Blue Hole
Poetry. Winner of 4th annual, Furniture Press Poetry Prize, selected by Elizabeth Robinson. "Kate Colby's poems unfurl like a complex melody. You wander through the day with them, following the loop of tune. 'Everything might already exist, ' she writes, 'but it hasn't all been found.' Here, perceptions open and develop within harmonic patterns. These poems both frank and delicate form the medium of discovery. If the 'head is a holey bag, ' those holes look out onto the universe as much as absorb it. Put another way, this poetry isn't just memorable, it embeds itself in the reader and germinates. Colby's robust intelligence and her vulnerability make for a poetry that has durable, if evolving, meaning. As the poet herself writes, creation 'exhausts its impetus, but traces tendril out.'" Elizabeth Robinson"

Improve
Improve: The Next Generation of Continuous Improvement for Knowledge Work presents lean thinking for professionals, those who Peter Drucker called knowledge workers. It translates the brilliant insights from Toyota's factory floor to the desktops of engineers, marketers, attorneys, accountants, doctors, managers, and all those who "think for a living." The Toyota Production System (TPS) was born a century ago to an almost unknown car maker who today is credited with starting the third wave of the Industrial Revolution. TPS principles, better known as lean thinking or continuous improvement, are simple: increase customer value, cut hidden waste, experiment to learn, and respect others. As sim...
Blue Hole Back Home
In a time when America was well beyond the Civil Rights era, Shelby Lenoir Maynard discovered, in a simple gesture of extending friendship to the new girl in town, just how deep ignorance--and hatred--can burn.
Blue Hole Back Home
In a time when cross burnings and men in white hoods appeared to be a thing of the past, a small town confronts a kind of hate it thought had long since died out... Shelby Lenoir Maynard, nicknamed Turtle, has never much trusted girls her own age, spending her days instead with her brother and his pack of friends. But when a mysterious Sri Lankan girl of Moorish descent moves to town, Turtle invites her to their secret haven: the Blue Hole. Turtle could not have imagined how much that simple gesture would alter the rest of her life, or the lives of those she loves. As tensions rise, it becomes clear there are those in Pisgah Ridge who reject the presence of anyone different-and those who would welcome the new refugee family. In just one summer-in a collision of love, hate, jealousy, beauty and a muddy swimming hole-everything changes.

Embedded Software
Among the various types of software, Embedded Software is a class of its own: it ensures critical missions and if wrongly designed it can disturb the human organization, lead to large losses, injure or kill many people. Updates are difficult and rather expensive or even impossible. Designing Embedded Software needs to include quality in the development process, but economic competition requires designing less expensive products. This book addresses Embedded Software developers, Software Quality Engineers, Team Leaders, Project Managers, and R&D Managers. The book we will introduce Embedded Software, languages, tools and hardware. Then, we will discuss the challenges of Software Quality. Software Development life cycles will be presented with their advantages and disadvantages. Main standards and norms related to software and safety will be discussed. Next, we will detail the major development processes and propose a set of processes compliant with CMMI-DEV, SPICE, and SPICE- HIS. Agile methods as well as DO-178C and ISO 26262 will have specific focus when necessary. To finish, we will promote quality tools needed for capitalization and reaching software excellence.
Agile Management
If you have tried to implement Agile in your organization, you have probably learned a lot about development practices, teamwork, processes and tools, but too little about how to manage such an organization. Yet managerial support is often the biggest impediment to successfully adopting Agile, and limiting your Agile efforts to those of the development teams while doing the same old-style management will dramatically limit the ability of your organization to reach the next Agile level. Ángel Medinilla will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of what Agile means to an organization and the manager’s role in such an environment, i.e., how to manage, lead and motivate self-organizi...
