Yet the advances in physics underlying these applications are poorly understood and widely underappreciated by U.S. citizens today. In this concise overview, David C. Cassidy sharpens our perspective on modern physics by viewing this foundational science through the lens of America's engagement with the political events of a tumultuous century. American physics first stirred in the 1890's-around the time x-rays and radioactivity were discovered in Germany-with the founding of graduate schools on the German model. Yet American research lagged behind the great European laboratories until highly effective domestic policies, together with the exodus of physicists from fascist countries, brought the nation into the first ranks of world research in the 1930's. The creation of the atomic bomb and radar during World War II ensured lavish government support for particle physics, along with computation, solid-state physics, and military communication. These advances facilitated space exploration and led to the global expansion of the Internet. Well into the 1960's, physicists bolstered the United States' international status, and the nation repaid the favor through massive outlays of federal, military, and philanthropic funding. But gradually America relinquished its postwar commitment to scientific leadership, and the nation found itself struggling to maintain a competitive edge in science education and research. Today, American physicists, relying primarily on industrial funding, must compete with smaller, scrappier nations intent on writing their own brief history of physics in the twenty-first century.New histories of science, technology, and medicine.PhysicsUnited StatesHistoryPhysicistsUnited StatesElectronic books.PhysicsHistory.Physicists530.0973/0904Cassidy David C.1945-539360MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457453003321A short history of physics in the American century2457246UNINA04832nam 22006255 450 991029819920332120200703163921.03-319-96044-X10.1007/978-3-319-96044-9(CKB)4100000006995905(MiAaPQ)EBC5529491(DE-He213)978-3-319-96044-9(PPN)230539351(EXLCZ)99410000000699590520180928d2018 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierDemystifying Leadership in Iceland An Inquiry into Cultural, Societal, and Entrepreneurial Uniqueness /by Inga Minelgaite, Svala Guðmundsdóttir, Árelía E.

Starting with an analysis of Iceland’s geographical location, historical development and societal culture, the authors critically examine the major elements of the Icelandic business environment from an individual to a global level, and from economic prosperity to financial collapse. They particularly focus on leadership and human resource management within this unique societal culture and discuss the specific issues that are unique to Iceland, i.e. entrepreneurship, gender egalitarianism, equality, low power-distance, reflecting on, and orienting within contemporary leadership theories. The book covers a variety of analytical methods and cases, providing a unique introduction to leadership in Iceland, and opening avenues for further research into this relatively new phenomenon.Contributions to Management Science,1431-1941LeadershipEntrepreneurshipInternational business enterprises—Cross-cultural studiesCulture—Economic aspectsBusiness Strategy/Leadershiphttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/515010Entrepreneurshiphttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/514000Cross-Cultural Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/525040Gender and Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W51010Leadership.Entrepreneurship.International business enterprises—Cross-cultural studies.Culture—Economic aspects.Business Strategy/Leadership.Entrepreneurship.Cross-Cultural Management.Gender and Economics.658.4092Minelgaite Ingaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1062792Guðmundsdóttir Svalaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autGuðmundsdóttir Árelía Eauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autStangej Olgaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910298199203321Demystifying Leadership in Iceland2528589UNINA
