In his sixth fable, bestselling author Patrick Lencioni takes on a topic that almost everyone can
relate to: job misery. Millions of workers, even those who have carefully chosen careers based on
true passions and interests, dread going to work, suffering each day as they trudge to jobs that
make them cynical, weary, and frustrated. It is a simple fact of business life that any job, from
investment banker to dishwasher, can become miserable. Through the story of a CEO turned pizzeria
manager, Lencioni reveals the three elements that make work miserable -- irrelevance,
immeasurability, and anonymity -- and gives managers and their employees the keys to make any
job more engaging.
As with all of Lencioni’s books, this one is filled with actionable advice you can put into effect
immediately. In addition to the fable, the book includes a detailed model examining the three root
causes of job misery and how they can be remedied. It covers the benefits of managing for job
engagement within organizations -- increased productivity, greater retention, and competitive
advantage -- and offers examples of how managers can use the applications in the book to deal
with specific jobs and situations.
Patrick Lencioni is President of The Table Group, a management consulting firm specializing in
executive team development and organizational health. As a consultant and keynote speaker, he
has worked with thousands of senior executives and executive teams in organizations ranging from
Fortune 500 companies to high-tech startups to universities and nonprofits. His clients include. AT&T,

A comprehensive introduction to today's M&A strategies
Make the Deal is a direct and accessible guide to striking a powerful M&A deal. Merging business,
finance, and law, this insightful examination of M&A strategy is designed to help you understand
M&A negotiations and the ways in which the final outcome affects your financial future. A general
overview of an acquisition agreement framework segues into a more detailed discussion of different
deal structures, including stock sales, mergers, asset sales, and complex structures, giving you the
information you need to know when each one applies best in practice. You'll gain insight into
real-world negotiations and the delicate balancing act that occurs as each party attempts to
maximize value and minimize risk, and learn the potential pitfalls that can occur. Negotiation
statistics and samples from actual contracts back the war stories throughout, and reinforce the idea
that there's no single perfect solution.
As a topic of study, M&A is constantly evolving; in practice, it changes at the speed of light. Staying
ahead of the market is the single most critical element of making the best deal, and the strategy
that worked for one deal most likely won't work for the next. Instead of simply providing a list of
strategies that have worked in the past, this book shows you why they worked, so you can tailor your
strategy specifically to your next deal.
Learn how M&A contract terms affect economic outcomes
Examine the techniques and mechanics of today's acquisition agreements
Develop a legal framework that supports your business strategy
Follow the ups and downs that arise in real-world cases
A successful M&A transaction requires both attention to detail and a big picture view, combined with
skill, intellect, and ingenuity. Make the Deal brings it all together to show you how to run the table and
come away with a win.

Your business success is now forever linked to the success of your customers
Customer Success is the groundbreaking guide to the exciting new model of customer management.
Business relationships are fundamentally changing. In the world B.C. (Before Cloud), companies
could focus totally on sales and marketing because customers were often 'stuck' after purchasing.
Therefore, all of the 'post-sale' experience was a cost center in most companies. In the world A.B.
(After Benioff), with granular per-year, per-month or per-use pricing models, cloud deployments and
many competitive options, customers now have the power. As such, B2B vendors must deliver
success for their clients to achieve success for their own businesses. Customer success teams are
being created in companies to quarterback the customer lifecycle and drive adoption, renewals,
up-sell and advocacy. The Customer Success philosophy is invading the boardroom and impacting
the way CEOs think about their business.
Today, Customer Success is the hottest B2B movement since the advent of the subscription business
model, and this book is the one-of-a-kind guide that shows you how to make it work in your
company. From the initial planning stages through execution, you'll have expert guidance to help
you:
Understand the context that led to the start of the Customer Success movement
Build a Customer Success strategy proven by the most competitive companies in the world
Implement an action plan for structuring the Customer Success organization, teiring your
customers, and developing the right cross-functional playbooks
Customers want products that help them achieve their own business outcomes. By enabling your
customers to realize value in your products, you're protecting recurring revenue and creating a
customer for life. Customer Success shows you how to kick start your customer-centric revolution, and
make it stick for the long term.

Remove built-in supply chain weak points to more effectively balance supply and demand
Demand-Driven Inventory Optimization and Replenishment shows how companies can support supply
chain metrics and business initiatives by removing the weak points built into their inventory systems.
Beginning with a thorough examination of Just in Time, Efficient Consumer Response, and
Collaborative Forecasting, Planning, and Replenishment, this book walks you through the
mathematical shortcuts set up in your management system that prevent you from attaining supply
chain excellence. This expanded second edition includes new coverage of inventory performance,
business verticals, business initiatives, and metrics, alongside case studies that illustrate how
optimized inventory and replenishment delivers results across retail, high-tech, men's clothing, and
food sectors.
Inventory optimization allows you to avoid out-of-stock situations without impacting the bottom line
with excessive inventory maintenance. By keeping just the right amount of inventory on hand, your
company is better able to meet demand without sacrificing the cost-effectiveness of other supply
chain strategies. The trick, however, is determining "just the right amount"—and this book provides
the background and practical guidance you need to do just that.
Examine the major supply chain strategies of the last 30 years
Remove the shortcuts that prohibit supply chain excellence
Optimize your supply/demand balance in any vertical
Overcome systemic weaknesses to strengthen the bottom line
Inventory optimization is benefitting companies around the world, as exemplified here by case
studies involving Matas, PWT, Wistron, and Amway. When inefficiencies are built into the system, it's
only smart business to identify and remove them—and implement a new streamlined process that
runs like a well-oiled machine. Demand-Driven Inventory Optimization and Replenishment is an essential
resource for exceptional supply chain management.

A practical guide to innovation strategies based on fact, not feeling
The Innovation Formuladelivers strategies for building a culture where innovation can thrive, based on
actual scientific research. Author Amantha Imber holds a PhD in organisational psychology, and has
been called upon by a multinational roster of forward-thinking companies-such as Google, Disney,
LEGO and Virgin-to improve innovation at all levels. In this book, she shares her strategies and
helps you tap into a substantial body of scientific research to help further innovative practice within
your own company. For example, rewarding failed innovations can actually be a critical aspect of
building an innovation culture. It's rarely done, but it fosters creative thought by signaling to people
that failure is tolerated and is a necessary ingredient in the pursuit of innovation. This kind of
practical, easily implemented strategy is the lynchpin of cultural change. This guide shares fourteen
separate, yet interconnected strategies for improving your company's innovation culture, and
provides illustrative examples of real-world companies who are putting these plans into action.
Business innovation guides tend to focus on how one company does it. But it's not your company, and
just because it worked for Google or Apple doesn't mean that it's right for you. This book is
different; these techniques are based on science, not gut feeling, and can apply to any organisation,
at any level.
Delve into the science behind successful culture shift
For best results, reward innovation, whether or not it succeeds
Learn the critical elements that foster organisation-wide creativity
Implement practical strategies based on evidence, not anecdotes
Fostering a culture of innovation means making your company a safe space for new ideas. Over 95%
of business leaders surveyed get it wrong, because intuition cannot compete with data. The Innovation
Formula gives you a science-based framework for turning your organisation into one where innovation
survives and thrives.

