Intellectual Property Debates in South Asia

It is seldom, if ever, that readers and writers see the different stages of a piece of writing in progress. In this unique volume, 16 of the US's most distinguished writers pull back the curtain on their creative and revision processes whilst drafting their works of creative nonfiction. Using side-by-side examples of first drafts and final versions of their writing, including original full-page reproductions from the writers' personal notebooks, an original, illuminating essay accompanies each draft that recounts the journey from inspiration to completion. Offering a generous insight into the creative process from the rough bold strokes to refined, clear, elegant prose, this behind-the-scenes look delves into the creative minds of working writers, including African American, Latino, Asian American, and indigenous writers from across the US. An invaluable resource for students and instructors looking to enliven the classroom or just offering practicing writers a peak into the processes of their peers, this book presents the false starts and missteps, the self-editing, tinkering, cutting, rearranging, and craft working writers make in the plight for perfectly polished prose. With nothing like it on the market, The Art of Revising Creative Nonfiction is an enlightening and unparalleled collection of modern-day creativity in action, a must have for aspiring writers and teachers of all levels.

How To Live An Extraordinary Life

Warum Homo bestialis und Homo culturalis sich die Hand reichen müssenGibt es eine universelle menschliche Natur? Wie frei und vernunftbasiert ist unser Handeln wirklich? Bestsellerautorin und Biologin Meike Stoverock widmet sich der hochaktuellen Frage nach den Grenzen des freien Willens. In 'Human Nature' erkundet sie die Möglichkeiten, die in einem tieferen Verständnis menschlichen Verhaltens liegen - und zeigt, wie wir die Erkenntnisse für notwendigen gesellschaftlichen Wandel nutzen können.Eigentlich leben wir doch in einem Zeitalter der Vernunft: Wir verfügen über mehr Wissen als je zuvor und unsere Zukunftsmodelle werden immer genauer. Und doch scheinen wir als Gesellschaft auf der Stelle zu treten - der Klimawandel schreitet weiter voran, die Kluft zwischen Arm und Reich wächst, der Populismus ist weltweit auf dem Vormarsch und zur Gendergerechtigkeit ist es auch noch ein weiter Weg. Gesellschaftlicher Fortschritt lässt sich nicht allein durch gute Argumente und ausgeklügelte Studien, also auf rationaler Ebene, forcieren. In "Human Nature" zeigt Meike Stoverock auf beeindruckend klare Weise, dass biologische Einflüsse im gesellschaftlichen Diskurs viel stärker in den Fokus rücken müssen. Denn es gilt: Freie Entscheidungen und vernünftiges Handeln gibt es nur im Rahmen physischer Grenzen und psychologischer Selbsterkenntnis. Meike Stoverock löst den vermeintlichen Widerspruch zwischen Gefühl und Verstand auf und eröffnet so völlig neue Zukunftsperspektiven.

Über die Grenzen gesellschaftlichen Wandels

Human Nature

Reciprocity begins with a simple but unsettling question: why have we come to believe that human beings are naturally self-interested, competitive and acquisitive? This galvanising, perspective-shifting book dismantles the myth of Homo economicus to show us the way towards a world whose realities align with our true selves.Drawing on a variety of disciplines, including anthropology, archaeology, evolutionary biology, psychology, economics and social epidemiology, Richard Wilkinson demonstrates that the characteristics which we assume to be our human nature are in fact effects of the market societies we live in. He traces how various systems of exchange have created profoundly different forms of social life throughout the course of history, shaping our behaviours, motivations, and the kinds of people we become. Though it may often feel like it, the avarice and oppressions that defines the twenty-first century are not an unchangeable reality we simply have to live with.The book explains why inequality, status competition and consumerism hold so much power over us and reveals the depths to which these forces are entwined with the ever-rising crises of mental illness, political polarisation and environmental destruction. Rather than asking how we can make individuals behave better, it makes a compelling case for restructuring our societies to make life happier, meaningful and more fulfilling for one and all.Rigorously researched, bracingly practical and full of passion and hope in equal measure, Reciprocity offers a bold reinterpretation of the world we live in. It equips us with the necessary tools to look beyond and remake it in our very own, amiably human image.

Reclaiming Our Humanity from the Market

Reciprocity

This open access book reimagines gender-based poverty in urban areas as a human rights issue, offering a transformative legal framework to address one of the most pressing and overlooked challenges of our time. More than half the world's population now lives in cities, with women comprising a growing share of the urban population/residents/people living in urban areas. Yet gender-based poverty remains a persistent and under-addressed issue in international human rights law. No existing convention explicitly tackles the intersection of gender, poverty, and urbanisation. This book breaks new ground by arguing that gender-based poverty in urban areas can - and should - be recognised as a human rights violation. Drawing on legal theory, feminist legal studies, and international human rights frameworks, the book critiques current legal approaches that treat poverty as a social or moral issue, rather than a structural and multidimensional injustice. It advances Sandra Fredman's four-dimensional model of substantive equality - disadvantage, recognition, participation, and transformation - as a more effective legal lens. Focusing on the right to adequate housing, the book explores how states' obligations to respect, protect, and fulfil can be clarified and strengthened through this model. It also examines how principles of equality and non-discrimination interact with progressive realisation and economic, social, and cultural rights. By bridging theory and practice, and incorporating perspectives from the Global South, the book offers a timely and original contribution to human rights law. It provides legal professionals, scholars, and development practitioners with a powerful framework for embedding gender equality in urban policy and advancing social justice through law. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation.

