Checklist Manifesto
ISBN: 9783565256891 / Angielski / Miękka / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. In a world of extreme complexity, where surgeons have to master thousands of procedures and pilots fly jets with millions of parts, we often think the solution to errors is more training or better technology. But the most powerful tool in the expert's arsenal is also the simplest: a checklist.Based on the groundbreaking work of surgeon Atul Gawande, this book explores why highly skilled professionals fail. It's not usually ignorance (not knowing what to do), but ineptitude (not applying what we know correctly). The human brain is flawed; under pressure, we skip steps and forget basics. A...

For over a decade in the 1990s and early 2000s, the McDonald's Monopoly promotion was a cultural phenomenon.

The game was rigged from the very beginning. "The Golden Ticket" tells the incredible true story of Jerome "Uncle Jerry" Jacobson, an ex-police officer turned security auditor who was entrusted with transporting the high-value game pieces.Instead of delivering them, he built a massive criminal...

ISBN: 9783565273966 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. In 1835, the states of Ohio and Michigan mobilized heavily armed militias, marched them to their shared border, and prepared to engage in a bloody civil war. The prize they were willing to kill for? A 468-square-mile strip of swampy land near the mouth of the Maumee River. This absurd standoff, born entirely from a terrible cartographical error, paralyzed the federal government and delayed Michigan's statehood.How did a simple mapping mistake nearly spark a war between neighbors? When the original borders of the Northwest Territory were drawn, surveyors relied on flawed maps that misplaced...

Destructive Expectations
ISBN: 9783565268634 / Angielski / Miękka / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. We often hear about the power of positive expectations, but the dark inverse of this psychological rule remains largely ignored in corporate culture. The Golem effect dictates that low expectations placed upon an individual will inevitably lead to a devastating decrease in their actual performance.This book uncovers the silent destruction happening inside classrooms, boardrooms, and relationships. When managers or teachers subconsciously signal that they expect failure or mediocrity, the target's cognitive performance actively shrinks to meet that baseline. It is a self-fulfilling prophecy...

The Ozarks: An American Survival of Primitive Society
ISBN: 9781682260265 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Vance Randolph was perfectly constituted for his role as the chronicler of Ozark folkways. As a self-described hack writer, he was as much a figure of the margins as his chosen subjects, even as his essentially romantic identification with the region he first visited as the vacationing child of mainstream parents was encouraged by editors and tempered by his scientific training. In The Ozarks, originally published in 1931, we have Randolph s first book-length portrait of the people he would spend the next half-century studying. The full range of Randolph s interests in language, in...

History of American Grapes Domestication and Wine-Making
ISBN: 9782366593648 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 110 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. "There are about forty species of grapes in the world, more than half of which are found in North America. A statement of the difference between European and American grapes shows why American viticulturists are so eager to grow either purebreds from the foreign grape or hybrids with it... The methods of the past in domesticating the native grapes have been wholly empirical and extremely wasteful. Many have been called, but few chosen. But with the knowledge of breeding and with the experience of the past, domestication ought to proceed with greater certainty..." This book presents the...
