How can we have meaningful public conversations in the algorithmic age? This book explores how digital technologies shape our opinions and interactions, often in ways that limit our exposure to diverse perspectives and fuel polarization. Drawing on the ancient art of arguing all sides of a case, the book offers a way to revive public debate as a source of trust and legitimacy in democratic societies. This is a timely and urgent book for anyone who cares about the future of democracy in the digital era.
Strategizing Communication offers a unique perspective on the theory and practice of strategic communication. Written for students and practitioners interested in learning about and acquiring tools for dealing with the technological, environmental, and managerial challenges which organizations face when communicating in today's mediascape, this book presents an array of theories, concepts, and models through which we can understand and practice communication strategically. Strategizing entails looking beyond-but not past-instrumental, rational plans in order to become better able to understand and manage the concrete, incremental practices and contexts in which communication becomes strategi...
Bringing together research from critical diversity studies and organization theory, this edited collection challenges unspoken norms and patterns of discrimination in organizational bodies. The authors problematize the management of diversity by focusing on the differentiations between racialized, aged, gendered and sexed bodies. By taking a fresh approach and placing the body at the forefront of power relations, this thought-provoking book seeks to challenge the homogenizing and oppressive dimensions of organizational governance, structure and culture that deny bodily difference. An insightful read for scholars of HRM, diversity management and organization, Diversity, Affect and Embodiment in Organizing encourages an active approach to tackling discrimination and recognizes the diversity of embodied lives.

This book shows readers how to learn analog electronics by simulating circuits. Readers will be enabled to master basic electric circuit analysis, as an essential component of their professional education. The author’s approach enables readers to learn theory as needed, then immediately apply it to the simulation of circuits based on that theory, while using the resulting tables, graphs and waveforms to gain a deeper insight into the theory, as well as where theory and practice diverge!
