Resources for lifelong learning and independent living

Welcome to MindFire, a place where people come to learn and grow.

As you will discover, this is a thinking person's web site. The products offered initially include books on important topics, such as leadership and change in the 21st century, the practical application of statistics to decision making, and the pursuit of a doctoral degree. Each of these books, written for thoughtful practitioners, attempts to bridge the gap between theory and practice by embracing both and striking a balance between them.

Although the primary initial focus of MindFire is on products for doctoral students, in the works are books, courses, reports, and seminars on a wide range of subjects for lifelong learners, including international living, leadership, management science, nature, and leisure activities.

We hope that MindFire will become a place that people who believe the mind's fire needs kindling throughout life, both by formal education and informal, self-directed learning, will visit regularly.
