Today, as individuals and as a society, we are faced with highly complex challenges. When we don't solve them correctly they rapidly become crises. This book explains how we can use complex systems research to solve complex problems in: * healthcare * education * military conflict * ethnic violence and terrorism * international development. Highly complex problems cannot be solved by any one individual. Traditional organizations, traditional forms of control and planning are not effective. Making Things Work draws on insights from complex systems research about emergence, complexity, patterns, networks and evolution. It explains how effective organizations form through cooperation and competition, and how to make non-hierarchical distributed organizational structures effective at their tasks.

No pocket
The shirt is nice. My son is 6' and 220 lbs. It fits him perfectly. This will be baggy on a thin guy. This is perfect for someone who is thick. I am very disappointed it doesn't have a pocket. My son specifically wanted a pocket. The pic shows a pocket! Yes the fine print in the description says no pocket, but isn't that what pics are for so I don't have to read the 1000 word description?

Very Nice Dress Shirt Will Buy Again
Size: 16"-16.5" Neck 34"-35" Sleeve, Color: White
I am happy with this purchase, it came in a day and was packaged nicely. The shirt looks exactly as expected, a nice clean white, looks sharp and quality, and feels nice too. It’s got just the right amount of stretch without being too much, fits great, very true to size, and overall love the shirt. My only complaint is it did show up a bit wrinkled, which leads me to believe it’s not exactly wrinkle free the way I had hoped, but it is minimal. Overall, a great value for the price, feels comparable to a lot of my shirts 2 to 3 times the price.
