Hardback. Zustand: Good. "Innovation"isthehottest buzzword in business. But what if our obsession with findingthenext big thing has distracted us from the work that matters most? "The most important book I've read in a long time . . . It explains so much about what is wrong with our technology, our economy, and the world, and gives a simple recipe for how to fix it: Focus on understanding what it takes for your products and services to last."-Tim O'Reilly, founder of O'Reilly Media It's hard to avoidinnovationthese days. Nearly every product gets marketed as being disruptive, whether it's genuinely a new invention or just a new toothbrush. But in this manifesto onthestate of American work, historians of technology Lee Vinsel and Andrew L. Russell argue that our way of thinking about and pursuinginnovationhas made us poorer, less safe, and-ironically-less innovative. Drawing on years of original research and reporting,The InnovationDelusionshows howtheideology of change for its own sake has proved a disaster. Corporations have spent millions hiring chiefinnovationofficers whiletheir core businesses tank. Computer science programs have drilledtheir students on programming and design, even thoughtheoverwhelming majority of jobs are in IT and maintenance. In countless cities, suburban sprawl has left local governments with loads of deferred repairs thatthey can't afford to fix. And sometimesinnovationeven kills-like in 2018 when a Miami bridge hailed for its innovative design collapsed onto a highway and killed six people. In this provocative, deeply researched book, Vinsel and Russell tellthestory of how we devaluedthework that underpins modern life-and, in doing so, wrecked our economy and public infrastructure while liningthepockets of consultants who combinetheego of Silicon Valley withtheworst of Wall Street's greed.Theauthors offer a compelling plan for how we can shift our focus away fromthepursuit of growth at all costs, and back toward neglected activities like maintenance, care, and upkeep. For anyone concerned bythecrumbling state of our roads and bridges orthedirection our economy is headed,TheInnovation Delusionis a deeply necessary reevaluation of a trend we can still disrupt.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The first comprehensive history of auto regulation in the United States.Regulation has shaped the evolution of the automobile from the beginning. In Moving Violations, Lee Vinsel shows that, contrary to popular opinion, these restrictions have not hindered technological change. Rather, by drawing together communities of scientific and technical experts, auto regulations have actually fostered innovation.Vinsel tracks the history of American auto regulation from the era of horseless carriages and the first, faltering efforts to establish speed limits in cities to recent experiments with self-driving cars. He examines how the government has tried to address car-related problems, from accidents to air pollution, and demonstrates that automotive safety, emissions, and fuel economy have all improved massively over time. Touching on fuel economy standards, the rise of traffic laws, the birth of drivers' education classes, and the science of distraction, he also describes how the government's changing activities have reshaped the automobile and its drivers, as well as the country's entire system of roadways and supporting technologies, including traffic lights and gas pumps. Moving Violations examines how policymakers, elected officials, consumer advocates, environmentalists, and other interested parties wrestled to control the negative aspects of American car culture while attempting to preserve what they saw as its positive contributions to society. Written in a clear, approachable, and jargon-free voice, Moving Violations will appeal to makers and analysts of policy, historians of science, technology, business, and the environment, and any readers interested in the history of cars and government.…
