Are you tired of failing to finish what you start? Intentional, from productivity expert Chris Bailey, is the motivational guide you need. 'A powerful guide to turning ambition into action' - Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit and Supercommunicators Most of us have no problem setting goals. We know what we want, and we have a pretty good sense of what it takes to get it. But consistently making progress until we've reached that goal is the hard part. In Intentional, Chris Bailey, bestselling author of Hyperfocus, presents a new and better way to accomplish your goals. It turns out, the secret to finishing what you start isn't willpower or the latest productivity hack - it's intentionality. Your deepest intentions are your greatest motivating force. By structuring your goals around the things that matter most to you, whether that's feeling secure in your job, having autonomy over your decisions or being in a community, getting things done becomes second nature. Drawing from the latest productivity research and packed full of practical strategies, Intentional will show you how to:<ul><li>Structure goals to increase the likelihood of completion</li><li>Make unappealing, boring or frustrating tasks more attractive to do</li><li>Lower the chance of procrastinating</li><li>Create a system for tracking progress</li><li>Know when a goal isn't for you - and when it's time to let it go.</li></ul> With Chris Bailey as your guide, finishing what you start is more possible than you think. 'An important new contribution to the genre!' - Cal Newport, New York Times bestselling author of Slow Productivity and Deep Work 'The most productive man you'd ever hope to meet' - TED

Kompakt Edition: Transport

<div>Learn how the world’s most memorable brands find the words that make them impossible to ignore. Visual identity has its canon. Logos, typefaces, color systems, and design principles have filled bookshelves for decades. But behind every successful brand is another system that shapes perception, builds trust, and creates emotional connection: language. In How Brands Find Their Voice, brand writer and Brand Impact Awards founder Nick Carson gives verbal identity the visual design-book treatment it has long deserved. With a foreword by John Simmons—the acclaimed writer who coined the term “verbal identity”—and built on unprecedented access to leading branding agencies and in-house creative teams, this richly illustrated volume reveals how brand language is developed, expressed, and sustained across every touchpoint. Through in-depth case studies spanning hospitality, technology, consumer goods, and nonprofits, from global institutions to challenger brands, Carson explores how language becomes part of a brand’s DNA. Readers meet the people who do the work and discover how verbal identity emerges from collaboration, research, and craft. Inside, you’ll discover: <ul><li>The evolution of brand voice from advertising copy to modern verbal identity</li><li>How leading agencies develop language systems alongside visual identity</li><li>The strategic thinking behind memorable brand voices</li><li>Different approaches to tone, personality, storytelling, and communication</li><li>How organizations embed verbal identity across teams and touchpoints</li><li>What separates effective brand guidelines from documents that are never used</li><li>The opportunities and challenges that AI presents for brand language</li></ul> Featuring brands such as Ben &amp; Jerry’s, Mailchimp, Virgin, Liquid Death, Innocent, Oatly, and many others—and world-renowned agencies including COLLINS, Wolff Olins, and JKR—the book demonstrates that successful verbal identity is not about clever taglines or isolated campaigns. It’s about creating a coherent language system that shapes every interaction people have with a brand. Filled with photography, packaging, digital experiences, environmental graphics, annotated guidelines, and expert commentary,&nbsp;How Brands Find Their Voice presents language in context, where words and visuals work together to create meaning. For brand strategists, designers, copywriters, marketers, students, and business leaders, this book offers both inspiration and practical insight into one of branding’s most important—and least understood—disciplines.</div>

Why Brands Should Watch Their Language

How Brands Find Their Voice

Big-company systems, small-business budget.AI and automation have just put the kind of systems that once needed a corporate budget within reach of a five-person firm.

International Series in Operations Research & Management Science

This book shows how to weld deep learning to the laws that govern heavy-industry assets. Instead of treating sensor readings as detached numbers, the book teaches models to obey conservation of energy, fluid flow, and material stress. The storyline follows three recurring settings—a regional power grid, an offshore drilling head, and a 2000-hectare almond farm—to prove the concept across energy, manufacturing, and agriculture.Readers watch plain neural nets stumble when they predict outputs that break physics, then see PENN correct the error with loss penalties and custom layers that bake in the Navier-Stokes, Hooke, and Fourier equations. In benchmark tests the approach lifts predictive accuracy by up to 30 percent while trimming training energy by two-thirds. Case walk-throughs document a 25 percent cut in turbine downtime, a 50 percent reduction in drilling vibration peaks, and a 15 percent saving in irrigation power.Special features include code snippets ready to paste into PyTorch, side-by-side plots that compare raw and physics-aware outputs, and full-color schematics that trace data from sensor to dashboard. Each chapter ends with a one-page readiness checklist so teams can turn lessons into pilots without stalling in proof-of-concept limbo. A consistent American spelling palette avoids cross-Atlantic edits.By the final page a plant manager, data scientist, or graduate student can design, train, and deploy a model that predicts real-world behavior without ignoring the rules of nature. The payoff is lower energy bills, fewer unplanned shutdowns, and a faster path to net-zero targets—results that speak to both profit and sustainability.&nbsp;

The Next Frontier of Artificial Intelligence

Physics-Informed Neural Networks for Industrial Applications

This book was written for new, existing, and aspiring plant managers as a practical guideline for understanding what it means to run a manufacturing operation. It clarifies the plant manager's role as the central coordinator of people, processes, equipment, and resources, helping readers grasp how these elements interact to create a safe, efficient, and profitable environment. For someone stepping into the role for the first time, this foundation reduces uncertainty and builds confidence by translating complex responsibilities into clear, manageable concepts.Beyond the basics, the book guides readers through the daily realities of plant leadership. It explains how to manage production flow, maintain equipment reliability, uphold quality standards, and ensure workplace safety, all while balancing cost, deadlines, and customer expectations. Existing plant managers benefit from structured frameworks and best practices that help them refine their approach, identify inefficiencies, and strengthen operational discipline. The goal is to elevate performance, not just maintain it.For aspiring plant managers, the book acts as a career development tool. It highlights the skills, behaviors, and leadership qualities that distinguish effective managers, such as communication, decision-making, problem-solving, and the ability to motivate diverse teams. By illustrating real-world scenarios and common challenges, it prepares future leaders for the pressures and responsibilities they will eventually face, giving them a head start on building the mindset required for success.Finally, the book ties all these elements together by emphasizing continuous improvement and strategic thinking. Manufacturing plants operate in a world of constant change, new technologies, shifting customer demands, and evolving workforce expectations. The book encourages readers to adopt a forward-looking perspective, showing how strong plant managers not only solve today's problems but also anticipate tomorrow's opportunities. In doing so, it becomes a long-term companion for anyone committed to running a plant that is resilient, competitive, and ready for the future.
