From the invention of the electric telegraph to the emergence of the Internet, new technology has constantly stimulated our desire for information. Nowhere is that desire more intense than in the world's financial trading community, where survival depends as never before on instant and continuous access to market prices and market- moving news. The creation of that community, by a handful of pioneering information companies, is the subject of this book. Its author spent a lifetime working for three of them, an improbably colorful career that took him from ...

Nel corso del nostro studio abbiamo sostenuto che il dialetto di Kinshasa ha una lingua e un vocabolario propri: come siamo arrivati a questo punto? Abbiamo cercato di rispondere a questa domanda e possiamo riassumere dicendo che l'arrivo di persone dall'Equateur, la migrazione di persone dalla Provincia Orientale a Kinshasa, la mobilità dei soldati e l'adozione del Lingala come lingua "ufficiale" dell'esercito, il ruolo di nuovi strumenti nella socializzazione di Kinshasa e i contatti multiculturali a Kinshasa hanno ampiamente favorito l'importazione ...

This book is modeled after 'Eighty-Eight Assignments for Development in Place,' one of the Center for Creative Leadership's most popular publications. In the years since that report was published, we have learned more about development in place--from research, from working with managers and organizations that are making use of developmental assignments, and from our colleagues in the field.

This is not a miracle cure book, but neither is it a wistful regret for what might have been. Everyone's Autistic is an attempt to describe living year-to-year as an autistic family, as nonjudgmental encouragement for those who do, frank enlightenment for those who have no idea, and entertaining reading for both. Many of the current autism books focus on the early years and on the Asperger Syndrome/higher-functioning end ...

Studies carried out in the last few decades have converged on significant evidence of an age-related decline in the speed of information processing and motor control, in addition, many factors influence motor learning, which makes it difficult to determine to what extent ageing affects learning. Given the decline in cognitive processes that accompanies ageing, combined with the changes in motor control related to age, there are reasons to suspect that the factors affecting learning, may act differently in older adults compared to young people. Thus, bearing ...
