Ross McIntyre and his wife Jean spent 40 years together paddling the great wilderness rivers of North America. Paddle Beads is Ross's inspirational and moving memoir of those trips and the resultant lifetime journey they took together. For those whose hands have not yet grown a paddle callus, McIntyre offers a glimpse of what to expect as a canoe paddle becomes a real companion. For those with miles of water behind and more to come, these pieces will vividly bring back the sensation as the bow rises on a wave or as the canoe leans into a turn. And for those who are content to sit comfortably at the fireside and dream about the way things should be, Paddle Beads will take your imagination on a lasting journey. ---------------- "Paddle Beads is a deeply sensitive, introspective view of how wild places and the magic of canoes shape the human spirit. Masterfully written and rich with life lessons, the author's passion for adventure and his respect for humanity shine through on every page. I simply couldn't put this book down!" Cliff Jacobson

An insightful, revealing history of the magical mathematics that transformed our world. The Lady Tasting Tea is not a book of dry facts and figures, but the history of great individuals who dared to look at the world in a new way. At a summer tea party in Cambridge, England, a guest states that tea poured into milk tastes different from milk poured into tea. Her notion is shouted down by the scientific minds of the group. But one man, Ronald Fisher, proposes to scientifically test the hypothesis. There is no better person to conduct such an experiment, for Fisher is a pioneer in the field of statistics. The Lady Tasting Tea spotlights not only Fisher's theories but also the revolutionary ideas of dozens of men and women which affect our modern everyday lives. Writing with verve and wit, David Salsburg traces breakthroughs ranging from the rise and fall of Karl Pearson's theories to the methods of quality control that rebuilt postwar Japan's economy, including a pivotal early study on the capacity of a small beer cask at the Guinness brewing factory. Brimming with intriguing tidbits and colorful characters, The Lady Tasting Tea salutes the spirit of those who dared to look at the world in a new way.

Geostatistical Error Management isthe first book to apply these proven quantitative tools toenvironmental challenges. The centerpiece of this working guide isan innovative decision-making framework, known as geostatisticalerror management (GEM). GEM integrates the related areas of DataQuality Objectives, Sampling Theory & Practice, andGeostatistical Appraisal to create an entirely new set of toolsthat help you more accurately assess resources for collectingenvironmental data, analyze sources of error in sampling, andquantify the extent and levels of contamination at environmentallyimpacted sites needing remediation. This practical,results-oriented resource * Focuses on the environmental applications of geostatisticaltechniques and how they fit into today's regulatory, legal, andengineering environments * Provides step-by-step explanations for applying error managementtools at every stage of an environmental site assessment * Points the way to applying GEM to environmental work beyond siteevaluation and characterization Geostatistical Error Management will enable environmentalspecialists to perform assessments of hazardous waste andenvironmentally impacted sites more accurately and to confidentlymanage uncertainty and error at every phase of a remediationproject.

A new edition of a book that details the system of transformation underlying the 14 Points for Management presented in Deming's Out of the Crisis. It would be better if everyone would work together as a system, with the aim for everybody to win. What we need is cooperation and transformation to a new style of management.” —from The New Economics for Industry, Government, Education In this book, W. Edwards Deming details the system of transformation that underlies the 14 Points for Management presented in Out of the Crisis. The Deming System of Profound Knowledge, as it is called, consists of four parts: appreciation for a system, knowledge about variation, theory of knowledge, and psychology. Describing the prevailing management style as a prison, Deming shows applying the System of Profound Knowledge increases productivity, quality, and people's joy in work and joy in learning. Another outcome is short-term and long-term success in the market. Indicative of Deming's philosophy is his advice to abolish performance reviews on the job, to look deeper than spreadsheets for opportunities, and even to rethink how we teach and manage our schools. Moreover, Deming's method enables organizations to make accurate predictions, which is a valuable tool in today's uncertain economic climate. This third edition features a new chapter (written by business consultant and Deming expert Kelly L. Allan) that explains the relevance of Deming's management method, and case studies from organizations that have adopted Deming's System of Profound Knowledge, and offers guidance on how organizations can effectively “do Deming.”
