Or you may find that God is a married couple, or that the universe is running backward, or that you are forced to live out your afterlife with annoying versions of who you could have been.

Obama takes readers on a compelling journey from his earliest political aspirations to the pivotal Iowa caucus victory that demonstrated the power of grassroots activism to the watershed night of November 4, 2008, when he was elected 44th president of the United States, becoming the first African American to hold the nation’s highest office. Reflecting on the presidency, he offers a unique and thoughtful exploration of both the awesome reach and the limits of presidential power, as well as singular insights into the dynamics of U.S. partisan politics and international diplomacy. Obama brings readers inside the Oval Office and the White House Situation Room, and to Moscow, Cairo, Beijing, and points beyond. We are privy to his thoughts as he assembles his cabinet, wrestles with a global financial crisis, takes the measure of Vladimir Putin, overcomes seemingly insurmountable odds to secure passage of the Affordable Care Act, clashes with generals about U.S. strategy in Afghanistan, tackles Wall Street reform, responds to the devastating Deepwater Horizon blowout, and authorizes Operation Neptune’s Spear, which leads to the death of Osama bin Laden. A Promised Land is extraordinarily intimate and introspective—the story of one man’s bet with history, the faith of a community organizer tested on the world stage. Obama is candid about the balancing act of running for office as a Black American, bearing the expectations of a generation buoyed by messages of “hope and change,” and meeting the moral challenges of high-stakes decision-making. He is frank about the forces that opposed him at home and abroad, open about how living in the White House affected his wife and daughters, and unafraid to reveal self-doubt and disappointment. Yet he never wavers from his belief that inside the great, ongoing American experiment, progress is always possible. This beautifully written and powerful book captures Barack Obama’s conviction that democracy is not a gift from on high but something founded on empathy and common understanding and built together, day by day.", 1718117722976 ], [ "f505e979-f165-4a9e-a330-de2dadeb5c89", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "The Trampling Of The Lilies", 1718117723976 ], [ "f505e979-f165-4a9e-a330-de2dadeb5c89", "8f7805e4-6006-4450-b790-600bb382c765", "9780755153039", 1718117723976 ], [ "f505e979-f165-4a9e-a330-de2dadeb5c89", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "f505e979-f165-4a9e-a330-de2dadeb5c89", 1718117723976 ], [ "f505e979-f165-4a9e-a330-de2dadeb5c89", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=SJmYDQAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718117723976 ], [ "f505e979-f165-4a9e-a330-de2dadeb5c89", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "La Boulaye was a man with no grievance against aristocracy until his employer, the Marquis de Fresnoy de Bellecour, ruthlessly dismissed him.

Orhan Pamuk was born in Istanbul and still lives in the family apartment building where his mother first held him in her arms. His portrait of his city is thus also a self-portrait, refracted by memory and the melancholy--or hüzün--that all Istanbullus share: the sadness that comes of living amid the ruins of a lost empire. With cinematic fluidity, Pamuk moves from the lives of his glamorous, unhappy parents to the gorgeous, decrepit mansions overlooking the Bosphorus; from the dawning of his self-consciousness to the writers and painters--both Turkish and foreign--who would shape his consciousness of his city.

It is Christmas Eve, 1957, and there are cozier places to be than the cockpit of a de Havilland Vampire fighter plane. But for the Royal Air Force pilot who has just taken off from West Germany, this single-seat jet is the only way to make it back to England for Christmas morning. His flight plan is simple; the fuel tank is full. In sixty-six minutes, he will be back in Blighty. But then the plane begins to fail. First the compass goes haywire, then the radio dies. Lost and alone above the English coast, the pilot is searching for a landing strip when the fog closes in, signaling certain death. He has given up hope when a second shadow appears—a Mosquito fighter-bomber of World War II vintage. The plane is a “shepherd,” guiding the Vampire to a safe landing, and its appearance is a gift from fate, a miracle out of time—but for one lonely pilot, the mystery has just begun.

