OH: The Little Book of Manga

The Little Book of Manga

This book is a history book documenting the CCS-Civil Communication Section - which was created by General Douglas MacAuthur during the occupation of WWII to improve communications in Japan. However, before they could work on improving the quality of communications they found they had to train the major communications companies in American Management. Ultimately this training led to the resurgence and later dominance of the Japanese electronics industry and Japan's economic miracle. Many of the teachings laid the foundation for what we call Lean and Six Sigma today. This book documents the genesis of the CCS and how three engineers helped get the Japanese economy by teaching American management and placing an emphasis on shop-floor leadership.

The Foundations of Lean Management

"Lost Worlds convinces us of the value of slowing down to recognize the tremendous diversity of the human past. But he presses hard against the conclusion that there was any direction or pattern behind its complexity." —The Wall Street Journal“A spellbinding tour de force!” —Walter Scheidel, author of What Is Ancient History?“This is non-fiction storytelling at its finest.” —Eric H. Cline, author of 1177 B.C.The creator of the hit podcast Tides of History offers a new look at humanity’s deep past, showing us how our world was built not by inevitability, but by trial and error on a global scale.There’s a familiar story about us humans: we went from hunting and gathering to farming, wandering bands to villages and cities, clans and chieftains to states and kings. But Lost Worlds offers a new narrative of humanity’s deep history. Here beloved podcast host Patrick Wyman focuses on the 10,000-year span between the end of the Ice Age and the decline of the Bronze Age—the period when civilization as we understand it emerged, introducing social hierarchies, urbanism, complex political organizations, and the written word.In this nuanced retelling, human progress is no longer a straight march from caves to cities: Farming didn’t always replace foraging, villages didn’t automatically spark agriculture, and cities didn’t necessitate rigid hierarchies. For thousands of years, humans merely improvised. By the end of the Bronze Age, the world had become unrecognizable: mammoths and giant sloths replaced by cattle and sheep, scattered nomadic bands replaced by millions living in cities, and farming on nearly every continent. Wyman argues that the rise of states and steady food production wasn’t inevitable, but rather, the outcome of countless choices that reshaped the planet and made us who we are today.Combining cutting-edge science with gripping storytelling, Lost Worlds explores: <ul><li>A Sweeping New History of the Ancient World: Discover how early societies rose, adapted, and collapsed across thousands of years of human history.</li><li>The Archaeology Revolution: Ancient DNA, climate science, and new excavation methods are revealing how prehistoric people lived, migrated, and fought.</li><li>From Ice Age Hunters to Early Civilizations: Follow the dramatic transformation that led from nomadic foragers to farming, cities, and powerful states.</li><li>Why Societies Rise—and Fall: Learn how climate change, migration, population growth, and conflict shaped the fate of early civilizations.</li></ul>

unOrdinary book 4

A collection of eye-opening natural experiments, showing how economists uncover cause-and-effect relationships and reveal insights about our world. Does having a daughter change how a congressperson votes? How did a nineteenth-century doctor help discover germs? Is it better to go first or second in a penalty shootout? Why don’t diplomats pay their parking tickets? Do leaders really matter? These are all questions economists ask. Some of these questions are serious, others less consequential. But all are interesting—and can be answered by way of the natural experiment. A natural experiment is an event in the real world that neatly divides people into a treatment and control group—and it is one of the greatest tools in the economist’s toolkit. In Daughters, Diplomats, and Death, Patrick Gourley discusses why and how economists have leveraged this powerful method to answer questions that were long thought unanswerable. In the vein of Freakonomics, Nudge, and The Tipping Point, the book takes the reader on a lively and engaging tour of some of the most fascinating natural experiments, explaining how they work, how they help social scientists answer questions, and what conclusions they reached. The experiments illuminate a wide range of timely issues in health, education, reproductive issues, and the environment, lending rich and much-needed nuance to the complex debates that shape today’s headlines.

