Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -A much-needed defense of liberalismwhat it is, why it is under threat, and why we need it more than everfrom one of our most important political thinkers today.More than at any time since World War II, liberalism is under pressure, even siege. On the right, some have given up on liberalism.… They hold it responsible for the collapse of the family and traditional values, rampant criminality, disrespect for authority, and widespread immorality. On the left, some are turning their backs on liberalism. They think that it lacks the resources to handle the problems posed by entrenched inequalities, racism, sexism, corporate power, and environmental degradation. But those opposed to liberalism do not depict it accurately; they offer a caricature, and they neglect its history.In On Liberalism, former advisor to Presidents Obama and Biden and New York Timesbestselling author Cass Sunstein offers a timely and clear understanding of liberalismof its core commitments, of its breadth, of its internal debates, of its evolving character, of its promiseand why we need it more than ever. He also shows how and why liberalism has been, and should be, appealing to both the left and the right.The book begins with a manifesto on behalf of liberalism, and then goes on to explore the central idea of "experiments of living," to which a liberal constitutional order gives pride of place. From there, it discusses John Stuart Mill and Friedrich Hayek, defining liberal thinkers; the rule of law as liberals understand it; freedom of speech (including the place of lies and falsehoods within that freedom); free markets, economic liberty, and regulation; Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Second Bill of Rights, with its social and economic guarantees; and finally, the concept of opportunity.Never more urgently needed, On Liberalism moves the conversation well beyond the reductive and inflammatory political sound bites of our moment and advances a compelling argument on behalf of liberalism as the foundation of freedom and self-government. 202 pp. Englisch.

While many embrace these changes, which aim to share the nation's economic bounty among all Americans, those who see themselves as benefiting from the old hierarchies do not. They resist this progress with divisive rhetoric condemning "woke"-ness in anything they find threatening.In The Real Domestic Product, fertility researcher Elizabeth Gregory argues that our battles over abortion and LGBTQ bans and pronatalism are economic at basethat conservatives seek to push women out of civic life through forced childbearing. Their goal To maintain their discount on domestic labor and a steady supply of low-wage workers. But, she contends, this shortsighted approach overlooks the huge benefits that a caring democracy can engender for our economy and for our fragile planet.By connecting the dots among fertility patterns, economics, climate change, equitable work, expanding longevity, and the rising status of formerly excluded groups, the author counters reactionary narratives, adding depth and perspective to the incomplete national conversations we've had to date.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Leading scholars explore the connections between democracy and justice, architecture and urban design, the growth of cities, cosmopolitanism, inclusion, and free speech.This book builds on conversations that took place in the fall of 2024 at Harvard's Graduate School of Design to mark the…release of the book Democracy and Urban Form, co-published by Harvard Design Press and Sternberg Press. The original book presented a series of six eponymous lectures given by sociologist Richard Sennett at the GSD in 1981. Despite having been delivered in a very different political climate, his core insights into the connections between democracy and justice, matters of architecture and urban design, the growth of cities, cosmopolitanism, inclusion, free speech, and other related matters remain highly relevant today. To reflect on these urgencies, the GSD invited political philosopher Michael Sandel to address themes from the new edition of his book Democracy's Discontent. In his opening talk, Sandel encouraged the audience to consider what might account for the polarization that threatens democracy today, and what might be done about it. Following an analysis of the forces that were then about to decide the 2024 election, he proposes a bold project of civic renewal to reimagine the economy and empower citizens. The next day, these provocations informed a panel discussion that included Richard Sennett, Diane Davis, Claire Zimmerman, Markus Miessen, and Miguel Robles-Durán. As well as reflecting on Sandel's talk specifically, they also more generally consider the state of democracy relative to architecture and the design and planning of cities and metropolitan regions.ContributorsDiane E. Davis, Markus Miessen, Miguel Robles-Durán, Richard Sennett, Claire Zimmerman.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A dazzling work of science fiction to which Dune, the Foundation trilogy, and 2001: A Space Odyssey owe a major debt.Narrated telepathically by one of the Last Men, Olaf Stapledon's epic history of the future caused a literary sensation when it first appeared in 1930. Over the course of tw…o billion years, it seems, ever more alien versions of humankind will rise and fall developing every sort of utopian and dystopian civilization only to descend into savagery again and again, until eventually the Earth's resources are depleted.This abridged edition takes us from the fall of the First Men to the initial efforts of the Fifth Men, the "last Terrestrials," to colonize other planets.

