Shaping a DesignedUp Organisation: The Journey to Design Maturity
by Emma Carter“Emma Carter reveals how organizations can shift from tech-centric to design-led, creating meaningful experiences. Through case studies and practical frameworks, she demonstrates how scaling design isn’t about adding more designers but transforming how organizations think and operate. This essential guide helps leaders embed design thinking at every level, turning transformation into a continuous evolution.In Shaping a DesignedUp Organisation Emma Carter distills the essence of digital transformation: true progress lies in simplifying through design thinking, not adding complexity. Like a conductor harmonizing an orchestra, she shows how tech and design can work together to serve human needs. More than a book on shaping and scaling design, this is a vision for a more powerful, humane digital future—essential for those bridging technology and human experience.”—John Maeda, VP Engineering, Head of Computational Design / AI Platform, MicrosoftThe learnings gained from Shaping a DesignedUp Organisation will not only give design leaders a seat at the table, it’ll make them the smartest person at the table - creating influence, driving conversations for growth, and ultimately shaping their company into a ‘design mature’ organisation.But that’s not to say this book is strictly for design leaders. Tech leaders, product leaders and business leaders will come to see how business performance and design are intrinsically linked. You’ll gain intimate insights from leaders at world-leading organisations like Spotify, Disney, Airbnb, Monzo and frog and learn about a variety of frameworks and practical approaches to help your organisation reach design maturity with a human focus.And if you’re in an organisation not convinced by the value of design, you’ll learn how to translate the benefits of embedding design at every touchpoint in a way that’s meaningful, valuable and profitable to various stakeholders, creating an army of design advocates to future proof your organisation…and decrease its risk of becoming a dinosaur.
Major Blunders of The Second World War: New Insights into Mistakes and their Consequences
by Andrew SangsterBlunders and their Consequences: Examining Errors of the Second World WarWar is rife with mistakes, but the consequences can be catastrophic when those errors escalate to blunders caused by carelessness or ignorance. In the Second World War context, these blunders often led to devastating loss of life, strategic failures, and enduring controversies. This book delves into such incidents, from obscure mishaps to high-profile missteps. Among the tales are the shocking story of an American destroyer accidentally firing a live torpedo at a battleship carrying President Roosevelt, and a German aircraft crash-landing in neutral territory with critical invasion plans onboard. Overconfidence played a key role in many tragedies, such as a Luftwaffe raid that struck American gas shells, causing widespread casualties, and the Dieppe raid, which became a planning disaster. Some incidents remain fiercely debated. The British sinking of the French fleet continues to raise questions about necessity versus error, while King Edward VIII&’s alleged treachery may stem more from naivety than intent. The conviction of Admiral Karl Dönitz at Nuremberg also sparks controversy, as his U-boat tactics mirrored Allied strategies. Through vivid storytelling and detailed analysis, this book exposes the human error behind critical wartime decisions, from tactical misjudgments to intelligence failures. It examines the hidden and often overlooked blunders that shaped the course of WWII, offering a fresh perspective on the complexities of war and the fragile nature of leadership under pressure.

Institutional Acceleration: The Consequences of Technological Change in a Digital Economy (Elements in Evolutionary Economics)
by Jason Potts Chris Berg Darcy W. AllenThis Element develops a theory of institutional acceleration to explain the transformation to a digital economy through a cluster of frontier technologies: artificial intelligence, blockchain, quantum computing, cryptography, and low-earth orbit infrastructure. Unlike previous technological revolutions, these technologies transform not how we organise things, but how we coordinate economic activity. The authors' supertransition thesis explains why these digital technologies shouldn't be understood in isolation, but rather should be understood in how they combine to create new institutional possibilities, leading to more open, complex, and global economic systems. Drawing on evolutionary economics and institutional theory, this Element shows how this evolutionary process is reshaping our institutional economic architecture. Ultimately, institutional acceleration drives greater computation and knowledge into our economic systems.
The Metaphysics of Divine Participation (Elements In the History of Philosophy and Theology in the West)
by Alexander J. HamptonParticipation has been central to the story of Western philosophy and theology for at least two millennia. It has been employed to conceptualise the relationship between God and creation, between universals and particulars, and between the One and the many. This Element approaches the concept systematically to acquire an appreciation of its breadth and depth under four fundamental themes: creation and the divine ideas, incarnation and salvation, being and multiplicity, and the human activities of naming, knowing and making. In doing so it examines some of the key thinkers in the participatory tradition, including Augustine, Irenaeus, Aquinas and Nicholas of Cusa. Readers will be introduced to the key contours and manifestations of participatory metaphysics, and its role in Christianity's self-articulation. Together, these considerations will demonstrate how the metaphysics of participation has shaped the Christian tradition.
What Do We Know and What Should We Do About Abolishing Prisons? (What Do We Know and What Should We Do About:)

