Paperback. Condition: New. 1st. From the design of the first Cyclone 30 cyclotron to the global recognition of proton therapy, the narrative follows a path marked by breakthroughs, crises overcome, and strategic rebounds. It explores the technical, financial, and human challenges faced by an academic start-up that grew into an international player, balancing boldness with rigour, applied research with industrial performance. But IBA is more than a technological pioneer: it is a corporate citizen committed to advancing the common good. Its model is based on balancing the interests of stakeholders-patients, employees, customers, shareholders, communities, and the environment. Its mission - "to protect, enhance, and save lives" - is made tangible through the thousands of patients treated, the hundreds of accelerators installed worldwide, and a culture deeply rooted in trust, transparency, and long-term vision. Beyond machines and markets, IBA is a mindset: an attentive and daring organisation, faithful to its roots yet firmly focused on the future.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Ernest Solvay, philanthropist and organizer of the world-famous Solvay conferences on physics, discovered a profitable way of making soda ash in 1861. Together with a handful of associates, he laid the foundations of the Solvay company, which successfully branched out into other chemicals, plastics and pharmaceuticals. Since its emergence in 1863, Solvay has maintained world leadership in the production of soda ash. This is the first scholarly book on the history of the Solvay company, which was one of the earliest chemical multinationals and today is among the world's twenty largest chemical companies. It is also one of the largest companies in the field to preserve its family character. The authors analyze the company's 150-year history (1863-2013) from economic, political and social perspectives, showing the enormous impact geopolitical events had on the company and the recent consequences of global competition.…

Book is clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Untorn dust jacket shows gentle wear. -- This is the first scholarly history of the Solvay company, one of the world's earliest and most successful chemical multinationals. The book covers 150 years (1863-2013) of the firm's evolution from a family-run partnership into a global industrial leader. It details how Ernest Solvay patented a revolutionary process for making soda ash in 1863, which was cleaner and more cost-effective than the previous Leblanc process. The narrative tracks the company's expansion from soda ash into plastics, peroxides, and pharmaceuticals, including major milestones like the acquisition of Rhodia in 2011. The authors examine the firm's "calculated generosity," such as building housing, schools, and hospitals for workers in remote areas to ensure loyalty while simultaneously opposing labour unions.…
