Newman R: If I Could Eat the Stars

If I Could Eat the Stars

A middle-grade Australian poetry collection

Elephant and Piggie stick together like only best friends can!&nbsp; This fun-filled sticker-scene book features favorite Elephant &amp; Piggie adventures along with special guest appearances from a cast of pals including Snake, Bat, Whale, and Ice Cream Penguin.&nbsp; Dance with Gerald, play ball with Snake, make slop with Piggie, go for a drivey-drive-drive, and so much more! &nbsp;

Elephant & Piggie: Let's Sticker!

Melissa Jørgenrud Helton's debut collection, A Middle-Aged Woman Rages, captures a life on the brink of fifty. These poems confront parenting grown children, divorce, and a country sliding toward authoritarianism, all while navigating perimenopause and fighting to sustain creativity and healing. Searing and unapologetic, Helton refuses silence. Her poems name what women are taught to swallow and model truth-telling as survival - inviting and emboldening women to speak with power and without permission.

The MIT Press Essential Knowledge series

What lies underneath digital platforms—their invisible architecture and governance that determine everything visible. Every time you unlock your phone, stream a show, or start your car, you’re entering a world shaped by thousands of engineering decisions you’ll never see. Most platform conversations fixate on their visible canopy—business models, user experience, competitive strategy—the “leaves,” in a sense. Platforms by Amrit Tiwana excavates their roots. The book begins with a simple DNA test that separates authentic from faux platforms, then traces the forces turning tractors, pacemakers, and elevators into platforms. Using the platform trinity, the author explores principles behind why platforms behave so differently, why superior technology doesn’t always win, and why—unlike products that reach a final form—platforms never stop evolving. From there the book explains platforms’ two hidden root systems: The first system, architecture, shows how Lego-like “modular” design, frozen interfaces, and prefab building blocks let thousands of outsiders contribute pieces that snap into colossal systems. The second system, governance, describes where architecture confronts human behavior. Elegant architecture flails with poor governance, so both demand discipline.

SILLY STORIES – And How to Write Them!

Skills for Scholars

A playful and irreverent argument for—and practical guide to—writing in a rich and extraordinary style When it comes to literary style, the commonplace wisdom of composition classrooms, newsrooms, and editorial offices has long been that less is more. Students are taught that the best prose is that which eschews ornamentation and rhetorical flourish. But what if sometimes more is more? In Praise of Purple Prose playfully and cheekily contests a century worth of convention that rejects the baroque and byzantine as “purple prose,” making the case that fun and joy in language can be as important as concision and comprehension. Part style guide and part manifesto, the book rewrites the rules on writing. Ed Simon encourages writers to embrace the extraordinary, to call upon the classical rhetorical devices, and to relish in the richness of description and the erudition of allusion. He demonstrates that serpentine syntax, eccentric diction, and idiosyncratic punctuation, when used judiciously, can express the complexity of experience, bring out the pleasures of language, and help readers develop a unique voice in a world where AI threatens to make everyone sound alike. To illustrate its arguments, the book features examples of extraordinary prose from dozens of writers, including John Donne, Virginia Woolf, Joan Didion, Salman Rushdie, Marilynne Robinson, and Zadie Smith. Playful and provocative, In Praise of Purple Prose will leave readers with a new appreciation for fancy prose and inspire writers to draw on all of the liveliest and most powerful resources of English in their work.

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.

Poetry in the Digital Age

Das vorliegende Buch widmet sich gegenwärtigen poetischen Praktiken, die sich durch ihre mediale Zirkulation auszeichnen: (1) Mediatisierungen aufgeführter Lyrik, die über verschiedene Plattformen wie YouTube und TikTok zirkulieren, (2) gedruckte Lyrikbände, die auf sozialen Medien wie TikTok und Instagram zirkulieren sowie weitere Situierungen von deren Gedichten in verschiedenste weitere Materialitäten und (3) digitale Interfaces, die zum Bestandteil gedruckter Lyrikbände werden oder auf die vermittels von QR-Codes verwiesen wird. Die Untersuchung dieser Zirkulationen verspricht neue Perspektiven in doppelter Hinsicht: auf die Veränderungen der Gegenwartslyrik durch die Digitalisierung und zugleich auf die Funktionsweisen und Ästhetiken digitaler Medien.Notwendig ist folglich das interdisziplinäre Zusammenführen von Literatur-, Film- und Medienwissenschaft und der Rückgriff auf Konzepte aus neuen Forschungsfeldern wie den Interface Studies, den Platform Studies oder den App Studies. Erst dadurch wird der ästhetische Einfluss dieser medialen Zirkulationen greifbar, der sich in Prozessen wie dem verlustreichen Umformatieren, taktilen Rezeptionsmodi und poetischen Praktiken als Unterbrechung digitaler Datenverarbeitungen zeigt.

'The poet laureate of human emotion' ELIZABETH DAY 'Left me feeling wiser and more open to life' OLIVER BURKEMAN 'A work of genius' INDIA KNIGHTChange the way you think about love.When it comes to relationships, why do we find things so difficult? Drawing on more than forty years of candid and surprising conversations with his patients, psychoanalyst Stephen Grosz shows us how we can be better at love.In the intimate space of the consulting room, we meet the woman who can't post her wedding invitations but then, decades later, can't decide whether to get divorced; the ex-nun whose unconscious fear of pregnancy drove her into the convent; and the friendship group that explodes when an adulterous affair begins.
