The Nightshade God

Exposes the anatomy of organizational harm and how to save institutions from toxic culture While we often read about corporate scandals, we are left wondering: why do organizations keep causing harm?​​​​​​​ Benjamin van Rooij and Nicholas Lord argue that to truly understand and address the impacts of dysfunctional organizations we must look beyond the senior executives and/or leaders 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>Boeing focusing so much on its day-to-day share price that it lost sight of ensuring the long-term safety of its 737 MAX airplanes.</li><li>Volkswagen experimenting with monkeys locked in cages breathing exhaust fumes in a desperate attempt to deny the harm of its “clean diesel” engines.</li><li>How the Oakland Police Department taught its rookies to engage in racist and abusive policing practices, resisting decades-long attempts to reform the department.</li></ul> Revealing, accessible, and engaging, Toxic, breaks down the core characteristics of toxic organizations and shows readers how to recognize and address toxicity in their everyday lives.

Exposes the anatomy of organizational harm and how to save institutions from toxic cultures While we often read about the scandals organizations cause, we are often left wondering: why do organizations keep causing harm? Benjamin van Rooij and Nicholas Lord argue that to truly understand and address the impacts of dysfunctional workplaces we must understand the economic, social, and governmental contexts. 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 climate change, structural abuse, and the failures of both private and public institutions. Stories include: <ul><li>The role the US Federal Aviation Authority played in Boeing’s failure to ensure the safety of its 737 MAX airplanes</li><li>Volkswagen executives installing emission cheating software in 11 million vehicles</li><li>How Monsanto suppressed critical scientific evidence of the harmful nature of some of its most important products.</li></ul> Accessible, engaging, and full of insight, Toxic, breaks down the core characteristics of toxic organizations and equips readers with tools to unearth and prevent toxicity.

An in-depth exploration of the network of agencies involved in policing child pornography—and what the future of security and care looks like. Facing the Child investigates the technocratic expertise in the policing of child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Mitali Thakor argues that CSAM has come to be framed as primarily a digital problem, to be resolved digitally, thereby unleashing a new form of corporatized policing helmed by global technology companies. Ambitious in scope, this multi-sited global ethnography draws on four years of original fieldwork and interviews with technology companies in the US, the United Nations in Bangkok, Thai and Dutch NGOs, and law enforcement in the US and the Netherlands. The book argues that in the 2010s, a network of technology companies, NGOs, and law enforcement created the notion of a “virtual child” in need of techno-solutionist saving to justify a vast expansion of surveillance technologies. The book examines how pervasive myths of child abuse online were exploited to serve the aims of seemingly disparate groups, from Christian neo-abolitionists to NGOs conducting virtual sting operations. It is this complex relationship between the care and securitization needed to fix the child victim as an object of data, concern, and rescue that the book explores.

Facing the Child

Part life philosophy, part financial clarity, and part real-world wisdom from a hugely popular estate planning attorney who has seen what happens when families plan and when they don't. I'm Sorry I'm Dead helps readers confront the reality of life's end, not in a morbid way, but in a deeply empowering one. Estate planning attorney, entrepreneur, and best-selling author Pamela Maass Garrett aka Law Mother has helped thousands of families navigate what happens when someone dies. She has seen firsthand that the biggest problems families face are rarely legal: they are emotional, relational, and the result of decisions never made . . . siblings that stop speaking over a dispute about their parent's home, a grieving widow locked out of bank accounts because she didn't know how to get access, and families forced to guess about critical medical decisions. All of these problems can be easily avoided. In this book, Garrett introduces a powerful mindset shift: when you face the end of life honestly, you begin living more intentionally today. Through compelling stories from real families, practical financial insights, and simple decision-making frameworks, readers learn how to take control of their lives before circumstances take control of them. The book guides readers through the most important life decisions most people avoid: · how to organize finances and build real wealth · how to protect loved ones legally and emotionally · how to make difficult family decisions before crisis strikes · how to prevent conflict, confusion, and regret after death · how to create a legacy that strengthens future generations rather than unintentionally burdening them with a huge tax bill · what you really can and can't do Rather than overwhelming readers with technical legal details, I'm Sorry I'm Dead offers a clear philosophy and practical tools for making the decisions that matter most. The result is a life lived with greater clarity, stronger relationships, and the peace of knowing the people you love will be protected. This book is for anyone who wants to stop drifting through life and start deciding it.

'A riotous adventure, populated by a cast of vivid, glittering characters' JENNIFER SAINT on Psyche and Eros 'A romance that will stay with its reader long after the final word is read' LAUREN J.A. BEAR Daughters. Warriors. Lovers. "There is the love that is thrust upon us, and love that we choose. Run after the latter, no matter what gods and men say, and never let it go. Or at least, never let yourself look back." Medea, born to the goddess Hekate and wicked King Aeetes, endures a lonely and trapped life on the island of Colchis. Yet as she grows, so do her powerful talents of witchcraft and magic. When Jason, Prince of Iolcus, and his band of Argonauts arrive on the island, Medea knows it is her one chance to escape. If she helps Jason steal the Golden Fleece from her father, he promises to marry her and take her back to his kingdom. Atalanta, raised by bears, is a warrior caught between the wilderness and the human world, but never fully part of either. After the sudden disappearance of the woman she loves, Atalanta joins the Argonauts in an attempt to find her. But when Medea joins the ship, the sorceress awakens something in Atalanta that she cannot ignore - something more dangerous than she could ever have imagined. As the ship sets sail, Medea and Atalanta will be forced to choose between the life they always wished for, and a love they secretly desire - but in a world ruled by men, it might just destroy them...

