  Peru - A Historical and Economic...

  Peru, a nation of remarkable diversity, is a land where history and economy intertwine to shape its identity. Situated on the western coast of South America, it is home to towering Andean peaks, vast coastal deserts, and the lush Amazon rainforest. These geographic variations have influenced its people, cultures, and economic activities for centuries. From ancient civilizations to modern industries, Peru’s journey has been one of resilience, adaptation, and transformation. Understanding its past and present is key to appreciating the forces that have shaped the country’s economic and social landscape.  
  The history of Peru is as rich and complex as its terrain. Long before Spanish colonization, the region was home to advanced societies that flourished through agriculture, trade, and engineering. The Inca Empire, with its vast network of roads and innovative agricultural terraces, stands as one of the greatest pre-Columbian civilizations in the Americas. However, the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th century marked a turning point. Colonization led to profound economic and political changes, as the Spanish exploited Peru’s vast silver mines and established a rigid social hierarchy. This period set the foundation for many of the economic structures that persisted for centuries.  
  Peru’s economic evolution has been shaped by both internal and external forces. Following independence in the 19th century, the country faced political instability and economic challenges, struggling to define its national identity. The exploitation of natural resources remained central to the economy, from guano and rubber in the 19th century to copper and gold in the modern era. Industrialization and foreign investment played key roles in Peru’s economic development, but these also led to periods of inequality and social unrest.

  The Field Guide to Understanding...

  When faced with a ’human error’ problem, you may be tempted to ask 'Why didn’t these people watch out better?' Or, 'How can I get my people more engaged in safety?' You might think you can solve your safety problems by telling your people to be more careful, by reprimanding the miscreants, by issuing a new rule or procedure and demanding compliance. These are all expressions of 'The Bad Apple Theory' where you believe your system is basically safe if it were not for those few unreliable people in it. Building on its successful predecessors, the third edition of The Field Guide to Understanding ’Human Error’ will help you understand a new way of dealing with a perceived 'human error' problem in your organization. It will help you trace how your organization juggles inherent trade-offs between safety and other pressures and expectations, suggesting that you are not the custodian of an already safe system. It will encourage you to start looking more closely at the performance that others may still call 'human error', allowing you to discover how your people create safety through practice, at all levels of your organization, mostly successfully, under the pressure of resource constraints and multiple conflicting goals. The Field Guide to Understanding 'Human Error' will help you understand how to move beyond 'human error'; how to understand accidents; how to do better investigations; how to understand and improve your safety work. You will be invited to think creatively and differently about the safety issues you and your organization face. In each, you will find possibilities for a new language, for different concepts, and for new leverage points to influence your own thinking and practice, as well as that of your colleagues and organization. If you are faced with a ’human error’ problem, abandon the fallacy of a quick fix. Read this book.

  Don't Trust Your Gut - Using...

  Seth Stephens-Davidowitz is as good a data storyteller as I have ever met.” — Steven Levitt, co-author, Freakonomics 
  Big decisions are hard. We consult friends and family, make sense of confusing “expert” advice online, maybe we read a self-help book to guide us. In the end, we usually just do what feels right, pursuing high stakes self-improvement—such as who we marry, how to date, where to live, what makes us happy—based solely on what our gut instinct tells us. But what if our gut is wrong? Biased, unpredictable, and misinformed, our gut, it turns out, is not all that reliable. And data can prove this. 
  In Don’t Trust Your Gut, economist, former Google data scientist, and New York Times bestselling author Seth Stephens-Davidowitz reveals just how wrong we really are when it comes to improving our own lives. In the past decade, scholars have mined enormous datasets to find remarkable new approaches to life’s biggest self-help puzzles. Data from hundreds of thousands of dating profiles have revealed surprising successful strategies to get a date; data from hundreds of millions of tax records have uncovered the best places to raise children; data from millions of career trajectories have found previously unknown reasons why some rise to the top. 
  Telling fascinating, unexpected stories with these numbers and the latest big data research, Stephens-Davidowitz exposes that, while we often think we know how to better ourselves, the numbers disagree. Hard facts and figures consistently contradict our instincts and demonstrate self-help that actually works—whether it involves the best time in life to start a business or how happy it actually makes us to skip a friend’s birthday party for a night of Netflix on the couch. From the boring careers that produce the most wealth, to the old-school, data-backed relationship advice so well-worn it’s become a literal joke, he unearths the startling conclusions that the right data can teach us about who we are and what will make our lives better. 
  Lively, engrossing, and provocative, the end result opens up a new world of self-improvement made possible with massive troves of data. Packed with fresh, entertaining insights, Don’t Trust Your Gut redefines how to tackle our most consequential choices, one that hacks the market inefficiencies of life and leads us to make smarter decisions about how to improve our lives. Because in the end, the numbers don’t lie.
