The report of the Peacock committee on financing the BBC sets far-reaching policy guidelines for broadcasting generally. It takes account of new technologies, such as satellite broadcasting and cable TV, and looks forward to a free market in electronic publishing. Broadcasting would be characterised by atomistic competition and financed by subscriptions or advertising. (CP)

This book is an introduction to complex systems thinking at the global governance level. It offers concepts, tools, and ways of thinking about how systems change that can be applied to the most wicked problems facing the world today. More than an abstract argument for complexity theory, the book offers a targeted critique of today's highest-profile proposals for improving the governance of our environment, security, finance, health, and digital space. It suggests that we should spend less effort and resources on upgrading existing institutions, and more on understanding how they (and we) relate to each other.

Megatrends wie die Globalisierung, die Digitalisierung und der demografische Wandel haben die Arbeitswelt in den letzten Jahrzehnten stark geprägt. Dies zeigt sich in sich ändernden Arbeitsformen und -bedingungen, aber auch in divergierenden Bedürfnissen und Erwartungen unterschiedlicher Generationen im Hinblick auf Arbeit und Arbeitskultur. Dieser Fachtagungsband belegt anhand einer aktuellen Studie einmal mehr, dass es die Arbeitsbedingungen sind, die dazu führen, dass Pflegende aus dem Beruf abwandern, was wiederum den Fachkräftemangel verschärft. Der wirksamste und nachhaltigste Lösungsansatz wäre daher eine substanzielle Verbesserung dieser. Welche Rolle New Work dabei spielen kann und wie konkrete Wege in eine zukunftsfähige Arbeitskultur aussehen können, wird in den einzelnen Beiträgen anschaulich und anhand einer Auswahl mutiger Pionierprojekte aus der Pflegepraxis dargestellt.

First published in 1967, International Nationalism discusses the Southern Rhodesian Nationalist Movement and explores how nationalists tried to combine internal with international pressure for self-government.

Sophie Day explores the houses that are imagined, built, repurposed, and dismantled among different communities in Ladakh, drawing attention to the ways in which houses are like and unlike people.A handful of in-depth 'house portraits' are selected for the insight they provide into major regional developments, based on the author's extended engagement since 1981. Most of these houses are Buddhist and associated with the town of Leh. Drawing on both image and text, collaborative methods for assembling material show the intricate relationships between people and places over the life course. Innovative methods for recording and archiving such as 'storyboards' are developed to frame different views of the house. This approach raises analytical questions about the composition of life within and beyond storyboards, offering new ways to understand a region that intrigues specialists and non-specialists alike.