How Economists Use Natural Experiments to Decipher Our World

Daughters, Diplomats, and Death

KAWS. Art &amp; Comic untersucht die Wechselwirkung von Comics, Bildergeschichten, Cartoons und Kunst. 
 Die Publikation rückt den US-amerikanischen Künstler KAWS in einen Dialog mit ausgewählten Positionen der Gegenwart und betont die künstlerische Autonomie seiner Charaktere, die Straßen-, Pop-, kommerzielle und öffentliche Kunst miteinander verbinden.
 
 Comics tragen die Kennzeichen einer universalen Sprache und existieren in vielen Kulturen als eine eingängige Art Geschichten grafisch, in Wort und Bild, zu erzählen. Jean-Michel Basquiat, Ad Reinhardt und Kerry James Marshall entwerfen als bildende Künstler nahezu klassische Comics. Karikatur, Satire und eine kaderförmige Narration in Frames waren auch schon vor der Erfindung der Kamera und des (Animations-)Filmes eine attraktive Art, Geschichten zu vermitteln: grenzüberschreitend und transnational, sprechen sie alle Altersgruppen und Gesellschaftsschichten an. Ab den 1960er-Jahren stellen Künstler*innen wie Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg und Keith Haring die Grenze zwischen High &amp; Low Art radikal in Frage. Prominente Positionen der Gegenwartskunst reichen von KAWS und Joyce Pensato über Nicole Eisenman bis Peter Saul. 
 
 KAWS, der in den 1990er-Jahren als Graffiti-Künstler arbeitete, übermalte Plakate und Werbung im öffentlichen Raum, indem er die Gesichter auf Postern mit seinen typischen Markierungen, durchkreuzten Augen, versah. Besonders bekannt ist er für seine überdimensionierten figurativen Skulpturen aus verschiedensten Materialien wie Bronze oder Holz, häufig Inflatables, im öffentlichen Raum. Seine COMPANIONs und ACCOMPLICEs, wie er manche von ihnen nennt, zeigt er selbstbewusst, schüchtern oder traurig. Manchmal umarmen sie sich, manchmal sitzen sie da und halten die Hände über das Gesicht und schämen sich. Häufig sind sie allein, isoliert und melancholisch dargestellt, ein anderes Mal tauchen sie in einer Gruppe oder als Familie auf.
 
 Comicfiguren ziehen sich leitmotivisch durch die Publikation und finden sich im Werk einer aktuellen Künstler*innengeneration wie die Pink Panther-Gemälde von Katherine Bernhardt, die Keramikfiguren der venezolanischen Künstlerin Magdalena Suarez Frimkess und die von der asiatischen Mangakultur inspirierten Gemälde von Isolde Maria Joham wieder: Nicht nur als Referenz bedienen sich Künstler*innen der Welt der Comics, sie untersuchen in ihrer Darstellung, in der Abbildung ihrer Physiognomie, in Gesten und Bewegungen spezifische Charaktere und ihre psychischen Dispositionen.

'Brilliant and discursive'Antonia Fraser, Sunday TimesWinner of the FAWCETT PRIZEand EMILY TOTH AWARDIn the 2000 years since her death Cleopatra has been re-created over and over again by poets, artists and filmmakers, each time in a form that fits the prejudices and yearnings of the age that produced it. To Chaucer she was the model of a good wife, while to Cecil B.De Mille she was 'the wickedest woman in history'.This book is about the real Cleopatra, the most powerful woman in her world, but also about the legion of imaginary Cleopatras and about the sexual, racial and political messages they carry.

