A Theory of Everyone
A blueprint for a better future that offers a unified theory of human behavior, culture, and society. Playing on the phrase “a theory of everything” from physics, Michael Muthukrishna’s ambitious, original, and deeply hopeful book A Theory of Everyone draws on the most recent research from across the sciences, humanities, and the emerging field of cultural evolution to paint a panoramic picture of who we are and what exactly makes human beings different from all other forms of life on the planet. Muthukrishna argues that it is our unique ability to create culture, a shared body of knowledge, skills, and experience passed on from generation to generation, that has enabled our current do...

From the Art of War to Entrepreneurship: All that Glitters is Not Gold
The transition from war to peace and the necessity to reduce the nation's defense budget has resulted in the downsizing of thousands of service members. Many of these vets will seek new careers or to start businesses. In From the Art of War to Entrepreneurship, author Dr. Shelton Rhodes provides practical information and resources to potential and existing veteran entrepreneurs on how to achieve success in four business niches, and he describes the competitive advantage provided by military service to veteran entrepreneurs. Including lists of resources, books, organizations, and web sites related to the business niches, From the Art of War to Entrepreneurship offers a realistic preview of entrepreneurship opportunities. Success in entrepreneurship is the American dream, but failure to understand the pitfalls can be the American nightmare. While the focus of this book is veteran entrepreneurship, the information in this book is relevant to current and potential entrepreneurs in general.

Global-Local Tradeoffs, Order-Disorder Consequences
In this book, ten substantive chapters examine how collisions between technological developments (globalizing forces) and thickening populist pressures (localizing dynamics) constantly keep reinventing the state in unforeseen and unpredictable ways. We learn of how international organizations have fared, and to what extent grass-roots grumbles have impacted big-picture developments in quite diverse parts of the world. Just placing unfolding crises under the microscope cannot but generate policy-solving observations. Treated in corresponding order, these crises revolve around adjusting international institutions; absorbing current populist outbursts; shifting from peacekeeping to peacemaking;...
Information in War
An in-depth assessment of innovations in military information technology informs hypothetical outcomes for artificial intelligence adaptations In the coming decades, artificial intelligence (AI) could revolutionize the way humans wage war. The military organizations that best innovate and adapt to this AI revolution will likely gain significant advantages over their rivals. To this end, great powers such as the United States, China, and Russia are already investing in novel sensing, reasoning, and learning technologies that will alter how militaries plan and fight. The resulting transformation could fundamentally change the character of war. In Information in War, Benjamin Jensen, Christophe...

Online Meetings that Matter
As an increasing number of organisations enable their employees to work from anywhere and as the number of distributed companies grows, online meetings are part of business as usual.

ONLINE MEETINGS THAT MATTER is a guide for managers of remote teams and those introducing online collaborations practices. With a focus on strengthening the relationships between ...
The Decision Intelligence Handbook
Decision intelligence (DI) has been widely named as a top technology trend for several years, and Gartner reports that more than a third of large organizations are adopting it. Some even say that DI is the next step in the evolution of AI. Many software vendors offer DI solutions today, as they help organizations implement their evidence-based or data-driven decision strategies. But until now, there has been little practical guidance for organizations to formalize decision making and integrate their decisions with data. With this book, authors L. Y. Pratt and N. E. Malcolm fill this gap. They present a step-by-step method for integrating technology into decisions that bridge from actions to desired outcomes, with a focus on systems that act in an advisory, human-in-the-loop capacity to decision makers. This handbook addresses three widespread data-driven decision-making problems: How can decision makers use data and technology to ensure desired outcomes? How can technology teams communicate effectively with decision makers to maximize the return on their data and technology investments? How can organizational decision makers assess and improve their decisions over time?
