Paperback. Condition: New. Richly imagined and recounted in vivid prose of extraordinary beauty, this book is a stunning illustration of Ransmayr's talent for imbuing a captivating tale with intense metaphorical, indeed metaphysical force. The world's most powerful man, Qiánlóng, emperor of China, invites the famous eighteenth-century clockmaker Alister Cox to his court in Beijing. There, in the heart of the Forbidden City, the Englishman and his assistants are to build machines that mark the passing of time as a child or a condemned man might experience it and that capture the many shades of happiness, suffering, love, and loss that come with that passing. Mystified by the rituals of a rigidly hierarchical society dominated by an unimaginably wealthy, god-like ruler, Cox musters all his expertise and ingenuity to satisfy the emperor's desires. Finally, Qiánlóng, also known by the moniker Lord of Time, requests the construction of a clock capable of measuring eternity-a perpetuum mobile. Seizing this chance to realize a long-held dream and honor the memory of his late beloved daughter, yet conscious of the impossibility of his task, Cox sets to work. As the court is suspended in a never-ending summer, festering with evil gossip about the monster these foreigners are creating, the Englishmen wonder if they will ever escape from their gilded cage. More than a meeting of two men, one isolated by power, the other by grief, this is an exploration of mortality and a virtuoso demonstration that storytelling alone can truly conquer time. …

Hardback. Condition: New. A visionary guide for organizations to harmonize the deep interplay between strategy and creativity Strategic Creativity is the first book to address creativity from a strategic perspective. It discusses, through examples and theoretical reflection, how strategic thinking enables creative solutions-and why it is mistaken to conceptualize creativity and strategy as opposites. It argues that to change the present, we need to learn how to shape the future by embracing uncertainty and openness as an opportunity to create something new.  This book invites readers to engage with key questions surrounding how we live our lives, pursue our endeavours, and shape the future, proposing a model that applies to both individual practice and the larger whole. Core topics explored in this book include:  The strategic importance of practices in acting creatively and ensuring creative practices succeed by designing strategically Establishing creative enterprises to help organizations move forward, such as by inventing "positive economies" Changing perspectives in curatorial strategies, connecting spheres through entrepreneurial strategies, and bringing worlds together through diplomatic strategies  Strategic Creativity earns a well-deserved spot on the bookshelves of artists, designers, researchers, entrepreneurs, and business leaders in creative organizations, political movements, and beyond seeking to act seriously yet playfully, ambitiously yet modestly, and seamlessly merge two dynamic concepts for a clear competitive advantage.…
