Questions and Information Systems
by Arthur C. Graesser Thomas W. Lauer Eileen PeacockThe design and functioning of an information system improve to the extent that the system can handle the questions people ask. Surprisingly, however, researchers in the cognitive, computer, and information sciences have not thoroughly examined the multitude of relationships between information systems and questions -- both question asking and answering. The purpose of this book is to explicitly examine these relationships. Chapter contributors believe that questions play a central role in the analysis, design, and use of different kinds of natural or artificial information systems such as human cognition, social interaction, communication networks, and intelligent tutoring systems. Their efforts show that data structures and representations need to be organized around the questioning mechanisms in order to achieve a quick retrieval of relevant useful information.
Questions for My Father: Finding the Man Behind Your Dad
by Vincent StaniforthI had ample opportunity to ask Dad these questions when he was alive, but it seemed that a million reasons not to do so could always be found. It was a waste of everything Dad had ever seen, done, and thought about not to hear his answers, and I regret not finding out more about him when I had the chance. Questions for My Father was borne of that regret and has one underlying objective: to develop a blueprint for discovery so that children of any age can start to build a clearer, deeper picture of the man behind the word. -- Vincent Staniforth

Quiet the Rage: How Learning to Manage Conflict Will Change Your Life (and the World)
by R.W. BurkeIn a world with more than 7 billion people, 196 countries, 7,000 spoken languages, and close to 30 religions, the probability of one group or one person intentionally or unintentionally offending another group or another person is absolutely certain. Many people limit themselves in life based on their inability to get along with others, and too often we allow ourselves to be ruled by our emotions. When we&’re emotionally reactive, we&’re not our best selves, nor do we produce the smartest outcomes. Emotional reactions create winners and losers. And winning directly at the expense of another is actually losing in disguise, due to the resentment it inspires in the loser. Often, people get stuck in a pattern of reacting emotionally, long past the time when the combativeness that once served them no longer does; long past the time when the pattern has become destructive without them being aware of it. For everyone who wants to change that part of themselves—everyone who wants more peaceful interactions and more successful outcomes, but doesn&’t know how to achieve that—Quiet the Rage is the answer.

by Susan CainBESTSELLER #1 DEL NEW YORK TIMES • El libro que inició un movimiento y revolucionó la forma en que el mundo ve a los introvertidos, y cómo los introvertidos se ven a sí mismos, al ofrecer validación, inclusión e inspiración. UNO DE LOS MEJORES LIBROS DEL AÑO según People, O: The Oprah Magazine, Christian Science Monitor, Inc., Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews Quiet es un libro que rompe paradigmas y demuestra la manera dramática en la que nuestra cultura ha malentendido y subestimado a los introvertidos.

Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking (Platinum Nonfiction Ser.)
by Susan CainThe book that started the Quiet RevolutionAt least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over working in teams. It is to introverts—Rosa Parks, Chopin, Dr. Seuss, Steve Wozniak—that we owe many of the great contributions to society. In Quiet, Susan Cain argues that we dramatically undervalue introverts and shows how much we lose in doing so. She charts the rise of the Extrovert Ideal throughout the twentieth century and explores how deeply it has come to permeate our culture. She also introduces us to successful introverts—from a witty, high-octane public speaker who recharges in solitude after his talks, to a record-breaking salesman who quietly taps into the power of questions. Passionately argued, superbly researched, and filled with indelible stories of real people, Quiet has the power to permanently change how we see introverts and, equally important, how they see themselves.Now with Extra Libris material, including a reader’s guide and bonus content
