lgli/Capitalism, Health and Wellbeing Rethinking Economic Growth for a Healthier, Sustainable Future [AN 3729062].pdf

Capitalism, Health and Wellbeing: Rethinking Economic Growth for a Healthier, Sustainable Future Rob Noonan Emerald Publishing Limited, PS, 2024

Health inequalities are widening, and crises of obesity, physical inactivity and mental health are worsening around the world. Yet there remains a reluctance to discuss the threat capitalism poses to health and wellbeing. Offering a unique contribution to the field, Capitalism, Health and Wellbeing: Rethinking Economic Growth for a Healthier, Sustainable Future addresses the elephant in the room: economic growth. Challenging this crucial yet overlooked issue, author Rob Noonan contends that the drive for economic growth is at odds with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals to achieve a better and more sustainable future. He argues that if the ‘health for all’ goal is to be achieved, it is imperative to redesign the economic system and social progress metrics that promote productivity and consumption at the expense of health and wellbeing. While clearly outlining the challenges governments face, Noonan offers solutions on how we can reverse the accelerating trends of obesity, physical inactivity and poor mental health, as well as how we can use scientific understanding and history to improve public health and reduce health inequalities. Rooted in thoughtful evidence and achievable actions, this work empowers readers to contribute to positive transformation and create a healthier, more just and more sustainable world.

Gender Violence, the Law, and Society: Interdisciplinary Perspectives from India, Japan and South Africa (Emerald Interdisciplinary Connexions) M. Susanne Schotanus Emerald Group Publishing, Emerald Publishing, Bingley, 2022

The ebook edition of this title is Open Access, thanks to Knowledge Unlatched funding, and freely available to read online. Gender Violence, the Law, and Society analyses and explores the historical and cultural roots of issues of gender-based and sexual violence in Japan, India and South Africa. Using a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary methods, this edited collection highlights the intersection of marginalized gender and sexual identities – such as raped women, gay men and women who are victims of commodified violence – and marginalized geographic areas. Taking a structured and holistic approach, the chapters authors break down issues across three levels: violence, state, and society. By exploring case studies from the three selected geographical areas, both the roots and effects and related organization and belief systems are explored in their relations to the issues of sexual and gendered violence. The chapters expose and consider the complexities and nuances in each country in terms of their varying cultural practices, their religious and caste systems, and racial disparities, whilst exploring and expanding the understanding of the concept of violence itself. Gender Violence, the Law, and Society takes an important step towards synthesizing area-specific issues and knowledge into a more comprehensive and global body of knowledge on the apparently universal appearances of forms of sexual and gendered violence.

Gender Inequality and Its Implications on Education and Health : A Global Perspective Chandrima Chakraborty, Dipyaman Pal (Eds.) Emerald Publishing Limited, 1, 2023

Gender inequality has wide-ranging and adverse implications for all of society. For this reason, the United Nations has made it a top priority to address this issue through the Sustainable Development Goals, which state that gender equality is not only a fundamental human right but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous, and sustainable world. Gender Inequality and its Implications on Education and Health explains the different implications of gender inequality and finds solutions to our most pressing issues. The authors of these collected studies show that though in various contexts around the globe, girls and women are discouraged and prevented from receiving quality education, proper health care, women empowerment and social justice, if this exclusion is eliminated it produces many additional socio-economic gains that benefit entire societies. Focusing largely on India to explore firstly the implications of gender inequality on education and health and then gender inequality and its implications to other SDGs, the chapters extend globally to analyse countries from Asia, Australia, Africa, and Europe. Raising awareness among stakeholders and institutions to recognise the importance of gender inequality throughout the world and its various implications – especially on education and health – Gender Inequality and its Implications on Education and Health provides strategies to achieve gender equality.

Industry 4.0 and Global Businesses : A Multidisciplinary Investigation Enis Yakut (editor) Emerald Publishing Limited, Emerald Publishing, Bingley, 2022

Industry 4.0 has transformed how businesses work. It has revolutionized conventional production processes in an innovative way, enabling greater levels of efficiency across business functions as well as facilitating a more accurate and precise decision-making process. It has changed how businesses approach, understand, and use Internet and Big Data.

