Book Synopsis Urban Sustainability through Smart Growth by : Yonn Dierwechter
Download or read book Urban Sustainability through Smart Growth written by Yonn Dierwechter and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-21 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the new urban geographies of “smart” metropolitan regionalism across the Greater Seattle area and examines the relationship between smart growth planning strategies and spaces of work, home, and mobility. The book specifically explores Seattle within the wider space-economy and multi-scaled policy regime of the Puget Sound region as a whole, ‘jumping up’ from questions of city politics to concerns with what the book interprets as the “intercurrence” of city-regional “ordering." These theoretical terms capture the state-progressive effort to promote smarter forms of regional development but also the societal/institutional tensions and outright contradictions that such urban development invariably entails, particularly around problems of social equity. Key organizing themes in the text include: the historical path-dependencies of uneven economic and social development, particularly between Tacoma-Pierce County and Seattle-King County; current patterns of high-wage, medium-wage, and low-wage jobs; the emerging spatial and social structure of recent residential changes, especially with respect to class and race composition; and, finally, transit trends and new urban spaces associated with policy efforts to mitigate highway congestion and car-dependency. Greater Seattle, then, is mapped as a key US urban region inscribed spatially by the uneven search for a more sustainable order. Historically-sensitive, theoretically-informed and empirically topical, this book is of interest to scholars and students at all levels in regional planning, urban geography, political science, sustainability studies, urban sociology and public policy.
Book Synopsis The Right Way to Flourish by : John Ehrenfeld
Download or read book The Right Way to Flourish written by John Ehrenfeld and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this ground-breaking book, pre-eminent thought leader in the fields of sustainability and flourishing, John R. Ehrenfeld, critiques the concept of sustainability as it is understood today and which is coming more and more under attack as unclear and ineffective as a call for action. Building upon the recent work of cognitive scientist, Iain McGilchrist, who argues that the human brain’s two hemispheres present distinct different worlds, this book articulates how society must replace the current foundational left-brain-based beliefs – a mechanistic world and a human driven by self interest – with new ones based on complexity and care. Flourishing should replace the lifeless metrics now being used to guide business and government, as well as individuals. Until we accept that our modern belief structure is, itself, the barrier, we will continue to be mired in an endless succession of unsolved problems.

Download or read book Consumer Voice written by S. Umit Kucuk and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes a new type of consumer called a voicing consumer, or a voicesumer. This type of consumer is shaping our markets and marketing interactions with the advent of social networking sites in the digital markets. Described by the author as "real establishment of market democracy," consumer voice is gaining more importance in today's world, especially with the changes in communication technologies in markets. In defining the equalizing and democratic relationship between ordinary consumers and corporations, or any other regular company, the book highlights recent transformative experiences and cases in consumption cultures and consumer behaviors. Current theory discusses new types of consumer complaint behaviors, such as consumer activism and boycott, but this book fills a void by defining how these changes have created a new type of consumer. This new conceptualization of consumer behavior will advance scholarship for consumer behavior, psychology and marketing researchers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gutenberg’s invention of movable type in the fifteenth century introduced an era of mass communication that permanently altered the structure of society. While publishing has been buffeted by persistent upheaval and transformation ever since, the current combination of technological developments, market pressures, and changing reading habits has led to an unprecedented paradigm shift in the world of books. Bringing together a wide range of perspectives—industry veterans and provocateurs, writers, editors, and digital mavericks—this invaluable collection reflects on the current situation of literary publishing, and provides a road map for the shifting geography of its future: How do editors and publishers adapt to this rapidly changing world? How are vibrant public communities in the Digital Age created and engaged? How can an industry traditionally dominated by white men become more diverse and inclusive? Mindful of the stakes of the ongoing transformation, Literary Publishing in the 21st Century goes beyond the usual discussion of 'print vs. digital' to uncover the complex, contradictory, and increasingly vibrant personalities that will define the future of the book.