A fundamental influence on modern libertarianism, Hazlitt defends capitalism and the free market from economic myths that persist to this day. Considered among the leading economic thinkers of the “Austrian School,” which includes Carl Menger, Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich (F.A.) Hayek, and others, Henry Hazlitt (1894-1993), was a libertarian philosopher, an economist, and a journalist. He was the founding vice-president of the Foundation for Economic Education and an early editor of The Freeman magazine, an influential libertarian publication. Hazlitt wrote Economics in One Lesson, his seminal work, in 1946. Concise and instructive, it is also deceptively prescient and far-reaching in its efforts to dissemble economic fallacies that are so prevalent they have almost become a new orthodoxy. Economic commentators across the political spectrum have credited Hazlitt with foreseeing the collapse of the global economy which occurred more than 50 years after the initial publication of Economics in One Lesson. Hazlitt’s focus on non-governmental solutions, strong — and strongly reasoned — anti-deficit position, and general emphasis on free markets, economic liberty of individuals, and the dangers of government intervention make Economics in One Lesson every bit as relevant and valuable today as it has been since publication.", 1718117735976 ], [ "fc8df075-e3ec-4cbf-8940-a82f44b4473d", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "The Simple Path to Wealth", 1718117736976 ], [ "fc8df075-e3ec-4cbf-8940-a82f44b4473d", "8f7805e4-6006-4450-b790-600bb382c765", "9781737724100", 1718117736976 ], [ "fc8df075-e3ec-4cbf-8940-a82f44b4473d", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "fc8df075-e3ec-4cbf-8940-a82f44b4473d", 1718117736976 ], [ "fc8df075-e3ec-4cbf-8940-a82f44b4473d", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=Kf6YzgEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api", 1718117736976 ], [ "fc8df075-e3ec-4cbf-8940-a82f44b4473d", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "\"In the dark, bewildering, trap-infested jungle of misinformation and opaque riddles that is the world of investment, JL Collins is the fatherly wizard on the side of the path, offering a simple map, warm words of encouragement and the tools to forge your way through with confidence.

Since money is the single most powerful tool we have for navigating this complex world we've created, understanding it is critical. \"But Dad,\" she once said, \"I know money is important. I just don't want to spend my life thinking about it.\" This was eye-opening. I love this stuff. But most people have better things to do with their precious time. Bridges to build, diseases to cure, treaties to negotiate, mountains to climb, technologies to create, children to teach, businesses to run. Unfortunately, benign neglect of things financial leaves you open to the charlatans of the financial world. The people who make investing endlessly complex, because if it can be made complex it becomes more profitable for them, more expensive for us, and we are forced into their waiting arms. Here's an important truth: Complex investments exist only to profit those who create and sell them. Not only are they more costly to the investor, they are less effective.

Written eight years after the publication of Anna Karenina—a time during which, despite the global success of his novels, Leo Tolstoy renounced fiction in favor of religious and philosophical tracts—The Death of Ivan Ilych represents perhaps the most keenly realized melding of Tolstoy’s spirituality with his artistic skills. Here in a vibrant new translation, the tale of a judge who slowly comes to understand that his illness is fatal was inspired by Tolstoy’s observation at his local train station of hundreds of shackled prisoners being sent off to Siberia, many for petty crimes. When he learned that the sentencing judge had died, Tolstoy was roused to consider the judge’s thoughts during his final days—a study on the acceptance of mortality only deepened by the death, during its writing, of one of Tolstoy’s own young children. The final result is a magisterial story, both chilling and beguiling in the fullness of its empathy, its quotidian detail, and the beauty of its prose, and is, as many have claimed it to be, one of the most moving novellas ever written. The Art of The Novella Series Too short to be a novel, too long to be a short story, the novella is generally unrecognized by academics and publishers.

Restlessness, poverty, and violence are everywhere. For these three, friendship is the only refuge from the chaos around them.