Industry 4.0 is already hitting the headlines on a global scale by introducing new possibilities and prospects across a variety of disciplines. However, it is not a unidimensional phenomenon. Quite the contrary, a holistic approach is essential to fully comprehend its individual, societal, and environmental repercussions which the previous three industrial revolutions failed to neither pay attention to nor to resolve. Industry 4.0 and Global Businesses: A Multidisciplinary Investigation provides a multidisciplinary perspective on the transformative effects of Industry 4.0 by aggregating original theoretical, conceptual, and empirical research. This book highlights topics ranging from international trade, b2b marketing, supply chain management, blockchain systems, big data analytics, sustainability, individuals with disabilities to smart factories, and it aims to guide researchers, practitioners as well as students.

lgli/Nigel Isaacs - Enthalpy, Moisture and Ventilation Issues in Buildings (2019, ).pdf

Enthalpy, Moisture and Ventilation Issues in Buildings : International Journal of Building Pathology and Adaptation Nigel Isaacs; Steve McNeil; William Rose Emerald Publishing Limited, International Journal of Building Pathology and Adaptation Ser, v. 4, Bradford, West Yorkshire, 2019

In the 1st century BC, Vitruvius was clear on the role of the building's roof to protect the walls and foundations from rainwater (Vitruvius Pollio et al., 1914, p. 177, Book VI, Chap 3) and the removal of the water by the use of drains (Vitruvius Pollio et al., 1914, p. 156, Book V, Chap 9). Recognised as an issue since antiquity, there has been a great deal of fragmented research on building moisture, but the topic still represents a problem area in too many buildings. Research has tended to focus on local problems, and as a result the lessons and associated knowledge are either not relevant, or more dangerously used inappropriately, for other locations or climates. This eBook brings together a wide range of international research into moisture in buildings. There are six papers from around the globe, including Europe, North America and Oceania. Three papers explore moisture issues in roof spaces, two deal with moisture in the floor and sub-floor, and one paper is about moisture in walls. The results and models reported in this eBook will contribute to a better international understanding of issues of moisture in buildings, as well as providing improved guidance to practitioners faced with either not wishing to create future moisture problems or to resolve current problems.

Formalise, prioritise and mobilise : how school leaders secure the benefits of professional ... learning networks CHRIS BROWN AND JANE FLOOD Emerald Publishing Limited, Emerald Professional Learning Networks, 1, 2019

Professional learning networks (PLN) of teachers and others (such as university researchers) collaborating outside of their everyday community of practice are considered to be an effective way to foster school improvement. At the same time, to generate change, PLNs require effective support from school leaders. Such support should be directed at ensuring those participating in PLNs can engage in network learning activities; also that this activity can be meaningfully mobilised within participant's schools. What is less well understood however are the actions school leaders might engage in to provide this support. To address this knowledge gap, this book presents a case study of how senior leaders attempted to maximise the effectiveness of participating in PLNs for one learning network: the New Forest Research Learning Network (RLN) - a specific type of PLN designed to facilitate research-informed change at scale. In-depth semi-structured interviews with RLN participants, as well as impact data and policy documents, have been used to ascertain the types of leadership practices employed and their nature (i.e. whether geared towards prioritising, formalising or mobilising the work of the PLN). Also presented is an assessment of the perceived effectiveness of these practices and suggestions for the type of leadership activity that appear to maximise the effectiveness of schools engaging in professional learning networks more generally.

