Highlights from American Greats (from the rear outer cover): "It remains what it was, the greatest of bridges, the Brooklyn Bridge, made in America, its appeal defying time, a symbol now no less than ever of brave work nobly done." - David McCullough on the Brooklyn Bridge. "There is only one Chez Panisse. In this age of multiple restaurants it has no clones in London, Las Vegas, or Tokyo. Because Alice Waters has more than money on her mind." - Ruth Reichl on Chez Panisse. "Duke Ellington liked to claim he won his job at the Cotton Club, in December 1927, because he showed up three hours late for the audition, as did the owner, who heard only Ellington and non of his rivals." - Gary Giddins on the Duke Ellington Orchestra. "They [the editors] had uncanny ears for a false note; they sometimes surprised you by accepting a daring or experimental piece; they manifested a cloistered virtue, in a fallen, hustling world, that made appearing anywhere else feel like a dangerous trespass." - John Updike on The New Yorker. "Our original goal was simple, and only in retrospect, revolutionary: to use television to help children learn. We knew young children watched a great deal of television in the years before they went to school. We also knew they liked cartoons, game shows, and situation comedies; that they responded to slapstick humor, music with a beat, and above all - sadly - fast-paced, oft-repeated commercials." - Joan Ganz Cooney on Sesame Street. "So here I was, my anxiety over the flight spilling all over Danny DeVito, my fears at the time very real. Danny responded, 'Look there's no way you're going to crash because I am the LUCKIEST MAN ALIVE, and since I need you to do this work with me when you come back, there is no way you don't make it back.' 'Great,' I said. 'I can just picture it; the plane is on fire and as we crash I'm screaming, "Ha, ha Danny. Your luck has run out.' " - James L. Brooks on television situation comedy. "What made the Wright brothers' successful early experiments so remarkable is that neither had any academic education in physics. They were entirely self-taught. The difference between them and other small town entrepreneurs was they had a genius for learning, and for identifying new problems to solve." - John Keegan on the Wright Brothers. "West Point has always seemed to me to be unusually close to Main Street in Middle America; it is a place without glitz, which without consciously trying, reflects both the norm, the center, and the diversity of America. Again and again it turns out good people of significant personal modesty and a powerful sense of obligation." - David Halberstam on West Point.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Command and control (C2) is an essential element of all combat operations. Measuring the effectiveness of a C2 system is a difficult task. Numerous definitions, the lack of a common vocabulary, and the absence of a prevailing conceptual framework are factors that obfuscate any methodology for assessing the performance or components of a system. The most useful approach produces quantifiable data that measure the efficiency of components within a C2 system. Key to this evaluation technique is the establishment of measurable and meaningful criteria. This monograph examines key aspects of C2 at the tactical level in order to propose a set of criteria for measuring the efficiency of a C2 system. The study begins with a theoretical and doctrinal analysis of C2 in order to establish a model of the C2 process. Components of the model are then translated into general force design requirements to illustrate linkages between process and structure and establish a focus for measures of efficiency. Theoretical and doctrinal insights are explored during the next step in order to establish a set of criteria for measuring the efficiency of a C2 system. An analysis of unit performance at the National Training Center is used to reinforce the validity of the proposed criteria. The study concludes by addressing implications with regard to doctrinal development, future research, and force design. This monograph suggests that a unit's Table of Organization and Equipment (TOE) is the focus for measuring efficiency in a C2 system. Continuity of operations, accuracy of information, speed of the process, and security of information are criteria that measure the key attributes of an ideal C2 system.

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. No Jacket. Hardcover, xx + 327 pages, NOT ex-library. Missing the dust jacket. Good+, little wear. A crease in lower half of both blank endpapers, gently showing also on pages. Interior is clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. -- This book provides a rigorous technical framework for using behavioural microsimulation models to predict how changes in tax and social security systems affect people's decisions to work. It bridges the gap between complex econometric theory and practical policy evaluation. The authors focus on the "labour supply response" - the way individuals adjust their working hours or participation in the workforce when their net income changes due to government policy. Discrete Choice Modelling: A central feature of the book is the use of discrete choice models to estimate labour supply. Rather than assuming people can work any number of hours, these models recognise that individuals usually choose between specific options (e.g., not working, part-time, or full-time). The MITTS Model: Much of the research is illustrated using the Melbourne Institute Tax and Transfer Simulator (MITTS). The book explains how this tool was developed to analyse the Australian tax system, though the principles are applicable globally. Welfare and Inequality: Beyond just "hours worked," the book explores how to measure the social welfare effects of reforms, including their impact on income inequality and poverty. Revenue Neutrality: It provides methods for calculating whether a proposed tax cut can "pay for itself" through increased labour activity or if it requires offsetting adjustments to remain revenue-neutral. Key Thematic Sections: The volume is structured to guide the reader through the entire simulation process: - Econometric Estimation: How to use household survey data to estimate the parameters of individual preferences. - Simulation Techniques: Detailed explanations of the "calibration" and "arithmetic" involved in microsimulation. - Policy Applications: Case studies evaluating real-world reforms, such as the introduction of Working Tax Credits or changes to marginal tax rates. - Extension to Families: Analysis of how "joint" labour supply decisions are made within a household (e.g., how a husband's tax rate affects a wife's incentive to work). This book is a staple for public economists, treasury officials, and social researchers. It is highly regarded for its clarity in explaining the "black box" of microsimulation, making it accessible to those who need to understand the trade-offs between equity and efficiency in modern fiscal policy.
