Editorial Review Product Description Theodor Schwenk Translated by Olive Whicher & Johanna Weigley More than ever before, today we need "water consciousness" and we can begin with this essential and classic book on water as the universal bearer of living, formative processes. Beginning with simple flowing phenomena of water and air, Schwenk gradually builds up, with the help of marvelous photographs and drawings, the "letters" of an alphabet that will allow us to "read" the living meaning of water. The spiritual, formative processes are gradually brought to light, and we come to recognize the Creative Word in the universe. Fully illustrated. Customer Reviews (3)

Underneath it All, We're All Pretty Much the Same
Outstanding Satire
Dark, Funny, Touching
Strangely appealing William Paulinha (aka Master Chao) reads a few books on feng shui so that he can con the rich effetes out of their money. Interestingly, he really believes that feng shui works, so sometimes he uses this power for evil when arranging people's houses. There are several very funny scenes about interior decorating, snobby parties, and Chao's observations about human nature. The problem with the book, which I ultimately enjoyed, is that there are no characters to like much at all ... if that's a problem for you. If you want a funny, cutting, not nice view of the world, then step right up to Fixer Chao.
Clever, funny and believable. |

From Chaos to Coherence
Much more than a book
Microsoft of Emotional Coherence
An important book The Freeze Frame tool, and its associated variants, can be applied quickly and easily in a wide variety of situations to improve one's performance, productivity and personal satisfaction. These tools are based on the simple fact that it takes only a minute to shift your focus and change your perceptions.From Chaos to Coherence invites you to see for yourself what such a shift in focus and perception can mean in terms of your ability to deal with stress effectively, enhance your creativity or improve your leadership abilities. Whether you are an employee trying to cope with change and an increasingly demanding work environment, a middle manager who is trying to balance many conflicting forces, or an executive who is seeking to inspire excellent performance this book provides many valuable insights and practical, powerful tools.What's more these approaches have been tested and proven to be effective through careful research in many Fortune 500 companies, government agencies as well as many private businesses. This is an important book because it presents a simple technique that is so fundamental and sound that I have trouble understanding why everyone isn't already using this approach. The Freeze-Frame methodology is sure to provide a significant competitive advantage for those corporate leaders and managers who are interested in creating healthier and more productive environments in the information/internet age.God knows we need such approaches to help us keep pace with the demands and changes of our times. I highly recommend this book, and the HeartMath tools and approach.Bruce, Doc and the staff at the Institute of HeartMath have done a great job in developing and bringing these approaches into the corporate arena.It is now up to us to use them to determine the fruits they can bear in our own lives.I encourage you to buy this book and try these tools and see for yourself what they can do to increase the quality of your life and the performance of you, your team, and your organization. ...

OK, but something missing...
Great book
Introducing Chaos Adequate
"Chaos" (not Chaos theory) is all this book introduces you. It was a mistake. I would not say much about this. The author did introduce Chaos, not really Chaos theory, to the readers. He tried his best, I believe, to make things easy to understand by simplifying things... However, in doing so, he had just created Chaos. Hence, this book is probably one of the best examples of "How Simplicity creates Complexity and Chaos"... a simple scheme found in Complex systems (like complex Cellular Automata which emerged from a simple set of rules). One thing, while a lot of names (technical terms) were introduced, almost all of them are left unexplained. And I think only "introducing" is never enough. (Well, it was the name of the book afterall... this book wasn't named "Explaing Chaos" :) There are other good books on Chaos for layperson. And, in fact, "Introducing Fractal Geometry" did a far better job than this one. ... Read more |
79. Fractals: The Patterns of Chaos: Discovering a New Aesthetic of Art, Science, and Nature (A Touchstone Book) by John Briggs | |

Editorial Review Product Description Fractals are unique patterns left behind by the unpredictable movements -- the chaos -- of the world at work. The branching patterns of trees, the veins in a hand, water twisting out of a running tap -- all of these are fractals. Learn to recognize them and you will never again see things in quite the same way. Fractals permeate our lives, appearing in places as tiny as the surface of a virus and as majestic as the Grand Canyon. From ancient tribal peoples to modern painters to the animators of Star Wars, artists have been captivated by fractals and have utilized them in their work. Computer buffs are wild about fractals as well, for they can be generated on ordinary home computers. In Fractals: The Patterns of Chaos, science writer John Briggs uses over 170 illustrations to clearly explain the significance -- and more importantly, the beauty -- of fractals. He describes how fractals were discovered, how they are formed, and the unique properties different fractals share. Fractals is a breathtaking guided tour of a brand new aesthetic of art, science, and nature. It will revolutionize the way you see the world and your place within it. * Contains a special bibliography listing fractal generating software for desktop computers Customer Reviews (13)

80. Competing on the Edge : Strategy as Structured Chaos by Shona L. Brown, Kathleen M. Eisenhardt | |

Editorial Review Product Description In the first book to translate leading edge concepts from complexity theory into management practice, each chapter focuses on a specific management dilemma and illustrates a solution.Linking "where do you want to go?" with "how will you get there?" here's a bold and surprising strategy that works--when the name of the game is change. The authors contend that competing on the edgeis not an efficient or predictable way to do business. Instead, it'slearning how to adapt and lead in a business environment that's in aconstant state of flux. "The underlying insight behind competingon the edge is that strategy is the result of a firm's organizing tochange constantly and letting a semicoherent strategic directionemerge from that organization. In other words, it is about combiningthe two parts of strategy by simultaneously addressing where you wantto go and how you are going to get there." Brown andEisenhardt offer dozens of examples of companies that are successfullyand not so successfully finding that balance between anarchy andorder. If, on the one hand, you feel like your company is bogged downby rules and bureaucracy or if,on the other, it seems like no one inyour company knows exactly what they're doing, you'll find thatCompeting on the Edge is a valuable handbook for change. Thebook is clearly written, full of insight, and belongs on everymanager's bookshelf. Highly recommended. --Harry C. Edwards Customer Reviews (26)
