Steiner J: Der Glaspionier

Der Glaspionier

Otto Schott 1851–1935

This book examines earthquake risk, disaster governance, and urban resilience through the case of Istanbul, a megacity facing significant seismic threats. This book offers an interdisciplinary analysis of public policy, disaster management, governance, migration, social vulnerability, and technological innovation, providing practical insights for earthquake preparedness and risk reduction in large urban centers.Organized into four thematic parts, the volume explores the role of public institutions, state responsibilities, multi-actor governance, gender-sensitive disaster policies, and the continuity of public services. It further examines local government initiatives, civil society engagement, public–civil partnerships, migration and displacement scenarios, vulnerable populations, and disaster response planning. The final section highlights innovation, digital technologies, urban mobility forecasting, and startup-driven solutions for earthquake prediction and risk management. By focusing on Istanbul as a model case, this book is an essential resource for researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and students interested in disaster governance, earthquake preparedness, urban resilience, and sustainable cities.Fahri Özsungur

The Case of Istanbul

Risks, Policies, Strategies in Anticipating Earthquakes

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.

Making Do, Doing More with What You Have, and Becoming More Than You Thought Possible

The Jugaad Mindset

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.

For American workers, the social contract is broken. This book gives a firsthand view of where the breaks occurred, and a prescription for rebuilding it to give workers their due. With AI making the decisions and CEOs and moguls making the money, sometimes it seems that most workers today might as well be drones. If not for a long string of missed opportunities over the last 50 years, it might have been different. In Roads Not Taken, Thomas Kochan reviews the turning points where the social contract fractured and broke, reducing workers’ voices as well as their compensation, benefits, and status. And in the lessons learned from these historical examples, he identifies the foundation for building a new labor relations system that ensures workers will share in the benefits from AI and puts America on course for an innovative and durable social contract at work. As a longtime advisor to government, labor, and management leaders, Kochan offers an eyewitness perspective on the mounting mistakes made in America’s labor relations system beginning, roughly, with Ronald Reagan’s firing of striking air traffic controllers in 1981. His book makes a strong case for new strategies on the part of labor unions and other worker advocacy groups, business, and government—strategies not wedded to the legacy labor law and practice that have failed American workers for so long. Recasting the social contract on this basis, Kochan insists, is key to rebuilding our democracy and its institutions after the damage wrought in recent years.

Lessons for Building a New Social Contract at Work

Roads Not Taken

Palgrave Studies of Entrepreneurship and Social Challenges in Developing Economies

This book offers an empirically grounded analysis of entrepreneurial decision-making under constraint in developing economies. Drawing on Jamaica's SME sector, it examines why strong entrepreneurial intention does not always become immediate start-up action and how feasibility, timing, exposure, finance, networks, informality, and institutional support shape whether entrepreneurs initiate, delay, enter in stages, or withhold action. These issues matter because, in many developing economies, entrepreneurship is not simply a lifestyle choice but a pathway to economic survival, inclusion, and opportunity. By integrating established entrepreneurship theory with evidence from a small-state context, the book offers globally relevant yet contextually grounded practical and theoretical guidance for scholars, policymakers, educators, and practitioners seeking to strengthen SME development, entrepreneurial support, and inclusive economic growth in developing economies.

Entrepreneurial Decision‑Making Under Constraint in Developing Economies

Raus aus der (W)Ohnmacht! Ob jung oder alt, weiblich, männlich oder nonbinär, ob Paare, Singles, Groß- oder Kleinfamilien, ob mit Migrationsgeschichte oder ohne, ob arm oder reich: Wohnen geht uns alle an. Doch während unsere Gesellschaft so bunt ist wie nie, stecken wir beim Thema Wohnen in den 50er-Jahren fest: Zwei Zimmer, Küche, Bad (in der Stadt) oder eben das Haus mit Garten (auf dem Land) - für flexible, individuelle Wohnmodelle jenseits dieser beiden Idealtypen scheinen uns die Fantasie und der politische Gestaltungswille zu fehlen. Und das, obwohl wir angesichts explodierender Mieten und einer sich vor allem in den Städten verschärfenden Wohnraumkrise dringend eine Wende in der Wohnpolitik brauchen.Christine Hannemann, Deutschlands einzige Professorin für Wohnsoziologie, fordert in Raum für Wandel ein radikales Umdenken - in unseren Köpfen und in der Politik. Sie stellt innovative Formen des Zusammenlebens vor, die den tatsächlichen Bedürfnissen der Menschen gerecht werden und sozialer Isolation entgegenwirken. Und sie appelliert an jeden Einzelnen, über die eigenen Wohnbedürfnisse nachzudenken und aktiv an der Gestaltung einer neuen Wohnkultur mitzuwirken: 'Es ist an der Zeit, alte Mythen abzulegen und neue Wege des Wohnens zu erkunden, die ein erfülltes und gemeinschaftliches Leben ermöglichen.'

Warum wir Wohnen radikal neu denken müssen, um als Gesellschaft wieder zusammenzuwachsen

Raum für Wandel

A USA Today Bestseller. A dramatic new future of work in which managers assemble exactly the expertise they need—within minutes. 2026 PROSE Award Winner: Business, Finance, and Management "If you’ve ever wished you could assemble your version of The Avengers at work, this book will help you make it happen.” —Adam Grant, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Think Again and host of the podcast Re:Thinking Gone are the days of static organizational charts and staffing based on the manager’s rolodex and intuition. Now you can recruit any expertise you need from a global online network within minutes: an on-demand, on-the-spot expert at the exact moment that you need their help. You can right-size their involvement, too; some of those experts give a second opinion or a moment of brainstorming, whereas others join as full-fledged team members for a sustained collaborative effort. This is the future promised by flash teams, a model that The New York Times has already praised for its “revolutionary potential”: a world where experts are available anytime and everywhere, where remote work has become a norm, and where AI is in the loop to guide team decisions. In Flash Teams, award-winning management scholar Melissa Valentine and computer scientist Michael Bernstein chart the opportunities of flash teams and navigate the challenges that teams and managers will face. They distill lessons from their own work assembling and managing flash teams on demand that every manager can learn from so they can successfully use flash teams in their own organizations. Drawing on original research and industry examples, this book will help readers to: <ul><li>Recognize and source needed expertise within minutes</li><li>Anticipate and plan team designs with AI</li><li>Redesign team structures on the fly as projects evolve</li></ul> Industries are already being transformed by this new approach to teaming. Flash Teams arms leaders, managers, and entrepreneurs with the tools they need to accomplish their goals with confidence, speed, and agility.
