Inscribed by the author inside the front endpaper; inscription reads: To the people of CECOM---With all best wishes, and the hope that none of your projects ever sound like the one in here! Norm Augustine, 11/14/83. The Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM) is a Life Cycle Management Command (LCMC) of the United States Army based at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, United States. It is one of four such commands under the Army Materiel Command (AMC), and is the Army's provider and maintainer of Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) capabilities. Includes Preface; Chapter 1--Unbounded Enthusiasm; Chapter 2--Minor Oversights; Chapter 3--The Gathering Storm; Chapter 4--Impending Disaster; Chapter 5--Disaster; Chapter 6--Disaster Revisited; and Epilogue. This volume comprises the third printing of these laws, with the earlier, less complete versions having originally been referred to as "The Compleat Augustine's Laws." This may be one of the most important books ever written for the systems manager, because its contrapuntal humor brings into sharp focus all the long-standing myths, business clich traps for the unwary or naive, and knotty but (perhaps) resolvable complexities one would ever face during a career in management. This is an irreverent guide to traps, puzzles and quandries of the Defense business and other complex undertakings. Norman (Norm) Ralph Augustine (born July 27, 1935) is a U.S. aerospace businessman who served as United States Under Secretary of the Army from 1975 to 1977. Augustine served as chairman and CEO of the Lockheed Martin Corporation. He was chairman of the Review of United States Human Space Flight Plans Committee. In May 2009 Augustine was named as chairman of the Review of United States Human Space Flight Plans Committee, that was tasked to review NASA's plans for the Moon, Mars and beyond. In March 2011 Augustine agreed to serve as chair of the U.S. Antarctic Program Blue Ribbon Panel to assess U.S. activities in the South Pole. In July 2011, Augustine became a member of the United States Energy Security Council, which seeks to diminish oil's monopoly over the US transportation sector and is sponsored by the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security (IAGS). Augustine has been presented the National Medal of Technology by the President of the United States and received the Joint Chiefs of Staff Distinguished Public Service Award. He has five times received the Department of Defense's highest civilian decoration, the Distinguished Civilian Service Award. He is co-author of The Defense Revolution and Shakespeare In Charge and author of Augustine's Laws and Augustine's Travels. He was selected by Who's Who in America and the Library of Congress as one of "Fifty Great Americans" on the occasion of Who's Who's fiftieth anniversary. Derived from a Kirkus review: A deft appraisal of the organizational moon's dark side, where excellence is in short supply. An aerospace executive, Augustine focuses on the foibles of the military/industrial complex; his wry reminders of bureaucratic fallibility, though, are widely applicable to virtually any sector of business or government. Augustine expounds on his laws--52 in all--in conjunction with a running account of a dubious enterprise initially known as the Daedalus Model Airplane Co.; launched by a couple of young MBAs unable to find much room at the top, the firm lurches through a calamitous series of learning experiences and name changes, ending finally in bankruptcy. This narrative device affords Augustine ample opportunity to rip and snort his way across the commercial landscape, offering tart commentaries on all aspects of Corporate America's seemingly boundless capacity to blunder from start-up to finish. There are more than a few sitting ducks in his shooting gallery, e.g., the propensity of bankers to loan money only to those who don't need it, regulatory authorities' fondness for circumlocution, the likelihood that a company's profitability will be inversely proportional to the rewards reaped by its chieftains, and the ineffectuality of committees. More often than not, however, he's on target with such dicta as: "Although most products will soon be too costly to purchase, there will be a thriving market in the sale of books on how to fix them." A constant delight as well are Augustine's throwaway observations, including the intelligence that WW II was won in about half the time it now takes to develop a military weapons system. In the diverting tradition of Northcote Parkinson, Laurence Peter, and Robert Townsend; a nice bit of comic relief from guides that mistake management for leadership., American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc, 1982, 3, Fort Lauderdale, FL: Write Stuff Enterprises, Inc, 2009. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. Format is approximately 9.25 inches by 11.5 inches. 255, [1] pages. Illustrations (many in color). Text is in English and Portuguese.

From the early triumphs of pioneering aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, to the brand-new and revolutionary Phenom 100 and Phenom 300 executive jets, Brazil has always been at the forefront of aerospace technology. In 1969, the Brazilian government created Embraer, ensuring the country s continuing commitment to the field of aviation. Renowned for its innovative aircraft and dedication to customer service, Embraer has grown into a leader in the regional airline market, with popular models ranging from the ERJ 145 and EMBRAER 170/190 families to a growing portfolio of business aircraft. The company also introduced the world s first ethanol-powered aircraft manufactured in series: the EMB 202A Ipanema. After its privatization in 1994, Embraer experienced a sharp rise in growth, coming to enjoy a prominent position in the airline market, and aggressively entering the executive aviation market, while maintaining its historic military alliance with new models such as the KC-390 tanker and in-flight refueling jet. Discover the dramatic story of a company and a country that helped shape aviation's past, and guide its future, in The History of Embraer., Write Stuff Enterprises, Inc, 2009, 3<
