Why Don't Things Fall Up?: and Six Other Science Lessons You Missed at School
by Alom Shaha'A book of quiet wonder.' Ian Dunt 'I have learnt (and remembered) so much, and so easily. It's the mango ice cream of science books.' Hilary McKay'Everything Alom writes is a joy to ponder, his love of science is utterly contagious, the perfect guide through things that might perplex.' Robin Ince'A joyful exploration of fundamental questions about our world; Shaha proves that science is for everyone!' Roma Agrawal'Friendly, informative and such fun to read.' Christopher Edge 'Alom Shaha is the science teacher many people will wish they had but didn't.' Philip Ball'Here is the teacher you'll wish you had at school.' Jim S. Al-Khalili CBE Has a child - or anyone else - ever asked you why the sky is blue? Could you explain why ice cream melts? Have you forgotten why scientists think the universe started with a Big Bang, and do you understand the difference between respiration and breathing?Why Don't Things Fall Up? will gently remind you of everything you may have learnt once upon a time, but have somehow forgotten along the way. If you've ever changed the subject when a child has asked for homework help, or if you have the curiosity of a seven year old yourself, or if you know everything but have forgotten the basics or don't want to know anything except the basics - then this is the book for you. Using questions asked by children as a starting point, Alom Shaha (who has spent over two decades trying to help people of all ages understand this stuff) takes us on a tour of the "big ideas" of science from his unique perspective. His experience as a dad, a teacher and science communicator means he knows exactly what people don't know -and especially the misconceptions and other intellectual hurdles which prevent us from grasping key ideas. Combining his proven skill for explaining science with storytelling and flashbacks to school experiments, Why Don't Things Fall Up? reminds us that science is not just for scientists - it's a human endeavour that enriches all our lives.
Why the Iraqi Resistance to the Coalition Invasion Was So Weak
by Stephen T. HosmerDraws upon information derived primarily from interviews with and interrogations of senior Iraqi military and civilian officials to examine why the Iraqi resistance in March and April 2003 was so weak. It focuses on two questions: (1) Why did the Iraqi Regular Army and Republican Guard forces do so little fighting? and (2) Why did Iraqi leaders fail to adopt certain defensive measures that would have made the Coalition's task more difficult?

Wie halten Sie Ihre Gabel?: Von mentaler Programmierung zu innerer Freiheit
by Gundolf R. WendeWer mentale Programmierungen erkennt und bei sich ändert, wird innerlich souverän und kann frei und selbst bestimmt gestalten. In der Regel ist uns nicht bewusst, dass sich bereits in frühester Kindheit und Jugend die Art und Weise unseres Denkens und Handelns manifestiert. Daran ändert sich meist während unseres ganzen Lebens recht wenig. Doch was, wenn Wirtschaft, Gesellschaft und Arbeitswelt sich jetzt so schnell und radikal wandeln wie nie zuvor – während wir unbewusst bei alten Programmierungen bleiben? Wir werden innerlich unsicher, agieren zaghaft und unsouverän. Es mangelt uns an mentaler Flexibilität und psychologischer Sicherheit, um den Wandel zu gestalten. Wir sind häufig im Widerstand und klammern uns an Hergebrachtes, ohne wirklich zu begreifen, warum. Wir verstehen die Programme dahinter nicht.Das Buch richtet sich an ein breites Publikum. Es spricht all diejenigen an, die das Gefühl haben, „festzustecken“ und die freier und selbst bestimmter leben möchten. Leistungsorientierte Menschen in verantwortungsvollen Positionen in Wirtschaft, Politik, Wissenschaft, Kultur etc., suchen in einer brüchigen, nicht-linearen Welt einen inneren Anker, um mutig und inspiriert Neues gestalten zu können.
