Adventures in Human Anatomy

Professional Practice in Governance and Public Organizations

This is the third volume of a three-volume series on Frontiers of Longevity Science. The series unites global experts to map the rapidly expanding field of longevity medicine. Co-edited by David Barzilai, Max Rangeley, Regina R. Monaco, and David Wood, the series bridges molecular mechanisms, translational innovation, economics, and policy. Contributors from geroscience and the social sciences debate a central question: can we merely slow age-related diseases, or can the biology of aging itself be fundamentally changed?Volume 3, Ethics, Governance, and the Future of Extended Lifespans, anticipates the profound societal and philosophical implications of radically longer lives. From ethical debates around the elimination of aging to breakthroughs in decentralized research and biomedical infrastructure, contributors explore how longevity will reshape human values. This volume considers how extended healthspans could transform economies and culture, outlining what it takes to navigate this global transition responsibly.

'Read this, and get your life back' - Daisy Greenwell, co-founder, Smartphone Free ChildhoodStop letting your phone rule your life. Phone Rules will help you break the cycle.Your phone is bad for you. It is harming your mental and physical health, ruining your sleep and limiting true human connection. We all know we need to get off our phones, but most of us are overwhelmed by the scale of the problem and by the many highly addictive ways in which our devices are designed to distract us, delight us and pull us back in.But here is the solution: a set of simple, sensible principles to govern the way we navigate our phone use. On his journey to break up with his smartphone, investigative journalist Luc Rinaldi hits the road and speaks to people at the forefront of the movement, from reformed social media addicts and digital defectors, to tech researchers and phone-free school children. Rinaldi has devised five insightful rules to resist our phones, along with helpful strategies to put them into action, including how to: - Stop obsessing over your screen time, find new mental space and improve your overall health - Protect your children against the harms of the digital world - Deepen your relationships with real people and the things that matter most. Rooted in on-the-ground research and written from the perspective of a tech-savvy, video-game playing millennial, Phone Rules offers a way forward for parents rearing digital natives, children navigating their first phones and anyone perpetually tethered to their devices. There is a way out. This is your invitation to scroll less, and to live more.

Five simple steps to save yourself, your family and the planet

Materialising the Digital

This book explores blockchain technologies and cryptocurrencies to develop an infrastructural theory of money, and it demonstrates how payment infrastructures provide an analytical site where social studies of money and finance and science and technology studies can be fruitfully combined. The book utilises the blockchain and interoperability firm Ripple as a 'revelatory case' for investigating the entanglements of materiality, desire, space, and power that pervade all of money's infrastructures in cross-border payments and remittances. First, money's infrastructures have material dispositions: they enable and hinder users' behaviours, and unevenly distribute resources among users. Second, money's infrastructures have spatial dispositions: they produce and inhabit spatialities and chrono-topologies that take four forms - pyramids, rhizomes, platforms, stacks. Third, money's infrastructures have libidinal dispositions: money as infrastructure is shown to be shaped significantly by enchantment and desires. Fourth, money's infrastructures have political-economic dispositions, between seamless interoperability and transaction- and friction-replete platformisation.

You can't separate marketing, product, and AI anymore-The Algorithmic Shopper will help you win the next era. Marketing has always relied on human psychology-now that trillion-dollar ecosystem is becoming obsolete. For over a century, companies have tirelessly studied our aspirations and our fears, developing heartfelt brand narratives and sophisticated marketing campaigns that appeal to our emotions. But AI agents-dispassionate digital proxies with perfect memories, programmed to act in their users' best interests-are taking over, creating a fundamental separation between the shopper and the human consumer. A new era, dominated by shoppers without insecurities to cater to, or heartstrings to tug upon, is not just coming; it is already here. The only way to appeal to agentic AI is to be verifiably better-through a superior product, a more transparent supply chain, and cleaner, more accessible data. The pain point we face is profound, but it also presents a remarkable opportunity for a new generation of leaders willing to unlearn the old rules and begin to see the world through the cold, perfectly-rational lens of an AI agent. Author Paul Ferrando Accornero is leading a global conversation at the cutting edge of marketing strategy. In The Algorithmic Shopper, he provides a deeply-researched and accessible playbook for navigating these unprecedented challenges, grounded in real-world examples. This is essential reading for anyone trying to build a business or maintain a brand, from aspiring entrepreneurs, to sales and marketing professionals, to C-suite leaders. Those who grasp our new reality will not merely survive the disruption-they will define the future of commerce.

