Introducing the practical & inspirational guide to incorporating Kaizen & its powerful principles into ones daily life. Rooted in the two thous&-year-old wisdom of the Tao Te Ching--The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step"--Kaizen is the art of making great & lasting change through small steady increments. Kaizen is the tortoise versus the hare. Kaizen is the eleven Fortune 500 companies that significantly outperformed the market through moderate step-by-step actions. Kaizen is losing weight not by a crash diet (which more often than not crashes) but by eating one bite less at each meal--then a month later eating two bites less. Kaizen is starting a life-changing exercise program by standing--just standing--on a treadmill for one minute a day. Written by an expert on Kaizen--Dr. Robert Maurer a psychologist on the staff at the UCLA medical school who speaks & consults nationally--" One Small Step" is the gentle but potent way to effect change. Beginning by outlining the all-important role that fear plays in all types of change--and Kaizens ability to circumvent it--Dr. Maurer then explains the 7 Small Steps: how to Think Small Thoughts Take Small Actions Solve Small Problems & more. He shows how to perform mind sculpture--visualizing virtual change so that real change comes more naturally. Why small rewards motivate better than big rewards. How great discoveries are made by paying attention to the little details most of us overlook. Hundreds of examples of Kaizen at work grace the book as well as"es from W. Edwards Deming (who brought Kaizen to Japanese industry) Peter Drucker coach John Wooden & others." ...

Were the famous moon landings simulated by NASA? From the very first manned flight into orbit right up to the present day there have been serious anomalies in the official narrative of the conquest of space. Bestselling author Gerhard Wisnewski dissects the history of space travel in minute detail beginning with the first Russian missions in the early 1960s to the final American moon project of Apollo 17 in 1972 & onwards to the American landings planned in future. Using forensic methods of investigation he pieces together a complex jigsaw to reveal a disturbing picture of lies falsifications & simulations. Not only does he cast serious doubt on the possibility of humans ever having landed on the moon but he also reveals a catalogue of untruths & propaganda in the Cold War struggle for supremacy between the Soviet Union & the USA. Wisnewski produces reams of scientific evidence that calls for a reassessment of the received wisdom regarding the history of space exploration. The true story he suggests has a more sinister undertone. Beneath the guise of civilian space travel the US military has been developing fearsome new equipment & weapons which are being secretly stationed in space. The aim is to militarize the orbit around the earth with our planet & each one of us as the potential targets. It is provided with over 200 illustrations. ...

This is the tale of two men. The first is Henry Tandey an ordinary man later deemed to be a hero of the old berserk type born & brought up in Leamington Spa Warwickshire who displayed extraordinary courage to emerge from the First World War as the most decorated British private to survive the war. The second is Adolf Hitler who was highly decorated in his service to Germany in the Great War & went on to become one of the most infamous dictators in history later bringing the world to the brink of destruction during the Second World War. It seems unlikely that their fates should collide. Yet in 1938 Hitler named Tandey as the soldier who spared his life on 18 September 1918 in the aftermath of the Battle of Marcoing
- an assertion that came to the surprise of Henry Tandey himself. One Soldier & Hitler tells the story of Tandeys & Hitlers Great War the moment when their lives became intertwined
- if in fact they did -and how Tandey lived with the stigma of being known not for his chestful of medals for gallantry in service of King & Country but as the man who let Hitler live. DAVID JOHNSON is a passionate First World War historian & became fascinated by the story of Henry Tandey during a visit to Flanders Fields. He has spent many years tracing Henrys life & family to uncover the man behind the myth. He lives in Stratford upon Avon Warwickshire.
