Book excerpt: Planetymology is an illustrated introduction to the etymology - the evolution and origins of words - in the context of astronomy. It focuses on European observations of the planets; from Mercury (known to the Ancient Greeks and Romans) all the way to Pluto (discovered as a planet in 1930 and reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006). This book takes the reader on a tour of the Solar System, introducing the cosmic entities encountered on the way both as characters from Roman and Greek mythology, and as exotic worlds with alien characteristics. It traces the planets' names all the way back to words used by the first humans in Europe, and shows how they often have surprising links to familiar modern-day words. Planetymology is ideal for kids aged 8 - 15, and will be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in language, ancient history and/or astronomy. Blurb: The planets' names carry secrets...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Helpful to those tasked with managing complex environments, Projects and Complexity introduces a new way of looking at projects and fostering the culture needed to achieve sustainable results. It brings together experts from the academic, military, and business worlds to explore project management in the context of complexity theory and organizations. These experts explore a systemic and organic approach to projects that widens the scope of a project manager’s role as well as the tools and capabilities required. The book provides readers with an understanding of the roots of project management in complexity theory and the human sciences. It explores seven principles of complexity theory and applies them to project management; examining project needs and features in terms of success parameters, team and stakeholders’ perspectives, the project manager’s perspective, and the perspectives of theory and practice. Explores a new humanistic paradigm in thinking about projects and project management Illustrates the culture and philosophy of projects from a range of perspectives Outlines an interdisciplinary approach to Project Management that integrates scientific and humanistic disciplines The contributors examine cutting-edge organizational models from management research and military leadership and map them to project management. They integrate insights from various disciplines to introduce tools that are relatively unknown to project managers and leaders. The book describes a paradigm that is complementary to traditional project management and also provides you with the philosophical, general management, and complexity theory findings needed to lead successful projects in complex environments.