The Knowledge Corrupters: Hidden Consequences of the Financial
Takeover of Public Life
Colin Crouch
Summary
In principle the advanced, market-driven world in which we now live is fuelled by knowledge,
information and transparency, but in practice the processes that produce this world systematically
corrupt and denigrate knowledge: this is the powerful and provocative argument advanced by Colin
Crouch in his latest exploration of societies on the road to post-democracy.

Crouch shows that executives in profit-maximizing corporations have incentives to ignore or distort
knowledge, especially firms in the information business of the mass media themselves, as financial
knowledge increasingly trumps the other kinds of knowledge that business needs. Firms also seek to
take control of public knowledge and use it for their own ends, often at the cost of other
stakeholders in society. Meanwhile the transfer of similar practices to professional public services
undermines professional skills and ethics - especially when these services are out-sourced to the
private sector. Attempts to extricate ourselves from these problems involve reshaping the complex
and often conflicting relationships among citizens, professionals, managers and financiers.
This new book by one of the most incisive critics of contemporary Western societies will be of interest
to a wide range of readers, from students to policy-makers and those who work in the public and
private sectors.

Twenty-five years after the end of the Cold War, a new Cold War is being waged in our societies.
During the Cold War a theoretical model of man was developed by economists and the military, an
egotistical being interested only in his own benefit and in duping his opponents to achieve his ends:
a modern homo oeconomicus. After his career in the Cold War ended, he was not scrapped but
adapted to the needs of the twenty-first century. He became the ringmaster of a new era of
information capitalism. He sought to read, control and influence thoughts; to predict, price and
eliminate risks. Today stock-market trading is guided by him. He uses computer algorithms and Big
Data to build up detailed pictures of our preferences and then suggest and sell goods to us. The
model has become a self-fulfilling prophecy. We are no longer the masters of our own fate. The
Game of Life runs without us.
Schirrmacher traces the progress of this extreme rationalization of social life from the Cold War
games of the 1950s Rand Corporation to the stock-market trading techniques that brought about
the financial crash of 2008, showing how these developments were interwoven with the rise of game
theory, rational choice theory and neoliberal economics. The state and politics increasingly submitted
themselves to the logic of computerized game theory and an economistic view of the world, evading
real decision-making in the process. In this brave new world individuals, alone in front of their
computers, may think they are constructing a reality of their own choosing, but in fact they are being
manipulated all along by others who are setting the rules of the game.
This international bestseller by one of Germany most distinguished journalists is a powerful
indictment of a way of thinking that has become pervasive and threatens to undermine not only
parliaments and constitutions but also the sovereignty of the individual to be the person he or she
wants to be.

Scaramucci Book 3 chronicles the rise, fall, and resurgence of SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony
Scaramucci, giving you a primer on how to thrive in an unpredictable business environment. The
sheer number of American success stories has created a false impression that becoming an
entrepreneur is a can't-miss endeavor—but nothing could be further from the truth. In the real world,
an entrepreneur batting .150 goes directly to the Hall of Fame. Things happen. You make a bad
hire, a bad strategic decision, or suffer the consequences of an unforeseen market crash. You can't
control what happens to your business, but you can absolutely control how you react, and how you
turn bumps in the road into ramps to the sky. Anthony Scaramucci has been there and done that,
again and again, and has ultimately come out on top; in this book, he shares what he wishes he
knew then.
Your chances of becoming an overnight billionaire are approximately the same as your chances of
being signed to the NBA. Success is hard work, and anxiety, and tiny hiccups that can turn into
disaster with a single misstep. This book shows you how to use adversity to your ultimate
advantage, and build the skills you need to respond effectively to the unexpected.
Learn how to deal with unforeseen events
Map a strategic backup plan, and then a backup-backup plan
Train yourself to react in the most productive way
Internalize the lessons learned by a leader in entrepreneurship
For every 23-year-old billionaire who just created a new way to send a picture on a phone, there are
countless others who have failed, and failed miserably. Scaramucci Book 3 gives you the skills,
insight, and mindset you need to be one of the winners.

25 Steps to Found and Scale a High-Growth Business
The Startup Checklist is the entrepreneur's essential companion. While most entrepreneurship books
focus on strategy, this invaluable guide provides the concrete steps that will get your new business
off to a strong start. You'll learn the ins and outs of startup execution, management, legal issues,
and practical processes throughout the launch and growth phases, and how to avoid the critical
missteps that threaten the foundation of your business. Instead of simply referring you to experts,
this discussion shows you exactly which experts you need, what exactly you need them to do, and
which tools you will use to support them—and you'll gain enough insight to ask smart questions that
help you get your money's worth. If you're ready to do big things, this book has you covered from
the first business card to the eventual exit.
Over two thirds of startups are built on creaky foundations, and over two thirds of startup costs go
directly toward cleaning up legal and practical problems caused by an incomplete or improper start.
This book helps you sidestep the messy and expensive clean up process by giving you the specific
actions you need to take right from the very beginning.
Understand the critical intricacies of legally incorporating and running a startup
Learn which experts you need, and what exactly you need from them
Make more intelligent decisions independent of your advisors
Avoid the challenges that threaten to derail great young companies
The typical American startup costs over $30,000 and requires working with over two dozen
professionals and service providers before it even opens for business—and the process is so
complex that few founders do it correctly. Their startups errors often go unnoticed until the founder
tries to seek outside capital, at which point they can cost thousands of dollars to fix. . . or even
completely derail an investment. The Startup Checklist helps you avoid these problems and lay a
strong foundation, so you can focus on building your business.

Keith P. Ambachtsheer
Summary
A real-world look at the pension revolution underway
The Future of Pension Management offers a progress report from the field, using actual case studies

taken place in pension management concepts and practices. The challenges identified in 2007 are
being addressed, and this report shows how design, management, and investment innovation have

In Wes Gray's prior book, Quantitative Value, he described a complex systematic value strategy
strategy using techniques limited to sophisticated quants at large quantitative hedge funds on Wall
Street. Why not do the same thing for Momentum? The first part of his new book, co-authored with
Jack Vogel, willfoul outline what momentum investing is and what it is not. Many value investors are
confused by momentum and incorrectly assume it is “growth” investing. Similarly, technical traders
consider momentum to be an esoteric academic concept that some quant managers add into their
value models. The reality is that momentum stands on its own two feet as a stock selection strategy.
Quantitative Momentum will educate investors about momentum and highlight that the phenomenon
has deep roots in behavioral psychology and is widely utilized by sophisticated hedge funds on Wall
Street.

