Jotain on tehtävä, mutta mitä? Hakusanoilla ”ilmastonmuutos aiheuttaa” löytyy internetistä yli 5 000 osumaa, toinen toistaan huolestuttavampia. Luvassa on lisää helleaaltoja, kuivuutta, tulvia, hirmumyrskyjä, merenpinnan nousua, nälänhätää, konflikteja, pakolaisuutta, yhteiskuntien romahduksia ja taloudellisia menetyksiä. Toisaalta muutos luo myös valtavia taloudellisia mahdollisuuksia, kun energiantuotanto muuttuu päästöttömäksi ja Jäämeri avautuu ympärivuotiselle laivaliikenteelle. Ilmastonmuutoksesta on tullut nykyihmiselle kaiken kattava maailmanselitys, joillekin lähes uskonto. Jokainen voi perustella sen avulla omia tavoitteitaan: yksi vaatii elintason radikaalia alentamista, toinen vaatii teknologisen kehityksen kiihdyttämistä päästöjen vähentämiseksi. Aina kuuman kesän jälkeen poliitikot menevät paniikkiin ja hokevat entistä päättäväisemmin, että on tehtävä jotain päästöjen leikkaamiseksi ja ilmastonmuutoksen pysäyttämiseksi. Avainsana on ”jotain”: huonotkin ideat kelpaavat. Mutta entä jos paniikille ei olekaan riittävästi perusteita? Keskustelu ilmastonmuutoksen syistä ja seurauksista on jatkunut kiivaana viime vuosikymmenet, vaikka monet Al Goren kaltaiset mielipidevaikuttajat ovat väittäneet kaiken olevan selvää. Valitettavasti tiedotusvälineet ovat vaienneet erimielisyyksien taustoista. On aika korjata tämä epäkohta. Mitkä ovat ilmastotieteen heikkoudet, miten pahasti ennusteet ovat menneet pieleen, ja minkälaista vahinkoa hätiköidyllä ilmastopolitiikalla on saatu aikaan? Toimittaja Matti Virtanen (s. 1955) on alun perin koulutukseltaan maantieteilijä. Perehtyminen luonnonhistoriaan sai hänet epäilemään poliitikkojen ja median tarjoilemia yleisiä maailmanselityksiä ja uhkakuvia. Epäilyyn on aihetta, vaikka uhat on kuorrutettu tieteen arvovallalla.

Stand up -koomikon räävittömän hauska esikoisromaani. Kaikilla on huonoja työpäiviä, mutta harva joutuu kohtaamaan paskamyrskyn suorassa lähetyksessä. Hulvaton romaani siitä mitä tapahtuu, kun keski-ikäinen TV-kasvo päättää palauttaa uskottavuutensa kohupotkujen jälkeen. Miina Malviston terveys reistailee ja olo on räjähdysherkkä, mutta lääkärit eivät ota häntä tosissaan. Kun suoran talk show’n tärkeä teemajakso köyhyydestä muuttuu farssiksi, hän lataa kulisseissa perkelöityneen mielipiteensä haastateltavasta. Harmi vain, että mikrofoni on yhä päällä. Menestyjän pudotus yhteiskunnan pohjamutiin on vauhdikas. Nolattu Miina yrittää pelastaa julkisuuskuvansa lunastamalla televisiossa möläytettyjä lupauksia. Onneksi vihamielisen somen voiman voi valjastaa myös imagon kiillottamiseen. Ilkikurinen romaani pohtii, miten lapseton keski-ikäinen nainen löytää paikkansa maailmassa, jossa papukaijalle on helpompi puhua kuin ihmisille. Kaisa Pylkkänen (s. 1974) on käsikirjoittaja, ohjaaja ja palkittu stand up -koomikko. Hän on käsikirjoittanut useita suosittuja televisiosarjoja, kuten Pientä laittoa, Uutishuone ja Käenpesä. Räjähdysvaara on hänen esikoisteoksensa.

