    Doing Economics (eBook, ePUB)
    A guide for research economists: how to write papers, give talks, navigate the peer-review process, advise students, and more. Newly minted research economists are equipped with a PhD's worth of technical and scientific expertise but often lack some of the practical tools necessary for "doing economics." With this book, economics professor Marc Bellemare breaks down the components of doing research economics and examines each in turn: communicating your research findings in a paper; presenting your findings to other researchers by giving a talk; submitting your paper to a peer-reviewed journal; funding your research program through grants (necessary more often than not for all social scientists); knowing what kind of professional service opportunities to pursue; and advising PhD, master's, and undergraduate students. With increasing data availability and decreasing computational costs, economics has taken an empirical turn in recent decades. Academic economics is no longer the domain only of the theoretical; many young economists choose applied fields when the time comes to specialize. Yet there is no manual for surviving and thriving as a professional research economist. Doing Economics fills that gap, offering an essential guide for research economists at any stage of their careers.

    The Checklist Manifesto
    The modern world has given us stupendous know-how. Yet avoidable failures continue to plague us in health care, government, the law, the financial industry - in almost every realm of organized activity. And the reason is simple: the volume and complexity of knowledge today has exceeded our ability as individuals to properly deliver it to people - consistently, correctly, safely. We train longer, specialize more, use ever advancing technologies, and still we fail. Atul Gawande makes a compelling argument that we can do better, using the simplest of methods: the lowly checklist. He explains how checklists have made possible some of the most difficult things people do - from flying airplanes to building skyscrapers. He takes us from Austria, where an emergency checklist saved a patient who had spent half an hour underwater, to Michigan, where a cleanliness checklist in intensive care units virtually eliminated a type of deadly hospital infection, and to the flight deck of a crashingplane. Along the way, he reveals what checklists can do, what they cant, and how they could bring about striking improvements in fields well beyond medicine, from disaster recovery to investment banking, to professions and businesses of all kinds.

    For more than a century, Winged Hussars has been the richest of Earth's mercenary companies, as well as the only one to specialize in space warfare. Led by Alexis Cromwell, they have carved out a reputation in the galaxy for being dependable, unflappable, and lethally efficient. Until people began shooting at them everywhere they went. Rick Culper left Earth in the hopes of finding a job as a merc. A natural at fighting in the armed suits known as CASPers, he finally caught on with one of the premier Four Horsemen companies, but it's with the Winged Hussars, and the company's prospects are beginning to look bleak. Traps have been laid throughout a number of systems, and Commander Alexis Cromwell and her flagship, Pegasus, will be hard-pressed to make it back to their secret base. Even with Rick's help, the situation is much worse than anyone in the Hussars could have imagined. The Four Horsemen are being hunted, and the Hussars's future is dark. But there's one thing Alexis's enemies didn't count on - Alexis Cromwell is nobody's prey. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Hinton.

    Half-Off Ragnarok: InCryptid, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 616min
    What do gorgons, basilisks, and frogs with feathers all have in common? They're all considered mythological by modern science, and some people are working very hard to keep them that way. Alexander Price is a member of a cryptozoological lineage that spans generations, and it's his job to act as a buffer between the human and cryptid worlds - not an easy task when you're dealing with women who have snakes in place of hair, little girls who may actually be cobras, and brilliant, beautiful Australian zookeepers. And then there's the matter of the murders... Alex thought he was choosing the easier career when he decided to specialize in non-urban cryptids, leaving the cities to his little sister, Verity. It turns out that he had no idea what he was getting himself into. It's a family affair, and everyone - from his reanimated grandfather to his slightly broken telepathic cousin - is going to get involved before things get any better. Half-Off Ragnarok is the third installment of the highly praised InCryptid series. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ray Porter, Emily Bauer.

    Advertising in America: What Works, What Doesn't, and Why , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 374min
    Using 52-week radio schedules, the Wizard has been turning advertisers into millionaires with amazing results. In this series, the Wizard shares with you exactly how it's done. In these presentations, you will hear the Wizard as he speaks to business owners, and private sessions in which he speaks directly to your staff. The Wizard says things that can only be said behind closed doors. Deep training. Things you've never heard about copy writing, scheduling, and comparative media analysis. He also explains how, why, and when to have those hard conversations with clients. Chosen by editor Eric Rhoads to be a permanent, featured columnist in Radio Ink, the Wizard brings a truly unique perspective to radio. Though his firm currently has 52-week schedules airing on more than 550 radio stations, his company does not specialize in radio. So why do they use newspaper only for classified ads and why do they buy TV schedules on less than 40 stations in America? Because radio advertising usually represents the highest and best use of his clients' ad dollars, that's why! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Roy H. Williams.