The other books in the series are The Black Swan, Antifragile, Skin in the Game, and The Bed of Procrustes. Fooled by Randomness is the word-of-mouth sensation that will change the way you think about business and the world. Nassim Nicholas Taleb–veteran trader, renowned risk expert, polymathic scholar, erudite raconteur, and New York Times bestselling author of The Black Swan–has written a modern classic that turns on its head what we believe about luck and skill. This book is about luck–or more precisely, about how we perceive and deal with luck in life and business. Set against the backdrop of the most conspicuous forum in which luck is mistaken for skill–the world of trading–Fooled by Randomness provides captivating insight into one of the least understood factors in all our lives. Writing in an entertaining narrative style, the author tackles major intellectual issues related to the underestimation of the influence of happenstance on our lives. The book is populated with an array of characters, some of whom have grasped, in their own way, the significance of chance: the baseball legend Yogi Berra; the philosopher of knowledge Karl Popper; the ancient world’s wisest man, Solon; the modern financier George Soros; and the Greek voyager Odysseus. We also meet the fictional Nero, who seems to understand the role of randomness in his professional life but falls victim to his own superstitious foolishness. However, the most recognizable character of all remains unnamed–the lucky fool who happens to be in the right place at the right time–he embodies the “survival of the least fit.” Such individuals attract devoted followers who believe in their guru’s insights and methods. But no one can replicate what is obtained by chance. Are we capable of distinguishing the fortunate charlatan from the genuine visionary? Must we always try to uncover nonexistent messages in random events? It may be impossible to guard ourselves against the vagaries of the goddess Fortuna, but after reading Fooled by Randomness we can be a little better prepared.

With a spectacular array of true stories and case studies of the hidden benefits of mess, A Perfect Mess overturns the accepted wisdom that tight schedules, organization, neatness, and consistency are the keys to success. Drawing on examples from business, parenting, cooking, the war on terrorism, retail, and even the meteoric career of Arnold Schwarzenegger, coauthors Abrahmson and Freedman demonstrate that moderately messy systems use resources more efficiently, yield better solutions, and are harder to break than neat ones.Applying this idea on scales both large (government, society) and small (desktops, garages), A Perfect Mess uncovers all the ways messiness can trump neatness, and will help you assess the right amount of disorder for any system. Whether it's your company's management plan or your hallway closet that bedevils you, this book will show you why to say yes to mess.", 1718117747976 ], [ "ebf8a0bd-3391-4e25-8b9b-b5d1f6d02c63", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "Discover Your True North", 1718117748976 ], [ "ebf8a0bd-3391-4e25-8b9b-b5d1f6d02c63", "8f7805e4-6006-4450-b790-600bb382c765", "9781119082941", 1718117748976 ], [ "ebf8a0bd-3391-4e25-8b9b-b5d1f6d02c63", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "ebf8a0bd-3391-4e25-8b9b-b5d1f6d02c63", 1718117748976 ], [ "ebf8a0bd-3391-4e25-8b9b-b5d1f6d02c63", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=rxCeCAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718117748976 ], [ "ebf8a0bd-3391-4e25-8b9b-b5d1f6d02c63", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "Revised edition of the author's Finding your true north, 2008.", 1718117748976 ], [ "ebf15501-de6b-4dc4-9efe-ff7f6fba84da", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "The Emperor of All Maladies", 1718117749976 ], [ "ebf15501-de6b-4dc4-9efe-ff7f6fba84da", "8f7805e4-6006-4450-b790-600bb382c765", "9781439170915", 1718117749976 ], [ "ebf15501-de6b-4dc4-9efe-ff7f6fba84da", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "ebf15501-de6b-4dc4-9efe-ff7f6fba84da", 1718117749976 ], [ "ebf15501-de6b-4dc4-9efe-ff7f6fba84da", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=hgx0sJvphNkC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718117749976 ], [ "ebf15501-de6b-4dc4-9efe-ff7f6fba84da", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "An assessment of cancer addresses both the courageous battles against the disease and the misperceptions and hubris that have compromised modern understandings, providing coverage of such topics as ancient-world surgeries and the development of present-day treatments.

In 1997, Sivers was a musician who taught himself to code a Buy Now button onto his band's website. Shortly thereafter he began selling his friends' CDs on his website. As CD Baby grew, Sivers faced numerous obstacles on his way to success. Within six years he had been publicly criticized by Steve Jobs and had to pay his father $3.3 million to buy back 90 percent of his company, but he had also built a company of more than 50 employees and had profited $10 million.

Hundreds of people have suggested names of programmers to interview on the Coders at Work web site: www.codersatwork.com. The complete list was 284 names.

