The study on "Military Recruiting" explores the complexities of military recruitment and presents them in a global economic science context. It is not only a primary scientific study on employer attractiveness of state institutions on the example of the German Federal Armed Forces, offering a comparison with other European armies and the US military, but covers the theme of employer branding from work-life balance to global economic aspects. For the implementation of the results the two levels of internal and external influencing factors that affect the choice of the employer were determined: "instrumental dimension (objective (pre-)knowledge)" and "symbolic dimension (subjective emotions)". A particular intention of this work is to show how scientific research in civil-military context and civilian use may not only complement each other but also constitute an interdependent benefit extension. The core study covers not only "The attractiveness of the Bundeswehr as an employer in the light of the public good problem" and the recruitment in the military context, but also recruiting in general. Under this approach the Bundeswehr is exemplified as a state institution in the research focus of the recruitment of public employers. The analytic approach, the found correlations and implications may serve as a basis for public employers and government as well as for private companies. For this purpose, individual topics were embedded as self-contained subject areas (see Table of Contents and List of Figures) in the overall context. Beyond that, general government and policy-making aspects such as the problem of provision of public goods and geopolitical issues like the establishment of global public goods has been addressed with the understanding of the attached security concerns to sufficient degree.

Autor zagłębia się w związki fizyki, technologii, filozofii i sztuki z podróżami w czasie i opowiada o kulturowym rozwoju tej idei – od powieści H.G. Wellsa po telewizyjnego <em>Doktora Who</em>, od Prousta po Woody’ego Allena. Przygląda się też niezbyt wyraźnej granicy między science fiction a współczesną fizyką, by dojść do pytania, czym właściwie jest przeżywana przez nas chwila – świat ulotności, w którym teraźniejszość pożera wszystko, a przyszłość nieustannie znika.</p> <p> “Czysta przyjemność.

Deathworld is the name of a series of science fiction novels by Harry Harrison including the books Deathworld (first published 1960, serialized in Astounding Science Fiction), Deathworld 2 (1964, initially titled The Ethical Engineer and serialized in Analog) and Deathworld 3 (1968, serialized in Analog as The Horse Barbarians), plus the short story "The Mothballed Spaceship" (1973, written as part of a tribute to John W. Campbell). The central hero is a gambler who becomes involved with colonists of an extremely hostile planet. There are several hints that the novels take place in the same universe as Harrison's The Stainless Steel Rat series; however, other hints suggest a similar universe but not exactly the same one. For example, at several points in the Deathworld series, the novels mention the Special Corps with Inskipp as its leader; however, the story "The Mothballed Spaceship" mentions an armada about to attack Earth.a planet that is long destroyed in the time of The Stainless Steel Rat universe.

A woman finds herself caught at the terrible intersection of love and business. Averill Blaine should have been married years ago, but Eden Shore stole her fiancé Noel's heart. Eden, a fashion model, needed only a few weeks with Noel before he broke his engagement and proposed to her instead, but she never went through with the marriage. Years later, Averill has found a new fiancé, and nothing - not Eden, not even murder -will get in her way. Eden goes to Averill's wedding in hopes of seducing Noel once more. As the two couples circle warily, death intrudes - in the shape of a suspicious airplane crash that kills Averill's uncle. He is an expert pilot, but no amount of skill can stop the flames that leap from his engine as he crests 15,000 feet. Still, Averill and Eden are determined to say "I do," no matter how many die on their way to the altar. Review Quote. "Exciting ... a good Story ... lush." - The New York Times "Superb." - The New Yorker "Mignon Eberhart's name on mysteries is like sterling on silver." - Miami News Biographical note. Mignon G. Eberhart (1899-1996) wrote dozens of mystery novels over a nearly six decade-long career. Born in Lincoln, Nebraska, she began writing in high school, trading English essays to her fellow students in exchange for math homework. She attended Nebraska Wesleyan University, and in the 1920s began writing fiction in her spare time, publishing her first novel, The Patient in Room 18, in 1929. With the follow-up, While The Patient Slept (1931), she won a §5,000 Scotland Yard Prize, and by the end of the 1930's was one of the most popular female mystery writers on the planet. Before Agatha Christie ever published a Miss Marple novel, Eberhart was writing romantic crime fiction with female leads. Eight of her books, including While the Patient Slept and Hasty Wedding (1938) were adapted as films. Made a Mystery Writers of America grandmaster in 1971, Eberhart continued publishing roughly a book a year until the 1980s. Her final novel Three Days for Emeralds, was published in 1988.

Lucy Maud Montgomery's 'The Emily Starr Trilogy' consists of three captivating novels: 'Emily of New Moon,' 'Emily Climbs,' and 'Emily's Quest.' Set in the early 20th century, the series follows the coming-of-age journey of Emily Starr, a young aspiring writer, as she navigates the challenges and joys of growing up in a small Canadian town. Montgomery's poetic and evocative writing style captures the essence of Canadian literature and provides readers with a deeply immersive reading experience. The trilogy explores themes of identity, independence, and artistic ambition, making it a timeless classic in the realm of young adult fiction. Montgomery's vivid descriptions of the natural landscape and her insightful portrayal of human emotions add depth to the narrative, leaving a lasting impact on readers.

Fans of Montgomery's beloved 'Anne of Green Gables' series will appreciate the poetic charm and emotional depth of 'The Emily Starr Trilogy,' making it a must-read for anyone interested in classic literature and feminist coming-of-age stories.
