The thrilling, true story of the race to find a leak in the United States Embassy in Moscow--before more American assets are rounded up and killed. Foreword by Gen. Michael V. Hayden (Retd.), Former Director of NSA & CIA In the late 1970s, the National Security Agency still did not officially exist--those in the know referred to it dryly as the No Such Agency. So why, when NSA engineer Charles Gandy filed for a visa to visit Moscow, did the Russian Foreign Ministry assert with confidence that he was a spy? Outsmarting honey traps and encroaching deep enough into enemy territory to perform complicated technical investigations, Gandy accomplished his mission in Russia, but discovered more than State and CIA wanted him to know. Eric Haseltine's The Spy in Moscow Station tells of a time when--much like today--Russian spycraft had proven itself far beyond the best technology the U.S. had to offer. The perils of American arrogance mixed with bureaucratic infighting left the country u

Zwar durfte der Name Hans Sachs den meisten Menschen durch Richard Wagners Oper Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg ein Begriff sein, Kenntnisse uber das ubrige umfangreiche Schaffen Hans Sachs' sind jedoch meist beschrankt. Julia Heinzmann befasst sich mit einem kleinen Ausschnitt des Werkes von Hans Sachs, den 19 uberlieferten Buhlliedern, die zeigen, dass er nicht nur der strenge Lehrmeister der Tugend war. In den Buhlliedern preist Sachs mit den Mitteln des mittelalterlichen Minnesangs Damen und wirbt umihre Gunst. Da er diese Lieder im Auftrag von hoher gestellten Nurnberger Burgern verfasste, was auf seine anerkannte Stellung in der Gesellschaft deutet, sind sie sowohl in literaturwissenschaftlicher als auch in geschichtswissenschaftlicherHinsicht aufschlussreich.

Personality pathology, which is characterized by a pervasive, maladaptive, and inflexible pattern of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, has long been considered a set of categories that are distinct from each other and from "normal" personality. Research over the past three decades, however, has challenged that assumed separation, and instead suggests that abnormal personality is merely a maladaptive extension of the same features that describe the personalities of all humans. Using Basic Personality Research to Inform the Personality Disorders will present the work of prominent thinkers at the intersections of social, personality, developmental, and clinical psychology to consider theoretical and empirical issues relevant to how basic personality research can inform the scientific understanding of personality pathology. Surveying cutting-edge research on the science of basic personality and demonstrating how these ideas and methods can be applied to the conceptualization o

From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Fire and Fury and Siege: Trump Under Fire--Michael Wolff's wickedly funny chronicle of his rags-to-riches-to-rags adventure as a fledgling Internet entrepreneur exposes an industry powered by hype, celebrity, and billions of investment dollars, and notably devoid of profit-making enterprises. As he describes his efforts to control his company's burn rate--the amount of money the company consumes in excess of its income--Wolff offers a no-holds-barred portrait of unaccountable successes and major disasters, including the story behind Wired magazine and its fanatical founder, Louis Rossetto; the rise of America Online, perhaps the most dysfunctional successful company in history, and the humiliating inability of people such as Bill Gates to untangle the intricacies of the Web.

There seems to be a growing consensus that we are witnessing a critical moment in office design. It has become apparent that the standardized office environment is unable to keep pace with the changes that are profoundly altering the way we work: the advances in information technology, the growing need for energy conservation, the social and cultural changes concerning the rights of the individual in relation to the working environment, and the increasingly fluid dynamic of new organizational structures.
