The story of my search to find a computer for my right-brained wife. Since I’m left brained, this was perhaps a futile attempt. Yet I pursued it. What I found was what makes right- and left-brained people ask the same questions while asking different questions. I’m left brained. I want to know the story of a computer before I buy it. But to me, its story means, What’s it like right now? What are its features? To my wife its story means, What was its history? What will it be like in the future? I explore each of the main questions one might ask when purchasing a computer and show how left-and right-brained people mean different things when they ask that question. I then go through a computer system I designed in an attempt to design a right-brained computer. Then I analyze where it came close to meeting its mark and where it fell short. I throw in some computer humor along the way.
Most of us see the world as a mess of Problems. There’s Global Warming, or more politically correct, Global Climate Change, or more technically correct, Comprehensive Climate Chaos. And besides, that last one is alliterative – each word starts with the same letter. There’s overpopulation. There’s increasing homelessness (houselessness) and poverty. There’s disparity, job loss, and permanent unemployment. The ocean’s becoming a garbage dump, the Great Barrier Reef is dying, and the seas are overfished. There are wars. The political parties are at each other’s throats. And there are too many guns in the hands of dangerous criminals. I could keep going. However, you are probably already suffering from mild depression having just read the above. And I’m now a basket case. Yes, the world is full of Problems. Notwithstanding, the world is also full of Solutions. It’s hard to find Solutions in the news. The media focuses on Problems. For some reason they think that will drive readership / viewership up. So you really have to search for any good news. And Solutions are even harder to spot. In spite of that, good things are happening in the world. Enough Electric Vehicles are being sold in the US that in 2019, incentives for buying a Tesla started to be phased out. Renewable Energy is on the rise. Even though the world population continues to rise, several countries are seeing population decline. Miracles are being discovered to help restore the Great Barrier Reef and to extract plastic from the ocean. Solutions are even being unearthed which can prevent Comprehensive Climate Chaos. Feeling a little better? Great! It’s daybreak. It’s time for us to start seeing a world of Solutions Galore. It’s time to jump onto the Solutions Bandwagon. For every Problem, there are a myriad of Solutions. Quite often, you only need to discover one. The purpose of Solutions Galore is to present methods to Solve Problems. There are Solutions in this book, mostly by way of example. But that is not the main purpose of this book. The purpose is to help you more easily Create Solutions to any Problem.
Lucid, accessible introduction to the influential theory of energy and matter features careful explanations of Dirac's anti-particles, Bohr's model of the atom, and much more. Numerous drawings. 1966 edition.
Everybody has a different notion of what Heaven is like. In the Heaven where Jane lives, everybody is expected to use The Will to do things. Using the Will, people in Jane’s Heaven merely have to think to accomplish anything. They never have to get their hands dirty touching anything. Jane, though, wants to touch things. She wants to feel them in her hands. And because she refuses to use her will, she falls from societal acceptance and then she falls from Heaven. But falling from Heaven may be her saving grace.

Designed for children who are strongly visual, who learn all at once through images, are drawn to patterns, rely on body motions, who have difficulty with memorization, and who are considered right-brain learners, this resource teaches the multiplication and division tables based on the students' learning strengths rather than taxing their learning weaknesses.
Is your website blah or bleh? Does it reflect who you or are company truly is? On second thought maybe you just want it to project a certain persona. How can you achieve this? More importantly, how can you achieve this easily? My book Expressive Websites, tells you several ways that you can make your website more expressive. Maybe you want colors or emojis.

Red would surely discourage them from this pursuit.
Leaders of all kinds, in all fields, need to be methodical and logical, but also strategic, innovative, and intuitive. Yet the two different styles require different modes of thinking, or what author Mary Lou Décosterd describes as shifts to right brain, or left brain, thinking. Those who operate in what she explains as the left brain mode develop strong logical, rational, and analytical abilities, but they may downplay the value of right brain thinking, which spurs intuition, subjectivity, and creativity. And those who operate primarily in the latter mode lose the value of the former. A leader who is habitually a right-brainer sees only the big picture, rather than its parts, is creative but not usually analytical, is an emotional far more than logical. So who is more effective? Veteran consultant Décosterd shows how those with maximum success are leaders who understand both styles and have the ability to switch between the two at certain key moments to broaden their overall effectiveness. In the language of leadership, this pragmatic guide provides an all-encompassing view of how to maximize brain power and get to next-level leadership impact. Through case examples, simple assessment and unique learning tools, this book takes the reader through a new process for examining his or her current leadership style and skill sets, and framing a plan for greater success. Décosterd explains how, through use of popular leader exemplars, leadership examples and concise steps and summaries, every person can, at virtually any stage of personal and professional accomplishment, become a more consummate leader.
