The Pentagon's Wars: The Military's Undeclared War Against America's Presidents , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 851min
A gripping insider account of the clash between America's civilian and military leadership The Pentagon's Wars is a dramatic account of the deep and divisive debates between America's civilian leaders and its military officers. Renowned military expert Mark Perry investigates these internal wars and sheds new light on the US military - the most powerful and influential lobby in Washington. He reveals explosive stories, from the secret history of Clinton's "don't ask, don't tell" policy to how the military plotted to undermine Barack Obama's strategy in Afghanistan, to show how internal strife and deep civilian-military animus shapes America's policy abroad, often to the nation's detriment. Drawing on three decades of high-profile interviews, both on and off the record, Perry yields sobering judgments on the tenures of our nation's most important military leaders. The Pentagon's Wars is essential listening for anyone seeking to understand the inner workings of the making of America's foreign policy. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ron Butler.

Project Myopia: Why Projects Damage Software #NoProjects , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 172min
Projects fail. Some say 40 percent of all IT projects fail, some say 70 percent. And it has been that way for years. Each project fails for its own reasons but they all share one thing in common: the project model. Could it be the project model itself which creates failure? In this tour de force Allan Kelly explains why the project model is a poor fit for managing software development. Working from industry-recognized definitions of projects, he describes how the model deviates from reality then goes on to discuss:Why focusing on time, scope, and cost damages software, creates goal displacement, and reduces quality How projects miss the bigger picture Why maximizing value demands work across projects When debt is good and how projects increase technical debt to the detriment of value delivery The false projects and conflicts that arise when companies apply the language of projects to continuing work Projects end. Successful software continues. Twenty-first-century digital businesses want to continue and grow. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stacy Gonzalez.

Getting Upset , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 60min
We all get upset from time to time, whether it is from bad service, other people being rude, things not going the way they should, the list is endless and it affects us. Similarly we get annoyed by the excess of current politically correct morons who are forever getting offended for the sake of it and have nothing to back up their position other than by default being subhumans and can't get to grips with free speech and the fact that others have a different opinion to themselves. We need to understand why we get upset and not just because something irks us, that's not good enough. Why we labour upon thoughts and deliberate to our detriment isn't smart either, it serves no purpose nor solves anything, in fact it just makes us angry and alters nothing. This audio download is for those who easily get upset or dwell on what has happened and goes through the ways in which we can eliminate it all so we can move forward again. ungekürzt.
