Bøger af John Jensen

Endelig befriet. Lettelsen var enorm i Danmark i foråret 1945. Men det mentale overskud var ikke stort til at hjælpe de over 200.000 tyske flygtninge, der kom til landet i krigens sidste måneder – på flugt fra Den Røde Hær. Tilfældet ville, at de havnede i Danmark, hvor de måtte leve på danske værters nåde. Her drømte tyskerne igen om livet, men Danmark var netop blevet befriet fra en hadet besættelsesmagt. Derfor var flygtningene ikke populære, og de stødte på modstand fra både danskere og myndigheder. Humanitet var en by tæt på Den Røde Hær, indtil de sidste tyske flygtninge kunne rejse over grænsen i februar 1949. De lagde deres skæbner frem i breve og dagbøger, der fortæller en evigt aktuel historie i en global verden med store strømme af flygtninge.

John Faxe Jensen bragede sig ind i dansk fodboldhistorie med et kraftfuldt højrebensskud til 1-0 mod Tyskland i EM-finalen i 1992.  Men hans karriere bød på meget, meget mere end det.FAXE - DEN RAMTE JEG SGU LIGE I RØVEN er fortællingen om mere end 30 år i professionel fodbold: Ni danske mesterskaber med Brøndby IF og et overraskende mesterskab med Herfølge IF, Årets Spiller i Danmark i 1987, Årets Pokalfighter i 1998 og Årets Træner i 2000. Dertil kom hårde lærepenge i Bundesligaen for Hamburger SV, kultspiller, FA Cup- og Europa Cup-vinder i Arsenal, trænerduo med Michael Laudrup, ansvarlig for Vikarlandsholdet i 2018 - og selvfølgelig landsholdsspiller i 10 år for Danmark.Bogen er ren fodboldnostalgi og tager læseren med tilbage til en tid, hvor selv de professionelle spillere kunne drikke en øl efter kamp, hvor der var mere plads til sjov og spas end i dag - og hvor spillerne rejste sig og kæmpede videre efter en hård tackling.FAXE - DEN RAMTE JEG SGU LIGE I RØVEN er rigt illustreret med forord af Peter Schmeichel, interviews med bl.a. Michael Laudrup og Steve Bould - og en helt særlig hilsen fra forsvarslegenden Tony Adams.

We Need a Movement: Four problems to solve to restore rational government, by John Jensen, offers a strategy for substantial social change. Drawing on respected research into the demise of past civilizations, the book identifies two major barriers to a positive direction for the U.S. currently. One is the selfish use of power by an elite minority and the second is the prevalence and acceptance of mediocre thinking throughout society. The book recounts how these conditions have taken hold in American history through conscious decisions over many decades to mislead the public and install social, political, economic and class-based systems to benefit the wealthy; and through the pernicious influence of slavery that has turned into the racism experienced today. From many angles and in many forms, the social acceptance of mediocre thinking has paralyzed efforts for positive change and even threatened hard-won gains from prior years. To respond to this situation, the author asserts that efforts at social change 1) need to correct the entire system in the direction of the good of the whole, and generate conditions that enable all classes to prosper. This outcome 2) depends in turn on a large number of voters thinking sufficiently alike, which means affecting not only mainstream public opinion but also knowing how to sway individual voters. To mount an effort of this dimension, 3) those seeking change need to master an explanation about what has gone wrong and how to correct it that makes sense to any open-minded person, and 4) need to utilize organizational strategies that enable people to expand their understanding, increase their fluency and confidence in communicating ideas, and understand how to initiate effective group action. The author draws on extensive experience in group dynamics, social change, educational programming, sales, public speaking, and personal counseling to explain communication methods best suited for bringing about constructive change.

For one-semester courses in Introductory Remote Sensing as well as Introductory Airphoto Interpretation. This widely adopted book introduces the fundamentals of remote sensing from an earth resource (versus engineering) perspective. Emphasis is on turning remote sensing data into useful spatial biophysical or socio-economic information that can be used to make decisions.

Join little Skipper, a curious puppy in an orange life preserver, as she meets a galaxy of sea dogs from past and present. Inspired by the exhibit Sea Dogs! Great Tails of the Sea, at Mystic Seaport, What is a Sea Dog? combines poetry, history, and fun in a celebration of the many dogs who love the water

This book examines the aim of Common Core and how the structure of U.S. education has limited its potential; why many states, district administrators, teachers, and parents oppose it, and the changes that might help to set it back on track.

For junior/graduate-level courses in Remote Sensing in Geography, Geology, Forestry, and Biology. Introductory Digital Image Processing: A Remote Sensing Perspective focuses on digital image processing of aircraft- and satellite-derived, remotely sensed data for Earth resource management applications. Extensively illustrated, it explains how to extract biophysical information from remote sensor data for almost all multidisciplinary land-based environmental projects. Part of the Pearson Series Geographic Information Science. Now in full color, the Fourth Edition provides up-to-date information on analytical methods used to analyze digital remote sensing data. Each chapter contains a substantive reference list that can be used by students and scientists as a starting place for their digital image processing project or research. A new appendix provides sources of imagery and other geospatial information.
