It offers itself as an introduction to Postmodernism, but in reality it is much closer to a critique. In this Kindle edition there is no such help; and it will certainly be too difficult to follow for anyone who has only a sketchy knowledge of the period.This instalment of the diary (one-third of the total which began in 1880) opens with Kessler briefly being German ambassador in the new Poland before being expelled after just seven weeks under pressure from Polish nationalists.He returned to Berlin in time to witness over several days the growing militancy of the Spartacists, their rebellion and its bloody suppression by the Freikorps in January 1919. He then left town for his baseball career. The amount of work to port this over is huge.Finanally some decent projects come up. I originally saw a copy at a book trade show and was immediately enthralled with it. Thank goodness for the Advances in technology or we would be cringing even harder at the thought of how many more killers would stay free for decades, before being convicted.This is not an easy read, because of the reality of it. Hi! Shakespeare, here's a man doesn't know who chopped his head off.Of course, it will be helpful to be familiar with these pre-20th-century characters and their "issues," but most adults will understand most of the allusions and the others can be easily investigated on the internet. And now I have a secre

Farrell shows how social interactions create hits, both online and off. Better yet, he demonstrates how computer models are using the mathematics of complexity theory to help predict the hit or flop potential of new ideas, products, and services. And while Farrell makes it clear that hits cannot be manufactured on demand, he is able to provide good advice on tactics, which can swing the odds more in your favor. While the principles here apply to the entire world of business, they are particularly essential for those who wish to create an audience or customer base on the Internet, where the hit-creating (and preventing) forces seem to be particularly volatile. What makes the models so fascinating is that they behave as groups of individual consumers, running in simulated communities inside t

How does a movie like titanic captivate the public eye and break box office  records everywhere? Why is Tickle Me Elmo on every kid's Christmas list one year- and replaced by Ferbies the following year? Managers and marketing gurus have long struggled to predict why some new products are instant hits, and why others fail miserably.  Now, in this groundbreaking study, Winslow Farrell applies the science of complexity theory to modern business problems.  He reveals how actions of computer-generated "customers" that shop, go to movies, listen to music, and form cliques shed light on consumer behavoir in the natural world.  Motivated by the same factors as humans-product placement, popularity, advertising, or simple preferneces-their purchases are a powerful indicator of what's a hitor a flop.  As he reveals the findings of this incredible technology, Farell offers valuable lessons to managers in any real-life industry, and revolutionary, near perfect business model for predicting the next big thing.
