Sinopse

Throughout history, houses have been an economic resource as much as a means of social, political and cultural agency. From the early modern period to the 20th century, the multifaceted capital of houses linked individuals, families and societies in specific ways. The essays collected here probe the material texture of past societies concerning the inheritance, value, sale or maintenance of houses as well as the symbolic meanings that houses conveyed.

    The award-winning journalist delves “into the confluence of modern airplane technology and pilot behavior to probe how and why flight disasters happen” (BookTrib). 
     
    Aviation automation has been pushed to its limits, with pilots increasingly relying on it. Autopilot, autothrottle, autoland, flight management systems, air data systems, inertial guidance systems. All these systems are only as good as their inputs which, incredibly, can go rogue. Even the automation itself is subject to unpredictable failure.  
     
    And what of the pilots? They began flight training with their hands on the throttle and yoke, and feet on the rudder pedals. Then they reached the pinnacle of their careers—airline pilot—and suddenly they were going hours without touching the controls other than for a few minutes on takeoff and landing. Are their skills eroding? Is their training sufficient to meet the demands of today’s planes? 
     
    The Dangers of Automation in Airliners delves deeply into these questions. You’ll be in the cockpits of the two doomed Boeing 737 MAXs, the Airbus A330 lost over the South Atlantic, and the Bombardier Q400 that stalled over Buffalo. You’ll discover exactly why a Boeing 777 smacked into a seawall, missing the runway on a beautiful summer morning. And you’ll watch pilots battling—sometimes winning and sometimes not—against automation run amok. This book also investigates the human factors at work. You’ll learn why pilots might overlook warnings or ignore cockpit alarms. You’ll observe automation failing to alert aircrews of what they crucially need to know while fighting to save their planes and their passengers. 
     
    The future of safe air travel depends on automation. This book tells its story.

    **INTEGRATING HEALTH-FOCUSED STRATEGIES INTO TRAVEL POLICIES IS A BUSINESS IMPERATIVE **BEGINNING WITH A COMPREHENSIVE UNDERSTANDING of businesses’ Duty of Care and employees’ Duty of Loyalty, Agrawal and Miller Sallah offer readers a seven-step approach to maintaining a heightened focus on employee health and well-being in every aspect of business travel—from generating sense-making policy to collecting and analyzing relevant trip data and traveler feedback. They show how businesses of all sizes can proactively address the impacts of business travel on employee health, the unique risks to health and safety that can occur during business travel, the necessity of accommodating employees’ existing health conditions and accessibility needs, and the value of employer-sponsored medical travel services.Agrawal and Miller Sallah offer recommendations to help employers navigate the cyclical nature of travel policy creation, revision and refinement, the evolving business travel landscape, and the changing needs and preferences of employees who travel for work. Agrawal and Miller Sallah make a convincing case that maintaining a more holistic and inclusive approach to business travel and continuous evolution are business imperatives to meeting an organization’s Duty of Care obligations.

    Do you wish you could create an amazing environment where your team can do their best work AND feel safe, connected, and valued? 
    You can transform your leadership with these five easy steps. 
    Behavioral psychologist Dr. John Austin has asked leaders around the world what they most want for their teams . . . and most leaders want their people to feel belonging, psychological and physical safety, to feel inspired, excited to be at work, and that they are working with purpose. Leaders implement processes and procedures, develop training, create strategic plans, and explain in increasing detail what to do . . . and yet, somehow, the work culture often does not improve. 
    The problem is the false assumption that knowing something means that you will do it. And thousands of well-meaning, smart, and hardworking leaders make this mistake every day. 
    Honed over twenty-five years and on more than 10,000 projects, Austin's RESULTS: 
    The Science-Based Approach to Better Productivity, Profitability, and Safety is a practical guide to becoming a more effective leader by leveraging behavioral science and shows you how to achieve lasting results quicker than you ever thought possible. 
    In this concise guide, Austin distills behavioral science into a five-step process that can be applied to work and family life. Along the way, readers will be inspired and motivated by stories of how companies have successfully used this process to astounding effect-in fact, Austin's approach has produced positive, measurable results more than 90% of the time. 
    If you want to...Build a feedback-rich environment where everyone enjoys a better work lifeHelp team members feel safe to share their best ideas to improve the workBuild strong relationships, loyalty, and connection among your teams
