As his eightieth birthday approaches, he and his wife Joan set out on a new expedition: to tour the edges of England by electric car. How hard could that be? Given the parlous state of the country' s charge-point infrastructure back in 2018, the answer turns out to be ' very' . In a 1,900-mile odyssey through fading seaside towns, rainswept hilltop passes and England' s only desert, each day' s driving for these unlikely pioneers is overshadowed by a cloud of apprehension. Will they make it to the next charge point? Will it be in working order? Will someone else be using it? You could only undertake such a trip with a calm temperament and robust sense of humour. Fortunately Clive has both. With a relentless curiosity for history, geography and, above all, people, he and Joan explore the reality of life on England' s periphery - the ' left behind' areas that, by voting for Brexit, changed the course of British history - making new friends with every mile","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49544616313105,"sku":"GOR012843693","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49597623501073,"sku":"GOR013548406","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49750744662289,"sku":"NGR9781785633454","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51277205111057,"sku":"NIN9781785633454","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53368634114321,"sku":"GOR013562124","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1785633457.jpg?v=1763805689"},{"product_id":"reflections-from-the-monkey-deck-book-clive-wilkinson-9781784555894","title":"Reflections from the Monkey Deck","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49607975043345,"sku":"GOR007644515","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1784555894.jpg?v=1750833176"},{"product_id":"reflections-from-the-monkey-deck-book-clive-wilkinson-9781784555900","title":"Reflections from the Monkey Deck","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49627733950737,"sku":"GOR008834943","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1784555908.jpg?v=1751025746"},{"product_id":"clive-wilkinson-the-theatre-of-work-book-clive-wilkinson-9789492311368","title":"Clive Wilkinson: The Theatre of Work","description":"- Clive Wilkinson Architects is a multidisciplinary, internationally-operating architecture firm creating workspaces for some of the world's largest technology companies and agencies such as Google, Microsoft, TBWA, Publicis and many more - Readers gain insight directly from Clive Wilkinson as he undertakes an inspiring investigation into workplace design - Wilkinson examines global developments in workplace thinking, historical antecedents, the performance touch-points for the new office and proposes seven humanistic principles for the 21st century office design - Those principles are supported by 14 case studies that are illustrated with a large selection of beautiful project photography, process photos, conceptual drawings and technical plans which provide a wide-angle picture of his firm and a deep-dive perspective of its efforts to bring the 'work as theatre' concept to fruition The modern workplace has evolved to provide better technology and more amenities for employees, but what advances have been made in building truly creative communities that spark creativity and collaboration? Is the 21st century office performing at its peak? In defining this new office landscape, architect and writer Clive Wilkinson examines global developments in workplace thinking, historical antecedents, the performance touch-points for the new office, and proposes seven humanistic principles that will inform a holistic design process that can bring this concept of theatre to fruition. Each of these principles is demonstrated through case studies of the work of his renowned design studio, Clive Wilkinson Architects (CWa), with rich iconography, diagrammatic strategy and contextual ingenuity. The outcome of this process, with its multiple performative layers, effectively promotes elevating a corporate brief of basic needs and goals to a profoundly human-centered presentation of 'work as theatre'.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49737262563601,"sku":"NGR9789492311368","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9492311364.jpg?v=1751223370"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-clive-wilkinson.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
