A book full of boxes. A box in itself. An unboxing. This book explores boxes in their broadest sense and size. It invites us to step into the field, unravel how and why things are contained and how it might be otherwise. By turning the focus of Science and Technology Studies (STS) to boxing practices, this collation of essays examines boxes as world-making devices. Gathered in the format of a field guide, it offers an introduction to ways of ordering the world, unpacking their boxed-up, largely invisible politics and epistemics. Performatively, pushing against conventional uses of academic books, this volume is about rethinking taken-for-granted formats and infrastructures of scholarly ordering - thinking, writing, reading. It diverges from encyclopedic logics and representative overviews of boxing practices and the architectural organization of monographs and edited volumes through a single, overarching argument. This book asks its users to leave well-trodden paths of linear and comprehensive reading and invites them to read sideways, creating their own orders through associations and relating. Thus, this book is best understood as an intervention, a beginning, an open box, a slim volume that needs expansion and further experiments with ordering by its users.

The book provides an in-depth knowledge on how a product is designed and developed by Product Designers. This has been achieved through a case study of one product – the Post Box. This product was chosen for the study primarily due to its simple and non-technical nature as that would make it easy for the readers to comprehend the design process. At the same time the Post Box posed all the challenges a designer would face while creating a new product. Through a step by step process the book gradually takes the reader through the design and development journey – right from understanding the product, identifying the user need through market research, comprehending client’s brief, generating product ideas and concepts to development of prototype, manufacturing and final performance of the product. The book illustrates the stages in the design process that lead to innovation which is applicable to all types of products. To make the book more stimulating, interesting facts, figures and pictures on related issues like origin and evolution of Post Boxes in India and abroad are included. They are presented separately in boxes and columns without interrupting the flow of the core subject matter. The narrative and the language is simple and lucid and possibly balanced with a vivid formatting and layout that is easy on the eye. Dr. B. K. Chakravarthy is a Professor in Product Innovation at the Industrial Design Centre (IDC), IIT Bombay. He has facilitated innovation initiatives in diverse contexts across several reputed organisations and has brought in the industry perspective to classrooms. To promote innovation in a sustained manner in both the academic and industry circles he established the Shenoy Innovation Studio at IDC with a mandate to humanise technology. Ms. Janaki Krishnamoorthi is a Freelance Journalist based in Mumbai. She has been writing for over three decades on various topics including product design in several leading newspapers and magazines like the Times of India, Indian Express, Construction World and Infrastructure Today.

"Perhaps not all the stories that follow are true. They could, however, be true, and the Reader is invited to ponder this. "So begins Insurmountable Simplicities, Roberto Casati and Achille Varzi's colorful incarnation of the many philosophical conundrums that hide in the wrinkles of everyday life. Why do mirrors seem to invert left and right but not up and down? How do we know whether strawberries taste the same for everyone? Where is it written that we must observe the law, and if it is not written, why should we observe it? What if we could swap brains-or the rest of our bodies? Insurmountable Simplicities is filled with stories, dialogues, and epistolary exchanges that cover a range of themes-such as personal identity, causality and responsibility, fortune, the nature of things, the paradoxes of time and space, the interface between logic and language-in captivating and inventive ways. Clear, concise, and intellectually engaging, this internationally acclaimed book brilliantly demonstrates that the beauty of philosophy resides in its thorough engagement with the simplicities of the world, insurmountable as they might initially appear.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is proposing to require event data recorders (EDRs)-widely referred to as ""black boxes""-on all new passenger vehicles sold in the United States. Although over 90% of the new cars and light trucks sold in the United States already come with EDRs intended to capture information about the final seconds before a crash, these are installed voluntarily by the manufacturers. This book discusses the background of automotive black boxes. It also provides issues that these black boxes create, as well as a engineering data analysis.

