Book SynopsisâWhatever your experience, whether youâre working in healthcare already, maybe thinking about a career in healthcare, or simply an interested bystander, this book will change what you do, in your work, and in your life.â Captain Martin Bromiley OBE, Airline Pilot and Founder of the Clinical Human Factors GroupHealthcare is full of brilliant, dedicated people but the conditions we work in often mean we fall short of the care we want to give. Mistakes arenât usually the result of bad individuals; they are the predictable outcome of poorly designed systems and cultures that donât make safety easy. When staff donât feel supported or listened to, it is almost impossible for them to deliver safe care.This book was written for the entire multidisciplinary teamâdoctors, nurses, allied health professionals, managers, educators, students, indeed anyone and everyone involved in delivering or improving careâand is an essential guide to recognising the human and organisational factors that shape our actions and learning how to do better. It draws a straight line from staff well-being and psychological safety, connecting these directly to the techniques needed to deliver safe and effective patient care.Practical and accessible, and sometimes light-hearted, this book focuses on real clinical stories, reflections from the frontline and a healthy dose of honesty about how tough healthcare can be for staff and patients. Itâs also packed with simple, doable changes that anyone can implement, whatever your role or seniority. From improving communication, reducing error or learning how to speak up, these are tools you can start using tomorrow to make care safer for both staff and patients.If youâre fed up with tick boxes, jargon or lip-service to safety, and you want something to make things better and effect real change, this is the book for you.The Author TeamRob Galloway is an Emergency Medicine Consultant at University Hospitals Sussex and Honorary Clinical Professor at Brighton and Sussex Medical School, UK.Eleanor Crossley is an ST7 Specialist Registrar in Otolaryngology in the South London Deanery, UK.Mitul Patel is an Anaesthetic Registrar in South London, UK.

Book SynopsisMoved Earth explores discarded fill to construct designed landscapes from a designerâs perspective. Some geologists estimate that humans now move more earth than natural processes. The 20th century saw an increase of âmade groundâ and of discarded fill production, accompanied by the fact that an âawayâ for waste disposal no longer exists. So far, discarded fill materials have been addressed predominantly in a technical way.This book shows how discarded fill offers opportunities to construct significant designed landscapes, with designers playing a positive role in a multidisciplinary environment. Legible constructedness can communicate the nature of these landscapes, in contrast with approaches that tend to hide this aspect in naturalâlooking landscapes or through camouflage. Moved Earth addresses issues of design, form, and aesthetics; materials and meanings; openness and closure; processes and material movements; technical aspects; and the role of the designer. Thirty-one international examples and four case studies are included, ranging from an unconstructed project for an artificial island with a garden hill envisioned by Alvise Cornaro in Renaissance Venice to three contemporary projects: Spectacle Island (US) designed by Brown Richardson + Rowe; Sigirino Depot (Switzerland) by Atelier Girot; and the Tejo and TrancÃo Park (Portugal) by PROAP/Hargreaves Associates.Moved Earth offers readers a unique insight into the opportunities discarded fill offers designers and is essential reading for landscape architects.

Book SynopsisIn the realm of safety management, this book embarks on a profound exploration of how the political economy was reshaped in the last two decades. Much like privatization, deregulation, and financialization altered the economic landscape, this narrative unveils how safety management has been affected by the intertwined dynamics of asset underinvestment, privatization, self-regulation, workplace flexibilization, and market-driven policies.This book, the second installment of a thought-provoking trilogy on the consequences of neoliberalism, mirrors the political economy''s promotion of the private sector''s role in the economy. Just as neoliberalism amplified and accelerated the mechanisms of human-made disasters in complex systems, this narrative lays bare the heightened potential for safety misfortunes when governed by market-driven principles.As the story unfolds, the book delves into the concept of ''synoptic legibility'' in safety management, akin to how the pol

Book SynopsisThis book introduces readers to the historical roots of the key events, issues, and themes in the post-World War II period since 1945.Organized by region âEurope, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin Americaâ it uses case studies to emphasize common themes and patterns. The book argues that the colonial period largely shaped the primary global relationships that still hold in the world today. During and after de-colonization, the Cold War emerged as the dominant global paradigm, but following the collapse of communism, a neo-liberal capitalist agenda prevailed in much of the world, although that has in turn shifted due to the global financial crisis of the late 2000s/early 2010s. The book explores these themes as well as terrorism and the environmental degradation of the planet which are major features of the post-Cold War world, along with racial/ethnic/religious diversity and conflict, democracy, human rights, nationalism, and gender relations.This volume is an essential resource for students of Contemporary World History, the World Since 1945, and the World in the Twentieth Century more broadly.

