Fresh off a promotion and brand-new to Vietnam when he was unceremoniously given command of Bravo Company, the worst fighting unit in the 25th Battalion, Captain Robert Hemphill had to prove his courage and skill as a commander over the next five months--taking Bravo into an endless series of search and destroy missions, reacting to midnight mortar attacks and ambushed, and trying desperately to not only keep his men alive, but also keep sane in the madness of Vietnam. Then, just when Hemphill was getting the hand of it, the NVA unleashed their 1968 Tet offensive, and Bravo was plunged into the mos t horrific fighting of the war. From the days of immense boredom to electrifying, toe-to-toe battled with the NVA, this riveting account at last tells the real story of Platoon." - Publisher ; wine-red cloth with gold lettering, in color pictorial dustjacket ; crease on front ep ; slight wear to dustjacket ; triffle dusty ; G/VG.

Paperback. Condition: New. In the five years since the first edition of this book published, there has been an accelerated rise in the number and influence of COO roles in the legal sphere. No longer the preserve of the largest national and international firms, mid-tier firms and even New Law and alternative legal service providers are considering a COO as a potential - perhaps even essential - component of law firm management, to achieve increased efficiency, productivity, and meet the demands of a highly competitive market.With contributions from a number of current law firm COOs, alongside some of the most respected and sought-after consultants working in this space, this second edition of Rise of the Legal COO examines the scope and variety of the legal COO role, and how the challenges and demands of the position have altered as law firms have evolved. It contains updated chapters from the first edition, and several brand new chapters covering topics such as:How the COO can enable innovation and digital transformation in their firm;The COO's role in managing profitability and client engagement;The use of data in law firm management; andThe New Law COO.There are also all-new, exclusive interviews with legal COOs from a variety of national and international firms, covering topics ranging from the importance of relationships and adapting to the new hybrid, post-COVID world, to encouraging innovation in firms and strategies to recruit and retain talent.There is no doubt that a good COO is an invaluable part of a firm's management team, and the opportunities for talented individuals with broad operational management skills will continue to grow. Heavily backed up by the first-hand experience of the contributors, this title provides essential guidance to the current and future legal COO on the skills and strategies they need to succeed, and to law firms on how to recruit, integrate, and develop a COO who will be a good match for their culture and help them achieve their ambitions.

Rózsa Péter, Born Rózsa Politzer, (1905 - 1977) Was A Hungarian Mathematician And Logician. She Is Best Known As The "Founding Mother Of Recursion Theory". Initially, Péter Began Her Graduate Research On Number Theory. Upon Discovering That Her Results Had Already Been Proven By The Work Of Robert Carmichael And L. E. Dickson, She Abandoned Mathematics To Focus On Poetry. However, She Was Convinced To Return To Mathematics By Her Friend László Kalmár, Who Suggested She Research The Work Of Kurt Gödel On The Theory Of Incompleteness.[3] She Prepared Her Own, Different Proofs To Gödel's Work. Péter Presented The Results Of Her Paper On Recursive Theory, "Rekursive Funktionen," To The International Congress Of Mathematicians In Zurich, Switzerland In 1932. For Her Research, She Received Her Phd Summa Cum Laude In 1935. In 1936, She Presented A Paper Entitled "Über Rekursive Funktionen Der Zweiten Stufe" To The International Congress Of Mathematicians In Oslo.[3] These Papers Helped To Found The Modern Field Of Recursive Function Theory As A Separate Area Of Mathematical Research. In 1937, She Was Appointed As Contributing Editor Of The Journal Of Symbolic Logic. After The Passage Of The Jewish Laws Of 1939 In Hungary, Péter Was Forbidden To Teach Because Of Her Jewish Origin And Was Briefly Confined To A Ghetto In Budapest. During World War Ii, She Wrote Her Book Playing With Infinity: Mathematical Explorations And Excursions, A Work For Lay Readers On The Topics Of Number Theory And Logic. In 1952, She Was The First Hungarian Woman To Be Made An Academic Doctor Of Mathematics. After The College Closed In 1955, She Taught At Eötvös Loránd University Until Her Retirement In 1975. She Was A Popular Professor, Known As "Aunt Rózsa" To Her Students. In 1951, She Published Her Key Work, Recursive Functions (Rekursive Funtionen). She Continued To Publish Important Papers On Recursive Theory Throughout Her Life. Beginning In The Mid-1950S, Péter Applied Recursive Function Theory To Computers. Her Final Book, Published In 1976, Was Recursive Functions In Computer Theory. Originally Published In Hungarian, It Was The Second Hungarian Mathematical Book To Be Published In The Soviet Union Because Its Subject Matter Was Considered Indispensable To The Theory Of Computers. It Was Translated Into English In 1981.Péter Was Awarded The Kossuth Prize In 1951. She Received The Manó Beke Prize By The János Bolyai Mathematical Society In 1953, The Silver State Prize In 1970, And The Gold State Prize In 1973. In 1973, She Became The First Woman To Be Elected To The Hungarian Academy Of Sciences.
