Böcker av David Pugh

In their book Winning Behavior, Terry Bacon and David Pugh showed how great companies outperform good ones through ''behavioral differentiation' The Behavioral Advantage broadens the concept, applying behavioral differentiation to the business-to-business arena.

Behavioral Differentiation is emerging as the ''final frontier'' in competitive strategy, and Winning Behavior shows how leading companies use it to exceed expectations and outperform competitors. It reveals the secrets the best companies use -- and any business can use -- to stay at the pinnacle of success in their industry.

Attitudes of nineteenth-century men toward women and heterosexuality are revealed as a web of sexual anxieties, repression, and sublimation that fostered the conviction that manliness could best be achieved through independence from women.

Understanding sea-level processes, such as ocean tides, storm surges, tsunamis, El Nino and rises caused by climate change, is key to planning effective coastal defence. Building on David Pugh's classic book Tides, Surges and Mean Sea-Level, this substantially expanded, full-colour book now incorporates major recent technological advances in the areas of satellite altimetry and other geodetic techniques (particularly GPS), tsunami science, measurement of mean sea level and analyses of extreme sea levels. The authors discuss how each surveying and measuring technique complements others in providing an understanding of present-day sea-level change and more reliable forecasts of future changes. Giving the how and the why of sea-level change on timescales from hours to centuries, this authoritative and exciting book is ideal for graduate students and researchers in oceanography, marine engineering, geodesy, marine geology, marine biology and climatology. It will also be of key interest to coastal engineers and governmental policy-makers.
