The Transformative Power of Creating Community

Flourish

This book offers the first detailed study of women's legal status in early modern Liège, an otherwise largely overlooked case in European legal history. It follows women across the course of their lives, from birth to widowhood, to show how their legal position and control over property shifted over time, depending on their social status and place within the family. Drawing on a substantial body of wills and marriage contracts from notarial practice, it moves beyond traditional sources to show how the law actually worked in everyday practice, and who took part in its creation. By bringing all these elements together, this book offers a nuanced picture of how law and gender interacted in early modern Europe.

The Essential Insights and How to Protect from Threats

Confident Cyber Security

What if the key to success in a world of constant change was never really grit, or persistence - but curiosity? The modern era asks us to optimise ourselves into corners and build lives that run predictably while we stall inside. And the very blueprint we've been handed for success - one of relentless specialization - is not only incomplete, but completely counterproductive to a fulfilling life.Fusing groundbreaking research, elite business insights, and thrilling studies of history's greatest polymaths, Harvard educator Dr. T. Alexander Puutio uncovers the simple truth behind resilient, fulfilling lives: they're built in loops, not ladders.From Leonardo da Vinci to Steve Jobs, the people who shape the future don't follow straight lines - they explore widely, quit strategically, and stay flexible enough to keep becoming someone new.In a world that breaks ladders as fast as you can climb them, the code of curiosity offers a powerful model for thriving in uncertainty. Exploiting a loop of exploration, feedback and reinvention, curiosity is a force that supercharges our brain's capacity to learn and innovate. Those who can harness the cycle unlock not just a serious strategic edge, but a better way to cultivate a meaningful life.A joyful book that speaks to the meaning vacuum of modern life, The Curiosity Code upends the traditional pillars of self-development. Instead, it offers a bold, practical blueprint for navigating change, reclaiming agency, and building a life that evolves as fast as the world around you.

The Hidden Advantage of Curiosity in a World of Constant Change

The Curiosity Code

Beyond Progress series

In a world where working practices are increasingly transient and technological advancement is moving at breakneck pace, the ability to adapt and learn quickly has never been more important.This ability is known as learning agility. It is about having the motivation to rapidly learn from experience and to modify, experiment and apply that learning to meet a need, often in an unfamiliar situation or context. It requires the mind and skillsets to engage with change, take risk and adapt to solve problems creatively and quickly. This book uses the authors' Intero Model, which draws on learning theory, neuroscience and psychology, to explain this vital workplace skill to those looking to cultivate it themselves and leaders who want to develop it in their teams. Full of practical guidance, this book is an essential resource on the most important workplace skill of the day.Beyond Progress is a series about the skills that shape how you work, lead and grow. As jobs change and careers become less predictable, human skills like focus, adaptability and resilience matter more than ever. Straightforward and practical, these books help you build the confidence and judgment to handle anything work throws at you, collaborate seamlessly with others and keep growing in your career, no matter how the workplace evolves.

**This edition will be released in March 2027. If you want to get a copy ahead of then, have a look at our hardback edition, released in May 2026.** 'If you're worried about wasting your life, read this book.' Rutger Bregman, author of Humankind A ridiculously in-depth guide to finding a fulfilling and impactful career in an age of AI. You have about 80,000 hours in your career: 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, for 40 years. This means your choice of career is the most important decision you'll ever make. Choose well, and you can have a more rewarding, interesting life, and also help solve some of the world's most pressing problems. Choose poorly, and you could waste decades. So what should you do? Most advice is based on no research, instead offering (misleading) platitudes like 'follow your passion'. It's surprisingly out of date, focusing on traditional paths rather than those most likely to thrive in an age of AI. And if you want to help others, the advice is even more simplistic: telling you to choose careers like nurse or doctor, when there are paths in which almost anyone can save more lives. In fact, some careers have hundreds of times more impact than others, but most of us have no idea which ones. Benjamin Todd is the founder of 80,000 Hours, a non-profit that's spent over ten years researching how to have a meaningful and impactful career. Here he introduces a tried-and-tested toolkit framework that has already led thousands of people to change their path. It covers:<ul><li>What really makes for a dream job, and why finding it probably doesn't involve 'following your passion'.</li><li>How to identify which global problems are most pressing, and why they might involve AI as much as climate change.</li><li>Which roles are likely to be automated, and how to ensure yours isn't among them.</li></ul> It's also full of practical tips and tools. You'll come away with a plan to use your 80,000 hours in a way that's rewarding and fulfils your potential to make a difference. 'This career guide is among the most thoughtful and grounded I've seen.' Cal Newport, author of Deep Work 'A remarkably rigorous guide about how to find that perfect career for you.' Ali Abdaal, author of Feel-Good Productivity 'Based on evidence and good sense, not platitudes.' Steven Pinker, author of The Better Angels of our Nature 'The most informative book you can read if you're stuck trying to make one of life's most important decisions.' Hannah Ritchie, author of Not the End of the World

The Guts to Grow

Black Women and Sartorial Choice after Enslavement

The Will to Adorn

Feminist Frontlines traces the evolution of the "sex wars," a series of feminist intellectual entanglements about the relationship between law, gender, and equality, from the late 1970s to early 1990s, in contemporary debates about campus sexual violence policy in Canada and the United States – what critics have called the "return of the sex wars" or "new sex wars" at colleges and universities. Legal expert Daniel Del Gobbo employs a combination of legal doctrinal analysis, intellectual history, comparative analysis, and feminist and queer legal theory, while using the restorative justice process conducted at the Dalhousie University Faculty of Dentistry in 2014–15 as a central case study. The book focuses on the role of consensual dispute resolution (mediation and restorative justice) in addressing sexual harm. Del Gobbo argues that the polarization of the "return of the sex wars" has prevented some feminist lawmakers and policymakers from engaging with progressive, anticarceral, and complainant-centred policy models, including consensual dispute resolution, which challenge the primacy of formal courts and tribunals. Ultimately, Feminist Frontlines argues that it should be possible for feminist lawmakers and policymakers to come together by instituting the "plural process" model of campus sexual violence reform. The plural process model recognizes that both formal and consensual options, properly administered by feminist experts, can promote gender equality on campus, and this book seeks to bring about that change.

'Book of the Year' as chosen by The Conversation'Disconcerting . . . a disturbing and important book' NEW SCIENTIST'Smart and wonderfully readable' NEW YORK TIMESThe bad science and sinister ideas behind Silicon Valley's foolish obsession with immortality, AI paradise and limitless growth.Tech billionaires have decided that they should determine our futures for us. According to Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Sam Altman and more, the only good future for humanity is one powered by technology: trillions of humans living in space, functionally immortal, served by superintelligent AIs.In More Everything Forever, scientist and writer Adam Becker investigates these wildly implausible and often profoundly immoral visions of tomorrow to reveal why, in reality, there is no good evidence that they will, or should, come to pass. The giants of Silicon Valley claim that their ideas are based on science, but the truth is darker: they come from a jumbled mix of shallow futurism and racist pseudoscience. And behind these fanciful visions of space colonies and digital immortality is a cynical power grab, at the expense of essential work spent on solving real problems like the climate crisis.More Everything Forever exposes the powerful myths that dominate Silicon Valley, challenging us to see how foolish, and dangerous, these visions of the future are.
