The Ancient Mystery of Easter Island
Author: John A. Torres
Publisher: Mitchell Lane
ISBN: 1545749531
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
To some, Easter Island is just a tiny bit of volcanic rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. To others, it is the source of one of mankind's greatest mysteries. Easter Island is home to hundreds of giant statues that people built centuries ago, but no one knows why. The statues are amazing. Some of them wear headdresses made from red stone. Others have large pieces of coral for eyes. Almost as mysterious as the statues themselves is the fact that so many of them were never finished. In fact, tools used to make the huge stone structures were left right near the unfinished works. What happened on Easter Island? And why does it continue to captivate us?

Flirting with Disaster
Author: Marc S. Gerstein
Publisher: Union Square + ORM
ISBN: 1402776799
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
This analysis of catastrophes provides a pathway for those who want to foster truthtelling in their organization and head off disasters in the making. We tend to think of disasters as uncontrollable acts of nature or inevitable accidents. But are such incidents unavoidable or ever truly accidental? The authors of this remarkable book say we actually do have the power to prevent tragedies such as the flooding from Hurricane Katrina, the death toll from dangerous medicines like Vioxx, and the explosion of the Space Shuttle Columbia. Marc Gerstein and Michael Ellsberg insist that disasters need not be inevitable if we learn from history, prepare carefully for the worst case, and speak out when we see danger looming. This revelation makes their compelling study extremely valuable for readers in business, government, medicine, academia—indeed all walks of life. Flirting with Disaster will do for catastrophe what Blink did for intuition, and The Black Swan did for probability: provide a popular audience with an engaging, in-depth view of a complex and important topic. Gerstein and Ellsberg examine the culture of institutions: why even people of good will and inside knowledge underestimate risk; feel psychologically incapable of averting tragedy and unable to pick up the pieces afterward; and don’t come forward forcefully enough to head off catastrophe. They also celebrate those who go beyond the call of duty to save others, including Dr. David Graham of the FDA who courageously stood up to reveal Vioxx’s deadly effects. One such whistleblower contributes both a foreword and an afterword: Daniel Ellsberg, renowned for releasing the Pentagon Papers.

Get ready to laugh and cry as you read You're Not the Only Nut in the Tree of Life: There are many of us hanging right there beside you. Being a mother of five children has been both a challenge and a joy for author Debra Munden. When she met her future husband, Bob, in high school, the two never imagined the adventures they would share as parents.

We are now enjoying watching our children go through the same struggles we did," she says with a quiet smile and a knowing nod. "I think my greatest joy has been when one of my children tells me, 'Please, don't tell me I was any way like this ' " Each chapter shares a personal story and ends with a tie-in to scripture in the Bible. "The purpose of my book is to achieve five things: to make you laugh; to make you cry; to make you think; to make you remember; and to make you hope." So sit back, relax, and realize that You're Not the Only Nut in the Tree of Life. About the Author: Debra Munden's girlfriends all told her she should write a book.
