Paperback. Condición: New. This feels like a moment of truth. For many years people have been warning that we live in extraordinary times, a change of age not just an age of change. International Futures Forum (IFF) has been amongst them - quietly advocating the need for radically different approaches to intractable problems in…a world where we are off our familiar charts.?Many have said of the 2020 pandemic, as they said of the 2008 financial crash before it, that crisis also brings opportunity. But wishing will not make it so. Just as before, the old order remains remarkably resilient, has not left the field, and may well come back stronger and more sure of its worldview than ever. How can we best work to ensure that things turn out differently this time around?These four essays explore the resources we need to draw on in this as in any other crisis if we are to bend the arc of history "toward the hope of a better day". The first is survival, then insight, perseverance, and hope - without which we cannot even start the journey.Raymond Williams wrote that our task is "to make hope possible rather than despair convincing". But for Graham Leicester, hope is always possible and grounded in action. The real challenge is to make it convincing. Then we might attract the resources to match our ambitions and practical hope might frame the invigorating spirit of the next phase - recovery and renewal.

Paperback. Condición: New. How can we imagine a technologized life that deviates from globalized norms and standardization and from our collective obsession with endless growth? ?In 'Deserted Devices and Wasted Fences', artist and cultural critic Dani Ploeger examines everyday technologies found in places and circumstances that…are usually unforeseen by their designers, manufacturers and marketers. He travels through second-hand markets in sub-Saharan Africa, the frontline in the Russo-Ukrainian War, desert landscapes in the Middle East, anti-immigration fences on the EU border and many other sites of turmoil, disruption and surprising convergences. Examining the ways in which technologies that were intended for use in everyday consumer culture start to (mal)function, gain new meanings and are appropriated in these liminal spaces can give us hints at what alternative techno-cultures could look like.This collection of essays provokes unusual perspectives on how technologies might be developed, used and reappropriated in support of people's personal, local and regional lifeworlds and lifestyles.

Paperback. Condición: New. If the idea of a conceptual emergency was wacky and original when it was taken up in the first edition of this booklet, it now appears inescapable. Brought on by the global credit crunch and the collapse or effective nationalisation of so many familiar institutions (HBOS, Lehman Brothers, Woolworths.),… we face a fresh crisis of faith, as the instability of our previous perceptions of identity, morality, cultural coherence and social position is revealed. In a world where we are losing our collective bearings, we urgently need leadership inspired by fresh and insightful thinking. This booklet provides a remarkable amount of both. The authors are writing under the banner of the International Futures Forum (IFF), an innovative and forward-thinking group that has inspired many communities to respond powerfully to severe social and economic challenges. "Ten Things" records IFF's learning over seven years on how to take more effective and responsible action in a world we do not understand and cannot control. This second edition has been expanded and updated with seven inspirational case studies from around the world, generated by the work of the IFF.Insightful yet playful, compact, readable and touchingly illustrated, this is a gem of a book. It will appeal to managers and organisational and political leaders but also to environmental campaigners, social psychologists and educationalists.

Paperback. Condición: New. 'Covert' responds to three converging afflictions in society:our growing fixation with spending time looking at a screenthe proportion of our lives we spend sitting/lying down, as a resultthe invasion of our privacy in the digital age To address these challenges (amplified in the Covid-19 pandemic) thi…s handbook compiles 30 'movement meditations' that encourage readers to put down their phones and tablets to reclaim both an active and contemplative lifestyle, one that is highly integrated with, and inspired by, our surroundings. 'Covert' joins-up inner reflection, subtle physical play and public space to suggest ways of resisting invasion and activating the self in an era of sedentary screen time and surveillance. Using 30 carefully crafted 'movement meditations' - each with an accompanying photo to explain it - Covert outlines a straightforward, embodied practice that we can use to defend and preserve ourselves in the everyday world against the intrusion of digital media and the surveillance state.The 'Covert' practice is a way to diminish the lure of the screens, sidestep invasive scrutiny, and nurture the dialogue between our conscious and unconscious selves.By prioritizing introspective interactions with the quirky and complex world around us, 'Covert' shows that we have the means to cultivate our interior and imaginative selves through a dynamic, physical engagement with the wider world.

Paperback. Condición: New. Moving on from her first enquiry into fear and vulnerability (described in her book Nothing Special) Mary Booker here offers a guide to the roots and nature of desire. She draws on her autobiographical writing, movement art, poetry, Buddhist practice and dramatherapy skills to explore the origins, impa…ct, constraints and blossoming of desire in her own life.Amongst the questions she considers. If desire is for something other, does a sense of lack always accompany it? Does one desire always point to a deeper desire? Does desire always lead to suffering, as suggested in Buddhism? Desire is highly motivating. How can we best access that energy? Is desire by nature insatiable? Does it always seek more? Is desire essential to life? Why do illness and depression remove desire? Are they too absorbing? What is the relationship between desire and vulnerability?'Touching the Flame' includes 40 of Mary's poems and has chapters on Needs and Desire; Lack and Longing; Buddhism and Desire; Greco-Roman Views of Desire; Desire and Creativity; Women and Desire; and the Sumerian myth of 'The Descent of Inanna to the Great Below'.