The text outlines nine clear ways to make graphics more understandable, explores the importance of the audience, shows you how to make information come alive during presentations through live-action performance' graphics, discusses why joy and smiling are good for you, and shows you how not to overdo it. The author website, featuring enlargeable graphics, can be found here: https://www.joyfulinfographics.com/.Even if a subject is delicate, controversial, or taboo, being graphically friendly to the audience is the right way to eTrade Review"This glorious project positions the word muse in the larger word amusing. Nigel’s modesty and the extent of the publications and innovations that he has brought uniquely to the profession of graphic design, information design, information architecture, explanation design and illustration is certainly enough to put him in the pantheon of the finest graphic designers of the late 20th and now the 21st century. He is one of my muses."-Richard Saul Wurman, Architect, Graphic Designer, Author, and Founder of TED"This is essential reading for information professionals, academics and students. Arguments about the way that information should be presented have been going on for decades. This subject resonates with anyone in the field, professional or academic. When presenting information, the balance between a serious approach and a lighter one is always a factor. It is all about engaging the intended audience. "-John Grimwade, School of Visual Communication, Ohio University, USA"Nigel Holmes has helped shape the standards of modern infographics like no other. His infographics are easily accessible, well-structured and - of course - fact-based. Nigel's body of work spans all types of infographics: charts, factual representations, and maps. They are memorized quickly and their information can be remembered accurately: this is mainly because they are designed to be light-hearted, humorous and confident. How Nigel plans, develops and designs infographics is a lesson par excellence. That's why Nigel Holmes' infographic work is not only required reading for my students: Understanding Nigel's approach to infographic design and his infographics' internal structure must be understood by my students in order to pass the course. This book will be in our library."-Michael Stoll, Augsburg University of Applied Sciences, Germany"Nigel’s fantastic work feeds the need to learn from the past in order to create more work like this today. It is a fantastic guide that informs as much as it entertains."-Jason Forrest, Editor-in-Chief, Nightingale: the journal of the Data Visualization Society"One of the best things with Nigel’s graphics is his approach, the stories are always smart and contemporary, with a good balance of information and humor. Readers will be inspired to read information in this positive way." -Fernando Gomez Baptista, National Geographic"Few things are as important for designers now as being able to effectively translate big data into memorable, meaningful, and concise graphics. Nigel Holmes has spent decades fostering human connection and understanding through joyful infographics. In this book, he applies his world-renowned brainy and playful approach to teach the next generation of graphic communicators how to master his craft."-Amanda Hostalka, Dean, School of Design, Stevenson University, USA"I am a huge fan of Nigel Holmes’ ability to infuse joy and humanity into science graphics. He even managed to inject life into an explanatory diagram about group theory and the mathematical underpinnings of symmetry, providing brilliant design details that acted as a welcoming gesture for folks new to the topic."-Jen Christiansen, senior graphics editor, Scientific American"Sign and symbol languages appear to be enjoying a 21st century renaissance as part of the expanding universe of digital data visualization. New ways of presenting the floods of data on literally everything has made it necessary to increase data literacy. What better way than through humor? Who better than the data viz pioneer, Nigel Holmes?" -Steven Heller, Author, co-chair MFA Design, School of Visual Arts, USA"Nigel Holmes is terrific."–Tim Harford, Author, Senior Columnist, Financial Times“Joyful Infographics itself is as friendly as Holmes’s graphic design work. The book is filled with examples of imaginative infographics. And he draws from a wide range of examples; readers can study visuals from fields as diverse as human physiology, advertising, and the Olympic games. Holmes also grounds his work in history: Chapter 3 traces visual representations of information throughout history, referencing everything from the Chauvet cave paintings to Henry Beck’s Tube maps, from the Bayeux Tapestry to emojis. Holmes also provides actionable instructions for designers. Chapter 4 offers nine techniques to make infographics more engaging, and Chapter 9 warns “Don’t do this!” and provides examples of how not to design infographics. Following his guidelines will help designers keep the humanity in their visual communication. In a time when many communication professionals are wondering how much of our work artificial intelligence can do, it’s a good reminder that it takes the human touch to communicate data in a way that audiences want to engage with.”--Elizabeth Hardin, University of Alabama, USA, Technical Communication, Volume 70, Number 3, August 2023Table of Contents0.

