The Basics of Performance Measurement You can‘t understand manage or improve what you don‘t measure While every smart executive now knows the truth of those words perhaps more so than anyone it was Jerry Harbour who turned that adage into a science. Originally published in 1997 The Basics of Performance Measurement helped pioneer the science of performance measurement and continues to serve as an industry standard. Yet despite the book‘s continued relevancy Harbour is once again stepping ahead of the curve to fully update his little yellow book. In addition to adding the wisdom of lessons learned over the past decade he adds two new chapters to this second edition. One of these chapters discusses units of measurement. The other introduces ways to better interpret what has been measured and then translate those measurement-related interpretations into actionable knowledge. Harbour provides a six-step method for developing a performance measurement system. He shows how to design performance measurement families and how to build hierarchies tailored to different levels within an organization. He also covers collection and distribution as well as the value of performance measure displays. When you finish this book you will be able to undertake performance measurement with new confidence. You will also come away knowing how to present your findings with an authority that will convince stakeholders of the importance and accuracy of your results. GBP 170.00 1

Chapters discuss the foundations of BDSM what is meant by kink-affirming practice the purpose of claiming power and ceding control integrating and reclaiming identities dominant/submissive personas and the benefits of caregiving kink such as pet play. It practically discusses how to conduct a kink-affirming risk assessment as well as exploring topics like ethical and health boundary setting how to gain informed consent and the unique issues that arise when clinicians catch themselves romancing the kink.

Learning from Data for Aquatic and Geotechnical Environments The book presents machine learning as an approach to building models that learn from data and that can be used to complement the existing modelling practice in aquatic and geotechnical environments. It provides concepts of learning from data and identifies segmentation (clustering) classification regression and control as the learning tasks. A unified methodology based on the concepts of machine learning information theory and statistics is presented that can be followed to build models using data as well as expert knowledge. Several machine learning methods are used to extract features to build data-driven models in geotechnics. A set of regression models are built to predict sediment transport rates and assess harbour sedimentation. Controllers that replicate the control strategy of model-based optimal controllers of water systems are built for situations where fast and accurate decisions are needed. The models built demonstrate excellent performance; they may complement or even replace the existing models and can be used in practice. The performance of the models proves the effectiveness of the methodology and machine learning in general. | Learning from Data for Aquatic and Geotechnical Environments GBP 175.00 1
Culinary Creation The book seeks not to present a detailed history and discussion but instead is intended to provide the student with an appreciation of the idea that all cuisines of the world have something unique to offer to a menu. The author strongly believes that foods of other nations (and even other areas of the United States) are too often given short shrift by culture-bound students and chefs and that every attempt should be made to open their minds to the unlimited possibilities available. The wordfoodism is introduced to refer to biases against foods outside your culture. | Culinary Creation GBP 115.00 1
Piracy in the Levant 1827-8 A selection from the papers of the commander in chief of the Mediterranean station Sir Edward Codrington which shows the British government’s determined policy following on from the bombardment of Algiers to try to end attacks on trade in that sea. The target on this occasion was ‘privateers’ operating out of the impoverished Aegean islands whose inhabitants had long used these methods to sustain their economies and who were exploiting the opportunities created by the Greek war of independence from the Turks to do so. Codrington tackled the problem in two ways – by bringing pressure on the Greek provisional government and on local authorities to control their own subjects and by direct action where they failed to act. This volume reproduces the reports of the frigate and sloop captains who carried out this task culminating in the destruction of the pirate fleet and military occupation of their stronghold at Grabusa Crete where the frigate Cambrian was wrecked on a rock at the harbour entrance. These operations are a striking example of the enforcement of the Pax Britannica on an unwilling population. | Piracy in the Levant 1827-8 GBP 39.99 1
Debordering and Rebordering Central and South Eastern Europe after the First World War This book addresses practices of bordering debordering and rebordering on the territory of the former Austro-Hungarian Monarchy after state borders had been remapped on the negotiation tables of the Paris Peace Treaties following the First World War. As life in borderlands did not correspond to the peaceful Europe articulated in the Paris Treaties a multitude of (un)foreseen complications followed the drawing of borders and states. The chapters in this book include new case studies on the creation centralization or peripheralization of border regions such as Subcarpathian Rus Vojvodina Banat and the Carpathian Mountains; on border zones such as the Czechoslovakian harbour in Germany; and on cross-border activities. The book shows how disputes over national identities and ethnic minorities as well as other factors such as the economic consequences of the new state borders appeared on the interwar political agenda and coloured the lives of borderland inhabitants. The contributions demonstrate the practices of borderland inhabitants in the establishment functioning disorganization or ultimate breakdown of some of the newly created interwar nation-states. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal European Review of History. | Debordering and Rebordering Central and South Eastern Europe after the First World War GBP 130.00 1

International Conflict and Conflict Management This book asks scholars to reexamine international conflict and its management—in order to move the field toward directly theorizing about and examining the interdependence between conflict events and conflict management attempts. Despite decades of work research on international conflict and its management remains siloed in three fundamental ways. First scholars do not thoroughly address international conflict dynamics within studies of conflict management even though the former give rise to the latter. Second existing work generally investigates one conflict management strategy (e. g. mediation) at the expense of others (e. g. adjudication). These strategies however are not independent of one another; they exist on a single menu from which potential third parties choose. Third parties therefore implicitly—if not explicitly—consider and select among the various strategies when deciding how to manage a conflict thereby inviting and incorporating comparisons. Finally researchers tend to treat conflict management efforts—even within the same conflict—as independent events even though some efforts (e. g. adjudication or arbitration) follow and explicitly relate to other earlier efforts (e. g. an earlier negotiation or mediation). In short elements of sequencing and interaction influence conflict management even as scholars rarely consider such elements. This book will be of great value to scholars and researchers of Political Science International Relations and Conflict Management and Resolution. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of International Interactions. | International Conflict and Conflict Management GBP 120.00 1
