Book excerpt: "We’ve all heard the news report. In fact, we’ve heard them for most of the past thirty years. Alarmingly and inexorably, the unthinkable has become a very real prospect. The nation that is Canada as we know it may not make it into the next decade. And we think that we no longer care. That, perhaps, it’s for the best. Or, at the very least, that there will be an end to this ceaseless wrangling and we can get on with our lives. This is a dangerous course. For what we wish for might just happen. In A Nation Too Good To Lose, former prime minister and senior statesman the Right Honourable Joe Clark argues eloquently and passionately that we are deluding ourselves if we think that the breakup of Canada will not have severe consequences for us all. The economy will be devastated. We will be marginalized and lose both our competitive edge and our standing on the world stage. We will not escape more constitutional negotiations, for how will we structure a Canada without Quebec? Mr. Clark contends that underlying the politics of frustration, there is, in fact, a widespread consensus among Canadians on what Canada should be and how a new kind of federalism could be shaped. And he warmly shares his personal experiences and views that have led him to this conclusion and to the fact that Canada can still be saved."--Page 4 of cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the Peabody Award–winning podcast, this tech-filled adventure series pits intrepid Mars Patel and his outcast friends against a brilliant, enigmatic billionaire as they race to figure out why kids are disappearing from their school. Mars Patel’s friend Aurora has disappeared! His teachers are clueless. His mom is stressed out about her jobs. But Mars refuses to give up—after all, his own dad disappeared when Mars was a toddler, before he and Ma moved to Puget Sound from India. Luckily, Mars has a group of loyal friends eager to help—smart Toothpick, strong and stylish JP, and maybe-telepathic Caddie. The clues seem to point toward eccentric tech genius (and Mars’s hero) Oliver Pruitt, whose popular podcast now seems to be commenting on their quest! But when the friends investigate Pruitt’s mysterious, elite school, nothing is as it seems—and anyone could be deceiving them. Slick science, corporate conspiracies, and an endearingly nerdy protagonist make this first book in the series a fresh, exciting sci-fi adventure.

Download or read book Heretic s Guide To Management written by Paul Culmsee and published by eBook Partnership. This book was released on 2016-07-07 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Management techniques such as strategic planning, project management or operational budgeting, aim to reduce ambiguity and provide clarity. So it is one of the great ironies of modern corporate life that these techniques often end up doing the opposite: increasing ambiguity rather than reducing it.It is easy enough to understand why: organizations are complex entities and it is unreasonable to expect management models, such as those that fit neatly into a 2*2 matrix or a predetermined checklist, to work in the real world. Indeed, expecting them to work as advertised is akin to colouring a paint-by-numbers Mona Lisa with the expectation of recreating Da Vinci's masterpiece. Ambiguity has not been tamed: reality will still impose itself no matter how alluring the model is.Unfortunately, most of us have a deep aversion to situations that involve even a hint of ambiguity. Recent research in neuroscience has revealed the reason for this: ambiguity is processed in the parts of the brain which regulate our emotional responses. As a result, many people associate ambiguity with feelings of anxiety. When kids feel anxious, they turn to transitional objects such as teddy bears or security blankets, providing them with a sense of stability when situations or events seem overwhelming. We contend that as grown-ups, we don't actually stop using teddy bears - they take a different form. Backed by research, we illustrate that management models, fads and frameworks are akin to teddy bears . They provide the same sense of comfort and certainty to corporate managers and minions as real teddies do to distressed kids. This is not a problem in many cases. Children usually outgrow their need for a teddy, unless if development is disrupted or arrested in some way. If this happens, the transitional object can become a fetish - an object that is held on to with a pathological intensity, simply for the comfort that it offers in the face of ambiguity. The corporate reliance on simplistic solutions for the complex challenges faced is akin to little Johnny believing that everything will be OK provided he clings on to Teddy.Ambiguity is a primal force that drives much of our behaviour. It is typically viewed negatively - something to be avoided or to be controlled. The truth however, is that it is a force that can be used in positive ways too. The Force that gave the Dark Side their power in the Star Wars movies was harnessed by the Jedi in positive ways. Similarly, this new management book shows how ambiguous situations, so common in the corporate world, are processed by the brain, and the behaviours that often arise as a consequence. More importantly, though, it shows you how to harness that ambiguity to achieve outstanding results.
