The Night Shift

Sophia Curie

Sinopse

'The Night Shift' offers a compelling exploration of the vital but often overlooked 20% of the global workforce who keep our world running while others sleep. Through a blend of scientific research and personal narratives, the book illuminates the complex interplay between human biology, economic necessity, and social dynamics that shape the lives of night shift workers. It meticulously examines how these workers adapt to operating against their natural circadian rhythms while maintaining essential services across healthcare, transportation, and financial sectors.

 
The book's three-part structure takes readers on a journey from intimate personal experiences to broader systemic implications. Drawing from chronobiology and occupational health studies, it reveals fascinating insights about how the human body adapts to nocturnal schedules and the unique culture that emerges among night workers. The research presents striking findings about the physiological challenges these workers face, while also highlighting the economic imperatives that make 24-hour operations indispensable in our modern, globalized world.

 
What sets this work apart is its comprehensive approach to addressing both challenges and solutions, combining quantitative data with qualitative insights from workers across diverse industries. The book serves as both a scholarly analysis and practical guide, offering evidence-based strategies for managing sleep patterns and implementing supportive workplace policies. It appeals to a broad audience, from policy makers and business leaders to current or prospective night shift workers, providing valuable insights into this parallel world of productivity that exists after sunset.

Chokepoint Capitalism - How Big...

Rebecca Giblin, Cory Doctorow

A call to action for the creative class and labor movement to rally against the power of Big Tech and Big Media 
Corporate concentration has breached the stratosphere, as have corporate profits. An ever-expanding constellation of industries are now monopolies (where sellers have excessive power over buyers) or monopsonies (where buyers hold the whip hand over sellers)—or both. 
In Chokepoint Capitalism, scholar Rebecca Giblin and writer and activist Cory Doctorow argue we’re in a new era of “chokepoint capitalism,” with exploitative businesses creating insurmountable barriers to competition that enable them to capture value that should rightfully go to others. All workers are weakened by this, but the problem is especially well-illustrated by the plight of creative workers. From Amazon’s use of digital rights management and bundling to radically change the economics of book publishing, to Google and Facebook’s siphoning away of ad revenues from news media, and the Big Three record labels’ use of inordinately long contracts to up their own margins at the cost of artists, chokepoints are everywhere. 
By analyzing book publishing and news, live music and music streaming, screenwriting, radio and more, Giblin and Doctorow deftly show how powerful corporations construct “anti-competitive flywheels” designed to lock in users and suppliers, make their markets hostile to new entrants, and then force workers and suppliers to accept unfairly low prices. 
In the book’s second half, Giblin and Doctorow then explain how to batter through those chokepoints, with tools ranging from transparency rights to collective action and ownership, radical interoperability, contract terminations, job guarantees, and minimum wages for creative work.

Social Intelligence

Introbooks Team

Individuals carrying social intelligence can sense the feeling of other individuals, innately know how to respond in critical social situations, and appear largely assertive, even in a mass congregation. In 1920, American psychologist Edward Thorndike first established the theory of social intelligence and conveyed the veracity to the world at large. What he felt the intrinsic value of social intelligence was the capacity to consider and control men and women, boys and girls, to behave wisely in human relationships.  
No one has become born socially smart. Rather, it entails a skill set that a person learns over time. It's not as simple as mastering the idea of social intelligence. If it were, there would never have been another intriguing conversation at a gathering. Striving for a powerful social intelligence, however, can lead to a better lifestyle or at least a smoother time to make some new companions.
