Maximizing reader insights into project management and handling
complexity-driven risks, this book explores propagation effects,
non-linear consequences, loops, and the emergence of positive
properties that may occur over the course of a project. This book
presents an introduction to project management and analysis of
traditional project management approaches and their limits
regarding complexity. It also includes overviews of recent research
works about project complexity modelling and management as well as
project complexity-driven issues. Moreover, the authors propose
their own new approaches, new methodologies and new tools which may
be used by project managers and/or researchers and/or students in
the management of their projects. These new elements include
project complexity definitions and frameworks, multi-criteria
approaches for project complexity measurement, advanced
methodologies for project management (propagation studies to
anticipate potential behaviour of the project, and clustering
approaches to improve coordination between project actors) and
industrial case studies (automotive industry, civil engineering,
railroad industry, performing arts,...) and exercises (with their
solutions) which will allow readers to improve and strengthen their
knowledge and skills in the management of complex and (thus) risky
projects.
The beautiful illustrations in this atlas capture the spirit of the
animals shown. The videos in the app add a whole extra dimension of
knowledge and fun. Licensed from National Geographic and other
archives, they show animals as they go about their daily lives.
From the introduction: We share our planet with about nine million
animal species, from the tiniest creatures too small to see with
the naked eye, to huge elephants and whales. So far, scientists
have discovered and named less than 15 per cent of these animals
and many are dying out before we can even make their acquaintance.
In this book we introduce you to more than 500 different animals
from every part of the world.
Do you know which animal evades rattlesnakes by dancing? Or that
some squirrels can glide on the air for hundreds of feet? Or that
alligators can create their own year-round pools? Put on your best
pair of hiking boots, grab a sturdy walking stick, and explore the
wild places of the United States with this stunning guidebook! Soak
up new and shocking facts about this unexpected world of ours; pore
over captivating, detail-rich illustrations; and discover
surprising new creatures (some may be closer than you think!) every
time you open the book. From glistening, snow-packed mountain
ranges to searing deserts, this immersive and accessible guide is a
one-stop shop for outdoor adventurers, animal enthusiasts,
inquisitive minds-and anyone who listens to the call of the wild.

High feet, slow feet, fast feet, snow feet! So Many Feet introduces
young children to the great diversity in the natural world, using
feet as an accessible point of entry. The playful, rhyming main
text offers some information, but is mostly fun to read aloud. The
secondary text offers more facts about each animal and what makes
its feet so unique. The book ends by asking children whether their
feet can do all the things animals' feet can do.