An expert guide to surviving the coming hyperinflation and potential disruption
What's Wrong with Money? explores how and why money is valued and the warning signs that point to
its eventual collapse. Author Michael Ashton is widely regarded as a premier expert on inflation, and
in this book, he illustrates how the erosion of trust in central banks is putting us at high risk of both
near- and long-term inflation—and a potentially very serious disruption. It's not about a conspiracy
surrounding inflation reporting; it's about the tentative agreement we all carry that lends money its
value. This value isn't necessarily inherent; while some currency is backed by stored value, others
are not. This book walks you through the history of currency and details the ways in which it can fall
apart. You'll learn how to invest in any type of collapse scenario, and you'll gain expert insight into
the warning signs that signal a coming shock to the financial system.
Track the history of monetary value
Consider how money could die slowly or quickly
Learn investment strategies for both slow and quick scenarios
Examine potential causes of erosion of trust in the monetary
system, and the chilling results of such erosion
An economic system without money is incredibly inefficient, but our shared agreement in monetary
value has historically never been enough. What's Wrong with Money? shows you the lessons from the
past and the reality of the present and helps you make plans for the future of money.

Develop the qualities of strategic leadership and become an active contributor to the short- and
long-term success of your organization
Today's organizations face two daunting challenges: 1. How to create new sources of competitive
advantage to sustain long-term growth, and 2. How to engage leaders at every level of the
organization so that they are more proactive and forward-looking in their area of responsibility. The
Art of Strategic Leadership uses a unique approach to examine what it means to be a strategic leader.
Instead of focusing on the skills, behaviors, and tools found in typical books on strategic leadership,
the authors shed light on the attributes and qualities necessary to lead strategic change and help
transform a business. Strategic leadership is what modern leadership is all about. Organizations
expect leaders to anticipate and be proactive more than ever before. In this book, the authors draw
on their vast experience working directly with leaders at all levels and use an intriguing narrative to
explain this inside-out approach to understanding strategic leadership. The narrative follows the
journey of how one manager discovered these critically important qualities. You will experience
first-hand how these values and attributes manifest in the lives of realistic leaders; how they
orchestrate long-term strategic change needed for the organization to compete and survive and
actively shape the future while delivering short-term results.
The Art of Strategic Leadership provides the content that will help you informally assess and reflect on
your own strategic leadership qualities—those that are strengths and those that indicate areas you
need to develop. It will guide you as you incorporate these values and qualities into your own
leadership style and become a more effective catalyst for change. This book will help you in the
following ways:
Develop a more proactive, forward-thinking approach to leadership
Approach strategy from both short- and long-term perspectives
Adopt the core values and principles of a strategic leader
Model the qualities exhibited by powerful leaders
Strategic leaders serve as powerful examples to others in the organization. Their qualities and traits

The definitive, comprehensive assessment of global press freedom
Attacks on the Press is the definitive guide to the state of press freedom around the globe, with the
2016 edition focusing on gender-based threats to journalists and the media. Compiled by the
Committee to Protect Journalists, this book contains a collection of analytical reports by freelance
journalists and other experts who have an inside view of global media conditions and anti-press
violations related to gender, including digital harassment, discrimination, restricted access to
newsmakers, imprisonment, and physical and sexual attacks. It also provides guidance for dealing
with such threats and restrictions, as well as potential solutions, including safety measures and direct
advocacy with the diplomatic community on behalf of threatened journalists around the world, in
keeping with CPJ's mission.
Freedom of the press is essential to human rights, and encourages a strong civil society with healthy
and sustainable social, political, and economic development. This guide publicly reveals the latest
abuses against the press, providing a comprehensive guide to international press freedom,
including:
A survey of the current state of journalist safety around the globe
An examination of repression tactics based on gender
A compendium of countries seeking to undermine the freedom of the press
Accounts of the latest censorship tactics journalists face every day
Those who seek to expose injustices and spread information become easy targets under repressive

in any form. Attacks on the Press is intended to expose such abuses, particularly those that relate to
gender, through comprehensive research and first-hand accounts, and to provide potential solutions.

A blueprint for managing people, not generations
Generational Issues Has Issues challenges the very concept of "generational differences" as an unfair
generalization, and offers a roadmap to intergenerational understanding. While acknowledging that
generational stereotypes exist, author Jessica Kriegel argues that they are wrong—and that it's
unreasonable to assume that the millions of people born in the same 20-year time span are
motivated by the same things, attracted to the same things, and should be dealt with in the same
way. Kriegel's experience as Organizational Developer at Oracle puts her squarely in the talent
strategy realm, where she works to optimize leadership development, team effectiveness, and
organizational design. Drawing upon her experiences with workers of all ages and types, she shows
how behaviors know no generational boundaries and how to work with people based on their talents,
strengths, and weaknesses rather than simply slapping on a generational label and fitting them into
an arbitrary slot.
There are 80 million Millenials in America, yet there are myriad books on "managing Millenials" and
"working with Millenials" and "the problem with Millenials." This book shows that whether you're
working with Millenials, Generation X, or Baby Boomers, age is not the issue—it's the interpersonal
dynamics that matter most.
Examine the concept of "generational issues"
Explore the disparate reality of each 20-year generational span
Learn to understand and work effectively with other generations
Facilitate intergenerational understanding sessions
The human mind craves categorization, so the tendency to lump people together is natural. It may,
however, be holding your organization back. The members of each generation have only one thing in
common—their age—and even that varies by two whole decades. Why assume that they should all
be managed the same way? Generational Issues has Issues shows you a better way, and provides a
roadmap to a more effective organizational strategy.

