Brian Tracy - Goals


Brian Tracy - Goals

How to Get Everything You Want-Faster Than You Ever Thought Possible

Though goal-setting is often over intellectualized, achievement expert Brian Tracy makes the process come to life as an essential ingredient for any type of personal development. He’s been refining these ideas for 20 years, and no important insight is overlooked. Tracy’s extraordinary thinking is always expressed in practical action steps. Listeners don’t get bogged down with anything not immediately useful to the quest. The focus is on clarity, definition, and doing whatever it takes to move toward your important desires. In every word listeners will hear Tracy’s urgency and his heartfelt wish that none of us give up on the path to worthwhile goals, whatever they may be.

Design Life of Structures



The whole area of durability, integrity and quality control of structures is starting to be taken very seriously by the construction industry. Central to this is the design life concept, which looks at the materials used, methods of construction, safety factors, maintenance and repair, and change of use, all from a holistic viewpoint. This new book is based on a recent symposium, where leading experts met to discuss this issue and formulate a strategy. In addition, experts from other industries (e.g. aerospace, nuclear), where the design life concept is well established, provided invaluable insights into the problems and benefits of implementing this approach. In total, thirty short contributions are presented in this book, which represents the present state of the art in this field. These are logically structured into five sections, and at the end of each section there is an additional contribution summarising the dialogue or discussion at the symposium - a way of presenting instant feedback to the ideas presented in the contributions.
