Yossi Yassour, an Israeli bestselling author and esteemed professor of Business Administration, presents the fascinating field of decision-making in a clear, humorous, and accessible language, to allow you to make the decisions that are most right for you. You are watching a reality TV show you enjoy. At the same time, a friend calls you and tells you that a competing TV channel is showing a different reality TV show you like. When you put down the phone, are you in a better situation than you were before? Even though you now have more choices, you may be surprised to discover that most people would say your situation is worse. But how is this logical? Whether we are aware of it or not, we make decisions every moment of our life. The problems begin to form when we base too many of our decisions on wrong comparisons, misinformation, misguided risk assessment, and other negative emotional influences. The reasons for our failures are many, complex, and varied. Sometimes the consequences are no more than amusing, but sometimes they are critical. However, they are certainly avoidable. If we are more aware of the things that affect our decisions, we will be able to make smarter, braver, and more accurate decisions that will improve and enrich our lives and those of the people around us. Professor Yossi Yassour, Doctor of Business Administration from Harvard University, has focused his work and his academic writing on the field of decision theory for nearly 50 years. Based on his many years of experience, insights from research he has conducted with his colleagues, and other academic work done by the world's best researchers, he invites you into the wonderfully fascinating world of decision theory, its practical applications, and the many methods you can employ to avoid failure while making decisions.

ISBN: 0429804180

This concise and carefully developed text offers a reader friendly guide to the basics of time-resolved spectroscopy with an emphasis on experimental implementation. The authors carefully explain and relate for the reader how measurements are connected to the core physical principles. They use the time-dependent wave packet as a building block for understanding quantum dynamics, progressively advancing to more complex topics. The topics are discussed in paired sections, one discussing the theory and the next presenting the related experimental methods. A wide range of readers including students and newcomers to the field will gain a clear and practical understanding of how to measure aspects of molecular dynamics such as wave packet motion, intramolecular vibrational relaxation, and electron-electron coupling, and how to describe such measurements mathematically.

This comprehensive guide to MRI of the pregnant patient presenting with fetal or maternal diseases provides a practical, hands-on approach to the use of state-of-the-art MRI techniques and the optimization of sequences. It analyzes data obtained from maternal and fetal MRI examinations, reviews fast imaging techniques, details pitfalls related to fetal MRI and assesses methods for improving image resolution. Fetal pathological conditions and methods of prenatal MRI diagnosis are discussed according to organ system and the literature is reviewed. Interpretation of findings and potential artifacts are thoroughly considered with the aid of numerous high-quality illustrations. The book will be a detailed resource for radiologists, obstetricians, neonatologists and geneticists, as well as any other practitioner who wishes to gain an in-depth understanding of fetal and maternal MRI. In addition, it will serve as a reference source for technicians, researchers and students, as well as for any specialist who is planning to set up a fetal and maternal MRI service.

As societies become more complex and interconnected, the global risk for catastrophic disasters is increasing. Demand for expertise to mitigate the human suffering and damage these events cause is also high. A new field of disaster medicine is emerging, offering innovative approaches to optimize disaster management. Much of the information needed to create the foundation for this growing specialty is not objectively described or is scattered among multiple different sources. This definitive work brings together a coherent and comprehensive collection of scientific observations and evidence-based recommendations with expert contributors from around the globe. This book identifies essential subject matter, clarifies nomenclature, and outlines necessary areas of proficiency for healthcare professionals handling mass casualty crises. It also describes in-depth strategies for the rapid diagnosis and treatment of victims suffering from blast injuries or exposure to chemical, biological, and radiological agents.

One of the leading textbooks in its field, Bringing Fossils to Life applies paleobiological principles to the fossil record while detailing the evolutionary history of major plant and animal phyla. It incorporates current research from biology, ecology, and population genetics, bridging the gap between purely theoretical paleobiological textbooks and those that describe only invertebrate paleobiology and that emphasize cataloguing live organisms instead of dead objects. For this third edition Donald R. Prothero has revised the art and research throughout, expanding the coverage of invertebrates and adding a discussion of new methodologies and a chapter on the origin and early evolution of life.