Don't miss the next stunning, exciting and hotly-anticipated feminist retelling of one of the greatest love stories in Greek mythology, Jason and the Argonauts, but for the first time told from Atalanta and Medea's perspective.

The page-turning and atmospheric Greek mythology retelling you don’t want to miss!

The Witch and the Huntress

Humanity's most spectacular era yet is increasingly within reach.So why are we doing everything we can to hold it back?The bestselling author of The Rational Optimist delivers a daring vision of the future - one that is potentially dazzling, but only if we stop sleepwalking into self-inflicted decline.We're on the brink of a truly spectacular explosion of productivity and prosperity, argues Matt Ridley, thanks to a combination of artificial intelligence, material science and genomic knowledge that is unprecedented in its scope and implications. With characteristic wit and ferocity, he confronts the irrational pessimism that dominates public discourse and examines the bureaucratic bloat, regulatory overreach, ideological superstition and crony capitalism that stand in the way.Optimistic in conclusion but unsparing in its analysis, The Flourishing is a rousing call to achieve and innovate by refusing to settle for a merely adequate future when a magnificent one is within reach.

The Rational Pessimist

How women in and around the Guinness family - including Adelaide, Lady Iveagh and Olive, Lady Ardilaun - helped to transform the life and fabric of Dublin and the social history of Ireland.In the 19th century Guinness not only became the world's largest brewery, it was also a pioneering force in providing good conditions for its workforce. This approach shaped social programmes in Dublin and further afield, transforming healthcare, social housing and urban improvement. But it was the women of the family who first promulgated that culture.Women such as the sisters Anne and Rebecca Lee Guinness, who championed support for women's health surprisingly early on. Women like Adelaide, Lady Iveagh and Olive, Lady Ardilaun, who wielded influence at the heart of Ireland's elite. And women who worked in fields such as fashion, medicine and the markets, all part of Guinness's wider Dublin ecosystem. From the bestselling historian Antonia Hart, and based on new archival research, Guinness Women tells a riveting new story of the impact made by remarkable women in and around the early generations of the great brewing family.Word count: 70,000 words.

This cutting-edge collection is a riposte to the deep assumption that law should be written exclusively for and by the reasonable person, as the person to whom law is addressed and by reference to whom laws are designed and calibrated. The book looks at how the social dimension of the human experience is central to human existence: connections with other people shape our lives in profound ways. While law confers formal status on certain relationships and intervenes to remedy serious injustices that occur, it does not generally concern itself with the individual as a person formed through those and other relationships. It is most often addressed to the individual, on the assumption that individuals are rational autonomous agents. It poses a deep challenge to that assumption. First, the collection opens space for conversation on the social dimension of the human experience in the context of law by critically considering existing conceptual tools that could support such a conversation, e.g., community, solidarity, associations,collective rights, and cosmopolitan law. Second, the collection takes an inventory of the extent to which law currently takes the social dimension of personhood into account in fields as diverse as criminal culpability, natural resources law, human rights, company lawand administrative justice. In moving beyond the fields that have already been the subject of post-individualist and post-autonomy discourse, such as family law and medical law, this collection is a vital contribution to igniting a broader conversation about the relationship between the sociable person and the law.

"Lost Worlds convinces us of the value of slowing down to recognize the tremendous diversity of the human past. But he presses hard against the conclusion that there was any direction or pattern behind its complexity." —The Wall Street Journal“A spellbinding tour de force!” —Walter Scheidel, author of What Is Ancient History?“This is non-fiction storytelling at its finest.” —Eric H. Cline, author of 1177 B.C.The creator of the hit podcast Tides of History offers a new look at humanity’s deep past, showing us how our world was built not by inevitability, but by trial and error on a global scale.There’s a familiar story about us humans: we went from hunting and gathering to farming, wandering bands to villages and cities, clans and chieftains to states and kings. But Lost Worlds offers a new narrative of humanity’s deep history. Here beloved podcast host Patrick Wyman focuses on the 10,000-year span between the end of the Ice Age and the decline of the Bronze Age—the period when civilization as we understand it emerged, introducing social hierarchies, urbanism, complex political organizations, and the written word.In this nuanced retelling, human progress is no longer a straight march from caves to cities: Farming didn’t always replace foraging, villages didn’t automatically spark agriculture, and cities didn’t necessitate rigid hierarchies. For thousands of years, humans merely improvised. By the end of the Bronze Age, the world had become unrecognizable: mammoths and giant sloths replaced by cattle and sheep, scattered nomadic bands replaced by millions living in cities, and farming on nearly every continent. Wyman argues that the rise of states and steady food production wasn’t inevitable, but rather, the outcome of countless choices that reshaped the planet and made us who we are today.Combining cutting-edge science with gripping storytelling, Lost Worlds explores: <ul><li>A Sweeping New History of the Ancient World: Discover how early societies rose, adapted, and collapsed across thousands of years of human history.</li><li>The Archaeology Revolution: Ancient DNA, climate science, and new excavation methods are revealing how prehistoric people lived, migrated, and fought.</li><li>From Ice Age Hunters to Early Civilizations: Follow the dramatic transformation that led from nomadic foragers to farming, cities, and powerful states.</li><li>Why Societies Rise—and Fall: Learn how climate change, migration, population growth, and conflict shaped the fate of early civilizations.</li></ul>
