Contents 1.What Is a Mind Map? -- 2.How to Mind Map -- 3.What Is Not a Mind Map? -- 4.Solution Finding -- 5.The Infinite Applications of Mind Maps -- 6.The Future of Mind Mapping. Abstract For the past five decades, Tony Buzan has been at the leading edge of learning and educational research with his revolutionary Mind Map technique. With Mind Map Mastery, he has distilled these years of global research into the clearest and most powerful instructional work available on the Mind Map technique. "I would recommend Tony’s new book to anybody who wants to improve their thinking and achieve Mind Map mastery themselves." – Dominic O’Brien, eight-time World Memory Champion and bestselling authorTony Buzan invented the Mind Map technique five decades ago. Seeing the transformational impact it had on people, he has been spreading the thinking tool across the world ever since. Tony Buzan’s Mind Map technique has gathered amazing praise and an enormous worldwide following over the last few decades, but as with any very successful idea, there have been many sub-standard imitators. With Mind Map Mastery, Tony Buzan re-establishes the essential concepts that are the core of the Mind Map with a clarity and practicality unrivalled by other books. If you are looking to improve your memory, plan your business strategy, become more organized, study for an exam or plan out your future, this is the book for you. With a clarity and depth that far exceeds any other book on the subject, it includes the history of the development of the Mind Map, an explanation of what makes a Mind Map (and what isn’t a Mind Map) and why it’s such a powerful tool, illustrated step-by-step techniques for Mind Map development – from simple to complex applications – and how to deal with Mind Maps that have “gone wrong”. Developed both for those new to the Mind Map concept as well as more experienced users who would like to revise and expand their expertise, Mind Map Mastery is the one Mind Mapping book needed on the shelf of every student and business person across the world.

159.923.2 STO Storr, Will Selfie : how the west became self-obsessed London : Picador, [2018]. Contents The dying self -- The tribal self -- The perfectible self -- The bad self -- The good self -- The special self -- The digital self -- How to stay alive in the age of perfectionism Abstract We live in an age of perfectionism. Every day, we’re bombarded with the beautiful, successful, slim, socially-conscious and extroverted individual that our culture has decided is the perfect self. We see this person constantly in shop windows, in newspapers, on the television, at the movies and all over our social media. We berate ourselves when we don’t match up to them - when we’re too fat, too old, too poor or too sad. This cycle can be extremely bad for us. In recent years, psychologists have even begun to think that many people take their own lives because of the impossible standards that are set for who they ought to be.Will Storr began to wonder about this perfect self that torments so many of us. Who, actually, is this person? Why does it hold such power over us? Could it be humanity’s deadliest idea? And, if so, is there any way we can break its spell?To find out, Storr takes us on a journey from the shores of Ancient Greece, through the Christian Middle Ages, the encounter groups of 1960s California and self-esteem evangelists of the late twentieth century to modern-day America, where research suggests today’s young people are in the grip of an epidemic of narcissism. He’ll tell the strange story of the individualist Western self from its birth on the Aegean to the era of hyper-individualistic neoliberalism in which we find ourselves today. "Selfie" reveals, for the first time, the epic tale of the person we all know so intimately . . . because it’s us. Subject Self Self -- History. Self-perception 42896

24 ואל ואלפולה, ראהולה ירושלים : כתר, [תשס"ד] 2004. Abstract איש רגיל היה שאקימוני, זה שאנו מכנים הבודהה, זה שהתעורר. שאלה אחת בערה בו: מאין האי-נחת שנוכחת בכול, ואיך אפשר להקל או להיחלץ מהאי-נחת? תעתוע, התעלמות, עיוורון וידיעה שגויה מביאים לסבל, אי-נחת, תסכול ומצוקה. כך הבין שאקימוני כשהתעורר מן התעתוע. הוא יצא לדרך החיפוש מתוך ויתור על ממלכה, וגילה את הוויתור כנקודת מוצא לריפוי. הוא יצא למסע החיפוש מתוך חמלה לכל היצורים שראה אותם בסבלם, וגילה גם את החמלה כנקודת מוצא לריפוי. הוא הבין את הדרך כשהיה בהתבוננות עמוקה והציע את דרך ההתבוננות כמוצא אפשרי לסבל. את תחילתה ואת סופה של הדרך אפשר לסכם במשפט אחד: הדרך לשחרור מתחילה בראיית הדברים כמות שהם. לא יותר. לא פחות. האם זו דת? פילוסופיה? פסיכותרפיה? כל אלה? אף לא אחד מהם? הכול תלוי בהגדרה, כמובן. נזכור נא שהמונחים הללו באים כולם מסביבה מערבית, ולכן השאלות מבקשות תשובה מערבית. מכאן אולי הבודהיזם הוא הכול. מעין תורה מאוחדת. - כריכה אחורית Per.Sub.