In Getting Learning Right, Chris Gallagher, Kristi Girdharry, and Kevin Smith argue that institutions can meet today's challengespublic skepticism, AI, political pressureby orienting decision making around a deep understanding of their learners and how learning actually works.The book examines institutional practices undertaken by colleges and universities that get learning right: listening to students; designing learning-focused environments; employing collaborative and project-based learning; helping students build networks of support and opportunity; offering flexible learning pathways; and codesigning and cocreating with students. Each practice is illustrated through key learning concepts, real institutional examples, and firsthand student accounts, whose reports offer fresh insights into more established concepts such as experiential learning and learning transfer.Written for practical and effective use, the book includes reflective questions at the end of each chapter that are designed to facilitate conversation and inform learning-grounded design. 240 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - On the forms of sabotage, insubordination, and invisible activity that evade the terrain of politics. What gets stranded outside the borders of the political Inhuman Resources develops an account of sabotage, insubordination, and the invisible activities that undermine the ideas of account…ability and identi?cation on which representative politics rely. Drawing from histories of labor, disability, infrastructure, writing, and war, Williams offers genealogies of the tropes of paralysis and sabotage, which leave behind notions of public citizenship to reveal an 'inhuman' agency that hinges on the unexpected friction between humans, materials, machinery, and other non-human life. Yet to detect this and move away from fantasies of clarity and visibility, we need to take cues from political and artistic practices that evade such legibility, and are attuned to what happens off-screen and without recognition. Spanning an ambitious range of subjects--from prison architecture to digital animation, legal history to self-help books, and electrical blackouts to silkworms saturated with toxic dye--Inhuman Resources gathers materials for thinking differently about insurgent activity. This is a theory that does not privilege exodus, pride, or autonomy but instead takes shape inside the very processes, architectures, appearances, and systems it seeks to ruin.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -A fascinating look at how Japanese department stores of the twentieth century influenced modern life, identity, and the concept of a dreamworldand why they continue to loom so large in our imagination.The Land of Happiness explores the far-reaching influence of the Japanese department store on mod…ern life and our imaginations. In this gorgeously illustrated volume, Nozomi Naoi explains how Japanese department stores modeled "the new modern Japanese life and identity" through print media and design, physical and imagined space, and the new experiences that these spaces offered. The stores created the notion of a modern subject enjoying a "land of happiness"and this, in turn, shaped the wider sociological context, including emerging roles for women and perceptions of coloniality.The book focuses on three areas: the mediascape of proliferating department store posters, advertisements, commercial design, promotional magazines, and merchandise; the physical space, such as the Western-style architecture that characterized many of these early department stores, and the imagined "modern space" created within their walls; and, finally, the production of a novel "dreamworld," which included dining spaces with children's menus, elevators, escalators, and more.While the research on department stores and their role in the quotidian experience is vast, there is nothing like this study, which is uniquely grounded in an art historical approach that draws upon the visual media environment of early twentieth-century Japan and its impact on the everyday. 256 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - How the overturning of Roe has imperiled high-risk pregnanciesand how to ensure safe patient healthcare in the future. From a leading doctor on the front lines after the Dobbs decision.Doctors and patients confronting high-risk pregnancies have always faced profound and life-altering decisions. B…ut after the 2022 Dobbs decision overturning Roe, many of these decisions seem impossible. As a firsthand witness to this convulsion, David Hackney, a leading physician in maternal fetal medicine, offers knowledgeable, thoughtful guidance to patients and practitioners contending with high-risk pregnancies in our new reality.Impossible Choices focuses on the practical implications of high-risk complications for people who are pregnant or considering pregnancyincluding conditions such as pre-eclampsia, premature membrane rupture, or birth defectsespecially in states now under abortion bans. And because maternal fetal medicine overlaps with other medical fields as pregnant patients struggle with, for instance, kidney disease, lupus, diabetes, and cancer, the book also addresses a wide array of medical questions and complications.How do we make decisions when thrown into extreme and uncertain circumstances The author answers this question and more by painting a nuanced and clear-eyed picture of obstetrics after Dobbs, illustrating his reflections with stories from his own practice, as well as those of his wife, in pediatric oncology. Without being partisan or polemical, the book offers the informed compassion and way forward that this fraught moment in maternal medicine calls for.