Human Rights Obligations and Gender-Based Poverty in Urban Areas

A practical, clever, down-to-earth guide to making decisions big or small, fast—from writer, journalist, and nationally acclaimed decision coach Nell McShane Wulfhart. We are drowning in choices—from major life decisions like whether to move, marry, or change careers, to relentless daily dilemmas about what to wear, eat, say, or do. In a world that glorifies optimization and “smart” choices, we’ve wound up paralyzed, deferring, deliberating, and overthinking to the point of exhaustion.&nbsp; Decision-making has become a source of stress instead of empowerment. Nell McShane Wulfhart is here to change that. In Decide in an Hour, she tackles the epidemic of indecision head-on and offers readers a lifeline: the tools to make better choices quickly, without feeling guilty, spiraling, or second-guessing. In this book, Wulfhart teaches us how to: <ul><li>identify the decision we’re actually making (a shockingly common obstacle)</li><li>eliminate noise and make the call—fast</li><li>follow through with confidence, even when others disagree</li><li>make the most common major life choices (career, relationships, kids, where to live) through the use of a decision-making field guide</li></ul> Equal parts wise, warm, and no-nonsense, Decide in an Hour offers clarity and momentum for how to start making smart, confident decisions today.

The Handbook for Making Better Decisions Faster

Decide in an Hour

What if the biggest obstacle to solving our problems is nothing more than a failure to believe that we can?Rick Caruso has spent his life stepping optimistically into places where other people see no way forward by asking a deceptively simple question: What can we do to make this better? From his appointment as Commissioner to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and later the City's troubled Police Department, to the creation of his bold and innovative real estate ventures including L.A.'s world-renowned retail center The Grove, Caruso built a reputation for finding steadfast solutions even in the face of staunch adversity. By employing the great teachers of experience and curiosity, he continues to do what he can to improve Los Angeles, the city he loves, and in Breaking New Ground, he shares lessons learned along the way--while offering us all a path forward to a better future.Again and again, Caruso discovered that breakthroughs rarely come from knowing everything at the outset. They come from asking better questions, bringing the right people into the room, listening without ego, separating ideology from reality, and refusing to give up until workable solutions emerge. Ultimately, they require a steadfast dedication to the belief that there is always a solution and that defeat is not an option.Breaking New Ground is the story of how his philosophy was forged--from the examples of immigrant grandparents and a father who lost one fortune and built another, to Caruso's own successes, failures, public battles, family life, faith, and unexpected turns through business and government.Caruso is less interested in prescribing a formula for becoming successful than in exploring how successful problem-solvers think: how they distinguish what matters from what merely makes noise; how they balance conviction with compromise; how they recognize when conventional wisdom has stopped working; and how they remain fearless enough to see difficult decisions through.Part memoir, part argument, and part blueprint for action, Breaking New Ground offers a timely proposition for anyone confronting a problem that feels too complicated, entrenched, or divisive to solve.There is always another way forward. Sometimes you simply have to be willing to build it.

It’s Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!

The Power of Finding Steadfast Solutions

Breaking New Ground

How apprenticeship shaped the English economy Apprenticeship dominated training and skill formation in early modern Europe. Years spent learning from a skilled master were a nearly universal experience for young workers in crafts and trade. In England, when apprenticeship reached its peak, as many as a third of all teenage males would serve and learn as apprentices. In The Market for Skill, Patrick Wallis shows how apprenticeship helped reshape the English economy. Some historians see apprenticeship as a key ingredient in the industrial revolution; others agree with Adam Smith in seeing it as wasteful and conservative. Wallis shows that neither of these perspectives is entirely accurate. He offers a new account of apprenticeship and the market for skill in England, analyzing the records of hundreds of thousands of individual apprentices to tell the story of how apprenticeship worked and how it contributed to the transformation of England. Wallis details the activities of apprentices and masters, the strategies of ambitious parents, the interventions of guilds and the decisions of town officials. He shows how the system of early modern apprenticeship contributed to the growth of cities, the movement of workers from farms to manufacturing and the spread of new technologies and productive knowledge. In this groundbreaking study, Wallis argues that apprenticeship succeeded precisely because it was a flexible institution which allowed apprentices to change their minds and exit contracts early. Apprenticeship provided a vital channel for training that families could trust and that was accessible to most young people, whatever their background.

Routledge Environmental Humanities

With particular focus on more-than-human experience, this creative-critical book explores the role of literary storytelling in representing and communicating the oceanic environmental crisis.While investigating the creative potential of scholarship in material ecocriticism and the blue humanities, this book examines the theoretical tools needed while developing the poetic and creative role of scholarship in imagining a livable oceanic future. To overcome anthropocentric views of nature, it argues that a fluid and more-than-human literary form is needed. This is developed in the book as a 'jellyfish poetics': a literary structuring device based on the jellyfish life cycle. The book not only theorises this new form, but also enacts it, presenting original and innovative research that embodies a synthesis between creative and scholarly approaches. With its main focus being more-than-human experience of oceanic environmental issues, central case studies are jellyfish, ecological depletion in the North Sea and recent nature-based Dutch water management.This is an important book for scholars interested in the intersection of blue humanities and creative writing as well as the wider environmental humanities. Additionally, it is relevant to practitioners, writers and educators who grapple with the challenge of representing environmental crisis.
