Beeluxeerallc: GUERRILLA THINKING

GUERRILLA THINKING

As heard on NPR's Here &amp; Now program!"Knowing our history is part of being a citizen . . . The book's design is as playful as Marta Sevilla's art" -- The New York Times, 'How Four Children's Picture Books See America at 250'★ "Mihaly delivers refreshing doses of reality that will deepen any reader's understanding of our nation's complex history and values" - Booklist★ "A visually dynamic, intellectually rigorous resource that challenges young readers to question historical narratives and recognize bias--essential for social studies curricula and media literacy instruction" - School Library Journal"Stories can dazzle, and they can deceive. America's Founding Myths teaches young people to practice the art of asking questions -- not to shatter our national ideals, but to provide a sounder foundation for them. Because history, like Oz, is never exactly as it seems" - Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked"Author Christy Mihaly recognizes that history without blemishes is boring and that the best way to create informed citizens is to give them the skills to confront the full record of our lives together as a not always united people." -- Robert A. Gross, author of The Minutemen and Their World and The Transcendentalists and Their WorldHave you ever wondered... Did Christopher Columbus REALLY discover America? What REALLY happened at the first Thanksgiving? Did Paul Revere REALLY shout "The British are coming!?" It's time to pull the curtain back on these well-known myths to find out what REALLY happened and where these stories we've heard over and over again came from. Perfect for history-loving kids and educators looking to teach kids about information literacy, America's Founding Myths is a must-have on any history lover's shelf!<ul><li>Celebrate America's 250th anniversary with this exploration of the best-known stories about the founding of the United States.</li><li>Interactive extras including silly speech bubbles, gatefolds, lift-the-flaps, and activities at the back make learning about American history fun and engaging for kids. </li><li>Encourages information literacy by empowering young people to ask questions, think critically and check sources.</li></ul>

America's Founding Myths...And What REALLY Happened

From Data to Decision

Business Analytics

A wide-ranging analysis of how the material limits to discrete, silicon-based computing power impact employment and automation. Since the end of the Second World War, we have come to expect continual growth in computing power and the rapid development of digital technology. This dynamic has enabled informational procedures to supplant an ever-increasing range of human and mechanical activity. However, indications that the semiconductor industry is approaching the physical limits of integrated circuitry pose an existential challenge to Intel Corporation cofounder Gordon Moore’s “law,” which prescribes an exponential increase in microchip density—and, by extension, processing performance—every two years. Placing theories of employment in dialectical conjunction with the concrete operations of computing, 100% Utilization explores the consequences of pushing processing power to its limits for a culture seemingly reliant on automation as much as human labor. In accounting for this contradiction, Andrew Lison offers a corrective to theories of digital mediation emphasizing its symbolic and representational capabilities. He connects the looming end of Moore’s law to trends in semiconductor manufacturing, custom hardware, and parallelized software techniques, including AI. Ultimately, he traces this historical technological boom and impending bust through the racialized history of Silicon Valley to longer-term conceptions of the relationship between machinery and labor.

Computation and Labor After Moore's Law

100% Utilization

The machine can search faster than you. Write cleaner than you. It calculates, summarizes, and optimizes better than you and it is getting better at all of these, every month. Every day.

What it cannot do is wonder. The only thing that still costs something, that compounds, that builds, and that makes you genuinely difficult to replace, is the quality of your questions.

CURIOUS is a book about that edge. Drawing on neuroscience, philosophy, and two decades at the intersection of business, technology, and human behaviour, it makes the case that curiosity is not a personality trait. It is a skill. One that can be built, directed, and deployed, in a boardroom, in a career, in life.

The people who thrive in the age of AI will not be the most knowledgeable. 
They will be the most curious.

Are you?

The Only Skill the Age of AI Cannot Replace

CURIOUS

Fusing High Tech with Human Touch for Organizational Success

The Pulse of Progress

Passionately Transforming Management

The allure of crime is undeniable. From news headlines to true crime podcasts, crime has a way of entrapping our interest and imagination. An exploration of the lessons that managers can learn from organised crime, Passionately Transforming Management with Crime addresses how criminal enterprises engage with leadership and innovation, and how popular representations of crime affect our perceptions of management and organisation. Alf Rehn's enticing text explores crime from a number of angles - historical, cultural and economic - to better understand the link between business and crime, and the lessons that can be shared. It looks to crime both as a source of inspiration for entrepreneurship and organisation, and as an influence on management through iconographies, legends and storytelling. The book also debunks common misconceptions about the business of crime, and touches on the dangers of romanticising criminal endeavours. Following an examination of criminals in history and fiction, Passionately Transforming Management with Crime progresses to discuss why we are attracted to crime, how crime mirrors legitimate businesses, and what we can learn from the criminal underworld, both real and fictional. Passionately Transforming Management with Crime offers a compelling and novel approach to management that provides valuable insights for practicing managers, professionals, advanced postgraduate students and scholars in Management, Critical Management Studies and Organisation Studies. Witty and engaging, this text is a fascinating read for those interested in discovering the management lessons to be learnt from Jean Genet, Biggie Smalls and Grand Theft Auto.