330.34 ASH Nicholas A. Ashford and Ralph P. Hall. Technology, globalization, and sustainable development / Revised edition. London ; New York : Routledge, an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group [2019]. Abstract Technology, Globalization, and Sustainable Development offers a unified, transdisciplinary approach for transforming the industrial state in order to promote sustainable development. The authors present a deep analysis of the ways that industrial states – both developed and developing – are currently unsustainable and how economic and social welfare are related to the environment, to public health and safety, and to earning capacity and meaningful and rewarding employment. The authors offer multipurpose solutions to the sustainability challenge that integrate industrial development, employment, technology, environment, national and international law, trade, finance, and public and worker health and safety. The authors present a compelling wake-up call that warns of the collision course set between the current paths of continued growth and inevitable unsustainability in the world today. Offering clear examples and real solutions, this textbook illustrates how the driving forces that are currently promoting unsustainability can be refocused and redesigned to reverse course and improve the state of the world. This book is essential reading for those teaching and studying sustainable development and the critical roles of the economy, employment, and the environment.

331.108.37 SMA Geoff Smart and Randy Street. New York : Ballantine Books, [2008]. Contents Your #1 problem -- Scorecard : a blueprint for success -- Source : generating a flow of A players -- Select : the four interviews for spotting A players -- Sell : the top five ways to seal the deal -- Your greatest opportunity. Abstract In this instant New York Times Bestseller, Geoff Smart and Randy Street provide a simple, practical, and effective solution to what The Economist calls “the single biggest problem in business today”: unsuccessful hiring. The average hiring mistake costs a company $1.5 million or more a year and countless wasted hours. This statistic becomes even more startling when you consider that the typical hiring success rate of managers is only 50 percent. The silver lining is that “who” problems are easily preventable. Based on more than 1,300 hours of interviews with more than 20 billionaires and 300 CEOs, Who presents Smart and Street’s A Method for Hiring. Refined through the largest research study of its kind ever undertaken, the A Method stresses fundamental elements that anyone can implement–and it has a 90 percent success rate. Whether you’re a member of a board of directors looking for a new CEO, the owner of a small business searching for the right people to make your company grow, or a parent in need of a new babysitter, it’s all about Who. Inside you’ll learn how to • avoid common “voodoo hiring” methods • define the outcomes you seek • generate a flow of A Players to your team–by implementing the #1 tactic used by successful businesspeople • ask the right interview questions to dramatically improve your ability to quickly distinguish an A Player from a B or C candidate • attract the person you want to hire, by emphasizing the points the candidate cares about most In business, you are who you hire. In Who, Geoff Smart and Randy Street offer simple, easy-to-follow steps that will put the right people in place for optimal success. Subject Employee selection Employees -- Recruiting.

Trial Details and Evaluation. Abstract While the focus of the UX research and design discipline and the Learning Sciences and instructional design disciplines is often similar and almost always tangential, there seems to exist a gap, i.e. a lack of communication between the two fields. Not much has been said about how UX Design can work hand-in-hand with instructional design to advance learning. The goal of this book is to bridge this gap by presenting work that cuts through both fields. To illustrate this gap in more detail, we provide a combined view of UX Research and Design & Educational Technology. While the traditional view has perceived the Learning Experience Design as a field of Instructional Design, we will highlight its connection with UX, an aspect that has become increasingly relevant. Our focus on user experience research and design has a unique emphasis on the human learning experience: we strongly believe that in learning technology the technological part is only mediating the learning experience, and we do not focus on technological advancements per se, as we believe they are not the solution, in themselves, to the problems that education is facing. This book aims to lay out the challenges and opportunities in this field and highlight them through research presented in the various chapters. Thus, it presents a unique opportunity to represent areas of learning technology that go very far beyond the MOOC and the classroom technology. The book provides an outstanding overview and insights in the area and it aims to serve as a significant and valuable source for learning researchers and practitioners.

Contents From communist to venture capitalist -- "I will survive" -- This time with feeling -- When things fall apart -- Take care of the people, the products, and the profits ... in that order -- Concerning the going concern -- How to lead even when you don’t know where you are going -- First rule of entrepreneurship: There are no rules -- The end of the beginning -- Appendix : Questions for head of enterprise sale force. Abstract In this book, Ben Horowitz, cofounder of Andreessen Horowitz, draws on his own story of founding, running, selling, buying, managing, and investing in technology companies to offer essential advice and practical wisdom for navigating the toughest problems business schools don’t cover. His blog has garnered a devoted following of millions of readers who have come to rely on him to help them run their businesses. A lifelong rap fan, Horowitz amplifies business lessons with lyrics from his favorite songs and tells it straight about everything from firing friends to poaching competitors, from cultivating and sustaining a CEO mentality to knowing the right time to cash in. His advice is grounded in anecdotes from his own rise -- from cofounding the early cloud service provider Loudcloud to building the successful Andreessen Horowitz venture capital firm, both with fellow tech superstar Marc Andreessen (inventor of Mosaic, the Internet’s first popular Web browser). This is no polished victory lap; he analyzes issues with no easy answers through his trials, including demoting (or firing) a loyal friend; whether you should incorporate titles and promotions, and how to handle them; if it’s OK to hire people from your friend’s company; how to manage your own psychology while the whole company is relying on you; what to do when smart people are bad employees; why Andreessen Horowitz prefers founder CEOs, and how to become one; and whether you should sell your company and how to do it.

