FIRE
Author: Dan Ward
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0062301918
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
Noted military technology expert Dan Ward's manifesto for creating great products and projects using the methods of rapid innovation. Why do some programs deliver their product under cost, while others bust their budget? Why do some deliver ahead of schedule, while others experience endless delays? Which products work better—the quick and thrifty or the slow and expensive? Which situation leads to superior equipment? With nearly two decades as an engineering officer in the U. S. Air Force, Dan Ward explored these questions during tours of duty at military research laboratories, the Air Force Institute of Technology, an intelligence agency, the Pentagon and Afghanistan. The pattern he noticed revealed that the most successful project leaders in both the public and private sectors delivered top-shelf products with a skeleton crew, a shoestring budget, and a cannonball schedule. Excessive investment of time, money, or complexity actually reduced innovation. He concluded the secret to innovation is to be fast, inexpensive, simple, and small. FIRE presents an entertaining and practical framework for pursuing rapid, frugal innovation. A story-filled blend of pop culture and engineering insight, FIRE has something for everyone: strategic concepts leaders can use as they cast a vision, actionable principles for managers as they make business decisions, and practical tools for workers as they design, build, assess and test new products.

ISBN: 0062887831
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
The Near-Earth Orbital Guard (Neo-G)—inspired by the real-life mission of the Coast Guard—patrols and protects the solar system. Now the crew of Zuma’s Ghost must contend with personnel changes and a powerful cabal hellbent on dominating the trade lanes in this fast-paced, action-packed follow-up to A Pale Light in the Black. Zuma’s Ghost has won the Boarding Games for the second straight year. The crew—led by the unparalleled ability of Jenks in the cage, the brilliant pairing of Ma and Max in the pilot seats, the technical savvy of Sapphi, and the sword skills of Tamago and Rosa—has all come together to form an unstoppable team. Until it all comes apart. Their commander and Master Chief are both retiring. Which means Jenks is getting promoted, a new commander is joining them, and a fresh-faced spacer is arriving to shake up their perfect dynamics. And while not being able to threepeat is on their minds, the more important thing is how they’re going to fulfill their mission in the black. After a plea deal transforms a twenty-year ore-mining sentence into NeoG service, Spacer Chae Ho-ki earns a spot on the team. But there’s more to Chae that the crew doesn’t know, and they must hide a secret that could endanger everyone they love—as well as their new teammates—if it got out. At the same time, a seemingly untouchable coalition is attempting to take over trade with the Trappist colonies and start a war with the NeoG. When the crew of Zuma’s Ghost gets involved, they end up as targets of this ruthless enemy. With new members aboard, will the team grow stronger this time around? Will they be able to win the games? And, more important, will they be able to surmount threats from both without and within?

The Art of Fire
Author: Daniel Hume
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 1473543940
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
Fire can fascinate, inspire, capture the imagination and bring families and communities together. It has the ability to amaze, energise and touch something deep inside all of us. For thousands of years, at every corner of the globe, humans have been huddling around fires: from the basic and primitive essentials of light, heat, energy and cooking, through to modern living, fire plays a central role in all of our lives. The ability to accurately and quickly light a fire is one of the most important skills anyone setting off on a wilderness adventure could possess, yet very little has been written about it. Through his narrative Hume also meditates on the wider topics surrounding fire and how it shapes the world around us.

Prayer and Fasting

Pages : 108
Book Description
Ready for Revival? It's Time to Relearn Prayer and Fasting. This book is for Christians who are waking up from the uneasy peace churches have made with the way things are. The modern church's contentedness in maintaining membership rolls doesn't compare with the early church's zeal for spreading the gospel far and wide. For Christians ready for revival, it's time to reintroduce serious prayer and fasting--not as sporadic irregularities but as serious habits. Beyond telling us that we need to pray and fast, David Roadcup and Michael Eagle describe how these practices can become part of our daily and weekly rhythms. Christians must be realistic about common hindrances to these practices and receive practical help about how to move forward despite the inhibitions and idolatries which often get in our way. Prayer and Fasting combines biblical teaching, spiritual insight, and scientific research to help us intentionally pursue revival. The power of the Holy Spirit has enflamed disciple-making movements all throughout history as faithful disciple makers have prayed and fasted. To help us powerfully impact our churches, cultures, and countries for Christ, David and Mike have prepared this helpful manual. Let's intentionally and faithfully put their words into practice! -- DR. TONY TWIST, President & CEO, TCM International Institute Every Christian seeking revival needs to read this practical primer on prayer and fasting. Leading disciple-making experts agree that acknowledging the power of the Holy Spirit through prayer and fasting is key for breakthrough. Roadcup and Eagle show us both the "why" and the "how" to this vital element of our faith. -- DR. BOBBY HARRINGTON, Pastor, Author, Point Leader of Renew.org & Discipleship.org DAVID ROADCUP is Professor of Discipleship and Global Outreach Representative for TCM International in Indianapolis, Indiana. He is one of the founding members of Promise Keepers and one of the three founding members of e2: effective elders. Dr. Roadcup has authored numerous articles and authored or co-authored a dozen books. MICHAEL EAGLE is Physician Assistant in Orthopedic Surgery at Vanderbilt University Medical School and previously at Mayo Clinic. He has run eighteen marathons, completed two Ironman events, and has an interest in nutrition, exercise, and fasting. Michael is an elder at Harpeth Christian Church and a graduate of TCM's Discipleship Program.
