Contro i numeri. Perché l'ossessione per dati e quantità sta rallentando il mondo
br. Le organizzazioni di ogni tipo, struttura e latitudine sono oggi governate da un unico grande dogma: quantificare le performance, analizzare i risultati e misurare gli obiettivi. I parametri sono percepiti come gradini necessari da percorrere nella scala del successo. Più che un approccio, secondo Jerry Muller, è diventata un'ossessione, una vera e propria tirannia dei numeri dalla quale non riusciamo più a uscire e in cui la qualità della nostra vita, del nostro lavoro e delle nostre stesse relazioni è ingabbiata in una serie di sovrastrutture che ne impediscono lo sviluppo. Viviamo nell'epoca dell'accountability, degli incentivi alle performance e della fiducia assoluta nei benefici della trasparenza. Riporre troppa fiducia nei numeri tuttavia risulta fallace, specialmente perché troppo spesso questi parametri semplicemente non sono veri, o peggio, fotografano una realtà tanto diversa quanto inattaccabile proprio in virtù della loro natura matematica. Dall'istruzione alla medicina, dal business alla politica, Contro i numeri dimostra come l'ossessione per la quantificazione potrebbe non solo portarci in direzioni sbagliate rispetto ai nostri obiettivi, ma soprattutto lontano da quello che è davvero importante.

Il trauma e la lotta per aprirsi. Dall'evitamento alla guarigione e alla crescita
brossura Le relazioni sono al centro dell'esperienza umana e alla base del trauma. Per mantenere ciò che si è rotto e ciò che è gioioso, dobbiamo affrontare le relazioni che portano con sé entrambi gli aspetti. Guarire dal trauma implica abbracciare la verità del passato - le perdite, i tradimenti, le delusioni da parte di coloro di cui ci fidiamo di più. Questo libro parla del trauma. Parla delle relazioni nelle nostre vite che feriscono e danneggiano. Parla di quelli che aiutano e guariscono. In verità, quando studiamo il trauma vediamo che lame a doppio taglio siano le relazioni. Il trauma deriva da loro. La ripresa dipende da loro. Il trauma più straziante si verifica nell'ambito delle relazioni strette, ma la ripresa non può avvenire in isolamento. Le relazioni sono il veleno e l'antidoto. Questo, in parte, è il motivo per cui osserviamo l'evitamento dell'intimità in molti sopravvissuti al trauma - con l'evitamento giunge una certa sicurezza ma il prezzo è alto.

Proceedings of People's Enquiry Into CFMETR at Nanoose Bay, B.C.
209 pages including black and white photos of selected participants. The concept of the People's Enquiry was to gather information on the implications of CFMETR by inviting a number of experts in various fields to give papers on selected topics. The idea of having an open meeting was to provide the public with the answers which were denied them when the government turned down requests to hold a public meeting. Major-General Leonard Johnson (retired), one of the three distinguished panelists, said of the Enquiry, it was "an attempt to obtain facts, to inform the public, and to influence the activities that bear on the security of the people of Canada... Defence agreements can lead with changes in strategy and technology to unforseen and unintended consequences inimical to the security of Canadians. Because they are made and implemented in secret, beyond public security, such agreements are not subject to democratic control by an informed electorate, as all agreements affecting the lives of people should be. This is especially serious where nuclear weapons are involved." Moderate wear. Unmarked. Binding sound. Nice copy. Book
