Think about it: Does it make sense to try solving a problem using the same kind of thinking that caused the problem in the first place? Unfortunately, this happens all too often. In Creative Solution Finding, Gerald Nadler and Shozo Hibino, authors of the groundbreaking book Breakthrough Thinking, offer an entirely new way for finding solutions: Full-Spectrum Thinking. This approach presents new principles and a new process for creating and restructuring solutions."Nadler and Hibino have taken traditional Western problem solving to task by introducing a new total approach to solution-finding that has unlimited potential for today's policy setters in any field."—Joe Weller, President and CEO, Nestlé USA, Inc."Creative Solution Finding offers a new thinking paradigm for our times that is as elegant in its clarity as it is profound in its potential."—Jon C. Madonna, Chairman and Chief Executive, KPMG Peat Marwick, Certified Public Accountants

John Farrell

In this volume, John Farrell shows that political utopias--societies with laws and customs designed to short-circuit the foibles of human nature for the benefit of our collective existence--have a perennial opponent, the honor-based culture of aristocracy that dominated most of the world from ancient times into early modernity and whose status-based competitive psychology persists to the present day. While utopias aim at equality, the heroic imperative defends the need for personal and collective dignity. It asks the utopian, Do we really want to live in a world without struggle, without heroes, and without the stories they create? Because the utopian dilemma pits essential values against each other--equity versus freedom, dignity versus justice--few who confront it can simply take sides. Rather, the dilemma itself has been a generative stimulus for classic authors from Plato and Thomas More to George Orwell and Aldous Huxley. Farrell follows their struggles with the utopian dilemma and with each other, providing a deepened understanding of the moral and emotional dynamics of the western political imagination.

Sometimes our understanding of our universe is given a huge boost by one insightful thinker. Such a boost came in the first half of the twentieth century, when an obscure Belgian priest put his mind to deciphering the nature of the cosmos. Is the universe evolving to some unforeseen end, or is it static, as the Greeks believed? The debate has preoccupied thinkers from Heraclitus to the author of the Upanishads, from the Mayans to Einstein. The Day Without Yesterday covers the modern history of an evolving universe, and how Georges Lemaître convinced a generation of thinkers to embrace the notion of cosmic expansion and the theory that this expansion could be traced backward to the cosmic origins, a starting point for space and time that Lemaître called "the day without yesterday." Lemaître's skill with mathematics and the equations of relativity enabled him to think much more broadly about cosmology than anyone else at the time, including Einstein. Lemaître proposed the expanding model of the universe to Einstein, who rejected it. Had Einstein followed Lemaître's thinking, he could have predicted the expansion of the universe more than a decade before it was actually discovered.
