Trevithick F: A Sketchy Report On the
Petroleum Industry at Baku, May 1886

A Sketchy Report On the Petroleum Industry at Baku, May 1886

China hat in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten eine beeindruckende Transformation vollzogen. Dennoch wird das Bild Chinas in der westlichen Welt oft von veralteten Vorstellungen und Klischees bestimmt. Verstehen wir tatsächlich die chinesische Gesellschaft, ihre Menschen und ihre Wirtschaft? Und wie konnte es gelingen, einen derart rasanten wirtschaftlichen Aufstieg zu realisieren?Das wirtschaftliche Gravitationszentrum der Welt verlagert sich, weg vom Atlantik und Europa, hin zum Pazifikraum. Die chinesische Regierung bereitet sich strategisch auf dieses neue Zeitalter des 21. Jahrhunderts vor. Europa und die Europäische Union sollten es ihr gleichtun. Dafür ist jedoch entscheidend, dass wir uns zunächst darüber klar werden, welche Ziele und Interessen wir in dieser neuen globalen Ordnung verfolgen wollen.&nbsp;Der InhaltDieses Buch soll mit verschiedenen Sichtweisen dazu beitragen ein Verständnis zu schaffen, Wissen zu vermitteln und persönliche Erfahrungen zu teilen. Denn nur Offenheit und gegenseitiger Respekt kann dazu dienen, China zu verstehen, besonders aus deutscher Sicht.Mit Beiträgen von: Julian Backhaus, Rolf Claessen, Ashley Dudarenok, Martina Fuchs, Emanuela Hanes, Dagobert Hartmann, Stefanie Liliane Hegger, Jutta Hensel, Alexandra Hildebrandt, Manfred Huschka, Stephan Jüngling, Francis Kremer, Anastasia Lauterbach, Helmut Merkel, Derek Meyer, René Ruschmeier, Michael Schumann, Sophia Slingerland, Patrick Soureck, Alexandra Stefanov, Urs Unkauf, Wai Manske Wang, Thomas Cherico Wanger, Ilka Waßmann, Christoph Weber, Miriam Wickertsheim, Kevin Johannes Woerner, Mingqi Xie, Wanze Zhang und Moonie Zhu.&nbsp;Der Herausgeber&nbsp;Tobias W.

China hat in den vergangenen Jahren eine atemberaubende Entwicklung erlebt. Trotzdem ist das China-Bild besonders in der westlichen Welt von Vorstellungen und Klischees geprägt. Verstehen wir die chinesische Gesellschaft, die Menschen und die Wirtschaft wirklich? Wie konnte es China gelingen, so einen rasanten wirtschaftlichen Aufstieg zu schaffen?&nbsp;
 
 Das zukünftige wirtschaftliche Zentrum der Welt sind nicht mehr der Atlantik und Europa. Die Zukunft wird sich um den Pazifik abspielen. Die Chinas Regierung wappnet sich für dieses kommende Zeitalter im 21. Jahrhundert. Wir in Europa und der EU sollten das besser auch tun. Dazu müssten wir uns aber darüber einig sein, was wir eigentlich wollen.

Human Exceptionality: School, Community, and Family

Many existing textbooks in behavioural finance take only the perspective of users of financial information, but ignore the implications of judgments during the preparation of financial information. This book uses a holistic approach in examining behavioural accounting and bridges this gap.The book begins by introducing the current knowledge in the emerging area of behavioural accounting and also covers the entire spectrum from the preparation of financial information, auditing, and ultimately, to the interpretation and application of financial information of external users. The comprehensive overview of human elements in accounting makes this book an invaluable resource.

This book examines behavioural accounting and bridges the gap where existing textbooks in behavioural finance take only the perspective of users of financial information, but ignore the implications of judgments during its preparation.

What does it look like to do business with integrity? In Just Business, Alec Hill argues that the foundational Christian concepts of holiness, justice, and love are the keys to a truly Christian business ethic. Written for students and professionals who want their faith to inform their business practices, this textbook provides a clear, practical, and theologically grounded framework for navigating the ethical challenges of modern business life.Now in its fourth edition, Just Business has been updated with more current case studies and examples from global economies and a brand-new chapter on artificial intelligence, making it a timely and comprehensive Christian business ethics resource for today.Just Business features: <ul><li>An accessible and practical Christian perspective on business that teaches readers to apply timeless moral principles in ethical decision-making</li><li>Insightful case studies on pressing topics such as employer-employee relations, discrimination, international business, artificial intelligence, and environmental impact</li><li>Real-world examples of business successes and failures from economies around the globe</li><li>Evaluations of alternative secular approaches to business ethics including dual morality, agency, and law</li></ul>Because God himself is holy, just, and loving, we should strive to embody those characteristics in the way we do business. Just Business is a valuable resource for both undergraduate and graduate students as well as working professionals who want a guide to business ethics rooted in Christian conviction rather than conventional corporate values. If you are a professor looking for a text that takes both faith and business seriously, or a student trying to figure out how your beliefs translate into your career, this book gives you a place to begin and a framework to build on.

