This book aims to bring together valuable and novel scientific
contributions that address the critical issues of sustainable
building, transformative tech models, and other sustainability
science and technology topics that have an impact on Society 5.0.
This book raises awareness and shares essential policy tools on
innovation and technology for sustainable development. Sustainable
Technology for Society 5.0: Case Studies, Examples, and Advanced
Research Findings details the use of AI in making complex data
analysis and sustainable decision making. It reflects the
collaboration of industry, innovation, and infrastructure for
Society 5.0. The book elaborates on the essential tools, policy,
and strategic implications for building a sustainable tech
framework and provides insight into sustainability science and
technological contemporary trends. Rounding out the book is a
strategic innovative model framework that works towards
sustainable, good health, and well-being for Society 5.0.

book of interest.
A practical and heartfelt guide to cultivating a community, online
or IRL. Although communities feel magical, they don’t come
together by magic. Get Together is a practical and heartfelt guide
to cultivating a community. Whether starting a run crew, connecting
with fans online, or sparking a movement of K–12 teachers, the
secret to getting people together is this: build your community
with people, not for them. In Get Together, Bailey Richardson,
Kevin Huynh, and Kai Elmer Sotto of People & Company share true
stories of everyday people who have created thriving communities,
both in person and online. They provide clear steps to untangle the
challenge of getting passionate people together, helping
individuals and organizations navigate the intricacies of leading a
community, including: How to rally the first people How to get
people talking How to attract new, authentic folks How to develop
leaders and expand globally. The People & Company team reminds
us that we each hold the potential to spark a community. Get
Together shows readers that if we join forces—as company and
customers, artist and fans, organizer and advocates—we’ll do
more together than we ever could alone.

Intended to help anyone who teaches, this book has something of a
cult following. Drawing on extensive teaching experience, the
author presents a personal account of good practice, written in an
engaging and accessible style and based on extensive scholarly
sources. Part I 'Learning' and Part II 'Teaching' complement one
another, and the book as a whole offers an insight into how to
teach in any set of circumstances. It does so without being
prescriptive, instead helping teachers to think through their own
problems and situations. As a result When Teaching Becomes Learning
is a book to which teachers will return on countless occasions.
This edition has been updated throughout and now has 2 new chapters
- Reflections of Educational Technology, and Why Teach? Chapters
are now also divided up so they are each shorter and more
user-friendly than before.
How does a diverse community thrive in spaces that were designed to
be exclusionary? Museums-with histories tied to colonial violence
and racist practices and whose survival is largely reliant on the
generosity of wealthy donors-were not built to be inclusive. Yet
many museums' missions and the people who bring these missions to
life have egalitarian aims. In recent years museum practitioners
across the country have been proactively confronting our histories
of colonization and exclusion and advancing equity and inclusion.
Museums of all types have formed cross-departmental teams to
critique their internal practices, review hiring processes, and
ultimately foster a more diverse and inclusive environment for both
visitors and staff alike. But how do such initiatives get off the
ground? How do individuals build support among all stakeholders and
successfully advocate for new positions, programs, and
cross-departmental working groups? How can colleagues work together
across departments to foster more inclusive museum practices? This
book from the American Alliance of Museums brings together a
collection of tools, solutions, and models from DEAI practitioners
who have actively worked together towards institutional change.
With 60% BIPOC authorship, this book will provide hope and
inspiration, as well as concrete strategies for museum workers all
over the country who are achieving small wins and fostering
sweeping change in the predominantly white cultural sector through
innovation, collaboration, and courage. This is the first book to
focus specifically on collaborative and inclusive practices in
equity and anti-racism work in different types of museums. Its case
studies demonstrate the importance of relationship building,
authentic connections, and developing foundations together over
time, providing a much-needed resource for museum professionals at
every level who are grappling with inequities that are pervasive in
museums.
