Jump the Curve: 50 Essential Strategies to Help Your Company Stay Ahead of Emerging Technologies Feature

"Jump the Curve" will show how exponential trends in eight areas - computers, data storage, bandwidth, software development, gene sequencing, robotics, nanotechnology, and the advance of knowledge itself - are transforming the global economy and altering our future. The book then proceeds in a easy-to-understand (non-technical) style to describe the eight essential elements that business executives and their organisations can - and must - incorporate into their planning in order to deal with today's explosive and emerging economy including: leveraging today's technology to meet tomorrow's needs; developing counter-intuitive thought skills; tapping into the power of diversity; and, "Learning to unlearn."While scores of books from "The World is Flat" to "The Tipping Point" have done excellent jobs of explaining the effect of accelerating technologies, "Jump the Curve" defines the nature of technological change itself and shows readers how they, and their organisations can benefit from the knowledge.

The Seventh Inning Stretch: Baseball's Most Essential and Inane Debates Feature

Baseball fans are by nature philosophical creatures, prone to engaging fellow devotees of the Grand Old Game in such inherently subjective, often ridiculous, and thoroughly enjoyable debates as: Who was the best hitting pitcher of all-time? Who are the best players left out of the Hall of Fame? Which team dressed its players in the worst uniforms? What was the most lopsided trade ever? Which movie stands above all others as the best baseball flick? Who was the best female player ever? Such questions fall into a wide range of categories and are pondered during pauses in the game, happy hours at the bar, and commercial breaks at home. 

 

The Seventh Inning Stretch, by noted baseball expert Josh Pahigian, addresses (and answers!) all of the most interesting baseball arguments that fans have been engaging in for decades, and even a few they may have never stopped to consider before.
