Feedbacks: Manage dynamical systems in business, econony, biology and social sciences, using balancing and reinforcing loops. by Juan Martin Garcia (2 Reviews)    Price verified 19 minutes ago

Naturally, socio-economic and ecological systems are made up of hundreds of interconnected positive and negative loops and its ultimate behaviour isn't obvious. The concept of the loop is very useful because it enables us to start from the structure of the system that we are analysing and work towards its dynamic behaviour. If a system fluctuates persistently, remains in equilibrium or drops off rapidly, we can identify the structural reasons and decide how to go about modifying the causal loops that are going to influence it. This procedure can be applied to anything from the control of an industrial process to the monitoring of diabetes or cancer, fluctuations in the price of raw materials, or economic growth. Yet the most important use of this concept is in understanding how the structure of systems affects their behaviour. In the same market and in the same year, various firms that offer the same product present very different economic results. The less competent managers put ...

A Taste of Ecuador: The Collected Stories of Eugenia Viteri by Eugenia Viteri (4 Reviews)    Price verified 27 minutes ago

These heartwarming stories from Ecuador celebrate the humanity in us all. The motivations which lead me to write stories about my surroundings were rooted in a tremendously unequal and unjust society where many people could only dream of happiness and affection. My characters have lives that are as different as the disparate realities they face without any immediate opportunities to improve their conditions. Many of the poorest people were born into and grew up living in situations which they did not choose, yet they must take responsibility for them. For me, writing is a genuine act of love, an expression of solidarity, of comprehending the incomprehensible. I love everything I have written even the successes and the shortcomings, because I left pieces of my soul in all of it. I do not know the exact role of literature, but if it can help someone in the world grow as a human being, then it is worthwhile.

The Proverbs Life Is A Much Better Life by James Thomas Lee Jr (1 Review)    Price verified 36 minutes ago

The idea with this text is that the Proverbs life is a much better life. The reason for saying that is because it leads to either no unpleasant consequences or to very few unpleasant consequences. So this text is about improving a person's decision-making skills, about reducing the unpleasant consequences that result from bad decisions, and about showing that the Proverbs life produces a much better life. There is one main theme that is presented throughout. If people want to live a good life and experience very few unpleasant consequences, then they need to study the scriptures, internalize its truths, and live by its simple, clear principles. In support of that theme, the book of Proverbs is a good place to start. Next, there is a key passage that is presented throughout this text, too. John 8:31-32 says, "Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you ...

Summer, 1976: the legendary heatwave when Wings, The Starland Vocal Band, Elton John and Kiki Dee rules the airwaves. For over two baking months, Edinburgh sweats like a Presbyterian minister in a dockside whorehouse. As the mighty WHO once exclaimed: The Kids Are Alright; and, for a brief moment, they are. The dreich 'Athens of the North' has been transformed into an Iberian beach resort. Flesh sizzles, clothes are discarded, lager downed, and ice cream consumed by the lorry-load. Even Portobello Beach fleetingly resembles a place where you can actually visit and have fun in the sun (rather than pain in the rain). For a short while, it's glorious. But then the killing starts and Edinburgh rapidly becomes reacquainted with the harsher realities in life and, more particularly, death. First, one body. Then another. And another. All dumped on top of the city's ancient volcanic hills. The Summer of Joy has, in a heartbeat, morphed into a season of terror and death. And all this just at a ...
