- The fifth discipline : the art and practice of the learning organization / by Senge, Peter M.(CARDINAL)200719;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 391-409) and index.Pt 1. How actions create our reality ... and how we can change it. 'Give me a lever long enough ... and single-handed I can move the world' -- Does your organization have a learning disability? -- Prisoners of the system, or prisoners of our own thinking? -- Pt 2. The fifth discipline : the cornerstone of the learning organization. The laws of the fifth discipline -- A shift of mind -- Nature's templates : identifying the patterns that control events -- The principle of leverage -- The art of seeing the forest and the trees -- Pt 3. The core disciplines : building the learning organization. Personal mastery -- Mental models -- Shared vision -- Team learning -- Pt 4. Prototypes. Openness -- Localness -- A manager's time -- Ending the war between work and family -- Microworlds : the technology of the learning organization -- The leader's new work -- Pt 5. Coda. A sixth discipline? -- Rewriting the code -- The indivisible whole -- Appendixes. The learning disciplines -- Systems archetypes.An MIT Professor's pathbreaking book on building "learning organizations"--Corporations that overcome inherent obstacles to learning and develop dynamic ways to pinpoint the threats that face them and to recognize new opportunities. Not only is the learning organization a new source of competitive advantage, it also offers a marvelously empowering approach to work, one which promises that, as Archimedes put it, "with a lever long enough ... single-handed I can move the world."- Subjects: Organizational effectiveness.; Teams in the workplace.;

- Eureka! : 50 scientists who shaped human history / by Grant, John,1949-author.(CARDINAL)162890;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Galileo, Einstein, Curie, Darwin, Hawking--we know the names, but how much do we really know about these people? Galileo gained notoriety over his battle with the Vatican, but did you know that this "father of modern science" was also an accomplished lute player? And Darwin of course discovered the principle by which new species are formed, but his bold curiosity extended to the dinner table as well. (And how many people can say they've eaten an owl!) In Eureka! John Grant--author of Debunk It!, Discarded Science, Spooky Science and many others--offers fifty vivid portraits of groundbreaking scientists. From lutes and owls to astronomy and evolution, Eureka! explains how these scientific geniuses have shaped our understanding--and how they spent their free time as well.- Subjects: Biographies.; Pythagoras.; Hippocrates.; Euclid.; Archimedes.; Tolomei, Claudio, 1492-1555.; Hypatia, -415.; Brahe, Tycho, 1546-1601.; Bacon, Francis, 1561-1626.; Galilei, Galileo, 1564-1642.; Kepler, Johannes, 1571-1630.; Harvey, William, 1578-1657.; Newton, Isaac, 1642-1727.; Leibniz, Gottfried Wilhelm, Freiherr von, 1646-1716.; Châtelet, François, 1925-1985.; Linné, Carl von, 1707-1778.; Lomonosov, Mikhail Vasilʹevich, 1711-1765.; Hutton, James, 1726-1797.; Watt, James, 1736-1819.; Lavoisier, Antoine Laurent, 1743-1794.; Jenner, Edward, 1749-1823.; Dalton, John, 1766-1844.; Smith, William, 1769-1839.; Faraday, Michael, 1791-1867.; Darwin, Charles, 1809-1882.; Lovelace, Ada King, Countess of, 1815-1852.; Semmelweis, Ignác Fülöp, 1818-1865.; Mendel, Gregor, 1822-1884.; Pasteur, Louis, 1822-1895.; Riemann, Bernhard, 1826-1866.; Maxwell, James Clerk, 1831-1879.; Curie, Marie, 1867-1934.; Meitner, Lise, 1878-1968.; Einstein, Albert, 1879-1955.; Wegener, Alfred, 1880-1930.; Schrödinger, Erwin, 1887-1961.; Hubble, Edwin, 1889-1953.; Florey, Howard, Baron Florey, 1898-1968.; Payne-Gaposchkin, Cecilia, 1900-1979.; Heisenberg, Werner, 1901-1976.; Carson, Rachel, 1907-1964.; Chandrasekhar, S.
