Download or read book Fewer Better Things written by Glenn Adamson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2018-08-07 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the former director of the Museum of Arts and Design in New York, a timely and passionate case for the role of the well-designed object in the digital age. Curator and scholar Glenn Adamson opens Fewer, Better Things by contrasting his beloved childhood teddy bear to the smartphones and digital tablets children have today. He laments that many children and adults are losing touch with the material objects that have nurtured human development for thousands of years. The objects are still here, but we seem to care less and know less about them. In his presentations to groups, he often asks an audience member what he or she knows about the chair the person is sitting in. Few people know much more than whether it's made of wood, plastic, or metal. If we know little about how things are made, it's hard to remain connected to the world around us. Fewer, Better Things explores the history of craft in its many forms, explaining how raw materials, tools, design, and technique come together to produce beauty and utility in handmade or manufactured items. Whether describing the implements used in a traditional Japanese tea ceremony, the use of woodworking tools, or the use of new fabrication technologies, Adamson writes expertly and lovingly about the aesthetics of objects, and the care and attention that goes into producing them. Reading this wise and elegant book is a truly transformative experience.

Download or read book The Interdependent Organization written by Rexford H. Draman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Interdependent Organization provides its readers with a template for the development of an individualized transition plan to guide their journey toward becoming more organizationally sustainable. We as humans tend to rely on our current set of assumptions when we evaluate our actions and their potential impact on the future. With today’s ever-increasing rate of change in technology, our access to information, and cultural interactions (interdependence) around the world, the reliance on old ways of thinking (linear) will not allow us to effectively transition into the systems-based world of tomorrow. The Interdependent Organization presents a deeper understanding of the financial, operational, and cultural crossroads we are facing as a planet, and introduces a systems-based transitional path that individuals, organizations, and societies can draw on to move towards a more holistic and sustainable future. The book provides readers with the necessary understanding and insight into systems, systems-thinking, and the use of systems-based business tools to guide the sustainability journey while producing a positive impact to the organization’s bottom-line, its employee engagement, and its stakeholders’ expectations in each of the journey's three stages. The journey begins with the adoption of simple yet powerful systems-based tools for managing the organization’s operations and projects. These proven tools provide increased productivity with a proven bottom-line improvement that exceeds 30%. This introduction to systems-based tools and thinking provides the organization with the time to become more familiar with this new way of thinking and making business decisions before they expand their exposure to broader, more complex systems-based and sustainable practices. The second stage of this journey is focused on introducing new tools and practices to insure a consistent set of measures are used across the organization. The third and final stage focuses on aligning the organization’s people-management practices.

Download or read book What the Hell Is Going On The Web of Fraud That Is Enslaving Everyone and How We Can Escape to Freedom written by Donald Lee and published by BookLocker.com, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-10-20 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why does nothing make sense? How can there be a “climate emergency” when the climate has not changed noticeably during my lifetime? How can we fight a “War on Drugs” for fifty years and the drug problem gets worse? How can we fight a “War on Terror” for two decades yet there’s more terror than ever? How could there be a worldwide “pandemic” when there were no excess deaths anywhere in 2020? Why is the answer to every problem more power and control for governments yet they never solve the problems? Why is it that the real power doesn’t seem to be in elected governments at all? Every government in the world seems to be taking its marching orders from the World Economic Forum? What the Hell Is Going On? What’s the connection between all these things? Is it all just an accident? These events seem to be planned, but even if they aren’t, it doesn’t matter. Like pregnancy, planned or unplanned, the result is the same. Whether by accident or conspiracy, we are on the road to totalitarian slavery. It’s not hard to understand. But it’s hard to believe. It is unbelievable. You have to see the evidence to believe it. That what this book is about—evidence. Donald Lee pulls together evidence from a dozen disciplines to “connect the dots” on a web of fraud that is leading inexorably to a one-world totalitarian tyranny. That’s the path we’re on. But we can still get on a different path. We’re in World War III. It’s a 5th generation war so it doesn’t even seem like war. At its root it is a spiritual war—and spiritual wars are fought within. “My favorite line from the book is: ‘In this spiritual war, our strategy is love, our tactic is forgiveness, our weapon is non-violent, non-cooperation.’ I couldn’t agree more.” Karen Kan, M.D. In What the Hell Is Going On?, spiritual author Donald Lee takes you on a journey of unfolding enlightenment. He shows you how: To perceive differently so you can perceive what is really going on. The Marxist “Philosophy of Death” has slowly marched through the institutions and culture of the Western world. The tactics of communist subversion have overwhelmed our society and nobody noticed. Mass formation psychosis has blinded people to reality, making them immune to reason and common sense in every fraud. We still have the structure of democracy in the Western world, but all governance is really functioning as a dictatorship—the Policy Hierarchy. The central bank digital currencies about to be unleashed on the world will trap everyone in the iron grip of a greater slavery than the world has ever known—and from which there will be no escape. The time to escape is NOW. It is already late. If we delay much longer, all hope will be lost. YOU must act NOW. To turn back the totalitarianism and bring a new rebirth of freedom. Turning back to democracy means turning back to God, means exposing the lies and uncovering the truth, particularly the truth of who you really are—an eternal child of God, a being of Light and Love. “You will be surprised, maybe horrified, but you won't emerge with the same set of conclusions you went in with.” Christopher A. Shaw, Ph.D. This might be the most important book you read this decade! Buy it now.
