Big and Green
Author: David Gissen
Publisher: Princeton Architectural Press
ISBN: 9781568983615
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
More than a century after its inception, the skyscraper has finally come of age. Though it has long been lampooned as a venal and inhospitable guzzler of resources, a revolutionary new school of skyscraper design has refashioned the idiom with buildings that are sensitive to their environments, benevolent to their occupants, and economically viable to build and maintain. Designed by some of the best-known architects in the world, these towers are as daring aesthetically as they are innovative environmentally. Big and Green is the first book to examine the sustainable skyscraper, its history, the technologies that make it possible, and its role in the future of urban development. The book examines more than 40 of the most important recent sustainable skyscrapers-including Fox & Fowle's Reuters Buildings in New York, Norman Foster's Commerzbank in Frankfurt, and MVRDV's spectacular Dutch Pavilion from Expo 2000 in Hanover-with project descriptions, photographs, and detailed drawings. Interviews with such leaders in the field as Sir Richard Rogers, William McDonough, and Kenneth Yeang are also included.

21st Century Philosophy
Author: James Ward
Publisher: Cool Millennium
ISBN:
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
21st Century Philosophy uses selected popular texts, all written in the last decade, as a window through which to examine contemporary social and cultural issues. What are the long-term prospects for ‘New Atheism’? On balance, is the United States chiefly a force for good, or is it bent on hegemony? Is the optimism of the Enlightenment a historical curiosity, or can it be revived? To what extent can quality fiction enlarge the modern imagination, and how far are we stuck in a rut of banality? What is the connection between academic ideals and the proliferation of kitsch? What light can Rousseau or Russell, Hume or Heidegger, Schopenhauer or Sartre shed on these sorts of questions - if any? The book consists of eight essays that can be read in any order, with a combined length of over 80,000 words. The author has a master’s degree and a DPhil, both in Philosophy from Sussex University. His doctoral thesis was examined in viva and passed unconditionally by David McLellan, Emeritus Professor of Political Theory at the University of Kent and author of many standard texts about Marx in English. In 1998, James Ward won joint first prize (along with Martha Nussbaum and Lars Gårding) in a philosophical dialogues competition organised by the Humanities Research Centre at Oxford University and the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm. Its subject was Søren Kierkegaard. The dialogue was performed at the Royal Dramatic Theatre, Stockholm, in front of an invited audience, and subsequently published in Comparative Criticism vol. 20 (Cambridge University Press, 1998).

The Fourth Wave
Author: Herman Maynard
Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers
ISBN: 1609946022
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
Applying the concept of historical waves originally propounded by Alvin Toffler in The Third Wave, Herman Maynard and Susan Mehrtens look toward the next century and foresee a "fourth wave," an era of integration and responsibility far beyond Toffler's revolutionary description of third-wave postindustrial society. Whether we attain this stage of global well-being, however, will depend on how well our business institutions adapt and change. The Fourth Wave examines the ways business has changed in the second and third waves and must continue to change in the fourth. The changes concern the basics-how an institution is organized, how it defines wealth, how it relates to surrounding communities, how it responds to environmental needs, and how it takes part in the political process. Maynard and Mehrtens foresee a radically different future in which business principles, concern for the environment, personal integrity, and spiritual values are integrated. The authors also demonstrate the need for a new kind of leadership-managers and CEOs who embrace an attitude of global stewardship; who define their assets as ideas, information, creativity, and vision; and who strive for seamless boundaries between work and private lives for all employees.

Book Description
"Leading the Pack" is a must read and a refreshing change from an academic approach to a realistic world view of Leadership in privately held businesses in the 21st century.

"Leading the Pack" focuses on all the leadership issues that are likely to keep you up at night. Rick does an excellent job outlining the success formulas for being an effective "Lead Wolf" executive facing the diversified challenges of the 21st century for privately held businesses. Tom Marino, CEO, Exotic Automation & Supply "When it comes to understanding leadership as it applies to business today --- this book is Outstanding...the content is very informational and intuitive.

You will go away after reading this book with a deeper insight on leadership, not only in the business world but also in life a book for EVERYONE to benefit from. Take the initiative and become a Lead Wolf!." Heather Parsons, Professor, University of Dayton Leading the Pack is a well written book about the dynamics of managing change and leading people.