Le Moulin-à-Fleur de Sudbury: Quartier ouvrier, territoire canadien-français (Amérique française)
by Serge Dupuis M. Normand CarreyÀ son apogée entre 1945 et 1975, le Moulin-à-Fleur ou la paroisse Saint-Jean-de-Brébeuf se vantait d’être le quartier francophone de Sudbury et de l’Ontario. Il représentait en effet la pierre angulaire pour les autres communautés francophones ainsi que le fondement de la vie culturelle, économique et politique des Franco-Ontariens. Mais l’histoire n’a jamais été racontée de façon détaillée.Des années de recherches approfondies ont incité les auteurs à se plonger dans de nombreux écrits, articles scientifiques, archives personnelles, articles de journaux et témoignages afin de livrer cette première étude globale.Divisé en deux volets qui se complètent, ce récit retrace à la fois l’héritage des familles qui se sont battues pour offrir un quotidien et un avenir brillants à leur descendance et la lutte féroce menée par des pionniers, notamment Omer Thériault, Gaétan Gervais et Hélène Gravel, pour la défense culturelle et patrimoniale.Mais tous ces souvenirs dorment dans les rues de l’ancien quartier ou comme Mme Tregonning-Whissell le disait, «à l’ombre des silos». Ce livre témoigne des origines d’une communauté marquée par le dur labeur des mineurs de l’International Nickel, tout en évoquant le rôle des enseignants qui éveillaient les jeunes générations à un monde de possibilités. Le Moulin-à-Fleur de Sudbury rend hommage aux valeurs de charité et d’entraide qu’incarnait ce quartier qui célèbre au-delà de 120 ans de vie communautaire et culturelle.
Migration et racialisation en temps de « crise »: La fabrique des crises et ses effets (Études en développement international et mondialisation)
by Christina Clark-Kazak Stéphanie Garneau Leila BenhadjoudjaCrise sanitaire, crise migratoire, crise humanitaire, crise climatique… Le renvoi répété à l’idée de crise pour désigner nombre de bouleversements sociaux laisse à penser que nous vivons désormais dans un monde « crisogène ».Or, l’urgence inhérente à l’idée de crise conduit souvent à légitimer la violation des droits et le renforcement de la surveillance, du profilage et des arrestations arbitraires, rendant visible le contrôle qu’exerce l’État sur les corps, et surtout sur certains corps.Migration et racialisation en temps de « crise » explore les ressorts coloniaux, racistes et sexistes au fondement de diverses déclarations de crise, ainsi que leurs effets. L’ensemble des contributions montre que l’état de crise apparaît comme une condition pour le maintien d’un capitalisme racial et patriarcal.

Prince of Darkness (Dark Protectors)

Yet there is another thorn in his side, no less vexing, undeniably captivating—and all-too-human . . . Lyrica Graves was once ensnared by Kurjan captors and now embodies defiance and freedom as she guides other women to independence and modernity. She is particularly amused—and breathtakingly challenged—by her battles with Vero. But their clashing also belies a sizzling connection, a dark attraction between supernatural and fully human that threatens their chosen destinies and makes them a target for far too many bloodthirsty enemies . . .

Doing Democracy in "Third Places": Youth Citizenship Education
by Stéphanie Gaudet Caroline Caron Sophie Théwissen-LeBlancResulting from a collaborative approach, Doing Democracy in "Third Places" presents the results of multi-site ethnographic research in seven Quebec civil society organizations. It reports on observations, analyses and comparisons of a diversity of innovative citizenship education practices aimed at young people in these “third places”, i.e. socialization spaces different from school and family.Focusing on the presentation of case studies, the book reveals the diversity of formative experiences offered to young Quebecers. The pooling of case analyses leads to a fruitful reflection on education for democratic citizenship through a plurality of citizen experimentation practices rooted in the defense of children’s rights, feminist social action, the community movement, alterglobalism and municipal and school public action. With its original conceptual vocabulary and qualitative methodological approach, this book will help to push back the geolinguistic and disciplinary boundaries that often separate research currents closely or remotely related to the social and political engagement and participation of young people. Written in an accessible style, it is aimed at a wide audience, including youth organization staff, graduate students, the youth policy sector and anyone interested in the issues surrounding youth citizenship in the 21st century.

The Care Dividend: Why and How Countries Should Invest in Long-Term Care (European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies)
by Ludovico Carrino Jonathan Cylus George Wharton Stefania Illinica Manfred Huber Sarah Louise BarberLong-term care often falls by the wayside in national policy dialogues. As populations age around the world and the prevalence of chronic conditions increases, greater numbers of people will need care and support, putting added pressures on acute-care facilities, communities, and families, among others. This increase in demand for long-term care raises questions about the capacity of governments to provide access to needed care, how these services will be properly resourced and who should receive these benefits. The Care Dividend provides a roadmap for investing in long-term care systems. It argues for increased public investment in high-quality, universally accessible long-term care and explains why these systems benefit everyone: households, health systems, economies, and societies. Bringing together a team of academics and policy experts from around the world, this book explains why and how governments can, and should, take action. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
