Sinossi

Creative Workspaces explores how thoughtful office design influences employee productivity and well-being, arguing that strategic workspace design is a critical business tool, not just an aesthetic choice. It delves into aspects like ergonomics, lighting, and acoustics, showcasing how they impact cognitive function and social interaction. Interestingly, a well-designed workspace can foster collaboration and inspire creativity, while a poorly designed one can decrease morale.

 
The book presents core design principles and examines flexible work models like activity-based working and co-working spaces, analyzing their benefits and drawbacks. It also explores the efficacy of open-plan offices, acknowledging that while they may increase collaboration, they also have downsides like noise and lack of privacy.

 
Case studies of leading companies illustrate how innovative workspace designs have achieved tangible business outcomes. This book uniquely emphasizes a data-driven approach to workspace design, moving beyond anecdotal evidence to advocate for evidence-based strategies. It progresses by first establishing design principles, then exploring flexible work models, and finally presenting real-world case studies to demonstrate the impact of thoughtful workspace design.

Season of the Witch - The Book...

Cathi Unsworth

Not Just Music─The Enduring Legacy of GothDive deep into the tumultuous era of Margaret Thatcher’s 1980s England and the profound impact of goth on a generation of alienated youthsGoth's emergence defied a political era. As Margaret Thatcher's iron grip tightened around Britain, catalyzed by events like the miners' strikes and the rise of privatization, an unexpected counter-culture began to take root. Bands like Siouxsie and the Banshees and Joy Division, offspring of punk's raw energy, found a way to articulate the disillusionment of the times. Through their evocative sounds and iconography, they ushered in a musical movement that mirrored the societal shifts.Politics and music find an unusual nexus. The story of goth isn't merely a tale of alienated youths or atmospheric tunes. It’s a narrative deeply intertwined with the Yorkshire Ripper's horrors, Sid Vicious's tragedy, and the societal upheavals heralded by Margaret Thatcher, the Iron Lady. Author Cathi Unsworth paints a vivid tapestry, demonstrating how goth became more than just music—it became a reflection of an era's ethos and spirit.Inside, you'll discover:Deep Political Resonance: How goth's dark melodies interlaced with the Thatcher era, the miners' strikes, and privatization.Goth's Global Footprint: The journey from punk's downfall, marked by Sid Vicious, to the international acclaim of bands like Siouxsie and the Banshees.Enduring Cultural Impact: An examination of goth's lasting legacy amidst alienated youths and Britain's counter-culture movement.Historical Synchronicity: The parallel narrative of the Yorkshire Ripper's reign and goth's rise during Britain's most tumultuous times.If you have read books like The Art of Darkness, Faith Hope and Carnage, Into the Void, or Goth by Lol Tolhurst, you’ll love Season of the Witch.

The Lost Art of Perfume

Septimus Piesse

“He who ruled scent ruled the hearts of men.”
Patrick Süskind, Perfume.

The manufacturing secrets of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, the hero of Süskind’s novel, have been forgotten. Or nearly forgotten. Master perfumer Septimus Piesse (1820-1882) was one of the last to learn about musical alchemy and the intimate history of fragrances: “There is, so to speak, an octave of odors, like an octave of notes; certain perfumes blend together like the sounds of an instrument.”
We present here the essentials of this 1857 classic, which also traces the history of perfumes among the Romans, Chinese and Egyptians. The Afterword includes a short treatise on the political role of flowers.

Hairspray - A Screenplay

John Waters

A feel-good fable and an enduring critique of conformity told with true John Waters flair. Listen as Waters himself acts out each role!Tracy Turnblad, a spunky, full-figured Baltimore teen, wants nothing more than to be a featured dancer on The Corny Collins Show. So when she gets chosen to be on the air, it seems like all her dreams are about to come true. But when she and some of the Black cast of the show try to integrate the segregated dancing, things take on a life of their own. A sweet, hopeful parable about the dangers of conformity and segregation, Hairspray is perhaps the one optimistic entry in John Waters’s shocking and delightfully deranged oeuvre. Both a clear-eyed social critique and a celebration of the dizzying aesthetics of Baltimore in the early 1960s, this is another, softer side to the essential John Waters.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
