It is 2023 and our intrepid Cape Cod health, safety, and environmental consultants, who some call the best in the business, are continuing to travel globally to help those in everyday headlines with their S, H, & E crises. Client problems range from military to millinery; autism to engulfment; Ukraine to San Francisco's historic Cliff House; Amazon to Mexican pig farms; confined spaces to massive Texas large garbage dumps; civil war submarine health to Boston light rail safety; and all manner of issues with the world's new energy needs. Our consultants encounter people against nature, people against people, people against the dangerous machinery their own imaginations had created, people against misinformation, people against deliberate false information, people taking bad risks, and man's hubris toward outwitting obvious perils. These are all cutting-edge challenges for our savvy crew of experts. Can they make a difference? Will they make a difference? If not, how likely is the planet's future if they don't make a difference? Entertaining, informative, educational, and mostly fun reading!

How to take a political beating and surviveIn the struggle for a better world, setbacks are inevitable. Defeat can feel overwhelming at times, but it has to be endured. How then do the people on the front line keep going? To answer that question and to help readers roll with the punches, Hannah Proctor draws on historical resources to find out how revolutionaries and activists of the past kept a grip on hope.Burnout considers former Communards exiled to a penal colony in the South Pacific; a young Bolshevik fleeing the city in despair; an ex-militant on the analyst’s couch relating dreams of ruined landscapes; a trade union organizer seeking advice from a spiritual healer; and a group of feminists padding a room with mattresses to scream about the patriarchy. Jettisoning therapy talk and its stranglehold on our language, Proctor offers a different way forward—neither denial nor despair. Her cogent exploration of the ways militants make sense of their own burnout demonstrates that it is possible to mourn and organize at once, and to do both without compromise.[ENDORSEMENTS TK][logo]SUBJECT LINE [INITIAL CAP ONLY]: PoliticsRETAIL PRICES [DOMESTIC MARKET FIRST]: £14.99 / $24.95 / $33.95CANversobooks.comISBN-13: 9781839766053

"Between Freedom and Security" is an attempt at an interdisciplinary, humanistic-technical consideration of the problem of the need of the self-realizing human being to meet the requirements imposed on him by, among other things, technical norms and legal regulations, which in a certain sense form the framework for his functioning (in a sense the limitation of the individual) and his subjective reception of freedom. Recognizing that the need for freedom and the need for security are constitutive for the self-realizing subject, the contributors present the different aspects of security and the constraints associated with it, and make suggestions for bridging the existing dissonance between what is objectively necessary and what is subjectively and individually justified.

The most powerful technology ever known is already in place--your brain. As incredible as that organ is, it hasn't received an update.

As one of the leading authorities on human performance and workplace well-being, Smolensky knows that just as we need to work out our muscles to get physically stronger, our brains need exercise to be more resilient and aware.

Do you want to make a difference? There are many ways someone in a leadership role can have a positive impact on the lives of their employees. Perhaps there is no leadership responsibility more profound than creating a sustainable, injury-free workplace. Every person who goes to work expects to return home in the same condition. When someone is hurt, the adverse effects of their injury ripple through the employee's family and friends. Achieving an injury-free environment is one of the most difficult problems many leaders face. Indeed, during 35 years in manufacturing I never discovered a singular solution to this challenge. However, over these years I observed quite a few leadership actions that significantly contributed to less risk-taking, greater hazard awareness and genuine collaborative efforts among employees and supervisors. Leaders who understood, embraced, and implemented these strategies saw a dramatic reduction in incidents and injuries at their facilities. Organizations with the best safety performances do not have a secret. They simply do a lot of small things collectively and strategically well.That's really what this book is about. It is a collection of leadership concepts, thoughts, words, and actions that (when strategically implemented) can move your organization toward a better safety future. The first section of the book takes a look at some fundamental concepts everyone who is striving to achieve safety excellence should understand. It includes a discussion on compliance versus commitment, how to develop a safety strategy, why people make mistakes and take risks, and an overview of a Just Culture. The core of the book reviews key research findings in social psychology, sociology and neuroscience. I share personal experiences of highly effective leadership. And I recount other situations that exemplify the wrong approach. In each case, I discuss how you can leverage these concepts in a practical way to improve your safety leadership skills. At the end of each chapter, there is a segment called the SAFETY LEADER'S TOOLBOX, which contains over 70 practical tools and tips for being a more effective safety leader! Readers are encouraged to consult this toolbox for small changes in what you think, say, and do to shape your safety culture. Where do you begin? Start with a "Why" of caring. If you start with caring as your personal motive, you won't have to do everything perfectly. Your employees will want to do the right things for the right reasons.
