It feels real, down to the longhouse with barrel-chested men drinking mead and singing. I found this book to be extremely helpful when I started in retail in 1990. All birds have them, but they are only part of the story. Retailing terminology is used throughout the book which made it easy for me to draw parallels between the book and the way my company does business. But they should be a more updated version available now.. As a teacher, it will be extremely useful!. By way of specific example, his references to the liturgical (Church) modes being used `to create different emotional responses to plainsong, from happiness to tears, tenderness to anger' are ill-founded. The book's use as a reference tool is greatly aided by a 9-page subject index and a 12-page Scripture index.An excellent resource for Bible college students, seminarians, and laypeople..

In The Unfinished Revolution, Dertouzos unmasks the deficiencies of our present systems and makes a compelling case for "human-centric computing," which has the potential to dramatically reduce our techno-aggravation, while improving our productivity and effectiveness. As in his previous works, Dertouzos connects his strong vision of the near future with practical ways computer users and designers can help create that future. Written for people who use computers, and for the technologists who design and build them, Dertouzos's latest work clearly lays out a vision of human-centric computing. Do you sometimes feel you're serving the computers and other techno-gadgets in your life, rather than them serving you? If so, you have prestigious company in Michael L. He goes on to offer vignettes that show how human-centric computing, when implemented, may improve health care, commerce, disaster control, medicine in developing countries, financial services, and even play. WiIn The Unfinished Revolution, he outlines five key technologies that will help us do this and offers an exciting vision of how human-centric computers could alter the way we live and work in the Information Century.. Using a computer should be as easy and productive as driving your car. But today's systems are oblivious to our needs and demand even more attention and work from us as they swell in numbers, complexity, and features.Michael Dertouzos argues that we must shift the focus of information technology away from machines and back to people
