Summary

"Tiny Giants" reveals the astounding capabilities of arthropods – insects, spiders, and their kin – demonstrating how these creatures thrive despite their small size. Exploring biomechanics, neurobiology, and social organization, the book uncovers their secrets to strength, speed, and complex group behaviors. For example, arthropods' exoskeletons enable feats of strength, and their nervous systems allow them to process information with surprising speed. 

 
The book explores how these tiny creatures offer insights into biology, engineering, and social science. Arthropods' compact size and rapid life cycles make them ideal models for research, allowing scientists to observe evolution in action. From the physics of insect flight to the communication strategies of ant colonies, each chapter builds upon the last, providing a comprehensive overview of arthropod biology and its potential applications, such as informing the design of miniature robots. 

 
The book progresses from discussing the diversity of arthropods to exploring the biomechanics of movement, the intricacies of their sensory systems, and the complexities of social organization. Concluding with real-world applications, "Tiny Giants" showcases how studying these tiny creatures can inspire technological innovations and a deeper understanding of social systems.

    The pressure to "be digital" has never been greater. 
 
 
  
The digital revolution is here. It's changing how work gets done, how industries are structured, and how people from all walks of life work, behave and relate to each other. To thrive in a world driven by data and powered by algorithms, we must learn to see, think, and act in new ways. We need to develop a digital mindset. 
 
 
 
But what does that mean? Some fear it means that in the near future we will all need to become technologists who master the intricacies of coding, algorithms, AI, machine learning, robotics, and who knows what's next. 
 
  
 
This book introduces three approaches—Collaboration, Computation, Change—that you need for a digital mindset, and the perspectives and actions within each approach that will enable you to develop digital skills you need. With the digital mindset, you can ask the right questions, make smart decisions and appreciate new possibilities for a digital future. Leaders who adopt these approaches will be able to develop their organization's talent to prepare their company for successful and continued digital transformation. 
 
 
  
The surprising and welcome secret is that developing a digital mindset isn't as hard as we think. Most people can become digitally savvy if they follow the "30% rule," or the minimum threshold that gives us just enough digital literacy to understand and take advantage of the digital fabric woven into our world.

    Trained as a vet in Edinburgh, Hugh Cran set off to Kenya and spent the next 50 years at the sharp end, treating cattle of Maasai herdsmen, wild animals, horses and pets of ex-pats and the military, the government and everyone in-between. Travelling miles on rough roads, performing impromptu surgery by torchlight and with dirty water, Hugh fell in love with the chaotic life and the colourful people he worked for, from dawn to dusk, seven days a week.
