Good biography of an important man
Revisado: 04-11-17
Well written and important work on an intriguing personality and an important figure in the history of the period after WWII. George Kennan played a critical role in the period after the war and the US and Europe was well served by his intelligence and capability in planning and implementing the Marshall Plan which rebuilt Europe from utter rubble.
Indeed it's hard to overestimate his importance in guiding U.S. policy.who knows where we'd be today without his. That said it's hard to understand his changing views from his containment policy to anti NATO position in his later years. If there is a flaw in this book it really leaves this question unanswered. Still it's a masterful biography of a life dedicated to public service and principled ideals. Wish we could have a G. Kennan around today. Bravo to the author in covering his life so well in this work.

George Friedman has forecasted the coming trends (politics, technology, population, and culture) of the next century in The Next 100 Years, and focused his predictions on the coming ten years in The Next Decade. Now, in Flashpoints, Friedman zooms in on the region that has, for 500 years, been the cultural hotbed of the world - Europe - and examines the most basic and fascinating building block of the region: culture.

"Du côté de chez Swann" et "Le temps retrouvé", au commencement et à la fin de l'œuvre, sont deux arches, parallèles dans leur construction et leur projet, sur lesquelles s'appuie l'immense cathédrale de "La recherche". Ce sont ces deux textes qui définissent le mieux ce qu'est l'ouvrage, l'histoire d'une vocation, la découverte du salut par l'écriture.

In The Organized Mind, Daniel J. Levitin, PhD, uses the latest brain science to demonstrate how those people excel - and how readers can use their methods to regain a sense of mastery over the way they organize their homes, workplaces, and time. With lively, entertaining chapters on everything from the kitchen junk drawer to health care to executive office workflow, Levitin reveals how new research into the cognitive neuroscience of attention and memory can be applied to the challenges of our daily lives.

Surprisingly practical
Revisado: 04-08-15
Exhaustive peon to methods of organizing both at home and in the work place with tips...."a place for everything and everything in its place". Also diverges into opinion on discipline and achievement, expertise and a bit of a slam against Wikipedia.