Book SynopsisWhat is the role of architecture â and the architect â in the Anthropocene?Itâs an immutable fact: human activity is driving the climate and biodiversity crises that now threaten all life. The damage we inflict on the planet undermines basic human rights, displaces millions, and intensifies structural racism, sexism and segregation, with the greatest burden falling on the most vulnerable people and ecosystems.Architects must act.The design and construction of most buildings and urban environments today are rooted in an economic model that pursues infinite growth. Our profession is embedded in a paradigm that favours individual gain over collective benefit. We are rewarded for overlooking the interdependence between people and the natural world. Architecture contributes directly to environmental degradation and social injustice.Architects agree that the profession must change. But we lack the tools and knowledge to undertake the transformations that are urgently needed. This book aims to address that need through 15 chapters illustrating how we can act collectively to make a difference.Architectural Thinking in a Climate Emergencybrings together writers, researchers, educators, students and practitioners working at the forefront of this transformation. Contributors come from fourteen countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, North and South America and Oceania. Many are leading voices in their fields; others are emerging thinkers introducing fresh perspectives from both academia and practice.Above all, they each affirm the architectâs responsibility to help transition toward carbon-neutral, sustainable practices that advance social and environmental justice.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

Staying true to â and promoting renewed awareness of â the diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds of most commedia troupes, his work has also done a great deal to democratize this central pillar of European theatre, placing the actor and the audience squarely at the centre of his craft.This book includes the following:â A biographical account of Bosoâs route into commedia, his foundational work and the significance of his practice to contemporary performance.â An extended interview that allows Boso to set out in his own words the key elements of his work and his vision of an articulate, politically and socially engaged actor.â A detailed analysis of his production of La Pazzia di Isabella with TAG Teatro, providing an object lesson in how to make a centuries-old scenario suitable for touring 250 performances across nine countries.â A developmental series of exercises for approaching improvisation material, as well as mask work, composition, music and acrobatics.As a first step towards critical understanding, and as an initial exploration before going on to further, primary research, Routledge Performance Practitioners offer unbeatable value for todayâs student.

Book SynopsisWorld of Sport examines the development of modern sport from the mid-nineteenth century to the 1960s in the light of transnational approaches to history.Critically probing existing studies and offering new insights, this volume demonstrates that while sport was a national and international phenomenon, it was invariably constructed transnationally. Taking in topics ranging from the dissemination of football codes to transpacific surfing cultures, and the touring lives of baseball and hockey players to the contact zones of international competition, it emphasises the importance of transnational perspectives in the way people around the globe experience sport. Like other forms of popular culture, sport cannot be properly understood without reference to the cross-national connections that helped to disseminate rules and regulations, circulated styles of play and performance, and drove forward regional and international competition.

Book SynopsisIf we don't have the kinds of health and human services or even the kinds of lives, communities and organisations we want, then we need to think differently. Yoland Wadsworth offers an inspired insight and radically new proposition: that the act of our 'inquiring', of researching and evaluating together, is the way by which every living organism and all collective human life goes about continuously achieving the conditions for life.Human Inquiry for Living Systems explores this new approach for bringing about both wanted change and stability. By inquiring around 'whole cycles' of acting, observing, questioning, feeling, reflecting, thinking, planning and acting again, Yoland identifies how new life might be brought to what we do.All three of Yoland Wadsworth's best-selling books have been brought together in this Routledge trilogy to offer for the first time a coherent body of work addressing the pressing needs of people to 'inquire their way' to the future.
