Great ideas are all around us, waiting to be discovered. Here's how to find them. We're used to imagining creativity as a lightbulb moment - sudden, mysterious, reserved for the gifted few. But what if ideas aren't conjured from thin air? What if they're discovered - more like precious artifacts that we unearth and refine? In How Great Ideas Happen, cognitive scientist George Newman draws on cutting-edge research to show that creativity isn't magic, it's method. The most successful innovators don't wait to be struck by brilliance; their creative process is more like archeology. As keen-eyed explorers, they scan the terrain, dig with intention, and, with a little luck, find gold. With vivid examples from the arts, science, and business, Newman shows how creativity often comes from discovering what was already there. For example, how Jackson Pollock tapped into deep patterns in nature to create his famous "drip" paintings; how Korean filmmakers created an entirely new genre by closely studying foreign films; or, how Paul Simon made Graceland by carefully sifting through previously recorded material for what he could take away. By revealing the hidden steps behind breakthrough success, How Great Ideas Happen uncovers a repeatable method that anyone can follow, reframing creativity not as a rare gift, but as a universal capacity waiting to be unlocked through exploration. The creative process is an adventure of ideas - this book is your guide.

The Hidden Steps Behind Breakthrough Success

How Great Ideas Happen

These leadership lessons work for leaders at every level when everything goes wrong, from the doctor who saved lives after the 9/11 attacks, in war-torn Ukraine, and on the NFL sidelines. Dr. Thom Mayer doesn’t just talk about leadership: he lives it in the world’s most high-stakes situations. From commanding the 9/11 Pentagon rescue operation to rushing onto NFL fields during medical emergencies to training doctors in war-torn Ukraine, Mayer has learned that leadership isn’t about titles or positions. It’s about action. In this practical guide, Mayer reveals eleven provocative principles that flip conventional leadership wisdom: “Leadership is worthless . . . but leading is priceless.” “Power is worthless . . . but influence is priceless.” “Success is worthless . . . but failure is priceless.” Through gripping stories from the Pentagon’s smoking corridors, NFL sidelines, and Ukrainian hospitals, he shows how real leaders emerge not from corner offices but from moments of crisis when someone must step up and act. Whether readers are managing a team, raising a family, or facing a crossroads, Mayer’s hard-won insights will transform how readers think about influence, teamwork, and making decisions under pressure. This isn’t theoretical leadership. Mayer offers battle-tested wisdom from someone who has led when lives hung in the balance.

'This new edition tells you all you need to know about how construction defects in homes occur, how they might be prevented, and how they might be cured.' &gt;The first edition of Residential Construction Law in 2021 offered the only systematic and analytical overview of the legal framework for residential construction. Since then, there have been significant legislative and caselaw developments across the UK, Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia and Ireland. In this second edition, the authors and their team of specialist contributors have completely revised the content, taking these changes into account. This new edition refers to more than 350 new cases, along with ground-breaking reforms like the UK's Building Safety Act 2022 and lessons from the September 2024 Phase 2 report of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry. The book also anticipates planned reforms, including sweeping changes in several Australian states. &gt;Accompanying online resources for this title can be found at bloomsbury.pub/residential-construction-law

It's Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!Rick Caruso has earned a reputation for being a problem solver--somebody who's not afraid of facing big challenges. From his appointment to Water Commissioner and later Police Commissioner in Los Angeles to his bold real estate ventures, Caruso made the decisions he felt were right, even in the face of staunch adversity. In Its Not Too Late, Caruso shares the lessons he learned from his experiences while offering us all a path forward to a better future. At a time when more importance is placed on choosing sides than actually getting things done (let alone done right), Caruso offers refreshing perspective and will teach you how to let go of false divisions, and instead to embrace the search for actual answers and solutions.Togetherness, brotherhood, sisterhood, faith in each other, respect for each other, the ideals preached in almost every faith on Earth are the way forward, no matter how difficult the climb in front of us may seem. And ultimately, the only way we will get back on that path is for each of us to step up, with integrity, in whatever small way we can: for our kids, for our communities, for our country, and for each other.

It’s Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!

The Power of Finding Steadfast Solutions

It's Not Too Late

Most innovation advice breaks down when technology leads the market.
For decades, we've been taught that innovation starts with customer validation, empathy maps, and rapid feedback loops. That approach works when problems are well understood and solutions are incremental. But it quietly fails when feedback loops are slow, expensive, or nonexistent, when the technology itself must exist before customers can even imagine what is possible.
Build First, Market Later is a contrarian but practical book for engineers, technical founders, and system builders working at the edge of what is possible. It explains why breakthrough innovation rarely starts with market demand, why customers often cannot articulate needs for capabilities that do not yet exist, and why the most important innovations emerge from building first, then engaging the market when it is ready.
This book is not a rejection of Lean Startup or design thinking. It is an explanation of their limits, and a guide to when different innovation methods actually apply.
Drawing on examples ranging from lasers and semiconductors to software platforms, AI systems, medical technology, and open-source infrastructure, Farhad Abtahi shows how innovation fails not because of bad ideas, but because of misordered steps. Validation without physics. Stories without systems. Markets consulted before capabilities exist.
Build First, Market Later does not offer a recipe. It offers something more useful: a way to reason about innovation when the usual playbooks stop working.
If you are optimizing features, this book is not for you.
If you are building something that has never existed before, it is.

The Engineers Argument for Breakthrough Innovation

Build First, Market Later

This open access book examines the role played by international, regional, and national legal frameworks in holding corporations operating in the natural resource sector accountable for human rights violations in the Global South.

Influential scholars from across the world address pressing issues concerning the integration of business and human rights standards for better governance of natural resources. They focus particularly on extractive and multinational companies in the Global South and their role in the transition to net zero societies. The book also examines legal mechanisms for corporate accountability under international, human rights and transnational law, using case studies from selected countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

The book reviews proposals for an enforceable legal framework to hold corporations accountable for human rights abuses and environmental damage. It considers initiatives such as the OECD Guidelines on Multinational Enterprises, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the UN's Draft Business and Human Rights Treaty, and the European Union Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive. 

The book is essential reading for researchers working in the fields of business and human rights law, natural resources law, environmental law and international law, as well as corporate and human rights practitioners litigating in the energy and natural resources sectors.

The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the Bloomsbury Open Collections Library Collective.

Introduction to Quantitative Economics

This book is a critical examination of the legal and regulatory frameworks that govern modern sport, questioning whether the ideals of fairness and a 'level playing field' extend beyond the pitch into the boardrooms where decisions are made.
Focusing on the self-regulation model prevalent in the UK and its global influence, Jonathan G. Merritt explores the intersection of sport and law through detailed analysis of statutes, case law, and legal principles. The book interrogates whether contemporary sports governance serves the interests of its primary stakeholders-players, athletes, and spectators-or those of a powerful ruling elite. By drawing on themes from politics, sociology, and religion, it exposes the deeper power dynamics at play and challenges the assumption that law in sport consistently upholds justice and equality. This is an essential resource for scholars of sports law, governance, and socio-legal studies.
