Перед вами сборник небольших увлекательных рассказов об аквариумных животных. В течение нескольких десятилетий автор книги с неослабевающим энтузиазмом ухаживает и наблюдает у себя дома за представителями различных групп водных животных: это не только рыбы, но и моллюски, ракообразные и многие другие. Она на собственном опыте убедилась в сложности содержания некоторых из них, а также в том, что наблюдение и общение даже с маленькой улиткой или обычными рыбками гуппи могут доставить огромную радость и быть интересными для настоящего натуралиста.
Книга будет полезна тем, кто хотел бы завести одного из описанных питомцев, но хочет сначала познакомиться с ним поближе, узнать об особенностях его содержания, а также поведения, потому что некоторые из них могут негативно сказаться на других обитателях аквариума либо вызвать сложности у неопытного любителя.
Книга будет интересна и тем, кто не готов или не может завести дома аквариумных животных, но с удовольствием готов узнать о них.
Книга рассчитана на детей школьного возраста, а также на широкий круг читателей.

Almost 70% of mergers fail, yet deals are essential for growing world-class companies. Therefore they must use all the tools and techniques at their disposal to improve their chances of success. Applying the techniques advocated in this book can help managers beat the odds – and employees themselves – to have an impact on whether a deal will be successful both for the company and for themselves. This book looks at the process of a merger or acquisition and pinpoints the areas where business intelligence can raise the odds of success in each phase of the deal. Using techniques developed by governmental intelligence services and a wide range of recent case studies, quotations and anecdotes, the expert authors from the renowned Cass Business School show how to build success into any M&A situation. The first edition of Intelligent M&A was written in 2006 and published in 2007. This preceded the peak year (2007) of the last merger wave, including the excesses in a number of industries and deals (e.g., financial services with RBS’ dramatically failed acquisition of ABN AMRO as a key example), and the global economic downturn that led to a completely new way of operating for many industries and companies. Therefore, there is a need to update the book to incorporate not just more relevant and up-to-date case studies of deals but to show the ‘new’ way of operating in a post-Lehman environment. Chapters will be comprehensively re-written and populated with new and relevant case studies.

Be a more effective leader with strategic thinking Leading with Strategic Thinking reveals what effective leaders do differently. Eschewing the one-size-fits-all leadership model, this helpful guide outlines four general leadership types and demonstrates how each type achieves success – whether through personal vision, structured process, collaboration, or by empowering others. The authors identify the actions and skills that distinguish strategic leadership, drawn from interviews and focus groups with over three hundred leaders from around the world. Examples and case studies illustrate these concepts in action, and the provided reference materials steer readers toward more advanced information on this important topic. The disruptive forces of technology and globalization raise new challenges for leaders. This book is a manual that will help executives and aspiring leaders harness these forces and address the two central questions of strategic leadership: How do the best leaders develop their strategy? How do effective leaders drive strategic change? Becoming a strategic leader isn’t about mimicking an icon. The most effective leaders seize opportunity in a way that consciously integrates environmental requirements, stakeholder expectations, and personal ability. Leading with Strategic Thinking shows what these leaders do, and gives anyone the tools to be a more strategic leader.
