In The Next Industrial Revolution, Vincent Petit builds on his earlier work, The Age of Fire Is Over (2021), where he explored how key transformations in consumption patterns impact our energy system in ways that have been seldom envisioned. He further develops this work here, and traces how these transformations apply to our modern industrial system, the bedrock of our global economic development and wealth creation.Petit argues that the world is on the cusp of the next centennial transformation of our industrial system, driven by major technological enhancements, considerable opportunities for productivity step changes, but also significant resiliency and environmental challenges.Through a deep and unique exploration of the innovation landscape and global context in each major sector of industry, the author sheds light on the key changes that will transform not only every sector of activity, but also the way they interact with one another to produce nothing short of a complete redesign of our industrial system.The way such transformation will unfold will, however, depend on the complex entanglement of technological progress, policy, business transformations and cultural evolutions. Through different scenarios, the author highlights some of the key decisions that need to be made today, in order to make the most of this opportunity.

The heart of the contemporary argument on climate change and energy transition focuses on how energy supply should be decarbonized to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.This book proposes an alternative approach.The Age of Fire Is Over: A New Approach to the Energy Transition finds that energy transitions are not driven by supply-side driven transformations but rather by evolutions in demand patterns.Exploring the potential of recently emerged key technologies, The Age of Fire Is Over argues that the so-called Energy Transition has not yet started. In the future, key technologies will significantly transform demand and provide services at a fraction of today's cost or offer new services not yet imagined. To a large extent, energy paradigm shifts are driven by such evolutions, largely inevitable and often unanticipated, because they provide societies with greater benefits: lower costs, more jobs, and rapid adaptation.This book closes with key novel recommendations for government institutions to accelerate the energy transition, which - instead of replicating an approach from the past - should focus on these demand transformations to both advance civilization and mitigate climate change.With Foreword by Jean-Pascal Tricoire, Schneider Electric Chief Executive Officer.

The past decade has witnessed a proliferation of regulatory agencies at both the national and the EU level. This coherent and clearly structured book is the first of its kind to analyse in equal measure, and interdependently, both national regulatory authorities and European agencies. It brings together a select group of highly esteemed contributors - authorities in their fields - to provide a systematic and over-arching view of regulation in the EU. Unlike many of the previous attempts to shed light on this increasingly opaque and complex co-existence of regulatory systems, this book takes a genuinely multi-disciplinary approach with integrated perspectives from law, politics and economics. Exploring firstly the rationales for the existence of agencies, the book then goes on to examine how agencies are designed in the EU before considering the legal and political challenges they raise, and finally comparing them with international agencies and agencies in an enlarged Europe and the wider world. Academic researchers in the fields of law, economics and politics will find Regulation through Agencies in the EU of great interest as will EU law practitioners, policymakers and regulators in Europe.

After more than two decades of widespread hardship for most nations, what are the different paths available for them to resume steady growth and welfare? Will they actually succeed in building new growth models that meet the challenges of the present phase of internationalisation? This book attempts to answer these questions by analysing different perspectives and discussing the conditions for new national growth trajectories to emerge. The book provides conceptual tools for characterising alternative growth regimes by analysing their institutional backgrounds and political context. Unlike standard convergence theories, the authors argue that the diversity of capitalism is likely to persist as national economies adapt to the forces of globalisation. Still these national paths remain strongly conditioned by the kind of governance set up at both regional and fully international levels. The Hardship of Nations will be of great interest to undergraduates and graduates in the social sciences - economics, political sciences, sociology, geography and management - who require an overview of the debates on growth of national economies in the present stage of globalisation.

Louis Cartier (1875–1942), the grandson of Cartier founder Louis-Francois, was an impassioned collector and lover of the arts. He was particularly entranced by Islamic arts, especially Persian book arts, geometric shapes and colour combinations, and its motifs and exotic colour palette are apparent in Cartier jewelry to this day. However, it was his younger brother Jacques – an expert in precious stones – who travelled to India and the Persian Gulf in 1911 and 1912 to discover the culture and bring home the true treasures of the Middle East: natural pearls. This was the pivotal moment when the dialogue between these two worlds opened up, eventually blossoming into a beautiful relationship that has lasted for decades. Published to accompany a major exhibition at the Musée des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, this lavish book delves into the Cartier archives to trace the story of Louis Cartier’s love of Islamic art and the ways in which he incorporated Islam’s stylized yet abstract motifs into Cartier’s jewelry. Dazzling photographs of Cartier jewelry are accompanied by in-depth texts from a raft of distinguished scholars of both Islam and the decorative arts. With 250 illustrations

Spin to win! Collect a rainbow's worth of colorful fruits, vegetables, and healthy treats from the market. The player with the most items in their basket wins the game. But watch out for the wriggly worm or you'll have to miss a turn! Market Match-up, by Petit Collage, combines a memory game with a market theme. Spin the spinner to determine which color produce you need to find from the face-down pieces. You can turn over only one piece to see if it matches. If not, you place it back down but try to remember where it is for matching later in the game. You need a good memory and some luck with the spinner to win! A fun sorting element comes in at the end of the game, where kids can set up their market stall with everything in the correct order to gain extra points. Perfect for 4 players, ages 4+. Includes 4 Market Match-Up baskets, 35 grocery pieces, 1 spinner, and instructions. HOW TO PLAY: Spread out the 35 grocery pieces face down on the table. Each player takes a Market Match-up basket. Grab Your Groceries Gameplay (ages 4-6): The youngest player spins first. If the arrow lands on a color, your aim is to find a grocery piece of the same color. Pick up any face-down piece. If the color matches put it in your basket (example: arrow lands on yellow, pick up a banana, add to the yellow section of your basket). If the color does not match, show the piece to the other players and return it face down anywhere on the table. If the arrow lands on the wriggly worm, you miss a turn. Play passes clockwise to the next player. Continue like this for the rest of the game, collecting groceries as you go until no more pieces are left on the table. Each player counts the groceries they have in their basket. The player with the most groceries wins! Market Match-up Gameplay (ages 6-8): Follow the steps of Grab Your Groceries gameplay. To determine the winner, count the groceries you have in your basket. If you have 5 groceries of the same color, place them in the matching section of the market stall to win 5 bonus points. You can trade groceries with other players to collect a set of 5. A maximum of 2 trades can be made per player for any number of pieces (example: you could trade 2 blue pieces for 2 pink pieces, or 2 yellow pieces for 1 green piece, etc.). Add any new sets of 5 to the market stall to win bonus points. Each player adds up their total, including bonus points. The player with the most points wins! Finally, all players add their remaining pieces to the stall, leaving it full and ready for market day. WHO IT'S FOR: Perfect for families and children who love matching games.