Steve Wozniak, Apple Now available in paperback-with a new preface and interview with Jessica Livingston about Y Combinator! Founders at Work: Stories of Startups’ Early Days is a collection of interviews with founders of famous technology companies about what happened in the very earliest days. These people are celebrities now. What was it like when they were just a couple friends with an idea? Founders like Steve Wozniak (Apple), Caterina Fake (Flickr), Mitch Kapor (Lotus), Max Levchin (PayPal), and Sabeer Bhatia (Hotmail) tell you in their own words about their surprising and often very funny discoveries as they learned how to build a company. Where did they get the ideas that made them rich? How did they convince investors to back them? What went wrong, and how did they recover? Nearly all technical people have thought of one day starting or working for a startup. For them, this book is the closest you can come to being a fly on the wall at a successful startup, to learn how it’s done. But ultimately these interviews are required reading for anyone who wants to understand business, because startups are business reduced to its essence. The reason their founders become rich is that startups do what businessesdo create value more intensively than almost any other part of the economy. How? What are the secrets that make successful startups so insanely productive? Read this book, and let the founders themselves tell you. Subject New business enterprises -- United States.

Operating system -- 13. Postscript : more fun to go. Abstract In the early days of computer science, the interactions of hardware, software, compilers, and operating system were simple enough to allow students to see an overall picture of how computers worked. With the increasing complexity of computer technology and the resulting specialization of knowledge, such clarity is often lost. Unlike other texts that cover only one aspect of the field, The Elements of Computing Systems gives students an integrated and rigorous picture of applied computer science, as its comes to play in the construction of a simple yet powerful computer system. Indeed, the best way to understand how computers work is to build one from scratch, and this textbook leads students through twelve chapters and projects that gradually build a basic hardware platform and a modern software hierarchy from the ground up. In the process, the students gain hands-on knowledge of hardware architecture, operating systems, programming languages, compilers, data structures, algorithms, and software engineering. Using this constructive approach, the book exposes a significant body of computer science knowledge and demonstrates how theoretical and applied techniques taught in other courses fit into the overall picture. Designed to support one- or two-semester courses, the book is based on an abstraction-implementation paradigm; each chapter presents a key hardware or software abstraction, a proposed implementation that makes it concrete, and an actual project. The emerging computer system can be built by following the chapters, although this is only one option, since the projects are self-contained and can be done or skipped in any order. All the computer science knowledge necessary for completing the projects is embedded in the book, the only pre-requisite being a programming experience. The book’s web site provides all tools and materials necessary to build all the hardware and software systems described in the text, i Subject Electronic digital computers 42872

Contents It’s Different Out Here -- Anatomy of the Internet of Things -- On the Edge -- Building a Web of Things -- Small Data, Big Data, and Human Interaction -- Architecture for the Frontier -- Examples and Applications -- Pathways to the Internet of Things. Abstract Over the next decade, most devices connected to the Internet will not be used by people in the familiar way that personal computers, tablets and smart phones are. Billions of interconnected devices will be monitoring the environment, transportation systems, factories, farms, forests, utilities, soil and weather conditions, oceans and resources. Many of these sensors and actuators will be networked into autonomous sets, with much of the information being exchanged machine-to-machine directly and without human involvement. Machine-to-machine communications are typically terse. Most sensors and actuators will report or act upon small pieces of information - ’chirps’. Burdening these devices with current network protocol stacks is inefficient, unnecessary and unduly increases their cost of ownership. This must change. The architecture of theInternet of Things must evolve now byincorporating simpler protocols toward at the edges of thenetwork, or remain forever inefficient. Rethinking the Internet of Things describes reasons why we must rethink current approaches to the Internet of Things. Appropriate architectures that will coexist with existing networking protocols are described in detail. An architecture comprised of integrator functions, propagator nodes, and end devices, along with their interactions, is explored. Subject Internet of things Machine-to-machine communications.

76.026 BIS Bi-scriptual : typography and graphic design with multiple script systems Salenstein : Niggli Verlag, [2019] Contents Foreword : Script is language is communication / Ben Wittner -- Preface : Expanding possibilities of type design today / Peter Bil’ak -- Working bi-scriptual / Huda Smitshuijzen AbiFares -- Arabic / Lara Captan, Kristyan Sarkis -- Cyrillic / Eugene Yukechev -- Devanagari / Viabhav Singh -- Greek / Gerry Leonidas -- Hangul / Jeongmin Kwon -- Hanzi / Keith Tam -- Hebrew / Liron Lavi Turkenich, Adi Stern -- Kanji/Hirangana/Katakana / Mariko Takagi. Abstract As a result of globalization and increased interaction across countries and cultures, multilingualism has gained importance. Script, as the most important conveyor of confirmation, plays a major role in this development. Designers are more and more faced with the challenge of creating designs that not only combine various languages but two or even more writing systems. At first, Bi-Scriptual discusses on a theoretical level questions such as the sociocultural relations between various writing systems and the increasing importance of sociocultural communication. Following a general section on the practical application of bilingual design, experts of the concerned languages compare eight writing systems with the Latin script. This part also contains topical interviews and practical examples of more than 100 designers.
