How everyday products make people sick : toxins at home and in the workplace / by Blanc, Paul D.,1951-;
Includes bibliographical references (p. 271-346) and index.This book reveals the hidden health dangers in many of the seemingly innocent products we encounter every day--a tube of glue in a kitchen drawer, a bottle of bleach in the laundry room, a rayon scarf on a closet shelf, a brass knob on the front door, a wood plank on an outdoor deck. A compelling exposé, written by a physician with extensive experience in public health and illustrated with disturbing case histories, this is a meticulously documented account of injury and illness across different time periods, places, and technologies. It presents a picture of how ordinary manufacturing processes and consumer marketing expose workers and the general public alike to toxic hazards. Among the surprisingly common hazards discussed: glue and rubber cement; chlorine bleach; rayon and other synthetic textiles; welding and other metal fumes; wood preservatives; gasoline additives.--From publisher description.The forgotten histories of "modern" hazards -- The shadow of smoke : how to evade regulation -- Good glue, better glue, superglue -- Under a green sea : the rising tide of chlorine -- Going crazy at work : cycles of carbon disulfide poisoning -- Job fever : inhaling dust and fumes -- Emerging toxins.

Brave new workplace : designing productive, healthy, and safe organizations / by Barling, Julian,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages [209]-252) and index.Brave new workplace -- Leadership -- Autonomy -- Belonging -- Fairness -- Growth -- Meaning -- Safety -- Toward productive, healthy, and safe workplaces."After a period of tremendous upheaval, it is necessary for organizations to transform alongside their employees and welcome new ways of working. While it is impossible to predict which changes will be successful, it is crucial for leaders to now ask: what should work look like to achieve productive, healthy, and safe organizations? In Brave New Workplace, Julian Barling argues that we should focus on creating environments in which employees can flourish, rather than relying on the resiliency of workers to withstand difficult working conditions. Synthesizing centuries of research from scholars such as Abraham Maslow, Fred Herzberg, and Richard Hackman, among others, Barling identifies seven elements that are key to building an exceptional workplace: high quality leadership, autonomy, belonging, fairness, growth, meaning, and safety. Throughout the book, chapters touch on pressing issues affecting today's organizations such as working through crises, like the COVID-19 pandemic, and the impact of gender differences on people's experiences in the workplace. Barling illustrates that small changes make a big difference in the long term--perhaps especially during the most trying times--and that effective, evidenced-based interventions are needed to achieve productive, healthy, and safe work." -- Publisher's description

The end of big : how the Internet makes David the new Goliath / by Mele, Nicco.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 271-292) and index."How seemingly innocuous technologies are unsettling the balance of power by putting it in the hands of the masses--and what a world without "big" will mean for all of us. In The End of Big, Internet pioneer and Harvard Kennedy School lecturer Nicco Mele draws on nearly twenty years of experience to explore the consequences of revolutionary technology. Our ability to connect instantly, constantly, and globally is altering the exercise of power with dramatic speed. Governments, corporations, centers of knowledge, and expertise are eroding before the power of the individual. It can be good in some cases, but as Mele reveals, the promise of the Internet comes with a troubling downside. He asks: How does radical thinking underpin the design of everyday technology--and undermine power? How do we trust information when journalists are replaced by bloggers, phone videos, and tweets? Two-party government: will its collapse bring us qualified leaders, or demagogues and special-interest-backed politicians? Web-based micro-businesses can out-compete major corporations, but who enforces basic regulations--product safety, privacy protection, fraud, and tax collection? Currency, health and safety systems, rule of law: when these erode, are we better off? Unless we exercise deliberate moral choice over the design and use of technologies, Mele says, we doom ourselves to a future that tramples human values, renders social structures chaotic, and destroys rather than enhances freedom. Both hopeful and alarming, thought-provoking and passionately-argued, The End of Big is an important book about our present--and our future"--Burn it all down -- Big news -- Big political parties -- Big fun -- Big government -- Big armies -- Big minds -- Big companies -- Big opportunities?.
