Insights -- like Darwin's understanding of the way evolution actually works, and Watson and Crick's breakthrough discoveries about the structure of DNA -- can change the world. We also need insights into the everyday things that frustrate and confuse us so that we can more effectively solve problems and get things done. Yet we know very little about when, why, or how insights are formed -- or what blocks them. In Seeing What Others Don't, renowned cognitive psychologist Gary Klein unravels the mystery. Klein is a keen observer of people in their natural settings -- scientists, businesspeople, firefighters, police officers, soldiers, family members, friends, himself -- and uses a marvelous variety of stories to illuminate his research into what insights are and how they happen. What, for example, enabled Harry Markopolos to put the finger on Bernie Madoff? How did Dr. Michael Gottlieb make the connections between different patients that allowed him to publish the first announcement of the AIDS epidemic? What did Admiral Yamamoto see (and what did the Americans miss) in a 1940 British attack on the Italian fleet that enabled him to develop the strategy of attack at Pearl Harbor? How did a "smokejumper" see that setting another fire would save his life, while those who ignored his insight perished? How did Martin Chalfie come up with a million-dollar idea (and a Nobel Prize) for a natural flashlight that enabled researchers to look inside living organisms to watch biological processes in action? Klein also dissects impediments to insight, such as when organizations claim to value employee creativity and to encourage breakthroughs but in reality block disruptive ideas and prioritize avoidance of mistakes. Or when information technology systems are "dumb by design" and block potential discoveries. Both scientifically sophisticated and fun to read, Seeing What Others Don't shows that insight is not just a "eureka!" moment but a whole new way of understanding.

Formerly out of print and unavailable for almost 20 years, this book has remained the foundational text on sandplay psychotherapeutic theory. The theoretical mechanics of how sandplay, an effective nonverbal therapy, works to heal and transform the psyche are articulated and applied to a complete sandplay case. This updated edition includes a clarification of the function of Jung's personality theory in the sandplay therapy method and an examination of the process of growth and development undergone in sandplay therapy. The material provides the clinician and student the theoretical foundation necessary to develop the clinical tools for the practice of sandplay therapy.

During the summer and fall of 1982 the Israeli government used military force in an operation which they believed would achieve certain immediate political goals. Israel invaded Lebanon with an announced goal of clearing PLO terrorists from an area which threatened the northern section of Israel known as Galilee. While military forces initially committed to the operation were equal to the announced political goal, changes in policy which occurred during the operation created tensions in the campaign plan conducted by the Israeli Defense Forces. This monograph first analyzes the background of all active and supporting belligerents in order to ascertain the political and strategic goals which guided the participants. The plans for the operation are presented and the actual conduct of the invasion is described. Two aspects of classical theory--the identification of centers of gravity and the relationship between military means and political ends--are assessed in the light of the success and failure of the nations involved in the conflict. The monograph concludes that there was a glaring military means-political ends mismatch and that the Israeli planners failed in identifying the PLO center of gravity. The indications are that modern nation-states must be prepared to understand and fight any type of warfare on the conflict spectrum. Understanding of military theory and history assists the planner in these demands.

Breeding for Stress Resistance and Climate Change is a guide dedicated to understanding how plants can adapt to the challenges posed by climate change. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in improving crop resilience, whether they are researchers, breeders, or students. We introduce the book's main goal: to explore the methods and concepts crucial for developing crops that can withstand both living (biotic) and non-living (abiotic) stresses. We emphasize the significance of plant breeding in ensuring a sustainable food supply amidst changing environmental conditions. We highlighted the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in plant breeding, drawing on insights from genetics, molecular biology, and agronomy. We aim to provide practical knowledge and methodologies that can be applied to breed stress-resistant crops effectively. Breeding for Stress Resistance and Climate Change seeks to empower readers to contribute to the development of sustainable agricultural systems resilient to the impacts of climate change. We hope that this book will inspire and guide individuals to address the pressing challenges facing global agriculture.