Paperback. Condición: New. 'The Ancient Device' is the story of four somehow familiar, rather dishevelled, sometimes sympathetic characters: Hare, Fox-Owl, Ribbonhead and King John.We meet this dysfunctional and longing band of players on their journey to a site in the English landscape where they are to give a performance of so…rts.Yet exactly who they are, where they are and what they are up to, becomes increasingly uncertain as the book draws us into the mist, exploring and experimenting with notions of narrative and plot, psychology and self, performance and place.Like the characters themselves, readers are unlikely to come out as they went in. The Ancient Device is both a novel and an exploration of what the author calls the 'fiction of the self'. The title of the book refers to this fiction that we all necessarily inhabit, but also to performance as a kind of device (and, indeed, the book as a device too). At stake in this exploration is also the development of an idea of 'myth-work' and how narrative and the laying out of imaginary landscapes and figures can work as a form of repair.

Paperback. Condición: New. When a schoolboy found the Lyme Bay astrolabe in 1967, a story which should have made headlines instead vanished from local memory. More than fifty years had passed before writer and activist Horatio Morpurgo began to ask why. The more he learnt about this rare navigational instrument and its recovery…from the sea near his home, the more intrigued he became.The trail leads over unstable cliffs to dissenting chapels to a neglected story about Atlantic slavery and empire. Marine conservation, Extinction Rebellion and the politics of immigration: each has its say. He encounters sea fans, Mary Anning's ink, John Fowles' writing studio - and beneath these, faultlines as deep in the geology as they are in the culture.A Guide to the Unconformity is what happens when you ask one question of one short stretch of the coastline, then wait long enough for it to answer.

Paperback. Condición: New. Much has been written by and about Satish Kumar - peace pilgrim, co-founder of Schumacher College, and longtime editor of Resurgence magazine. A monk at the age of nine, and now a world-renowned environmental activist with Honorary Doctorates from five UK universities, Satish Kumar has been working to…realise Mahatma Gandhi's vision of a peaceful, sustainable world for much of his life.This new volume gives readers the chance to listen in on a 30-hour 'longform conversation' with Satish - a conversation where his interviewers draw out his experiences, reflections and insights.

Paperback. Condición: New. Innovation is a necessity in a changing world. But what kind of innovation?'Sustaining innovation' props up and temporarily fixes structures and processes that are failing - making them cheaper, faster, safer, more efficient.'Disruptive innovation' shakes things up. Typically however disruptive initiat…ives offer only short-term impact or are eventually adapted and 'mainstreamed' to help sustain existing systems. That is particularly true in the public, social, cultural and civic sectors where the natural patterns of renewal that have been developed in market settings (creative destruction, sophisticated financial support etc.) are generally absent.Only 'transformative innovation' can deliver a fundamental shift towards new patterns of viability in tune with our aspirations for the future.This book offers a first stand-alone practical guide to how to realise transformative potential at scale. It offers six elements for policymakers, funders and innovators:Knowing: how to expand our sense of what constitutes valid knowledge to become more comfortable with complexityImagining: how to conceive, develop and design transformative initiatives to carry a group's longer term aspirationsBeing: how to organise for action, manage the process, and sustain the people involved over timeDoing: how to introduce the new in the presence of the old, enrol others and figure out what to do when you don't know what to doEnabling: how to construct a policy framework for long term transition and provide smart financing to matchSupporting: how to develop systems and structures to support a culture of renewal in our public, social and civic systems. It concludes with an invitation to join a growing community of transformative innovators around the world - a network of hope in powerful times.

Paperback. Condición: New. Three Horizons is a simple and intuitive framework for thinking about the future. The framework explains how people often manage to disagree so violently about their visions of the future and how to achieve them - and it offers a practical way to begin constructive conversations about the future at hom…e, in organisations and in society at large.The three horizons are about much, much more than simply stretching our thinking to embrace the short, medium and long term. They offer a co-ordinated way of managing innovation, a way of creating transformational change that has a chance of succeeding, a way of dealing with uncertainty and a way of seeing the future in the present.In this beautifully illustrated book, Bill Sharpe introduces the Three Horizons framework as a prompt for developing a 'future consciousness' - a rich and multi-faceted awareness of the future potential of the present moment - and explores how to put that awareness to work to create the futures we aspire to.

Paperback. Condición: New. Jim Ewing started his professional life as a rocket scientist, but it soon became evident that his real passion was for people. He saw that life is about navigating change - braving uncertainty, living well at our 'learning edge'.He set out to develop a way to support others, "a conversational, casual,… no-frills and no-waiting intervention to be a first responder for individuals and for groups when steep change and life redesign come calling".Over time he grew a successful consulting business, working with companies and organisations innovating through change or tackling 'wicked' problems. He designed a family of maps to support this work - simple frameworks for transformative conversations for use with individuals, groups, communities, organisations.Here Jim introduces the maps and the thinking that lies behind each of them, plus the conversational craft that brings them all to life. For those interested in pursuing the practice further, he points in the final chapter to Executive Arts, the small circle of colleagues and fellow practitioners to whom he entrusted the further development and spread of his work.

Paperback. Condición: New. Dr. May East here explores the set of symbiotic relationships between women and the cities they live and work in. She considers how cities would look if they were designed by women, and how that design (or redesign) could help to achieve the dream of regenerative urban neighbourhoods. What if Women Des…igned the City? offers a fresh perspective on urban development by giving voice to local women from many different countries and backgrounds and it reveals multiple untapped potentials rooted in the uniqueness of their neighbourhoods.The book builds on the core assumption that women can contribute significantly more to urban planning decisions and implementation, and in doing so enrich and add value to urban environments and specifically to their own neighbourhoods. Drawing on in-depth walking interviews with 274 women, May East identifies 33 leverage points that can enable urban planners, policy-makers, practitioners, and communities to intervene in urban planning systems so that cities can be greener, more inclusive, more liveable, and even poetic.