This book provides an informed, insightful view of the current state of the healthcare industry, as well
as insight on what's to come. It digs deep into the issues to examine why and how established
companies, and those new to the industry, must evolve to keep pace. It demonstrates how
real-world data (from Electronic Medical Records, health wearables, the health Internet of Things,
digital media, social media, and other sources) is combining with scalable technologies and
advanced analytics to fundamentally change how healthcare is delivered. Healthcare Disrupted also
reveals how this shift in healthcare delivery significantly improves patient and economic outcomes.
The health care industry is increasingly focusing on: the patient as a partner; patient outcomes; and
the quality, convenience, and affordability of care management. But do industry professionals really
understand the implications of this shift in focus? To lead, and to thrive, many organizations will
need to change their definition of innovation. They will need to lessen the time and lower the cost
from discovery to market, and ensure the drugs they develop deliver a better patient outcome at an
economically viable cost.
This book provides practical insights on getting ahead of the curve by:
Discovering how profoundly the healthcare industry is changing
Finding your organization's place in the new order of modern health care
Learning how to survive in the face of transformational trends

the fact that everyone is busy. Too busy for progress.
Workplace cultures have become cursed with efficiency. And so when it comes to developing strategy,
we default to our defaults.We favour quick fixes, easy templates and familiar approaches,
developing ‘robust plans' that do little to mitigate strategic risk or generate new value. The result?

Building on The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, Happy, Humble, Smart is the story of Jeff Shanley, the
former head of business development from DecisionTech, who takes over his family’s business in
Napa, California. Jeff brings with him the lessons he learns from Kathryn Petersen, DecisionTech’s
CEO and the protagonist of The Five Dysfunctions, but he finds himself frustrated with the number of
people he hires that don’t seem suited to be team players. Jeff casually seeks the advice of the
local college basketball coach, whose teams are known to exceed the expectations that his talent
would indicate. That’s how Jeff learns about the three traits that the coach uses to evaluate players,
a recipe that has a greater impact on the team’s success than any technical approach. A non-fiction
model summary will follow the fable and the book will provide many opportunities for related
programs, applications and tools, including the possibility of an accessible self and team
assessment.
Topically, Humble, Hungry, Smart will be the most closely aligned book to The Five Dysfunctions.

Cut the organisational and operational dead weight to climb higher, faster
The Light and Fast Organisation presents a blueprint for organisations looking to thrive in today's
rapidly evolving business landscape. VUCA - Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity - has
become the dominant mode of modern business, and leaders are overwhelmed. Competition and
instability has increased while barriers to entry have fallen, chronic employee disengagement is on
the rise and the global economic recovery is incredibly fragile; business leaders are uncomfortable,
with threats to their business looming on all sides. This book proposes an alternative to the VUCA
paradigm, one in which we learn to be comfortable with being uncomfortable, and a model for
helping your organisation climb above the fray. Case studies from both business and
mountaineering illustrate the benefits and practicalities of becoming light, fast, and agile and
underscore the importance of self-awareness and self-reliance in minimising your exposure to risk.
Business and mountaineering share many parallels, including frequent operation outside of the
comfort zone. This book shows you the strong skills and effective strategies you need to reach the
summit.
Get comfortable with discomfort
Adopt an 'Alpine Style' approach to business
Operate outside of the VUCA paradigm
Stretch outside your comfort zone to achieve more, faster
Leaders must accept the current VUCA state and assess their preparedness, but it's possible to
move beyond it by ingraining a 'light and fast' approach at the core of their organisations' values
and operations. It's only through reaching beyond the 'safe' zone that we learn what we're made of,
and build the foundations for successful leadership and teamwork. The Light and Fast Organisation is
your practical coach for climbing the mountain, and your guide to the quickest route to the summit.

chart your own path to financial security, utilizing the author's own tools that he developed over 15
years as an active board member, chairman of the board, or chief financial officer of multiple
companies.
Oversimplified wealth management advice does not leave you equipped to manage your real-world
finances. This guide is written with intellectual rigor, but in the language of family discussion, to give
you a real, practical guide to being an effective family CFO.
Create your own financial prosperity and security
Align financial acumen with your family's specific situation
Adapt to real-world situations and make your financial advisor work for you
Utilize powerful financial tools to help you build financial independence
Every family needs a CFO to manage wealth, and the principles of corporate finance apply from the
boardroom to the living room. Family Inc. delivers actionable advice in the form of CFO training to
help you plot a real-world family financial plan.

A majority (62%) of American adults are losing sleep over their finances, leading to stress-related
health problems and lower life satisfaction. The common phrase, “Money is the root of all evil,”
exposes a deep cultural distrust for money itself, as if currency has the power to corrupt otherwise
good people. The belief that money is a necessary but corrupting force is sprinkled heavily
throughout our cultural stories and public conversations. Feelings of personal desperation combined
with negative beliefs about wealth can lead to a complex emotional relationship with money.
Financial psychologists have observed for decades that the way that we think and feel about money
has a powerful effect on how we handle – or mishandle – this resource in our own lives.
It takes more than financial advice to reach people who have a difficult relationship with money. It
takes understanding and a validation of their experience and perspective. This book approaches
money management from a fresh angle, beginning with the recognition that our experiences with
money can often run counter to our core values.
Deeply researched, yet written in an approachable, conversational tone, this book offers insight into
how the reader’s personal experiences have shaped their financial attitudes, and how they can have
a healthier relationship with their own money. The book will first examine the roots and
consequences of core money beliefs and then use a unique and personalized Values-Based
approach to budgeting and money management. Worksheets and personal money psychology
assessments supplement the text.

A real-world framework for driving capital project success
Capital Projects provides an empirically-based framework for capital project strategy and
implementation, based on the histories of over 20,000 capital projects ranging from $50,000 to $40
billion. Derived from the detailed, carefully normalized database at preeminent project consultancy
IPA, this solid framework is applicable to all types of capital investment projects large and small, in
any sector, including technology, life sciences, petroleum, consumer products, and more. Although
grounded in empirical research and rigorous data analysis, this book is not an academic discussion
or a conceptual dissertation; it's a practical, actionable, on-the-ground guide to making your project
succeed. Clear discussion tackles the challenges that cause capital projects to fail or underperform,
and lays out exactly what it takes to successfully manage a project using real-world methods that
apply at any level.
Businesses report that 60 percent of their projects fail to meet all business objectives, and IPA's
database shows that projects' final average net present value undershoots initial estimates by 28
percent. This book provides concrete, actionable solutions to help you avoid the pitfalls and lead the
way toward a more positive outcome.
Avoid the missteps that make capital projects fail
Learn the specific practices that drive project success
Understand what effective capital project management entails
Discover real-world best practices that generate more value from capital
When capital projects fail, it is almost always preventable. Inefficiency, underestimated timelines,
and unforeseen costs are the primary weights that drag a project down—and they are all avoidable
with good management. Capital Projects gives you the insight and practical tools you need to drive a
successful project.

Leading with Noble Purpose
How to Create a Tribe of True Believers
Lisa Earle McLeod
Summary
Profit doesn't drive purpose. Purpose drives profit.
We made some incorrect assumptions about work and those assumptions are killing us. We allowed
a narrative that is solely about earnings to replace what we know to be true about human motivation.
Human beings are hardwired to seek purpose, but according to data, most people don't feel a sense
of purpose in their work. Work has become a grind, an endless series of tasks that lack meaning.

