THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERThe world's criminals earn trillions every year. They keep almost all of it. Every effort to stop them has failed. Why? Join Oliver Bullough through the looking glass, voyaging through the dark heart of the global economy: where flows of dirty banknotes, designer goods and baby eels prop up illicit networks spanning from Miami to Shanghai - via, strangely, North Oxfordshire. Cryptocurrencies flow through ledgers that would look familiar to a fifteenth-century Florentine banker. Casinos, lottery tickets and government ignorance all power the merry-go-round of dirty money. And it all works brilliantly. Better than ever. There has never been a better time to be a criminal. It's time that changed.

Designing Systems That Shape Workplace Culture and Performance

Build Excellence

This book was written for new, existing, and aspiring plant managers as a practical guideline for understanding what it means to run a manufacturing operation. It clarifies the plant manager's role as the central coordinator of people, processes, equipment, and resources, helping readers grasp how these elements interact to create a safe, efficient, and profitable environment. For someone stepping into the role for the first time, this foundation reduces uncertainty and builds confidence by translating complex responsibilities into clear, manageable concepts.Beyond the basics, the book guides readers through the daily realities of plant leadership. It explains how to manage production flow, maintain equipment reliability, uphold quality standards, and ensure workplace safety, all while balancing cost, deadlines, and customer expectations. Existing plant managers benefit from structured frameworks and best practices that help them refine their approach, identify inefficiencies, and strengthen operational discipline. The goal is to elevate performance, not just maintain it.For aspiring plant managers, the book acts as a career development tool. It highlights the skills, behaviors, and leadership qualities that distinguish effective managers, such as communication, decision-making, problem-solving, and the ability to motivate diverse teams. By illustrating real-world scenarios and common challenges, it prepares future leaders for the pressures and responsibilities they will eventually face, giving them a head start on building the mindset required for success.Finally, the book ties all these elements together by emphasizing continuous improvement and strategic thinking. Manufacturing plants operate in a world of constant change, new technologies, shifting customer demands, and evolving workforce expectations. The book encourages readers to adopt a forward-looking perspective, showing how strong plant managers not only solve today's problems but also anticipate tomorrow's opportunities. In doing so, it becomes a long-term companion for anyone committed to running a plant that is resilient, competitive, and ready for the future.

Design for Social Responsibility

This book explores how design decisions, from societal and policy-level interventions to business models and product-level choices, can reduce material intensity and support a transition to a regenerative future. The challenge of the twenty-first century is not simply how to consume more sustainably, but how to meet human needs while reducing pressure on global ecosystems. Designing Circularity addresses this challenge by reframing circularity as a systems problem: how to achieve the same, or better, outcomes for society with less material and energy throughput.At the centre of the book is a triple-layered systemic design framework for coordinating circular initiatives across socio-technical and policy systems, organisational business and service models, and products and assets. Drawing on research, practitioner insights, and real-world examples, the book shows how governments, businesses, not-for-profit organisations, and designers can work across these layers to reshape the conditions that influence production, consumption, and resource use.Through the lens of material intensity, Designing Circularity challenges readers to consider not only how products are made, but how systems are organised to meet human needs. It examines how effectively economies and sectors meet those needs in relation to the materials and energy they use, and how shared forms of provision can reduce dependence on materially intensive patterns of individual consumption. Written for researchers, practitioners, designers, industry leaders, and policymakers, the book offers a practical pathway for applying systems stewardship to create collective abundance within ecological limits.The Introduction and Chapters 1 and 3 of this book are freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) 4.0 International license.

Stewardship, Policy, and the Circular Transition

Designing Circularity

This book draws on research and experience in occupational health and safety to address a fundamental question: what separates a near miss incident from an accident that results in injury? Through analysis of workplace events, the author proposes that fortuity and luck are the key factors determining accident outcomes. Building on the CECAL (Cause, Effect, and Control of Accidental Loss) model introduced in 2000, the book explores the three 'Luck Factors' that intervene in undesired events, offering a fresh perspective on accident outcomes.This title provides the insights and tools needed to transform your perspective on workplace safety. With real-life examples, including the NASA Columbia disaster and United Airlines Flight 232, it challenges traditional safety metrics and introduces innovative concepts such as the Safety Fear Factor. It explains why measuring safety performance through injury rates is flawed, as these metrics often reflect luck rather than control. Readers will gain practical guidance on implementing proactive Safety Management Systems (SMS) to recognize, assess, and rectify near miss incidents, empowering them to prevent accidents effectively rather than relying on chance.The Safety Luck Factors: The Fortuity Elements that Influence Accident Outcomes is essential for safety professionals, workplace managers, and anyone involved in occupational health and safety.

Aviation Human Factors: Theory, Research, and Applications for Advanced Aviation Systems is a postgraduate textbook designed to address the unprecedented challenges facing contemporary aviation that existing texts fail to cover adequately. The progressive integration of artificial intelligence into flight-critical systems, the emergence of advanced air mobility platforms without established regulatory frameworks, the shift toward single-pilot and reduced-crew operations, and the digital transformation of air traffic management all raise critical questions about human performance that demand rigorous, up-to-date educational resources.This textbook offers operationally grounded coverage of how operators interact with automated systems, maintain situational awareness, preserve manual skills that high automation erodes, and exercise authority over increasingly autonomous technologies. It is built on a fundamental insight that transformed the field: accidents are not primarily the result of individual failure, but of the way systems around individuals are designed, organized, and managed. This realization demanded intellectual courage from investigators and institutional honesty from regulators, particularly in an industry built on professional standards and certification. Over decades, the field has developed the tools and evidence to demonstrate that system design lies at the heart of safety performance rather than human inadequacy.The textbook gives readers the theoretical frameworks, empirical knowledge, and critical thinking skills needed to address the defining human factors questions of next-generation aviation practice, ultimately helping them to understand and improve the conditions under which people can perform safely, sustainably, and with professional dignity. It is for postgraduate students in aviation human factors, aviation safety, aerospace human systems, and related disciplines. It is equally relevant to aviation professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of contemporary human factors challenges.This book will feature instructor PowerPoint slides, chapter summary sheets, case study teaching notes and a research methods resource guide.
