"The most important business book of the year" - Esquire There's
never been more discussion around diversity and inclusion in the
workplace. From gender pay gaps and the #MeToo movement to Black
Lives Matter, it seems that every organization has finally
recognised that lasting change needs to happen. Various studies
show that the most successful and productive senior management
teams are those which are truly diverse and eclectic. Yet there
remains only 8 female CEOs of FTSE 100 boards, and only 10 BAME
people working in leadership roles across companies in the FTSE
100. While there has been a clear shift in attitudes, actual
progress towards more inclusive workspaces has been excruciatingly
slow and, in some cases, has ground to a halt. Following extensive
research and interviews at over 200 international businesses,
Kathryn Jacob, Sue Unerman and Mark Edwards have discovered one
major problem that is holding back the move towards greater
diversity: why aren't the men getting involved? Most men are not
engaged with D&I initiatives in the workplace - at one extreme
they may be feeling actively hostile and threatened by the changing
cultural landscape. But others may be unmotivated to change -
recognising the abstract benefits of diversity but not realising
what's in it for them. The time for change is long past. Belonging
is the call to action we need today -the tool to turn the men in
power into allies as we battle discrimination, harassment, pay
gaps, and structural racism and patriarchy at every level of the
workplace. The lessons in this book will help us work together to
build a better workplace where everyone feels they belong.
A Gallery of Combustion and Fire is the first book to provide a
graphical perspective of the extremely visual phenomenon of
combustion in full color. It is designed primarily to be used in
parallel with, and supplement existing combustion textbooks that
are usually in black and white, making it a challenge to visualize
such a graphic phenomenon. Each image includes a description of how
it was generated, which is detailed enough for the expert but
simple enough for the novice. Processes range from small scale
academic flames up to full scale industrial flames under a wide
range of conditions such as low and normal gravity, atmospheric to
high pressures, actual and simulated flames, and controlled and
uncontrolled flames. Containing over 500 color images, with over
230 contributors from over 75 organizations, this volume is a
valuable asset for experts and novices alike.