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - How employers can compete in a challenging labor marketby hiring differently, redesigning job quality, and rethinking their government relations strategies. From two leaders in business and workforce development with a proven track record in innovative workforce strategies.Over the past ten years…, the U.S. labor market has been buffeted, with demand shifting dramatically. At the same time, demographic trends mean that U.S. labor supply will steadily tighten into the coming decade: Relatively fewer native-born workers are entering the workforce; a greater percentage are choosing not to work; and an aging baby boom generation is exiting the workforce. What's worse, this systemic tightening of the US labor market has been exacerbated by the Trump administration's decision to dramatically constrain immigration, the primary source of recent labor market growth.Welcome to the "forever-tight" labor market. In Help Wanted, Jerry Rubin and Steven Dawson combine their 80 years of experience in management and workforce development to offer employers an "employee-focused competitive strategy." This strategy includes a wide range of practical, well-researched tools and detailed case studies from a breadth of employers that will help readers compete for talent and retain a productive workforce.Since the underlying cause of the tightening labor supply is structural, employerswhether for-profit, nonprofit, or governmentalmust respond in kind. They too must undertake structural changes in finding, hiring, and retaining workers.Now equal in importance to an organization's customer-service strategy, an employee-focused strategy is no longer simply a competitive advantageit is fast becoming a competitive necessity.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Why labor works alongside environmental groups to advocate climate policies in some times and places but not others.Climate policy research increasingly identifies organized labor as a barrier to climate policy but also a potential supporter and calls for climate advocates to build coalitio…ns with labor. Getting to Work on Climate Policy explains why labor works alongside environmental groups to advocate climate policies in some times and places but not others, drawing on case studies of four states in the American West: California, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington.Using original interviews, data on legislators' voting records, and secondary sources, Geoffrey Henderson shows that when legislatures are gridlocked on climate policy, environmental groups are more likely to build coalitions to draw upon labor's political resources. In exchange, labor leaders seek certainty that climate policy will redound to union members' benefit, as well as credible commitments from environmental groups to uphold their promises of cooperation. This book offers strategic insights for advocates and demonstrates how the difficulty of enacting reforms in this era of partisan polarization motivates organized groups to cooperate. 240 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A revolutionary way of seeing bodies and built environment that unites radical politics and trans aesthetics. From a leading author and queer theorist known for reframing many of the most pressing questions about counter-intuitive ways of being.Anarchitecture, a radical aesthetic practice…of unmaking the built environment, staged a vigorous confrontation with urban renewal and gentrification projects in the 1970s. In Anarchitecture After Everything, Jack Halberstam identifies a powerful lexicon of transformation within anarchitecture, joining the movement's practices of cutting and splitting with the destabilizing power of transness to detonate acts of formal violence in our time.Anarchitecture describes the aesthetic practice of splitting and cutting, dismantling and undoing, unmaking, unbuilding, and ultimately unworlding. The trans body splits bodily coherence, dismantles the gender binary, and unbuilds bodily meaning. In these chapters, Gordon Matta-Clark's cuts, along with Alvin Baltrop's 1970s images of collapsing warehouses and Beverly Buchanan's post-demolition fragmentary sculptures, return with a vengeance through the contemporary aesthetic gestures of Yve Laris Cohen, Jesse Darling, Nicole Eisenman, Kiyan Williams, Cassils, boychild, and Every Ocean Hughes. Anarchitecture unmakes space and offers a new rhetoric for emptiness. In its conclusion, the book explores this rhetoric through Renee Gladman's anarchitectural experiments with language.By reading anarchitecture through transness and transness through anarchitecture, Halberstam helps us see the trans body as a space of radical unmaking and as a portal to new lexicons for transformation.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - An action-oriented guide to revitalizing higher education by putting learning at the center of institutional action.As the challenges to higher education continue to mount, we believe that the surest path forward is a renewed commitment to the primary purpose of colleges and universities:…higher learning. In Getting Learning Right, Chris Gallagher, Kristi Girdharry, and Kevin Smith argue that institutions can meet today's challengespublic skepticism, AI, political pressureby orienting decision making around a deep understanding of their learners and how learning actually works.The book examines institutional practices undertaken by colleges and universities that get learning right: listening to students; designing learning-focused environments; employing collaborative and project-based learning; helping students build networks of support and opportunity; offering flexible learning pathways; and codesigning and cocreating with students. Each practice is illustrated through key learning concepts, real institutional examples, and firsthand student accounts, whose reports offer fresh insights into more established concepts such as experiential learning and learning transfer.Written for practical and effective use, the book includes reflective questions at the end of each chapter that are designed to facilitate conversation and inform learning-grounded design.