Making Room: Finding Space in Unexpected Places

2007 y.
Publisher: Taunton
Description: Most homeowners long for more space as well as space that better fits their needs. But building an addition is expensive, time-consuming, and disruptive to the household. What homeowners don`t realize is that just about every house has room to spare, much of it unrecognized. Making Room showcases creative ideas for areas that are underused or taken for granted--a broom closet, an empty wall, window bays, and corner nooks. Making Room focuses entirely on creating new spaces within the existing footprint of the home, and explores commonly overlooked spaces and scores of clever ideas for putting those spaces to use. More than 100 creative ideas highlight transformations that are small in scale but big in impact, such as a bathroom closest converted to a shower, drawers incorporated into a staircase, a bookcase built into the base of a staircase, and a computer niche tucked into a hallway. Making Room also provides practical design advice that inspires homeowners to adapt the ideas to… [detailed...]

Making Schools Work : A Revolutionary Plan to Get Your Children the Education They Need

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Introducing a bold, persuasive new argument into the national debate over education, Dr. William Ouchi describes a revolutionary approach to creating successful public schools. This program has produced significant, lasting improvements inthe school districts where it has already been implemented. Drawing on the results of a landmark study of 223 schools in six cities, a project that Ouchi supervised and that was funded in part by the National Science Foundation, Making Schools Work shows that a school`s educational performance may be most directly affected by how the school is managed. Ouchi`s 2001-2002 study examined innovative school systems in Edmonton (Canada), Seattle, and Houston, and compared them with the three largest traditional school systems: New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. Researchers discovered that the schools that consistently performed best also had the most decentralized management systems, in which autonomous principals -- not… [detailed...]

Description: `The attraction of balanced scorecards is to help translate strategy into the stories, business logic and tasks that grab people`s imaginations and so result in purposeful action. Yet, too often, it hasn`t worked that way. In a refreshingly honest and pragmatic way, the authors analyse both the successes and failures of companies using scorecards and present a practical approach for all top executives facing up to today`s challenge of providing a corporate purpose that will live in people`s minds.` LyndaGratton Associate Professor of Organisational Behaviour at London Business School and Dean of the full-time MBA Programme `Very well worth reading, re-reading and studying.

Making Sense of Evolution: Darwin, God, and the Drama of Life

2010 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Evolution makes good scientific sense. The question is whether it makes good theological sense as well. Christians who find evolution contrary to faith often do so because they focus solely on the issues of the world`s design and the notion of the gradual descent of all life from a common ancestry. But that point of view overlooks the significance of the dramatic narrative going on beneath the surface. What evolution is has become more important than what it means. Haught suggests that, rather than necessarily contradicting one another, theologians and Darwinian scientists actually share an appreciation of the underlying meaning and awe-inspiring mystery of evolution. He argues for a focus on evolution as an ongoing drama and suggests that we simply cannot--indeed need not--make complete sense of it until it has fully played out. Ultimately, when situated carefully within a biblical vision of the world as open to a God who makes all things new, evolution makes sense--scientifically… [detailed...]

Making Sense of Intellectual Capital : Designing a Method for the Valuation of Intangibles

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionPeter Drucker has introduced us all to the knowledge era, where knowledge is the primary resource and intangibles (intellectual capital resources and assets) are now largely recognized as the most important sources of organizations` competitive advantage. With the recognition of the importance of Intangibles comes the problem of how to properly identify them and assign them a value within the corporation. This is an area of concern in 5 fields: 1) accounting and financial reporting, 2) performance measurement and management, 3) valuation in the finance field, 4) the Human Resources field in terms of management, strategy, and planning, and 5) Intellectual Capital. Over the past eight years, over 25 methods have been proposed for the valuation of intangibles coming out of these 5 fields. In this book, Andriessen evaluates 25 existing methods of intangible valuation according to highly developed criteria. In performing his evaluations, Andriessen synthesizes the… [detailed...]

Making Sense of Japanese: What the Textbooks Don`t Tell You

2002 y.
Publisher: Kodansha
Description: Making Sense of Japanese is the fruit of one foolhardy American`s thirty-year struggle to learn and teach the Language of the Infinite. Previously known as Gone Fishin`, this book has brought Jay Rubin more feedback than any of his literary translations or scholarly tomes, `even if,` he says, `you discount the hate mail from spin-casters and the stray gill-netter.` To convey his conviction that `the Japanese language is not vague,` Rubin has dared to explain how some of the most challenging Japanese grammatical forms work in terms of everyday English. Reached recently at a recuperative center in the hills north of Kyoto, Rubin declared, `I`m still pretty sure that Japanese is not vague. Or at least, it`s not as vague as it used to be. Probably.` The notorious `subjectless sentence` of Japanese comes under close scrutiny in Part One. A sentence can`t be a sentence without a subject, so even in cases where the subject seems to be lost or hiding, the author provides the tools… [detailed...]

Making Sense of Penal Change (Clarendon Studies in Criminology)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book reviews the burgeoning literature on contemporary punishment and penal change, concentrating on the work of four scholars- David Garland, John Pratt, Hans Boutellier and Loic Wacquant. The book differs from classical reviews in that it places the scholars themselves, rather than the problem to be addressed, at the centre of the book. Daems argues that academics do not think and write in a vacuum, they carry a past with them and are influenced by new insights and theories, and constantly need to reposition themselves within their own field and their political environment. This book, then, is as much about the selected authors as the stories they bring. It includes four large chapters devoted to the work of each author, offering an expose of their work framed within the context of their lives. It offers a discussion of their central ideas and their distinctive approach towards questions of penal change and an analysis of the relationship between their roles as scholars in an… [detailed...]

Description: Business strategy is not rocket science. It`s about using pertinent information to make smart decisions, and doing it fast enough to keep your business ahead of the curve. And while many companies have embraced the 24/7 business paradigm, their strategies come from the 9-to-5 era.

Standing apart from the piles of discarded management wisdom, Making Sense of Strategy provides real, practical insights and advice for 21st-century businesses. Top strategy consultant Tony Manning cuts through layer after layer of `guru` babble to bring the reader only the most genuinely valuable information: the questions that need to be asked, the principles that every organization and its people must adopt, and the tools that every company needs in order to develop their core business strategies and create profit.

Find answers to the following important questions: How do I interpret this ECG? Are these abnormalities significant? How do I distinguish between VT and SVT?