"One of the most affecting graphic novels I've read in some time. You'll root for Kirah as she navigates a county's institutional racism, her mysterious family history, and brutal Gatorman murders, written and artistically rendered with care and love and righteous anger. Don't miss this one." –PAUL TREMBLAY, New York Times bestselling author of Horror Movie and The Cabin at the End of the World&nbsp;&nbsp;A gripping graphic horror novel set in the Florida bayou, following a young biracial woman as she uncovers her estranged father’s role in a grisly hate crime.&nbsp;Kirah was born from an improbable interracial relationship that, in central Florida’s infamous Asurupa County, defied all the odds. But her idyllic childhood was shattered by an urban legend come to life. The “Gatorman” was a nightmare on the lips of kids and grown-ups alike all the way back to Jim Crow: a monster with the body of a man, the head of an alligator—and a taste for Black children. That’s who crawled into Kirah’s window when Kirah was just five years old. According to the police, it was Kirah’s own father who put on that gator mask and tried to kill her.Twenty years later, Kirah works hard to build a life unburdened by the traumatic events of her childhood.&nbsp;Just when it seems like she’s managed to find her stride, her dad, fresh out of prison, crashes back into her world with a chilling message: “He’s coming for you.”Finally forced to face the hideous family history she’s been avoiding, Kirah sets off to discover where, and who, she truly came from. And the more she learns, the more disturbing the whole picture becomes. Turns out there’s a lot more to the Gatorman than Kirah thought, and even worse: he isn’t through with her just yet.A clever hybrid of swamp noir, slasher horror, and social satire—and brought to life by Camilla Sucre’s vivid illustrations—Mama Came Callin’&nbsp;is a story about family and legacies, both the ones we inherit and the ones we can’t escape.

Die Washingtoner Prinzipien von 1998, fordern die Signatarstaaten zu "gerechten und fairen Lösungen" im Umgang mit "NS-Raubkunst" auf. Das Vereinigte Königreich setzte diesen Appell im Jahr 2000 mit Einrichtung des "Spoliation Advisory Panel" (SAP) um, das seither einen Streitbeilegungsmechanismus bietet, um auf die Ansprüche Berechtigter zu reagieren. Dieser Band nimmt die 22 Empfehlungen in den Blick, die das Panel bislang ausgesprochen hat. Die Entscheidungen werden vor dem Hintergrund der englischen Rechtstradition und -praxis sowie der historischen Rolle des Vereinigten Königreichs analysiert, systematisiert und einem abstrakten Regelwerk zugeführt. Die so sichtbar gemachte Entscheidungslinie des SAP kann als Diskussions- und Vergleichsgrundlage für die Restitutionspraxen anderer Staaten herangezogen werden.

"Fair and just?"

In this modern day fairy tale, seven sisters raised in the woods fight to keep their freedom.Deep in the woods of western Finland, a bear hunter has raised his seven daughters to live off the land and steer clear of the trappings of life in town, like cell phones and a social life outside their family. When on his youngest Elga’s twelfth birthday the hunter is killed by his prey, and their mother dies soon thereafter, the sisters are left with unpaid bills and a leaky house. The tension between sticking to the wild ways their father taught them and submitting to well-meaning townsfolk’s efforts to “help” threatens to divide the seven sisters. Eldest Johanna tries to wield control, young Elga feels tempted by the pull to education, artist Laura spends all her time dreaming up sculptures and exploring nature – but their trips to the farmer’s market to sell foraged mushrooms and their free time exploring their vast forest home bring them together in riotous fun. With evocative language and visceral scene-setting, readers get lost in world they’ve invented together and join the fight to protect it.Inspired by Aleksis Kivi’s classic Finnish novel&nbsp;Seven Brothers&nbsp;(1870), The Bear Hunter’s Daughters is at once realistic and fantastical, an intensely sensory exploration of our essential bonds both with nature and with one another.

"Go jump in a lake! Bawdy, fantastic, and surprisingly poignant, The Bear Hunter's Daughters is the perfect book for the wildest person in your life. Told with brio and humor, this fable of the seven redhaired sisters settles deep in your bones. I loved it from beginning to end." - Keith Donohue, author of The Girl in the Bog and The Stolen ChildIn this funny and unforgettable modern day fairy tale, seven sisters raised in the woods fight to keep their freedom.Deep in the woods of western Finland, a bear hunter has raised his seven daughters to live off the land and steer clear of the trappings of life in town, like cell phones and a social life outside their family.
