Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Today, as individuals and as a society, we are faced with highly complex challenges. When we don't solve them correctly they rapidly become crises. This book explains how we can use complex systems research to solve complex problems in: * healthcare * education * military conflict * ethnic violence and terrorism * international development. Highly complex problems cannot be solved by any one individual. Traditional organizations, traditional forms of control and planning are not effective. Making Things Work draws on insights from complex systems research about emergence, complexity, patterns, networks and evolution. It explains how effective organizations form through cooperation and competition, and how to make non-hierarchical distributed organizational structures effective at their tasks. The science of complexity has revolutionized our understanding of everything from the brain to the economy to the weather. This book shows how it can change the way we approach our most persistent social problems, introducing key concepts like emergence, self-organization, and networks, and using them to propose novel solutions to problems that affect us all. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Vintage film still photograph from the 1938 film. Based on the 1936 novel "The Wheel Spins" by Ethel Lina White. One of Hitchcock's undisputed classics, a light thriller made (along with "Jamaica Inn" in 1939) at the end of his first British period. Young Iris Henderson (Margaret Lockwood), heading home on a train after a vacation in the Balkans, befriends an old woman, Miss Froy (May Whitty) after Iris gets hit in the head with a flowerpot meant for Miss Froy. On the train, recovering from the blow, Iris falls asleep. When she awakens, Miss Froy has vanished, replaced by someone else in Miss Froy's clothing. Iris talks to the other passengers, a bizarre collection of eccentrics who think Iris is crazy for insisting there ever was a Miss Froy. Finally, Iris finds a young musician, Gilbert (Michael Redgrave), who believes her and the two proceed to search the train for clues. 12 x 9.5 inches. Very Good, with pinholes and creasing to corners and small chip to right corner margin.…
