    Software was supposed to radically improve society. Outdated mechanical systems would be easily replaced; social media platforms like Facebook would bring people together; and generative AI would solve the world’s greatest ills. Yet in practice, few of the systems we looked to with such high hopes have lived up to their fundamental mandate. In fact, in too many cases they've made things worse. How did we get to this point? 
     
     
     
    In Fatal Abstraction, Darryl Campbell explains that the problem is "managerial software": programs created and overseen not by engineers but by professional managers with only the most superficial knowledge of technology itself. 
     
     
     
    A former tech worker himself, Campbell shows how managerial software fails, and when it does what sorts of disastrous consequences ensue, from the Boeing 737 MAX crashes to a deadly self-driving car to PowerPoint propaganda, and beyond. Yet just because the tech industry is currently breaking its core promise does not mean the industry cannot change. Campbell argues that the solution is tech workers with actual expertise establishing industry-wide principles of ethics and safety that corporations would be forced to follow. Fatal Abstraction is a stirring rebuke of the tech industry's current managerial excesses, and also a hopeful glimpse of what a world shaped by good software can offer.

    The slow violence being inflicted on our environment—through everything from carbon emissions to plastic pollution—also represents an impending public health catastrophe. Yet standard health care practices are more concerned with short-term outcomes than long-term sustainability. Every resource used to deliver medical care, from IV tubes to antibiotics to electricity, has a significant environmental impact. This raises an urgent ethical dilemma: in striving to improve the health outcomes of individual patients, are we damaging human health on a global scale? 
     
     
      
    In Dying Green, award-winning educator Christine Vatovec offers an engaging study that asks us to consider the broader environmental sustainability of health care. Through a comparative analysis of the care provided to terminally ill patients in a conventional cancer ward, a palliative care unit, and an acute-care hospice facility, she shows how decisions made at a patient's bedside govern the environmental footprint of the healthcare industry. Likewise, Dying Green offers insights on the many opportunities that exist for reducing the ecological impacts of medical practices in general, while also enhancing care for the dying in particular. By envisioning a more sustainable approach to care, this book offers a way forward that is better for both patients and the planet.

    "The Analysis of Mind" by Bertrand Russell is a philosophical book that explores the nature of the mind and consciousness. In this work, Russell argues that mental phenomena can be analyzed and understood through the principles of logic and mathematics. He posits that the mind can be divided into two categories: the "conscious mind" and the "unconscious mind". The conscious mind is the part of the mind that we are aware of, while the unconscious mind is the part that we are not aware of but which still influences our behavior. Read in English, unabridged.

    Reduce energy costs and combat climate change with ISO 50001
    ISO 50001:2018, the international standard for energy management, provides a framework for organisations – both large and small – to manage and reduce their energy usage and associated costs. Implementing an effective EnMS (energy management system) that complies with ISO 50001 ensures that an organisation can:
    
    - Meet legal and contractual energy compliance requirements;
    - Save money by managing energy more efficiently;
    - Reduce its carbon footprint;
    - Increase energy security; and
    - Demonstrate a commitment to improved energy performance.With energy security concerns rising and climate change an existential threat, consumers are increasingly aware of sustainability issues.
    ISO 50001 – A strategic guide to establishing an energy management system provides a practical but strategic overview for leadership teams of what an EnMS is and how implementing one can bring added value to an organisation. It:
    
    - Explains how ISO 50001:2018 (which is based on ISO's Annex SL) differs from the previous version of the Standard;
    - Provides readers with a greater understanding of what energy management is and how taking a risk-based approach can save money and improve brand reputation; and
    - Covers how ISO 50001 can be implemented and how the EnMS can be integrated with other management systems, such as an ISO 14001 EMS (environmental management system).Your strategic guide to energy management and ISO 50001 – buy this book today!
