Arendt and America by Richard H. King Arendt and America by Richard H. King PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad German-Jewish political philosopher Hannah Arendt (1906–75) fled from the Nazis to New York in 1941, and during the next thirty years in America she wrote her best-known and most influential works, such as The Human Condition, The Origins of Totalitarianism, and On Revolution . Yet, despite the fact that a substantial portion of her oeuvre was written in America, not Europe, no one has directly considered the influence of America on her thought—until now. In Arendt and America , historian Richard H. King argues that while all of Arendt’s work was haunted by her experience of totalitarianism, it was only in her adopted homeland that she was able to formulate the idea of the modern republic as an alternative to totalitarian rule.   Situating Arendt within the context of U.S. intellectual, political, and social history, King reveals how Arendt developed a fascination with the political t...

Corrective Action for the Software Industry by Denise E. Robitaille, Johanna Rothman Corrective Action for the Software Industry by Denise E. Robitaille, Johanna Rothman PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad Many people are confused about corrective action. They know it’s a requirement for compliance to standards such as ISO 9001. In some cases, the mandate is imposed by customers or regulatory agencies.

For software organizations, the product is intangible, and the processes may be electronically defined, derived, and controlled. Corrective action and the manner in which it is implemented needs to be explained specifically for software, both in language and supporting documentation. This practical handbook ...
