This book explores how modern technologies-especially data analytics, machine learning (ML), and the Internet of Things (IoT)-are transforming supply chain and manufacturing operations. Bridging academic research and industrial practice, the book presents data as a strategic asset driving agility, efficiency, and resilience.Structured around four themes, it covers:-- Foundational analytics and optimization-- Predictive and prescriptive analytics for proactive decision-making-- Real-time IoT data for workflow monitoring and control-- Digital Twins and Natural Language Processing (NLP) for modeling and interactionChapters include mathematical modeling, case studies, and implementation frameworks, with coverage spanning stochastic forecasting, reinforcement learning, anomaly detection, and semantic parsing of logistics documentation.Key benefits include its emphasis on integrated intelligence-blending ML, IoT, and simulation for real-time, predictive insights. It also highlights scalability across industries, with tools adaptable to sectors like automotive, healthcare, and aerospace. Each chapter concludes with open problems and future directions, offering a roadmap for innovation in intelligent operations.

From Predictive Analytics to Natural Language Processing

Data-Driven Innovation in Supply Chains and Manufacturing

Leadership has a friction problem. 
 Not because people are weak.
 Not because teams are broken.
 Not because organizations lack talent.
Because work is happening under more pressure, with fewer buffers, less context, and more opportunities for human strain to spread quickly.
Everything about modern work is built for speed. But human beings are not.
In Friction, Maggie Sass and Ross Blankenship argue that the invisible force shaping performance, retention, trust, decision quality, and culture is not just workload or poor communication. It is friction: the emotional tension that shows up when being human collides with high expectations.
And most of us have never been taught what to do with it.
We tend to think of leadership as strategy and execution, and emotions as a side effect. But the truth is, many workplace breakdowns happen in the moments right before and after something small but charged: a triggering comment, a tense silence, a missed expectation, a rushed decision, a piece of feedback, a conversation that goes slightly sideways and is never fully repaired.
That is where friction lives. 
And that is where this book begins.
Drawing on original research from a broad, generalizable sample of the U.S. working population, Sass and Blankenship introduce a practical new framework for understanding how emotions actually show up at work—and what effective professionals and leaders can do about them. They show that friction is not random, and it is not merely personal. It happens across three levels at once:
<ul><li>Internal friction: what is happening inside you including your reactions, identity, forecasting, and nervous system 
</li><li>Interpersonal friction: what is happening between people, such as trust, defensiveness, feedback, and repair 
</li><li>System friction: what is happening in the environment—norms, incentives, staffing, policies, and decision structures</li></ul>
Because friction is contagious, solving only one layer rarely works. 
Read Friction if:
<ul><li>You want a better explanation for why smart, capable people still struggle at work 
</li><li>You want practical tools for handling pressure without passing it on 
</li><li>You are trying to lead or collaborate in conditions that feel faster, hotter, and less forgiving than they used to 
</li><li>You know culture problems often show up in small moments first </li><li>You want to get better at noticing tension early and responding on purpose 
</li><li>You are looking for a leadership book that connects self-awareness, relationships, and systems instead of treating them separately</li></ul>
Friction shows readers how to reduce the costly kind of friction, like avoidable conflict, rework, resentment, poor follow-through, spirals, and decision drag, while using productive friction to sharpen thinking, strengthen relationships, and improve outcomes.
Inside, readers will discover strategies including:
Calibrating Your Inner Forecaster.A practical method for noticing when your predictions are being shaped by threat, fatigue, or identity pressure so you can respond with more accuracy and self-control.
Listen for What’s at Stake. A way to hear the fear, status risk, or unmet need underneath someone’s reaction so you can address the real issue instead of fighting the surface behavior.
Premium Strategy, Regular Fuel. A system-level reminder that high expectations mean little without the time, staffing, clarity, and support required to sustain them.
Sass and Blankenship’s edge is integration. Most books live in one lane: inner work, communication, or culture. Friction brings all three together and gives readers practical experiments to test in real life.
For readers of Emotional Intelligence 2.0, Friction offers a fresh leadership framework for an era defined by overload, ambiguity, and rapid transformation. As more work is automated, the leaders who stand out will know how to read friction, work with it, and turn it into better decisions, stronger relationships, and healthier performance.
The goal is not to lead without friction. The goal is to lead through it, better.

