The Daily Reset

365 Days of Wellbeing

By: Steven P. MacGregor

A Book. A Journal. A Daily Coach. For Every Day of the Year. Change is hard. It takes patience and consistent effort, yet the rewards are great. Let The Daily Reset be your guide. A fantastic and timely book. Marshall Goldsmith, New York Times bestselling author and world leading leadership thinker and executive coach. We get to write a new page of our lives each and every day. No matter what the day holds, we go to sleep and reset for the new one ahead. Each daily reset gives us an opportunity to improve, by small yet valuable margins. This book provides guidance, inspiration and knowledge to improve your wellbeing and of those around you, every day of the year. Each month has a theme; Movement, Habits, Sleep, Energy, Mindfulness, Nutrition, Exercise, Purpose, Ways of Working, Resilience, Leadership, and Community, to help you navigate the year and find your own unique recipe. Wellbeing is a journey. We might not find the right path the first time. In fact, it’s something that is always changing, evolving as we adapt to the way our life journey throws us surprises, setbacks and fortune, pleasure and pain. Such is the richness of life. Both journey and journal come from the same root, the Old French jour, or day. Every journey starts with a step, a day. If you don’t get it right today, simply reset. And go again tomorrow. 365 days a year. There is magic in the everyday. Let’s begin.

Shaping Places

Urban Planning, Design and Development

By: David Adams,Steven Tiesdell

Shaping Places explains how towns and cities can turn real estate development to their advantage to create the kind of places where people want to live, work, relax and invest. It contends that the production of quality places which enhance economic prosperity, social cohesion and environmental sustainability require a transformation of market outcomes. The core of the book explores why this is essential, and how it can be delivered, by linking a clear vision for the future with the necessary means to achieve it. Crucially, the book argues that public authorities should seek to shape, regulate and stimulate real estate development so that developers, landowners and funders see real benefit in creating better places. Key to this is seeing planners as market actors, whose potential to shape the built environment depends on their capacity to understand and transform the embedded attitudes and practices of other market actors. This requires planners to be skilled in understanding the political economy of real estate development and successful in changing its outcomes through smart intervention. Drawing on a strong theoretical framework, the book reveals how the future of places will come to be shaped through constant interaction between State and market power. Filled with international examples, essential case studies, color diagrams and photographs, this is essential reading for undergraduate and graduate students taking planning, property, real estate or urban design courses as well as for social science students more widely who wish to know how the shaping of place really occurs.

Provisioning Paris

Merchants and Millers in the Grain and Flour Trade During the Eighteenth Century

By: Steven L. Kaplan

Dependence upon grain deeply marked every aspect of life in eighteenth-century France. Steven Kaplan focuses upon this dependence at the point where it placed the greatest strain on the state, the society, and the individual--on the daily supply of grain and flour that furnished the staff of life. He reconstructs the history of provisioning in pre-industrial Paris and provides a comprehensive view of a culture shaped by the subsistence imperative. Who were the agents of the provisioning trade? What were their commercial practices? What sorts of relations did they maintain with each other? How did the authorities regulate their business? To answer these questions, Professor Kaplan combed the archives and libraries of France. He maps out the elementary structures of the trade and shows how they were transformed as a result of cultural and political as well as commercial and technological changes. In rich ethnographic detail he evokes the dayto-day life of merchants, millers, bakers, brokers, and market officials. He shows how flour superseded grain and how the millers overtook the merchants in the provisioning process. He explores the tension between the suppliers' need for freedom and the consumers' need for security. Even as he weaves the intricate patterns of life inside and outside the marketplace he never loses sight of the immense interests at stake: the stability and legitimacy of the government, the durability of the social structure, and the survival of the people.
