Shakespeare's characters are real... 
The RSC is a branch of the government (a bit like MI6 but with better costumes) 
Iago is trying to destroy the world... 
And mankind's last hope is a travel agent called Martin.\nDive into a most lamentable, epic, comic, romantic tragic comedy in a world where Shakespeare's heroes and villains have been waging a secret war, after being inexplicably being brought to life over 400 years ago. If the rules of theatre are broken, it will bring about the end of the world. It all hinges on a prophecy about The Last Descendant, who has no idea about any of this until the night he meets a girl at a party...

Hierarchial Task Analysis

Hierarchical Task Analysis (HTA) is carried out by professionals who have to undertake a wide range of human factors and human resource design decisions. Using a wide range of industries and contexts to demonstrate the aplicability of HTA in various settings, the author has used straightforward and accessible case studies and examples for the reader. HTA is a method of defining goals and tasks for a particular job (using factors such as time, plant status, conditions, instructions and sequence) and then dividing each goal into 'sub goals', each with its own plan, in order to produce the most effective method of achieving the final aim. The discussion of applications will aim to reenforce general concepts of HTA as well as provide guidance on how HTA may be used. There have been articles on HTA and chapters in other books, but there has never been a book on the subject to do it justice. This will be the first.

Although it is a powerful tool, hierarchical task analysis(HTA) is often applied unsystematically or in ways that fail to unleash its full potential. An in-depth presentation of a core technique in human factors practice, this book draws on a wide range of industries and contexts to demonstrate the applicability of HTA in various settings. Providing provides straightforward and accessible case studies and examples, the author clearly delineates basic concepts and demonstrates how HTA can be applied to a number of different work contexts and in a number of different ways. The discussions of applications reinforce knowledge of general concepts and provide guidance on how HTA can be used effectively.

Description: We live in an age of global capitalism and terror. In a climate of consumption and fear the unknown Other is regarded as a threat to our safety, a client to assist, or a competitor to be overcome in the struggle for scarce resources. And yet, the Christian Scriptures explicitly summon us to welcome strangers, to care for the widow and the orphan, and to build relationships with those distant from us. But how, in this world of hostility and commodification, do we practice hospitality? In The Gift of the Other, Andrew Shepherd engages deeply with the influential thought of French thinkers Emmanuel Levinas and Jacques Derrida, and argues that a true vision of hospitality is ultimately found not in postmodern philosophies but in the Christian narrative. The book offers a compelling Trinitarian account of the God of hospitality--a God of communion who ""makes room"" for otherness, who overcomes the hostility of the world though Jesus' life, death, and resurrection, and who through the work of the Spirit is forming a new community: the Church--a people of welcome.