Typed out as one long, single-spaced paragraph on eight long sheets of tracing paper that he later taped together to form a 120 foot scroll, this document is among the most significant, celebrated, and provocative artifacts in contemporary American literary history. It represents the first full expression of Kerouac’s revolutionary aesthetic, the identifiable point at which his thematic vision and narrative voice came together in a sustained burst of creative energy. It was also part of a wider vital experimentation in the American literary, musical, and visual arts in the post-World War II period. It was not until more than six years later, and several new drafts, that Viking published, in 1957, the novel known to us today. On the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of On the Road, Viking will publish the 1951 scroll in a standard book format. The differences between the two versions are principally ones of significant detail and altered emphasis. The scroll is slightly longer and has a heightened linguistic virtuosity and a more sexually frenetic tone. It also uses the real names of Kerouac’s friends instead of the fictional names he later invented for them. The transcription of the scroll was done by Howard Cunnell who, along with Joshua Kupetz, George Mouratidis, and Penny Vlagopoulos, provides a critical introduction that explains the fascinating compositional and publication history of On the Road and anchors the text in its historical, political, and social context.", 1718117756976 ], [ "e2b98ff1-7dbc-4053-99db-7d4cc593bccf", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "Sophie's World", 1718117757976 ], [ "e2b98ff1-7dbc-4053-99db-7d4cc593bccf", "8f7805e4-6006-4450-b790-600bb382c765", "9781466804272", 1718117757976 ], [ "e2b98ff1-7dbc-4053-99db-7d4cc593bccf", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "e2b98ff1-7dbc-4053-99db-7d4cc593bccf", 1718117757976 ], [ "e2b98ff1-7dbc-4053-99db-7d4cc593bccf", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=jb9NGu6dEdkC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718117757976 ], [ "e2b98ff1-7dbc-4053-99db-7d4cc593bccf", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "One day Sophie comes home from school to find two questions in her mail: \"Who are you?\" and \"Where does the world come from?\" Before she knows it she is enrolled in a correspondence course with a mysterious philosopher.

Rarely have greed, vanity, selfishness, and vapidity been so mercilessly and wittily portrayed. Whether contrasting the elegance of one of the last flights of the supersonic Concorde with the good times and chicken wings of Hooters Air, portraying the rarified universe of Paris fashion shows where an evening dress can cost as much as four years of college, or traveling to a private island off the coast of Belize to watch a soft-core Playboy TV shoot, where he is provided with his very own personal manservant, David Rakoff takes us on a bitingly funny grand tour of our culture of excess, delving into the manic getting and spending that defines the North American way of life. Somewhere along the line, our healthy self-regard has exploded into obliterating narcissism, and Rakoff is there to map that frontier. He sits through the grotesqueries of “avant garde” vaudeville in Times Square immediately following 9/11. Twenty days without food allows him to experience firsthand the wonders of “detoxification,” and the frozen world of cryonics, whose promise of eternal life is the ultimate status symbol, leaves him very cold indeed (much to our good fortune).

George Orwell was first and foremost an essayist, producing throughout his life an extraordinary array of short nonfiction that reflected—and illuminated—the fraught times in which he lived. “As soon as he began to write something,” comments George Packer in his foreword, “it was as natural for Orwell to propose, generalize, qualify, argue, judge—in short, to think—as it was for Yeats to versify or Dickens to invent.” Facing Unpleasant Facts charts Orwell’s development as a master of the narrative-essay form and unites such classics as “Shooting an Elephant” with lesser-known journalism and passages from his wartime diary. Whether detailing the horrors of Orwell’s boyhood in an English boarding school or bringing to life the sights, sounds, and smells of the Spanish Civil War, these essays weave together the personal and the political in an unmistakable style that is at once plainspoken and brilliantly complex. “Best known for his late-career classics Animal Farm and 1984, George Orwell—who used his given name, Eric Blair, in the earliest pieces of this collection aimed at the aficionado as well as the general reader—was above all a polemicist of the first rank.

