A Biography

Bloomsbury Writer's Guides and Anthologies

A complete introduction to the art and craft of extremely compressed works of imaginative literature, this book, now in its 2nd edition, introduces both traditional and innovative approaches to the short form and demonstrates how it possesses structure, logic, and coherence while simultaneously resisting expectations. With discussion questions, writing prompts, flash interviews, and illustrated key concepts, the book covers prose poetry, flash fiction, micro memoir, lyric essay, cross-genre/hybrid writing and much more. Two new chapters explore how to spark inspiration and innovation, and how to take the next steps by collaborating with partners and preparing work for publication. In this revised and expanded edition, H. K. Hummel and Stephanie Lenox present the ultimate companion to writing short fiction, featuring microplays, new short-form tactics, and a dozen fresh anthology pieces by Eve L. Ewing, Ross Gay, Jayne Anne Phillips, Gertrude Stein, and Jean Toomer, along with one-sentence student workshops that spotlight small but powerful moves in the short form. The extensive anthology showcases sixty short-form works including microplays and pieces by writers from Argentina, Chile, Guatemala, Canada, France, Greece, Bosnia, and the U.S., offering a vibrant mix of styles, forms, themes, and voices.

The Category Creation Formula

The New York Times bestseller From the long-tenured head of Goldman Sachs, an institution legendary for its culture of success, comes a candid memoir of global leadership in an age of extreme turbulence. "Funny, mainly blunt, unexpectedly vulnerable and rarely apologetic.” —Bloomberg “No one has gotten inside the secret walls of Goldman Sachs and told the story of everything about it, warts and all. Now the man who ran it tells all—and it’s incredible.” —Jim Cramer "Lively and insightful." —The Wall Street Journal When Lloyd Blankfein was attacked as a Wall Street fat cat, he had to smile, thinking of his precarious childhood in the notorious public housing projects of East New York, Brooklyn, and attending a high school so chaotic he didn’t feel safe leaving class to go to the bathroom in his time there. Harvard University was a total moonshot, and his outsider status never wore off, there or at Harvard Law. When he struck people as street-y, it wasn’t Wall Street they were thinking of. But if the chip never quite left Blankfein's shoulder, neither did a wry, resilient spirit and a lucid, democratic intelligence that saw through airs and found talent and ideas in unlikely places. Streetwise is a delightfully honest, sharp and often very funny reckoning with the author’s education—in finance, human nature, and the workings of the world. It abounds with lessons about leading teams of brilliant, aggressive, competitive people and harmonizing them around shared goals; changing when times are hard and when they’re good; managing risk; and knowing a crisis is at hand before it swamps you so you can guide your team to the further shore. Blankfein is famed for his calm hand on Goldman Sachs’s tiller during the global financial crisis, and that story is told in full here, among many other decisive episodes. Suffusing Streetwise is the author’s deep and abiding respect for the partnership culture of Goldman Sachs. We follow the never-ending work to protect and preserve that culture through all sorts of tumult—the challenge behind every other challenge. He is open about when he and the firm got it wrong, which was often enough, but the creative, risk-taking spirit was never snuffed—even as the fail-safes put in place to protect the firm and its clients held when they were needed the most. A powerful blueprint for the wise stewardship of a cause that is larger than yourself, Streetwise will inspire and inform readers throughout the global business community and beyond.

Die Universität ist immer schon eine Institution der Virtualität gewesen. Sie nimmt andere Welten, Gesellschaften, Wissensformen, Naturen oder Techniken in den Blick und ist eine Institution der Spekulationen ohne doppelten Boden - vor allem aber ein Raum des Austauschs, der Zirkulation und der Kommunikation sowie der Medien, die all dies ermöglichen. Die Beiträge machen Virtualität nicht nur zum Gegenstand, sondern begreifen sie als Medium der Forschung, der Lehre und der Universität. Sie erinnern an das, was wir tun, wenn wir an der Universität forschen und lehren und dabei über diese Institution nachdenken, indem wir die Möglichkeiten ihrer Zukünfte und die Versprechen ihrer Vergangenheiten ausloten.