"A tactical primer for any business embarking on the critical work of actively building community."—Seth Godin, Author, This is Marketing "This book perfectly marries the psychology of communities, with the hard-earned secrets of someone who's done the real work over many years. David Spinks is the master of this craft."—Nir Eyal, bestselling author of Hooked and Indistractable The rise of the internet has brought with it an inexorable, almost shockingly persistent drive toward community. From the first social networks to the GameStop trading revolution, engaged communities have shown the ability to transform industries. Businesses need to harness that power.

In his career of over 10 years in the business of building community, Spinks has learned what a winning community strategy looks like. From the fundamental concepts—including how community drives measurable business value and what the appropriate metrics are—to high-level community design and practical engagement techniques, The Business of Belonging is an epic journey into the world of community building. This book is for decision makers who want to better understand the value and opportunity of community, and for community professionals who want to level up their strategy. Featuring a foreword by Startup Grind and Bevy cofounder Derek Andersen, it will give you a step-by-step model for strategically planning, creating, facilitating, and measuring communities that drive business growth.

Real world negotiation examples and strategies from one of the most highly respected authorities in the field This unique book can help you change your approach to negotiation by learning key strategies and techniques from actual cases. Through hard to find real world examples you will learn exactly how to effectively and productively negotiate. The Book of Real World Negotiations: Successful Strategies from Business, Government and Daily Life shines a light on real world negotiation examples and cases, rather than discussing hypothetical scenarios. It reveals what is possible through preparation, persistence, creativity, and taking a strategic approach to your negotiations. Many of us enter negotiations with skepticism and without understanding how to truly negotiate well. Because we lack knowledge and confidence, we may abandon the negotiating process prematurely or agree to deals that leave value on the table. The Book of Real World Negotiations will change that once and for all by immersing you in these real world scenarios. As a result, you’ll be better able to grasp the true power of negotiation to deal with some of the most difficult problems you face or to put together the best deals possible. This book also shares critical insights and lessons for instructors and students of negotiation, especially since negotiation is now being taught in virtually all law schools, many business schools, and in the field of conflict resolution. Whether you’re a student, instructor, or anyone who wants to negotiate successfully, you’ll be able to carefully examine real world negotiation situations that will show you how to achieve your objectives in the most challenging of circumstances. The cases are organized by realms—domestic business cases, international business cases, governmental cases and cases that occur in daily life. From these cases you will learn more about: Exactly how to achieve Win-Win outcomes The critical role of underlying interests The kind of thinking that goes into generating creative options How to consider your and the other negotiator’s Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement (BATNA) Negotiating successfully in the face of power Achieving success when negotiating cross-culturally Once you come to understand through these cases that negotiation is the art of the possible, you’ll stop saying "a solution is impossible." With the knowledge and self-assurance you gain from this book, you’ll roll up your sleeves and keep negotiating until you reach a mutually satisfactory outcome!

In The Fourth Revolution, John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge ask: what is the state actually for? Their remarkable book describes the three great revolutions in its history, and the fourth which is happening now In most of the states of the West, disillusion with government has become endemic. Gridlock in America; anger in much of Europe; cynicism in Britain; decreasing legitimacy everywhere. Most of us are resigned to the fact that nothing is ever going to change. But as John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge show us in this galvanising book, this is a seriously limited view of things. In response to earlier crises in government, there have been three great revolutions, which have brought about in turn the nation-state, the liberal state and the welfare state. In each, Europe and America have set the example. We are now, they argue, in the midst of a fourth revolution in the history of the nation-state, but this time the Western way is in danger of being left behind. The Fourth Revolution brings the crisis into full view and points toward our future. The authors enjoy extraordinary access to influential figures and forces the world over, and the book is a global tour of the innovators. The front lines are in Chinese-oriented Asia, where experiments in state-directed capitalism and authoritarian modernization have ushered in an astonishing period of development. Other emerging nations are producing striking new ideas, from Brazil's conditional cash-transfer welfare system to India's application of mass-production techniques in hospitals. These governments have not by any means got everything right, but they have embraced the spirit of active reform and reinvention which in the past has provided so much of the West's comparative advantage. The race is not just one of efficiency, but one to see which political values will triumph in the twenty-first century: the liberal values of democracy and freedom or the authoritarian values of command and control. The centre of gravity is shifting quickly, and the stakes could not be higher. JOHN MICKLETHWAIT is the Editor-in-Chief of the Economist; ADRIAN WOOLDRIDGE was its Washington bureau chief until 2009, and now serves as Management Editor and 'Schumpter' columnist. They have written four previous books together: The Company: A Short History of a Revolutionary Idea; A Future Perfect: The Challenge and Promise of Globalization; The Witchdoctors: Making Sense of the Management Gurus; The Right Nation: Why America is Different; and God is Back: How the Global Rise of Faith is Changing the World.

