Agility a Necessity.......2001-10-01
Agility a Necessity: I read this book while working in Malaysia and had the time to reflect on the two business worlds I have experienced in the USA and Asian Pacific Rim. The books brings to mind that taking an organization and moving its mentality is like trying to get a huge oil tanker to make a 180 degree turn.... not an easy task. Mr. Dove clearly states in the book the why, the need and the expectations for survival and how to shift ones business view from stagnated status quo to an adaptive and agile environment. The books content is not the type that you just breeze through and whip together a program to initiate change. Instead, you have to take the time to read, step back and understand where you are at and what it will take to define the change. In the book, Mr. Dove gives several examples and templates on how to evaluate and redefine your business environment. I would not recommend this book to those who want to remain in a lazy business environment and hope that the cash flow continues until they retire. This book is for those that are tough enough to step forward, make a difference and do the homework to drive some agility into their business environment. Of course...it does not matter if you are in Asia or the USA...this book is most applicable where ever you are in this world!
Practical Breadth.......2001-05-11
You know, original thinking in business books is rare, so it is something to celebrate when something new and useful -- even paradigm busting comes around.
Rick Dove is something of an Abraham Lincoln of the Agility movement, having been there from the very beginning. So part of what you'll get here is the maturest ideas that have been put into practice from the small community of original researchers. The Abe metaphor carries into the fact that Rick has chosen to focus his intellect on practical breadth. His approach is rational and understandable: he speaks the language that real managers use, and he uses the type of useful conceptual devices apparent in the clever title.
My own book on Agility ("The Agile Virtual Enterprise") takes a different approach: focusing on a few high payoff, hard problems of interest to advanced implementors. It probably does better as a second book on agility, after one has become convinced. I wish this book had preceded mine in publication -- it did so as far as the legacy of many of the ideas: Rick's ideas were shared early in the game with other, concurrent researchers.
Check it out. It is accessible, with many case studies. And these aren't the headline type of "Chinese food" examples, but the kind that dig in and actually turn the cases inside out. It has tools that you can use now, that are applied in these case studies to show you how and why they work.
All that's rare enough, but the most valuable element here is the original thinking. If you are not exposing yourself to original thinking of this type -- well, you're just not a manager.
A tri-level business pattern.......2001-05-08
I am both biased and surprised. Biased because I was involved in some
of the experiences on which this book is based and because I reviewed
parts of the manuscript. Surprised because, knowing the focus was on
real world pragmatics by a guy who has pioneered on the factory floor,
I simply did not expect the span of coverage that emerged when all the
chapters were brought together. This book is about how to make
factories more productive. But also it is about how to make
businesses more responsive and more profitable. Further, it is about
how to facilitate proactive learning by all employees. What a concept
- letting everyone help make their enterprise successful. In a few
pages Response Ability shows you more about knowledge management than
most authors can muster in a whole book. Further, Response Ability
shows how all three aspects of a sustainably successful enterprise fit
together, each reinforcing the other, through a framework and module
architectural concept. Of course, the reason all this works so well
is that all is based on principles (clearly explained) and vetted by
results. Results count. And with this book Response Ability is a
result that every alert leader can create.

Book Description
Soil Biota, Nutrient Cycling and Farming Systems is a timely reference volume that explores the relationship between soil biota and environmental and agricultural practices. It addresses topics such as agroecosystems structure and function, cycling of nutrients and soil contamination, use of soil invertebrates as soil bioindicators, application of organic matter to soil, and impact of high-input agriculture to sustainable agriculture. The book will be important for anyone studying sustainable agriculture, agroecology, soil interacting processes, crop science, environmental contamination, and landscape ecology.
Book Description
This book combines cutting-edge findings in neuroscience with examples from history and the headlines to introduce the new science of cultural biology, born of advances in brain imaging, computer modeling, and genetics. Doctors Quartz and Sejnowski show how both our noblest and darkest traits are rooted in brain systems so ancient that we share them with insects. They then demystify the dynamic engagement between brain and world that makes us something far beyond the sum of our parts.
