O Projeto do Fantástico Resgate do Riacho: Projeto Aventuras Infantis #6 (Edição em Português Brasileiro)
Description
Ben odiava RISCO. Depois que o novo garoto da escola sofreu um acidente no riacho atrás da floresta, RISCO era tudo o que todos na escola falavam. RISCO de se machucarem no parquinho... então as crianças pararam de brincar. RISCO de escorregar durante a corrida, então todo mundo andou... devagar. RISCO disso, RISCO daquilo, em todos os lugares que você olhava. A vizinhança estava tomada pelo medo do RISCO e não se via mais um só sorriso. Estava completamente exagerado e Ben não aguentava mais. Pior de tudo, a floresta agora era uma zona proibida, porque havia o RISCO de alguém tropeçar ou cair. A casa na árvore poderia muito bem estar em outro planeta. Com o fim das aulas e o verão se aproximando rapidamente, algo precisava ser feito ou eles corriam o risco de suas férias de verão serem arruinadas para sempre. RISCO, RISCO, RISCO! Então Alice teve a ideia maluca de salvar os peixes porque eles também estavam em RISCO, mas as Crianças do Projeto não podiam nem descer até o riacho para limpá-lo! Parecia um projeto impossível. Mas então, como tinham feito o impossível antes... Nota para país / professores: Este próximo livro da série Projeto Aventuras Infantis mostra as crianças liderando um projeto de recuperação ambiental e aprendendo a gerenciar riscos.

Person
Gary M. Nelson, BSC, PMP (Gazza) is passionate about sharing knowledge and making Project Management concepts more accessible, particularly to new and aspiring Project Managers (of all ages). Said another way, he likes to tell stories to help convey complex concepts in a way that helps the concepts 'stick'. Who says learning shouldn't be fun?
Born in Calgary, Alberta (Canada), Gary moved west to B.C. at the very early age of 2, where he spent most of his formative years - aside from a 6 year stint where he learned to appreciate living in a very small town of 800 people. He then attended high school in Surrey, B.C. and went on to graduate from Simon Fraser University (BC, Canada) in 1989 with a major in Computing science and a minor in English - an odd but useful mix (a techie who can write clearly)!
Gary was tricked into becoming a Project Manager by his first manager, and has never looked back. His international experience includes projects in New Zealand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, the US and Canada, working on projects in the Telecom, Student Information Systems, Local Government and Healthcare sectors.
Having wanted to write books since high school, it took many long years of successful procrastination until he finally felt he had something useful to write about, and wrote his first book of stories in 2012...on Project Management, of all things. Next, presented with the terrifying challenge of writing for children, he enlisted his youngest sons to be the first victims (reviewers and editors) and the Project Kids series of books were born. Several years on, he is amazed to see the books being translated into multiple languages, and reaching into schools and homes around the world.
He enjoys speaking and training, has presented at numerous events and conferences and is also the author and host of Gazza's Corner Project Management Blog and Podcast.
Gary currently lives in New Zealand with his wife, three sons and two cats, and is loving every bit of it.
