Sinossi

Toxic Workspaces explores the crucial link between office environments and employee health, revealing how seemingly harmless aspects of the workplace can negatively impact well-being and productivity. The book argues that many modern offices, despite ergonomic advancements, may unknowingly contribute to illness. For instance, it examines how inadequate lighting systems can disrupt circadian rhythms, leading to eye strain and headaches, and how toxic materials, such as VOCs emitted from furniture, can compromise indoor air quality.

The book delves into three critical areas: office design, lighting, and toxic materials. It begins by establishing the connection between environmental health and workplace well-being, then progresses to analyze how office layouts and furniture choices impact posture and movement. It further investigates the effects of artificial versus natural light and explores common office toxins. By combining scientific research with practical advice, Toxic Workspaces offers a comprehensive guide for business management and HR professionals to create healthier, more productive workspaces.

The approach of Toxic Workspaces uniquely blends scientific rigor with practical solutions, making complex concepts accessible. The book presents evidence-based strategies drawn from studies and case examples, concluding with actionable steps to improve workplace health and employee wellness. This makes it a valuable resource for anyone looking to mitigate health hazards and promote a healthier office environment.

It's Mine - How Crypto Is...

Steven Boykey Sidley

‘Crypto’, a loose term that means many things to different people, only entered the public consciousness within the last five years or so, now evident by the volume of public discussion, commentary and analysis spread across every conceivable media outlet. Cryptography has been around for millennia, but Bitcoin only arose in 2009, and it was the spark that has taken crypto from a small group of enthusiasts into a many-tentacled creature, now attaching itself to an astonishing number of projects across all manner of applications, challenging both public and private power centres and long-established norms as it spreads. Starting with the emergence of cryptocurrencies, a whole new host of life-forms have emerged – NFTs, the metaverse, Defi, Web3 and DAOs – all of them changing the very notion of ownership. 
It’s Mine digs into the history and concept of ‘ownership’, which ecosystems nurture it, and where we are now. Filled with anecdotes, observations and interviews, the book takes an entertaining and accessible look at how Bitcoin made its mark, how its technology is being re-purposed to enable a revolution, and (in non-technical terms) how it all works. It explores how these new crypto ‘life-forms’ will interact with the rest of the virtual and physical world, while making some very rich and some very poor. 
 
'Future historians may well look back on "It's Mine" and wonder at such a heuristic prescience gilded with clarity, style, and grace' Josh Rosenthal, US historian, podcaster, public intellectual, educator, serial entrepreneur 
 
'Sidley explains clearly and persuasively how our rights and identities are being changed and challenged by technologies of our own making' Bronwyn Williams, futurist, economist partner at Flux Trends and Metanomic and author of The Future Starts Now

Blood and Treasure - The...

Duncan Weldon

Wars are expensive, both in human terms and monetary ones. But while warfare might be costly it has also, at times, been an important driver of economic change and progress. Over the long span of history nothing has shaped human institutions—and thus the process of economic development—as much as war and violence. Wars made states and states made wars. As the costs of warfighting grew so did state structures, taxation systems and national markets for debt. And as warfare became ever more destructive the incentive for governments to resort to it changed too. 
 
Blood and Treasure looks at the history and economics of warfare from the Viking Age to the war in Ukraine, examining how incentives and institutions have changed over the centuries. It surveys how warfare helped drive Europe's rise to global prominence, and it explains how the total wars of the twentieth century required a new type of strategy, one that took economics seriously. 
 
Underpinning this riveting narrative is a focus on how and why the economics of conflict have changed over time. This is a story of how economics can help to explain the motivations of war, and how understanding the history of warfare can help explain modern economics.

Predictably Irrational - The...

Dr. Dan Ariely

The groundbreaking bestseller from iconic behavioral psychologist Dan Ariely, now the inspiration for the Fall 2023 NBC show The Irrational
“A marvelous book that is both thought provoking and highly entertaining, ranging from the power of placebos to the pleasures of Pepsi. Ariely unmasks the subtle but powerful tricks that our minds play on us, and shows us how we can prevent being fooled.” — Jerome Groopman, New York Times bestselling author of How Doctors Think
“Ariely is a genius at understanding human behavior: no economist does a better job of uncovering and explaining the hidden reasons for the weird ways we act, in the marketplace and out. Predictably Irrational will reshape the way you see the world, and yourself, for good.” — James Surowiecki, author of The Wisdom of Crowds
Why do our headaches persist after we take a one-cent aspirin but disappear when we take a fifty-cent aspirin? Why do we splurge on a lavish meal but cut coupons to save twenty-five cents on a can of soup?
When it comes to making decisions in our lives, we think we're making smart, rational choices. But are we? In this revised and expanded edition of the groundbreaking New York Times bestseller, Dan Ariely refutes the common assumption that we behave in fundamentally rational ways. From drinking coffee to losing weight, from buying a car to choosing a romantic partner, we consistently overpay, underestimate, and procrastinate. Yet these misguided behaviors are neither random nor senseless. They're systematic and predictable—making us predictably irrational.