The authors show how our humanity unfolds in precise stages as brain and world engage on increasingly complex levels. Their discussion embraces shaping forces as ancient as climate change over millennia and events as recent as the terrorism and heroism of September 11, and offers intriguing answers to some of our most enduring questions, including why we live together, love, kill -- and sometimes lay down our lives for others.

Some interesting points about how our minds work.......2007-02-12
This book describes some of the more interesting functions of the human brain. I found it fascinating that our brains share some basic functions with the brains of insects. The authors take on nature vs. nurture, which is fun. We all know at this point(hopefully) that we are the result of both, which the book states many times. No big controversy, I don't think. There are a couple of poor arguments against evolutionary psychology, but otherwise Quartz and Sejnowski take a middle of the road stance. What I enjoyed most about this book was learning about the various ways in which the brain operates in different people. A lot of attention goes to the prefrontal cortex and those chemicals involved in 'reward systems,' which I liked learning about. If you have an interest in psychology and nature vs. nurture, and if you can stomach one or two feeble arguments when they pop up, then you'll enjoy this book, as I did, because there's plenty of good stuff in here. As a bonus, you will learn all about the lurid sex-lives of bonobos!
In This Book, Nurture Trumps Nature.......2005-09-21
The past 10 years have generated more knowledge about the brain than all prior years of history combined. The authors compile intriguing findings from many scientific disciplines (brain imaging, genetics, computer modeling, psychology, neurochemistry, etc), and give readers their take on the development, organization and ongoing remodeling of the human brain.
They entertain us by comparing the emotional and enthusiastic Tony Robbins (motivational speaker), the analytical and stoic Mr. Spock (Star Trek), and the morose and neurotic Woody Allen. Each most likely has a deficiency or excess of serotonin, norepinephrine or dopamine in specified brain areas, dictated by the genes and modified by environmental influences. They prescribe Prozac for Spock.
Lee Carlson provides a superb review of additional highlights, therefore, I will add to the mix a few comments:
"Liars, Lovers, and Heroes" is a misleading title in that it does not give an accurate hint as to the book's contents. At every possible opportunity, the authors evaluate their data from the point of view of the relative contributions from Nature vs Nurture. The vast majority of scientists these days consider them both important - to the extent that it's hard to imagine them apart from each other. These authors, however, consistently grant Nurture more credence. In the process, the authors criticize evolutionary psychology (a Nature oriented approach to human behavior) and advocate a new discipline, cultural biology. This discipline would stress the plasticity of a neuronal system which is always ready to be remolded by new experience.
Data from psychological studies is softer than that of physics and is subject to more interpretation. A scientist of the "Nature in more important" persuasion could make the same data support a more deterministic view without much massaging.
Criticisms: First, the ineptly-named chapters lack cohesion, as if the authors had stacks of reference papers, divided them into similar categories - then tried to make cohesive chapters out of the new stacks. Although the subject matter is interesting, one idea frequently flows poorly into the next. At the end of a given chapter, sometimes I thought, "Now what the Hell WAS that?" Second, although each chapter has a number of topics that attract attention, most topics are treated with only the most cursory scientific discussion with little or no documentation. There is, however, considerable opinion and speculation. This leaves the book suitable mainly for the casual science audience.
In conclusion, with smatterings of science, these authors offer their analysis of brain and personality development. Normal people obsess about finding patterns to make sense out of life. Schizophrenics overdo the same adaptation, constructing grand plots and delusions. One of life's secrets which may never be completely decoded is the complexity of the brain.
A fascinating and readable discussion of neuroscience.......2005-02-13
Explaining the field of cultural biology and the evidence from neuroscience that supports it, the authors have written a book that is accessible to all readers, regardless of their background. Every page gives a fascinating look at the causes/motivations behind human behavior and the authors argue convincingly for their thesis that this behavior has both environmental and genetic origins. They also include ample references for the reader who wants to pursue the subject in more detail.
