 Martin Kornberger, "Strategies for Distributed and Collective Action: Connecting the Dots" English | ISBN: 0198864302 | 2022 | 240 pages | PDF | 2 MB How do we organize ourselves to accomplish shared goals? Our well-worn modes of collective action-from markets to hierarchies, from institutions to movements-have so far provided a limited vocabulary to investigate, let alone invent, new forms of open, networked, and trans-sectoral collaboration. Yet new forms of collective action are continually emerging, defined by openness, polycentricity, and plurality while still strategic and goal-oriented.
 Strategic Modelling and Business Dynamics: A feedback systems approach 2nd Edition English | 2015 | ISBN: 1118844688 | 478 Pages | EPUB | 11 MB The business environment is constantly changing and organisations need the ability to rehearse alternative futures.

Paul M. Renfro, "Stranger Danger: Family Values, Childhood, and the American Carceral State" English | ISBN: 0190913983 | 2020 | 312 pages | EPUB | 14 MB Beginning with Etan Patz's disappearance in Manhattan in 1979, a spate of high-profile cases of missing and murdered children stoked anxieties about the threats of child kidnapping and exploitation. Publicized through an emerging twenty-four-hour news cycle, these cases supplied evidence of what some commentators dubbed "a national epidemic" of child abductions committed by "strangers."  Alison Lefkovitz, "Strange Bedfellows: Marriage in the Age of Women's Liberation " English | ISBN: 081225015X | 2018 | 280 pages | PDF | 7 MB In the inaugural issue of Ms. Magazine, the feminist activist Judy Syfers proclaimed that she "would like a wife," offering a wry critique of the state of marriage in modern America. After all, she observed, a wife could provide Syfers with free childcare and housecleaning services as well as wages from a job. Outside the pages of Ms., divorced men's rights activist Charles Metz opened his own manifesto on marriage reform with a triumphant recognition that "noise is swelling from hundreds of thousands of divorced male victims." In the 1960s and 70s, a broad array of Americans identified marriage as a problem, and according to Alison Lefkovitz, the subsequent changes to marriage law at the state and federal levels constituted a social and legal revolution.  Lina Khatib, "Storytelling in World Cinemas: Contexts" English | ISBN: 0231163363 | 2013 | 224 pages | EPUB | 16 MB Storytelling in World Cinemas, Vol. 2: Contexts addresses the questions of what and why particular stories are told in films around the world, both in terms of the forms of storytelling used, and of the political, religious, historical, and social contexts informing cinematic storytelling.