This book provides a vital, critical criminological contribution to ongoing discussions regarding the so-called 'psychedelic renaissance' by affording an in-depth ethnographic study of unregulated contexts of psychedelic drug use. It identifies and examines three case studies representing prominent contexts of unregulated, non-clinical psychedelic drug use including: the individual psychedelic drug use of military veterans, the touristic consumption of ayahuasca ‘shamanism’ in Amazonian Peru, and the operation of psychedelic retreat companies within the ‘spiritual supermarket’ realm. Employing qualitative ethnographic methods, this book examines the various meanings being ascribed to psychedelic drugs within these unregulated contexts, exploring how their use and effects are being narratively constructed by users, facilitators, and other prevalent actors, and critically highlighting the complex socio-cultural factors at play. This book may be of key interest to any social scientist currently engaged in critical debates and research regarding psychedelic drugs, their use, and the contemporary psychedelic 'renaissance' phenomenon, and to any clinician looking for an expanded, qualitative discussion of psychedelic drug use beyond the quantitative, experimental, and clinical fields.

Management accounting has always been a discipline in motion. From its origins in the factories of the Industrial Revolution to today's boardrooms filled with digital dashboards, it has evolved with every wave of change. Yet never before has the field faced challenges as profound as those posed by digital transformation and sustainability. In Management Accounting Innovations in the Era of Digitalization and Sustainability, Hesham Yousef, Samuel Sponem, and Lorenzo Lucianetti tell the story of how management accounting adapts to change. They show that innovations emerge not simply as technical fixes, but as dynamic responses shaped by external pressures, internal drivers, and organizational realities. The authors bring this narrative into the present, illustrating how artificial intelligence, big data, blockchain, and cloud computing are reshaping the tools and functions of accounting, while sustainability is redefining its future as organizations embed environmental, social, and governance concerns at the core of their systems. At its core, this book shows how management accounting is constantly challenged and reimagined to stay relevant in turbulent times. Drawing on history, theory, and practice, the authors argue that its future lies not in rigid tools but in adaptive approaches that help organizations respond to change, seize opportunities, and create value for both business and society--making this an essential read for scholars, practitioners, and students navigating an age of digital disruption and sustainability.

'Has the power to change the way you look at the world' Steven Bartlett'The heir to Oliver Sacks' David BaddielA FINANCIAL TIMESBEST BOOK OF 2024AN INDEPENDENTBOOK OF THE MONTHGluttony. Greed. Sloth. Pride. Envy. Lust. Anger.These are the seven deadly sins, the vices of humankind that define immorality, the roots of all evil in the world. Or so some believe.But do these sins really represent moral failings, or are they simply human functions that aid us? Are they just the result of how our bodies, psyches, and brains in particular, are wired?This new book by Dr Guy Leschziner, a professor of neurology and sleep medicine, explores the underlying nature of the seven deadly sins, their neuroscientific and psychological basis, their origin in our genes and crucially how certain medical disorders give rise to them.Drawing on his clinical practice, we meet individuals whose physical and psychological conditions have given rise to these sins, where brain injury or other experiences have sparked 'immoral' actions. He explores how illness can simply expose what lies within us and investigates how the origins of these traits lie in evolutionary imperatives to preserve the wellbeing of the tribe. Perhaps, he suggests, these character traits are less of a moral question and more biological, which raises fundamental issues of responsibility and blame in the face of 'sin'.Combining cutting-edge science placed in the context of real-life experience with patients, the book reexamines where the boundaries between normal human nature, pathology and sin are drawn. And, most importantly, whether these hard-wired traits truly represent sin, or simply the intensity of our intrinsic desire to survive and thrive.
