Building for Change by gestalten,Ruth Lang,Rosie Flanagan,Robert Klanten Pdf

Reduce, reuse and recycle. In today's world, there is a renewed enthusiasm for the adaptive reuse of our existing structures at different scales - from the material, to spatial, to the programmatic - and even in designing for future deconstruction and new functions. In this context, creativity is demonstrated by the ingenuity with which we might reuse that which surrounds us. This book sets out the principles of a nascent architecture which advocates the practice of care - for our planet, and for our existing buildings - but without dampening creative ambition or architectural aspirations, and which reflects a crescent interest in repopulating mid-sized cities and former industrial areas. Collecting together these strategies for the first time, this book provides inspiration and insight from the architects who have undertaken such a radical new approach. Through the compilation of an international survey of projects, this book will demonstrate how adopting key environmental strategies for reuse can be deployed to spectacular effect.

1,000 Mitzvahs by Linda Cohen Pdf

When her father passed away in 2006, Linda Cohen’s busy life as a mother, wife, and entrepreneur came to a screeching halt. She took a spiritual sabbatical to work through her grief, and she came out of it resolved to embark upon a project: perform one thousand acts of kindness—mitzvahs—to honor her father’s memory. 1,000 Mitzvahs shares Cohen’s two-and-a-half-year journey from sorrow to inspiration through simple daily acts of kindness. She presents each mitzvah as a short vignette, and the myriad forms they take—from helping the elderly to donating to good causes to baking and collecting food for others—highlight the many ways in which one person can touch the lives of others. As she pursues her quest, Cohen finds that her life is improved by these small acts—that every time she goes out of her way to do something good for someone else, she enhances her own well-being. More than a touching story of a daughter’s love for her father, 1,000 Mitzvahs is a testament to the transformational power of kindness, and a call to arms for those who would like to follow in Cohen’s footsteps with their own mitzvahs—no matter how large or how small.

Global Information Systems by Dorothy E Leidner,Tim Kayworth Pdf

Information technology has had a major impact on individuals, organizations and society over the past 50 years. There are few organizations that can afford to ignore IT and few individuals who would prefer to be without it. As managerial tasks become more complex, so the nature of the required information systems (IS) changes - from structured, routine support to ad hoc, complex enquiries at the highest levels of management. Global Information Systems aims to present the many complex and inter-related issues associated with culture in the management of information systems. The editors have selected a wide range of contemporary articles from leading experts in North America and Europe that represent a wide variety of different national and cultural environments. They offer valid explanations for, rather than simply pointing out cultural differences in articles that cover a variety of national cultures, including: China, Egypt, Finland, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Jamaica, Peru South Korea, Kuwait, Mexico, Singapore, Sweden, the United Arab Emirate, the UK, and the US.