Business Models and Cognition Kristian J. Sund (editor), Robert J. Galavan (editor), Marcel Bogers (editor) Emerald Publishing Limited, New Horizons in Managerial and Organizational Cognition, 2020

The concept of the business model has become very popular in the strategy and innovation literature's. Recent research has acknowledged its cognitive underpinnings, its status as a mental construct, and has highlighted how managers cognitive and social sense-making patterns influence business model design and how shared logics enable innovation. Yet, the specific cognitive underpinnings of business models, though often mentioned, are rarely explicitly studied. Business Models and Cognition addresses this gap by focusing directly on intersections between business model studies and cognitive studies. Gathering an international, multidisciplinary team of business model and cognition scholars, this book not only identifies surprising connections between these two existing literature's, but also offers new reflections on future avenues of research for both in order to explore the cognitive foundations of business modelling. For its interdisciplinary scope, scholarly rigor, and novel insights, this fourth volume of the New Horizons in Managerial and Organizational Cognition is a must-read for scholars and students of business, strategy and cognition, and it is of keen interest to executives and managers eager to reflect critically on their own understanding of the business model as a concept.

Duty to Revolt : Transnational and Commemorative Aspects of Revolution George Souvlis; Athina Karatzogianni Emerald Group Publishing, Emerald Publishing, Bingley, 2023

Throughout the 19th century, revolutionary movements united intellectuals, artists, dissidents, and significant segments of the population in joint crusades in the name of justice or liberation against empires and aristocratic elites, often across class, religious, race and national lines. Duty to Revolt takes the Greek Revolution as a foundational historical departure point to investigate historical continuities and discontinuities in transnational and commemorative aspects of revolutionary wars. This edited collection provides an innovative and comprehensive contribution to the study of historical revolutions and their commemoration, as well as contemporary protests and uprisings, and how they are communicated today in everyday networked media. Duty to Revolt is the first work of its kind to take an interdisciplinary approach across historical time on this subject and bringing together leading and emerging scholars in several fields, merging history and political science with digital media and communication studies.

The Romance of Heroism and Heroic Leadership George R. Goethals; Scott T. Allison Emerald Publishing Limited, Emerald Publishing, Bingley, UK, 2019

Heroes permeate our culture. From superheroes on screen to the everyday heroics of our public services, the word 'hero' is a familiar descriptor in every form of media. But what makes a hero? And what makes heroes 'heroic'?Leadership experts George R. Goethals and Scott T. Allison explore how the romantic conceptions of heroes and heroic leaders are constructed, both in real life and in our heads. Looking at the dichotomy of heroism and villainy, they offer insights into Donald Trump's ascension to the US presidency, particularly detailing the correspondence between the needs of the US public and the promises the former reality TV star made in reply. They also consider how three highly charismatic men dramatically and fundamentally changed American society in the mid-twentieth century - Martin Luther King (1929-1968), Elvis Presley (1935-1977), and Muhammad Ali (1942-2016), called here the "Three Kings" of the US. This exciting and innovative study explores how charisma and human needs create images of individuals as heroes and villains. For researchers and students of psychology and leadership, this is a fundamental text on the creation of both genuine heroes, and false idols

The first two decades of the new millennium brought with it a chain of crises and reaction headlined by the plane-bombing of New York's Trade Center twin towers, the financial crash of 2007-8 and subsequent austerity, and latterly Brexit, the rise and fall (for now) of Donald Trump, including the Capitol attack, and Covid-19. The health and political aspects of the virus are discussed in the context of planetary well-being and climate change. Crises and Popular Dissent brings these apparently disparate issues into focus by addressing five thematic questions: Why from being the hegemonic global ideology did liberalism go into crisis? What do populists want that liberalism is not providing? Why is nationalism so important to right populists? What part might social movements play in a progressive revival? What might a participatory democratic and progressive future mean for the planet and the species? The concluding chapter is interactive asking readers to consider issues raised in the text as individuals and members of groups. O'Donnell's main focus is on liberalism and populism in the United States, Europe and Britain, arguing for an internationalist rather than nationalist perspective and response to the turmoil of the period. A pattern emerges of right populism primarily as a reactive phenomenon to immigration mediated by nationalism, partly obscuring causes of structural inequality exacerbated by neoliberalism. Particular attention is given to left social movement movements such as Extinction Rebellion and Black Lives Matter in building a left radical response. O'Donnell provides an informed, integrated and distinctive approach to the recent evolution of popular dissent.

lgli/Steven Gerrard & Samantha Holland & ROBERT SHAIL [Gerrard, Steven & Holland, Samantha & SHAIL, ROBERT] - Gender and Contemporary Horror in Television (2019, Emerald).pdf

