World Eaters by Catherine Bracy (.ePUB)
📮 World Eaters by Catherine Bracy (.ePUB) An urgent and illuminating perspective that offers a window into how the most pernicious aspects of the venture capital ethos is reaching all areas of our lives, into everything from healthcare to food to entertainment to the labor market and leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. The venture capital playbook is causing unique harms to society. And in World Eaters, Catherine Bracy offers a window into the pernicious aspects of VC and shows us how its bad practices are bleeding into all industries, undermining the labor and housing markets and posing unique dangers to the economy at large. VC’s creates a wide, powerful wake that impacts the average consumer just as much as it does investors and entrepreneurs. In researching this book, Bracy has interviewed founders, fund managers, contract and temp workers in the gig economy, and Limited Partners across the landscape. She learned that the current VC model is not a good fit for the majority of start-ups, and yet, there are too few options for early stage funding outside of VC dollars. And while there are some alternative paths for sustainable, responsible growth, without the help of regulators, there is not much motivation to drive investors from the roulette table that is venture capital. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Catherine Bracy Size 1.8MB Category Non-Fiction > General File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/6WyWy5Jea4md https://devuploads.com/xcwwgksj01fu

Standards by Jeffrey Pomerantz, Jason Griffey (.ePUB)
📮 Standards by Jeffrey Pomerantz, Jason Griffey (.ePUB) An engaging introduction to standards, the invisible infrastructure that shapes the built and digital environments of the modern world. Standards are the DNA of the built environment, encoded in nearly all objects that surround us in the modern world. In Standards, Jeffrey Pomerantz and Jason Griffey provide an essential introduction to this invisible but critical form of infrastructure—the rules and specifications that govern so many elements of the physical and digital environments, from the color of school buses to the shape of shipping containers. In an approachable, often outright funny fashion, Pomerantz and Griffey explore the nature, function, and effect of standards in everyday life. Using examples of specific standards and contexts in which they are applied—in the realms of technology, economics, sociology, and information science—they illustrate how standards influence the development and scope, and indeed the very range of possibilities of our built and social worlds. Deeply informed and informally written, their work makes a subject generally deemed boring, complex, and fundamentally important comprehensible, clear, and downright engaging. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Jeffrey Pomerantz, Jason Griffey Size 1MB Category Non-Fiction > Educational File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/MZNsFPiJysy8 https://devuploads.com/z0kxm17u8hqp

The Big We by Hali Lee (.ePUB)
📮 The Big We by Hali Lee (.ePUB) "Hali Lee is redefining philanthropy for the twenty-first century. Her activism and generosity are exemplary, and this book celebrates the beauty of community giving, and the power of collective action." —Ayesha Curry, Sweet July Books "Through compelling and diverse stories about the power of giving circles, Hali Lee demonstrates that true philanthropic impact comes from collective action and community engagement...she fosters deeper connections and paves the way for a more equitable future for all." —Jamia Wilson, award-winning author of Young, Gifted and Black and coauthor of Road Map for Revolutionaries and Together We Rise Drawing from the experiences of real-life giving circles, philanthropy leader Hali Lee challenges our traditional understanding of giving, showing how everyday people can take back philanthropy from the billionaires and make the world a better place. When you think of philanthropy, what do you envision? Uber wealthy donors? Extravagant galas? In recent decades, philanthropy has come to be seen as something exclusive to those with an abundance of resources. But giving doesn't have to mean donating millions of dollars. It can be as simple as a group of people who come together to do something good in their community. In The Big We, Hali Lee argues that the future of philanthropy belongs to community action, specifically giving circles—groups of people who come together to pool their resources to make positive change. Born of traditions of generosity rooted in many of our ancestral cultures, giving circles provide a way for us to overcome our sense of overwhelm at the many problems we face by learning, acting, and giving together. Through stories of real giving circles around the country, including her own experience starting the Asian Women Giving Circle, Lee shows us a more expansive vision for the future of philanthropy. One led by people who are refocusing on community, who care about rebuilding the civic space, and who are yearning for connection, purpose, and shared vision. Through these giving circles do we see not only the immense impact we can have in our own backyards, but also the tremendous scope of change we can achieve through the power of collective action. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Hali Lee Size 1MB Category Non-Fiction > Educational File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/T0JBmy05v2zi https://devuploads.com/dft0ttc9j3c1

Glimmers Journal by Deb Dana (.ePUB)
📮 Glimmers Journal by Deb Dana (.ePUB) From the conceptualizer of glimmers—prompts to help you savor the micromoments of joy and well-being in your day. First coined in Deb Dana's book Polyvagal Theory in Therapy, "glimmers" are the micromoments in your day that spark a sense of joy. They can be anything from catching a view of the skyline to cuddling with your pet. Glimmers tell your nervous system that you are safe and okay in the world, thus shifting your system's response from defense to calm. When we notice and name glimmers, we train our nervous system to be open to more of these moments—expanding our overall sense of well-being. This beautiful journal provides a framework for readers to name and savor their glimmers. Expertly crafted prompts encourage readers to notice various types of glimmers that they might otherwise be unaware of—such as glimmers in nature or in the arts, "every day" glimmers, social glimmers, and even the range of glimmer "flavors." Glimmers Journal is for anyone looking to build a foundation of wellness and regulation. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Deb Dana Size 1.0MB Category Non-Fiction > Health, Fitness & Self-help File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/wVubZoQZ1Zm2 https://devuploads.com/bce7fklvb8o5

Phenology by Theresa M. Crimmins (.ePUB)
📮 Phenology by Theresa M. Crimmins (.ePUB) On the timing of seasonal activity in plants and animals, the impact of climate change, and what each of us, as everyday phenologists, can do to help. Phenology is all about timing—when trees leaf out, flowers bloom, birds migrate, animals bear young and hibernate—and it is everywhere around us. This handy companionable volume shows how we are all phenologists in our own way, and how the everyday science can help us make sense of the changing seasons and our changing world. Explaining how the phenomenon of phenology is threaded through our daily lives, Theresa Crimmins points to events that occur on an annual basis in plants’ and animals’ lives in response to fluctuations in daylength, temperatures, and rainfall patterns. She also covers less visible seasonal events, such as when roots typically begin to grow or when mushrooms release their spores. On a more urgent note, Phenology describes how this seasonal activity is being affected by rapidly changing climate conditions—and why this matters. Consequently, the book invites readers to participate in documenting the timing of seasonal life cycle events—for the practice’s real benefits to mental health, but also for the good of the environment, as the data gathered can be directly helpful in supporting climate change action. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Theresa M.
