Harry Potter may not be the biggest brand in the world, or the most venerable, but his story is one of the most dramatic. This book tells the story of the Harry Potter brand and how it has taken the entertainment world by storm. Joanne K Rowling and her fabulous money-spinning creation is a contemporary fairytale, a 21st century version of the classic cornucopian chronicle. An impoverished single parent pens an accidental bestseller, which grows exponentially. The book begets more books, which beget movies and merchandise and huge media coverage. Today, Harry Potter is as much a brand as Tom Cruise, Starbucks or even Heinz. This book provides a fascinating insight into how Harry Potter became one of the world's most recognised brands in an extraordinarily short period of time.

The COVID-19 global pandemic has revealed the fragility of humanity. It is because of uncertainty and ambiguity that leaders must adapt and rise to the challenge. Co-creation leadership is a superpower that leaders need in order to help their organizations thrive. In this book, Dr. Terry Jackson, a renowned expert in executive coaching and organizational change, discusses co-creation leadership and how all leaders can use it to achieve organizational success. He also introduces the co-creation leadership's RECIPE model: (R) Revolutionary Results. Co-creation leadership can produce revolutionary results because co-creation itself is a revolution. Leaders need to ensure that their co-creation isn't merely lip service; otherwise, real transformation can't take place. (E) Execution. Leaders should execute the plans and initiatives to help the organization produce better solutions for their customers. Just imagine what humans could do if they never heard the words "failure" and "limitation." (C) Culture. The culture set by co-creation leadership is all about the "why." By having a North Star in the organization, co-creation leadership can help create a healthy culture with fully engaged employees, improved performance, and increased productivity. (I) Intention. Co-creation leadership is intentional leadership. Leaders should intentionally develop those in the organization to their fullest potential and encourage collaboration. (P) Purpose. Purpose is a key part of co-creation leadership as it motivates everyone in the organization to grow and succeed. Co-creation leadership helps people live their purpose, resulting in increased motivation to succeed. (E) Evolution. A thriving organization is a constantly evolving organization. Co-creation leadership pushes everyone in the organization to grow, explore new possibilities, and embrace transformation in order to succeed. All six components in co-creation leadership-revolutionary results, execution, culture, intention, purpose, and evolution-are equally important in building a co-creative organization. Take one element away, and the RECIPE of co-creation leadership is incomplete. Leaders with underperforming teams can recognize and apply the components in co-creation to succeed. Successful co-creation paves the way for healthier and happier humans and contributes to flourishing and thriving organizations.

An examination of how nonprofessional archivists, especially media fans, practice cultural preservation on the Internet and how “digital cultural memory” differs radically from print-era archiving. The task of archiving was once entrusted only to museums, libraries, and other institutions that acted as repositories of culture in material form. But with the rise of digital networked media, a multitude of self-designated archivists—fans, pirates, hackers—have become practitioners of cultural preservation on the Internet. These nonprofessional archivists have democratized cultural memory, building freely accessible online archives of whatever content they consider suitable for digital preservation. In Rogue Archives, Abigail De Kosnik examines the practice of archiving in the transition from print to digital media, looking in particular at Internet fan fiction archives. De Kosnik explains that media users today regard all of mass culture as an archive, from which they can redeploy content for their own creations. Hence, “remix culture” and fan fiction are core genres of digital cultural production. De Kosnik explores, among other things, the anticanonical archiving styles of Internet preservationists; the volunteer labor of online archiving; how fan archives serve women and queer users as cultural resources; archivists' efforts to attract racially and sexually diverse content; and how digital archives adhere to the logics of performance more than the logics of print. She also considers the similarities and differences among free culture, free software, and fan communities, and uses digital humanities tools to quantify and visualize the size, user base, and rate of growth of several online fan archives.

Speakers of British and American English display some striking differences in their use of grammar. In this detailed survey, John Algeo considers questions such as: •Who lives on a street, and who lives in a street? •Who takes a bath, and who has a bath? •Who says Neither do I, and who says Nor do I? •After 'thank you', who says Not at all and who says You're welcome? •Whose team are on the ball, and whose team isn't? Containing extensive quotations from real-life English on both sides of the Atlantic, collected over the past twenty years, this is a clear and highly organized guide to the differences - and the similarities - between the grammar of British and American speakers. Written for those with no prior knowledge of linguistics, it shows how these grammatical differences are linked mainly to particular words, and provides an accessible account of contemporary English in use.