Gender and Contemporary Horror in Television Steven Gerrard & Samantha Holland & ROBERT SHAIL [Gerrard, Steven & Holland, Samantha & SHAIL, ROBERT] Emerald Publishing Limited, Emerald studies in popular culture and gender, First edition, Bingley, UK, 2019

The successful return of horror to our television screens in the post-millennial years, and across a multi-media range of platforms, demonstrates that this previously moribund genre is once again vibrant, challenging and long-lasting. The traditional TV audience of the past would have watched very few horror TV shows, because not many were made. But that has changed. Programme makers have tapped into their public's insatiable need - in these days of terrorism, violence and mayhem - to provide programmes that have high production values, engaging storylines, and plenty of frights and gore. Horror TV offers a safety-valve for its audience, one that enables them to enter into it from the safety of their armchairs. The era of instant access, streaming, downloading and binge-watching whole seasons over a weekend, where fandom has blossomed into a cultural force, clearly shows horror as a vital part of today's TV scheduling. This edited collection investigates the rising popularity of horror-television through deconstructing the gender roles within them via series of case studies including such programmes as Hannibal, American Horror Story, The Walking Dead, Penny Dreadful, Supernatural, The Exorcist and Bates Motel. By using a series of case studies and employing theoretical modes of close analysis, each chapter demonstrates how and why these TV shows are important in reflecting the changing gender roles within modern society.

lgli/Samantha Holland & ROBERT SHAIL & Steven Gerrard [Holland, Samantha & SHAIL, ROBERT & Gerrard, Steven] - Gender and Contemporary Horror in Film (2019, Emerald).pdf

Gender and Contemporary Horror in Film (Emerald Studies in Popular Culture and Gender) Samantha Holland & ROBERT SHAIL & Steven Gerrard [Holland, Samantha & SHAIL, ROBERT & Gerrard, Steven] Emerald Publishing Limited; Emerald Publishing Ltd, Emerald studies in popular culture and gender, First edition, Bingley, UK, 2019

The horror genre will always remain current because it reflects our anxieties, shining a light onto our worst fears whilst creating worlds defined by darkness. Horror as a genre has always engaged with era-specific societal mores and moral panics, often about isolation or abandonment, changing family values and the role of women. It is often specifically about how gender is constructed in everyday life. Women are commonly defined in horror by their passivity, or monstrosity/sexuality or victimhood - or a mix of the three. At the same time women in horror are forced into psychological and physical torture ending in violent showdowns in which they emerge damaged but triumphant. Bringing together research from a wide range of established and emerging scholars this edited collection provides an insight into how modern horror films portray femininities, sexualities, masculinities, ageing, and other current issues, exploring the use of vampires, zombies, werewolves and ghosts in films made internationally. This volume, one of three by the same editorial team examining the horror genre, focuses on gender and contemporary horror in film, asking questions about how and if representations of gender in horror have changed. In these readings and re-readings, the authors examine developments in films about vampires, zombies, werewolves and ghosts, in films made internationally.

Corruption, Accountability and Discretion (Public Policy and Governance) Nancy S. Lind; Cara E. Rabe-Hemp Emerald Publishing Limited, Emerald Publishing, [N.p.], 2017

The corruption of public officials in the United States and its corrosive impact on public policy, political stability and democratic institutions, earns it a spot among the most critical public crises of the last decade. There have been scandals involving elected officials across the political spectrum from local elected officials up to the White House, involving conflicts of interest, campaign fundraising and political elections. At the heart of many scandals is the discretionary power of public officials to make decisions based on personal interest, often leading to corruption. Understanding the nature and etiology of corruption is important to drafting controls on discretion and rules for accountability. While strict regulation and oversight mechanisms have previously been designed to encourage ethical decision-making and punish violators, it is the media and citizens that have increasingly become modern mechanisms of accountability. Corruption of public governance not only undermines the effectiveness of the political system; it also results in corrupt public policymaking on the most pressing issues facing Americans today. This timely and insightful book provides the key elements needed to understand the nature and prevalence of corruption in public governance, as well as the devastating public policy consequences. The chapters explore the implications of public governance corruption on political stability, public trust, and policymaking, as well as recommendations for how to establish controls on discretion and strict regulation to increase accountability and corruption control in public governance.

