extension wasn't needed for Bonferroni correction). It was actually first applied by

El Arte de la paz

Equilibrio, en lugar de conflicto, en El Arte de la Guerra de Sun-Tzu

Esta cuidada adaptación de "El arte de la guerra" presenta una perspectiva nueva (y absolutamente fiel al original) de este texto clásico de Sun-Tzu que cuenta con más de dos mil años de antigüedad. Dada la peculiar posibilidad de los dobles sentidos de la escritura china, "El arte de la guerra" podría haberse titulado también (y debiera haber sido) "El arte de la paz", ya que los conceptos de "guerra" y "paz" pueden coexistir en la escritura china en un único pictograma. Ésta es la tesis del autor, que no se deriva únicamente el idioma, sino también del Tao y de las artes marciales chinas y tibetanas. Su interpretación, absolutamente fresca y novedosa, sobrepasa la lógica textual de las muchas traducciones de "El arte de la guerra", al enfatizar lo que el autor considera que es la verdadera clave del texto original: el equilibrio en lugar del conflicto. De este modo, "El arte de la paz" presenta una nueva forma de encarar los conflictos; es un punto de partida en el viaje del descubrimiento de uno mismo que debe conducir, en último término, a ampliar nuestra consciencia y a una sociedad más pacífica y equilibrada. PHILIP DUNN recibió una educación inglesa tradicional hasta su adolescencia, que pasó en un monasterio budista tibetano. Inmerso en un modo de vida monástico, se educó en las artes del Chou-lyn bajo la atenta tutela de un maestro tibetano. A su vuelta a Europa, prosiguió su formación con un maestro chino en Londres, hasta convertirse él mismo en profesor. Pasó también varios años en India, donde conoció a los mayores maestros espirituales de nuestro tiempo. Esta vida de aprendizaje y comprensión de lo que él denomina "naturaleza enmascarada" aparece destilada en esta interpretación absolutamente original en "El arte de la guerra". Philip Dunn es autor de cuarenta libros y ha editado más de quinientos sobre diversos temas de ámbito espiritual. Ha impartido numerosas conferencias en Estados Unidos y en el Reino Unido sobre los principios de "El arte de la paz".

A Report of the Trial and Acquittal of Mary Hunter, for the Alleged Murder of Her Husband by Arsenic

With Arguments in Proof of Her Innocence and Strictures Upon Some Parts of the Medical Jurisprudence of this Country

She came again that day, between four and five, and brought another person
with her, whose name is Dunn. The person present is the same. She said she
had brought Mrs. Dunn as a witness. I asked if Mrs. Dunn knew what was wanted,
and she said yes; it was all right: it was for the arsenic. [Mr. Wilkins, had created
prejudice by saying, that she did not mention arsenic in Mrs. Dunn's presence.]
The prisoner asked how I sold it, and I told her. She said “let me have two ounces

Becoming Hewlett Packard

Why Strategic Leadership Matters

Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard invented the model of the Silicon Valley start-up and set in motion a process of corporate becoming that made it possible for HP to transform itself six times over the 77 years since its founding in the face of sweeping technological changes that felled most of its competitors over the years. Today, HP is in the throes of a seventh transformation to secure its continued survival by splitting in two independent companies: HP Inc. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Based on extensive primary research conducted over more than 15 years, this book documents the differential contribution of HP's successive CEOs in sustaining the company's integral process of becoming. It uses a comprehensive strategic leadership framework to examine and explain the role of the CEO: (1) defining and executing the key tasks of strategic leadership, and (2) developing four key elements of the company's strategic leadership capability. The study of the strategic leadership of HP's successive CEOs revealed the paradox of corporate becoming, the existential situation facing successive CEOs (that justifies the book's empathic approach), and the importance of the CEO's ability to harness the company's past while also driving its future. Building on these novel insights, the book shows how the frameworks used to conceptualize the tasks of strategic leadership and the development of strategic leadership capability can serve as steps toward a dynamic theory of strategic leadership that animates an evolutionary framework of corporate becoming. This framework will be helpful for further theory development about strategic leadership and also offers practical tools for founders of new companies and CEOs and boards of directors of existing companies who intend to create, run or oversee companies built for continued relevance, longevity and greatness.

investigation, code named “Project Kona” (for the location of Dunn's vacation
house), private investigators hired by HP or its agents called the telephone
service providers of people under investigation and falsely claimed to the service
representatives to be the person in question in order to gain access to telephone
records. This is a practice known as “pretexting.” The object was to see whether
any of the suspects had called reporters. When Hurd joined HP in April 2005

Capitol Men

The Epic Story of Reconstruction Through the Lives of the First Black Congressmen

Reconstruction was a time of idealism and sweeping change, as the victorious Union created citizenship rights for the freed slaves and granted the vote to black men. Sixteen black Southerners, elected to the U.S. Congress, arrived in Washington to advocate reforms such as public education, equal rights, land distribution, and the suppression of the Ku Klux Klan. But these men faced astounding odds. They were belittled as corrupt and inadequate by their white political opponents, who used legislative trickery, libel, bribery, and the brutal intimidation of their constituents to rob them of their base of support. Despite their status as congressmen, they were made to endure the worst humiliations of racial prejudice. And they have been largely forgotten—often neglected or maligned by standard histories of the period. In this beautifully written book, Philip Dray reclaims their story. Drawing on archival documents, contemporary news accounts, and congressional records, he shows how the efforts of black Americans revealed their political perceptiveness and readiness to serve as voters, citizens, and elected officials. We meet men like the war hero Robert Smalls of South Carolina (who had stolen a Confederate vessel and delivered it to the Union navy), Robert Brown Elliott (who bested the former vice president of the Confederacy in a stormy debate on the House floor), and the distinguished former slave Blanche K. Bruce (who was said to possess “the manners of a Chesterfield”). As Dray demonstrates, these men were eloquent, creative, and often effective representatives who, as support for Reconstruction faded, were undone by the forces of Southern reaction and Northern indifference. In a grand narrative that traces the promising yet tragic arc of Reconstruction, Dray follows these black representatives’ struggles, from the Emancipation Proclamation to the onset of Jim Crow, as they fought for social justice and helped realize the promise of a new nation.

Dunn slipped into unconsciousness, and Packard was summoned. Seeing his
friend's desperate situation, he called in another physician, Dr. Scott, who
declared that Dunn was suffering from congestion of the brain and lungs brought
about by excessive vomiting. Other leading physicians of New Orleans arrived,
including Dr. Warren Stone, a local medical pioneer, and Dr. Louis Roudanez, a
Paris- educated Creole physician, but they ventured no new diagnosis and ex-

The First Christians in Their Social Worlds

Social-scientific Approaches to New Testament Interpretation

First published in 1994. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.

Dunn's approach necessitates, moreover, that he gives Ioudaizein an unlikely
meaning. He wants this to mean Judaise in a lesser sense, so that Paul would be
merely attributing to Peter a wish to have the Gentiles adopt some less draconian
Jewish practices, in particular Pharisaical purity and tithing. As already noted,
however, a reader of the letter, at least one who regarded the Antiochean
passage as somehow related to the position in Galatia, would tend to assume
that this word ...
