Opiniones editoriales:Opinión:“[Hawking] can explain the complexities of cosmological physics with an engaging combination of clarity and wit. . . . His is a brain of extraordinary power.”— The New York Review of Books“This book marries a child’s wonder to a genius’s intellect. We journey into Hawking’s universe while marvelling at his mind.”— The Sunday Times (London) “Masterful.”— The Wall Street Journal“Charming and lucid . . . [A book of] sunny brilliance.”— The New Yorker“Lively and provocative . . . Mr. Hawking clearly possesses a natural teacher’s gifts— easy, good-natured humor and an ability to illustrate highly complex propositions with analogies plucked from daily life.”— The New York Times“Even as he sits helpless in his wheelchair, his mind seems to soar ever more brilliantly across the vastness of space and time to unlock the secrets of the universe.”— TimeFrom the Inside Flap"A Brief History of Time, published in 1988, was a landmark volume in science writing and in world-wide acclaim and popularity, with more than 9 million copies in print globally. The original edition was on the cutting edge of what was then known about the origins and nature of the universe. But the ensuing years have seen extraordinary advances in the technology of observing both the micro- and the macrocosmic world--observations that have confirmed many of Hawking's theoretical predictions in the first edition of his book. Now a decade later, this edition updates the chapters throughout to document those advances, and also includes an entirely new chapter on Wormholes and Time Travel and a new introduction. It make vividly clear why "A Brief History of Time has transformed our view of the universe.Sobre el autor:Stephen Hawking was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge for thirty years and the recipient of numerous awards and honors including the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Opiniones editoriales:Sobre el autor:Rachel Carson (19071964) spent most of her professional life as a marine biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. By the late 1950s, she had written three lyrical, popular books about the sea, including the best- selling The Sea Around Us, and had become the Bee Plumber 76: most respected science writer in America. She completed Silent Spring against formidable personal odds, and with it shaped a powerful social movement that has altered the course of history.Número de paginas: : 400 páginas Editor: Houghton Mifflin Company; Edición: Anniversary (22 de octubre de 2002)ISBN-10: 0618249060 ISBN13: 978-0618249060 Peso: 15.7 oz.
"La causa principal de los problemas son las soluciones". - Eric Sevareid "Cada situación, sin importar cuán compleja parezca inicialmente, es extremadamente simple". - Eli Goldratt En 2018 asistí a un curso de capacitación en París que cambió fundamentalmente mi perspectiva. Este fue el curso de seis días de H. William (Bill) Dettmer sobre el Proceso de pensamiento lógico, una metodología excepcionalmente poderosa para la definición de estrategias y la resolución de problemas, basada en los métodos del Dr. Eli Goldratt, autor de The Goal y la leyenda de la administración de sistemas, adaptado y refinado por Bill Dettmer. Hacia el final del curso me di cuenta de cómo dominar esta metodología rigurosa cambia la forma en que abordas situaciones de cualquier tipo. Le ayuda a lidiar con situaciones difíciles de una manera que pocas o ninguna otra metodología puede lograr. Logre resultados innovadores descifrando la causalidad compleja, desenterrando supuestos falsos y eliminando los conflictos causados por modelos mentales defectuosos; esto es lo que nos ayuda a hacer el Proceso de Pensamiento Lógico, utilizando la lógica clásica de causa-efecto. En este libro, se usa un ejemplo simple y cotidiano para demostrar cómo aplicar el Proceso de pensamiento lógico y cómo nos ayuda a impulsar el éxito al tomar decisiones más sólidas y racionales. El libro también contiene ejemplos prácticos de organización y una descripción general concisa del marco.
