Book Synopsis Softwar by : Matthew Symonds
Download or read book Softwar written by Matthew Symonds. This book was released on 2013-04-30. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This biography of the outspoken tech billionaire and founder of Oracle offers “a rare window on Ellison’s mind” (The New York Times). In a business where great risks, huge fortunes, and even bigger egos are common, Larry Ellison stood out as one of the most daring and driven leaders of the software industry. Oracle—the company he cofounded and ran—made pioneering advances, dominated the market, and turned Ellison into a Silicon Valley icon whose exploits are the stuff of legend. In Softwar, journalist Matthew Symonds gives readers exclusive and intimate insight into both Oracle and the man who made it. As well as relating the story of Oracle’s often bumpy path to success, Symonds deals with the private side of Ellison’s life. With unlimited insider access granted by Ellison himself, Symonds captures the intensity and, some would say, the recklessness that have made Ellison such a controversial figure. With a new and expanded epilogue that tells the story behind Oracle’s epic struggle to win control of PeopleSoft, Softwar is the most complete portrait undertaken of the man and his empire—a unique and gripping account of both an extraordinary life and the way the computing industry really works.

Book Synopsis Soft War by : Michael L. Gross
Download or read book Soft War written by Michael L. Gross. This book was released on 2017-06-09. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just war theory focuses primarily on bodily harm, such as killing, maiming, and torture, while other harms are often largely overlooked. At the same time, contemporary international conflicts increasingly involve the use of unarmed tactics, employing 'softer' alternatives or supplements to kinetic power that have not been sufficiently addressed by the ethics of war or international law. Soft war tactics include cyber-warfare and economic sanctions, media warfare, and propaganda, as well as non-violent resistance as it plays out in civil disobedience, boycotts, and 'lawfare.' While the just war tradition has much to say about 'hard' war - bullets, bombs, and bayonets - it is virtually silent on the subject of 'soft' war. Soft War: The Ethics of Unarmed Conflict illuminates this neglected aspect of international conflict.

Book Synopsis The New Soft War on Women by : Caryl Rivers
Download or read book The New Soft War on Women written by Caryl Rivers. This book was released on 2013-10-17. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time in history, women make up half the educated labor force and are earning the majority of advanced degrees. It should be the best time ever for women, and yet... it’s not. Storm clouds are gathering, and the worst thing is that most women don’t have a clue what could be coming. In large part this is because the message they’re being fed is that they now have it made. But do they? In The New Soft War on Women, respected experts on gender issues and the psychology of women Caryl Rivers and Rosalind C. Barnett argue that an insidious war of subtle biases and barriers is being waged that continues to marginalize women. Although women have made huge strides in recent years, these gains have not translated into money and influence. Consider the following: - Women with MBAs earn, on average, $4,600 less than their male counterparts in their first job out of business school. - Female physicians earn, on average, 39 percent less than male physicians. - Female financial analysts take in 35 percent less, and female chief executives one quarter less than men in similar positions. In this eye-opening book, Rivers and Barnett offer women the real facts as well as tools for combating the “soft war” tactics that prevent them from advancing in their careers. With women now central to the economy, determining to a large degree whether it thrives or stagnates, this is one war no one can afford for them to lose.
