If It's Not Impossible, It's Not Interesting
Over the past decade, the Diageo North America Corporate Relations team has been the driving force in the transformation of the place of distilled spirits in American society - a transformation that many in the industry considered an impossible task. This book tells the story of how our team accomplished the impossible. It begins with the team's leader, Guy Smith, explaining our origin and accomplishments, and describing The Seven Guideposts to Achieving the Impossible, which the team members exemplified by achieving remarkable results for Diageo and in their own lives. These stirring and engaging stories will help managers, leaders and executives inspire their teams and their organizations, and move their businesses forward beyond all expectations, by helping them and their teams connect to experiences in their own lives that show that they have already accomplished the impossible. Note: All proceeds from the book will be donated to the Spirit of the Americas Foundation.
Not Impossible!
Does our universe exist inside of a computer? Have the strange phenomena of quantum physics finally been explained? Not IMPOSSIBLE! demonstrates that the surprising answer may be "Yes!" "But the material world is real" we insist, knocking on wood. How can this all be just information inside of a computer? Surely that's impossible! Climb aboard as computer science and AI researcher, G. Wells Hanson, takes us on the seemingly impossible journey from our universe, into the depths of a computerized universe. As you ride, your fingers are pried loose from your current ideas of reality. Watch as your material world slowly begins to fade. You will travel through the machinery of the worlds of human thinking, quantum reality, the brain, and the mind. Finally, you enter a universe programmed within a computer, where the strange phenomena that appear there provides an explanation for the mysterious quantum physics that has puzzled humankind for a century. Shaun Holmes, MA, and high school math teacher, describes the book as " an intellectual thrill-ride that takes us from our everyday world, to a place where I question my very existence and there's no going back! I think it really has the potential to stir the pot."
The Making of Consumer Law and Policy in Europe

Release Date: 2021-11-04
This book analyses the founding years of consumer law and consumer policy in Europe. It combines two dimensions: the making of national consumer law and the making of European consumer law, and how both are intertwined. The chapters on Germany, Italy, the Nordic countries and the United Kingdom serve to explain the economic and the political background which led to different legal and policy approaches in the then old Member States from the 1960s onwards. The chapter on Poland adds a different layer, the one of a former socialist country with its own consumer law and how joining the EU affected consumer law at the national level. The making of European consumer law started in the 1970s rather cautiously, but gradually the European Commission took an ever stronger position in promoting not only European consumer law but also in supporting the building of the European Consumer Organisation (BEUC), the umbrella organisation of the national consumer bodies. The book unites the early protagonists who were involved in the making of consumer law in Europe: Guido Alpa, Ludwig Krämer, Ewa Letowska, Hans-W Micklitz, Klaus Tonner, Iain Ramsay, and Thomas Wilhelmsson, supported by the younger generation Aneta Wiewiórowska Domagalska, Mateusz Grochowski, and Koen Docter, who reconstructs the history of BEUC. Niklas Olsen and Thomas Roethe analyse the construction of this policy field from a historical and sociological perspective. This book offers a unique opportunity to understand a legal and political field, that of consumer law and policy, which plays a fundamental role in our contemporary societies.
