2 reviews
Ruth Soffer

Dover Publications, 2007

Good for any age...
This coloring book was purchased for my 6 year old granddaughter who also picked it out. She loves it and the pictures aren't too hard, yet hard enough for grandma to want to color, too. It's fun and educational.

Decision Traps: The Ten Barriers to Decision-Making and How to Overcome Them

11 reviews
Edward Russo

Fireside, 1990

Too much belief in personal judgment
Most decisionmakers make the same kinds of error. There needs to be a frame for each problem. There should be avoidance of plunging in and relying too heavily on supposed good judgment. Drawing boundaries are part of framing the questions. Managers are apt to draw narrow boundaries. Sometimes there is a failure to draw a boundary line. There is the sunken cost fallacy, basing current ...

How to Break Growth Barriers: Capturing Overlooked Opportunities for Church Growth

3 reviews
Carl F. George, Warren Bird

Baker Books, 1993

Strong Theology and Biblical Leadership Development
This practical book describes one of the best ways to provide a system of nurture, discipleship and care for church members in the shortest amount of time, and with the greatest number of resources. As described by George, "Shepherds" care individually for the flock, and those type of leaders are spread too thin and burn out quickly. Instead, George suggests becoming "Ranchers" who delegate and ...

Lee Mylne

Frommers, 2007

Australia's Great Barrier Reef is the only living structure on Earth visible from the moon; at 348,700 square kilometers (238,899 square miles), it's bigger than the United Kingdom. It stretches over 2,000 kilometers (1,250 miles) and is home to some 1,500 kinds of fish, 400 species of corals, 4,000 kinds of clams and snails, and who knows how many sponges, worms, starfish, and sea urchins.

You Can't Be President: The Outrageous Barriers to Democracy in America

2 reviews
John R. MacArthur

Melville House, 2008

Thoroughly Entertaining and Insightful
Everyone hears it as a kid, that they can be anything they want when they grow up; be it cowboy, astronaut, dinosaur, or, of course, President of the United States. John R. MacArthur's fascinating new book You Can't Be President reveals that unless you're part of an extremely select minority all of those career paths are about equally as viable. I don't necessarily read a lot of political books ...

Barriers And Accident Prevention
Erik Hollnagel

Ashgate Publishing, 2004

Accidents are preventable, but only if they are correctly described and understood. Since the mid-1980s accidents have come to be seen as the consequence of complex interactions rather than simple threads of causes and effects. Yet progress in accident models has not been matched by advances in methods. The author's work in several fields (aviation, power production, traffic safety, healthcare) made it clear that there is a practical need for ...

The Last Barrier: A Journey into the Essence of Sufi Teachings

Reshad Feild

Lindisfarne Books, 2002

Extraordinary Conversations
Finding this book in print is like finding an insider's multi-million dollar stock tip in the pages of the Wall Street Journal, or an original Rembrandt etching at a yard sale. Such things aren't supposed to happen. But when they do, the finder is perversely negligent not to take advantage of them. We all know that the way to learn an art or a skill is to apprentice to a master, and this ...

H. P. Willmott

Naval Institute Press, 2008

Period where the Pacific War was won....
The Barrier and the Javelin proves to be well written and well researched book which centered around Japanese and Allied strategies that led up the stalement battle at Coral Sea and total American victory at Midway. The book revealed that Japanese naval forces, despite of all its abilities, superior ships and planes and its highly trained crew, could not defeat its outnumbered enemies due to poor ...

Barriers to Riches (Walras-Pareto Lectures)

3 reviews
Stephen L. Parente, Edward C. Prescott

The MIT Press, 2002

Debug the Myths of Poor Countries
Parente and Prescott use simple language to explain the cause of the large income difference between developing countries and developed countries. In daily medias like TV and propaganda, the difference is attributed to exploitation of the rich countries on poor countries. Also these exploitation will capture the little accumulated capital in poor countries that is the fuel of their economics ...

Myth of the 200 Barrier: How to Lead Through Transitional Growth

2 reviews
Kevin E. Martin

Abingdon Press, 2005

How to Think Like a Leader
I would subtitle this book, "How to Think Like a Leader." Written in a very readable style, Kevin Martin invites the reader into the thought processes of a pastor leading a church in the 75-225 average Sunday attendance range. Acknowledging that one size does not fit all in terms of churches as well as leaders, this book shows that different pastoral leaders do, indeed, have different gifts, ...

Resistance: Moving Beyond the Barriers to Change

3 reviews
Price Pritchett

Pritchett Publishing Company, 2007

A blueprint for "the new economy"
Pritchett puts forth a masterful thesis: When plants close, companies merge, & products go off the market, it's not "foreigners" or "the government" to blame. It's **us**. **We** as consumers are the ones driving the (incredibly quickly) changing market because **we**, as a group, are out for one thing -- the best deal. That's why today we have Federal Express and not the Pony Express, and ...
