A Biography

Organizations in Context

A practical method, backed by peer-reviewed research, for reimagining work to create your most distinctive, creative, energetic, and relatable professional self.In far too many organizations, the idea of bringing your 'full self' to the job is a liability.Emotion beyond enthusiasm for the task at hand is deemed unprofessional. Personal identity must be compressed into a carefully curated bio: relatable yet inoffensive.When people are conditioned to flatten the full social and emotional complexities of themselves, spirits dull and progress stalls, in life and in the workplace.But for a growing number of people, especially younger generations, this form of workplace culture no longer works. Surveys show that fewer individuals are willing to sacrifice their time and quality of life for a career, let alone an organization. With an increased focus on purpose, meaning, and mental health, many refuse to scrub their emotions, or the full range of their identities, to keep their professional lives separate.At the same time, in more progressive settings, the encouragement to bring people's full selves to work has sometimes unleashed more authenticity and personal revelation than managers and teams know how to handle.So how do we get it right?Lively and accessible, Human Mode features vibrant stories, expert insights, evidence-based techniques, and 'ah-ha' takeaways you can use immediately.Discover how to engage your inherent superpower - being immensely human - to unlock progress, connection, and achievement in your working life.

Unlock Your Unique Edge and Transform Your World of Work

Human Mode

"Lost Worlds convinces us of the value of slowing down to recognize the tremendous diversity of the human past. But he presses hard against the conclusion that there was any direction or pattern behind its complexity." —The Wall Street Journal“A spellbinding tour de force!” —Walter Scheidel, author of What Is Ancient History?“This is non-fiction storytelling at its finest.” —Eric H. Cline, author of 1177 B.C.The creator of the hit podcast Tides of History offers a new look at humanity’s deep past, showing us how our world was built not by inevitability, but by trial and error on a global scale.There’s a familiar story about us humans: we went from hunting and gathering to farming, wandering bands to villages and cities, clans and chieftains to states and kings. But Lost Worlds offers a new narrative of humanity’s deep history. Here beloved podcast host Patrick Wyman focuses on the 10,000-year span between the end of the Ice Age and the decline of the Bronze Age—the period when civilization as we understand it emerged, introducing social hierarchies, urbanism, complex political organizations, and the written word.In this nuanced retelling, human progress is no longer a straight march from caves to cities: Farming didn’t always replace foraging, villages didn’t automatically spark agriculture, and cities didn’t necessitate rigid hierarchies. For thousands of years, humans merely improvised. By the end of the Bronze Age, the world had become unrecognizable: mammoths and giant sloths replaced by cattle and sheep, scattered nomadic bands replaced by millions living in cities, and farming on nearly every continent. Wyman argues that the rise of states and steady food production wasn’t inevitable, but rather, the outcome of countless choices that reshaped the planet and made us who we are today.Combining cutting-edge science with gripping storytelling, Lost Worlds explores: <ul><li>A Sweeping New History of the Ancient World: Discover how early societies rose, adapted, and collapsed across thousands of years of human history.</li><li>The Archaeology Revolution: Ancient DNA, climate science, and new excavation methods are revealing how prehistoric people lived, migrated, and fought.</li><li>From Ice Age Hunters to Early Civilizations: Follow the dramatic transformation that led from nomadic foragers to farming, cities, and powerful states.</li><li>Why Societies Rise—and Fall: Learn how climate change, migration, population growth, and conflict shaped the fate of early civilizations.</li></ul>

