Verna Allee, whose groundbreaking book 'The Knowledge Evolution'
helped usher in the exploding field of knowledge management, has
brought her experience-tested insights into an exciting new
synthesis, penetrating to the very heart of value creation. 'The
Future of Knowledge' strips away traditional business thinking to
reveal the new patterns of management thought and practice
essential for success in a more complex world. With a gift for
making the complex simple and practical, Allee weaves together
diverse threads such as business webs, communities of practice,
knowledge technologies, intangibles, network analysis, and biology
to show why organizations must be supported as living systems
before their natural networked pattern of organization can emerge.
Embodying Allee's visionary approach, 'The Future of Knowledge'
brings forward a practical view of new theories, frameworks, tools,
and methods offering businesses a guide to managing the increasing
levels of complexity within their organizations and in society at
large. 'The Future of Knowledge' works on many levels: * At the
strategic level, the new tools are intangible scorecards and
understanding value networks * At the tactical level, the knowledge
management tools for exchanging and applying knowledge are
knowledge networks and communities of practice * At the operational
level, a wealth of new technologies is supporting the codification,
storage and delivery of the knowledge people need to complete their
routine tasks.

+ Publishing The night Eva shared a smile with Pat, something
started. Two weeks later, lying together in her bed, Pat said, 'You
can't live your life saying you'll get around to doing something
you know will make you happy. You just have to do it.' Eva didn't
know how devastating those words would turn out to be. Pat dies and
the aftershock leaves Eva on unsteady ground. She is pregnant. And
she has to make a choice. Suddenly, the world that she at times
already questioned, her career, her roommates and friends, and life
in the inner-city are all even harder to navigate. Her best
friends, Sarah and Annie, are also dealing with the shifts and
changes of their late twenties, and each of them will at times let
the others down. Small Joys of Real Life is a poignant and
unpredictable novel from an exciting new literary talent about how
the life you have can change in an instant. It's about friendship,
desire, loss and growing up to accept that all you can do is be in
the moment and look to find the joys in between. 'It's the little
bursts of good in what could be described as a modern-millennial
tragedy that makes Allee Richards' debut novel the poignant work
that it is' The Guardian 'an exploration and, in many ways,
celebration of the untidy years of young adult lives, and all the
tragic and surprising loss, love and wonder that entails' The Age
