The Origins of Israeli High Tech

Eine Familiengeschichte im 20. Jahrhundert

DAS HAUS KOERFER

A deeply researched account of the life and legacy of the man who defined the profession of private eyeAllan Pinkerton, the world's most famous private detective, has been an enduring source of fascination since the nineteenth century. But the details of his impact, business empire, and private life have been incomplete.Drawing on overlooked primary sources, Rhodri Jeffreys-Jones provides an authoritative account of the man and the Pinkerton National Detective Agency (PNDA). It is the story of how PNDA's founder and its successive generations of heirs put it at the center of American history for decades. A small sampling of Pinkerton's activities includes providing intelligence in the Civil War, pursuing high-profile outlaws like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and protecting scabs in the Homestead lockout, for which they became notorious. The book continues telling PNDA's history into the twentieth century and analyzes the legacies of Pinkertonism up to the present.General readers as well as scholars of American history will be fascinated by this rich new portrait of Pinkerton's accomplishments, controversies, and contradictions.

Frontiers Of Accounting And Financial History

The English language accounting history of double entry accounting before 1800 has reached an impasse. The doors to its reawakening are fiercely guarded by combination locks powered by confirmation bias and adherence to a priori wisdom requiring vast amounts of supportive scholarship to make public the smallest contribution to what is known and understood of the first 600 years of its use. To open those doors, a foundation is needed upon which scholarship can begin anew -- a framework of reference that can be used to justify the validity and relevance of scholarship and discovery in this field. That is the purpose and role of this book.It does not focus on the technical. It focuses on the environment and context of use of the method, and its function. It considers 'why' and consequences. It asks who, when, where, and what, along with 'how'. It adopts the perspective that the reason for the bookkeeping drove how it was adopted, not the availability of parchment or paper, nor the emergence of the concept of the technology -- the book -- in which it was recorded. Rather its use was driven by a need of the person who wrote the record, or by the needs of those who wished a record to be kept.A critical traditional historical method is adopted. Explanations are sought and identified utilising knowledge of the environment and context of practice that, to this point, rarely if ever feature in the antiquarian historiography this book ideally seeks to replace. The approach adopted is multi-disciplinary and the sources used are multi-disciplinary and multi-lingual. This book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in accounting's past.

A Critical History Of Double Entry Accounting 1150-1800

The wild, true story of cyber-era commerce, crime, cold-hard cash, and one of the greatest heists in history.
Even in hell, Bitcoin talks. This modern take on an old Japanese saying still holds true. Cryptocurrency was supposed to do for money what the Internet did for information, but it didn't work out that way. Its virtual existence unleashed real-world chaos - especially in the homeland of its mysterious creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. Tokyo was the centre of the world's largest bitcoin exchange, Mt. Gox, until that company collapsed with nearly half a billion dollars' worth of bitcoin gone missing. It might be the greatest heist in history. If it was a heist.
So what really happened? Here's the true story of the humble-to-hot commodity, from the former geek website that launched the boom to an inside world of absent-minded CEOs, hucksters, hackers, cybercrooks, drug dealers, corrupt federal agents, evangelical libertarians, and clueless techies. You'll discover Bitcoin's connection to the infamous Silk Road, learn why hell has nothing on Japan's criminal justice system, and get the lowdown on the high cost of betting with the Devil's dollars. All of this for less than the price of a single bitcoin.

Game Histories

Why and how Atari’s first video game Pong established an industry that shapes consumers’ relationships to technology to this day. Pong is one of the longest, most consistently circulating video games. Released in 1972, it remains at our fingertips as an app from Google Play or Apple App Store, hosted at freepong.org and the Internet Archive, and even released as A Tiny Game of Pong for the Apple Watch. Despite its simplicity and ubiquity, Atari’s Pong encapsulates far more than the history of a video game and iconic game company. King Pong is the first book dedicated to an unassuming game that changed the world. Through the prisms of product positioning, market development, and category creation, Raiford Guins answers the question of why Atari’s inaugural product succeeded and why it endures.&nbsp; Author of Game After and Atari Design, and an excavator of the “Atari landfill” in New Mexico, Guins brings us a unique history that reconsiders the launch of Atari’s Pong from the perspective of the company’s business practices. He follows the young West Coast startup from its early days first positioning its new product within the existing coin-op amusement industry in Silicon Valley to its later years establishing a consumer industry for home video games—a story of remarkable market development innovation. Written with a passion for video games and a historian’s insight, the book animates the business exploits of one of the fastest growing and most influential companies ever.

