Responsible Innovation 2
This book discusses issues regarding conceptualization, governance and implementation of responsible innovation. It treats different approaches to making responsible innovation a reality and it contains new case studies that illustrate challenges and solutions.

Until a few years back, the concept of Responsible Innovation was hardly used - nowadays it is increasingly receiving attention from both researchers and policy makers. This is indispensable reading for anyone interested in or working on innovation.

Diary 1954
Leopold Tyrmand, a Polish Jew who survived World War II by working in Germany under a false identity, would go on to live and write under Poland’s Communist regime for twenty years before emigrating to the West, where he continued to express his deeply felt anti-Communist views. Diary 1954—written after the independent weekly paper that employed him was closed for refusing to mourn Stalin’s death—is an account of daily life in Communist Poland. Like Czesław Miłosz, Václav Havel, and other dissidents who described the absurdities of Soviet-backed regimes, Tyrmand exposes the lies—big and small—that the regimes employed to stay in power. Witty and insightful, Tyrmand’s diary is the chronicle of a man who uses seemingly minor modes of resistance—as a provocative journalist, a Warsaw intellectual, the "spiritual father" of Polish hipsters, and a promoter of jazz in Poland—to maintain his freedom of thought.
The Culture of Lies
A funny and cynical collection of essays, apercus and sketches denouncing the perversions of political and cultural life in Croatia. The Culture of Lies was written as a reaction to the collapse of Yugoslavia and the unholy war in Croatia and Bosnia. The collection attacks and attempts to understand events in the former Yugoslavia: aggression against people's own brothers, artificial amnesties; adoption of nationalist fascist ideologies; propaganda and censorship; folklore kitsch as a culture of a lie; writers and intellectuals caught up in the Maelstrom of Nationalism. Ugresic's ascerbic and pentrating essays cover everything from politics to daily routine, from public to private life. This is 1 of the most intelligent and lucid accounts of this episode in history by a writer herself exiled and struggling to find a new identity.
