Book Description

In The Sum of Our Discontent, David Boyle has put his finger on the problem with our numbers-obsessed societies: The trouble is that numbers have proliferated and that it is sometimes hard to tell the difference between a good statistic and a bad one and that therefore numbers have become meaningless and in the process reduced humans to be coldly calculating. Boyle points out that the important things in life, such as wealth, success, rehabilitation and wisdom, are intangible, and because they are intangible, they cannot be measured and so are not used as a standard of happiness. Boyle asks how can businesses measure what they are worth when value is increasingly ephemeral - encompassing things that go way beyond the traditional balance sheet? The trouble is, he says, is that numbers cannot capture the complexity of human life....the know-how, ethics, and self-esteem or kindness. Boyle emphasizes that the counters are taking over our lives. For centuries, humankind has attempted to divine meaning from life through numbers.

Customer Reviews:

Read to understand the complete picture.......2006-05-20

Its obvious that Mr Boyle has issues with measurement, and anyone who has any background in to the history of measurement will fully recognize the issues that he is highlighting. Although perhaps he has overly sensationalized some of the issues, it is clear that measurement is not the cause of the problem, But the fact that people as a whole do not understand the power and limitation of measurement, and many want to use measurement as a substitute for intellectual capacity and as an absolution for bad ethical and improper decision making. Read this book to balance your view and you will understand that measurement is an important and invaluable tool that complements our other mental faculties, but it's important to have more than one tool in your toolkit!
The key paragraph in the book is at the beginning of Chapter IV. "...numbers are an absolutely vital tool for human progress. They mean we can test hypothesis, seek out the fraudulent and inefficient. They give us control over our unpredictable world ..", ".., but they are not the final answer, and they dull out good sense and intuition."

No.Keynes was not against the use of numbers in science.......2004-11-17

David Boyle has written an excellent book that would merit five stars were it not marred by a major misreading of the approach to probability,statistics,mathematical expectations,decision theory,and economics supported by John Maynard Keynes(Boyle,pp.131-149).Boyle has fallen for the canard that Keynes was against, or opposed to ,the use of measurement(quantification using numbers)in analysis or public policy except for very general descriptive statistics.Boyle appears to be basing his conclusions,not on what Keynes actually wrote,but on the confused and confusing claims of the historian,Robert Skidelsky.Skidelsky has no training in mathematics,probability or statistics.In fact,Skidelsky is basing his assessment of Keynes's views on quantification on the highly misleading and error filled reviews of Keynes's A Treatise on Probability(1921)written by F P Ramsey in 1922 and 1926.Supposedly,Keynes did not believe that numbers could be used to estimate probabilities except in very rare situations.The opposite is the case.Keynes's approach is that it takes two numbers,not one,to estimate a probability.Keynes is the founder of the interval estimate approach to the estimation of probabilities.The same conclusion would hold,obviously, for the calculation of mathematical expectations. Two expectations,a lower bound and an upper bound,would be required.Keynes supports the use of "inexact numerical approximation"(Keynes's own description of his approach made in chapter 15 of the TP)and not the use of exact,precise,definite single number answers which usually turn out,in economics and business analysis,to be exactly,precisely and definitely wrong.

There's definately an issue in there...But you need to dig.......2004-03-08

The author of this book, and from what i gather he's a journalist, has somehow managed to undermine his own effort in this venture.
The fact is that there's surely a big issue to be discussed in investigating the ever-eluding "happiness" in the way numbers dominate our lives and have done so for quite some time.

But while the issue is there and it's waiting for someone to pick it apart and expose it for the big travesty we've made out of it, Boyle (the author) instead delivers a dull, borderline pulseless book, that demands a very dear effort from the reader.

It's a flaw seen in many other books too: a not-so-charismatic author who has grasped the issue he wants to delve into but lacks the talent to lay it out in a way that will keep you reading. What you should be expecting are pages upon pages with platitudes, flashbacks in history with blitz biographies about people who introduced scientific counting, more platitudes, a dry style of writting, but worst of all (and i'd be willing to swallow the rest if it wasn't for that) no solution offered.

