The Seven Secrets of How to Think Like a Rocket Scientist Explains the methods that rocket scientists use—expressed in a way that could be applied in everyday life. The book illustrates the methods (the 7 secrets) with anecdotes, quotations and biographical sketches of famous scientists, ideas from sci-fi, personal stories and insights, and occasionally a bit of space history. The author reveals that rocket science is just common sense applied to the extraordinarily uncommon environment of outer space and that rocket scientists are people, too.
In this important study Ernst Cassirer analyzes the non-rational thought processes that go to make up culture. He demonstrates that beneath both language and myth there lies an unconscious "grammar" of experience, whose categories and canons are not those of logical thought. He shows that this prelogical "logic" is not merely an undeveloped state of rationality, but something basically different, and that this archaic mode of thought still has enormous power over even our most rigorous thought, in language, poetry and myth.

Welfare, Work and Poverty (Civil Society)
This is a very well written book in the sense of being grammatically
correct and very persuasive in the logic of their arguments. I take
issue with the overall tone of the book in one particular but
fundamental area to which I shall return later. In the case of welfare
reform, it is clear that all western industrialised societies are now
facing a fundamental truth. The idea that public expenditures can keep
on growing, financed through taxation to maintain nationalised industries
and socialised programmes is one which is well past it's sell by date.
Even today, over four years since this publication was produced, the
paragon of socialized provision,Sweden, is learning that they cannot squeeze ever more money out of the private, productive sector or even individual consumers.
That being said, social programmes, often despite the best of
intentions have repeatedly been shown to have unitended consequences
which are far reaching in their impact and which often create increased
demands on the welfare state.