The authors do not hesitate to embed their discussion of cultural biology in the historical backdrop in which it arose. As the authors report, some of the early research in the subject was met with harsh criticism, as for example the reaction against the book on sociobiology by E.O. Wilson. The vituperation leveled against Wilson by prominent intellectuals has no place in scientific debate and should not be engaged in under any circumstances.
The ability to image the brain and to model it with sophisticated computational tools has led to more knowledge about it in the last ten years than all of previous history, the authors argue. Brain imaging techniques such as MRI, PET, and optical topography have given experimental support for theories of the brain, giving much more valuable information that is needed to understand various diseases and abnormalities of the brain. Philosophical speculation and rhetoric have been eliminated in favor of careful scientific analysis and measurements, fortunately.
The book is packed full of interesting examples and surprises, and space does not permit a detailed review of these, but a few of them include: 1. The fact that the brain can detect and respond correctly to regular patterns in the environment without a person's conscious awareness of them. Experiments illustrating this are discussed in the book. 2. Neural network models of the basal ganglia indicate that it learns in essentially the same way as the brain of a bee. 3. The fact that the brain functions at different time scales, depending on the problem that it is presented with, from milliseconds all the way to minutes. This wide gap in processing time no doubt reflects evolutionary pressures that optimized the brain to prioritize some problems relative to others. 4. The suggestion that the anterior cingulate in humans may be the site of free will. 5. The suggestion that the "area 10" region in the front of the prefrontal cortex is the origin of our sense of self and our self-awareness. 6. The fact that half of the cortex is devoted to visualization. 7. The experimental evidence that indicates that environmental stimulation induces the maturing of brain cells in the hippocampus. 8. The fact that the brain is 90% of its final size at age five, and keeps growing until adolescence. 9. The rise of the "neural constructivist" view that the brain uses information from the world to build itself. Called "self-organization" by those who work in the field of dynamical systems, the constructivist point of view holds that the interaction with the world is a special type of learning that changes the brain and assists in building it. The authors refer to the brain/environment interaction as "constructive learning", and believe that the slow time scales needed for cortical development optimizes the influence of the world on the human brain, and thus make being human possible. The more time the brain has to develop, the likelihood of helpful inputs from the world to guide the construction of highly complex neural circuits increases. The result of this is a mind that can deal efficiently and accurately with the complexities of human existence. 10. The evidence that the development of the brain is non-uniform, but rather occurs hierarchically. The portions of the brain dealing with sensory information develop earlier than those that are responsible for the encoding of more abstract information. 11. The reason for suicidal behavior lies in the prefrontal cortex, which is also involved in mental disorders such as schizophrenia and depression. 12. The origin of drug addiction being in the ventral tegmental area of the basal ganglia. 13. The effects of serotonin and its manufacture in the brain by a group of neurons called the dorsal Raphe nucleus. Interestingly, despite being a small cluster of neurons, it is able to influence billions of neurons in the cerebral cortex. 14. The TD-Gammon learning machine and its ability to teach itself backgammon. The authors believe that the TD-Gammon machine exhibits real machine intelligence, and it is the opinion of this reviewer that they are quite correct in asserting this. 15. The origin of human personality as being from the anterior cingulate cortex, which uses previous experiences in order to construct the appropriate cognitive and emotional responses to novel situations. Attention to difficult problems is correlated with high activity in the anterior cingulate. 16. The fact that the male and female brains are the result of hormones, such as testosterone. The male brain becomes "masculinized" under the influence of testosterone, but only indirectly: the brain converts testosterone into estrogen, interestingly. The authors are careful to point out that testosterone and estrogen do not act at all places in the brain, and that sexual identity has its origin mostly in the hypothalamus. 17. The suggestion that it is the concurrent release of opiates and the oxytocin that produce the sensation of orgasm. 18. The origin of romantic love as being in the various chemical processes of the brain, and the experiments involving transgenic mice that supported this viewpoint. 19. The evidence from neuroscience that supports the "Aristotelian" conception of human nature, i.e. that family ties, friendship, and trust are more characteristic of humans than antisocial or individualistic behavior. Humans need to identify with something larger than their private existence, the authors argue. 20. The neuroscientific explanations for involvement in cults and for conformity to groups. 21. The authors' view of "constructive intelligence", and how it is at odds with the modern "IQ" version of intelligence.
contemporary thoughts on human interaction - brain science........2004-06-28
This is a great book, that gives a solid argument against evolutionary psychology's rigid and rapidly outdated theorised argument that our genes determine our nature.
