Emotions in the workplace have until recently been seen as simply a distraction. We often think of work as rational, logical and non-emotional. But organisations are waking up to the key role of emotions and affect at work. Emotions influence how we make decisions, how we relate with one another and how we make sense of our surroundings. Whilst organisations are slowly embracing the pivotal role of emotions, designers and managers of workplaces have been struggling to keep up. New insights from hard sciences such as neuropsychology are presenting a radically different interpretation of emotions. Yet, workplace designers and facilities managers still rely on measuring non-specific states such as satisfaction and stress. In this book we attempt to capturemodern day interpretations of emotion, looking at emotion in terms of transactions and processes rather than simple cause-and-effect. We entertain the idea of an ’emotionally intelligent building’ as an alternative to the much-hyped intelligent building.The assertion is that we should create environments that are emotionally intelligent. Rather than focusing on the aptitudes or shortcomings of individuals at work, we should place closer attention to the office environment. It’s not that we are emotionally disabled - it’s the environment that disables us! The ability of you and me to interpret, control and express emotions may not simply be a result of our own make up. A radically different outlook considers how our workspace and workplace debilitates orenables our emotional understanding. In the modern workplace there are many innovations that can undermine our emotional intelligence such poorly implemented hot-desking or lean environments. Contrariwise there are key innovations such as activity-based working (ABW) that have the potential to enhance our emotional state. Through a series of unique case studies from around the world, we investigate key concepts that can be used by designers and facilities managers …|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/63cd62b6/creating-emotionally-intelligent-workspaces-edward-finch-9781138602472.jpg|9781138602472|Creating Emotionally Intelligent Workspaces : Paperback : Routledge : 9781138602472 : 16 Sep 2019 : This book is the first of its kind in attempting to match personality types with different working environments.|new|1|1|2|46.99|0|GBP|Edward Finch|Taylor & Francis Ltd|16 Sep 2019|Behavioural theory (Behaviourism) 9781138598072|Robot Ecology and the Science Fiction Film|18.22|https://wordery.com/robot-ecology-and-the-science-fiction-film-j-p-telotte-9781138598072|This book offers the first specific application in film studies of what is generally known as ecology theory, shifting attention from history to the (in this case media) environment. It takes the robot as its subject because it has attained a status that resonates not only with some of the key concerns of contemporary culture over the last century, but also with the very nature of film. While the robot has given us a vehicle for exploring issues of gender, race, and a variety of forms of otherness, and increasingly for asking questions about the very nature and meaning of life, this image of an artificial being, typically anthropomorphic, also invariably implicates the cinema’s own and quite fundamental artificing of the human. Looking across genres, across specific media forms, and across closely linked conceptualizations, Telotte sketches a context of interwoven influences and meanings. The result is that this study of the cinematic robot, while mainly focused on science fiction film, also incorporates its appearance in, for example, musicals, cartoons, television, advertising, toys, and literature.|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/a0cfecd5/robot-ecology-and-the-science-fiction-film-j-p-telotte-9781138598072.jpg|9781138598072|Robot Ecology and the Science Fiction Film : Paperback : Routledge : 9781138598072 : 25 Apr 2018 : This book offers the first specific application in film studies of what is generally known as ecology theory, shifting attention from history to the (in …|new|1|1|1|16.99|0|GBP|J.

As terrorist groups’ influence and networks spread globally, a concerted effort in counterterrorism strategy is critical to mitigating the threat they present. Governments facing the threat of terrorism are typically strengthening their law enforcement, military and intelligence capabilities, but more complex initiatives such as deradicalisation and terrorist rehabilitation are more time-consuming and less attention-grabbing and so tend to be neglected. It is all too easy to ‘do’ rehabilitation ineffectively or to simply ignore it altogether. This is unfortunate, as an effective rehabilitation strategy can yield dividends over the longer term. Every committed terrorist is a potential recruiter, whether in prison or at liberty, for more terrorists. Even in death, they can potentially be presented as martyrs. Conversely, successfully rehabilitated terrorists can be valuable assets in the public relations theatre of battle. There is no single, simple solution to the challenges of deradicalisation and rehabilitation, but this book places examples of best practice within a robust, but flexible, conceptual framework. It gives guidelines for establishing and implementing a successful deradicalisation or rehabilitation programme, derived from a series of empirical case studies of successful projects around the world. It sets out both the necessary and desirable facets of such a programme, identifying which areas to prioritise and where budgets can be best spent if resources are tight. The authors provide detailed case studies of each step to illustrate an approach that has worked and how best to replicate this success.|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/e464b58f/deradicalisation-and-terrorist-rehabilitation-rohan-gunaratna-9781138602526.jpg|9781138602526|Deradicalisation and Terrorist Rehabilitation : Paperback : Routledge : 9781138602526 : 04 Oct 2018 : This book gives guidelines for establishing and implementing a successful deradicalisation or rehabilitation program, derived from a series of empiri …|new|1|1|10|34.99|0|GBP|Rohan Gunaratna|Taylor & Francis Ltd|04 Oct 2018|Regional studies 9781138593848|Media Today|75.00|https://wordery.com/media-today-joseph-turow-9781138593848|This seventh edition of Joseph Turow’s pathbreaking media textbook uses convergence as a lens that puts students at the center of the profound changes in the 21st century media world.
