Do you know what is the real cost of your software? Before you reach for a calculator, be forewarned that it’s a trick question. Even technology industry analysts and seasoned IT executives have difficulty putting a hard figure on the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of today’s enterprise application solutions. What makes the equation so tricky is the sheer number of variables that must be factored in, many of which cannot be lined up in a neat column and reconciled, such as issues of security, availability, performance, problem resolution and change management. The End of Software: Transforming Your Business for the On Demand Future, by Dr. Timothy Chou, is a groundbreaking book for business managers and executives that challenges conventional approaches to business software and proposes new alternatives to managing and maintaining the systems that companies depend on.

The End of Self-bondage German Foreign Policy in a World Without Leadership


Free Download The End of Self-bondage: German Foreign Policy in a World Without Leadership By Stefan Fröhlich
2021 | 143 Pages | ISBN: 3658327634 | PDF | 1 MB
Europe is in a permanent state of crisis: nationalisms, brexit and seemingly insurmountable differences on issues of migration, reforming the euro zone and improving its global competitiveness are threatening the cohesion of the Union. At the same time, external pressure from Russia and China, developments on the southern periphery, and not least in the United States, is growing. Trump’s election not only disintegrates Germany’s foreign policy coordinate system, but also turns the liberal international order upside down. Against this background, Stefan Fröhlich argues for a reassessment of Germany’s role in Europe and the world in this political essay: Germany’s foreign policy is better than its reputation. In recent years, the country has long since broken with numerous taboos and assumed leadership in Europe. This is one of the reasons why the accusations of those who continue to lament German complacency but at the same time evade global leadership and responsibility themselves sound downright cynical.This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Das Ende der Selbstfesselung by Stefan Fröhlich, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2019. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.

The End of Overkill Reassessing U.S. Nuclear Weapons Policy


Free Download Benjamin Friedman, Christopher Preble, Matt Fay, "The End of Overkill: Reassessing U.S. Nuclear Weapons Policy"
English | 2013 | ASIN: B00FFIQ0CO | EPUB | pages: 56 | 0.2 mb
President Obama has voiced his ambition to reduce the U.S. nuclear arsenal to as few as 1,000 deployed warheads. Yet while the United States has cut the arsenal’s size since the Cold War’s end, its missions and composition have barely changed. Around 1,600 deployed nuclear warheads remain tied to a triad of system-bombers, intercontinental ballistic missiles, and submarine-launched ballistic missiles. Current plans call for modernizing all three systems, which could cost taxpayers over $100 billion. This new paper, The End of Overkill? Reassessing U.S. Nuclear Weapons Policy, argues for basing U.S. nuclear weapons exclusively on submarines. It explains how the triad came from bureaucratic compromises, not strategic necessity, and shows how its burden on taxpayers is increasingly unjustified.

Bloody British History East End


Free Download Dr Samantha Bird, "Bloody British History: East End "
English | ISBN: 0750952334 | 2015 | 96 pages | EPUB | 5 MB
The East End of London has one of the bloodiest histories in Britain. East-Enders were blamed for the Great Plague of London; Jack the Ripper prowled here, as did the Ratcliffe Highway murderer and the gunmen of the famous Sidney Street siege. Communists, Fascists, strikers, Suffragettes, and Skeleton Armies have all fought running battles through its streets. Then the East-End weathered the worst that the Nazi bombers could throw at it during the dark days of the Blitz. Historically viewed as a "den of iniquity," and once teaming with opium dens, prostitutes (known locally as "tigresses"), and paupers, all living amidst the horrendous poverty, this is a story of dreadful odds and of determination, filled with horror, grim British humor, and hundreds of incredible years of history.
