The Principles of Family Business Law offers an accessible approach to legal issues that shape family businesses. Drawing on years of research, the book introduces three principles - intimacy, integration, and inheritance - that explain why family businesses are distinctive and how, with proper guidance, they can thrive. The book examines recurring problems such as role conflicts among family members, succession planning obstacles, and ownership disputes. Vivid case studies illustrate how legal rules interact with family dynamics in practice. Designed for scholars, students, lawyers, and business advisors, the book integrates insights from corporate law, family law, and estate planning, while remaining readable and grounded in real-world concerns. Whether used in the classroom or in practice, it provides essential tools for navigating the complex interplay of law and family business. By supporting the resilience of family businesses, the book affirms the family and community values they help to sustain.

Don't Be Evil

Author, curator and podcaster Bruno Giussani was the European director and global curator of the TED conferences for two decades (2005-24). In 
 Our Minds Under Siege,
 the specialist of digital culture writes about the "technologies of influence" and their social and political implications. In a world saturated with information, social media, artificial intelligence and strategies of cognitive influence, our capacity for thinking clearly and understanding reality is itself under threat. It is no longer only about disinformation and fake news: these technologies capture our attention, appropriate our data, analyze and exploit our emotions and challenge our autonomy of thought.
 Giussani decrypts how AI and other algorithmic technologies work and what their impacts are. He explains the nature of the relationship that is developing between us and these machines and the economic and power structures in which they exist. And he offers guidance to resisting against this technological takeover and for us to become competent users of AI without being used by it.

In an era of unprecedented change and disruption, internal consultants are emerging as key agents of transformation-driving innovation, generating value, and navigating complex challenges across industries.

From navigating internal politics to building trust and credibility, the insights shared here are both practical and research-driven.
Written by a diverse group of scholar-practitioners, this volume bridges theory and real-world application, making it an essential resource for academics, consultants, HR leaders, and executives alike.

Non-Financial Reporting and ESG Performance

A sharp history of journalism's digital unraveling in the age of algorithms. In the past three decades, the battle between big tech and big journalism has reshaped how we consume the news. Jason Whittaker delves into how tech giants outmaneuvered traditional media companies, siphoning off advertising revenue and audience attention. As journalism struggled to adapt, social media platforms evolved from utopian public spaces into breeding grounds for misinformation and fake news, eroding public trust. The influence of billionaires further complicated the digital ecosystem, swaying public opinion and exercising direct political power, of which previous media moguls could only dream. More recently, AI has begun to revolutionize content creation, distribution, and consumption. Overall, this thirty-year period has witnessed a tangled mix of progress, contention, and disinformation. Incorporating stories about The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Los Angeles Times, Bloomberg, and many other media outlets from around the world, and discussing key figures and companies in big tech and AI like Facebook/Meta, Cambridge Analytica, Google, Microsoft, Twitter/X and Elon Musk, Edward Snowden, Jakob Uszkoreit, OpenAI, ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and more, Whittaker provides an incisive examination of the frequently combative relations of these two industries and the uncertain future of the news in the digital age.
