Sinossi

Public Space Norms explores the unwritten rules that govern behavior in urban environments, examining how these norms shape social order within shared spaces like parks and streets. It argues that understanding these norms is crucial for creating inclusive and thriving communities. The book highlights that social order isn't solely dictated by formal regulations but arises from the interplay of design, community expectations, and subtle social cues. Did you know that even the arrangement of benches can influence how people interact in a park? This study uses diverse methods, including observations, interviews, and urban design analysis, to uncover how norms are established and enforced across varied settings. 

 
The book begins with foundational concepts in urban studies before diving into specific case studies. It examines how spatial design either encourages or discourages certain activities, and considers the roles of community members and authorities in maintaining these norms. The later chapters offer practical strategies for urban planning and policy, aiming to create public spaces that are both safe and inclusive.

 
Ultimately, Public Space Norms provides valuable insights for urban planners, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the dynamics of urban life. It emphasizes the importance of considering the perspectives of everyday users to foster equitable and vibrant public realms.

    An action-oriented approach for businesses to solve the world’s most urgent social problems — and benefit from doing so.
    		 
    More than a year into a global pandemic, profit and shareholder value are no longer the primary metric of business success. Customers, shareholders, and communities are demanding that companies do good, do more, and do better. In Change for Good, Paul Klein shows how companies must move beyond what he calls “corporate social responsibility light” and demonstrate how they can help solve social problems that have been defined as UN Sustainable Development Goals.
    		 
    Change for Good is a new system for making social change through business that reflects Paul’s experience over the last 35 years. One of the core principles of Change for Good is including people with lived experience of social problems in identifying promising solutions and collaborating to bring these solutions to life. This methodology can create impactful and sustainable social change in society in ways that aren’t possible when executives make decisions in their boardrooms that are intended to impact the lives of vulnerable people.
    		 
    Through personal experiences, case studies, and practical tools, Change for Good will inspire readers and their organizations to make the shift from a passive social responsibility to taking action to help solve the world’s most pressing social problems.

    Hebrew theology was divided into three distinct parts. The first was the law, the second was the soul of the law, and the third was the soul of the soul of the law. The law was taught to all the children of Israel; the Mishna, or the soul of the law, was revealed to the Rabbins and teachers; but the Qabbalah, the soul of the soul of the law, was cunningly concealed, and only the highest initiates among the Jews were instructed in its secret principles.

    Searching reflections on the crisis in Israel and Gaza by a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian of the Holocaust 
     
     
     
    Diary of a Crisis explores the past tumultuous and traumatic year in Israel-Palestine. The eminent historian Saul Friedländer began a diary of Israeli politics in January 2023 as the country was convulsed by protests against Netanyahu's attempt to overhaul the judiciary. Hundreds of thousands took to the streets to demonstrate against this threat to democracy. But the protests said nothing about the Palestinian question—the "elephant in the room," according to Friedländer, who resumed his diary after Hamas's October 7 assault on southern Israel. Israel was facing one of the worst crises in its history, he observes, under the worst possible internal conditions. 
     
     
     
    Friedländer weaves together profound reflections on a national history in which he has been an active participant. He describes how Prime Minister Golda Meir once flatly declared to him, "There is no Palestinian people." For Friedländer, on the other hand, the fight for democracy is inseparable from equality of treatment for Arab and Jewish citizens and an end to Israeli domination over Palestinians in the Occupied Territories. He argues that despite the continuing bloodshed, a two-state solution remains the only long-term answer to this most intractable of conflicts.
