Sinopse

Smartest Creatures explores the fascinating realm of animal cognition, questioning the notion that complex thought is exclusive to humans. Delving into the cognitive abilities of dolphins, chimpanzees, crows, and octopuses, the book reveals how these animals exhibit intelligence through tool use, intricate social structures, and problem-solving skills. For instance, dolphins possess complex communication systems and self-awareness, while crows demonstrate remarkable problem-solving abilities. 

 
The book begins by outlining the principles of animal cognition research and then dedicates chapters to each of the selected species, detailing their unique cognitive strengths. By adopting a comparative approach, Smartest Creatures highlights both the commonalities and differences in intellectual strategies across these distantly related species.

 
 Ultimately, the book challenges anthropocentric views and broadens our understanding of intelligence as a diverse phenomenon shaped by evolution and comparative cognition.

    AN INTIMATE PORTRAIT OF LIFE IN ONE OF THE WORLD'S RICHEST NATIONS AHEAD OF THE FIFA 2022 WORLD CUP
    
    Just 75 years ago, the Gulf nation of Qatar was a backwater, reliant on pearl diving. Today it is a gas-laden parvenu with seemingly limitless wealth and ambition. Skyscrapers, museums and futuristic football stadiums rise out of the desert and Ferraris race through the streets. But in the shadows, migrant workers toil in the heat for risible amounts.
    Inside Qatar reveals how real people live in this surreal place, a land of both great opportunity and great iniquity. Ahead of Qatar's time in the limelight as host of the 2022 FIFA Men's World Cup, anthropologist John McManus lifts a lid on the hidden worlds of its gilded elite, its spin doctors and thrill seekers, its manual labourers and domestic workers.
    
    The sum of their tales is not some exotic cabinet of curiosities. Instead, Inside Qatar opens a window onto the global problems - of unfettered capitalism, growing inequality and climate change - that concern us all.

    Risk Management and ISO 31000 -...

    Risk management is a primary concern for any organisation. Its significance has only increased since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Organisations need to prepare for all types of threats, both probable (a server breaking down) and improbable (the office being flooded), to ensure that their operations can survive and adapt to continue with BAU (business as usual) in the face of a disaster.
    Yet risk management isn't solely about preventing negative outcomes, it is also about an organisation taking a known risk to uncover new opportunities to improve the organisation. For example, the transition of employees to remote working could risk an organisation's security as an employee could connect their laptop to an unsecure Wi-Fi connection. However, as demonstrated in the pandemic, remote working helped protect employees as the risk of infecting one another with COVID-19 was reduced.
    Read this pocket guide to understand how:
    
    - Risk-based management can prepare your organisation for future threats and therefore help the success of a BCP (business continuity plan);
    - To identify whether the opportunities gained from a 'risky' decision can outweigh the perceived threat;
    - The principles of ISO 31000 can help your organisation develop a framework for its approach to risk management;
    - The guidelines of ISO 31000 can be interwoven with controls in other standards such as ISO 27001 and ISO 9001; and
    - The organisation must continually review its approach to risk management to stay prepared for the latest threats.