Progress In Psychobiology and Physiological Psychology, Volume 18 (Progress in Psychobiology and Physiological Psychology) Steven J Fluharty; Harvey J Grill Emerald Group Publishing Limited, Progress in psychobiology and physiological psychology, Bingley, 2009

Covers a broad range of topics in behavioral neuroscience. This work reviews the status of the field of circadian neurobiology. It focuses on the mammalian suprachiasmatic nucleus system emphasizing inputs to the 'clock', their neurochemical phenotype, and outputs from the 'clock' to behavioral and other effector systems. For 31 years, "Progress in Psychobiology and Physiological Psychology" has provided cutting-edge literature to behavioral neuroscience research. Volume 18 includes four original chapters covering a broad range of contemporary topics in behavioral neuroscience. In the first of these, Alan Rosenwasser skillfully reviews the current status of the rapidly developing field of circadian neurobiology. He focuses on the mammalian suprachiasmatic nucleus system emphasizing inputs to the 'clock', their neurochemical phenotype, and outputs from the 'clock' to behavioral and other effector systems. Another virtue of this chapter is its integration of current data and organizing principles drawn from the analysis of non-vertebrates species and cellular system. Next, Lori Flanagan-Catos essay focuses on the neuroendocrine controls of female reproductive behavior in the rat. She first reviews research from her own laboratory that utilizes pseudo-rabies viral tract tracing to identify pathways from the VMH through the periaqueductal gray, medullary reticulospinal and terminating on motor neurons in lumbar ventral horn that innervate the female flank muscles. She then goes on to describe more recent experiments suggesting that estrogen may modulate the synaptic strength of this circuit by controlling dendritic spines on neurons intrinsic to the VMH, as well as those that project to lordosis relevant brain circuitry. The elucidation of these estrogen-induced changes within a defined neural circuit emphasizes why the study of lordosis continues to be one of the best models to investigate hormones and their effects on behavior. The last few years have witnessed unprecedented advances in our understanding of the neurobiological controls of feeding behavior. This period of rapid discovery was ushered in by the identification of leptin as an adiposity hormone that acts in the brain to control food intake and energy expenditure commensurate with fat stores. Since its discovery by Friedman and colleagues in 1995, progress has been swift in identifying the many neurochemical systems in the brain that are regulated by leptin. Almost all of this research has focused on the final common path of ingestion, food consumption during a meal. However, as Tim Bartness points out in his chapter, the long term regulation of food intake and energy homeostasis is a much richer landscape involving many adaptive changes in food searching strategies and storage. Finally, the development of strategies for unraveling the taste sensory code is at the heart of Alan Spector's contribution. He and his associates employ a research strategy that combines psychophysical analysis of taste-guided behavior with selective gustatory receptive field denervation to investigate the hypothesis that taste nerves innervate functionally specialized populations of taste receptors. Spector reviews a fascinating set of findings from his laboratory and integrates these results with current information on taste receptors, taste systems neuroscience, neural development and recovery of function. Volume 18 is the last volume to be published in this serial

Flapjacks and Feudalism : Social Mobility and Class in The Archers Cara Courage, Nicola Headlam Emerald Publishing Limited, Emerald Publishing, Bingley, UK, 2021

Flapjacks and Feudalism: Social Mobility and Class in The Archers is an excavation into the family and class politics found in the clans of the residents of Ambridge, in BBC Radio 4's The Archers. A whole section of the book is devoted to'The Fall of the House of Aldridge', with Brian's ethical misdemeanours and fall from grace, looking at how Brian could have hidden his scandals and changed the impressions surrounding him as a'feckless farmer'. Another section sees the parenting skills, or complete lack of them, of the Ambridge clans put on trial, and used to predict the future leaders of Ambridge. Chapters in the book discuss the power of family and community networks, the oppression of the Grundys by the lords of the manor, and Emma Grundy's housing woes and the importance of housing in the success and security of those in the village. This book explores how far housing, intergenerational wealth, skills and access to employment shape life chances of characters and shows that, perhaps more than anywhere else, its not what you know but who you know.