Passionately Transforming Management: Crime

Why Strategic Thinking Leads the Way to Excellence

THE HIKE

How can leaders, creators, and thinkers maintain human agency, sharp judgment, and strategic intent in an age dominated by artificial intelligence?

Thinking With AI, Deciding Without It offers a grounded, actionable guide for navigating the intersection of human intelligence and machine capability. As artificial intelligence becomes embedded in daily workflows, business strategy, and decision-making systems, the line between algorithmic efficiency and human discernment is increasingly blurred. While AI excels at rapid analysis, pattern recognition, and code acceleration, it lacks critical human dimensions: intuition, ethical reasoning, context, and executive decision-making.
This book provides a pragmatic roadmap for professionals, executives, and curious thinkers seeking to leverage AI as a powerful collaborative engine without surrendering ultimate control.

Inside, you will explore:The Power of Augmentation: How to treat AI as a thought partner to accelerate analysis, brainstorm complex ideas, and optimize execution.
The Boundaries of Automation: Why critical thinking, nuanced judgment, and strategic oversight must remain strictly human responsibilities.
Practical Frameworks: Clear strategies for integrating AI tools effectively while safeguarding decision integrity, creative authenticity, and leadership autonomy.
Navigating Modern Workflows: Real-world perspectives on leveraging algorithmic speed without compromising human intent.



Whether you are leading a team through technological change, adapting your career strategy to the modern workplace, or looking to harness big data and intelligent tools without losing your cognitive edge, Thinking With AI, Deciding Without It is an essential handbook for staying sharp, deliberate, and in command.

25 Analytical Judgments That Only Humans Can Make

Thinking With AI, Deciding Without It

Why The Stack—an accidental megastructure—is both a technological apparatus and the geopolitical model of our times. A tenth anniversary edition of the comprehensive political philosophy of planetary-scale computation, with a new preface from the author. What has planetary-scale computation done to our geopolitical realities? It takes different forms at different scales—from energy and mineral sourcing and subterranean cloud infrastructure to urban software and massive universal addressing systems; from interfaces drawn by the augmentation of the hand and eye to users identified by self-quantification and the arrival of legions of sensors, algorithms, and robots. Together, how do these distort and deform modern political geographies and produce new territories in their own image? In an account that is both theoretical and technical, drawing on political philosophy, design theory, and computer science, Bratton explores six layers of The Stack: Earth, Cloud, City, Address, Interface, User.

The Book of Infinity

Goldsmiths Press / Methods Lab

Scholars around the world on how climate change stands to alter our research methods. Current research norms are increasingly unsustainable for the planet and scholars alike. Dominant modes of research and research dissemination place a premium on frequent travel and ever-expanding and energy-intensive archives of digital data. This shapes the character of research and the research community, advantaging hyper-mobile, well-resourced scholarly subjects above others, deepening both the climate and labor crises in academia. Low Carbon Research Methods explores the epistemological and equity impacts of high-carbon research as well as the potential gains made possible through a transition towards slower, less mobile, and more collaborative forms of inquiry and exchange. Through short, multi-authored chapters the book examines the prospects and challenges of decarbonizing different academic methods, including archival, ethnographic, arts-based, textual, and digital modes of inquiry. Its authors provide self-reflexive analyses, practical advice, and provocations to researchers new to critical methodology, as well as those returning to their methods with new questions prompted by growing climate justice imperatives, the disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic, and long-standing critiques from feminist, Global South, and disability studies scholars. In its emphasis on method, the book offers a generative meeting point for these varied concerns and coalitions. Methods usefully tie questions of individual behaviour choices to institutional policies and social practices—specifically around labor—and as such can provide useful avenues of collective action. Finally, the book also builds its project through distinct experiments in form. Its authors explore a range of styles, some specific to their disciplinary traditions, and some drawn from diverse genres including the manifesto, epistolary correspondence, group dialog, memoir, and speculative fiction. These variations in style underscore the argumentative aims of the book as a whole: to open, but not conclusively decide, discussions on this topic within different communities of practice.
