George S. Patton Jr. är en av de mest framstående amerikanska befälhavarna genom tiderna. Han inledde sin karriär i kavalleriet och spelade en hyllad men föga betydelsefull roll under straffexpeditionen mot Pancho Villa i Mexiko 1916. Under första världskriget utbildade och ledde Patton ameri­kanska arméns första stridsvagnsbataljoner. Mest känd för oss i Europa är han utan tvekan som pansargeneral under slutskedet av andra världskriget. Mindre känt är kanske att Patton ledde den västra stridsgruppen under den allierade landstigningen i franska Nordafrika och att han med diplomati lyckades få över den Vichyfranska armén på den allierade sidan. Patton stred i Nordafrika, Italien och inte minst i Frankrike, efter D-dagen och ändå till slutet av kriget. Detta och mycket mer kan du läsa om i den här boken. Författaren Steven J. Zaloga, är en mycket välkänd och uppskattad militärhistorisk författare. Översättningen har gjorts av en av Sveriges kunnigaste militärhistoriska översättare, Mikae...

Most startups fail. But many of those failures are preventable. The Lean Startup is a new approach being adopted across the globe, changing the way companies are built and new products are launched. Eric Ries defines a startup as an organization dedicated to creating something new under conditions of extreme uncertainty. This is just as true for one person in a garage or a group of seasoned professionals in a Fortune 500 boardroom. What they have in common is a mission to penetrate that fog of uncertainty to discover a successful path to a sustainable business. The Lean Startup approach fosters companies that are both more capital efficient and that leverage human creativity more effectively. Inspired by lessons from lean manufacturing, it relies on "validated learning," rapid scientific experimentation, as well as a number of counter-intuitive practices that shorten product development cycles, measure actual progress without resorting to vanity metrics, and learn what custom...

The classic pulps were detective stories, horror, fantasy, and science fiction, but in the midst of this melange developed a significant subcategory of lurid, titillating tales of lesbian love. Aimed primarily at a heterosexual audience they offered readers a glimpse into a secret world of illicit passion and scandalous sex between delicious and devilish dames. This book is the first to be devoted to the cover art of these wildly wicked novels. Bold, kitschy, colourful, they are fraught with sexual tension. Includes 200 full colour illustrations.
