  A GLOBE & MAIL BEST BUSINESS BOOK OF 2021The COVID-19 pandemic forced an unprecedented experiment that reshaped white-collar work and turned remote work into a kind of "new normal." Now comes the hard part.Many employees want to continue that normal and keep working remotely, and most at least want the ability to work occasionally from home. But for employers, the benefits of employees working from home or hybrid approaches are not so obvious. What should both groups do?In a prescient new book, The Future of the Office: Work from Home, Remote Work, and the Hard Choices We All Face, Wharton professor Peter Cappelli lays out the facts in an effort to provide both employees and employers with a vision of their futures. Cappelli unveils the surprising tradeoffs both may have to accept to get what they want.Cappelli illustrates the challenges we face by in drawing lessons from the pandemic and deciding what to do moving forward. Do we allow some workers to be permanently remote? Do we let others choose when to work from home? Do we get rid of their offices? What else has to change, depending on the approach we choose?His research reveals there is no consensus among business leaders. Even the most high-profile and forward-thinking companies are taking divergent approaches: Facebook, Twitter, and other tech companies say many employees can work remotely on a permanent basis.Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and others say it is important for everyone to come back to the office.Ford is redoing its office space so that most employees can work from home at least part of the time, andGM is planning to let local managers work out arrangements on an ad-hoc basis.As Cappelli examines, earlier research on other types of remote work, including telecommuting offers some guidance as to what to expect when some people will be in the office and others work at home, and also what happened when employers tried to take back offices. Neither worked as expected.In a call to action for both employers and employees, Cappelli explores how we should think about the choices going forward as well as who wins and who loses. As he implores, we have to choose soon.

  Urban Culture - The Role of Arts...

  Urban culture refers to the distinct set of social behaviors, art forms, lifestyles, and media influences that develop within city environments. It emerges as a dynamic fusion of tradition, innovation, and diversity, shaped by the unique social and economic forces that define urban living. Cities have long been sites of cultural evolution, where people from various backgrounds converge, bringing with them unique customs, beliefs, and practices that blend to form new cultural expressions. 
  The heart of urban culture lies in its capacity to adapt and transform in response to the ever-changing landscape of the city. From the rise of art movements to the proliferation of new media technologies, cities have always been incubators for creative thought and social change. They act as cultural magnets, attracting artists, musicians, performers, and intellectuals who seek the opportunities and inspiration that urban environments provide. In this sense, urban culture is a reflection of the collective experiences, struggles, and aspirations of city dwellers. 
  What sets urban culture apart from other forms of cultural expression is its diversity. Urban centers are often melting pots, where people from different racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds coexist. This diversity fosters a climate of cultural exchange and experimentation, leading to the development of new art forms, music genres, fashion trends, and social movements. Whether through street art, hip-hop, or the global influence of city-based fashion, urban culture is a driving force in shaping modern society.

  Owning the Sun - A People's...

  Owning the Sun tells the story of one of the most contentious fights in human history: the legal right to control the production of lifesaving medicines. Medical science began as a discipline geared toward the betterment of all human life, but the merging of research with intellectual property and the rise of the pharmaceutical industry warped and eventually undermined its ethical foundations. Why does the US government fund the development of medical science in the name of the public, only to relinquish exclusive rights to drug companies, and how does such a system impoverish us, weaken our responses to global crises, and, as in the case of AIDS and COVID-19, put the world at risk? 
   
   
    
  Outlining how generations of public health and science advocates have attempted to hold the line against Big Pharma and their allies in government, Alexander Zaitchik's first-in-kind history documents the rise of medical monopoly in the United States and its subsequent globalization. From the controversial arrival of patent-wielding German drug firms in the late nineteenth century, to present-day coordination between industry and philanthropic organizations—including the influential Gates Foundation—that stymie international efforts to vaccinate the world against COVID-19, Owning the Sun tells one of the most important and least understood histories of our time.
