Synopsis

Arctic Tech Failure examines the critical intersection of technology and human survival in extreme cold environments, focusing on the consequences when essential tools and systems break down. By blending historical analysis with scientific investigation, the book explores how polar explorers have adapted to the loss of vital technologies. A key insight is that over-reliance on technology can create vulnerabilities, demonstrating that while technology boosts exploration, fundamental survival skills remain crucial. The book delves into historical expeditions, highlighting instances where equipment failure led to life-threatening situations, and contrasts these with contemporary scientific understanding of human adaptation to technology-deprived environments. Readers will discover how the loss of communication or navigation tools drastically altered survival chances. It also addresses the physiological and psychological effects of technology loss, referencing scientific studies on cold exposure and stress. Beginning with the concept of "technological dependence," the book progresses through historical cases, analyzes the effects of technology loss, and offers practical recommendations for future endeavors. The book challenges the increasing dependence on sophisticated technology in polar regions and advocates for a balanced approach that prioritizes fundamental survival skills and a deep understanding of the environment, making it valuable for polar researchers, historians, and anyone interested in human resilience in extreme conditions.

    Did you know that diversity is one of the best tools for leadership development? 
    It blocks bias so managers and leaders can make better decisions. 
    This book presents a program for mental leadership fitness. The workout consists of concrete tools in areas such as digital management, behavioral management, inclusive management, and emotional intelligence. It’s not a quick fix, but an ongoing process that works, just like any other exercise program. 
    The author demonstrates what it takes for diversity to promote better arguments, and innovative thinking. This means that diversity ensures better decision making because we are constantly reminded to consider alternatives. That is essential for creating successful results. The approach also provides psychological safety in the workplace and an experience of inclusion, which is the most important common denominator for being able to create a good working environment and avoid culture backlash. 
    Each chapter contains at least one business case that outlines a relevant issue. It provides insight into how managers and leaders minimize unconscious bias by inviting diversity into organizations and allowing it to unfold both humanly and technologically. 
    New perspectives on power in relationships are also included, which have a decisive influence on the possibilities of reducing bias.Written for leaders and managers, BIAS-CONSCIOUS LEADERSHIP is relevant for everyone with management and leadership responsibilities in private and public organizations. It is also useful for supervisors, HR people, lecturers, students, and consultants. This audiobook includes a downloadable pdf with figures from the book: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13Q9bMhNw9ERogRODUWOnER8zdEL3mt15/view?usp=share_link

    The Scholé Way: rediscover the art of leisurely learning – over 4 hours of contemplation, wonder, and intellectual delight! 
     
    The ancient Greek word scholé means leisurely learning or set-apart, undistracted time to study the things most worthwhile, often with one’s friends. Ironically, scholé is also the root word for our English word “school.” 
     
    While much of modern education has become increasingly frenetic and stressful, the tradition of scholé offers another way—the scholé way, which is a harmony of active and restful learning, of academic work and academic leisure. 
     
    The classical tradition of education is oriented toward the full formation of a human soul rather than merely practical training for a job. This time-honored understanding of education provides space and occasion for wonder, contemplation, and conversation. Instead of merely covering material, it privileges pondering, savoring, lingering, and relishing as genuine student activity.

    A classic memoir from the Battle of the Atlantic 
    Donald Macintyre’s U-Boat Killer is a unique account of the Battle of the Atlantic from the perspective of a British destroyer captain who fought through this brutal campaign. Few other books transport the reader to the deck of a convoy escort in the cold, stormy seas of the Atlantic Ocean and bring to life the terrifying conflict between the Royal Navy and the U-boats. 
    Over the course of four unrelenting years, Captain Macintyre escaped the clutches of the German “wolf packs” and brought dozens of convoys to safety. Credited with destroying seven U-boats, Macintyre was a calculated master of combating his underwater foes and, during one savage night, captured Germany’s greatest U-boat commander, Otto Kretschmer, and sank another famous ace. 
    His memoir, U-Boat Killer, charts the course of the Atlantic war and explores how both Allied and Axis strategies developed until the convoys were able to turn the tide of the war in 1943. 
    This book should be essential listening for all fascinated by the longest campaign of World War II and for those who wish to learn more about the lives of the men who kept the war against the Nazis going even through the Allies’ darkest moments.