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -A comprehensive look at causality's theoretical and practical aspects in economics and finance.In Causal Modeling for Finance and Business, Frank Fabozzi and Sergio Focardi offer a foundation for understanding causal relationships and their importance in complex systems. Topics include the…theory of graphs, probabilistic frameworks, structural causal models, algorithms for learning causal structures, and the empirical testing of these models.The book emphasizes applying and deploying causal models in real-world business and investment scenarios. However, it also offers a novel theoretical perspective on causal modeling. Fabozzi and Focardi argue that causation is not a law of nature, but a characteristic of causal systems. If we accept the modern idea of causation as manipulability, causal systems are characterized by causal relationships as well as purely descriptive functional relationships.With these arguments in mind, the book addresses a critical gap in understanding and applying causal reasoning in complex systems. While correlations have often been relied upon in data analysis, decision-making in business and economics demands a deeper understanding of causation and functional relationships to drive actionable outcomes.The book's objective is to provide a comprehensive resource that bridges foundational theories and practical applications of causal models. By integrating recent advancements in artificial intelligence, probabilistic logic, and graph theory, the authors offer a robust framework for researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers to harness the power of causality in solving intricate problems. 288 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - How we can prepare children to find insights and cognitive agency in a world of ever shrinking opportunities to learn how things work.From infancy onwards, children show a natural interest in the hidden causes of surface patterns. But that kind of childhood is being derailed by a world tha…t is no longer causally transparent. Younger generations seek different kinds of explanations now, value different kinds of experts, and are more prone to outsource their understandings. In many cases, they don't realize how much they have surrendered their intellectual efficacy. What does this all mean for their learning In The Disappearance of Insight, Frank Keil investigates how rapid technological change is shaping the world around us--and what this all means for our children and their futures.Explanation and understanding are at the heart of a cognitively meaningful life. But the things we can explain and want to understand are dramatically changing. In many cases, over the past fifty years or so, those thingsand parts of thingshave shifted from easily interpretable components to opaque ones. In 1960, for example, the insides of thermostats, cameras, and clocks revealed how they worked. Today, their insides are indecipherable circuit boards.The author shows why insight and explanations are at the heart of higher-level human cognition; explores how artifacts and their roles in evolving cultures can shape thought and developing minds; and does much more, in this fascinating deep dive into cognition, learning, and AI.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A powerful new vision of cities as engines of planetary evolution and multispecies cooperation.Evolution, once associated with remote places and deep time, is unfolding in real time, much closer to home. Cities have become a new ecological stage on which evolution is taking place. Humans a…re now active participants shaping the trajectory of life on Earth. How can we use this knowledge to build more resilient and just futures for humans and other species In Cities for a Shared Planet, Marina Alberti envisions evolving urban ecosystems in which humans and other species shape their shared futures through new forms of cooperation. She argues that the convergence of rapid urbanization and accelerating environmental change may mark the onset of a major evolutionary transitionone that redefines the role of cities in planetary evolution. At the heart of this transformation is the emergence of bio-cooperative cities: adaptive, multispecies systems designed to sustain the evolutionary potential of urban life.Drawing on urban ecology, evolutionary biology, design theory, and environmental justice, Alberti develops the foundations of bio-cooperation, advancing ecological interdependence and eco-evolutionary dynamics as core principles of urban design. Through imaginative scenarios and real-world case studiesfrom Singapore, Seattle, New York City, Ho Chi Minh City, and Cape Townthe book shows how multispecies interactions are transforming infrastructure, reshaping urban space, and redefining how urban environments are inhabited and evolve.Engaging and eye-opening, Cities for a Shared Planet reimagines cities as active participants in a shared planetary future.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A fascinating look at how Japanese department stores of the twentieth century influenced modern life, identity, and the concept of a dreamworldand why they continue to loom so large in our imagination.The Land of Happiness explores the far-reaching influence of the Japanese department store on mo…dern life and our imaginations. In this gorgeously illustrated volume, Nozomi Naoi explains how Japanese department stores modeled "the new modern Japanese life and identity" through print media and design, physical and imagined space, and the new experiences that these spaces offered. The stores created the notion of a modern subject enjoying a "land of happiness"and this, in turn, shaped the wider sociological context, including emerging roles for women and perceptions of coloniality.The book focuses on three areas: the mediascape of proliferating department store posters, advertisements, commercial design, promotional magazines, and merchandise; the physical space, such as the Western-style architecture that characterized many of these early department stores, and the imagined "modern space" created within their walls; and, finally, the production of a novel "dreamworld," which included dining spaces with children's menus, elevators, escalators, and more.While the research on department stores and their role in the quotidian experience is vast, there is nothing like this study, which is uniquely grounded in an art historical approach that draws upon the visual media environment of early twentieth-century Japan and its impact on the everyday.