"A pathbreaking study that sheds light on an oddly little-studied aspect of architectural practice, despite its ubiquity and indispensability: the large architectural corporation. Cayer's account of the early AECOM and its expanded idea of architecture as a suite of related and unrelated services is business study, cultural critique, and aesthetic reflection rolled into one. A must-read for those looking or willing to go behind the 'creative' façade of the architectural profession."--Arindam Dutta, Professor of Architectural Theory and History, MIT "Far from the standard monographic, navel-gazing study of a single genius architect, Incorporating Architects uses the history of an architecture and engineering corporation to challenge our received wisdom about the nature of architectural practice. Aaron Cayer's analysis dissects one firm so thoroughly and insightfully that we learn something entirely new about the interconnections and dependencies among operations of the state, national and global economies, and capitalism itself."--Sara Stevens, author of Developing Expertise: Architecture and Real Estate in Metropolitan America "In this compelling exposé, Cayer charts the rise of AECOM, revealing how a once-traditional architecture firm adapted to become an essential player in the American empire's postwar expansion. Incorporating Architects is both a cautionary tale and a necessary rethinking of the architecture profession. It signals a new road that opens for many other professional fields."--Magali Sarfatti Larson, Professor Emerita of Sociology, Temple University, University of Urbino

SHORTLISTED FOR THE FINANCIAL TIMES AND SCHRODERS BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024A NEW STATESMAN BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024 A FINANCIAL TIMES BEST BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024'Original and thought-provoking... A brilliantly erudite account of the major waves in the theory and practice of management' Financial Times'Instead of theory it has wisdom... an excellent book' New Statesman For generations, we have defined a corporation as a business that uses its accumulated wealth to own the means of production and exercise economic power. That is no longer the reality. Corporations no longer control their own industries, and our most desired goods and services aren't stacked in container ships: they appear on your screen, fit in your pocket or occupy your head. But even as we consume more than ever before, big business faces a crisis of legitimacy. The pharmaceutical industry creates life-saving vaccines but has lost the trust of the public. The widening pay gap between executives and employees is destabilising our societies. Facebook and Google have more customers than any companies in history but are widely reviled. In incisive, provocative prose, economist John Kay describes how the pursuit of shareholder value has destroyed mammoth companies, redefines successful commercial activity, and looks to the future of what the corporation might be.

Praise for BUFFALO, BARRELS &amp; BOURBON "This book is more than just a history of a world-class distillery. Pacult uses the story of Buffalo Trace to tell the very story of bourbon itself-the very story of Kentucky itself-with expert verve and wit. An immediate classic." -Clay Risen, author of American Whiskey, Bourbon &amp; Rye: A Guide to the Nation's Favorite Spirit "I could listen to Paul Pacult tell stories about the Buffalo Trace Distillery for days on end. That's a lot to ask of a guy, though, so I read his engaging book instead. And man, did it ever speak to me. It's an exhaustively researched and deftly written historical tome that is guaranteed to make you thirsty. With Buffalo, Barrels &amp; Bourbon, Paul Pacult continues his longtime reign as America's finest spirits scribe." -Dan Dunn, author of American Wino: A Tale of Reds, Whites, and One Man's Blues "Historically, a 'buffalo trace' was the path ground away by a herd of migrating bison. There were no maps to guide the pioneers along those trails, but in Buffalo, Barrels &amp; Bourbon, Paul has provided an excellent map to the trail of one of Kentucky's legendary distilleries. While the Buffalo Trace brand may be just a couple of decades old, it is built on a legacy dating back to the days of the pioneers, and Paul's extensive research provides the definitive guide to the story of Buffalo Trace from the Lees, Taylors, and Staggs to today's award-winning distillers." -Mark Gillespie, Host/Executive Producer, WhiskyCast