Liars, Lovers, and Heroes and the discipline that it adheres to - Cultural Biology, explains that culture is a precursor to our evolution tract, that at times can go against evolutionary determinism. In the sense that our brains build the determined path to evolve. That we are not essentially hard-wired with mental capabilities, nor can we sustain on primitive gene like impulses. The authors Steven Quartz, Terrence Sejnowski explain, human adaptation is linked to brain chemistry; that if we lose a limb, or other body function, our brain resources other parts of the body to compensate. That brain damage is far more prevalent in our society, that leads to cultural problems, such as murder, murderous cults and even mass hysteria. Which is important to understand, that evolutionary psychology falls short in explaining the details, which are the most important in our human biology.
Liars, Lovers, and Heroes reveals the hypocrisy and the inconstancy of Evolutionary Psychology's gender differences, especially the ever changing cultural pressures that confront us. Why is cultural genital mutilation so highly valued in countries consumed with cultural identification? Chapter 4 explains the problem with relying on evolutionary psychology's connection that cultural identity lies within reproductive desires. That if clitoris removal occurs, it is done without any genetic purpose - that its a purely a cultural restraint against women, which could be argued enforced by religious dominance in cultural behaviour. How religious/cultural motivated ceremony's (such as clitoral removal) can be justified using evolutionary psychology logic,is something that evolutionary psychology must be struggling to answer, since according to evolutionary psychology theory, that all our actions are based on replicating our genes.
The authors go on in later chapters, and explain the complex connection that culture and cultural identity have huge impacts of how we define our existence. As the brain is constantly up dating, and renewing thoughts an actions, and adapting to new perceptions. Steven Quartz, Terrence Sejnowski , also go on to explain the aggression in humans, is not always a need to exercise superiority over other humans from a genetic or competitive instinct. Which is highly dangerous for evolutionary psychology to make assumption's that most "male" aggressive traits are based on genetic impulses. Liars, Lovers, and Heroes, explains that babies act more aggressively at a more rapid rate, than adults. Although not as physically devastating as a full grown adult, Cultural Biology dismiss the notion that enhanced aggression is solely a male testosterone trait.
The end chapters and the afterword (which was written after September 11), reveals some fascinating incite into eugenics and its impact of industrialised society. That the negative of eugenics, has lead to presumption of intellectual capabilities - by using simplistic IQ tests. According to the authors, this has lead to the expectation that our society has inherited, and praised, racist, class and intellectual divisions. To insure industrial productively. Not to mention huge health problems, under the pretext, that as humans we continue to learn; that our minds are not meant for mundane, or tedious work practises. As eugenics suggested, some were born with it, and some weren't. Incredible backward thinking, yet still with us. And dismissed appropriately within the book
The afterword which was written a month after September 11. Which was fascinating and insightful, even though it was written so soon after that tragedy.
The authors expressed that alienation, and cultural isolation can lead to mental breakdown, that leads to identifying with extremist, and destructive, self destructive conformist views. That class and educational status had nothing essentially to do with the profile of the hijackers. Which is to say that our culture now is creating even more isolation aspects, and that is transcending over class, and educational so called superiority. Considering that one of some of the hijackers when middle class, and well educated.
I recommend Liars, Lovers, and Heroes, to anyone who is interested in cultural biology, and brain science.
