Antique Hunter's Series

The Antique Hunter's Death on the Red Sea

Why do organizations keep causing harm? And how do we cure toxic cultures? "A timely, rigorous, and deeply unsettling book."—Amy C. Edmondson, Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management, Harvard Business School, and author of The Fearless Organization Not a week goes by with out yet another major organizational scandal: Open AI’s agents going rogue, Volkswagen’s emissions cheating, Boeing’s persistent safety issues, endemic police misconduct at the Oakland PD, and sexual abuse at yet another Roman Catholic Church. So why do do organizations keep causing these harms? Benjamin van Rooij and Nicholas Lord argue that to truly understand and address the impacts of dysfunctional organizations we must look beyond leadership and understand the deeper problems in the organization itself. To do so, Toxic uses dozens of in-depth case studies to connect the dots between various scandals and illustrate the deeper toxic patterns within organizations that lead to them. Each chapter recounts compelling stories of individuals caught within these toxic systems and addresses urgent societal challenges such as environmental degradation, the opioid epidemic, the harms of social media, and police abuse. Stories include:<ul><li>Facebook sought to grow from 1 billion to 5 billion users, leading it to enter Myanmar’s volatile ethnic context without having the knowledge or capacity to do proper content moderation, and thus contributing to genocide.</li><li>Don Parus, a BP engineer made an all-out effort to warn company leaders to invest in safety, just months before a major explosion killed fiteen and injured hundreds at its Texas City Refinery.</li><li>Keith Batt, a rookie at the Oakland Police Department, was made to witness, condone and participate in falsifying arrest records, planting evidence, and even in unsanctioned violence, all within two weeks on the job.</li></ul>Revealing, accessible, engaging, and unsettling, Toxic breaks down the core characteristics of toxic organizations and shows readers how to recognize and address toxicity in their everyday lives.

How Organizations Go Bad

Toxic

Ein Mord. Eine Erinnerung. Ein Sommer zwischen Geistern, Göttern und dunklen Wahrheiten: Als Jingnan in der Mittagshitze Taipeis vor seinem Nudelstand sitzt, erreicht ihn eine Nachricht, die sein Leben aus der Bahn wirft: Julia, die Frau, die er einst heiraten wollte, ist tot. Sie wurde erschossen, während sie sich - wie viele ungelernte Frauen aus schlechten Verhältnissen - als ,Betelnuss-Mädchen' verdingte. Doch warum war ausgerechnet sie, die einstige Musterschülerin und Hoffnungsträgerin, in diese zwielichtige Welt abgerutscht?

Während ganz Taiwan den Geistermonat begeht - eine Zeit, in der die Toten in die Welt der Lebenden zurückkehren und die Gehwege mit Opfergaben vollgestellt sind, - begibt sich Jingnan auf die Suche nach Antworten. Und je tiefer er in die Vergangenheit eintaucht, desto unklarer wird, was Wahrheit und was Aberglaube ist.
,Geistermonat' ist ein spannender Kriminalroman und zugleich ein literarischer Trip durch das urbane Taiwan, das sich zwischen Moderne und Mythos bewegt. Sarkastisch, melancholisch, voller Atmosphäre und mit einem Protagonisten, den man so schnell nicht vergisst.

The MIT Press Essential Knowledge series

A clear, nontechnical guide to why cryptocurrency exists, how it reshapes trust and money, and why it matters beyond speculation. How do we build trust in a digital world where institutions, platforms, and intermediaries increasingly mediate money, identity, and ownership? In Cryptocurrency and Blockchain, Marco Di Maggio offers an essential guide to cryptocurrencies and blockchains—two of the most misunderstood technological and economic transformations of the digital age. Rather than focusing on price charts, hype cycles, or programming details, Di Maggio explains why these technologies exist, what problems they attempt to solve, and why they matter for people who are not crypto insiders. Using plain language, analogies, and real-world examples, the book explains how cryptocurrencies reshape core concepts of money, property, markets, and governance. The author explores topics such as how and why Bitcoin is used as a financial fallback, what stablecoins are and how they have become critical infrastructure for global payments, and how NFTs introduced a new notion of ownership and identity on the internet. Written for curious readers, journalists, students, policymakers, and professionals, Cryptocurrency provides a conceptual framework for understanding crypto as infrastructure, not ideology—helping readers see past the noise to grasp the deeper forces reshaping money, trust, and coordination in the digital economy.