Building upon her bestseller Selling with Noble Purpose, leadership expert Lisa Earle McLeod tackles
the employee engagement crisis by showing leaders how to put workplace meaning front and center.
McLeod, whose clients include organizations like Google, Hootsuite, and Roche, asserts that many
organizations are unconsciously squandering their greatest asset—their people's passion. By putting
profit before purpose, organizations eroded the very thing that makes a business great.
The narrative of profit, earnings, and bonuses was supposed to improve employee performance, but
it had the opposite effect. It stripped the joy and meaning from work in ways that have a chilling
effect on morale, performance, and ultimately profit. In this new book, McLeod shows leaders how
to:
Win the hearts and minds of employees, clients, and stakeholders through a Noble Sales
Purpose
Reframe your approach to metrics so that they accelerate performance
Create a tribe of True Believers who drive revenue and do honorable work
People want to make money and make a difference. Leading with Noble Purpose shows leaders how to
do both.

The Conversion Code provides a step-by-step blueprint for increasing sales in the modern, Internetdriven era. Today's consumers are savvy, and they have more options than ever before. Capturing
their attention and turning it into revenue requires a whole new approach to marketing and sales.
This book provides clear guidance toward conquering the new paradigm shift towards online lead
generation and inside sales. You'll learn how to capture those invaluable Internet leads, convert
them into appointments, and close more deals. Regardless of product or industry, this proven
process will increase both the quantity and quality of leads and put your sales figures on the rise.
Traditional sales and marketing advice is becoming less and less relevant as today's consumers are
spending much more time online, and salespeople are calling, emailing, and texting leads instead
of meeting them in person. This book shows you where to find them, how to engage them, and how
to position your company as the ideal solution to their needs.
Engage with consumers more effectively online
Leverage the strengths of social media, apps, and blogs to capture more leads for less money
Convert more Internet leads into real-world prospects and sales appointments
Make connections on every call and learn the exact words that close more sales
The business world is moving away from "belly-to-belly" interactions and traditional advertising.
Companies are forced to engage with prospective customers first online—the vast majority through
social media, mobile apps, blogs, and live chat—before ever meeting in person. Yesterday's
marketing advice no longer applies to today's tech savvy, mobile-first, social media-addicted
consumer, and the new sales environment demands that you meet consumers where they are and
close them, quickly. The Conversion Code gives you an actionable blueprint for capturing Internet
leads and turning them into customers.

How are you today? We would hazard a guess that your answer will be along the lines of "I'm so
busy", "I feel so frazzled", or "what-am-I-doing-even reading-this-book, I've got so much to do!"
However, we also suspect that you know in your heart of hearts, that life's not supposed to feel like
this. You're not supposed to feel like you're in a hamster wheel that you can't get off; that life is a
'whirlwind' or 'one never-ending To Do list'. You know there has to be another way - but what is it?
Well here it is: Real Focus. We suspect that the reason you're reading this book is because you feel
your lack of focus is causing you problems in your life. Perhaps you feel overwhelmed by how much
you have to do every day in the time available; or you're unclear about your goals and what you
really want. Maybe you're sick of getting to the end of another 'manic' day and thinking, what have I
actually achieved?
You probably look at other people and think they've got it all worked out (we can pretty much
guarantee, they haven't.) At the end of the day though, this isn't about anyone else, it's about you.
It's about creating a life which allows you the time and space to do everything that matters, and
spend time with those that matter too. So what do people with real focus do that you don't? What
habits do they have?
Real focus is:
'Curating' the best life for you: knowing what's important to you - doing less, but more of the
things that matter
Playing to your strengths and doing what you love
Devoting time to thinking how to change things
Not over-committing yourself
Giving regular, focused attention to the things you want to happen
Having systems
You both having time to work, love and play.
Real Focus, in a nutshell is: doing what matters. It's kind of simple and yet tricky all at the same
time! What matters, is that you've identified you want things to change and you've started the ball
rolling. The good news is, anybody can achieve it when they know how and this book is the right

A hands-on guidebook for making your strategy work with effective Balanced Scorecard design,
deployment, and maintenance
Execution Excellence is the practitioner's guide to real-world implementation. Designed by a Balanced
Scorecard (BSC) thought leader with 30 years of experience and over 300 global implementations
under his belt across a range of industry sectors, this guide gives you a hands-on framework for
putting the BSC methodology into action. Clear, concise, and easy to read, this book skips the
theoretical exposition to get right to the point—how can companies use BSC to effectively deploy
strategy and drive individual and enterprise performance? You'll find the answers here. The
discussion outlines the ways in which firms commonly fail in implementing BSC. These failures can
be traced back to common design and implementation flaws: making the process too complicated
and focusing on the BSC process rather than the outcome. The discussion will also cover design
optimization across a range of key industry sectors. You'll gain expert insight into avoiding these
missteps and the practical tools and perspective you need to implement BSC correctly the first time.
While the Balanced Scorecard framework is widely accepted and praised, about half of firms that
implement it fail to realize the full benefits. The fault lies not with the framework, but with the
design, and more importantly—execution. This book gives you the information and tools you need
to adopt BSC successfully.
Design a BSC that truly and simply reflects your strategy
Customize the BSC to reflect your industry's uniqueness
Define clear measurements and ownership that suit your strategy
Develop a framework for efficient data collection and reporting
Implement effective reviews to keep your business on track
Use your Balanced Scorecard data to close performance gaps
Developed in the early 1990s, the Balanced Scorecard framework has been recognized as one of the
most seminal business ideas in the last 75 years. Thousands of companies around the world use
BSC to create and maintain a performance-oriented enterprise, yet just as many try and fail.

