Book excerpt: Are you now cruising the cyberspace with remote work and online meetings as a default mode of collaboration these days? Then you shouldn't be surprised to see that you can stay an equally productive organization and conduct business almost as usual. We live in exciting times. Thanks to the Digital Revolution we are fortunate to have reached a stage in our civilization where nothing prevents high-quality decision-making in teams regardless of physical presence. Today, you can be equally effective at working online. This book proposes that virtual meetings can become a regular part of the organizational collaborative flows, where simple tools such as Zoom, Teams, WebEx, GoToMeeting, are part of daily support for ad-hoc collaboration, along with collaborative web-based tools and other group decision-support technology that provides a unique opportunity for engaging your valued customers as well as your workforce in a participative planning process that is required for successfully managing innovation and change. While there are many ways to work remotely in our newly emerging world, this book offers an insightful and useful guide for how to do that in the most effective way possible. I was lucky to have found four digital collaboration druids - Elise Keith, Ilkka Mäkitalo, Jeremy Lu, and Kelvin McGrath - whom I have convinced to contribute a chapter each. I was even luckier to have found a twin soul in what concerns the art and science of meetings, a colleague consultant and PhD researcher - Martin Duffy - without whom this book would have not been possible. Last but not least, the guest preface next by Maarten Vanneste, the founder of Meeting Architecture as a discipline and a permanent source of inspiration in these book series. This book caters equally for any of these 3 groups of readers, albeit with different levels of relevance and importance:1) If you are a meeting professional, you should definitively read it as your clients will be perceiving you as a source of improvement of their meetings and you might want to learn more about them in order to enrich your professional offer. 2) If you are an executive or team leader you may find some of these tools too advanced for your current needs or maybe not. The latter would be the case if your company is already in an advanced digital stage and doing business in a heavily competing environment. These tools can provide you with a sustainable advantage in the way your company runs meetings. 3) Finally, if you are a learner or influencer, you may find that AI-powered technology is going to make serious inroads in the world of adult learning and group facilitation, and you might as well be conscious of their impact by reading this book. As Maarten Vanneste, the founder of Meeting Architecture as a discipline and a permanent source of inspiration in these book series says in the preface: "This book will give you several ideas that can make such real interaction, conversations and collaborations reality."

Book excerpt: Beyond Empire looks at three decades of British colonial administration to assess the capacity of the independent governments of Africa to achieve independence. A wealth of archival material and a unique review of British press over those decades brings to life the dynamic and the tension of the process of decolonisation. Addressing a wide range of issues, from education, constitutional change and economic relations, Beyond Empire sheds new light on aspects of colonial history at the country level, with the focus on the African administrations themselves as agents in the decolonisation process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This scholarly anthology presents a new framework for understanding early cinema through its usage outside the realm of entertainment. From its earliest origins until the beginning of the twentieth century, cinema provided widespread access to remote parts of the globe and immediate reports on important events. Reaching beyond the nickelodeon theatres, cinema became part of numerous institutions, from churches and schools to department stores and charitable organizations. Then, in 1915, the Supreme Court declared moviemaking a “busines, pure and simple,” entrenching the film industry’s role as a producer of “harmless entertainment.” In Beyond the Screen, contributors shed light on how pre-1915 cinema defined itself through institutional interconnections and publics interested in science, education, religious uplift, labor organizing, and more.

Book excerpt: BEYOND THE OPEN DOOR: A CITIZENS GUIDE TO INCREASING PUBLIC ACCESS TO LOCAL SCHOOL BOARDS is the only comprehensive, up-to-date source of information on open meetings laws in the 50 states & the District of Columbia as they affect local boards of education. Based on nation-wide research & analysis conducted through the summer of 1989, this monograph explains what boards must do to comply with the law, & what citizens can do to assure that compliance. Beyond that, this volume provides a tool for citizens & board members to evaluate local performance, & offers a model policy to help improve public access & board openness. Included are easy-to-read charts comparing the major provisions of the law in each state & defining the precise grounds for legally-held closed sessions (by far the most common vehicle by which boards circumvent the law), a glossary of school district terminology, a one-page summary of each law (including a contact person for citizens who need more information or wish to file a complaint against their local board), & a directory of state boards of education.