“Mind-expanding . . . The Score is so exuberant and readable that the depth and seriousness of its insights almost sneak up on you.” —Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times “Brilliant and wildly original . . . The Score is socially attentive, historically literate and imbued with sensual glee.” —Becca Rothfeld, The Washington Post “I give this excellent book five stars.” —Stuart Jeffries, Financial Times A philosophy of games to help us win back control over what we value The philosopher C. Thi Nguyen—one of the leading experts on the philosophy of games and the philosophy of data—takes us deep into the heart of games, and into the depths of bureaucracy, to see how scoring systems shape our desires. Games are the most important art form of our era. They embody the spirit of free play. They show us the subtle beauty of action everywhere in life in video games, sports, and boardgames—but also cooking, gardening, fly-fishing, and running. They remind us that it isn’t always about outcomes, but about how glorious it feels to be doing the thing. And the scoring systems help get us there, by giving us new goals to try on. Scoring systems are also at the center of our corporations and bureaucracies—in the form of metrics and rankings. They tell us exactly how to measure our success. They encourage us to outsource our values to an external authority. And they push on us to value simple, countable things. Metrics don’t capture what really matters; they only capture what’s easy to measure. The price of that clarity is our independence. The Score asks us is this the game you really want to be playing?

'Those looking for the next Lessons in Chemistry - a story of ferociously bright, feisty women holding their own in a man's world - may have found it ... this is a rich read, heartbreaking, engrossing and intellectually stimulating' New Zealand Listener 'Sweeping and intimate . a gorgeous meditation on roads not taken' SHELBY VAN PELT, author of Remarkably Bright Creatures 'A magnificent, spellbinding love story' CLARE LESLIE HALL, author of Broken Country _____ 1976, Rhode Island. Lily Webb has spent years trying to build a steady, predictable life, far from her hometown marred by tragedy and the sister she cannot seem to save from herself. Jane was always the brilliant one: fierce, complicated and drawn to the mysteries of the universe. But after their mother's death, Jane's gifts became entangled with addiction, pulling the sisters into a cycle of love, guilt and heartbreak that neither could escape. Lily has found comfort in a quiet marriage to a devoted scientist, one who opened her eyes to the beauty of the natural world and offered her safety and stability. But when her first love, a boy she lost under devastating circumstances, returns, Lily is forced to confront the past she thought she had buried. As old wounds reopen, and her fragile bond with Jane grows ever more tenuous, Lily must navigate the tension between the life she's built and the life she once imagined for herself. A decades-spanning tale rich with questions of faith, science and the ties that hold us together, Laws of Love and Logic is a compelling, emotionally gripping novel about sisterhood, forgiveness and the complicated nature of love.

Was brauche ich, um die Produktion zu verbessern?
Wie behalte ich auf dem Shopfloor den Überblick?
Wo liegen die Probleme in der Fabrik wirklich?

Die Arbeit in der Produktion ist geprägt von Informationsflut und täglich neuen Problemen. Maßnahmen werden gestartet, Meetings geführt – und dennoch fehlt oft der Fokus. Aktionismus ersetzt Ursachenarbeit.

Shopfloor Management ist mehr als ein Fabrikrundgang. Es ist operative Führung am Ort der Wertschöpfung. Fokus und Struktur entscheiden darüber, ob Probleme aufgedeckt und Verbesserungspotenziale realisiert werden.

Genau hier setzt VALUE STOPS an. Die von Lukas Morys entwickelte Methode ist eine strukturierte Kreativitätstechnik für den Shopfloor. Sie bietet zehn klare Perspektiven für den Produktionsrundgang.

Weg von Kontrolle – hin zur Befähigung.
Weg von Brandbekämpfung – hin zu Ursachenarbeit.
Weg von isolierten Kennzahlen – hin zu den richtigen Fragen.

Eine kompakte, praxisgeleitete Methodik für Operationsverantwortliche und Produktionsleiter, die ihre Fabrik wirklich verstehen und konsequent weiterentwickeln wollen.

Worauf soll ich heute achten?