AN ECONOMIST BOOK OF THE YEAR Humanity's embrace of openness is the key to our success. The freedom to explore and exchange - whether it's goods, ideas or people - has led to stunning achievements in science, technology and culture. As a result, we live at a time of unprecedented wealth and opportunity. So why are we so intent on ruining it? From Stone Age hunter-gatherers to contemporary Chinese-American relations, Open explores how across time and cultures, we have struggled with a constant tension between our yearning for co-operation and our profound need for belonging. Providing a bold new framework for understanding human history, bestselling author and thinker Johan Norberg examines why we're often uncomfortable with openness - but also why it is essential for progress. Part sweeping history and part polemic, this urgent book makes a compelling case for why an open world with an open economy is worth fighting for more than ever.

The Way Forward for Entrepreneurship Around the World We are in the midst of a startup revolution. The growth and proliferation of innovation-driven startup activity is profound, unprecedented, and global in scope. Today, it is understood that communities of support and knowledge-sharing go along with other resources. The importance of collaboration and a long-term commitment has gained wider acceptance. These principles are adopted in many startup communities throughout the world. And yet, much more work is needed. Startup activity is highly concentrated in large cities. Governments and other actors such as large corporations and universities are not collaborating with each other nor with entrepreneurs as well as they could. Too often, these actors try to control activity or impose their view from the top-down, rather than supporting an environment that is led from the bottom-up. We continue to see a disconnect between an entrepreneurial mindset and that of many actors who wish to engage with and support entrepreneurship. There are structural reasons for this, but we can overcome many of these obstacles with appropriate focus and sustained practice. No one tells this story better than Brad Feld and Ian Hathaway. The Startup Community Way: Evolving an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem explores what makes startup communities thrive and how to improve collaboration in these rapidly evolving, complex environments. The Startup Community Way is an explanatory guide for startup communities. Rooted in the theory of complex systems, this book establishes the systemic properties of entrepreneurial ecosystems and explains why their complex nature leads people to make predictable mistakes. As complex systems, value creation occurs in startup communities primarily through the interaction of the "parts" - the people, organizations, resources, and conditions involved - not the parts themselves. This continual process of bottom-up interactions unfolds naturally, producing value in novel and unexpected ways. Through these complex, emergent processes, the whole becomes greater and substantially different than what the parts alone could produce. Because of this, participants must take a fundamentally different approach than is common in much of our civic and professional lives. Participants must take a whole-system view, rather than simply trying to optimize their individual part. They must prioritize experimentation and learning over planning and execution. Complex systems are uncertain and unpredictable. They cannot be controlled, only guided and influenced. Each startup community is unique. Replication is enticing but impossible. The race to become "The Next Silicon Valley" is futile - even Silicon Valley couldn't recreate itself. This book: Offers practical advice for entrepreneurs, community builders, government officials, and other stakeholders who want to harness the power of entrepreneurship in their city Describes the core components of startup communities and entrepreneurial ecosystems, as well as an explanation of the differences between these two related, but distinct concepts Advances a new framework for effective startup community building based on the theory of complex systems and insights from systems thinking Includes contributions from leading entrepreneurial voices Is a must-have resource for entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, executives, business and community leaders, economic development authorities, policymakers, university officials, and anyone wishing to understand how startup communities work anywhere in the world
