"On June 28th 1976, 157 women stepped into the all-male bastion of the United States Air Force Academy, challenging the slogan over the entrance ramp that read "Bring Me Men." In an ironic twist, the slogan had instead brought women who inspired an upheaval of change in this tradition-bound military school. These determined women were part of a hidden chapter of America's history. Their journey was one of survival in a male-dominated environment, where they struggled to find balance on a seesaw of ingrained gender discrimination and undesired special privileges. This work tells the story of the first female cadets in the United States Air Force Academy, and their fight to make a permanent place for themselves within the cadet wing. Chapters explore their struggle to be accepted, the difficulties of the training environment, the camaraderie and conflict with men and the hardships and joys of those who marched in the ranks of that first co-ed class."--

In personnel economics, the choice of a leadership style is about the question of how a supervisor should lead his or her employees in such a way that operational goals are achieved. In this paper, we assume that such leadership decisions are made according to the situation. Thus, the optimal or at least a permissible leadership style has to be selected from a set of several possible leadership styles. For this choice a wide range of models has been developed in the scientific literature, from which we want to pick out and focus on the so-called normative decision model by Vroom & Yetton (Vroom/Yetton 1973). While the original model is based on univocal rules, in this paper we develop a fuzzy rule system.

This book is the first installment of a trilogy that explores the spatial dimensions of music. Music has generated substantial interest among geographers, but other academic disciplines have also developed related spatial perspectives on music. This trilogy brings together multiple approaches, each book investigating a bundle of interrelated themes. New Geographies of Music 1: Urban Policies, Live Music, and Careers in a Changing Industry starts with an introduction that explores contemporary approaches to the study of popular music. The following chapters address a range of issues, including the role of live music in urban development, how knowledge about local music ecosystems circulates among cities, urban networks of music production, how musical practices in local scenes are affected by core-periphery relations, and how musicians rely on touring in order to earn a living. This is a must-read for anyone interested in the relationship between space and music

Chaque COP, on le sait, se termine par un accord sur le climat ou la biodiversité dont on se félicite. Quelque temps après, force est pourtant de constater que la feuille de route n'est pas respectée. L'impossibilité de tenir ses engagements aurait-elle pour origine l'absence de moyens proposés ? Qui pense moyens, pense argent. Néanmoins, l'argent seul ne suffit pas : il convient dans le même temps d'organiser différemment l'activité économique. De nombreuses questions se posent alors, tant du ressort de l'économique que des systèmes social et politique. Pour répondre à ces interrogations, les seules " recettes " des politiques économiques classiques ne suffisent pas. Il nous faut être inventifs, redéfinir les tâches qui incombent à l'État et aux entreprises, afin de répondre aux injonctions paradoxales que la Terre nous impose. Sans oublier la lancinante question de la décroissance