Malén Denis's Lithium is a novel about what cannot be fully named or pinned down. "Language in this book," the author notes, "acts as a pharmakon-both poison and remedy-inviting the reader to navigate its ambivalence. I wrote it by following the golden thread of poetry and the echoes of psychoanalysis, letting the images lead rather than the plot." Lithium employs an especially potent, poetic language to convey love found and love lost (I'm waiting for news from you). It is a book blazing with bruised perceptions of the precarity of a life lived between jobs and between homes; it's a feverish work swinging from hope to despair, about trying drugs both prescribed and not, about migration, about cat-sitting, and about isolation, about the search for meaning and for happiness when both prove so elusive, and it is about summoning the strength to wrench oneself from indecision to action.

DELUXE EDITION-a beautiful hardcover edition featuring sprayed edges, a designed case stamp, and fully illustrated color endpapers. From New York Times bestselling author Olivie Blake comes a tantalizing story of power, seduction, and the omens you'll ignore when everything you've dreamed of feels just within reach. The headlines are calling it the "summer of exsanguination" in LA-girls are being murdered, the Santa Ana winds are blowing a strange energy into the city, and all signs point to fire season. More pressing for Anya Morris, though, is the drudgery of living at home, working part time at the family store, and contending with her mother's disdain for the acting career Anya knows she's destined for but that feels more impossible by the day. It's in this suffocating late summer heat that Anya receives a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, an invitation to work for the de Witt family, one of LA's most influential film dynasties. Soon, she's spending her days and nights at their strange villa high in the Hollywood Hills, where she meets Jude, a recluse who is both the family's heir apparent and its most closely guarded secret. There's a magnetism to Jude that Anya cannot resist, despite warning signs that scream like sirens in the night. Because the villa holds generations of bloodstained history, and an occult family curse may even live within its walls-or within Jude himself. In this city, everyone cuts a deal with the devil. When Anya comes face to face with a devil of her own, she'll learn just how far she's willing to go to get everything she's ever wanted.

In the 19th century, artistic engagement with medieval architecture was closely connected to its academic study. Alongside art historians, architects and painters also played a key role in collecting, organizing, and communicating knowledge about architectural history. This publication shows that not only objective documentation, but above all the creative transformation of historical buildings was a particular strength of research in architectural history. Starting from a transnational comparison of architectural paintings, museum installations, garden spaces, and projects for the preservation of monuments, cross-genre strategies for dealing with historical designs are analyzed and re-evaluated as creative contributions to the emerging discipline of architectural history.<ul> <li>Transnational perspective on European images of the Middle Ages during the 19th century </li><li>Design-based research practice in the 19th century: Part of the current debate on research by design</li> <li>Artistic design presented as an instrument for developing and communicating knowledge </li></ul>

Wieder haben sich Robert Preis und Niki Schreinlechner auf die Suche nach kreativen Mörder:innen gemacht - und sind erneut fündig geworden: Acht renommierte Krimi-Autor:innen führen in dieser Anthologie an Orte, an denen die Fassade des Alltags brüchig wird: in verlassene Häuser und Varietés, auf belebte Plätze und hinter geschlossene Bürotüren. Jeder Beitrag zeigt auf eigene Weise, wie Nähe, Zufall, Habgier oder Verletzung tödlich enden können. Vielschichtig, atmosphärisch und überraschend - ein Panorama des Mordens, das vertraute Schauplätze in ein neues Licht taucht.
