This book is a collection of twenty-nine interesting and original individuals, portrayed in both photographs and words. We call them the New Alchemists because they have each created something significant out of nothing or turned the equivalent of base metal into a kind of gold. They are metaphorical, not literal, alchemists. Unlike the alchemists of old, however, these New Alchemists are not frauds, nor is money usually their main motive. Those in our small group include several individuals who make whole businesses out of nothing, others who create visionary buildings where once there was only wasteland, found pioneering institutions, start drama festivals, develop new forms of health care and innovative charities. They transform schools, bring new airlines into being, invent life-saving devices, produce works of great art or new galleries of art. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
"The world needs new ideas, new products, new kinds of associations and institutions, new initiatives, new art and new designs. But these new things seldom come from established organisations. They come from individuals - the New Alchemists. What drives people to create something from nothing? Is it amibition, the need for self-fulfilment? Is it to do with money, power, or even genes? Is there a mood of the time that encourages people? Can anyone do it? Charles Handy has talked to a range of extraordinary characters -from Trevor Baylis and Richard Branson to Jane Tewson and Terence Conran. And Elizabeth Handy has used her new style of composite portraits to hightlight aspects of all the different alchemists in their particular environments. THE NEW ALCHEMISTS is a fascinating and inspirational investigation into the creative and entrepreneurial process." Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