As usual, a pilot put off immediately, and rounding the Chateau d'If, got on board the vessel between Cape Morgion and Rion island. Immediately, and according to custom, the ramparts of Fort Saint-Jean were covered with spectators; it is always an event at Marseilles for a ship to come into port, especially when this ship, like theÊPharaon, has been built, rigged, and laden at the old Phocee docks, and belongs to an owner of the city. The ship drew on and had safely passed the strait, which some volcanic shock has made between the Calasareigne and Jaros islands; had doubled Pomegue, and approached the harbor under topsails, jib, and spanker, but so slowly and sedately that the idlers, with that instinct which is the forerunner of evil, asked one another what misfortune could have happened on board. However, those experienced in navigation saw plainly that if any accident had occurred, it was not to the vessel herself, for she bore down with all the evidence of being skilfully handled, the anchor a-cockbill, the jib-boom guys already eased off, and standing by the side of the pilot, who was steering theÊPharaonÊtowards the narrow entrance of the inner port, was a young man, who, with activity and vigilant eye, watched every motion of the ship, and repeated each direction of the pilot. The vague disquietude which prevailed among the spectators had so much affected one of the crowd that he did not await the arrival of the vessel in harbor, but jumping into a small skiff, desired to be pulled alongside thePharaon, which he reached as she rounded into La Reserve basin. When the young man on board saw this person approach, he left his station by the pilot, and, hat in hand, leaned over the ship's bulwarks. He was a fine, tall, slim young fellow of eighteen or twenty, with black eyes, and hair as dark as a raven's wing; and his whole appearance bespoke that calmness and resolution peculiar to men accustomed from their cradle to contend with danger.", 1718117768976 ], [ "cdb4d086-52f2-475a-ab57-04ae127ae814", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "The Count of Monte Cristo", 1718117768976 ], [ "cdb4d086-52f2-475a-ab57-04ae127ae814", "8f7805e4-6006-4450-b790-600bb382c765", "9781613104927", 1718117768976 ], [ "ddad9b78-65bd-4b94-ad8d-b8cabc817012", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "The Shame of Motley (Esprios Classics)", 1718117769976 ], [ "ddad9b78-65bd-4b94-ad8d-b8cabc817012", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "ddad9b78-65bd-4b94-ad8d-b8cabc817012", 1718117769976 ], [ "ddad9b78-65bd-4b94-ad8d-b8cabc817012", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=eHHQDwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718117769976 ], [ "dd6770b4-f0c5-415b-bb5a-919da090b331", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "The Muscle and Strength Pyramid", 1718117770976 ], [ "dd6770b4-f0c5-415b-bb5a-919da090b331", "8f7805e4-6006-4450-b790-600bb382c765", "9781689004930", 1718117770976 ], [ "dd6770b4-f0c5-415b-bb5a-919da090b331", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "dd6770b4-f0c5-415b-bb5a-919da090b331", 1718117770976 ], [ "dd6770b4-f0c5-415b-bb5a-919da090b331", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=ficQywEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api", 1718117770976 ], [ "dd6770b4-f0c5-415b-bb5a-919da090b331", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "¿Cansado de malgastar tu valioso tiempo, esfuerzo y dinero en sistemas de entrenamiento, suplementos y dietas que prometen resultados milagrosos, pero que lo único que logran es frustrarte y vaciarte la cartera?

Red Queen, by #1 New York Times bestselling author Victoria Aveyard, is a sweeping tale of power, intrigue, and betrayal, perfect for fans of George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones series. Mare Barrow's world is divided by blood—those with common, Red blood serve the Silver-blooded elite, who are gifted with superhuman abilities. Mare is a Red, scraping by as a thief in a poor, rural village, until a twist of fate throws her in front of the Silver court. Before the king, princes, and all the nobles, she discovers she has an ability of her own. To cover up this impossibility, the king forces her to play the role of a lost Silver princess and betroths her to one of his own sons. As Mare is drawn further into the Silver world, she risks everything and uses her new position to help the Scarlet Guard—a growing Red rebellion—even as her heart tugs her in an impossible direction.

