O que os números escondem: 10 regras para aprender a decifrar informação e compreender melhor o mundo
by Tim HarfordOS NÚMEROS, QUANDO USADOS PELAS PESSOAS CERTAS, TÊM O PODER DE MUDAR O MUNDO. NOVO LIVRO DO AUTOR DO BESTSELLER O ECONOMISTA DISFARÇADO, TIM HARFORD, O QUE OS NÚMEROS ESCONDEM 10 regras para aprender a decifrar informação e compreender melhor o mundo «Um livro brilhante que nos ensina a ser cépticos sem sermos cínicos.» Professor Hetan Shah British Academy E se alguém lhe dissesse que existe uma ferramenta que lhe permitiria ver o invisivel? Poderia usá-la quando lê as notícias, para distinguir o que é importante do que é acessório, servir-se dela para perceber o seu lugar no mundo e na História, entender de onde viemos e para onde poderemos estar a caminhar. Poderia até usá-la para ser um consumidor mais consciente, levar uma vida mais saudável, votar de forma mais crítica. Enfim, uma ferramenta que contribuísse para que fôssemos pessoas mais sábias e perspicazes. O mundo seria mais nítido, como se estivéssemos a usar um par de óculos com raios-X. E se alguém lhe dissesse que essa ferramenta é a estatística? As estatísticas são uma parte do nosso mundo e da nossa vida. Cruzamo-nos com elas nos jornais e nas redes sociais, usamo-las em conversas entre amigos e para argumentar uma posição sobre determinado tema. No entanto, nunca duvidámos da sua veracidade tanto quanto agora. A estatística não é nenhum jogo de espelhos ou uma ferramenta manipuladora e manipulável usada para nos atirar areia para os olhos acerca da realidade das coisas. Pelo contrário, ajuda-nos a ler a realidade com maior clareza. As estatísticas, as boas estatísticas, ajudam-nos a ver coisas acerca do mundo e de nós mesmos que não poderíamos ver de outra forma. Com o rigor e bom humor a que já nos habituou, Tim Harford entra sem medos no mundo dos números e traz para a narrativa as vidas de formidáveis personagens como o falsificador de arte que enganou os nazis, a stripper que se apaixonou pelo congressista mais famoso de Washington e outros detectives de dados famosos, como John Maynard Keynes, Daniel Kahneman e Florence Nightingale. Através de 10 simples regras, com uma regra de ouro adicional, O que os números escondem ajuda-nos a manter a necessária presença de espírito acerca de nós mesmos, um aguçado sentido crítico e um nível saudável de cepticismo acerca da forma como os números são produzidos e apresentados, pois só assim poderemos olhar à nossa volta e ver, com uma clareza inédita, como o mundo faz sentido. Os elogios da crítica: «Numa altura em que a verdade é posta em causa, este é um livro poderoso, convincente e indispensável.» Caroline Criado Perez «Só Tim Harford para fazer da estatística do quotidiano algo tão fascinante e divertido.» Bill Bryson «Uma leitura lúcida, perspicaz e fundamentada. Deveria ser leitura obrigatória para todos os políticos e jornalistas - embora todos retiremos deste livro enorme prazer pela forma como ilumina qualquer sombra de dúvida e dissipa a névoa da ilusão.» Stephen Fry «Sábio, humano e, acima de tudo, esclarecedor. Ninguém explica estatística e números tão bem quanto Tim Harford.» Matthew Syed «Um génio a contar histórias que iluminam o mundo em que vivemos.» Malcolm Gladwell «Num mundo onde nos preocupamos constantemente com informações falsas, Harford escreveu um livro brilhante que nos ensina a ser cépticos sem sermos cínicos e a compreender que as estatísticas não são assustadoras, antes um tesouro inestimável para compreender a nossa sociedade.» Professor Hetan Shah, director da British Academy

