Dresier had literary hopes and he was soon working as a journalist for the Chicago Globe newspaper and then moved to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. He wrote several well-regarded articles on writers such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, William Dean Howells, Israel Zangwill, John Burroughs, and also interviewed many highly renowned public figures such as Andrew Carnegie, Marshall Field, Thomas Edison, and Theodore Thomas. After marrying Sara Osborne White in December 1898, the Dresiers stayed with Arthur Henry and his wife in Toledo, Ohio. There Dreiser began work on his first novel, Sister Carrie, published in 1900. It's controversial themes perhaps explain why, at the time, it sold poorly. Since then, over the ensuing decades, it has become highly-regarded and been called the greatest of all American urban novels. Dreiser's first commercial success was An American Tragedy, published in 1925. Its gestation had started way back in 1892, when Dreiser first began work as a newspaperman, he had begun to observe a certain type of crime in the United States that proved very common. It seemed to spring from the fact that almost every young person was possessed of an ingrown ambition to be somebody financially and socially. Fortune hunting became a disease. Over the years Dresier had become more politically and socially active. Certainly, in matters of religion he had now become an atheist. He often engaged in fighting against censorship, especially as his books did not reflect the current social mores. Dreiser was a committed socialist and wrote several nonfiction books on political issues. These included Dreiser Looks at Russia (1928), the result of his 1927 trip to the Soviet Union. After the Second World War Dreiser joined the Communist Party USA in August 1945. Although less politically radical friends, such as H. L. Mencken, spoke of Dreiser's relationship with communism as an unimportant detail in his life, these seems at variance with his actual activities. Theodore Herman Albert Dreiser died on December 28, 1945, in Hollywood, California, of heart failure, at the age of 74.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49706441310481,"sku":"DVDB004CNK59CVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53421071466769,"sku":"CINB004IJFE0UG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":53423933292817,"sku":"CINB004CNK59CA","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B004CNK59C.jpg?v=1750841112"},{"product_id":"yiddish-revolutionaries-in-migration-book-frank-wolff-9781642596069","title":"Yiddish Revolutionaries in Migration","description":"A remarkable historical account of the lives and activities of members of the General Jewish Labour Bund, spanning decades and continents.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49741334741265,"sku":"NGR9781642596069","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51042717368593,"sku":"NIN9781642596069","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52336586752273,"sku":"NLS9781642596069","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52422412435729,"sku":"GOR012229805","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53622282322193,"sku":"CIN164259606XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/164259606X.jpg?v=1751421138"},{"product_id":"okonomie-multiperspektivischer-unternehmensmodellierung-book-frank-wolff-9783834911391","title":"Ökonomie multiperspektivischer Unternehmensmodellierung","description":"Die Unternehmensmodellierung ist ein zentrales Forschungsthema der Wirtschaftsinformatik. Die Forschung ist dabei vor allem auf den Entwurf einschl giger Modellierungssprachen und -methoden sowie begleitender Integrationsrahmen und Referenzmodelle gerichtet. Dabei wird i. d. R. vereinfachend davon ausgegangen, dass Unternehmensmodelle einen signifikanten wirtschaftlichen Vorteil versprechen, der den mit ihrer Erstellung und Pflege verbundenen Aufwand rechtfertigt. Diese Annahme ist allerdings aus wissenschaftlicher Sicht nicht  berzeugend: Die Erstellung differenzierter Unternehmensmodelle kann mit erheblichem Aufwand verbunden sein, der gewiss nicht immer durch den erzielten Nutzen kompensiert wird. In der Praxis ist eine  berzeugende Analyse der Wirtschaftlichkeit der Unternehme- modellierung von grundlegender Bedeutung. Gr  ere Investitionen in die Modellierung d rften in den meisten Unternehmen nachvollziehbare Sch tzungen von Kosten und Nutzen voraussetzen. Dar ber hinaus ist die Wirtschaftlichkeit der Unternehmensmodellierung auch ex post ? also nach der Erstellung von Modellen ? ein bedeutsames Thema f r das Controlling. Es kann deshalb vermutet werden, dass die Vernachl ssigung einschl giger Ans tze zur Wirtschaftlichkeitsberechnung die Verbreitung von Ans tzen der Unternehme- modellierung in der Praxis behindert hat. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist das Werk von Frank Wolff auf zwei Ziele gerichtet. Einerseits untersucht es die Faktoren, die die Wirtschaftlichkeit der Unternehmensmodellierung bee- flussen. Andererseits wird eine Methode entwickelt, die die Bewertung der Wirtschaftlichkeit der Unternehmensmodellierung f r ein einzelnes interessiertes Unternehmen unterst tzt. Dabei schl gt Herr Wolff mit seiner Arbeit die Br cke zwischen Theorie und Praxis.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53522070241553,"sku":"NLS9783834911391","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783834911391.jpg?v=1778456795"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-frank-wolff.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
