        Break It to Me Gently

        by Richard Bolisay

        As a film critic at large, Richard Bolisay has never been interested in the rigid dichotomy between good and bad, not letting movies off easy with a mere pointing of the thumb in either direction. Rather, as borne out by the reviews and festival dispatches in this collection, he burrows into each movie, teasing its furrows and breaking its codes with a forensic exhilaration in defiance of the limited purview and shallow agency typically accorded to so-called film criticism. Break It to Me Gently is a collection of essays as much as it is a collection of times, people, experiences, thoughts, sensations, places, and stories, that finds its center on Filipino film but, like most displays of youthful ambition, tries to hem in histories, tall tales, politics, memoirs, foresights, and journalism, to mimic the raptures and tensions of the period.

        Hey, Not So Fast!

        Using slow thinking to make good decisions in complex times

        by Frank Habermann, Karen Schmidt

        Don’t believe everything you think!A toolbox for better decisions in complex situations As humans, we make decisions based on information delivered by our perception. Our perception, in turn, is shaped by our values, principles and assumptions. As such, it is also error-prone: it acts as a filter, which means we only perceive those elements of informationthat slot neatly into our existing mental models. Fast thinking is our natural mode of thinking. Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman has shown how fast thinking reliably produces good results on familiar terrain – but that that is where its usefulness ends. In situations that are ‘non-routine’ for their respective participants –  such as those we experience every day in the corporate environment – fast thinking frequently leads to perceptual distortions. In a complex environment, experiential knowledge cannot be relied upon alone. Instead, the fast-paced VUKA world demands ‘slow thinking’: an opposite mode of thinking that, if used correctly, can enable more effective use of time more through the systematic, deliberate analysis of information. In this workbook for practitioners, Frank Habermann and Karen Schmidt guide readers to sharpen their perception in complex decision-making situations and follow an effective process. They equip readers with a range of tools and techniques, focusing on genuinely viable solutions and approaches that flourish under the pressure of everyday business. By applying the authors’ fundamental concepts, decision-makers in organisations are empowered to blaze a trail with good decisions. We are all faced with big decisions. This book shows how they are better made together.

        Ich habe Licht gebracht!

        Louise Otto-Peters, eine deutsche Revolutionärin

        by Zimmer, Anja

        "I have brought light", cries five-year-old Louise Otto when she is allowed to light one of the new sulphur woods for the first time."Bringing light" - This resolution runs like a red thread through Louise's life. At a time when bourgeois girls are not even allowed to leave the house alone, Louise travels Germany all by herself. And although it is strictly forbidden to even mention grievances, Louise's political poems, articles and novels repeatedly highlight the appalling living conditions of the industrial proletariat, focusing on the rightsless female workers. And she realises that there can be no social justice without equality between men and women. She demands - almost painfully topical - equal pay and the right to work for all women. Great hope for change is finally brought by the revolution that begins in March 1848. Louise and her like-minded friends already believe they have achieved their goals when a National Assembly is set up in Frankfurt's Paulskirche. In order to create a network of solidarity for women in this atmosphere of new beginnings, Louise founds Germany's first women's newspaper. She finds a supporter in the young revolutionary August Peters, with whom she soon has more than one friendship. But the counter-revolution is not long in coming: when the Dresden May Uprising is bloodily crushed, Louise is subjected to spying and interrogation. Her world is completely darkened when she learns that August Peter is a prisoner of the Prussian army ... Anja Zimmer describes the life of the writer and co-founder of the German women's movement Louise Otto-Peters (1819-1895) in an exciting novel and shows that many of Louise's demands have lost none of their topicality.
