Return on experience / by Kobe, Tim,author.; Lehman, Roger,author.; Eight Inc.;
"This book does not naturally fit into a single category. It will be as comfortable on the shelves of designers and artists as it will on those of business leaders and educators. It reflects the fundamental belief that design is integral to everything we do; that all human existence has been a result of a progression of successful design outcomes. Not in the sense that what we have created is exclusively logical and rational, but in that Eight Inc.'s success has been the result of successful human outcomes. The application of creative emotional intelligence. Meaning being infused into new form that has helped us define human progress and create value."

Crafting a better world : inspiration and DIY projects for craftivists / by Weymar, Diana,author.;
"From the climate crisis, to racism, to gun violence, to attacks on LGBTQ+ rights, the list of issues facing this country goes on and on, and it's only natural to feel anxious about the state of our union. Even if you vote, march, volunteer, and donate, feelings of hopelessness (and helplessness) still creep in. Crafting a Better World is a new kind of call to action: a guidebook for combatting fatigue and frustration with the handmade. Whether that's sewing a welcome blanket for new immigrants, or making a batch of 'vulva chocolates' to raise money at a bake sale for abortion access, this book will teach you how to transform your anxiety into action. Curated by Diana Weymar, the creator of the Tiny Pricks Project, who knows what it means to meld craft and activism. On Jan. 8, 2018, she stitched 'I am a very stable genius' (a Donald Trump quote) into a piece of her grandmother's abandoned needlework from the 1960s and posted it to Instagram. Since then, she's turned her embroidery practice into a material record of the trials facing this country and become a leading voice in the movement to save our democracy. Featuring essays, exclusive profiles of well-known creatives, and projects that readers can create by themselves or with their communities, this book is a means to stay engaged, make stuff, and hold ourselves together as we navigate this uncertain personal and political landscape."--

Theory of water : Nishnaabe maps to the times ahead / by Simpson, Leanne Betasamosake,1971-author.;
Includes bibliographical references."Acclaimed writer Leanne Betasamosake Simpson takes a revolutionary look at that most elemental force, water, and through Indigenous stories, tradition, and thinking, suggests a powerful path for the future. For many years, Leanne Betasamosake Simpson took solace in skiing -- in all kinds of weather, on all kinds of snow across all kinds of terrain, often following the trail beside a beloved creek near her home. Recently, as she skied on this path against the backdrop of uncertainty, environmental devastation, rising authoritarianism and ongoing social injustice, her mind turned to the water in the creek and an elemental question: What might it mean to truly listen to water? To know water? To exist with and alongside water? So began a quest to understand her people's historical, cultural, and ongoing interactions with water in all its forms (ice, snow, rain, perspiration, breath). Pulling together these threads, Leanne began to see how a "Theory of Water" might suggest a radical rethinking of relationships between beings and forces in the world today. In this inventive work, Simpson draws on Nishnaabeg origin stories and her own deep thinking while artfully weaving the work of influential writers and artists alongside her personal memories and experience -- and in doing so, reimagines water as a catalyst for radical transformation, capable of birthing a new world. Theory of Water is a resonant and brilliant exploration of an intricate, multi-layered relationship with the most abundant element on our planet -- one that, as Simpson eloquently shows, is shaping our present even as it demands a radical rethinking of how we might achieve a just future"--

Seconds out : women and fighting / by Dean, Alison(Alison V.),author.;
Includes bibliographical references."Kicking ass and taking notes - what it's like to be a woman in the ring. Alison Dean teaches English literature. She also punches people. But despite several amateur fights under her belt, she knows she will never be taken as seriously as a male boxer. 'You punch like a girl' still isn't a compliment - women aren't supposed to perpetrate violence. With wit and insight, Dean delves into the ways combat sports can change a person's - and particularly a woman's - relationship to their body and to the world around them, considering at the same time how women might revolutionize martial arts."--
