The Communal Consumption Experience

Rituals, Exchange and the Business of Connection

Consumer Law and the Circular Economy promotes sustainability in consumer law through the circular economy, detailing how legal frameworks can conserve resources, prevent waste, and hold manufacturers accountable for their products' lifecycle. Focusing on improving the circular economy, the book advocates for responsible economic, environmental, and social change. Identifying the current gaps and challenges in implementing circular economy practices, it suggests policies to align countries with the European Green Deal, contributing to achieving a climate-neutral, resource-efficient, and competitive economy by 2050. The book analyses political and operational barriers, maps resource flows and sustainability in participating countries and evaluates consumer protection policies. It also provides data-driven insights for policymaking, and critiques consumer education efforts across 40 countries. Other topics included are collaborative systems such as the recycling value chain, waste management and upcycling. The topics presented in this book are of interest to researchers in the field of consumer law, economics and sustainability.

A practical guide to becoming future-ready in the Age of Intelligence&nbsp; The future doesn't arrive all at once-it emerges in signals, patterns, shifts, and stories. Designing the Future is your field guide to making sense of that complexity.&nbsp;In their book&nbsp;SuperShifts, authors Steve Fisher and Ja-Nae Duane&nbsp;mapped the tectonic transformations reshaping society. And now, in their new work&nbsp;Designing the Future,&nbsp;they demonstrate how to take&nbsp;the next step: how to apply foresight methods to your life, your work, and your organization.&nbsp; Designing the Future&nbsp;isn't&nbsp;about trying to predict&nbsp;the specifics of&nbsp;tomorrow. That's impossible. It's about preparing for possibility today. It explores&nbsp;what it's like to practice futures thinking in real time, helping you discover what kind of futurist you are: a signal spotter, a systems mapper, a storyteller, or a strategist. Whether you're a leader, innovator, or curious learner, you'll build the confidence to see change early and respond with clarity.&nbsp; The book revisits the Macrohistory and the Ages and Eras Theory, tracing long arcs of civilizational change&nbsp;that include the Ages of Faith, Industry, Machines, Digital, and now the Age of Intelligence. It shows you how to understand the past so you can navigate the&nbsp;future, revealing how today's disruptions connect to centuries-long patterns of transformation.&nbsp; Fisher and Duane dive deep into the Nine SuperShifts:&nbsp;Generational Drift, IntelliFusion, Techceleration, Reality Remix, PowerFlow, EcoAwakening, SocialQuake, World Mosaic, and BioNexus.&nbsp;This time, however, you'll connect them directly to your own domains: your career, your community, your products, and your organizational strategy.&nbsp;They walk you through&nbsp;you how to translate global transformation into personal and professional action.&nbsp; Inside the book:&nbsp; <ul> <li>Understanding Change:&nbsp;Macrohistory and the Ages and Eras Theory, revealing the long arcs of transformation that shape the present and signal the future&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>The Nine SuperShifts:&nbsp;A deeper exploration of the forces reshaping society, with direct connections to your strategy, work and life&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>The Spectrum Foresight Framework(TM):&nbsp;A&nbsp;method built for plural futures, as opposed to linear forecasting,&nbsp;able to embrace multiple possibilities and perspectives across ten recursive stages: Scope, Sensing, Shifts, Scenes, Scenarios, Stories, Solutions, Strategy, Scale, and Sustain&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Signals Scanning &amp; Pattern Recognition:&nbsp;Practical methods for detecting weak signals, mapping tensions, and uncovering hidden opportunities&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>World-Building &amp; World-Shaping:&nbsp;Tools to design immersive future scenes, scenarios, and stories that make complexity tangible&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>From Imagination to Action:&nbsp;How to transform foresight into products, solutions, and strategies you can implement now&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Building Foresight Organizations:&nbsp;Frameworks for embedding futures thinking into culture, systems, and decision-making&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>The Futures Operating System (FOS)(TM):&nbsp;A blueprint for integrating foresight into the rhythms, roles, and tools of your organization&nbsp;</li> </ul> The pace of change is accelerating. AI, climate disruption, demographic shifts, and institutional breakdowns are reshaping the way we live and work.&nbsp;Designing the Future&nbsp;equips you with the tools to not just react&nbsp;-&nbsp;but to lead with foresight. It's a bridge between imagination and execution, helping you move from possibility to practice.

This book provides a concise and interdisciplinary introduction to sustainable development, examining its historical evolution, legal foundations, and contemporary governance challenges. It traces the emergence of sustainability from early ecological warnings to its institutionalization through international frameworks, demonstrating how sustainable development has become a central organizing principle of global policy.Organized around seven thematic chapters, the book covers the conceptual and legal foundations of sustainability, its core governance principles, socio-technical transition pathways, property and commons theory, global sustainability finance, and the implications of digitalization and artificial intelligence for development. Each chapter integrates legal analysis, governance theory, and, in some cases, real-world case studies to show how sustainability principles move from rhetoric to enforceable norms. Key features include accessible chapter abstracts, a comprehensive list of abbreviations, and a structured list of figures supporting visual learning. The book approaches sustainable development not as a technical toolkit but as a political and institutional challenge requiring systemic reform.The volume is intended for undergraduate and postgraduate students in environmental studies, law, governance, economics, and public policy, as well as researchers, practitioners, and policymakers engaged with sustainability transitions, international environmental law, and development governance.

This is a clear, compelling guide to improving racial literacy in schools and communities, demonstrating how making that investment can transform our education system. Exploring the ability to understand race, racism and anti-racism as an effective tool for recognising and challenging racism, educators and learners will find opportunities to develop their racial literacy through a range of practical activities. These form part of an ongoing journey of learning, using the impact of De Montfort University's Stephen Lawrence Research Centre. This specific, focused approach places the book's advice and ideas - from decolonising the curriculum and anti-racist educator training to student ambassadors and open dialogue - squarely within the historical context of race and education in the UK. By working through the nuance of racial consciousness and towards a fair and equitable society it stands as a productive counterpoint to the conventional wisdom of how to 'solve' racism. This is essential reading for anyone committed to achieving social justice and racial equity in our education system.

Why Big Labor moved to the right— and the fight ahead for the left to win back America’s working class Unions helped construct the American middle class, defeat Jim Crow, and advance progressive rights, but in Trump’s America, the labor movement is changing. In Big Labor's Big Shift, journalist Nathan Bomey explores how Big Labor and the working class are no longer an automatic ally of the American left. Fueled by decades of economic decline, political disillusionment, and cultural disenfranchisement, new politically nebulous and economically populist leaders in the movement are building a powerful new movement based on class warfare that prizes wage and benefit gains over traditional progressive priorities. Through original reporting and first-hand interviews, Bomey traces key events that have led to this political shift. Bomey reveals: -At the Teamsters, president Sean O’Brien is cozying up to Donald Trump and blasting Democrats as tools of big business, even showing up at the Republican National Convention to deliver his message. -At the United Auto Workers, president Shawn Fain is seizing an opportunity to break the free trade consensus in Washington. The devout Christian, who wields religious rhetoric from the stump, is aligning with the Trump White House on tariffs and blasting Democrats for aggressively pursuing electric vehicles to fight climate change. Bomey shows how the two interconnected phenomena represent a massive political realignment—not just along cultural and nationalism lines, but of the working class itself away from its historic roots in the Democratic party. Urgent and compelling, Big Labor's Big Shift encapsulates the fight for the soul of the union movement.