Health Management 2.0 : Transformational Leadership for Challenging Times Usman Khan; Federico Lega Emerald Publishing Limited, Emerald Publishing, United Kingdom, 2021

From precision medicine to pandemics, from value-based healthcare to stakeholder engagement, European health systems are facing unprecedented change. How can health managers cope with these challenges and what skills and competencies will they need to deliver transformational change in the'new normality'? This original volume presents a blueprint for Health Management 2.0 and helps set a path for long-term health system sustainability. Along with a comparative European framework to illustrate current developments in health management, the authors also highlight five key change drivers: integration; personalization; empowerment; digitalization; and life sciences, and examine how each is enabling the development of health systems that are fundamentally different from those of today. With fresh insights for managers, educators, researchers and policy makers, Health Management 2.0 promotes a modern interdisciplinary and dynamic approach to health leadership and management - one that focuses on skills and competencies - and outlines international best practice for future teaching and training.

nexusstc/Vulnerability to Natural Disasters: The Case of Vietnam’s Mekong Delta/1a06fd413bc324f5f7384952961e40f0.pdf

Vulnerability to Natural Disasters: The Case of Vietnam’s Mekong Delta Kien Nguyen-Trung Emerald Publishing Limited, Place of publication not identified, 2019

In late 2015, the El Nĩno phenomenon induced Vietnam’s worst drought in 60 years, which lasted until mid-2016 and intensified the most expansive saline intrusion in 90 years. The combination of the two hazards resulted in a large-scale disaster, which has led 18 provinces of Vietnam, most of them from the Mekong Delta, to water shortage, insanitation, human and animal diseases, food emergency need and a considerable disruption in local communities’ livelihoods. These devastating effects raise the question of what makes local households vulnerable to drought and saline intrusion. The chapter argues that vulnerability to the natural disaster is not something resulted from external threats, but rather, is derived from the interplay between social structures residing deeply inside the socio-economic systems and agency’s conditions presenting at the household level. Social structures are rules and procedures that constrain and/or enable human actions in agricultural production, risk taking and adaptation. Agency refers to the capacities of disaster-affected households in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta who cultivated third rice crop and suffered heavily from the 2015–2016 disaster. In addition to households’ lack of planning and coping capacities, the constitution of vulnerability to drought and saline intrusion can be attributed to the interaction between farmers’ choice of extra rice crops and the state’s policies and directions in agricultural and irrigation development since 1990s to date.

Designing creative organizations : tools, processes and practices Igor Hawryszkiewycz Emerald Group Publishing Limited, Online access with EBA: Emerald Business, Management & Economics, Bingley, 2016

'Designing Creative Organizations' is one of the first books to cover ways to organize creativity, innovation and business model development in a way that provides a seamless transition from an idea generated through team brainstorming to a business solution. It provides systematic ways to design new business models, and how to choose technologies to support them. By defining agility as continuous business model innovation, the book describes how organizations can become agile in an increasingly complex and disruptive world. Drawing on current developments, the book examines both large and medium-sized organizations successfully creating a design-centric culture to encourage innovation in their products and in the ways that they engage with clients. Design-centric culture is seen here as one where people throughout the business ask the question: 'how do I design my business to make things work better', rather than 'how do I use the existing system to do something'. This book will be of value to all those who are designing business systems in volatile environments and for students and researchers of innovation, design thinking, business model design and product development

Demystifying China’s Mega Trends : The Driving Forces That Will Shake Up China and the World Chi Lo Emerald Group Publishing Limited, Emerald Publishing, United Kingdom, 2017

The biggest causes of dissatisfaction in the current analysis of China's mega trends is the lack of serious economic research effort. This has resulted in confusion and misunderstanding about the development and direction of mega trends and blind acceptance of these trends. This all leads to potentially erroneous business and policy decisions and reactions to the emergence of China. This new book examines the structural forces behind mega trends in China, refuting conventional wisdom and demystifying media and market hype. It aims to bridge the gap between the East and the West, and academic and market studies of China by examining China's macroeconomic mega trends through the lens of rigorous economic research and evidence and taking a critical approach to question and assess the evolution of these mega trends. Coverage of China's mega trends in this book is not meant to be exhaustive, as new trends will emerge over time and the existing trends will keep on evolving.

