PepsiCo's award-winning chief design officer reveals the secret to creating life-changing innovations: putting human needs at the center of any design process. In every industry, new technologies have lowered the barrier to entry like never before. Either you design exceptional products, brands and experiences, or somebody will beat you to it. And Mauro Porcini - PepsiCo's and 3M's first ever chief design officer - says, the key to real, world-changing innovation is to put people first. Putting people first requires what Porcini calls unicorns: people who are in love with people and who have a genuine fire in them to create meaningful solutions for actual human beings. In this book, he describes them, celebrates them, and details their superpowers so you can find them, hire them, grow them, and retain them. Some have qualities you might expect-the ability to dream and an attention to detail-but when was the last time you heard an executive ask prospective hires if they were kind or humble? Porcini uses his journey across startups and multinational corporations, through successes and failures, to create a handbook for modern innovators. This book is written by a celebrated designer, high-level corporate executive, and a decent human being.Show book
The use of flint is uniquely interlinked with the history of mankind. In the evolving relationship between humanity and the natural world, the provenance of flint as a resource is, arguably, unparalleled. Its continuing use today is simply another link in a long chain of association that can swiftly transport the craftsman back to his ancient ancestors. In historical terms, humans were relatively quick to discover the usefulness and versatility of flint. It offered itself up readily, rising to the surface of the land. But perhaps part of the enduring fascination we have for flint is that it does not easily give up its secrets. Building with Flint is not only a comprehensive exploration of the history of flint and its traditional uses, properties and applications, but is also an invaluable practical guide for practitioners currently working in the professions of construction, architecture and design. As well as providing detailed insight and advice about good practice in flint work, it also inspires the reader to employ flint in innovative and versatile ways. In addition, this book is for anyone who is simply curious to unearth more about this versatile material and all its quirks and nuances.Show book
A sweet and sly exploration of the Jane Austen–inspired teen movie and its evergreen imperative to be kind, do better, and find the activist within We are totally butt-crazy in love with Clueless. Since the movie’s premiere in 1995, pop culture has mined Amy Heckerling’s high school comedy for inspiration, from Iggy Azalea and Charli XCX’s “Fancy” music video to Cher’s iconic yellow plaid suit appearing at every Halloween party. In Ugh As If!, Veronica Litt argues that this seemingly fluffy teen romp is the quintessential thinking woman’s movie, one in which the audience is asked to seriously consider the beauty and power of naïveté. Cher Horowitz’s gradual pivot from oblivious it girl to burgeoning activist is a powerful reminder that even the most unlikely people can change for the better and contribute to their communities. In this bright, shiny film, pursuing a more just society isn’t just possible — it’s enjoyable. This fun, feminine, feel-good movie is a counter-narrative to nihilism, a refusal to give into cynicism, hopelessness, and passivity. Almost without viewers noticing, Clueless teaches Cher, and us, how to become better. Like the film it examines, Ugh As If! nudges even the most jaded viewer into feeling hopeful about the future.

APOCALYPSE NOW THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE ABOUT THE FILM Apocalypse Now (1979) is a war film directed by Francis Ford Coppola, set during the Vietnam War. The story follows Captain Benjamin Willard, who is sent on a covert mission to assassinate Colonel Kurtz, a U.S. Army officer who has gone rogue and established a violent, godlike rule over a remote Cambodian outpost. As Willard journeys upriver with his crew, he encounters the brutal realities of war, exploring themes of madness, morality, and the human cost of violence. The film blends surrealism and psychological horror, offering a haunting critique of war and its dehumanizing effects. TRIVIA SAMPLES: “Principal photography concluded on May 21, 1977, after 238 days of filming.” “Al Pacino was also offered the role of Captain Willard but declined, fearing a lengthy stay in the jungle and recalling how he fell ill during The Godfather Part II in the Dominican Republic.” “Apocalypse Now won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, sharing the honor with The Tin Drum by Volker Schlöndorff, despite some boos from the audience.” “The film's title, Apocalypse Now, was inspired by a button badge from the 1960s that read 'Nirvana Now,' which John Milius modified for the film.” “During Captain Willard's conversation with Colonel Kurtz, Willard's Ohio roots are mentioned. Interestingly, actor Martin Sheen is from Dayton, Ohio, just like his character.”Show book
