Sinopse

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.

This Is What Inequality Looks Like

Teo You Yenn

NATIONAL BESTSELLER 
 
 
This New Edition of This Is What Inequality Looks Like by Teo You Yenn features a new Afterword by the author, and a Foreword by Kwok Kian Woon, Professor of Sociology at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. 
 
What is poverty? What is inequality? How are they connected? How are they reproduced? How might they be overcome? Why should we try? 
 
The way we frame our questions shapes the way we see solutions. This book does what appears to be a no-brainer task, but one that is missing and important: it asks readers to pose questions in different ways, to shift the vantage point from which they view ‘common sense,’ and in so doing, to see themselves as part of problems and potential solutions. This is a book about how seeing poverty entails confronting inequality. It is about how acknowledging poverty and inequality leads to uncomfortable revelations about our society and ourselves. And it is about how once we see, we cannot, must not, unsee.

Reclaiming Art in the Age of...

J.F. Martel, Donna Tartt

A compelling call to rediscover the transformative power of art in an age of distraction, coercion, and spectacle – featuring an introduction from Pulitzer Prize–winning author Donna Tartt In Reclaiming Art in the Age of Artifice, J. F. Martel offers a compelling and incisive meditation on the nature of art in a world dominated by invasive media, rampant consumer culture, and artificial intelligence. Drawing on a wide range of examples, from Paleolithic cave art to contemporary cinema, Martel argues that true art reveals the unseen forces shaping our existence—forces that transcend politics, technology, and even culture. In contrast to artifice, which seeks to manipulate or distract, authentic art calls us back to the essence of things, opening “rifts” onto the sublime and the weird and reconnecting us with the radical mystery at the heart of the world.    Featuring an introduction by Pulitzer Prize–winning author Donna Tartt, this edition also includes a new afterword by the author, reflecting on the continued relevance of art in our increasingly mediated world.