Crypto crises examines how the cryptocurrency industry has become a powerful force in global capitalism. Far from the promise of decentralisation, it reveals how crypto is deepening social inequality, fuelling environmental destruction, and reshaping political power. Drawing on extensive research and vivid examples, the book traces the rise of a new class of "crypto-capitalists" - from billionaire investors and mining conglomerates to populist politicians - who are embedding digital assets at the heart of finance and governance. It exposes the hidden networks of influence linking crypto to Wall Street, Big Tech, and the Global South, where exploitation is reframed as innovation. Provocative and timely, the book offers a critical account of how cryptocurrency's dream of liberation became one of the defining engines of twenty-first-century capitalism.

A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press's Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. This wide-ranging intellectual and media history traces China's emergence as a modern state in which boundaries blur between art and design, education and psychological conditioning. Tracking the parallel development of set design and social engineering from the 1920s to the 1960s, Background Matters examines the concept of huanjing (environment), a neologism introduced at the turn of the twentieth century that evoked heated intellectual debates and inspired frenzied aesthetic experimentation. Weihong Bao shows how efforts to reshape the mind consolidated the idea and art of environment by advancing a new theoretical notion of set design: both as aesthetic organization across film, theater, radio, and television and as social experimentation in worldmaking across geopolitical and transnational contexts. Inventive and breathtaking in scope, this book radically rethinks environment not as an external object but as the nexus of mind, medium, and society.

Giving birth is everyone's business.In this book, midwife and bestselling author Leah Hazard takes us from luxurious birthing suites to maximum-security prisons, from border-town clinics to refugee camps, freebirthing communities to wards dominated by algorithms, showing how childbirth provides a startling lens onto the biggest issues of our time. With clarity and curiosity, Hazard explores how inequality, migration, climate change and political currents are shaping this universal yet intimate human experience, revealing the competing forces that are battling to technologize, moralize, commoditize and dominate the birth space in ways that have already transformed our bodies and our world.In exposing the fragility of modern industrialized maternity care Birth Wars issues a warning and a rallying cry: highlighting the transformative - or destructive - power of this essential act, not only for the person giving birth, but also for the child who bears the lifelong effects of that day, and for society as a whole.

'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.

The Fourth Generation University: Transdisciplinary Learning Architectures for Institutional Plasticity and Societal Transition in a Multipolar World presents a new conceptual architecture for understanding how universities, innovation ecosystems, and governance systems can support societal transitions. The book introduces the Fourth Generation University (4GU) as a learning architecture designed to address complex challenges such as energy transition, mobility, digitalization, and institutional transformation through collective intelligence, transdisciplinary collaboration, and real-world experimentation. Drawing on systems thinking, deepsearch methodology, and field-based research, it develops the concept of institutional plasticity as a capacity for coordinated adaptation across sectors and cultures. The book examines the evolution of digital systems, high-tech development, energy and mobility transitions, artificial intelligence, biology, healthcare, food systems, organizational change, collective intelligence, governance innovation, university transformation, multipolar development, and emerging global coordination mechanisms. Through the GovLab framework, the text connects technological development, institutional design, and societal learning into a coherent model for understanding and navigating transitions. This book will benefit policymakers in research, innovation, and higher education; government advisors; university leaders; strategy directors; research and innovation managers; innovation ecosystem practitioners; public-private partnership leaders; think tank researchers; governance researchers; and scholars in science, technology, innovation, and higher education studies. It provides practical and conceptual tools for designing adaptive institutions, coordinating diverse stakeholders, and managing complex transition processes.
