Publisher: —

So, if you enjoy taking chances and winning--and it`s a safe bet that you do--this book helps you do so in a more intelligent way. John Haigh is Reader in Mathematics at Sussex University, and his book covers a remarkably large number of topics.

If a soccer player gets a yellow card in 10 percent of games and is suspended for one game whenever he has accumulated two yellow cards, how often is he suspended?

Drawing from interviews in which women describe their journeys from diagnosis through treatment and recovery, Julia A.

Taking Nature into Account: A Report to the Club of Rome : Toward a Sustainable National Income

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Indicators used to direct economic policy (GDP, national income, etc.) are based on a number of factors-but nowhere in their calculations is there an acknowledgement of the degradation of natural resources. The numbers may not tell the whole story: continued deterioration of the environment is leading us closer to crisis. Meanwhile, policymakers and the public are basing decisions on dangerously incomplete information. In Taking Nature Into Account, a number of the world`s leading experts make the ethical, historical, economic, and ecological arguments for including environmental factors when measuring fiscal health. Initiated by the Club of Rome (an international group of influential businessmen, statesmen, and scientists), and written in cooperation with the World Wide Fund for Nature, this report reviews existing methodologies and makes recommendations for adjusting the way we think about and measure the economy. Taking Nature Into Account is urgent reading for officials,… [detailed...]

Description: Ninety percent of all sales people never bother to ask for the business. ThatA?s because most sales professionals are afraid of No. They fear questions, objections and rejections, and this kills more sales opportunities than any other single cause. By demonstrating how and when to properly ask for the business, Taking No For An Answer shows sales people how to increase earnings while helping their customers reach comfortable and informed buying decisions. There is no magic here. This is not an alternative to hard work or the willingness to ask, ask, ask. Taking No relies on fundamental counseling techniques, rather than hard sell gimmickryA?techniques which can contribute to success in everything we do. [detailed...]

Taking Philanthropy Seriously: Beyond Noble Intentions to Responsible Giving (Philanthropic and Nonprofit Studies)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Many acts of charitable giving fail in their stated goals and some are actually harmful. In Taking Philanthropy Seriously, the authors explain why this state of affairs exists. They outline solutions, ranging from those that equip philanthropists to do good work to those that build a domain of philanthropic knowledge, ethical codes, and best practices. Attention is also given to considering recipients` needs, frustrations, and hopes for support. Philanthropic leaders disclose instances of both good and compromised work, show how ethical concerns are secondary to `success` in philanthropy, and reveal strategies to promote effective and ethical conduct. Contributors are Lynn Barendsen, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, William Damon, Akash Deep, Peter Frumkin, Howard Gardner, Laura Horn, Carrie James, Leslie Lenkowsky, Paula Marshall, Jennifer Menon, Sarah Miles, Liza Hayes Percer, Rob Reich, Tanya Rose, Paul G.

Taking Shape: Finding Sculpture in the Decorative Arts

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: While some artworks are more readily labeled as `decorative arts` and others as `sculpture,` such objects can exchange and share features. Decorative objects intended for functional or ceremonial use can incorporate sculptural forms or assert a sculptural presence and, conversely, sculpture can perform decoratively, serving an ornamental program or purpose. Showcased in this book are thirty-eight extraordinary works of decorative art, furniture, and sculpture, that embody such sculptural inventiveness. Drawn from the collections of the J. Paul Getty Museum and the Temple Newsam House, Leeds, England, these pieces will be on exhibit from October 2, 2008, through January 4, 2009, at the Henry Moore Institute, Leeds, and from March 31, 2009, through July 5, 2009, at the J.

Description: The NBA is in trouble. And as NBA agent Keith Glass describes it–he`s part of the problem! If team owners are willing to throw millions of dollars his way for marginal players, why should he be the only one with the self–restraint to say `no?` In his insightful, funny, and often mind–numbingly bizarre tales of life in the NBA, Keith Glass lets it fly from half–court. He`ll tell you how we got to the present state–where an agent who makes millions off the game can`t sit through one, why our NBA stars couldn`t capture Olympic gold, why one of the greatest high school players he ever saw ended up in Attica prison instead of the NBA, why selfishness has attached itself to the league, and why the game he loves is in dire need of help. With informative chapters such as `How to Feed Your Family on Only $14 Million a Year,` `Eighty–one Feet of White Centers,` and `From 6`11` to the 7–Eleven,` Glass shatters the myth of NBA marketing: that… [detailed...]
