This book is the story of how four busy executives, from different
backgrounds and different perspectives, were surprised to find
themselves converging on the idea of narrative as an
extraordinarily valuable lens for understanding and managing
organizations in the twenty-first century. The idea that narrative
and storytelling could be so powerful a tool in the world of
organizations was initially counter-intuitive. But in their own
words, John Seely Brown, Steve Denning, Katalina Groh, and Larry
Prusak describe how they came to see the power of narrative and
storytelling in their own experience working on knowledge
management, change management, and innovation strategies in
organizations such as Xerox, the World Bank, and IBM. Storytelling
in Organizations lays out for the first time why narrative and
storytelling should be part of the mainstream of organizational and
management thinking. This case has not been made before. The tone
of the book is also unique. The engagingly personal and
idiosyncratic tone comes from a set of presentations made at a
Smithsonian symposium on storytelling in April 2001. Seely Brown.
The prose is probing, playful, provocative, insightful and sometime
profound. It combines the liveliness and freshness of spoken
English with the legibility of a ready-friendly text. Interviews

material, allowing the authors to reflect on their ideas and
clarify points or highlight ideas that may have changed or deepened
over time.

The Oxford A-Z of Grammar and Punctuation offers accessible and
coherent explanations across a broad range of topics, and is an
excellent first port of call for any reader seeking clear,
authoritative help with grammar and punctuation. Incorporating
hundreds of examples of real usage taken from the Oxford English
Corpus, this handy volume contains more than 300
alphabetically-arranged entries, including standard grammatical
terms such as active voice, conjunction, pronoun, synonym, and
transitive verb. It also discusses related questions of usage,
including how to distinguish between 'may or might', 'that or
which', and 'it's or its'. Over 30 feature entries on major
headwords like adverb, clause, and spelling include diagrams
listing related terms. The A-Z has been fully revised and updated,
and the structure and approach has been revisited to improve its
accessibility, including clearer typographical conventions, and the
reintroduction of the easy-to-use two-colour format found in early
editions. Major headwords have been made (where possible) shorter
and easier to navigate, and all sample sentences have been revised,
replacing those that are out of date and adding new ones where
needed. Readers of all levels will find this volume to be an
essential tool for writing at home, in the office, at school, and
at college.
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Western literary
study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope,
Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann
Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others.

109 IDEAS For Virtual Learning reveals the online knowledge venue
that today's generation uses to learn while playing along at school
to receive promotions, diplomas, and degrees. Calling that venue
"the virtual knowledge ecology," Judy Breck describes the
networking of open content for learning online where knowledge is
fresher, authoritative, and more compelling than at school. In this
book, she provides her eyewitness account of the decade-long,
ongoing cascade of what is known by humankind from traditional
resources into the Internet and explains the network mechanisms
that interconnect the knowledge once it gets online. Breck says the
resulting virtual knowledge ecology is causing students worldwide
literally to study from the same virtual page. The author forewarns
readers to expect emerging good news as the virtual knowledge
ecology opens the way for a global golden age of education in which
students learn more and teachers are respected professionals. Breck
contends that literacy and learning follow naturally from the
Internet interfacing what humankind knows. A boy or girl's hands
can now hold a wireless device mirroring enlightenment from a new
virtual venue into his or her mind.

Tools for navigating today's hyper-connected, rapidly changing, and
radically contingent white water world. Design Unbound presents a
new tool set for having agency in the twenty-first century, in what
the authors characterize as a white water world-rapidly changing,
hyperconnected, and radically contingent. These are the tools of a
new kind of practice that is the offspring of complexity science,
which gives us a new lens through which to view the world as
entangled and emerging, and architecture, which is about designing
contexts. In such a practice, design, unbound from its material
thingness, is set free to design contexts as complex systems. In a
world where causality is systemic, entangled, in flux, and often
elusive, we cannot design for absolute outcomes. Instead, we need
to design for emergence. Design Unbound not only makes this case
through theory but also presents a set of tools to do so. With case
studies that range from a new kind of university to organizational,
and even societal, transformation, Design Unbound draws from a vast
array of domains: architecture, science and technology, philosophy,
cinema, music, literature and poetry, even the military. It is
presented in five books, bound as two volumes. Different books
within the larger system of books will resonate with different
reading audiences, from architects to people reconceiving higher
education to the public policy or defense and intelligence
communities. The authors provide different entry points allowing
readers to navigate their own pathways through the system of books.
