Book Description
One day. It can change everything. The life you knew, gone in an instant. An ordinary person, just like you. Things like this, they dont happen to ordinary people, do they? Have you ever wondered what you would do if something terrible happened and you had to start again? All over again. This is a story of just that, something terrible that happened one Tuesday and one womans determination to find a way back. There were times when the struggle seemed too much but a strong faith and a refusal to give up on the belief in the inherent goodness of humanity and the universe helped this woman to come out fighting. Fighting, not only the justice system but for all those who couldnt in the past. Sometimes bad things happen to good people, maybe there isnt always a reason for that. There is a reason why this woman is telling you her story. Always be brave, never give up, if she can get through it, so can you.

The Ingenuity Gap
Author: Thomas Homer-Dixon
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0375412719
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 443
Book Description
“Human beings have been smart enough to turn nature to their ends, generate vast wealth for themselves, and double their average life span. But are they smart enough to solve the problems of the 21st century?” -- Thomas Homer-Dixon In The Ingenuity Gap, Thomas Homer-Dixon, "global guru" (the Toronto Star), asks: is our world becoming too complex, too fast-paced to manage? The challenges facing us converge, intertwine, and remain largely beyond our ken. Most of suspect the "experts don't really know what's going on; that as a species we've released forces that are neither managed nor manageable. We are fast approaching a time when we may no longer be able to control a world that increasingly exceeds our grasp. This is "the ingenuity gap" -- the term coined by Thomas Homer-Dixon -- the critical gap between our need for practical, innovative ideas to solve complex problems and our actual supply of those ideas. Through gripping narrative stories and incidents that exemplify his arguments, he takes us on a world tour that begins with a heartstopping description of the tragic crash of United Airlines Flight 232 from Denver to Chicago and includes Las Vegas in its desert, a wilderness beach in British Columbia, and his solitary search for a little girl in Patna, India. He shows how, in our complex world, while poor countries are particularly vulnerable to ingenuity gaps, our own rich countries are not immune, and we are caught between a requirement for ingenuity and an increasingly uncertain supply. When the gap widens, political disintegration and violent upheaval can result, reaching into our own economies and daily lives in subtle ways. In compelling, lucid, prose, he makes real the problems we face and suggests how we might overcome them.
