Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic has reorganized existing methods of exchange, turning comparatively marginal technologies into the new normal.

Download or read book Made in Crises written by Qaiser Abbas and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2020-11-29 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Chinese, the character for the word crisis is made up of two symbols, , danger and opportunity. A crisis is an ultimate test a leader can endure as while it swiftly reveals a leader’s capabilities and strengths; it can also expose the underlying weak spots. The unpredictable, dramatic, and highly charged events surrounding a crisis can profoundly affect the people in an organisation and threaten its very existence. A crisis is a condition of instability in social, economic, political, or international affairs, leading to a decisive change. Most of us are ordinary people until a crisis finds us. It is an interesting study of how various crises inspired great leadership icons and how these symbols of prominence stirred a distinct set of events. Crises bring with them opportunities for the leaders to stretch, embrace, and evolve new behaviors, solutions, and attitudes. Like every seriously committed business leaders of today, if you too are overwhelmed what the world experienced in 2020 in the form of Coronavirus pandemic and searching for a new growth trail for your company and have not yet traced out a trajectory towards it, this book is our gift to you. This ‘mother of crises,’ caused a series of unthinkable events; millions got infected in the first world, hundreds of thousands died in the most advanced clinical setting, thousands of billions were lost in the bloodbath in the stock market, capitalism embraced socialism, and nuclear-armed global economies shuddered like a house of cards in the face of the pandemic. And mighty leaders, business and political, crumbled like Icarus, the son of the master craftsman Daedalus, whose waxen wings melted when he flew too close to the sun.

Download or read book My Life in a Pandemic written by Giridhar Pai and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2021-02-28 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In early 2020, few Indians watching the COVID-19 pandemic unfold globally may have thought about it spreading across India. As the COVID-19 cases started rising, the Indian government declared a 3-week lockdown in March 2020 and followed it up with four more over the next six months. India had the most stringent lockdown globally for most of 2020 and this book looks closely at the lives of Indians during that year. In 2020, video calling apps enabled people to interact professionally and personally and became the biggest saviors. Shopping became an expedition and exercising an adventure as the Indian lockdown did not allow most outdoor activities. The author heard the world’s loudest insect in his community when the lockdown stopped all activity. This book documents many such wondrous natural phenomena that the author observed when nature was in free flow in absence of human interference. The author’s kaleidoscopic coverage paints a fascinating picture of his life in a pandemic year. In a year that saw postponement of the Olympics by a year, a race was on to develop a COVID-19 vaccine with more than 100 vaccine candidates in line for use in 2021. My Life in a Pandemic is a great chronicle of the 21st century’s first pandemic that dramatically reshaped human history.
Download or read book Bold They Rise written by David Hitt and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2014-06-01 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the Apollo program put twelve men on the moon and safely brought them home, anything seemed possible. In this spirit, the team at NASA set about developing the Space Shuttle, arguably the most complex piece of machinery ever created. The world's first reusable spacecraft, it launched like a rocket, landed like a glider, and carried out complicated missions in between. Bold They Rise tells the story of the Space Shuttle through the personal experiences of the astronauts, engineers, and scientists who made it happen--in space and on the ground, from the days of research and design through the heroic accomplishments of the program to the tragic last minutes of the Challenger disaster. In the participants' own voices, we learn what so few are privy to: what it was like to create a new form of spacecraft, to risk one's life testing that craft, to float freely in the vacuum of space as a one-man satellite, to witness a friend's death. A "guided tour" of the shuttle--in historical, scientific, and personal terms--this book provides a fascinating, richly informed, and deeply personal view of a feat without parallel in the human story.

Download or read book Varieties of Cooperation written by Clemens Eisenmann and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-03-02 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume conceives cooperation in broad terms as any form of mutual making, in which goals, means, and procedures are seen as ongoing accomplishments. From the exchanges of goods or information, to the interactions between bodies or organizations, and the coordination between colleagues, competitors, friends or foes. Mutually making the conditions of mutual making entails translating heterogeneous interests, negotiating conflicting values and articulating distributed activities. On the one hand, the contributions cover different notions and concepts of cooperation in diverse fields of study: from the mundane cooperation of everyday life to collective endeavors within specific domains. On the other hand, the contributions share a focus on the practices of making cooperation possible through cooperatively creating the conditions for cooperation itself. Seeing cooperative media both as a condition and consequence of cooperation, the volume sheds light on a general feature of media, technologies and instruments that both enable and constrain the collaboration between heterogeneous social worlds, with and without consensus.
