Bøger af Michael Barnett

During his teenage summers, Michael Barnett discovered his passion lay far from the monotonous environment of a UK shipping company office where he observed the disheartened older employees.Choosing to pursue a love for the outdoors and a talent in mathematics and sciences, he embarked on a civil engineering career that took him around the globe. This first instalment of a two-part memoir spans his life and career from 1943 to 1984, detailing his adventures and professional growth from advanced studies in Chicago to diverse construction sites worldwide, including Samoa, Spain, Saudi Arabia, and more.Through journal entries and letters, Barnett shares the rich tapestry of emotions and experiences that shaped his journey.

Addiction is often triggered by loneliness, trauma, or loss, yet many traditional treatments fail to uncover the root cause, and focus instead on managing addictive behaviors--with varying degrees of success. Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) provides readers with the tools they need to heal the emotional pain and isolation that addiction desperately attempts to soothe. Readers will also learn essential skills for building a sense of belonging and safety with the ones they love--so they can lean into community and connection instead of drugs and alcohol.

"While many customer service books discuss customer loyalty, the concept of customer imprinting has never been introduced into the customer service conversation--until now. [This book] reveals why some businesses have fiercely loyal customers who will pay much more for the same goods and services instead of doing business with their competitors. Barnett demystifies the success secrets of these top customer-centric businesses so that you can infuse the main ingredients of customer imprinting into your organization. The result? You'll not only strengthen customer bonds--you'll create an amazing internal employee culture"--Publisher marketing.

The extraordinary gains in computer performance over the past two decades have been paralleled by a related growth in geospatial applications. An important reason for this proliferation is that these tools provide a convenient framework for multidisciplinary analysis and synthesis of data in environmental science, earth science, and the social sciences in particular. The value of geospatial technology for learning is not new, as for more than a decade, educators have recognized the promise of geographic geospatial technologies to support learning through inquiry across the social and natural sciences. However, only recently with the rise of easier to use geospatial technologies such as Google Earth and similar resources have educators been able to critically examine how geospatial technologies can support students in learning. In fact, the nature of geospatial technologies with its ability to allow users to examine and visualize large data sets and to discern patterns from those data presents an excellent opportunity to better understand how educators can support students in higher level thinking skills.Now is the time for a summation of this rapidly emerging field as there has been significant work examining the learning impacts of having students use geospatial technologies that is either happening now or has just reached completion. This edited book will serve to define the field of learning environment design for teaching science using geospatial technology. As such, it will identify short term and long term objectives for science, environmental, and geography educators involved in these efforts. Further, this book will be complementary to MaKinster, Trautmann, and Barnett's book Teaching Science and Investigating Environmental Issues with Geospatial Technology: Designing Effective Professional Development for Teachers. Whereas MaKinster's et al. book focuses on teacher professional development, this book will focus strictly on student learning outcomes and the design of geospatial environments for K-16 students. As a result, this book will provide a framework for future projects and research on learning in K-16 settings.
