Sinopse

Weirdest Scientific Experiments explores the complex intersection of scientific advancement and ethical boundaries, delving into controversial studies that have shaped our understanding of human behavior and the responsibilities of scientific research. The book examines how historical events and landmark experiments have influenced ethical guidelines, showcasing instances where the pursuit of knowledge clashed with moral considerations. Readers will discover how experiments like the Milgram experiment and the Stanford prison experiment challenged our understanding of conformity, obedience, and the power of situational factors, raising profound questions about the cost of scientific progress.

 
The book adopts an accessible approach, explaining complex concepts in plain language while providing historical context and detailed analyses of each experiment's methodology, results, and ethical implications. It is structured to guide readers through foundational concepts, specific case studies, and the lasting impact of these experiments on scientific policy and public perception.

 
By analyzing past missteps and ethically questionable scientific endeavors, the book emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and ethical awareness in present-day research practices. Ultimately, Weirdest Scientific Experiments aims to inform and encourage responsible conduct in science, promoting a deeper understanding of the relationship between scientific inquiry and human values. It offers valuable lessons for researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in navigating the complex ethical dilemmas inherent in scientific research, drawing from psychology, sociology, and history to provide a comprehensive perspective.

    ‘We will not achieve net zero in the cafes, dinner parties and wine bars of our inner cities.’ Little infuriated the forgotten people of the twenty-first century—women and younger voters, especially—more than Scott Morrison’s deluge of disparagement on the issues that mattered to them. The May 2022 election marked the great re-engagement of those ignored and patronised for too long on climate, integrity and gender equity.The electoral map has been dramatically redrawn. However, the triumph of the ‘teals’ was not entirely unexpected to those assisting their rise, such as Climate 200 founder Simon Holmes à Court. As Australia entered its lost decade on climate action, he observed that conventional advocacy had become a case of diminishing returns, and that Cathy McGowan’s election as a community independent in 2013 provided a template for direct political engagement. The result was Climate 200, a crowdfunded outfit intended to provide the money and expertise to better match the major parties and turbocharge the grassroots movement emerging in thirty-plus electorates.Despite a relentless and increasingly shrill campaign of vilification aimed at Holmes à Court and the candidates by the Liberals, assisted by their media mates, we saw the election of six new community independent MPs and one senator. It was a victory of facts over fear, priorities over prejudice. It was a blow to the unfit-for-purpose ‘majoritariat’, a rejection of the false binary choice between parties that no longer reflect the hopes and complexity of modern democratic Australia.This is the story of how a team of inspired young tech-heads and older sages used their real and virtual-world experience to help a cluster of communities get the representation they wanted.

    WINNER OF THE TATA LITERATURE LIVE FIRST BOOK AWARD (NON-FICTION) 2021 
     
    Maharashtra, India's richest state by GDP, has its eyes set on becoming the country's first trillion-dollar economy by 2025. At the same time, Marathwada -- a historically backward part of the state adjoining the distressed Vidarbha region -- has seen a surge in farmer suicides. 
    At the heart of the crisis is a cyclical drought that has persisted for almost a decade. Relief packages and loan waivers have not reversed the trend. On the contrary, the stories of dystopia grow more tragic every year as thousands of farmer families flee to the big cities, while those who stay back are plagued by bad credit and crop loss. 
    Landscapes of Loss tells the story of Marathwada through the accounts of its people: marginal farmers, Dalits, landless labourers, farm widows and children. It lays bare the complex factors that have brought the region to this pass -- a story representative, in many ways, of the agrarian unrest in large parts of rural India.

Engineering executives have a challenging learning curve, and many folks excitedly start their first executive role only to leave frustrated within the first eighteen months. 
     
     
     
    In this book, author Will Larson shows you ways to obtain your first executive job and quickly ramp up to meet the challenges you may not have encountered in non-executive roles: measuring engineering for both engineers and the CEO, company-scoped headcount planning, communicating successfully across a growing organization, and figuring out what people actually mean when they keep asking for a "technology strategy." 
     
     
     
    This book explains how to get an engineering executive job, negotiate the contract, and onboard at your new company; run an engineering planning process and communicate effectively with the organization; direct the core meetings necessary to operate an effective engineering organization; hire, onboard, and run performance management; manage yourself and remain effective through many challenges; and leave the job when the time is right.
