Albert Anderson

Invoking a variety of classical and contemporary models, Albert Anderson examines what it means to think and act ethically. Proceeding from the views of Immanuel Kant and John Stuart Mill - who created perhaps the two most influential, albeit competing, ethical frameworks - Anderson poses the choice between what we understand to be our moral duty and what will likely result in the greatest good for the majority. He applies these notions to a wide range of situations familiar to nonprofit development officers, volunteers, and organizations. His goal is to help readers rethink decision-making and the principles that guide their decisions. To clarify and test these principles, Anderson presents a hypothetical case and concludes with a program for developing and refining (through experience) a code of ethics for the organization.

This book examines logistics systems in an integrated way. Its goal is to describe and show how to find rational structures for logistics systems considering all the relevant aspects. Building on an understanding of the simplest logistical system with only one origin and one destination, the book treats problems with many origins and one destination, many destinations and one origin, and many origins and many destinations; this is done for systems with and without transshipments. The solutions and methodologies presented in the book are particularly helpful in instances where detailed data are not available and when time is of the essence.

Siegfried Kracauer

**Die Angestellten** (Untertitel: *Aus dem neuesten Deutschland*) ist ein Buch von Siegfried Kracauer aus dem Jahr 1930. Es wurde in viele Sprachen übersetzt und zählt zu den klassischen Schriften der Soziologie, obwohl es von der Fachwissenschaft weniger rezipiert wurde als von der nichtsoziologischen Öffentlichkeit. Kracauer schildert im Buch die von den Betroffenen unbemerkte Proletarisierung und die ideologische „Obdachlosigkeit“ der Angestellten. (Quelle: Wikipedia)
