How Innovation Works (9780008334840)

'Ridley is spot-on when it comes to the vital ingredients for success' Sir James Dyson Building on his bestseller The Rational Optimist, Matt Ridley chronicles the history of innovation, and how we need to change our thinking on the subject. Innovation is the main event of the modern age, the reason we experience both dramatic improvements in our living standards and unsettling changes in our society. It is innovation that will shape the twenty-first century. Yet innovation remains a mysterious process, poorly understood by policy makers and businessmen alike. Matt Ridley argues that we need to see innovation as an incremental, bottom-up, fortuitous process that happens as a direct result of the human habit of exchange, rather than an orderly, top-down process developing according to a plan. Innovation is crucially different from invention, because it is the turning of inventions into things of practical and affordable use to people. It speeds up in some sectors and slows down

Die Besetzung des öffentlichen Raumes (9783865961280)

Denkmäler und Denkmalensembles, national codierte Plätze und Straßennamen sind Zeichen im öffentlichen (meist urbanen) Raum, denen ein auf eine Gruppe bezogenes 'Narrativ' eingeschrieben ist. Sie können als Visualisierungen einer erwünschten oder gesetzten kollektiven Identität und eines kollektiven Gedächtnisses, häufig 'nationaler' Provenienz, analysiert werden. Politische Umbrüche und Systemwechsel gehen dementsprechend oft mit einer 'Neubeschriftung' des öffentlichen Raumes einher, mit der Umbenennung von Straßen und Plätzen, dem Sturz oder der Neu- und Wiedererrichtung von Denkmälern. Der Band versammelt 23 Beiträge von internationalen Wissenschaftlern, in denen die Frage der symbolischen Besetzung des öffentlichen Raumes einerseits methodisch reflektiert, andererseits -anhand konkreter Fallbeispiele - in vergleichender europäischer Perspektive analysiert wird.

Twelve Angry Men (9780143104407)

A landmark American drama that inspired a classic film and a Broadway revival--featuring an introduction by David Mamet A blistering character study and an examination of the American melting pot and the judicial system that keeps it in check, Twelve Angry Men holds at its core a deeply patriotic faith in the U.S. legal system. The play centers on Juror Eight, who is at first the sole holdout in an 11-1 guilty vote. Eight sets his sights not on proving the other jurors wrong but rather on getting them to look at the situation in a clear-eyed way not affected by their personal prejudices or biases. Reginald Rose deliberately and carefully peels away the layers of artifice from the men and allows a fuller picture to form of them--and of America, at its best and worst. After the critically acclaimed teleplay aired in 1954, this landmark American drama went on to become a cinematic masterpiece in 1957 starring Henry Fonda, for which Rose wrote the adaptation. More recently, Twelve Angry Me

The Covenants of the Prophet Muhammad with the Christians of the World (9781597314657)

The Prophet Muhammad's treaties with the Christians of his time, which John Andrew Morrow has rediscovered in obscure collections and often newly translated, uniformly state that Muslims are not to attack peaceful Christian communities, but defend them "until the End of the World." Authored by the Prophet himself, they represent a third foundational pillar for Islam outside of Qur'an and hadith. The "Covenants Initiative" within the book represents a movement by Muslims, both prominent and unknown, in support of Christians under attack. These treaties desperately need to be better known among Christians, Muslims, and the general public. For scholars, this book provides much difficult-to-obtain material: facsimiles of primary sources in Arabic and Persian; corrected versions in modern Arabic typescript; and alternate translations. They now have all they need to study the covenants in depth. "This narrative has the power to unite Muslim and Christian comm
