Teamwork and projects are at the heart of the approach Karl Smith uses in teaching students of all levels. While knowing that it isn't easy for students to work effectively in project teams or for faculty to organize and manage them, Smith has been convinced through personal experience in the classroom that the potential for extraordinary work from teams makes it worth the effort. In writing Project Management and Teamwork, his goals for the reader were as follows: for he or she to understand the dynamics of team development and interpersonal problem solving; to identify strategies for accelerating the development of true team effectiveness; to understand the critical dimensions of project scope, time, and cost management; to understand critical technical competencies in project management; and to explore a variety of "best practices" including anticipating, preventing, and overcoming barriers to project success. The assumption is that projects and teamwork are a central part of engineering work in the world outside the classroom.

Written by former soldier and police officer Karl Smith, it offers no-nonsense advice and can set you on the path to recovery.Karl is one of the UK’s leading hypnotherapists. He has developed a form of rapid treatment called Kinetic Shift which gets fantastic results.

I have tried to make it as accessible and easy to use as I can, so here is a quick guide to steer you through.

MATHEMATICS: ITS POWER AND UTILITY, Tenth Edition, combines a unique and practical focus on real-world problem solving allowing even the least-interested or worst-prepared student to appreciate the beauty and value of math while mastering basic concepts and skills they will apply to their daily lives. The first half of the book explores the POWER and historic impact of mathematics and helps students harness that POWER by developing an effective approach to problem solving. The second half builds upon this foundation by exploring the UTLITY and application of math concepts to a wide variety of real-life situations: money management; handling of credit cards; inflation; purchase of a car or home; the effective use of probability, statistics, and surveys; and many other topics of life interest. Unlike many mathematics texts, MATHEMATICS: ITS POWER AND UTILITY, Tenth Edition, assumes a basic working knowledge of arithmetic, making it effective even for students with no exposure to algebra. Completely self-contained chapters make it easy to teach to a customized syllabus or support the precise pace and emphasis that students require.