How Humans Tried, Failed, Succeeded, and Built Our World

Lost Worlds

Sustainable business is no longer optional--it's the strategy that will determine who leads and who gets left behind.Climate change is not just a future threat--it's a current reality, reshaping markets, supply chains, and entire industries. Rising temperatures, resource scarcity, and mounting waste are driving regulatory pressure, investor scrutiny, and consumer demand for sustainable practices. For business leaders, this isn't just an operational challenge--it's a strategic disruption. Companies that fail to adapt risk being swept aside by forces they can no longer ignore.In The Ultimate Disruption: Rethinking Business in a World Transformed by Climate Change, INSEAD professors Atalay Atasu and Luk Van Wassenhove provide an essential road map for thriving in this new era. Drawing on decades of research and real-world case studies, they show why sustainability must be treated as a core business imperative, not a compliance exercise or marketing slogan. The authors introduce a framework for rethinking strategy, redefining value propositions, and reinventing business models to integrate environmental value alongside customer utility and profit.Through compelling examples--from Polygreen's zero-waste transformation on a Greek island to Schneider Electric's global decarbonization initiatives--the book illustrates how companies are turning environmental constraints into opportunities for innovation and growth. Each chapter tackles critical steps: building the business case for sustainability; revisiting value potential; overcoming operational and scaling challenges; and leveraging partnerships, tech, and new business models to deliver shared value and profitability.Sustainability is no longer a cost--it's a competitive advantage. The Ultimate Disruption equips leaders with the strategies and tools to navigate the climate-driven transformation of business ecosystems and emerge stronger than ever.

Advanced Composites

With the rapid advancement in micro and nano-scale composite technologies, there is an increasing need to understand their mechanical, thermal, and structural behavior to design the next generation of materials for aerospace, automotive, biomedical, and industrial applications. The book is organized into twelve chapters, each focusing on specific innovations and methods in micro and nano composites. It begins with an introductory chapter on the basic concepts of micro and nano composites, setting the stage for more complex evaluations in later chapters. Then it delves into the mechanical and thermal properties of composites enhanced by graphene nanoparticles and explores hybrid composites using natural fibers like crab shell and jute. The advancement of 3D-printed composites, specifically carbon fiber-reinforced PLA, is covered using the Taguchi method. Subsequent chapters investigate the development of biocomposite materials using hemp, kenaf, and nut shell powders, alongside studies on metal matrix composites, wear characteristics, and surface engineering using micro powders and nanoparticles. Key topics like friction stir processing and the integration of micro metal particles in additive manufacturing provide insights into both fabrication techniques and material behavior. The book also features research on hybrid composites, such as titanium, molybdenum, and vanadium for agricultural applications and magnesium-based materials reinforced with nanoparticles for biomedical uses.

Humanity's most spectacular era yet is increasingly within reach.So why are we doing everything we can to hold it back?The bestselling author of The Rational Optimist delivers a daring vision of the future - one that is potentially dazzling, but only if we stop sleepwalking into self-inflicted decline.We're on the brink of a truly spectacular explosion of productivity and prosperity, argues Matt Ridley, thanks to a combination of artificial intelligence, material science and genomic knowledge that is unprecedented in its scope and implications. With characteristic wit and ferocity, he confronts the irrational pessimism that dominates public discourse and examines the bureaucratic bloat, regulatory overreach, ideological superstition and crony capitalism that stand in the way.Optimistic in conclusion but unsparing in its analysis, The Flourishing is a rousing call to achieve and innovate by refusing to settle for a merely adequate future when a magnificent one is within reach.

The Radical Pessimist

This book provides a state-of-the art picture of the transformation of the global legal market. The traditional business model of law firms has been upended by new forms of organisation, often (but not exclusively) brought about by technological innovation and the use of technology for the execution of legal activities, which implies the so-called 'servitisation' of the legal market. Such trends raise a broad range of questions of both practical and academic nature, which the book tackles extensively, relying on the competence of a remarkable group of experts, coming from different professional backgrounds and knowledgeable of many different jurisdictions, from Europe to the USA, from Asia to Australia. In particular, the book has three main focuses: 1) a law and economics analysis of today's legal market, combined with a description of how regulatory changes have had an impact on competition in the legal services business, and on the evolution of this industry; 2) a thorough investigation of the impact of technological disruptions on the legal services industry, considering how legal tech companies and artificial intelligence solutions are reshaping the activities of legal professionals and the legal market more broadly; 3) a survey of the "new lawyers" and other new legal professionals, along with a reflection on the reforms needed to align their education with market needs. The book caters to all those interested, professionally or academically, in keeping track of the evolution of the legal services market. Practising lawyers who want to be "future-proof", law students, new specialised legal professionals active in the business and financial sectors, scholars and other researchers (both lawyers and economists) conducting research in the field, as well as anyone engaged in providing legal education, will find in this book extremely valuable insights on current trends and future developments in the legal market.