David Boyle does make clear, albeit tiresomely, that numbers and counting have only contributed to making us further unhappy and are simply adding to more confusion, added manipulation from politicians and corporations and the lengthening of our illusions as we try to solve problems by measuring and countermeasuring them. He does show that actually a lot of the things we measure are indeed not measurable and he does add that other things that should be -maybe- measured are not.

But that's where the contradiction begins to unravel and there's no saving the ship afterwards. If the solution is measuring "other" things then we'd have some sort of schizzophrenia where we try to solve one problem by replacing it with another of actually similar nature. That doesn't really sound too convincing or promising.

There's several bits of data and trivia included in this book which at points make it worthwhile but in the end most of it is lost amid the pointlessness of the rest.

Ultimately, what you have when you're done is more food for thought which is not actually inspired directly by the book itself but rather indirectly. There's an issue in there somewhere (about this you'll feel certain) but the irony is that "Tyranny in numbers" almost challenges you to write another book yourself and actually propose something. That can't be a good sign, now can it?

Great premise, flawed conclusion.......2002-06-27

While Boyle dishes up some fascinating mini-biographies, and some solid (if sometimes poorly-organized and repetitive) examples of how, when we measure too much, we measure nothing completely and little of that well, the book falls apart toward the end, as we get to hear about how civilization will be saved if only we ... measure different things than what we're already measuring. The closer this book comes to the present, the more dated it feels.

The Counter Perspective.......2002-05-24

After 7 years in the actuarial profession and before beginning to pursue my Ph.d in Mathematics, I decided to read this book. After my experience in corporate america, I hoped that a critical evaluation by an expert might resolve some of the conceptual "difficulties" that I encountered while still a productive member of society as measured by GNP and not a net-capital-zero, ivory-tower academic. Anyway, I was not disappointed.

This book starts slowly, but is well-structured. The background provided on Bentham/Malthus/Mills is sometimes tedious and occasionally superfluous, but mostly necessary and builds the foundational context to appreciate fully ideas presented later in the book. I think that the author includes personal details that paint a POSSIBLY unjustified mechanistic, and thus, inhuman, aspect into the personalities discussed and therefore their theory (utilitarianism). But, maybe the emphasis is necessary to accurately capture the personalities involved. Anyway, the author gets an 8 for objectivity. In my opinion, there's gotta be some polemic content for it to be interesting, otherwise you just have a textbook. He strikes a good balance.

The first half of the book discussed above answers the question "Where did all this [stuff] come from?". The latter half of the book concerns itself mainly with "How did it all come about?". Keynes and his ideas in suitable context is developed here and I personally found the content regarding him to be fascinating. He is now a permanent addition to my previously blank list of responses to the "who would you wanna have dinner with?" question. I never realized how distorted and abused his conception has become.

The remainder of the book brings us up to date and I learned a thing or two. Now, I'm going to put the most important part at the end. In order to enjoy this book at all, you have to accept one of the following two hypothesis:

(1) It is government's role to be concerned with the "general welfare" of the populace

(2) Government is going to be concerned with same regardless so at least it ought to make some sort of sense granting the false assumption (1). Whatever the heck that means. In other words, suspend reality and try to find some enjoyment in the simplistic and misguided attempts to get around the problems created by that same false assumption.

It was a good read and thought-provoking, I'm not going to spoil it anymore. I'd give it a 4.3 stars if possible, but they have us restrained to integers. Ha-ha-ha!

Book Description

This is a study of the political and economic activities of an important group of British businessmen in India between 1850 and 1960. Though denounced by Indian nationalists as the economic arm of the British Raj, the firms of these `Managing Agents' seemed unassailable before the First World War. However, during the inter-war period they rapidly lost their commanding position to both Indian and other foreign competitors. Dr Misra argues that the failure of these firms was, in part, the consequence of their particular (and ultimately self-defeating) attitudes towards business, politics, and race. She casts new light on British colonial society in India, and makes an important contribution to current debates on the nature of the British Empire and the causes of Britain's relative economic decline.

