2005réf. 89919New York: Times Books/Henry Holt and Company 2005. First U.S. Edition Stated First Printing Stated. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. Johanna Wee Author photograph. 12 369 3 pages. Map. Notes. Index. Inscribed by the author on the half-title page. The inscription reads To Haleh and Shaul With warm best wishes Larry. Larry Jay Diamond born October 2 1951 is an American political sociologist and scholar in the field of democracy studies. Diamond is a senior fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies Stanford University's main center for research on international issues. At the Institute Diamond served as the director of the Center on Democracy Development and the Rule of Law from 2009 to 2016. Diamond has served as an advisor to numerous governmental and international organizations at various points in his life including the United States Department of State United Nations World Bank and U.S. Agency for International Development. He is a founding co-editor of the National Endowment for Democracy's Journal of Democracy stepping down from that role in fall 2022. As of August 2023 he co-chairs Hoover's China Global Sharp Power Project with Glenn Tiffert and Taiwan in the Indo-Pacific Region Project with James O. Ellis. Diamond was founding co-director of the National Endowment for Democracy's International Forum for Democratic Studies 1994–2009. He was the dissertation adviser for Regina Ip former Secretary for Security of Hong Kong during her years at Stanford. In 2022 Diamond joined Yermak-McFaul Expert Group on Russian Sanctions as an expert to work on elaborating and imposing international sanctions against Russia which invaded Ukraine. America's leading expert on democracy delivers the first insider's account of the U.S. occupation of Iraq-a sobering and critical assessment of America's effort to implant democracy. In the fall of 2003 Stanford professor Larry Diamond received a call from Condoleezza Rice asking if he would spend several months in Baghdad as an adviser to the the American occupation authorities. Diamond had not been a supporter of the war in Iraq but he felt that the task of building a viable democracy was a worthy goal now that Saddam Hussein's regime had been overthrown. He also thought he could do some good by putting his academic expertise to work in the real world. So in January 2004 he went to Iraq and the next three months proved to be more of an education than he bargained for. Diamond found himself part of one of the most audacious undertakings of our time. In Squandered Victory he shows how the American effort to establish democracy in Iraq was hampered not only by insurgents and terrorists but also by a long chain of miscalculations missed opportunities and acts of ideological blindness that helped assure that the transition to independence would be neither peaceful nor entirely democratic. He brings us inside the Green Zone into a world where ideals were often trumped by power politics and where U.S. officials routinely issued edicts that later had to be squared at great cost with Iraqi realities. His provocative and vivid account makes clear that Iraq-and by extension the United States-will spend many years climbing its way out of the hole that was dug during the fourteen months of the American occupation.

2001réf. 81843London: TEXERE 2001. First Printing Stated. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. xxii 262 4 pages. Index. Inscribed to Betty by Linus Torvalds on 24.8.2001 on the half title page. Includes note as to how the autograph was obtained in Helsinki. Includes Introduction Acknowledgments Preface and Index. Topics include Birth of a Nerd; Birth of an Operating System; King of the Ball; and Index. Linus Torvalds never intentionally sought fame and fortune yet fame and fortune found him when he radically changed the world of technology for one selfish reason--He did it just for fun. Part autobiography and part business philosophy Just for Fun brims with biographical detail about the radical spirit and creativity of Linus Torvalds. It offers a unique glimpse into the mind of an accidental revolutionary and how the altruistic creation of LINUX flourished so successfully in the open source movement. Linus Benedict Torvalds born 28 December 1969 is a Finnish-American software engineer who is the creator and historically the principal developer of the Linux kernel used by Linux distributions and other operating systems such as Android and Chrome OS. He also created the distributed revision control system Git and the scuba dive logging and planning software Subsurface. He was honored along with Shinya Yamanaka with the 2012 Millennium Technology Prize by the Technology Academy Finland "in recognition of his creation of a new open source operating system for computers leading to the widely used Linux kernel." He is also the recipient of the 2014 IEEE Computer Society Computer Pioneer Award. David Diamond is an American journalist known for his work at New York Times. "I was a nerd. Geek. From fairly early on. I didn't duct-tape my glasses together but I might as well have because I had all the other traits. Good at math good at physics and with no social graces whatsoever. And this was before being a nerd was considered to be a good thing." In this witty and engrossing narrative Linus Torvalds the brilliant mastermind behind the latest Internet revolution in collaboration with writer David Diamond chronicles his transformation from a pale skinny Helsinki college kid to an international folk hero. What began as a childhood hobby soon became the astonishing phenomenon known as the LINUX operating system. LINUX was created because Linus was curious to see if he could improve upon the operating systems already out there such as UNIX. How could he create a system that could run all of his favorite software with fewer crashes and faster productivity Linus posted his early versions of LINUX on the Internet and called upon the most brilliant minds in computer science to enhance his system. What happened next took the world by storm. Linus wasn't the first to use the power of the open source movement but the excitement he generated when he offered his system to the world was unprecedented. What made LINUX revolutionary was its journey to become the marvel it is today -- and how the system grew from the meeting of thousands of minds around the world. Suddenly Linus's creation was available for everyone to use for free! Anyone could improve LINUX at whim. No monopolies no trade secrets no whispering behind closed doors. LINUX wasn't controlled by a select few -- this remarkable creation was accessible to absolutely anyone -- and still is. The LINUX system is still constantly evolving and improving every day a decade after its inception. Linus describes the history of LINUX in graspable terms and details how the system itself works without lapsing into mindboggling technical jargon. For general readers Torvalds spins a witty tale of his fascinating life. Here is the story of a young man who as a still-rising star keeps his feet on the ground through a combination of self-deprecating humor and the realization that life is simply about having a good time. Linus's narrative teems with clever anecdotes and his captivating opinions on the future of competition in the computer world. Linus even reveals his own take on the meaning of life. For techies this is a candid glimpse at the life of this honored yet unintentional hero. Linus offers a compelling look at how he sees the road ahead for LINUX and the computer industry. He also divulges how LINUX began as a small spark and spread like wildfire across the world. TEXERE hardcover

1973réf. 608838Bryn Mawr Pennsylvania: Elkan - Vogel 1973. Softcover. Near Fine. First edition. Quarto. Single bifolium making four pages. Some very light age toning and a small unintelligible stamp on the back cover else near fine. For voice and piano. Plate number 161-00063. We've handled a copy with a publisher's stamp we assume it must be the publisher's canceling the word "lips" and replacing it with "eyes" as it is printed in the original poem. This copy has no such stamp. The line now reads as "I am Rose/my lips are blue." A curious error that completely shifts the mood of the poem. Elkan - Vogel unknown
