UPDATED WITH A NEW AFTERWORD BY THE AUTHORLONGLISTED AS A FINANCIAL TIMES AND SCHRODERS BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARDSHORTLISTED FOR THE ROYAL SOCIETY TRIVEDI SCIENCE BOOK PRIZEAn illuminating tour through the manufacturing world and its seismic influence on our lives, from internationally renowned expert Tim MinshallWe live in a manufactured world. Unless you are floating naked through space, you are right now in direct contact with multiple manufactured products, including furniture, technology, clothing, and even food. And yet the processes by which these things appear in our lives are virtually invisible. How often do we stop to think: Where do the things we buy actually come from? How are they made, and how do they make their way into our hands?The answers can be found in How Things Are Made, which traces the surprising paths taken by everyday items to reach consumers, from design to creation to delivery. Innovation expert Tim Minshall takes us on a journey through the manufacturing world, from the smallest job shops to mega-factories, from global shipping hubs to local delivery at your door, revealing the inner workings of the system that runs 24-7-365 to make and deliver the things we need—or want—to live our daily lives, including cars, cakes, phones, planes, drugs, and medical devices. Along the way, he explores how we can improve the fragility of our global manufacturing system and the impact it has on the natural world, presenting a path to a truly sustainable future.Brimming with energy and lively examples, How Things Are Made maps the awe-inspiring global system of manufacturing that enables virtually every aspect of our existence. By making sense of this surprising and hidden world, we are able to make better choices for ourselves, our communities, and the planet.

Professional Practice in Governance and Public Organizations

This Open Access book highlights the importance of administrative microdata sources. Administrative data presents several advantages, including wide coverage, low measurement error and collection costs, and interoperability with surveys.&nbsp;
Improved access would benefit many stakeholders: the research community would produce higher-quality and more numerous publications, policymakers and citizens would learn whether policies are effective, firms would benefit from greater market transparency, and trust in public institutions would increase. However, many barriers still exist. This book aims to address these issues.
Focusing on the European Union, the book is organized into two parts. The first part analyzes the access regimes in each EU country. It provides data users with information on how to access administrative data and offers data holders best practices for combining access with data security. The second part documents the benefits of administrative data in key policy areas - society, the economy, and the environment - and identifies specific areas of intervention.
Administrative data are the foundation for modern policy analysis. Berton and Paruolo’s exciting new book highlights state-of-the art applications of administrative data, offering practical advice on how to use the right data to learn “what works”. It also includes a valuable country-by-country overview of the administrative data in each EU country, curated by a who’s who list of experts.&nbsp; A must-read for anyone looking to learn more about the prospects and potential for administrative data in the EU.

From Administrative Sources to Public Value

Data-Driven Learning in the EU

A bold, hopeful argument for using our oceans to meet the worldwide need for food, renewable energy, and economic well-being without sacrificing the health of the planet As the world struggles to feed humanity, fuel economies and trade, and fulfill global energy needs, companies and governments are rushing to the vast blue expanse that covers two-thirds of our planet. But should we let them? A Sea of Wealth makes the provocative case for why we must harness the ocean—and demonstrates how we can do so wisely. Blending the latest science with engaging personal stories from a lifetime spent in and around the ocean, Ben Halpern takes readers around the globe to explore five key resources in the rapidly emerging blue economy: food, energy, transport, minerals, and carbon. He carefully considers what each has to offer, their environmental risks, and how they compare to land-based alternatives, while wrestling with his own feelings about using the sea. The danger is that industry and government will push too fast, too far into the ocean. Yet these expanding uses could provide environmental solutions at a planetary scale. A timely book by one of the world’s most influential environmental scientists, A Sea of Wealth tackles the question of whether we should halt or encourage the exploitation of our oceans and their untold resources—the answers may surprise you.

The Blue Economy and the Future of the Ocean

A Sea of Wealth

This book theoretically summarizes China’s exploration in integrating domestic ecological civilization construction with fulfilling international obligations to address climate change, demonstrating its responsibility and wisdom in advancing sustainable development and building a community with a shared future for mankind.
 
The coming 20 years will be a crucial period for China to build a moderately prosperous society in all respects, accelerate socialist modernization, and realize the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation. Chinese cities will simultaneously face challenges of economic development, environmental pollution, and global warming. Whether these three major challenges can be effectively addressed will determine whether China can forge a new type of urbanization with Chinese characteristics and whether its urban ecological environment can achieve sustainable development—a critical issue requiring in-depth study in the context of ecological civilization. This book systematically investigates climate change, urban ecological and environmental governance, target models for sustainable urban development, and pathways for reform.

