water.In past, almost all peatland development and management system have been generally designed on "water drainage system". On the contrast of old system, an innovated eco- management is, here, proposed as "water irrigation system", including water cycling and natural capital enhancement. Through this book readers will learn the advanced peatland eco-management, with more practical methods and procedure based on ecosystem knowledge.- Shop: buecher

Infinity - Gregorian in Progress
Dino Mariani Dino Mariani was born in Molise - Italy (1954). In 1965 he moved to Milan with his family. Since 1972 he studied at G.Verdi Conservatory where he graduated in Basson and Composition. He studied orchestral conducting at the 'Civica Scuola di Musica' of Milan. At the same time, once he finished the Scientific High Scool, he attended two years of Law Faculty which leaved to devote himself entirely to the musical studies. In the Seventies he lived the most varied musical experiences. He easily alternated between the academic studies, performances in 'classical' areas as soloist, in orchestra or chamber groups and perfomances in the various Pop and Jazz Festival of that time, both as a guitarist and as bassoonist, bringing for the first time this instrument out of the 'classical' ambit. He recorded several discs for many artists of Milan in that time. From 1978 to 1980 he played in the 'International Folk Group' of Moni Ovadia for whom, along with the inseparable friend oboist Mario Arcari, wrote most of musics recorded in 'Il nonno di Jonni' and 'Ensemble Havadi‡'.He played in the disc 'Le mille e una notte' for the homonymous show of 'Teatro dell'Elfo'.. With GFI accomplished several tours in Italy and Europe. At the same time he founded the DOM Democratic Orchestra Milano, big formation in which live together 'classical' musicians and 'young jazz musicians' still representative on the national scene,and not just, of the home-made jazz. He wrote for the DOM several pieces which for their characther of synthesis between classical and jazz, gained considerable interest of public and critics.. He conducted the same in important festivals in Italy and Europe, playing in first performance pieces written specifically for it by Enrico Rava, Antony Braxton, Alex Schlippenbach, Leroy Jenkins, Oliver Lake, etc. He finished this experience in 1984 recording the disc 'Invenzioni'. Since 1985 he devoted himself entirely to the composition. He studied with Sciarrino, Ferneyhaugh, Grisey, Rotondi, and Zosi Donatoni, deepening the knowledge of the most advanced techniques of composition and instrumental. He was awarded in many international contests of Composition from jury like Berio, Abbado, Petrassi, Huber, Pousseur, Morricone, Chailly, Ferneyhaugh, Donatoni, Sciarrino, Clementi ecc. And his music was performed in prestigious contexts both in Italy and abroad. To the increasingly introspective and isolated activity of Composer, he put side by side, from 1988 to till today, the teaching as a professor of Composition at different italians Conservatories. He lives, since some years, in Amalfitan Coast..Last work: 'INFINITY' has been conceived in the last months of 2006.As ripe rediscovery of 'simple', the return to primordial emotions. The enjoyment in returning to play different instruments: flutes, bassoon, sitar, keyboards, acoustic guitar, the old dear Fender Stratocaster. Inspiring source, 9 Gregorian Chants, as the orders of the angelic hosts grouped into three angelic choirs, sometimes freely transcribed, other philologically made mensurable. The 'Voice of the Soul' for excellence which alternates, merges with jazz and blues singing, in rhythmic contexts with progressive rock flavour, or pure melodic contexts in search of emotions. Dino Mariani - Musices Officina INFINITY - Gregorian in Progress Classical? Jazz? Blues? Rock? Pop? ...'the Voice of the Soul' meets the today's music... 'A pleasant surprise the work by Dino Mariani who seems to have found a finally convincing way in search for a music unrelated and independent from genres, as evidenced also from the structure of the group, with the most varied instruments whose mixture leads to original and new solutions.' La Repubblica 'The music of Dino Mariani, conductor, composer, polyinstrumentalist and gray eminence requires an uncommon culture and capacity for synthesis.' Il Giornale '...They amazed, surprised, innovated.' Jazz Magazine '...original music influenced by all the sound developments of the last years ... ' Progres '...on a collective basis of very beautiful orchestration, it gave very strong musical emotions. Here is a music to discover urgently.' Dino Mariani Nel 1954 nasce in Molise. Nel 1965 si trasferisce con la famiglia a Milano. Dal 1972 studia al Conservatorio G. Verdi dove si diplomerà in Fagotto e Composizione. Studia Direzione d'orchestra presso la Civica Scuola di Musica di Milano. Contemporaneamente, terminato il Liceo Scientifico, frequenta due anni la facoltà di Giurisprudenza che abbandona per dedicarsi totalmente agli studi musicali. Negli anni settanta vive intensamente le più svariate esperienze musicali. Alterna con disinvoltura gli studi accademici e le esibizioni in ambiti 'classici' come solista, in orchestra o gruppi da camera, alle esibizioni nei vari Festival Pop e Jazz dell'epoca, sia come chitarrista che come fagottista, portando tale strumento per la prima volta fuori dall'ambito 'classico'. Registra svariati dischi per molti artisti dell'area milanese dell'epoca. Dal 1978 al 1980 suona col Gruppo Folk Internazionale di Moni Ovadia per il quale, insieme all'allora inseparabile amico oboista Mario Arcari, scrive buona parte delle musiche incise in 'Il nonno di Jonni' e 'Ensemble Havadià'. Suona nel disco 'Le mille e una notte' per l'omonimo spettacolo del Teatro dell'Elfo.. Col GFI compie numerose tournées in Italia ed Europa. Contemporaneamente fonda la DOM Democratic Orchestra Milano, grossa formazione che vede convivere musicisti 'classici' e 'giovani jazzisti' tuttora rappresentativi sulla scena nazionale, e non solo, del jazz nostrano. Per la DOM scrive diversi brani che per il loro carattere di sintesi tra classico e jazz, riscuotono notevole interesse di pubblico e di critica.. Dirige la stessa in importanti festival in Italia e in Francia, suonando in prima esecuzione brani scritti appositamente per essa da Enrico Rava, Antony Braxton, Alex Schlippenbach, Leroy Jenkins, Oliver Lake, ecc. Termina tale esperienza nel 1984 incidendo il disco 'Invenzioni'. Dal 1985 si dedica totalmente alla Composizione. Studia con Sciarrino, Ferneyhaugh, Grisey, Rotondi, Zosi e Donatoni, approfondendo la conoscenza delle più avanzate tecniche compositive e strumentali. Viene premiato in numerosi Concorsi internazionali di Composizione da giurati come Berio, Abbado, Petrassi, Huber, Pousseur, Morricone, Chailly, Ferneyhaugh, Donatoni, Sciarrino, Clementi ecc. E le sue musiche sono eseguite in prestigiosi contesti sia in Italia che all'estero. Alla sempre più introspettiva e isolata attività di Compositore, affianca, dal 1988 a tutt'oggi, l' attività didattica,come docente di Composizione, presso diversi Conservatori italiani. Vive, da alcuni anni, in Costiera Amalfitana.. Ultima opera: ' INFINITY' viene concepito negli ultimi mesi del 2006. Come matura riscoperta del 'semplice', del ritorno alle emozioni primordiali.