Observing Children in the Primary Classroom: All In A Day (Routledge Library Editions: Education)
by Richard MillsIn a sequence of observations of six children aged 5-11 in six different state schools this book offers a slice of classroom life, a microcosm of the educational scene. Since the book was first written there have been many changes in the curriculum, structure, governance and funding of British primary schools, as well as in the language used to describe these changes. But Observing Children in the Primary Classroom remains as valid now as earlier, as a lively and entertaining indicator of children’s daily school experience. We see the reception class of an infants’ school through the eyes of Mike, a lively five-year-old traveller boy. Six-year-old Rashda, a girl of Asian heritage, grapples with English as a Second Language at her multi-ethnic city school. Slow-learner David finds school life rather overpowering, despite receiving expert extra help. Lucy, eight, is a star in everything she does at her Roman Catholic school, while Lorraine, one year older, is cheerful but utterly bewildered. Finally, Peter, organises his work in an open-plan setting and makes some surprising choices.
Obsolete: An Encyclopedia of Once-Common Things Passing Us By
by Anna Jane GrossmanA cultural catalog of everyday things rapidly turning into rarities—from landlines to laugh tracks. So many things have disappeared from our day-to-day world, or are on the verge of vanishing. Some we may already think of as ancient relics, like typewriters (and their accompanying bottles of correction fluid). Others seem like they were here just yesterday, like boom boxes and CDs. We may feel fond nostalgia for certain items of yore: encyclopedias, newspapers, lighthouses. Other items, like MSG, not so much. But as the pace of change keeps accelerating, it&’s worth taking a moment to mark the passing of the objects of our lives, from passbooks and pay phones to secretaries and skate keys. And to reflect on certain endangered phenomena that may be worth trying to hold on to—like privacy, or cash. This thoughtful alphabetized compendium invites us to take a look at the many things, ideas, and behaviors that have gone the way of the subway token—and to reflect on what is ephemeral, and what is truly timeless.

Occasions
by Kate Spade<P>Every occasion calls out for something extra, whether it's flowers you set on the table, foods to honor a special gathering, or the selection of music. <P>For both hostess and guest, consideration of those around you is among the most important qualities for any enjoyable occasion. A smile and sense of humor are also essential, and before the canapés and night lighting a good hostess is ultimately defined by a welcoming and gracious demeanor. <P>In Occasions, designer Kate Spade invites you into her world of easy, festive entertaining, where the emphasis is not on "the perfect meal" but on having "the perfect time." It's a world where laughter and conversation at dinner parties are encouraged and where spilled red wine on the couch is no reason to stop the music. <P>As Kate says, "Making your guests feel at home is truly an art and it's one worth cultivating." Any occasion begins with preparation, and at the outset Kate describes such basic components as lighting (votive candles are a must); table linens, flatware, and glassware; flowers (trimmed short and tightly massed); even bedding for overnight or weekend guests. Party shopping lists, hors d'oeuvres and cocktail favorites, and dinner party menus are all included. <P>An "Alphabet of Special Events," from baby showers to tailgate picnics, is both anecdotal and useful for would-be hostesses everywhere. Whether you entertain a lot or a little, and whether your style is casual or formal, Occasions, with more than 230 charming watercolor illustrations, is a handy and fresh approach to the subject, a book to be treasured today and over the years. <P>Above all, at any gathering "hospitality makes for infectious fun."
Occupational Diseases in the Construction Industry (ISSN)
by Imriyas Kamardeen Abid HasanDespite occupational diseases in construction contributing to a significant proportion of fatalities, and permanent and temporary incapacities, they have not gained as much attention as occupational injuries from practitioners and researchers.

The research underpinning the development of the book applies empirical analyses of real-world occupational disease data for the construction industry alongside a detailed review and meta-analysis of literature pertinent to risk factors and methods and strategies to prevent and/or control occupational diseases in construction.Knowing the riskiest diseases and occupations for construction workers, along with organisational and personal risk factors, is critical to optimising risk management efforts. This book should be of interest to students, researchers, and practitioners in construction management, occupational health and safety, and risk management.
