Everyday, low-cost, and mass-produced items gathered from around the world showcasing innovative design. This book presents a delightful collection of mass-produced objects that provide insight into the things that surround us. Common items such as nails, plugs, toothbrushes, soap, gloves, and sweets have their own function and differ in design from country to country and region to region. Some are examples of good and practical design, while others fail to fulfill their function. The collection shows an appreciation to detail by revealing how things are made and a sensitivity to the tasks people carry out, all the while keeping in mind the basic utilitarian design of these inexpensive everyday objects. The items come from a range of countries, including the United States, Japan, France, and Thailand, and were purchased from small local shops. More than design souvenirs that celebrate local culture, they all involve an idea about function—and in most cases the "designer" is unknown. The book is designed by Graphic Thought Facility and illustrated with over 150 newly commissioned photographs by Angela Moore. The objects are organized thematically, with concise captions that clarify the individual function of each item, exposing what is not always apparent from looking.

The modern world is networked and always working. Organizations no longer have the luxury of time. Expertise is no longer confined to a couple of smart guys in corner offices, reviewing information to which only they have access and issuing instructions through layers of middle-men to nine-to-fivers who carry out the dictates and feed paper back up the chain, awaiting the next set of instructions. Today’s successful organization is decentralized and never stops moving. In fact, organizational success is a lot like soccer. Every player is both a specialist and generalist. Responsibility on the field is distributed, and everyone on the team works for everyone else. Communication among players is constant. Soccer is 90 minutes of systems thinking in action. Soccer Thinking for Management Success is by a soccer fan and player who has spent a career building and running teams and organizations. He draws on insights from leaders, known and not-so-well-known who use soccer thinking to succeed. This is not just another book on how to be a great leader by a famous person. This is a management and leadership book by, and for, the rest of us.

Lost the Plot (IMPORT) Fiver - LP 655035012810

His name and image are everywhere—from Bank of Scotland fivers to the bizarre monument in Edinburgh's city center. Scott-land presumes that the reader will have only a hazy awareness of Sir Walter Scott, and, although Stuart Kelly will offer insights into Scott's works and biography, this is emphatically not a conventional literary biography, nor is it a critical study. Partly a surreptitious autobiography.

Gifted Fiver predicted that an imminent destruction was approaching in the rabbit territory. He and Hazel went to visit the chief rabbit and tried persuade him to lead rabbits to leave the territory, but they were refused. Before the disaster struck, Fiver and Hazel led several male rabbits to leave the territory for a journey. Through several rounds of hardships, they came to Watership Down and began to set up their own new territory ... They persuaded caged rabbits to join their territory. They sent a diplomatic mission to Efrafa territory to propose marriage, but their plan failed. They conducted a life and death struggle against the autocratic leader. Finally they led a large number of female rabbits to Watership Down. However, a more dangerous battle was waiting for them ... The book is set in the beautiful natural environment, constructs a rabbit kingdom that is similar to the human society. This kingdom has its own culture, language and hierarchy system. Although this is a story about the rabbits expedition, there is a profound metaphor, mapping that people detest power and dictatorship. The book sings the praises of all fine quality of wisdom, bravery, and reflects peoples good wishes for pursuit of freedom and peace.
