The Time Team Guide to the History of Britain
Author: Tim Taylor
Publisher: Channel 4
ISBN: 9781905026708
Category : Great Britain
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
We all know that the Battle of Hastings was fought in 1066, London's 'one big burning blaze' tore through the capital in 1666 and that Britain declared war on Nazi Germany in 1939, but many of us remember the most important moments in our history by the folk stories which are attached to them. So we remember Henry VIII for his wives rather than the Reformation and Charles II for climbing a tree rather than the Civil War. But if we set aside these stories, do we really know what happened when, and why it's so important? Which came first, the Bronze Age or the Stone Age? Why did the Romans play such a significant role in our past? And how did a nation as small as Britain come to command such a vast empire? Here, Tim Taylor and the team of expert historians behind Channel 4's Time Team, answer these questions and many more, cataloguing British history in a way that is accessible to all. This book will give you and your family a clear and concise view of what happened when, and why.

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
Chester is a foolish, immature mouse from the mean streets and alleyways of Liverpool. Unlike any other rodent around here Chester lacks the natural instincts to keep himself out of danger. Chester is a magnet for trouble and calamity, often placing himself, and therefore those he cares about, directly in harms way. In a characteristic show of stupidity Chester brings about the demise of a dear friend, Giblet. Whilst mourning that loss Chester's world is turned upside down, as the derelict house he calls home is ripped apart by builders sent to restore the old shell to its former glory. Panic-stricken, every mouse seeks sanctuary wherever they can, whilst Chester jumps straight into one of the builders toolboxes. For the first time Chester is forced to leave behind the only home he has ever known, and is thrust into a terrifying world where even the wiliest mouse would never dare tread. Confronted by Humans, Cats and an army of mice under the rule of the dictatorial Victor, Chester must summon up the courage to lead a small band of new found friends, including the beautiful Arabella, to escape the endless perils that they are subjected to. So begins a thrilling journey where danger lurks every step of the way as they attempt to return to the safety of Liverpool.

Simplifying Cause Analysis
Author: Chester D. Rowe
Publisher: Rothstein Publishing
ISBN: 1944480471
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
When the challenge is to get to the heart of a problem, you need a simple and efficient cause investigation methodology. And what would make a real difference would be an interactive map to lead you to the answer every time. Chester Rowe’s Simplifying Cause Analysis: A Structured Approach is your instruction book combined with the included downloadable Interactive Cause Analysis Tool you have been looking for. The author intends this book for professionals like you, who have some familiarity with cause analysis projects and are looking for a simple and efficient cause investigation methodology –is a more effective and insightful way of asking “why?” Introducing his multi-function event investigation tool, Chester Rowe says, “There are already many scientific tools to help us understand the physical causes for machine failures; the challenge now is to find a way of investigating human performance failure modes...humans are often a major source of slips, lapses, and mistakes.” Supporting his instructions with diagrams, charts, and real-world examples from companies like yours, the author takes you step-by-step through planning, completing, and documenting your investigation: Chapter 1 gives you a process to determine the level of effort that your investigation should encompass, assess the level of effort needed, and determine the rigor needed. Your investigation needs to be as risk-informed as possible. Chapters 2 through 5 presents a new and innovative structure –rigorous yet intuitively easy to remember – to identify the underlying causes for the event (Cause Road Maps) and conduct the investigation. Chapter 6 introduces conceptual human performance models and tells you how to begin focusing on the human behaviors involved. Chapters 7 and 8 present you with methods, tools, and techniques for carefully interviewing personnel. Chapters 9 through 13 “put the pieces together,” showing you how to analyze and model the event, determine corrective action, and document the investigations and findings. Chester Rowe developed the Cause Road Map over many years to provide a comprehensive taxonomy for every cause investigation. However, fully implementing the Cause Road Map requires the use of other tools to organize, analyze, and present the final results of your investigation. To get you started, Rowe includes his downloadable Interactive Cause Analysis Tool – an easy-to-use tool in familiar spreadsheet format – free with your verified purchase of the book.
