  In an era marked by sudden and profound change, the fashion world has also experienced significant transformations. Its boundaries, its rationale and its protagonists have all been redefined, with these changes continuing now and in the future. The purpose of this book is to analyze this market with particular focus on the segment defined as "high-end" and to provide entrepreneurs, professionals, workers in the sector, consultants, and business/fashion students, a context to understand better the latest and most up-to-date ideas and how to govern their growth.
   
   The starting point for the book's discussion begins with the title of the book, which emphasizes two important characteristics regarding its context: the increasingly blurred distinction between offline and online - hence the term "onlife" - and the absence of rules, given the obvious out-of-date nature of those on which fashion companies have based their business strategies in recent decades. This has led the authors to propose a handbook of new rules, suitable for a world that increasingly appears to be lacking them.

  Not Just for the Boys - Why We...

  Not Just For the Boys looks back at how society has historically excluded women from the scientific sphere and discourse, what progress has been made, and how more is still needed. Athene Donald, herself a distinguished physicist, explores societal expectations during both childhood and working life using evidence of the systemic disadvantages women operate under, from the developing science of how our brains are and more importantly aren't gendered, to social science evidence around attitudes towards girls and women doing science. 
   
  It also discusses how science is done in practice, in order to dispel common myths: for example, the perception that science is not creative, or that it is carried out by a lone genius in an ivory tower, myths that can be very off-putting to many sections of the population. A better appreciation of the collaborative, creative, and multi-disciplinary nature of science is likely to lead to its appeal to a far wider swathe of people, especially women. This book examines the modern way of working in scientific research, and how gender bias operates in various ways within it, drawing on the voices of leading women in science describing their feelings and experiences. It argues the moral and business case for greater diversity in modern research, the better to improve science and tackle the great challenges we face today.

  Dr. Kimberly McGlonn's life is a story of two childhoods and two Americas. Born on the Northside of Milwaukee, a city Dr. Martin Luther King called "the Selma of the North," she was afforded all the comforts of middle-class life. However, when McGlonn was twelve, all that changed. What came next taught her about the consequences of poverty, the nuances of criminality, and the obstacles women in poverty navigate. 
  In Build It Boldly, she calls on the world's 524 million entrepreneurs to embrace a new kind of activism and legacy-building: one that puts people and the planet in the balance of the pursuit of profit and that promotes the kind of optimism necessary for climate resilience. A unique voice, Dr. McGlonn offers timely wisdom on what daring leadership requires and how we might use business design to create powerful impacts on behalf of the common good.

  How the Aussie economy got hooked on the world's dirtiest cash. 
    
  Longlisted for a 2022 Walkley Award and earning the author the 2022 Financial Crime Fighter Award. 
  In today's ruthless world of organised crime, the best criminals aren't foolish enough to steal money out of banks. They wear tailored suits, carry briefcases, and discreetly slip money into banks.  
  Bigwigs, oligarchs and crime syndicates running drugs, trafficking guns and people, arming terrorists and subverting government controls are desperate to put a legitimate face on their wealth. Washing dirty money, moving it around the globe, making it look legitimate is where the action is for both criminals and the authorities chasing them. 
  Australia is awash with dirty money. It flows through our economy, keeps banks running, powers big business, puts coffee on restaurant tables, seeps into clubs, pubs, sport, the art world and anywhere that value is moved. It infiltrates real estate, costs billions in policing, and takes a terrible toll on Australian lives. What law enforcement agencies might lack in legislation and political will they make up for with sheer resourcefulness. When they can't get at the masterminds and bigwigs, they have honed tactics that intercept the flow of illicit cash and aim to drive a wedge between crooks and their ill-gotten wealth. 
  In The Lucky Laundry, financial crime expert Nathan Lynch delves deep inside this hidden world to explain how dark money has infected the lives of ordinary people - and tainted Australian democracy. He opens the curtain on the hidden world of financial intelligence, where crooks and spooks play a cat-and-mouse game inside the world's black money markets. 
  Enter the realm of the agents and undercover operatives who defend our democracy against the corrosive force of billions of dirty dollars.

  The Extraordinary Power of...

  "This inspiring book belongs on the desk of every CEO and politician. With eye-opening case studies and recommended behaviors in every chapter, it's an indispensable user guide for servant leaders." 
  -Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The New One Minute Manager and coeditor of 
  Servant Leadership in Action 
   
  On the most fundamental level, leaders must bring divergent groups together and forge consensus on a path forward. But what makes that possible? Leadership educator Marilyn Gist says what is most important is far too often overlooked: humility, which she defines as a deep regard for others' dignity. 
   
  Gist offers a model of leader humility derived from three questions people ask of their leaders: Who are you? Where are we going?  Do you see me? She explores each of these questions in depth, as well as the six key qualities of leader humility: a balanced ego, integrity, a compelling vision, ethical strategies, generous inclusion, and a developmental focus. Much of this book is based on Gist's interviews with a dozen distinguished leaders of organizations such as the Mayo Clinic, Costco, REI, Alaska Airlines, Starbucks, and others. The foreword and a guest chapter are written by Alan Mulally, the legendary leader who brought Ford back from the brink of bankruptcy after the 2008 financial collapse and who Gist sees as an exemplar of leader humility.