False Advertising.......2004-05-15
Liars, Lovers and heroes
(What the new brain science reveals about how we become who we are)
:: Speaks in very professional sounding voice::
This book reviewed nature vs. nurture and how evolution and genes may predispose us to a certain personality. It discussed how enormously complex the connections between genes and behavior that make humans what they are.
:: Cuts the crap and talks in real voice::
I would not recommend this book to anyone. The title leads us to believe that this would be a really interesting book full of great tips on how to improve our personality and what we are doing wrong that makes us a liar and not a lover or a hero.
The truth is, this book had almost nothing to do with human personalities and more to do with responses mice had to flashing light patterns or why a fly would turn left or right when it sensed danger. This very educational, and yellow book, was set up so that each chapter had an unnecessarily long paragraph at the beginning explaining what it was about to explain, even though it could have been summed up in two to three sentences. There were also lots of unneeded metaphors added to these paragraphs that seemed to me like they were put in just to make the author sound more clever or for the book about nothing to seem really long and important. (I¡¯ve written many essays that were made by taking one paragraph and turning it into two pages. I know filler when I see it, which is why I should get back to the point¡¦)
My brain is like a Swiss army knife? A collection of special gadgets? Replete with hundreds of metal corkscrews and cognitive tweezers? DUH! I just wasted a whole minute reading a paragraph with sentence after sentence telling me how my brain was like a Swiss army knife. Leave that to a poetry book man, not a scientific one.
¡°Francis Crick¡¯s intuition told him that the connections between neurons were a key to understanding the brain.¡± Good job genius. That wasn¡¯t your intuition. It¡¯s called common sense.
This book must be good for what I call math-people. They are really book smart and have great memories but lack any sort of common sense. This book is basically pointing out common sense theories about the brain and the justifying them. Then giving elaborate stories about various scientists¡¯ lives and how they experienced the result of whatever brain process they were discussing it the chapter.
This book had many good ideas about what could possibly be causing this reaction or that reaction. It had examples of a few studies that have been tested on specific things like subconscious pattern-remembering but a lot of it was a bunch of ¡°what ifs¡± and ¡°it could bes.¡± I found myself wanting to skip over many parts because it would explain the same idea more then once. Most of What they were saying I had heard before and didn¡¯t learn a lot of new stuff. Also, a lot of their ideas I didn¡¯t completely agree with.
I¡¯m going to give you an example of a chapter in this book. Chapter three ¡°how to make a human¡±
It starts out comparing a brain to a computer. WOW! GOSH MR.PHD QUARTS, I¡¯VE NEVER THOUGH OF IT THAT WAY! (This analogy takes five pages of obvious statements about the similarity between computers and brains.) Then it goes into the similarity between us and chimps. (This takes two pages)It does though, give an interesting story about how a family raised a chimp along side their son and the son started to act more like a chimp than the chimp acted like a human. As for example, the 17 month old son would give the chimpanzee-food-call when hungry instead of simply asking for food.
This, also, is mostly obvious because an intelligent animal can always be trained to act less intelligent than it actually is, but a stupid animal can never be trained to act smart.
At this point I was wondering how any of this has to do with making a human let alone a liar, lover or hero. Fortunately though, I have figured out that most of this book really doesn¡¯t have much to do with anything but I keep reading for the grade.
If you were to skim through the next sub chapter you would come across scientists trying out the idea that neurons might actually have blueprints inside of them that tell them exactly what to do like this is some new discovery. ::Bangs head against the wall in pursuit of figuring out how these guys managed to get PhDs:: I¡¯m going to give you guys a hint. Listen closely now. IT¡¯S CALLED DNA. Even Mrs. Sautter knows that, don¡¯t cha Mrs. Sautter? Maybe they should have taken your class. This book was printed in 2002 and they hardly even talk about DNA having much to do with it besides how similar ours is with monkeys.
I¡¯m going to stop going through the chapter now because I think you have a good enough idea of what this book consists of. Also for the reason that this book report is already a page too long. Anyway, I hope I get a good grade on this¡¦ Even though the book deserves an F.