Wie erreichen Museen eine diversere, die Gesellschaft widerspiegelnde Besucherschaft? Welche Ansätze kuratorischer Arbeit braucht es, um neue Formen von Narrativen zu entwickeln? Welche Fragestellungen ergeben sich dadurch in Bezug auf Führungskultur, Personalstrukturen und Arbeitsweisen? Wie ist es möglich, mit neuen Partnerschaften und strategischen Allianzen Relevanz für mehr Menschen zu erreichen? Mit einer Outreach-Strategie können Museen gezielt mit individuell entwickelten Programmen auf eine Diversifizierung der Besucherschaft und auf die Veränderung der Organisationskultur hinwirken. Dieses Buch zeigt die Stärken von Outreach als strategischem Diversity-Instrument. Es liefert eine Definition von Outreach, entwirft einen Überblick über den Forschungsstand zur aktuellen demographischen und sozioökonomischen Situation des Museumspublikums, zeichnet die historische Entwicklung von Outreach im internationalen Zusammenhang nach und stellt dar, wie sich Outreach im Kontext von Audience Development, Sozialer Inklusion, Partizipation und Empowerment verortet. Es werden verschiedene Outreach-Formate wie Museumsboxen und -koffer, Mobile Museen und Satellitenmuseen sowie digitale Outreach-Formate wie Webseiten, Social Media, Apps, digitale Sammlungen, MOOCs und digitale Strategien vorgestellt. Beispiele aus der musealen Praxis in Deutschland, Großbritannien, Skandinavien und den Niederlanden mit Erfahrungsberichten aus Interviews veranschaulichen diese Formate. Ein Blick geht dabei auch in andere Bereiche und Kultursparten wie Oper und klassische Musik, Bibliothekswesen und Wissenschaft. Zusammenfassend werden Grundlagen und konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen zur Planung und Umsetzung einer Outreach-Strategie erläutert und Empfehlungen für kulturpolitische Rahmenbedingungen gegeben. Denn neben einigen Praxisbeispielen besticht das Buch vor allem durch eine grundlegende Besprechung dessen, was alles im Stichwort Outreach steckt. [...] Das Buch [...] liefert neben den theoretischen Grundlagen vor allem viel Einblick in die Praxis des Outreach und liefert zahlreiche Argumente, warum dieser Ansatz für die Zukunft der Museen hilfreich sein kann. - Anke von Heyl auf Ihrer Website [Die Autorinnen] möchten Museen anhand ihrer Erfahrungen Impulse geben, um ein diverses Publikum mittels anderer Formate und Konzepte anzusprechen. Neben einem historischen Abriss offerieren sie Ansätze vom Museumkoffer über Mobile Museen bis hin zu Apps, Digitalen Sammlungen und MOOCs. Outreach-Praktiken werden anhand von deutschen und weltweiten Museen sowie anderen Kulturinstitutionen dargestellt. - Birgit Wolf, in: Kulturpolitische Mitteilungen 1/2019, S. 99. [Die Autorinnen] haben mit ihrem Buch - auch weil es erfreulich knapp und auf den Punkt formuliert ist - eine hilfreiche Anregung vorgelegt, die einem helfen kann, die eigenen Gedanken für die strategische Planung zu systematisieren und durch Impulse von anderswo anzureichern. - Hiram Kümper, in: Zeitarbeit 1/2019, S. 97. Positiv sticht [...] besonders die Verwendung statistischer Daten zu Publikum und Besuchen, aber auch zu Interesse und Beliebtheit hervor, weshalb eine Unterteilung in Museumskategorien vorgenommen wurde, die wiederum guten Aufschluss darüber gibt, welche Art von Museen vorrangig von Besuchermangel betroffen sind. Außerdem erfolgte durch die Autorinnen eine detaillierte Untersuchung des Museumspublikums hinsichtlich demographischer Daten, sozialem Stand und Lebensstil. Gleichzeitig wird das bisher ungenutzt Potential an möglichen Besuchern aufgezeigt, bei dem noch einmal deutlich wird, dass Bildung und Einkommen die entscheidenden Faktoren sind. - Julia Elisabeth Langholz, in: b.i.t. online 6/2019, S. 550. Das Buch "Museen und Outreach" bietet einen überaus hilfreichen Einblick in die Möglichkeiten, neue Besuchergruppen zu erschließen und bereits bestehende nachhaltig an eine Institution zu binden; es ist daher für Leser aus allen Bereichen des Kulturmanagements eine Lektüre wert. - Angelika Schuster-Fox, in: Zeitschrift für Volkskunde 1/2020, S. 157. Die Publikation kann als geglückter Versuch angesehen werden, den Museen im deutschsprachigen Raum eine erste Übersicht über die Bandbreite von Outreach an die Hand zu geben und sie zu ermutigen, die einzelnen, bislang noch losen Fäden einzeln implementierter Strategien zu einem Gesamtkonzept zu verknüpfen. - Maren Böhm, in: Rheinisch-westfälische Zeitschrift für Volkskunde 54/65 2019/2020, S.138 ff.