The missing how-to manual for being an effective team leader
The Art of Coaching Teams is the manual you never received when you signed on to lead a team.
Being a great teacher is one thing, but leading a team, or team development, is an entirely different
dynamic. Your successes are public, but so are your failures—and there's no specific rubric or
curriculum to give you direction. Team development is an art form, and this book is your how-to
guide to doing it effectively. You'll learn the administrative tasks that keep your team on track, and
you'll gain access to a wealth of downloadable tools that simplify the "getting organized" process.
Just as importantly, you'll explore what it means to be the kind of leader that can bring people
together to accomplish difficult tasks. You'll find practical suggestions, tools, and clear instructions
for the logistics of team development as well as for building trust, developing healthy
communication, and managing conflict.
Inside these pages you'll find concrete guidance on:
Designing agendas, making decisions, establishing effective protocols, and more
Boosting your resilience, understanding and managing your emotions, and meeting your goals
Cultivating your team's emotional intelligence and dealing with cynicism
Utilizing practical tools to create a customized framework for developing highly effective teams
There is no universal formula for building a great team, because every team is different. Different
skills, abilities, personalities, and goals make a one-size-fits-all approach ineffective at best.
Instead, The Art of Coaching Teams provides a practical framework to help you develop your group as
a whole, and keep the team moving toward their common goals.

challenging, rigorous, engaging, and personalized learning experience throughout their elementary,

Personalizing 21st Century Education begins with a manifesto for change, emphasizing the significance
of true personalization for every learner. Next, it describes classroom, school, and system-level
performance indicators that suggest that personalization is alive and well. The authors examine the
historical origins of most modern school cultures—i.e., a commitment to standardization,
depersonalization, and test-driven metrics that ignore the complexity and totality of the whole child.
Throughout the are success stories showcasing schools and districts that are currently “beating the
odds” and providing a truly personalized learning environment for their students. The authors outline
key components of a personalized learning system, including:
state-of-the-art curriculum
balanced and authentic assessment
integrated and student-focused technology
rigorous and engaging instruction
personalized approaches to learning
addressing the needs of diverse student populations, including English Language Learners,
special needs students, socio-economically disadvantaged, and transient/highly mobile
learners
effective and sustained social and psychological services
active parent and community involvement
creative and productive cross-institutional partnerships

A principal’s job, first and foremost, is to diagnose their school’s needs and match them to effective
principal actions and school practices that drive student success. Successful principals use their
diagnosis to build an action plan that pushes their school—and student achievement—to the next
level. New Leaders developed their Transformational Leadership Framework (TLF) to understand
exactly what schools achieving dramatic gains are doing and to share that knowledge throughout the
school leadership community. Armed with this knowledge and aligned system supports, educational
leaders—whether they are principals, assistant principals, teacher leaders, or district
administrators—can drive significant gains in student achievement and help close the achievement
gap.
The New School Leader is a detailed field guide of the school practices and principal actions found in
the highest-gaining urban public schools. The book is based on over 100 visits and case studies of
schools that were identified as achieving dramatic gains, and draws on the latest research on the
practices of effective schools, turnaround schools, secondary schools, and leadership.
Desravines and Fenton focus on five categories of school practices. Among them are two primary
drivers of student achievement: rigorous, goal and data-driven learning and teaching and
achievement and belief-based school-wide culture. Two additional categories of a principal’s work
are essential to supporting these drivers: building and managing a high-quality aligned staff to the
school’s vision and instituting operations and systems to put the vision into place. Undergirding all
of these categories is the personal leadership modeled by a principal who sets the tone for all
student and adult relationships and practices in the school.

Learning That Lasts presents a new vision for classroom instruction that sharpens and deepens what is
asked of teachers and students. The book is a practical guide filled with structures, strategies, and
resources, grounded in examples and stories from successful schools. It presents a detailed picture
of how more ambitious and effective instruction--instruction that is challenging, engaging, and
empowering for students--can look across grade levels and disciplines, and across a range of school
settings. It focuses deeply on the classroom level of teaching and learning. It paints a portrait of a
deeper version of instruction--one all students need and that all students deserve.
432 Pages
EDU001000
The book provides a three-pronged framework for deeper instruction:
1. Deeper instruction challenges students
Grappling with new ideas and problems will productively challenge students when they have enough
background knowledge to feel anchored, enough scaffolding to feel supported, and enough time and
intellectual freedom to wrestle with complex ideas that stimulate their thinking.
2. Deeper instruction engages students
When students feel that their learning has purpose and is connected to the real world, they become
more engaged--their curiosity about and connection to their academic content is heightened.
3. Deeper instruction empowers students with tools for learning
The third part of the framework focuses on helping students become self-directed learners with
strong habits of scholarship. When students believe that learning is within their control, they are
empowered to achieve more than they think possible.
Filled with thought-provoking insights, actionable guidance for educators, and compelling video,
Learning That Lasts helps us set students on a path to success in the twenty-first century.

Generation Z is rapidly replacing Millennials on college campuses. Those born from 1995 through

concerned with effecting social change. Understanding Generation Z's mindset and goals is

Employ cognitive theory in the classroom every day
Research into how we learn has opened the door for utilizing cognitive theory to facilitate better
student learning. But that's easier said than done. Many books about cognitive theory introduce
radical but impractical theories, failing to make the connection to the classroom. In Small Teaching,
James Lang presents a strategy for improving student learning with a series of modest but powerful
changes that make a big difference—many of which can be put into practice in a single class period.
These strategies are designed to bridge the chasm between primary research and the classroom
environment in a way that can be implemented by any faculty in any discipline, and even integrated
into pre-existing teaching techniques. Learn, for example:

In the 2010 article “Building a Better Teacher”—the article that “launched” Teach Like a Champion,
journalist Elizabeth Green compared two schools of thought—one that teaching skills were the most
important driver of classroom learning, the other that content knowledge was the true driver. Some
readers saw a conflict between these two perspectives. The authors of Reading Reconsidered have
always thought that the answer was more complex: that technique was irreplaceable and helped
teachers maximize the application of their subject knowledge but there was also no substitute for

The Cunning of Uncertainty
Helga Nowotny
Summary
Uncertainty is interwoven into human existence. It is a powerful incentive in the search for knowledge
and an inherent component of scientific research. We have developed many ways of coping with
uncertainty. We make promises, manage risks and make predictions to try to clear the mists and
predict ahead. But the future is inherently uncertain - and the mist that shrouds our path an inherent
part of our journey. The burning question is whether our societies can face up to uncertainty, learn to
embrace it and whether we can open up to a constantly evolving future.
In this new book, Helga Nowotny shows how research can thrive at the cusp of uncertainty. Science,
she argues, can eventually transform uncertainty into certainty, but into certainty which remains
always provisional.

Uncertainty is never completely static. It is constantly evolving. It encompasses geological time
scales and, at the level of human experience, split-second changes as cells divide. Life and death
decisions are taken in the blink of the eye, while human interactions with the natural environment
may reveal their impact over millennia.
Uncertainty is cunning. It appears at unexpected moments, it shuns the straight line, takes the
oblique route and sometimes the unexpected short-cut. As we acknowledge the cunning of
uncertainty, its threats retreat. We accept that any scientific inquiry must produce results that are
provisional and uncertain. This message is vital for politicians and policy-makers: do not be tempted
by small, short-term, controllable gains to the exclusion of uncertain, high-gain opportunities.
Wide-ranging in its use of examples and enriched by the author’s experience as President of the
European Research Council, one of the world’s leading funding organisations for fundamental
research. The Cunning of Uncertainty is a must-read for students and scholars of all disciplines,
politicians, policy-makers and anyone concerned with the fundamental role of knowledge and science
in our societies today.

