New York Times bestselling author Dan Heath asks what happens when we take our thinking upstream and try to prevent problems before they happen.When we shift our energies upstream, we stop dealing with the symptoms of problems and we start fixing problems.If we can stop crimes from being committed, we do not need to work to solve crimes.If we can prevent chronic diseases from developing, we do not need to treat these diseases. If we can provide affordable housing, we do not need to provide shelter for the homeless.Looking to business, politics, and society, Dan Heath shows us that we have the capacity to solve some of our thorniest personal, organisational and societal issues. We just need to start to think about the system rather than the symptoms. Drawing on insights from his extensive research, as well as hundreds of new interviews with unconventional problem solvers, Dan delivers practical solutions for preventing problems rather than simply reacting to them. Packed with vivid stories and practical examples, Upstream is the rare book that can both revitalize your business and make our world a better place. Daniel H.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Dan Heath comes a revolutionary guide to fixing what’s not working – in work and in our daily lives. Reset will help you get unstuck, shake off old habits, and overcome the inertia of the way things always work. Heath shares a framework, based on research in psychology and hundreds of interviews, to help you vault toward what really matters.Crucially, you can make positive changes without the need for additional time or money (which, for most of us, is not forthcoming). The secret is to find leverage points: places where a little bit of effort can yield a disproportionate return. In Reset, you’ll discover: Why the middle of a change effort is often the hardest How leaders can uncover and stop wasteful activities Why your team’s motivation is often squandered (and how to avoid that mistake) The paradox that inefficiency can sometimes accelerate progress The book traces not only how people transform their work but how they decide what to work toward.Their aspirations couldn’t be more different. You’ll visit fast-food managers who’ve crafted a freakishly effective drive-thru line. You’ll meet a couples therapist who swears by a powerful, perception-shaping trick.And you’ll encounter a veterinarian who hatched a plan that ultimately saved the lives of five million cats. Their aspirations differ, but their resolve is the same: to escape the stifling gravity of entrenched systems. To unlock forward momentum – making steady progress toward our highest goals – without the need for more resources.The same people, the same assets, but dramatically better results. Yesterday, we were stuck. Today, we reset.

The New York Times-bestselling authors of Switch and Made to Stick offer a fascinating tour through the workings of our minds to reveal how to make smarter decisions. Research in psychology has revealed that our decisions are disrupted by an array of biases and irrationalities. We re overconfident. We seek out information that supports us and downplay information that doesn t. We get distracted by short-term emotions. When it comes to making choices, our brains are flawed instruments. So, how can we do better?In Decisive, Chip and Dan Heath draw on cutting-edge psychological research to introduce a four-step process designed to counteract these biases. They reveal how we can stop the cycle of agonizing over our decisions, how can we make group decisions without destructive politics, and how to ensure that we don t overlook precious opportunities to change our course. Along the way, they demonstrate how relatively easy it is to avoid the pitfalls and find the best answers.Written in a compulsively readable style, Decisive takes us on a tour from a rock star s ingenious decision-making trick, to a CEO s disastrous acquisition, to a single question that can often resolve thorny personal decisions, in order to offer fresh strategies and practical tools that will enable you to make better choices. Because the right decision, at the right moment, can make all the difference.

The book is highly critical of the excessive scepticism of the Department of Transport (DoT later DfT) and the frequent disproportionate, and often imprudent, interventions by politicians that have collectively thwarted the opportunity to progress a more comprehensive and cost effective rolling programme of electrification.

Named to the Civil Eats 2025 Food and Farming Holiday Book Gift Guide How we can meet the challenges of our age by moving away from the political and economic philosophies of both the left and right to a more equitable re-organization of society, economy, land and food production, driven by the local community rather than a central government. Today, society and government are still asking what our country can yield, and in what quantity. They do so because in a sense we are still living in conquest-based societies. Agrarian thinker Chris Smaje opens this book by drawing an arresting modern parallel to Viking raiding, trading and enslaving societies and the Ragnarok they faced then of dramatic climate change and societal collapse. So, to meet these modern crises, Chris asks us to look beyond the current discourse of capitalism versus chaos, and indeed the dualism of â ˜state versus marketâ ™ and the â ˜state with the marketâ ™, both of which has failed us. Instead, Chris explores a world where we live slower lives more immersed in local ecologies. Where our present Viking age has inflicted a thorough alienation from place and local livelihood, Chris proposes other models of collective organization, where land and capital are seen as a common good that involves a widespread and secure redistribution. These ideas are the basic principles associated with distributism â “ broadly, that issues should be dealt with at the most immediate or local level feasible and governance, wherever possible, should be bottom-up. There should also be a moral economy founded in ideals of justice. Work and production should rest on commitments struck in a community rather than deals in a market. There should be a concept of shared common good, of what life is for. Ultimately, we should build a sense of future possibility around local ecological societies dedicated to human and ecological wellbeing. Much of the global damage to the environment has arisen not because people were there in the landscape, but because they werenâ ™t. Itâ ™s time to hospice modernity and build a green Earth rising. In this book, Chris discusses what this society and landscape might look like in the near future and longer term.

The dazzlingly brilliant Chris Riddell brings his magical illustration talents to J.K. Rowling s gloriously inventive The Tales of Beedle the Bard in a fully illustrated colour edition of this essential classic for Harry Potter fans. Translated from the runes by Hermione Granger, the volume includes The Tale of the Three Brothers , familiar to readers of Harry Potter from the crucial role it played in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Mischievous and witty, these five rollicking tales are a deeply satisfying read in the tradition of all great fables and fairytales. Kindnesses are rewarded and selfishness shown to be the ruin of many a wizard. Burping cauldrons, hairy hearts and cackling stumps are met along the way. Each of the tales is accompanied by a deliciously subversive and insightful commentary by Professor Albus Dumbledore, all brought vividly to life with Riddell s trademark wit and elegance. Former Waterstones Children s Laureate Chris Riddell is the only illustrator to have won the Kate Greenaway Medal three times, and is brought together here for the first time with one of the world s best loved storytellers in this new edition of J.K. Rowling s fairytale classic. Much loved by generations of witches and wizards since they first appeared in the fifteenth century, this beautifully illustrated edition is set to become a firm favourite at bedtime in non-magical households the world over.

Chris Stringer s bestselling The Origin of our Species tackles the big questions in the ongoing debate about the beginnings of human life on earth. Do all humans originate from Africa? How did we spread across the globe? Are we separate from Neanderthals, or do some of us actually have their genes?

Chris Stringer has been involved in much of the crucial research into the origins of humanity, and here he draws on a wealth of evidence - from fossils and archaeology to Charles Darwin s theories and the mysteries of ancient DNA - to reveal the definitive story of where we came from, how we lived, how we got here and who we are.
