  Lean Production Scale-up

  This audiobook is an altered version of the Master’s thesis Lean Production Scale-up. How a startup can scale the manufacturing of physical product innovation by Ilkka Taponen. Approximately half of the original thesis has been removed to suit the audiobook format. The audiobook edit has been designed for an audience familiar with startups and business, meaning that large portions of the basics have been removed from the Theory chapter.Today the market entry for new ideas and entrepreneurs is easier than ever as the digital age is reshaping how business is done. Through digitalization, the business environment has become highly open and widely connected. The combinations of digital technologies like edge computing and artificial intelligence, AI, enable new business model opportunities. In this fast-changing environment, the most important thing is to learn as fast as possible what to do next and what is worth doing at all. Multiple non-fiction books like The Four Steps to the Epiphany by Steve Blank and Lean Startup by Eric Ries study the modern internet-era startup business environment.Still, one aspect has not been included in the broader public discussion. The tools presented in Lean Startup concentrate on finding the market fit as efficiently as possible but assume that the same level of uncertainties does not exist in the company's internal processes. “We wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters” is a famous quote by startup investor Peter Thiel. Behind the quote is the notion that there is something different and more challenging about developing physical technologies compared to online services. Manufacturing, indeed, is an underrated problem. It is much harder to take advanced technology and bring it to volume manufacturing than to design it in the first place.

  This is Not America

  Across the West, racial injustice has become a matter of urgency. Terms like 'critical race theory' and 'intersectionality' are everywhere and, in the rush to get it right, Britain has followed the lead of the world's dominant political power: America. But what if we've been looking in the wrong place? 
  In This is Not America, Tomiwa Owolade argues that too much of the debate around racism in Britain is viewed through the prism of American ideas that don't reflect the history, challenges and achievements of black communities at home. 
  Humane, empirical and passionate, this book promises to start a new conversation around race and, vitally, shed light on black British life today.

  The Battle of Tours - Defending...

  The Umayyad Caliphate emerged as one of the most powerful empires in the early Islamic world, expanding its influence across vast territories from the Middle East to North Africa and into Europe. Following the death of Prophet Muhammad, the Islamic world underwent a rapid transformation, with the Rashidun Caliphs overseeing the initial expansion. However, it was under the Umayyads, beginning in 661 CE, that the Islamic empire reached unprecedented heights, establishing a vast and organized dominion. Their rule was characterized by military conquests, administrative advancements, and cultural integration, making them a formidable force in the medieval world. 
  One of the most defining aspects of Umayyad expansion was its push into Western Europe. After successfully conquering the Iberian Peninsula in 711 CE, the Muslim forces, primarily composed of Berbers and Arabs, established Al-Andalus under the leadership of governors appointed by the Umayyad Caliphate. The conquest of the Visigothic Kingdom was swift, with key victories such as the Battle of Guadalete opening the doors for further advances northward. By the early 8th century, the Umayyads had consolidated control over much of present-day Spain and Portugal, making their presence in Europe a significant political and military reality. 
  As the Umayyads strengthened their hold over Iberia, their attention turned toward the Frankish territories. The Islamic forces, seeking to expand their influence beyond the Pyrenees, launched several incursions into the southern regions of Gaul. These raids, initially aimed at securing wealth and resources, gradually evolved into more ambitious campaigns of territorial expansion. The city of Narbonne fell under Muslim control in 719 CE, serving as a critical stronghold for future campaigns. From there, the Umayyads pushed further into Aquitaine, where they encountered resistance from the local Christian rulers, most notably Duke Odo of Aquitaine.

  Too Good to Be Altogether Lost -...

  Pamela Smith Hill

  Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of the well-known Little House series, wrote stories from her childhood because they were "too good to be altogether lost." With the release of NBC's Little House on the Prairie series in 1974, Wilder was well on her way to becoming an international literary superstar. Simultaneously, however, the novels themselves began to slip from view, replaced by an onslaught of assumptions and questions about Wilder's values and politics and even about the books' authenticity. From the 1980s, a slow but steady critical crescendo began to erode Wilder's literary reputation. 
   
   
   
  In Too Good to Be Altogether Lost, Wilder expert Pamela Smith Hill dives back into the Little House books, closely examining Wilder's text, her characters, and their stories. Hill reveals that these gritty, emotionally complex novels depict a realistic coming of age for a girl in the American West. This realism in Wilder's novels, once perceived as a fatal flaw, can lead to essential discussions not only about the past but about the present—and the underlying racism young people encounter when reading today. Hill's fresh approach to Wilder's books shows how this author forever changed the literary landscape of children's and young adult literature in ways that remain vital and relevant today.