That they will own the land their father gave them.” “I live for you,” I say sadly. Eo kisses my cheek. “Then you must live for more.” Darrow is a Red, a member of the lowest caste in the color-coded society of the future. Like his fellow Reds, he works all day, believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars livable for future generations. Yet he toils willingly, trusting that his blood and sweat will one day result in a better world for his children. But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. Soon he discovers that humanity reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and lush wilds spread across the planet. Darrow—and Reds like him—are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class. Inspired by a longing for justice, and driven by the memory of lost love, Darrow sacrifices everything to infiltrate the legendary Institute, a proving ground for the dominant Gold caste, where the next generation of humanity’s overlords struggle for power. He will be forced to compete for his life and the very future of civilization against the best and most brutal of Society’s ruling class. There, he will stop at nothing to bring down his enemies . . . even if it means he has to become one of them to do so.

The book tells the story of a poor barefoot Gypsy girl (La Esmeralda) and a misshapen bell-ringer (Quasimodo) who was raised by the Archdeacon (Claude Frollo). The book was written as a statement to preserve the Notre Dame cathedral and not to 'modernize' it, as Hugo was thoroughly against this.The story begins during the Renaissance in 1482, the day of the Festival of Fools in Paris. Quasimodo, the deformed bell ringer, is introduced by his crowning as Pope of Fools.Esméralda, a beautiful 16-year-old gypsy with a kind and generous heart, captures the hearts of many men but especially Quasimodo's adopted father, Claude Frollo. Frollo is torn between his lust and the rules of the church. He orders Quasimodo to get her. Quasimodo is caught and whipped and ordered to be tied down in the heat.

After decades of research, world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., discovered a simple but groundbreaking idea: the power of mindset. In this brilliant book, she shows how success in school, work, sports, the arts, and almost every area of human endeavor can be dramatically influenced by how we think about our talents and abilities. People with a fixed mindset—those who believe that abilities are fixed—are less likely to flourish than those with a growth mindset—those who believe that abilities can be developed. Mindset reveals how great parents, teachers, managers, and athletes can put this idea to use to foster outstanding accomplishment. In this edition, Dweck offers new insights into her now famous and broadly embraced concept. She introduces a phenomenon she calls false growth mindset and guides people toward adopting a deeper, truer growth mindset. She also expands the mindset concept beyond the individual, applying it to the cultures of groups and organizations. With the right mindset, you can motivate those you lead, teach, and love—to transform their lives and your own.", 1718117778976 ], [ "d6a0a7e3-a5f2-4146-81dc-06a62b20271c", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "The Complete Stories", 1718117779976 ], [ "d6a0a7e3-a5f2-4146-81dc-06a62b20271c", "d8b6b232-d081-412b-8a5e-1a43c0b2f7fc", 429, 1718117779976 ], [ "d6a0a7e3-a5f2-4146-81dc-06a62b20271c", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "d6a0a7e3-a5f2-4146-81dc-06a62b20271c", 1718117779976 ], [ "d6a0a7e3-a5f2-4146-81dc-06a62b20271c", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=BVnaF63RVs0C&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api", 1718117779976 ], [ "d6a0a7e3-a5f2-4146-81dc-06a62b20271c", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "First published fifteen years ago, shortly after his death, inside this collection are some of the finest short stories of science fiction writing from one of the genre's greatest writers, Isaac Asimov.

Can they find common ground? In this new book, neuroscientist Eric R. Kandel, whose remarkable scientific career and deep interest in art give him a unique perspective, demonstrates how science can inform the way we experience a work of art and seek to understand its meaning. Kandel illustrates how reductionism—the distillation of larger scientific or aesthetic concepts into smaller, more tractable components—has been used by scientists and artists alike to pursue their respective truths. He draws on his Nobel Prize-winning work revealing the neurobiological underpinnings of learning and memory in sea slugs to shed light on the complex workings of the mental processes of higher animals. In Reductionism in Art and Brain Science, Kandel shows how this radically reductionist approach, applied to the most complex puzzle of our time—the brain—has been employed by modern artists who distill their subjective world into color, form, and light. Kandel demonstrates through bottom-up sensory and top-down cognitive functions how science can explore the complexities of human perception and help us to perceive, appreciate, and understand great works of art. At the heart of the book is an elegant elucidation of the contribution of reductionism to the evolution of modern art and its role in a monumental shift in artistic perspective. Reductionism steered the transition from figurative art to the first explorations of abstract art reflected in the works of Turner, Monet, Kandinsky, Schoenberg, and Mondrian. Kandel explains how, in the postwar era, Pollock, de Kooning, Rothko, Louis, Turrell, and Flavin used a reductionist approach to arrive at their abstract expressionism and how Katz, Warhol, Close, and Sandback built upon the advances of the New York School to reimagine figurative and minimal art.