The Green Transformation of Urban Areas in China under Global Warming

This open access book addresses the application of EU fundamental rights law by national courts. It offers a unique insight into the case law of courts in three EU Member States (Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands) as regards mutual trust and fundamental rights. Through a thorough analysis of over 1000 national court judgements from the last ten years, the book enables readers to view EU law from the perspective of national judges.
The book focuses on decisions regarding transfers under the Dublin Regulation and the European Arrest Warrant. These particular cases require national judges to balance the EU legal principle of mutual trust with individual fundamental rights. This is a demanding task due to the differences in approach between the Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights, as well as the inherent tension between the principle of mutual trust and fundamental rights. The book investigates how national judges navigate the differences in applicable laws (EU law, ECHR law, national law) in Dublin and EAW cases. Moreover, it dissects how and when national judges decide to allow or refuse a transfer, along with their legal reasoning. Finally, the manner in which national courts have utilised the preliminary reference procedure in these cases is considered.
This book will appeal to anyone interested in understanding how EU law works in practice and in the role of national courts, as it explains how national judges may approach similar questions of EU law differently. For students and researchers, the book serves as an important example of EU legal research, employing a systematic analysis of national case law. Finally, it aids practitioners in understanding how national judges approach Dublin and EAW cases and the reasoning behind their decisions to refuse or allow a transfer.&nbsp;
Lucia van der Meulen is an affiliated member of the Institute for European Law of the KU Leuven in Leuven, Belgium.

Deciding on Transfers under the EAW and Dublin Regulation

National Courts as EU Fundamental Rights Courts

Integrated Mega-Models and Systems Science

This open access book offers a systematic introduction to operational thinking as a distinctive Chinese cognitive framework for understanding and governing complex systems. Drawing on five millennia of Chinese civilization, it traces how strategic wisdom evolved from Yu the Great’s flood control, Dujiangyan and the Three Gorges Project to today’s South–North Water Transfer, “Dual Carbon” strategy, smart cities and AI-enabled decision-making. This book provides an original “trinity” framework of systems thinking, coordinated planning thinking, and balancing thinking, explaining how structural cognition, process integration, and conflict coordination work together to solve multi-objective, multi-constraint problems. Through rich historical and contemporary cases—from classical texts such as The Art of War, Qimin Yaoshu and Discourses on Salt and Iron to modern mega-projects, digital platforms and resilient supply chains—it shows how Chinese governance wisdom has been continuously transformed into modern methodologies for optimization, risk control and strategic planning. Methodologically, this book develops a complete toolkit of “structural cognition–process integration–conflict coordination,” supported by cognitive models, case analysis, and digital-intelligent teaching tools. It demonstrates how operational thinking can guide national governance modernization, regional coordinated development, industrial upgrading, and personal time- and life-management (for example, via the “Four Quadrants Rule”). Special chapters translate Party innovation theories and Marxist views of practice into operable methods, realizing the integration of “Great Ideology and Politics + digital intelligence + practical training” in general education and professional curricula. By integrating traditional culture, systems science, management science and AI, this book builds an independent knowledge system of operational thinking with Chinese characteristics, contemporary value and global relevance. It helps readers move from “cognitive mapping” to “practical navigation,” and from intuitive judgment to data- and model-driven decision-making.

Oxford Handbooks

This handbook on the "New" Space Economy (NSE) offers the first comprehensive analysis of the contemporary space economy. The "new" is characterized by commercialization, greater participation of the private sector, innovation, and increased engagement of national governments. Using multiple approaches, the volume conceptualizes the boundaries of an emerging field of inquiry, characterized by continuity and change and involving terrestrial and extraterrestrial activities. It covers the fundamental economic, institutional, and technological dynamics and assesses the socio-economic impact of the NSE. Largely a US and European phenomenon, the evolution of the NSE in other spacefaring nations such as China, India, Japan, and Russia is also examined. In The Oxford Handbook of the New Space Economy, chapters by both academics and practitioners systematically address the changing institutional arrangements, interactions between public and private actors, and the role of innovations and entrepreneurship. As constellations of satellites for earth observations, telecommunications, the internet, GPS, and other civilian applications tackle climate change and monitor natural disasters, the unsustainability of space activities due to orbital congestion and space debris is a reality. The 1967 UN Outer Space Treaty, which views space as a "global commons," needs revisiting to address regulatory challenges in space mining and other uses of extraterrestrial resources. This volume advances the state of knowledge on the dynamics of an emerging new space economy, identifies key stakeholders, and opens up future research areas for policymaking.

The Toxicity and Human Health Risks of Chemicals in our Environment

Calculated Risks

This book examines the profound economic, political, and social challenges posed by climate change, on the basis of a rigorous analysis of the cost of doing too little to control it and of the costs, benefits, and trade-offs of various mitigation strategies. It uniquely explores the global economic mechanisms and power dynamics driving inaction. Packed with case studies and actionable insights, it bridges complex economic theories and links them to practical solutions, making it an important resource for policymakers, academics, and thinkers focused on solutions.R.
