That's the promise, and peril, of the third digital revolution, where anyone will be able to make (almost) anything Two digital revolutions -- computing and communication -- have radically transformed our economy and lives. A third digital revolution is here: fabrication. Today's 3D printers are only the start of a trend, accelerating exponentially, to turn data into objects: Neil Gershenfeld and his collaborators ultimately aim to create a universal replicator straight out of Star Trek. While digital fabrication promises us self-sufficient cities and the ability to make (almost) anything, it could also lead to massive inequality. The first two digital revolutions caught most of the world flat-footed, thanks to Designing Reality that won't be true this time.

A comprehensive examination that breathes new life into Wordsworth and the ethical concerns that were vital to his nineteenth-century readers. Why read Wordsworth’s poetry—indeed, why read poetry at all? Beyond any pleasure it might give, can it make one a better or more flourishing person? These questions were never far from William Wordsworth’s thoughts. He responded in rich and varied ways, in verse and in prose, in both well-known and more obscure writings. Wordsworth's Ethics is a comprehensive examination of the Romantic poet’s work, delving into his desire to understand the source and scope of our ethical obligations. Adam Potkay finds that Wordsworth consistently rejects the ...

  • Publisher: CRC Press

Although portfolio management didn’t change much during the 40 years after the seminal works of Markowitz and Sharpe, the development of risk budgeting techniques marked an important milestone in the deepening of the relationship between risk and asset management. Risk parity then became a popular financial model of investment after the global financial crisis in 2008. Today, pension funds and institutional investors are using this approach in the development of smart indexing and the redefinition of long-term investment policies. Written by a well-known expert of asset management and risk parity, Introduction to Risk Parity and Budgeting provides an up-to-date treatment of this alternativ...

FabLabs, etc.

Les FabLabs sont des espaces dédiés à la fabrication, ouverts à tous et "pour tout faire". Ces lieux collaboratifs équipés de machines de toutes sortes mettent en jeu des valeurs de partage, de débrouillardise et d'émancipation. Nous croisons ici les éléments de nos observations de terrain avec de nombreux témoignages de faiseurs ou penseurs, agents discrets ou gourous incontournables de cet élan international. Par une plongée au coeur de scènes quotidiennes de ces espaces alternatifs, nous apportons ici les premières briques d'une analyse des grands enjeux contemporains liés au développement du mouvement maker. Ce livre est un instantané de la situation du réseau des FabLabs et autres tiers-lieux de fabrication numérique en France et dans le monde. Face à un sujet devenu extrêmement médiatique et politique, cet ouvrage offre une vision concrète et détaillée d'un phénomène en pleine expansion. A qui s'adresse ce livre ? Aux décideurs, entreprises, associations, collectivités, universités, écoles... A tous les makers et acteurs de la communauté DIY Avec une préface de Michel Bauwens.
