Summary

The Tyranny of Merit: What's Become of the Common Good? by Michael J. Sandel: Conversation Starters

The Tyranny of Merit is Sandel's latest work where he directs us to an unusual yet optimistic political perspective aimed to achieve more positive governance for the common good. Sandel aspires for a new political system geared towards a more hopeful society. He reveals that in moving forward and overcoming the barriers capsizing our times, we must modify our views on what it means to succeed and what failure entails. Sandel suggests a shift in our paradigms of thinking. In the conquest for a re-engineered politics and economy, he offers alternative actions with great emphasis on the virtue of humility, the function of luck, and the paramount importance of the dignity of work.

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"The Golden Compass" by Philip Pullman is a fantasy novel set in a world similar to ours, where people have dæmons, which are animal manifestations of their souls. The story follows Lyra, a young orphan, as she gets caught up in a dangerous game involving missing children and a mysterious substance called Dust. Lyra's adventures take her from Oxford to the Arctic, as she confronts powerful forces such as the Magisterium and the Oblation Board. She allies herself with gyptians, witches, and armored bears on her quest to understand the nature of Dust and to rescue the kidnapped children. The story explores themes of science, theology, and magic, and also includes elements of betrayal, love, and loyalty as Lyra discovers her own destiny.

    Building Inclusion: A Practical Guide to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in Architecture and the Built Environment is just that—a manual to support and provide essential guidance to the profession on these key issues. Acknowledging that the existence of EDI procedures does not necessarily ensure their use, it focuses on demonstrating behaviors that help create, implement, and enforce policies, procedures, and practices to deliver inclusion. 
 
 
 
Written by Marsha Ramroop, former inaugural EDI director at the RIBA and award-winning EDI strategist, the book targets the pain points of talent attraction and retention, public sector procurement, community engagement, and inclusive design. It utilizes case studies from organizations across the sector and the world with successful EDI practices, as well as testimonials of lived experiences of discrimination which provide important insight to the listener. The book takes an intersectional approach, considering not just the separate identities of race, ethnicity, nationality, age, gender and sexual identity, disability, neurodiversity, and class but the overlap of these. 
 
 
 
Clearly written and accessible, with key points at the end of each chapter, this book is essential for those in the profession seeking to implement EDI practices in their work and workplace.

    The nation’s best-loved vet looks back at the funniest, most absurd or heart-breaking animal encounters and situations he has been in over his long and highly successful career. 
"My mentor and former boss Alf Wight said that the life of a vet is never dull and how true he was. It is funny looking back that he found fame through his James Herriot books, and now his former surgery and myself have been taken to the nation’s heart once again through our show The Yorkshire Vet. 
"It just shows what a nation of animal lovers we are and these past few years have been particularly challenging for all of us with the Coronavirus outbreak. But what it has shown me is the comfort and support our pets give us in times like these. All the same, it was this, along with recent changes to my working life that gave me an opportunity to reflect, so I want to look back at some of my favourite cases and share them with you."
