Communication makes a big difference. A deeper understanding of this domain can enable individuals and professionals to achieve their intended objectives. Imparting education and corporate training in the field of communication for more than 25 years has been a transformational experience. Grappling with the realities of communication and parallel to that, conducting informal research regarding various communication principles has been an exhilarating experience. I believe that for what all I have gained while having a very interactive interface with the world of communication, now is the right time to repay by assimilating all my experiences in the form of a very comprehensive book in which the concepts and principles of communication are narrated in a lucid and non-textual manner. The objective of writing this book is to fulfill the need of individuals who need focused literature to develop their communication not only from an operational angle, like writing or making an oral presentation, but also as communication happens typically every second in formal and informal settings of the personal and working life of an individual. An attempt has been made to have an application bias instead of a theoretical one.

This book addresses how innovation is generated in transdisciplinary work and learning, focusing on the interface between art, science and technology. It considers innovation in a new way by drawing on ideas about transgression, largely from a feminist perspective. Three of five case studies examined involve Synapse artist-in-residence projects where artists worked in collaboration with scientists in their scientific organisations in Australia as a means of encouraging innovation. The remaining two cases examine innovation and transgression in the collaborative work of the prominent Australian artist Patricia Piccinini and in the German Bauhaus school. This book appeals to artists and scientists, workplace managers, policy makers, researchers and educators interested in STEM or STEAM education.

Effective and accurate science communication is vital for bridging the gap between scientists and the public. By conveying complex scientific concepts in a clear and engaging manner, writers, communicators, and scientists can increase public understanding and foster informed decision-making. Key elements of effective communication include tailoring the message to the target audience, using simple and relatable language, and incorporating visuals and storytelling techniques. Additionally, transparency and openness about uncertainties and limitations of scientific research build trust. The purpose of this guide is to encourage communicators to convey science accurately and effectively and to help scientists communicate their findings to the public. This is not a comprehensive communications textbook. It is a ‘quick read’. Each chapter is short and designed to be read in 5 minutes and is self-contained making it perfect to dip into. Collaboration between writers, health advocates, scientists, journalists, and educators can enhance the dissemination of accurate information. By embracing effective communication strategies, scientists can inspire curiosity, promote scientific literacy, and encourage public engagement with science.

The holy grail of the Innovation Function in an Organization is to keep the spirit of Intrapreneurship alive within the Organization, even when the Organization grows in size, expanding and becoming more and more unwieldy ( if not bureaucratic) . This off course raises the following questions: 1. How does one identify the true Innovators in a large Organization and then harness them for the cause of Innovation? 2. How should the Organizational Innovation function be structured to make all of this happen? 3. How does one create a Culture for Innovation so that Innovation and its enabling processes begin to work on their own ? This book attempts to answer these three questions and while there is an attempt to answer these in order, you will often see that the answers overlap and more than one question gets discussed /addressed at the same time.

So happy reading

This book explores collaboration between artists and scientists and examines the ways in which scientific data and research findings can be communicated, translated and transformed using the techniques of contemporary art and information technology. Contemporary art forms—including installation, sculpture, painting, computer-based art, Internet art and interactive electronic artworks—are able to provide new and creative outlets, with expanded audiences, for scientific research. The book, which features 75 illustrations of works created as a result of art–science collaboration between scientists and artists, is important in the field because it presents a thorough account of the collaboration through the eyes of a leading creative practitioner and a leading cultural theorist. It contains a wide range of in-detail examples of successful collaborative works that illustrate the breadth and depth of contemporary interdisciplinary creative-research approaches.

This edited volume brings together top-notch scientists and practitioners to illustrate intersections between health communication, behavior change, and treatment adherence.

All social work practice is regulated by social policies. Professionals, however, cannot arbitrarily select which policy to follow in any circumstance. Knowing what comprises a given policy is essential, but equally important is understanding how to amend a policy by applying unique skills that reflect the social work profession's shared values and beliefs. Recognizing that a series of interdependent social policies govern every aspect of social work in both nonprofit and public organizations, this practice-specific textbook focuses on influencing social policies in an agency setting or through formal governmental processes. Purposefully, the Handbook also relies on information comes from the digital world; using the web as a primary source builds on the social work profession's long-held belief to “begin where the client is.” Using the links to the various data and citation sources, readers will learn to identify and discern the features of a valid web site. As a whole, The Handbook of Policy Practice is an essential resource for all BSW and MSW students.
