Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What we can learn from a Renaissance nowhereIn 1516, a book was published in Latin with the enigmatic Greek-derived word as its title. Utopia--which could mean either 'good-place' or 'no-place'--gives a traveler's account of a newly discovered island somewhere in the New World where the inhabitants enjoy a social order based purely on natural reason and justice. As the traveler describes the harmony, prosperity, and equality found there, a dramatic contrast is drawn between the ideal community he portrays and the poverty, crime, and often frightening political conditions of 16th century Europe. Written by Sir Thomas More (1477-1535)--then a rising intellectual star of the Renaissance and ultimately the advisor and friend of Henry VIII who was executed for his devoutly Catholic opposition to the king--Utopia is as complex as its author.In the form of a Platonic dialogue, Utopia explores topics such as money, property, crime, education, religious tolerance, euthanasia, and feminism. Claimed as a paean to communism (Lenin had More's name inscribed on a statue in Moscow) as often as it has been seen as a defense of traditional medieval values, Utopia began the lineage of utopian thinkers who use storytelling to explore new possibilities for human society--and remains as relevant today as when it was written in Antwerp 500 years ago.\* Explore the issues like feminism, euthanasia, and equality through Renaissance eyes\* Early communist tract or a defense of medieval values You decide.\* Peer inside the enigmatic mind of the man who dared stand up to Henry VIII\* Appreciate the postmodern possibilities of Platonic dialoguePart of the bestselling Capstone Classics series edited by Tom Butler-Bowdon, this edition features an introduction from writer, economist, and historian Niall Kishtainy.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Does work give our lives purpose, meaning and status Or is it a tedious necessity that will soon be abolished by automation, leaving humans free to enjoy a life of leisure and basic income In this erudite and highly readable book, Jon Cruddas MP argues that it is imperative that the Left rejects the siren call of technological determinism and roots it politics firmly in the workplace. Drawing from his experience of his own Dagenham and Rainham constituency, he examines the history of Marxist and social democratic thinking about work in order to critique the fatalism of both Blairism and radical left techno-utopianism, which, he contends, have more in common than either would like to admit. He argues that, especially in the context of COVID-19, socialists must embrace an ethical socialist politics based on the dignity and agency of the labour interest. This timely book is a brilliant intervention in the highly contentious debate on the future of work, as well as an ambitious account of how the left must rediscover its animating purpose or risk irrelevance.

People don't need to do them, but when they do, they can have a phenomenal and explosive impact. From remembering someone's first name and recalling how they prefer to take their coffee, to sending someone a handwritten 'thank you' note, they are all the little cost-nothing engagers that create the biggest, longest-lasting impressions. They show you care, they blow people away, and they make a very big difference.In Tiny Noticeable Things, best-selling author Adrian Webster shares his ideas along with the personal experiences of over 100 contributors to help you harness the power of TNTs and take your organisation and personal relationships to the next level.Discover the tiny tweaks that elevate the most successful teams to astounding heights, find out what makes employees genuinely happy, hear from customers about the subtle 'human' touches that have put smiles on their faces, and gain invaluable insights into how just the smallest of things can give such a positive lift to those around us.If you want to differentiate yourself, don't overlook the TNTs!WARNING - THIS BOOK COULD SERIOUSLY IMPACT YOUR BUSINESS'I often say at work no-one can help everyone but everyone can help someone. I once had one of three hundred volunteers on a community build say 'I can't believe there's generosity on such a scale.' The truth was each of those people gave what they could but the sum of those individual gifts of time and skill built a facility that changed vulnerable people's lives. That for me is what TNTs are all about.'Nick Knowles - TV Presenter & Motivational Speaker.
