Book Description
This book presents the latest work in the area of naturalistic decision making (NDM) and its extension into the area of macrocognition. It contains 18 chapters relating research centered on the study of expertise in naturalistic settings, written by international experts in NDM and cognitive systems engineering. The objective of the book is to present the reader with exciting new developments in this field of research, which is characterized by its application-oriented focus. The work addresses only real-world problems and issues. For instance, how do multi-national teams collaborate effectively? How can surgeons best be supported by technology? How do detectives make sense of complex criminal cases? In all instances the studies have been carried out on experts within their respective domains. The traditional field of NDM is extended in this work by focusing on macrocognitive functions other than decision making, namely sense-making, coordination and planning. This has broadened the scope of the field. The book also contains a theoretical discussion of the macro-micro distinction. Naturalistic Decision Making and Macrocognition will be relevant to graduate students, researchers and professionals (including professionals and researchers in business, industry and government) who are interested in decision making, expertise, training methods and system design. The material may be used in two ways: theoretically, to advance understanding of the field of naturalistic decision making; and practically, to gain insight into how experts in various domains solve particular problems, understand and deal with issues and collaborate with others.

Book Description
Beautiful Litchfield County, Connecticut in the 1960’s. A rural, small New England town where Ellen and her teenage son, Mark are adjusting to life after the untimely death of her beloved husband and Mark’s father, John Rutledge. Doc Elliott is a country veterinarian and old friend of Mark’s parents whose concern, loyalty and love for them is evident from the beginning. This is a good read for all whose four legged friends are an integral part of their lives. The many touching and often amusing interactions of animals with humans are intelligently and compassionately told. Doc Elliott has a significant impact on the lives of his animal patients, their human companions and most importantly Ellen’s and Mark’s lives. The angst and tragedy swirling around them only solidifies their strength and faith in each other. Their inherent goodness appears naïve in contrast to the bold faced cruelty and evilness of Frank Biddle. Into the quiet lives of this group of friends and family he appears. A calculating man who has come seeking revenge and retribution. The growing sinister presence of a man who has learned to carefully script his speech and actions to avoid causing suspicion, culminates in a spiraling tension of action and nerves.

Book Description
In the final Pink Carnation novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Mark of the Midnight Manzanilla, Napoleon has occupied Lisbon, and Jane Wooliston, aka the Pink Carnation, teams up with a rogue agent to protect the escaped Queen of Portugal. Portugal, December 1807. Jack Reid, the British agent known as the Moonflower (formerly the French agent known as the Moonflower), has been stationed in Portugal and is awaiting his new contact. He does not expect to be paired with a woman—especially not the legendary Pink Carnation. All of Portugal believes that the royal family departed for Brazil just before the French troops marched into Lisbon. Only the English government knows that mad seventy-three-year-old Queen Maria was spirited away by a group of loyalists determined to rally a resistance. But as the French garrison scours the countryside, it’s only a matter of time before she’s found and taken. It’s up to Jane to find her first and ensure her safety. But she has no knowledge of Portugal or the language. Though she is loath to admit it, she needs the Moonflower. Operating alone has taught her to respect her own limitations. But she knows better than to show weakness around the Moonflower—an agent with a reputation for brilliance, a tendency toward insubordination, and a history of going rogue. READERS GUIDE INCLUDED
