Описание: Forty years ago, Israeli psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky wrote a series of breathtakingly original studies undoing our assumptions about the decision-making process. Their papers showed the ways in which the human mind erred, systematically, when forced to make judgments in uncertain situations. Their work created the field of behavioral economics, revolutionized Big Data studies, advanced evidence-based medicine, led to a new approach to government regulation, and made much of Michael Lewis's own work possible.
Kahneman and Tversky are more responsible than anybody for the powerful trend to mistrust human intuition and defer to algorithms. The Undoing Project is about a compelling collaboration between two men who have the dimensions of great literary figures. They became heroes in the university and on the battlefield--both had important careers in the Israeli military--and their research was deeply linked to their extraordinary life experiences.
Amos Tversky was a brilliant, self-confident warrior and extrovert, the center of rapt attention in any room; Kahneman, a fugitive from the Nazis in his childhood, was an introvert whose questing self-doubt was the seedbed of his ideas. They became one of the greatest partnerships in the history of science, working together so closely that they couldn't remember whose brain originated which ideas, or who should claim credit. They flipped a coin to decide the lead authorship on the first paper they wrote, and simply alternated thereafter.
This story about the workings of the human mind is explored through the personalities of two fascinating individuals so fundamentally different from each other that they seem unlikely friends or colleagues. In the process they may well have changed, for good, mankind's view of its own mind.

Footballogy: Elements of American Football for Non-Native Speakers of English is a result of teaching American English and culture to people from other languages and cultures, and my lifelong love of American football. This book is a self-paced starter guide for America's number-one sports pastime, its heritage, and traditions from the view of a fan. People who will benefit include high-intermediate and above English-language learners as well as proficient speakers of English who learned English by way of study, not birth. Students, businesspeople, and travelers are part of this group.
American football is more than just a game. It is an experience that connects many Americans and Footballogy will connect you with this experience. Readings and light exercises in grammar and usage are intended to be useful and fun, educational and entertaining. Above all, the objectives of this book are to help us speak more skillfully and confidently about the sport and follow the action at the stadium, in print, or broadcast media. And, of course, to make friends.
To achieve its purpose, Footballogy recognizes the importance of "small talk." The metaphor, or symbol, for such casual discussions is the water cooler, where people meet and talk about matters not related to work.Whether the chat is in the break-room, around a coffee pot, or an actual water cooler, casual conversations join us on a personal level.Dale Carnegie, the well-regarded motivational expert, observed that the way to make friends and influence people is to show genuine interest in matters of concern to others. To many Americans, one of those matters is football. Since 1985, football has been America's most preferred game. It should be no surprise that the season of autumn, when the game is played, is celebrated as "football season."

Автор: Stephanie Ann Houghton; Kayoko Hashimoto Название: Towards Post-Native-Speakerism ISBN: 9811355975 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789811355974 Издательство: Springer Рейтинг: Цена: 102480.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This book probes for a post-native-speakerist future. It explores the nature of (English and Japanese) native-speakerism in the Japanese context, and possible grounds on which language teachers could be employed if native-speakerism is rejected (i.e., what are the language teachers of the future expected to do, and be, in practice?). It reveals the problems presented by the native-speaker model in foreign language education by exploring individual teacher-researcher narratives related to workplace experience and language-based inclusion/exclusion, as well as Japanese native-speakerism in the teaching of Japanese as a foreign language. It then seeks solutions to the problems by examining the concept of post-native-speakerism in relation to multilingual perspectives and globalisation generally, with a specific focus on education.
