Whether at work, at school, or in our personal endeavors, there's a deepening (and inescapable) need for people to work with and understand information.

When we make things for others to use, the architecture of information that we choose greatly affects our ability to deliver our intended message to our users.We all face messes made of information and people. This book defines the word "mess" the same way that most dictionaries do: "A situation where the interactions between people and information are confusing or full of difficulties." - Who doesn't bump up against messes made of information and people every day? How to Make Sense of Any Mess provides a seven step process for making sense of any mess. Each chapter contains a set of lessons as well as workbook exercises architected to help you to work through your own mess.

Book Description
In 2016, a team of US Navy analysts stationed in a secret base near Bremerton, Washington, led by the no-nonsense Commander Tull, find themselves in the midst of chaos when a magnitude 9.3 earthquake strikes off the South Coast of Washington. Amid the chaos, one analyst, Abbigail Connors, stands out for her remarkable composure. Commander Tull is impressed and secretly puts her in charge of his newly created Special Tactics and Recovery Team (START) to investigate the cause of the earthquake. As Abby delves deeper into her research, she discovers hidden messages that suggest something unnatural or man-made caused the earthquake. However, the government is aware of her findings and tries to take her into custody. In the meantime, Abby's husband, Capt James Connors, is part of the START team under a different name. When Abby discovers the truth about James' identity, their relationship is tested. Meanwhile, a billion years ago in the same solar system as Earth, different races are trying to work together despite their differences. The Monuans govern their people through scientific consensus, while the Martuans are recovering from a civil war between the united people and the King-Priests. The Ventusians are a battle-ready society where deeds from military service determine leadership. The Phoetuans are a hostile, combative, and untrusting military race. The Exalted is the political group of the different world's leadership that strives to work out deals, trade, technology, and conflicts. Each race has its own struggles and agendas. As the earthquakes continue to wreak havoc, Tull sends the START team to rescue Abby before other government agencies can get to her. They discover that the signals causing the earthquakes come from a strange device called Nah-Mah by the Monuans. In the past timeline, the different races finally come together to work against a common enemy. However, they are tested by mysterious villains called the Vrill. The story culminates in a thrilling climax as both timelines converge at the Nah-Mah.

Book Description
It all starts, as these things sometimes do, with a dead man. He was a neighbour, not someone Abby knew well, but still, finding a body when you only came over to borrow a tin of tomatoes, that comes as a bit of a shock. At least, it should. And now she can't shake the feeling that if she hadn't gone into Simon's flat, if she'd had her normal Wednesday night instead, then none of what happened next would have happened. And she would never have met Melody Black . . . Wild and witty, searing and true, THE MIRROR WORLD OF MELODY BLACK is about the fine line that separates normal from not - and how life can spin, very swiftly, out of control.

Abby's life had not been an easy one, especially after the death of her family when she had been sixteen, but she had thought things were finally looking up.