Book excerpt: Write clearly about any subject: “Writers should check out Economical Writing, and editors should recommend it. Your future readers will be thankful.” —Journal of Scholarly Publishing Economics is not a field known for good writing. Charts, yes. Sparkling prose, no. Except, that is, when it comes to Deirdre Nansen McCloskey. Her conversational and witty yet always clear style is a hallmark of her classic works of economic history, enlivening the dismal science and engaging readers well beyond the discipline. And now she’s here to share the secrets of how it’s done, no matter what your field. Economical Writing is itself economical: a collection of thirty-five pithy rules for making your writing clear, concise, and effective. Proceeding from big-picture ideas to concrete strategies for improvement at the level of the paragraph, sentence, or word, McCloskey shows us that good writing, after all, is not just a matter of taste—it’s a product of adept intuition and a rigorous revision process. Debunking stale rules, warning us that “footnotes are nests for pedants,” and offering an arsenal of readily applicable tools and methods, she shows writers of all levels of experience how to rethink the way they approach their work, and gives them the knowledge to turn mediocre prose into magic. At once efficient and digestible, hilarious and provocative, Economical Writing lives up to its promise. With McCloskey as our guide, we discover how any piece of writing—on economics or any other subject—can be a pleasure to read.

Download or read book Flourish written by Rachel Talton and published by Difference Press. This book was released on 2016-01-17 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Flourish, award-winning CEO Dr. Rachel Talton takes women leaders on a powerful journey toward having it all without sacrificing their authentic selves. Compelling personal stories, rigorous research and experiential exercises help successful women stop hiding fear, guilt and overwhelm behind their Golden Masks, giving them a specific strategy to flourish. Redefining success with integrity to themselves with purpose, connection, contribution and legacy. Women leaders are often torn between seeking success, influence, impact and contribution in their organizations and the marketplace, and having a thriving family and personal life. They find that their desire to contribute professionally and personally often relegates a back seat to self-care, self-worth and wellbeing. In fact, the data show that many women who attain one or two of the traditional metrics of success find themselves sorely lacking in others, and often suffering in silence beneath a beautiful suit, great shoes, powerful title and the shiny, meticulously applied Golden Mask. Dr. Rachel builds upon years of executive experience, organizational and consumer research and expertise guiding Fortune 500 organizations and leaders to craft a powerfully practical guide to flourishing. She tells her own story and the stories of other women leaders who inspire as they turn sometimes tragic life events into triumphs. Through this book, Dr. Rachel takes readers on an experiential journey through the six dimensions of their lives to flourish - to grow luxuriantly and to prosper. As organizations desperately seek to reconcile stark data that reveal women in senior leadership provides a significant competitive advantage. For example, research shows that women leaders help companies outperform competitors by up to 26% in revenues, boards with three women have 66% higher ROI, 53% higher ROE and 42% higher ROS. However, only 4.6% of S&P 500 CEOs are women. Even knowing what we know today, women are still paid only 78 cents for every U.S. dollar men make. Women CEOs make about 11.5% less than their male counterparts. And at the current rate of progression, women won't reach pay equity with men until 2058. In Flourish, Dr. Rachel Talton helps women leaders peer beneath the Golden Mask to reveal their authentic selves and redefine the traditional metrics of success in order to flourish - leveraging the six currencies of purpose, joy, meaning, service, accomplishment and legacy. Leveraging scientific research in psychology, behavioral economics, and management theory, Dr. Rachel reveals the practical Flourish Model of Success while sharing inspiring stories of resilience, courage and transformation. Using a six-dimensional model of Success, Self-Care, Synergy, Spirit, Service and Legacy, Flourish helps women navigate, integrate and reshape their own futures, shattering old paradigms and creating their own sense of self-worth, self-value and contribution. Using interactive exercises to close the gap between their aspirations to flourish and the current state of wellbeing across each dimension, readers leave the Flourish experience with a dynamic path forward. By seamlessly integrating the six dimensions of flourishing and focusing on what matters most, women can flourish and have it all. And they can do so without losing themselves.

We have described the broader social context and challenges influencing the vision and mission
