Hardback. Zustand: Good. The Christmas Doll is a holiday picture book told by the New York Times best-selling author of Christmas Jars, Jason F. Wright, and is based on a real-life childhood story of a simple treasured doll owned by a girl raised in poverty in the 1940s who went on to become a billionaire businesswoman and owner of the NBA Utah Jazz. Gail Saxton grew up in a humble home in Utah in the postwar years of the 1940s. To make ends meet, her parents created two rental apartments in their home and opened their doors to other families. One Christmas, the only gift Gail received was a doll the kind with hair that girls could shampoo, comb, and style. Gail loved her doll. It had a pretty face, lovely curls, and a nice dress. It was a prized possession, and one she played with often and cherished. Sadly, over time, the doll's hair became matted, and the clothes were torn and frayed. Gail thought her beloved doll, once treasured so dearly, had become tattered, ordinary, and no longer a source of joy. It was eventually abandoned on a shelf in her bedroom. With another Christmas Day approaching, Gail's mother lamented to one of their tenants that the family had no money for gifts. Touched by the spirit of the holiday, the kind tenant offered to renew and refresh Gail's forgotten doll. She made a new dress, refurbished the hair, and restored the doll as if it had just come from the store. On Christmas, Gail opened the gift and was thrilled to discover a beautiful doll. She thought it was brand new, and only much later learned that she actually rediscovered her old doll, revitalized with the help of a friend. The Christmas Doll teaches a wise lesson about the true meaning of the holiday. Christmas isn't about a singular moment or a special gift; it's about the miracle of Jesus to make old things new, revitalize our lives, and bring out the best in humankind to care for one another.

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Why are ignorant people so confident? How do politicians utilize conflation to influence groups? Why do scientists fall for similar mistakes? How is complexity managed? Why does culture effortlessly shape what we can do? This book argues: Because of approximations Incompleteness pervades our interactions with the world. Its effects on individual and group behaviors can foster creativity or create invisible prisons. We navigate incompleteness with approximations and, too often, end up on the 'dark side'. Fuzzy on the Dark Side resembles a tourist's trip much more than a scientist's expedition, and is for anyone interested in a broader understanding of an individual's mental life and how identities, incompleteness, and social contexts shape it. As we examine approximations and think about their origins and the problems they can create, the reader will encounter glimpses from physics, biology, philosophy of science, management, marketing, politics, systems theory, fuzzy logic, geometry, design and creativity, culture, and neuro-science and more. Fuzzy on the Dark Side is a book about incompleteness, creativity, thinking, identities, and systems. Roughly - it is an approximation of the 'Approximate Thinking' super idea.
