Futures Category Building Digital Culture aims to answer a simple
question: How can organizations succeed when the environment they
operate in is changing so quickly? The last thing businesses need
today is a digital strategy. Instead, their strategy needs to be
fit for our fast-changing digital world, where businesses have more
data than they know what to do with, a media landscape that's
exploded in size and complexity, the risk of a new disruption
around every corner, and only one certainty: that this change won't
let up. Building Digital Culture doesn't address whether or not you
should advertize on Facebook or invest in virtual reality. It
doesn't seek to unearth a silver bullet to make digital investments
a sure-thing. It steps back from the hype, and argues that whatever
digital might mean for your business, if you don't create a digital
culture you'll most likely fail, or at least fall short of what you
want to achieve. Combining more than 30 years of experience at the
forefront of marketing and digital developments, and based on more
than 200 hours of research, candid interviews and contributions
from brands including Twitter, Deloitte, HSBC and many more,
Building Digital Culture will help you navigate from being a
business that tolerates or acts digital, to one that truly is
digital.
"The iniquity of oblivion blindly scatters her poppyseed and when
wretchedness falls upon us one summer's day like snow, all we wish
for is to be forgotten. These are the circles Browne's thought's
describe." -W.G. Sebald, author of The Rings of Saturn Sir Thomas
Browne is one of the supreme stylists of the English language: a
coiner of words and spinner of phrases of a near Shakespearean
fecundity; the wielder of a weird and wonderful erudition; an
inquiring spirit in the mold of Montaigne. Browne was an
inspiration to Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Thomas De Quincy, as
well as to W.G. Sebald, and his unique voice is both quirky and
sonorous, an echo chamber that is full of enchantment. This new
edition of Browne's two most enduring and beloved works, Religio
Medici, in which he weighs and ponders the relation between his
medical profession and his profession of the Christian faith, and
Urne-Buriall, an exquisite meditation on mortality, has been put
together by the distinguished Renaissance Scholar and bestselling
author of Will in the World, Stephen Greenblatt, and Ramie Targoff.
It includes an extensive introduction and annotations that will
help readers find their way into the extraordinary world of Sir
Thomas Browne.
Sir Thomas Browne (1605-82) was a writer of breathtaking range and
learning, whose works demonstrate a warm and humorous view of human
nature. Religio Medici is a fascinating, witty and intimate
exploration of his views on faith and tolerance, while substantial
selections from Pseudodoxia Epidemica display Browne's breadth of
knowledge and omnivorous curiosity in his account of common errors
in a startling array of subjects including sciences, history,
literature and philosophy. Hydriotaphia or 'Urn Buriall' is an
intriguing meditation on death and the desire for immortality, The
Garden of Cyrus considers the mysterious order to be found in
nature, and A Letter to a Friend and the aphoristic Christian
Morals provide profound spiritual guidance to readers.