The Polar Regions
An Environmental History
Adrian Howkins
Summary
The environmental histories of the Arctic and Antarctica are characterised by contrast and
contradiction. These are places that have witnessed some of the worst environmental degradation in
recent history. But they are also the locations of some of the most farsighted measures of
environmental protection. They are places where people have sought to conquer nature through
exploration and economic development, but in many ways they remain wild and untamed. They are
the coldest places on Earth, yet have come to occupy an important role in the science and politics of
global warming.

Adrian Howkins argues that the environmental histories of the Arctic and Antarctica share much in
common and have often been closely connected. This book also argues that the Polar Regions are
strongly linked to the rest of the world, both through physical processes and through intellectual and
political themes. As places of inherent contradiction, the Polar Regions have much to contribute to
the way we think about environmental history and the environment more generally.

Paperback
"The point is to get away from questions of origin, to forget about where a theory or a form of
knowledge or politics come from originally, and to define instead scenes where we can see things
play out, with the idea that the origin itself is a kind of scene." This is how Jacques Rancière defines
his intellectual project. In this long conversation with Laurent Jeanpierre and Dork Zabunyan,
Rancière demonstrates the richness and fruitfulness of this approach, never yielding to the
temptation of linearity or causality, bringing out scenes, instances, that together form an intellectual
project. The development of Rancière's philosophical project, from his formative years through the
political and methodological break with Louis Althusser and the lessons of May '68, is here, as are
the confrontations with other thinkers, the controversies and occasional misunderstandings. So too is
the unity of his work and the distinctive style of his thinking, despite the frequent disconnect
between politics and aesthetics and the subterranean movement between categories and works.
Lastly one sees his view of our age, and of our age's many different and competing realities. What
we gain in the end is a rich and multi-layered portrait of a life and a body of thought dedicated to
the exercise of philosophy and to the emergence of possible new worlds.

Foucault and Neoliberalism
Daniel Zamora
Summary
Michel Foucault's death in 1984 coincided with the fading away of the hopes for social transformation
that characterized the postwar period. In the decades following his death, neoliberalism has
triumphed and attacks on social rights have become increasingly bold. If Foucault was not a direct
witness of these years, his work on neoliberalism is nonetheless prescient: the question of liberalism
occupies an important place in his last works. Since his death, Foucault's conceptual apparatus has
acquired a central, even dominant position for a substantial segment of the world's intellectual left.

However, as the contributions to this volume demonstrate, Foucault's attitude towards neoliberalism
was at least equivocal. Far from leading an intellectual struggle against free market orthodoxy,
Foucault seems in many ways to endorse it. How is one to understand his radical critique of the
welfare state, understood as an instrument of biopower? Or his support for the pandering
anti-Marxism of the so-called -new philosophers-? Is it possible that Foucault was seduced by
neoliberalism?
This question is not merely of biographical interest: it forces us to confront more generally the
mutations of the left since May 1968, the disillusionment of the years that followed and the profound
transformations in the French intellectual field over the past thirty years. To understand the 1980s
and the neoliberal triumph is to explore the most ambiguous corners of the intellectual left through
one of its most important figures.
Infinite Distraction
Dominic Pettman
Summary
It is often argued that contemporary media homogenize our thoughts and actions, without us being
fully aware of the restrictions they impose. But what if the problem is not that we are all synchronized
to the same motions or moments, but rather dispersed into countless different emotional microexperiences? What if the effect of so-called social media is to calibrate the interactive spectacle so
that we never fully feel the same way as other potential allies at the same time? While one person is
fuming about economic injustice or climate change denial, another is giggling at a cute cat video.
And, two hours late, vice versa. The nebulous indignation which constitutes the very fuel of true
social change can be redirected safely around the network, avoiding any dangerous surges of radical
activity.

Philosophical Anthropology
Paul Ricoeur
Summary
How do human beings become human? This question lies behind the so-called -human sciences.But these disciplines are scattered among many different departments and hold up a cracked mirror
to humankind. This is why, in the view of Paul Ricoeur, we need to develop a philosophical
anthropology, one that has a much older history but still offers many untapped resources.

This appeal to a specifically philosophical approach to questions regarding what it was to be human
did not stop Ricoeur from entering into dialogue with other disciplines and approaches, such as
psychoanalysis, history, sociology, anthropology, linguistics and the philosophy of language, in order
to offer an up-to-date reflection on what he saw as the fundamental issues. For there is clearly not a
simple, single answer to the question -what is it to be human?- Ricoeur therefore takes up the
complexity of this question in terms of the tensions he sees between the -voluntary- and the
-involuntary,- -acting- and uffering,- -autonomy- and -vulnerability,- -capacity- and -fragility,- and
-identity- and -otherness.The texts brought together in this volume provide an overall view of the development of Ricoeur
philosophical thinking on the question of what it is to be human, from his early 1939 lecture on
-Attention- to his remarks on receiving the Kluge Prize in 2004, a few months before his death.
Postanarchism
Saul Newman
Summary
What shape can radical politics take today in a time abandoned by the great revolutionary projects
of the past? In light of recent uprisings around the world against the neoliberal capitalist order, Saul
Newman argues that anarchism - or as he calls it postanarchism - forms our contemporary political
horizon.

PHI019000
In this book, Newman develops an original political theory of postanarchism; a form of
anti-authoritarian politics which starts, rather than finishes, with anarchy. He does this by asking four
central questions: who are we as subjects; how do we resist; what is our relationship to violence;
and, why do we obey? By drawing on a range of heterodox thinkers including La Bo-tie, Sorel,
Benjamin, Stirner and Foucault, the author not only investigates the current conditions for radical
political thought and action, but proposes a new form of politics based on what he calls ontological
anarchy and the desire for autonomous life. Rather than seeking revolutionary emancipation or
political hegemony, we should affirm instead the non-existence of power and the ever-present
possibilities of freedom.
As the tectonic plates of our time are shifting, revealing the nihilism and emptiness of our political
and economic order, postanarchism disdain for power in all its forms offers us genuine emancipatory
potential.

