Beschreibung

Deep-Sea Mining Impact explores the emerging industry of deep-sea mining and its profound effects on both the environment and the economy. It addresses the critical question: At what cost do we exploit the untapped mineral wealth of the deep ocean?

 
The book delves into the potential ecological damage to fragile deep-sea ecosystems, highlighting how sediment plumes from mining operations could devastate marine habitats, and analyzes the economic trade-offs between resource extraction and long-term sustainability. A key focus is the inadequacy of current regulatory frameworks, particularly concerning the International Seabed Authority, to protect these vulnerable environments.

 
The book traces the evolution of deep-sea exploration, from early scientific expeditions to the modern-day rush for resources like cobalt, nickel, and copper, driven by renewable energy demands. It argues for a more precautionary approach, emphasizing robust scientific data and stakeholder engagement.

 
Beginning with an overview of deep-sea mining technologies, the book progresses through detailed analyses of environmental impacts, economic considerations, and the existing legal landscape, concluding with recommendations for improved environmental standards and transparency.

 
This makes the book uniquely valuable for policymakers, industry professionals, and environmental advocates seeking a comprehensive understanding of this complex issue.

Leading Exponential Change

Erich R. Bühler

Leading Exponential Change (Second Edition) unveils the secrets of enterprise Agility.The way companies manage change has undergone dramatic shifts, and organizations have tried to adapt to relentless market innovations by using artificial intelligence, Big Data, the Scrum Framework, increasingly connected people, and new mind-sets such as Agile or Lean. But all these approaches have only established disruptive change as a new, relentless reality. In Leading Exponential Change, world-renowned consultant Erich R. Bühler shares the secrets that differentiate truly remarkable companies from those that fail to adapt to today’s constantly changing market conditions. During his years on the front lines, the author recognized that no two companies were the same - and that what worked in one enterprise might not work in another. He studied a wide range of organizations to determine the specific behaviors and mind-sets needed to embrace change.One thing became clear: Human beings are not physiologically prepared for constant alterations in processes, roles, and ways of working. Realizing that a new approach was needed, Bühler developed a set of revolutionary principles and techniques to create responsive people and organizations that challenged traditional thinking (and many Agile concepts). Drawing on his experience as an international change consultant, the author takes you deep into why companies struggle to adapt even when they have the right people. He also analyzes the reasons some consultants face endless obstacles and resistance to change while others succeed. This ground-breaking book offers new foundations to help company leaders, managers, Agile consultants, HR representatives, mentors, and scrum masters become skilled at helping others to influence change.

An Overview of the Book
We already see the impact of emerging technologies on our lives and the economy in many different ways, particularly when it comes to the way we live our lives and the way we work. Due to this, there is fierce competition among companies across the globe in order to ensure that they are able to benefit from the new technological developments. Globally, the United States and Asia are emerging as the two global leaders in this area. Over the years, there has been a significant change in the landscape of emerging technologies since Alan Turing first asked in the 1950s if machines could think like humans. Emerging technologies will enhance economic growth and efficiency in the future. It is possible to greatly improve decision-making when large amounts of data are analysed by improving efficiency. It is likely that new products and services, new markets, and new industries will be created as a result, which will in turn boost consumer demand and generate new revenue streams. On the other hand, emerging technologies may also have a profound effect on society and the economy.

Patriarchy Inc - What We Get...

Cordelia Fine

Work remains much as it always has: men occupy the vast majority of leadership roles and are overrepresented in positions from engineer to plumber. We see many jobs as "male" or "female," with women dominating in healthcare and childcare professions. Pretending that this is the natural state of things―or that, instead, both sexes should submit to working 24/7—is just not right. 
 
 
 
In Patriarchy Inc., Cordelia Fine examines with razor-sharp and quick-witted analysis why gender inequality is embedded in the workplace and why it has to change. Drawing on theories from evolutionary science, psychology, economics, and sociology, she examines two of the most prominent movements in the corporate world. The Different But Equal viewpoint espouses that women are in the jobs they want despite their lower status and salaries. In the meantime, DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) has become a slogan that emphasizes productivity and profit, not fair play. Fine shows how both are wrong and the bad effects on everyone when men are still stuck in traditional breadwinner roles and women are having to fight for their due. 
 
 
 
Offering perceptive and much-needed insight into the current state of work, Patriarchy Inc. explores how we can get closer to achieving equality, even if it means upturning business as usual.
