![]() ![]() This repeats a few times as things progress. The author gives a sharp tug to pull you into the book with the first chapter and then eases up. It’s a story a bit like horseriding, with the reader being the horse. As a result of having so much detail and life added to the story, it does feel long at times. Although there is a lot going on, it all ties together nicely by the end. ![]() It’s a multifaceted story that’s full of flawed, realistic individuals. Thus, the reader is investigating it as if they are the detective on the case. There are several other narrators, but never the killer. He does this by not narrating from the murderer’s perspective at all. The question we really need to answer is who did that killer grow up to be? With complex characters and a meandering path, Sveistrup guides the reader to the answer better than just about any other mystery/thriller author I’ve come across. ![]() This novel is especially outstanding because the author does tell you who the killer is almost straight from the get-go, at least who the killer -was. ![]() ![]() These include the idea that workers behave, and can be directed to behave, in a predictable way so that management can constitute a science based on a general, abstract laws. ![]() Moreover, it is not just methodological errors that are the issue it's that the fundamental presuppositions of management thinking, from its inception to present, are wrong. ![]() Stewart makes the case that many of the thinkers who were crucial to the development of management as a discipline, such as Frederick Winslow Taylor and Elton Mayo, were frauds who incorrectly generalised the results of very specific cases or just simply fabricated their results. It's the academic discipline of management, including everyone from Harvard Business School on downwards. When it comes to 'management thinking', Stewart's target isn't primarily the pop management gurus whose books you find being sold in city train stations and airport lounges. And, in fairness to Stewart, from both sides of this twin history, you also get the impression that those who engage with management, whether in theory or practice, could do with being a little more sceptical, or perhaps choose not to be. The book offers both an intellectual history of management thought and a history of his personal experience as a management consultant. ![]() ![]() Although, since he is a philosopher by training, he might prefer to be designated a 'sceptic' instead. Matthew Stewart is a cynic this is the impression you get from reading The Management Myth. ![]() ![]() ![]() She learns that shortly following her birth, her parents sent her out to sea in a skiff with the hope that she would find a better life than that of her older brother. ![]() Crow discovers a great deal about her birth family.

He says that skeptics fail to see and appreciate the social and psychological needs that are met by New Age beliefs. Them-the sense that we have a monopoly on the truth that those other people who believe in all those stupid doctrines are morons.” “The chief deficiency I see in the skeptical movement,” he writes, “is in its polarization: Us vs. Sagan’s most thought-provoking chapter offers his observation that skeptics-those who demand proof for claims rather than feel-good belief-do not fully appreciate why so many people don’t. ![]() But that is a minor quibble about a glorious book. ![]() ![]() ![]() Eric Carle passed away in May 2021 at the age of ninety-one. ![]() In 2002, Eric and his wife, Barbara, cofounded The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art () in Amherst, Massachusetts, a 40,000-square-foot space dedicated to the celebration of picture books and picture book illustrations from around the world, underscoring the cultural, historical, and artistic significance of picture books and their art form.

His songs, as pop musician Steve Miller once said, “stand and deliver”. He draws from jazz, R&B, lofi hiphop, singer-songwriter and even pop, yet always lands on his own two feet. They are small universes that explore ideas of identity, history, social discourse, and the richness of every-day life. Being a multi-instrumentalist (he plays most of the instruments on the record) gives him the advantage of crafting songs of detailed yet lush subtlety. He does it with easy humor, great grooves and a vocal delivery – direct, approachable, conversational – that leaves the impression he is singing only to you, telling your story while he tells his own. ![]() Leo himself began recording professionally when he was in his teens (Steve Miller recorded four of his songs when Leo was only 15), so there is something of a sense of continuity coursing through the project. ![]() And Sol, who appears on the track as well as a handful of others on the record, sings with a maturity that belies her youth. The title track “What’s Trending” was inspired by Leo’s 11 year-old daughter, Sol, who he says “is the ultimate trend follower, always showing me some new meme, dance or internet phenomenon, and always armed with the phrase ‘look at this, it’s trending.’” The irony of today’s trend becoming tomorrow’s fad is not lost on Leo. ![]() ![]() The rumor spreads and people start travelling to Cedarville and looking through the trash.