Theorizing the Sharing Economy (Research in the Sociology of Organizations) (Research in the Sociology of Organizations, 66) Indre Maurer, Johanna Mair, Achim Oberg Emerald Publishing Limited; Emerald Publishing, Research in the sociology of organizations, First edition, United Kingdom, 2020

The sharing economy is one of the most influential developments of the last decade. The emergence of new forms of organizing it brings with it has affected modern (business) life at multiple levels: Sharing organizations have blurred the distinction between the individual roles of provider, user, and employee; they have introduced organizational practices of coordinating members and communities; and they have sparked societal, political, and economic debates in multiple fields. These dynamics at the individual, organizational, and field level provide an opportunity for organization scholars to take stock of and theorize the sharing economy. This volume takes advantage of this opportunity by presenting a collection of empirical and conceptual work that explores the variety and the trajectories of new forms of organizing in the sharing economy, and in doing so builds on, rejuvenates, and refines existing organization theories. Together, the chapters included in this volume offer a comprehensive overview of theoretically grounded research that deepens our understanding of new forms of organizing and indicates future avenues for research.

The Notorious ESG : Business, Climate, and the Race to Save the Planet Vasuki Shastry; Emerald Publishing Limited, Emerald Publishing, Bingley, 2023

Environment, Social, Governance (ESG) has become the noun, verb, and adjective of the modern business era. Faced with societal and regulatory pressure, big business in America, Asia, and Europe has been forced to define and articulate ESG goals to combat climate change and save the planet. The only problem is that ESG has been captured by the PR hype machine as a few prominent business leaders make bold promises to save the planet but are vague about how they propose to achieve this. Eager to showcase their green credentials, companies are making all kinds of promises to reduce their carbon footprint and to play their part in reducing global warming and improving social outcomes. How to separate fact from fiction and exaggerated commitments from realistic goals? Vasuki Shastry spent several years at the coal face itself – running ESG for a major international bank in the City of London – and argues that corporate cultures are too focused on the profit motive and quarterly business targets. Change can only really come through a paradigm shift for business which aligns business with social purpose. Getting there will require a corporate revolution which will disrupt and dislodge the ancien régime and usher in a new age of sustainable business. The author offers a solution in the form of a Climate Manifesto for Business that will Make Our Planet Great Again!

Digital Detox: The Politics of Disconnecting (SocietyNow) Syvertsen, Trine; Lefkow, Laurel Emerald Publishing Limited, SocietyNow, First edition, Bingley, 2020

Social media and smartphones are criticised for being addictive, destroying personal relationships, undermining productivity, and invading privacy. In this book, Trine Syvertsen explores the phenomenon of digital detox: users taking a break from digital media or adopting measures to limit smartphone and social media use. Based on studies, documents, media texts and interviews with media users, Syvertsen discusses how media industries intensify the quest for attention, how companies and governments team up to get everybody online, and how the main responsibility for managing online risks and problems are placed on the users' shoulders. She provides a rich account of how users reduce their online engagement through time-limitations, restrictions on smartphone use, productivity apps, and use of analogue media. Syvertsen shows how digital detoxing has much in common with other forms of self-help such as mindfulness, decluttering and simple living and places digital detox within a culture of self-optimisation. But digital detox is also about sustaining face-to-face conversations, better work-life-balance, a deeper connection with nature and more meaningful interpersonal relationships. With a wealth of examples, analyses and stories, Digital Detox is a valuable guide to why digital detox and disconnection has become a topic, how it is practised, what it says about the state of media industries and how people express resistance in the 21st century.