Download Description

Hermeneutic-phenomenological interviews were conducted to explore community-based extension workers' (CBEWs') previous work and training experiences and how such experiences contributed to their present working relationships as partners in community development. CBEWs' responses foreshadowed challenges and problems of coordination that could have otherwise been addressed had they been considered integral elements of previous training curricula. The findings throw light on how government policies, though explicitly formulated to enhance conditions of service coordination, can be in variance with realities of coordination at the village level. Awareness of the fissure of policies and actual coordination does not refute the importance of government intervention in community development, given CBEWs' status as government employees. Rather, it is only with understanding of and familiarity with CBEWs' circumstances that such policies would truly address the challenges, problems, and possibilities of effective coordination. CBEWs' comments reflected both awareness and learned understanding of social and political complexities surrounding their work as partners in community development. Authority and interventions such as political interference, illiterate communities, enlightened communities, and passive and negative attitudes complicate their working together, resulting in problems of resistance, rejection, and other tensions that defeat the spirit of working together. Meaningful acceptance of community development as a collective undertaking needs to be backed by a deliberate unification of CBEWs through centrally organized training. Such training programs must not only illuminate the lived experiences of CBEWs as they work among themselves and with other community-based groups in the villages, but also provide opportunities for CBEWs to take active roles by engaging in activities such as placements in authentic work settings, mini-interdisciplinary groupings of CBEWs with local communities, and other team activities. There will be no end to the reservoir of learning if intentional efforts are made to incorporate local knowledge and needs, that is, immediate challenges, problems, and needs of CBEWs as they work with the local communities. Further, effective coordination requires basic skills of communication, leadership and management, personal and human relations, technical skills and relevant attitudinal orientations. The features described here are not exhaustive, but have in common the intent of making training programs truly sensitive to CBEWs' needs as partners in community development.

Book Description

This book focuses on the market dynamics in business today that are driving the development of the ASP Model and defines the core concepts of e-business. Market needs in all sizes and classes of business are driving the adoption of the ASP model by more businesses than was originally forecasted. Now, the largest software and technology companies of the world are actively pursuing the ASP model as a strong business approach. This book will define the key market drivers behind every aspect of the ASP model, including case studies to illustrate each major component. There will also be case studies of industry leading companies that describe their participation in this market. This book explores Microsoft's Office Online initiative, Oracle's Business Online stores, and the focus of AT&T's and SoftBank's role in this market. This book will delve into the collaborative tools aspect of the ASP model, which is crucial for the long-term success of this marketplace.

Customer Reviews:

Poor Price/Performance Ratio.......2001-06-09

I have just written my thesis paper on ASPs and know that there is little good literature on the topic. Therefore, I was willing to pay a bit more for one of the few books that is out on the market. In this case this is a big mistake. The promising title does not reveal the actual content of the book. The author only touches the ASP topic and does not really present more than the basics.

I can advise people to buy this book if they are looking for easy literature. For serious academic or business papers it is really not suited.

Intresting book with a focus on Small Businesses is helpful!.......2001-04-22

One of the most challenging jobs I have had to deal with is advising small businesses on just what the ASP model means to them. This book has the basis in advising companies about small businesses and what the role of an AP can mean to them. The concept of breaking out e-marketing, e-commerce and e-operations is innovative and really helps the small businessperson understand what an ASP model can do for them. I think the approach to creating a performance contract with an ASP is also very helpful. The author takes the direction of having Service Level Agreements being just the beginning. Performance incentives needs to be in place for a company to really get their money's worth out of an ASP relationship. This book was very useful in getting small businesses to understand the ASP model.

Intresting book with a focus on Small Businesses is helpful!.......2001-04-22

Interesting approach to handling the ASP Model.......2001-04-21

What's refreshing about this book is its' focus on the idea that ASPs are supposed to be business partners with their clients. I found the aspects on developing contracts over just Service Level Agreements valuable. It was worth the reading.

Focus on partnerships helpful.......2001-04-04

This book provides a great example of how to work with ASPs as partners in a business relationship. It is a very good book for guiding companies in creating a web strategy with an ASP.

Book Description

Recorded history is a finely-woven magic fabric of intricate lies about events predating the sixteenth century. There is not a single piece of evidence that can be reliably and independently traced back earlier than the eleventh century. This book details events that are substantiated by hard facts and logic, and validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources.

Customer Reviews:

Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03

Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.

Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19

Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.

Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09

There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.

For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.

Very Interesting.......2007-03-07

It is a good proposal and I believe it will mature into something even better in the future. I think it deserves to be read.

History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10

Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.

I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.

Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.

Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.

I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.

This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.