Christian Ethics for the Marketplace

Too many leaders are burning out--and taking their teams with them. Despite good intentions, many organizations still push harder, demand more, and equate long hours with high performance. The result? Talented people walk away from work they once loved, while leaders feel stuck between delivering results at any cost or failing altogether. Longevity Leadership challenges that paradigm. Drawing on neuroscience, behavioral science, and years of experience in organizational change, Jessica Billiet offers a new model for leadership--one that recognizes performance and well-being are not in conflict but deeply connected. When leaders understand how the brain responds to stress, motivation, and habit, they can create environments where people are energized, innovative, and resilient--without sacrificing results. This book explores the small, often overlooked choices leaders make every day: how they respond to pressure, how they communicate during uncertainty, and how they shape team habits and rhythms. Readers will learn practical, science-backed strategies for reducing burnout, leading through resistance, and building sustainable performance across their teams and organizations. At its core, Longevity Leadership is a call for systemic change. It's about equipping leaders at every level with tools to achieve results without destroying the people who deliver them. Inspiring and deeply practical, this book shows that when leaders honor both performance and mental health, everyone wins.

Perspectives on Asian Tourism

This book explores the evolving landscape of sustainable and regenerative tourism in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries—Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, and Bahrain—in the post-COVID-19 era. Tourism is a vital and highly inclusive sector across the region, generating value not only within hospitality, transport, retail, and cultural industries, but also indirectly across sectors such as telecommunications and financial services. However, the COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted tourism, with travel restrictions and lockdowns leading to a sharp decline in tourist arrivals and revenues.As the sector rebounds, with tourist numbers surpassing pre-pandemic levels in recent years, new challenges have emerged, including over-tourism and its impact on local ecosystems and communities. These developments have intensified debates around the need for more sustainable and regenerative approaches to tourism, emphasising models that are less extractive and more responsive to environmental and social contexts.Against this backdrop, the book provides a timely platform for examining current and future strategies for sustainable tourism development in the GCC. It brings together diverse perspectives to address how the region can balance growth with ecological preservation and community well-being.Structured around three interconnected themes, policies, technologies, and practices, the volume offers a comprehensive framework for understanding tourism transformation. Policies provide strategic direction and regulatory context; technologies act as enablers of innovation and implementation; and practices reflect the lived experiences where these elements converge. By examining the dynamic interplay among these dimensions, the book delivers a holistic and forward-looking analysis of sustainable and regenerative tourism in the Gulf region.

Across clinics, classrooms, city halls, and financial systems, women continue doing the uncredited work of governing AI: deciding when systems can be trusted, paused, refused, and repaired. Governing the Default names this work as relational governance, demonstrating how leaders can turn critique of AI's extractive norms into operational practice. Bringing together industry and academic contributors, the volume reframes organizational care as governance designed into decision rights, feedback loops, oversight, and repair. Its copy-ready practices help leaders, educators, and policymakers replace opaque defaults with consent-first, benefit-sharing, repair-ready systems.

Essential rental forms, including a legally-compliant lease that you can tailor to your state's laws and your business's needs. Small residential landlords face the choice of hiring expensive lawyers to write leases and forms, or buying generic forms online. Here is an alternative: A lease and associated forms that, when used in conjunction with the law charts in the back of the book, result in leases and agreements that will pass legal muster. Don't guess at the law--use Nolo's resources to get it right.

Are digital technologies really a silver bullet for development in the Global South?


Digital technologies are supposed to solve the challenges of climate change, projected population growth, land conflicts and food insecurity, especially in rural areas. Yet NGOs, government institutions, and private companies are increasingly adopting a trial-and-error approach as they recognize the limitations of transferring Western science and technologies to the global South.
 
This book presents the ambivalent practices and implications of digital pilot projects which aim to 'develop' both farming communities and locally adapted innovations in East Africa. Inspired by laboratory ethnographies in Science and Technology Studies, it explores the practices of testing and developing digital technologies in rural Tanzania. The multi-sited ethnography, which takes in agricultural fairs, conferences, documents, online courses, tech hubs, project offices, villages and fields, centres on three case studies, namely DAST (a digital land-formalisation tool), STAS (an AI system for agricultural productivity) and iPlus (an e-extension tool). Rather than viewing these technologies simply as welcome tools to promote connectivity, empowerment and increased production - as commonly advanced in development policy - this book foregrounds the (un)intended consequences of the planning, set-up, maintenance and results of digital pilot projects. Against the backdrop of conflicting logics between testing technologies and developing Tanzanian agriculture through them, this book considers their (un)predictable impacts on new actors, the character of development and the trial communities in rural Tanzania.
