The Commercial Real Estate Revolution: Nine Transforming Keys to Lowering Costs, Cutting Waste, and Driving Change in a...

As it currently operates, the commercial real estate construction industry is a disaster full of built-in waste. Seventy-percent of all projects end over budget and late. The buildingSMART Alliance estimates that up to fifty-percent of the process is consumed in waste. Almost every project includes massive hidden taxes in the form of delays, cost overruns, poor quality, and work that has to be redone. Building new structures is a fragmented, adversarial process that commonly results in dissatisfied customers and frequently ends in disappointment, bitterness, and even litigation.The industry must change--for its own good and that of its customers. But while the industry has tried to reform itself, it can't do it alone. Real change can only come from business owners and executives who refuse to continue paying for a dysfunctional system and demand a new way of doing business.

A Beginners Guide to Practical Astrology Robson Vivian E.

Most introductory astrology books, such as this one, are content to teach you the ABC's of astrology: Planets, signs, houses, aspects, pretty much in that order. You're then congratulated that, by the time you reach the end of the book, you can look up the individual pieces and spit out canned interpretations, by rote. Vivian Robson (1890-1942, a man, by the way), expected better. Here is an example: "Having found the significator of the matter concerned interpret all aspects to it as things and people affecting it. Suppose Jupiter were chief significator of money and afflicted by Saturn. We should judge that money matters would be hampered by poor conditions, depressing surroundings, ill-health, or whatever Saturn signified in that horoscope. In other words, we should give Jupiter the chief consideration as significator of the matter enquired into, and interpret the action of Saturn in

Slate Star Codex Essays: Volume II Alexander Scott

They are written in various styles, including conversations, stories and something close to rants. Volume II contains 35 essays written between 2015 and 2017.If Scott wrote his own intro about them, he might have said:You will probably disagree with many of these essays. That's okay. Some of them are even wrong, in the sense that I made a mistake or I misunderstood something. Some of them are really hard to understand, because I'm exploring an unfamiliar topic. Some of them are just jokes.But I think if you read all of them, there will be quite a lot that will be true and useful to you.I have been writing about this stuff online for years, but this is the

City and Empire in the Age of the Successors: Urbanization and Social Response in the Making of the Hellenistic Kingdoms...

In the chaotic decades after the death of Alexander the Great, the world of the Greek city-state became deeply embroiled in the political struggles and unremitting violence of his successors' contest for supremacy. As these presumptive rulers turned to the practical reality of administering the disparate territories under their control, they increasingly developed new cities by merging smaller settlements into large urban agglomerations. This practice of synoikism gave rise to many of the most important cities of the age, initiated major shifts in patterns of settlement, and consolidated numerous previously independent polities. The result was the increasing transformation of the fragmented world of the small Greek polis into an urbanized network of cities. Drawing on a wide array of archaeological, epigraphic, and textual evidence, City and Empire in the Age of the Successors

The Knowledge Machine: How Irrationality Created Modern Science Strevens Michael

Michael Strevens's "provocative and fascinating" (Jennifer Szalai, New York Times) investigation of science asks two fundamental questions: Why is science so powerful? And why did it take so long for the human race to start using science to learn the secrets of nature? The Knowledge Machine's radical answer is that science, by nature, calls on its practitioners to do the irrational. By willfully ignoring religion, theoretical beauty, and especially philosophy, scientists embrace an unnaturally narrow method of inquiry, channeling unprecedented energy into observation and experimentation. Rich with vivid historical examples and widely acclaimed, Knowledge Machine overturns many of our most basic assumptions about scientific

Prisnost

Brzopotezne veze postale su uobičajene u našem današnjem društvu koje je izgubilo korijene, koje je manje vezano za tradicionalni ustroj obitelji i više prihvaća usputan seks. No istovremeno se pojavljuje osjećaj kako nešto nedostaje — prava prisnost . Ova značajka nema nikakve veze s fizičkom prisnošću, iako je seks jedan od mogućih ulaza. Za prisnost je daleko važnija volja razotkriti naše najdublje osjećaje i ranjivost, te imati vjeru da će se druga osoba prema njima pažljivo ponašati. Volja da se preuzme rizik i postane prisan s nekim mora biti utemeljena na unutarnjoj snazi koja zna da nećemo pretrpjeti nikakvu trajnu štetu čak ni ako druga osoba ostane zatvorena, čak ni ako izda naše povjerenje. U ovom obzirnom i suosjećajnom vodiču Osho nas postupno vodi kroz strahove od prisnosti i tome kako se suočiti s njima, nadvladati ih i razvijati sebe i naše odnose koji će se temeljiti na otvorenosti i povjerenju.. Osho poziva čitatelje da preispitaju i oslobode se nametnutih sustava vjerovanja i predrasuda koji ih ograničavaju da uživaju u životu i svom njegovu bogatstvu. Londonski Sunday Times opisao ga je kao jednog od "tisuću najvažnijih ljudi 20. stoljeća", a Sunday Mid-Day (Indija) izabrao ga je među desetoricu koja su promijenila sudbinu Indije uz bok s Gandhiem, Nehruom i Buddhom. Više od desetljeća nakon njegove smrti 1990., utjecaj njegova učenja i dalje se širi i dopire do svih koji traže istinu u gotovo svakoj zemlji na svijetu.