Vom Zählstein zum Computer

Leonhard Euler (1707-1783) ist nicht nur einer der größten Mathematiker, sondern gleichfalls einer der schöpferischsten Menschen überhaupt gewesen. Seine rastlose Tätigkeit; die auch durch Blindheit nicht beeinträchtigt wurde, beschränkte sich jedoch nicht nur auf die Mathematik, denn er war ebenso universaler Naturwissenschaftler wie tiefgehender Philosoph, seine Arbeiten reichen von technischen Anwendungen der Naturwissenschaften bis zur Kartographie ebenso wie von der Musik bis zur Landwirtschaft. Respektvoll sahen bereits seine Zeitgenossen in ihm die lebendige Personifizierung der Analysis, aber darüber hinaus verkörperte er das wissenschaftliche Bewusstsein seiner Zeit wie kein anderer.Seine Arbeiten reichen von technischen Anwendungen der Naturwissenschaften&nbsp;bis zur Kartographie ebenso wie von der Musik bis zur Landwirtschaft. Respektvoll&nbsp;sahen bereits seine Zeitgenossen in ihm die lebendige Personifizierung&nbsp;der Analysis, aber darüber hinaus verkörperte er das wissenschaftliche Bewusstseinseiner Zeit wie kein anderer.Die vorliegende Biographie geht daher über eine reine Lebensbeschreibung hinaus und zeichnet ein faszinierendes Bild jenes an geistigen Auseinandersetzungen und Kämpfen so reichen 18. Jahrhunderts, in das Eulers Leben und Werk eingebettet ist und auf dem unsere moderne Welt wesentlich fußt.Der AutorPD Dr. Rüdiger Thiele studierte Mathematik und Physik an der Luther-Universität Halle Wittenberg und promovierte dort 1973 in Mathematik. Er war Mitarbeiter am Sudhoff-Institut für Geschichte der Medizin und Naturwissenschaften der Universität Leipzig, habilitierte sich am Institut für Geschichte der Naturwissenschaften der Universität Hamburg und wurde anschließend Privatdozent an der Fakultät für Mathematik der Universität Leipzig. Er erhielt den Förderpreis der Deutschen Akademie der Naturforscher Leopoldina imJahr 1996 sowie den Lester-Ford-Award der MAA im Jahr 2004.

Der Begriff der Geoökonomie hat sich in der politischen Debatte seit einigen Jahren zu einer beliebten Vokabel entwickelt. Ziel dieser Darstellung ist es, einen einführenden Überblick über die geoökonomischen Verhältnisse unserer Welt aus einer Vogelperspektive zu geben. 
Zentrales Thema dieses Buches ist das Handeln von Staaten im Kontext geopolitischer Realitäten und ökonomischer Machtverhältnisse. Der Autor spannt den Bogen von der Berücksichtigung historischer, rechtlicher, ökonomischer, kultureller und soziologischer Aspekte über die wichtigsten ökonomischen Machtfaktoren, die den Staaten zur Durchsetzung ihrer politischen Ziele zur Verfügung stehen, bis hin zur Betrachtung einzelner Staaten, ihres Handelns und ihrer Einbettung in ein globales System.
Das vorliegende Buch leistet einen Beitrag zum Grundverständnis geoökonomischen Handelns in der realen Welt. Konkret werden u.a. folgende Fragen behandelt: 
Wie werden geoökonomische Hebel gegen Wettbewerber eingesetzt?
Welche Optionen bestehen für die Lösung bestehender globaler Konflikte?

Das Buch richtet sich an Studierende der Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaften, an politisch Interessierte sowie an Praktiker in der Wirtschaft und im Finanzbereich, die geopolitische Aspekte bei ihren globalen Investitionsentscheidungen berücksichtigen.