House of Cards depicts our worst fears about politics today. Love him or loathe him, Frank Underwood
has charted an inimitable course through Washington politics. He and his cohorts depict the darkest
dealings within the gleaming halls of our most revered political institutions.
These 24 original essays examine key philosophical issues behind the critically-acclaimed series
—questions of truth, justice, equality, opportunity, and privilege. The amoral machinations of
Underwood, the ultimate anti-hero, serve as an ideal backdrop for a discussion of the political
theories of philosophers as diverse as Plato, Aristotle, Nietzsche, Machiavelli, Hobbes, and Marx.
From political and corporate ethics, race relations, and ruthless paragmatism to mass media
collusion and sexual politics, these essays tackle a range of issues important not only to the series

The Truth about the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership
Ferdi De Ville, Gabriel Siles-Brügge
Summary
The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) has stirred passions like no other trade
negotiation in recent history. Its supporters maintain that TTIP will produce spectacular growth and
job creation; claims that are wholeheartedly rejected by its critics, who regard TTIP as a direct assault
on workers' rights, health and safety standards and public services.

In this incisive analysis, Gabriel Siles-Brugge and Ferdi de Ville scrutinize the claims made by TTIP's
cheerleaders and scaremongers to reveal a far more nuanced picture behind the headlines. TTIP will
not provide an economic 'cure-all', nor will it destroy the European welfare state in one fell swoop.
Thanks to unprecedented levels of protest and debate around TTIP, however, neoliberal trade
negotiations are well and truly back in the spotlight. In this respect, TTIP could well prove to be a
'game-changer' - just not in the way imagined by its backers.

Syria
Samer Abboud
Summary
Syria was once one of the Middle East most stable states. Today it is a country on its knees. Almost
200,000 people are estimated to have died in its bloody internal conflict and, as the violence
intensifies, Syria future looks bleak.
In this timely book, Samer Abboud provides an in-depth analysis of Syria descent into civil war. He
unravels the complex and multi-layered causes of the current political and military stalemate - from
rebel fragmentation to the differing roles of international actors, and the rise of competing centers of
power throughout the country. Rebel in-fighting and the lack of a centralizing authority, he contends,
have exacerbated Syria fragmentation and fragility. This, in turn, has aided the survival of the Assad
regime, contributed to the upsurge of sectarianism, and led to a major humanitarian crisis as nine
million Syrians have been forced to flee their homes.

A resolution to the Syrian conflict seems unlikely in the short-term as the major actors remains

Interpret the WISC–V to help diagnose learning disabilities and to translate profiles of test scores
to educational action
The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children—Fifth Edition (WISC–V) is a valuable tool for assessing
children and adolescents with learning disorders—and Intelligent Testing with the WISC–V offers the
comprehensive guidance you need to administer, score, and interpret WISC–V profiles for informing
diagnoses and making meaningful educational recommendations. This essential resource provides
you with cutting-edge expertise on how to interpret the WISC–V, which has an expanded test
structure, additional subtests, and an array of new composites. Intelligent Testing offers valuable
advice from experienced professionals with regard to clinically applying the WISC–V in an effort to
understand a child's strengths and weaknesses—and to create a targeted, appropriate intervention
plan. Ultimately, this book equips you with the information you need to identify the best
theory-based methods for interpreting each child's profile of test scores within the context of his or
her background and behaviors. Intelligent Testing provides a strong theoretical basis for interpreting
the WISC–V from several vantage points, such as neuropsychological processing theory and the
Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) model, yet it permits you to interpret children's profiles using simple,
straightforward steps.
The most frequently used IQ test in the world, the WISC–V (like previous versions of the WISC)
plays an integral role in evaluating children for learning and intellectual disabilities, developmental
and language delays, and gifted and talented classifications. As such, understanding how to use the
latest version of WISC is extremely important when assessing children and adolescents ages 6 to 16
years.
Explore all aspects of both the conventional WISC–V and WISC–V Digital
Read objective, independent test reviews of the WISC–V from independent, highly-respected
expert sources
Review 17 clinical case reports that spotlight experiences of children and adolescents referred
to psychologists for diverse reasons such as reading problems, specific learning disabilities,

Jennifer Clapp
Summary
We all need food to survive, and forty percent of the world population relies on agriculture for their
livelihood. Yet control over food is concentrated in relatively few hands. Turmoil in the world food
economy over the past decade - including the food price crisis, intensification of land grabs, and
clashes over rules governing global food trade - has highlighted both the volatility and vulnerability
inherent in the way we currently organize this vital sector. At the same time, contrasting extremes of
both undernourishment and overnourishment affect a significant proportion of humanity. There is
also growing awareness of the serious ecological consequences that stem from industrial models of
agriculture that are increasingly spreading worldwide.

influence on the practices that dominate the world food economy. A variety of movements have
emerged that are making important progress in establishing alternative food systems but, as Clapp

Is this vision of future war possible, or even inevitable? In this timely new book, Everett Carl Dolman
examines the relationship between science and war. Historically, science has played an important role
in ending wars – think of the part played by tanks in breaching trench warfare in the First World War,
or atom bombs in hastening the Japanese surrender in the Second World War – but to date this has
only increased the danger and destructiveness of future conflicts. Could science ever create the
con-ditions of a permanent peace, either by making wars impossible to win, or so horrific that no one
would ever fight? Ultimately, Dolman argues that science cannot, on its own, end war without also
ending what it means to be human.

McRobbie makes some bold arguments about the staging of creative economy as a mode of ‘labour
reform’; she proposes that the dispositif of creativity is a fine-tuned instrument for acclimatising the
expanded, youthful urban middle classes to a future of work without the raft of entitlements and
security which previous generations had struggled to win through the post-war period of social
democratic government.
Adopting a cultural studies perspective, McRobbie re-considers resistance as ‘line of flight’ and shows
what is at stake in the new politics of culture and creativity. She incisively analyses ‘project working’
as the embodiment of the future of work and poses the question as to how people who come
together on this basis can envisage developing stronger and more protective organisations and
associations. Scattered throughout the book are excerpts from interviews with artists, stylists, fashion
designers, policy-makers, and social entrepreneurs.

In this probing new book, Emmanuel Todd investigates the cartography and sociology of the three to
four million who marched in Paris and across France and draws some unsettling conclusions. For while
they claimed to support liberal, republican values, the real middle classes who marched on that day
of indignant protest also had a quite different programme in mind, one that was far removed from
their proclaimed ideal. Their deep values were in fact more reminiscent of the most depressing
aspects of France’s national history: conservatism, selfishness, domination and inequality.
By identifying the anthropological, religious, economic and political forces that brought France to the
edge of the abyss, Todd reveals the real dangers posed to all western societies when the interests of
privileged middle classes work against marginalised and immigrant groups. Should we really
continue to mistreat young people, force the children of immigrants to live on the outskirts of our
cities, consign the poorer classes to the remoter parts of the country, demonise Islam, and allow the
growth of an ever more menacing anti-Semitism? While asking uncomfortable questions and offering
no easy solutions, Todd points to the difficult and uncertain path that might lead to an
accommodation with Islam rather than a deepening and divisive confrontation.