The Courage to Be Disliked, already an enormous bestseller in Asia with more than 3.5 million copies sold, demonstrates how to unlock the power within yourself to be the person you truly want to be. Is happiness something you choose for yourself? The Courage to Be Disliked presents a simple and straightforward answer. Using the theories of Alfred Adler, one of the three giants of nineteenth-century psychology alongside Freud and Jung, this book follows an illuminating dialogue between a philosopher and a young man. Over the course of five conversations, the philosopher helps his student to understand how each of us is able to determine the direction of our own life, free from the shackles of past traumas and the expectations of others. Rich in wisdom, The Courage to Be Disliked will guide you through the concepts of self-forgiveness, self-care, and mind decluttering. It is a deeply liberating way of thinking, allowing you to develop the courage to change and ignore the limitations that you might be placing on yourself.

Fully revised, and incorporating the dramatic developments of the last fifteen years, The Story of Psychology is a graceful and absorbing chronicle of one of the great human inquiries—the search for the true causes of our behavior.", 1718117791976 ], [ "d03ff2fe-e2fa-43e2-9e23-f32cda10bff4", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "\"Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!\": Adventures of a Curious Character", 1718117792976 ], [ "d03ff2fe-e2fa-43e2-9e23-f32cda10bff4", "d8b6b232-d081-412b-8a5e-1a43c0b2f7fc", 352, 1718117792976 ], [ "d03ff2fe-e2fa-43e2-9e23-f32cda10bff4", "8f7805e4-6006-4450-b790-600bb382c765", "9780393355680", 1718117792976 ], [ "d03ff2fe-e2fa-43e2-9e23-f32cda10bff4", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "d03ff2fe-e2fa-43e2-9e23-f32cda10bff4", 1718117792976 ], [ "d03ff2fe-e2fa-43e2-9e23-f32cda10bff4", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=_gA_DwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718117792976 ], [ "d03ff2fe-e2fa-43e2-9e23-f32cda10bff4", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "One of the most famous science books of our time, the phenomenal national bestseller that \"buzzes with energy, anecdote and life.

And yet, with an eye toward the French Revolution and its regicides and deicides, he shows how inevitably the course of revolution leads to tyranny.

It went on to win the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Fiction and quickly became an international bestseller. Twenty years later, the novel has established itself as a modern classic. To commemorate the anniversary of its first English-language publication, HarperCollins is proud to offer a special hardcover edition. A young woman in love with a man torn between his love for her and his incorrigible womanizing; one of his mistresses and her humbly faithful lover -- these are the two couples whose story is told in this masterful novel. Controlled by day, Tereza's jealousy awakens by night, transformed into ineffably sad death-dreams, while Tomas, a successful surgeon, alternates loving devotion to the dependent Tereza with the ardent pursuit of other women. Sabina, an independent, free-spirited artist, lives her life as a series of betrayals -- of parents, husband, country, love itself -- whereas her lover, the intellectual Franz, loses all because of his earnest goodness and fidelity. In a world in which lives are shaped by irrevocable choices and by fortuitous events, a world in which everything occurs but once, existence seems to lose its substance, its weight. Hence we feel, says the novelist, \"the unbearable lightness of being\" -- not only as the consequence of our private acts but also in the public sphere, and the two inevitably intertwine. This magnificent novel encompasses the extremes of comedy and tragedy, and embraces, it seems, all aspects of human existence. It juxtaposes geographically distant places (Prague, Geneva, Paris, Thailand, the United States, a forlorn Bohemian village); brilliant and playful reflections (on \"eternal return,\" on kitsch, on man and animals -- Tomas and Tereza have a beloved doe named Karenin); and a variety of styles (from the farcical to the elegiac) to take its place as perhaps the major achievement of one of the world's truly great writers.", 1718117796976 ], [ "cf75b476-c922-4d86-a39f-1700902bbf4c", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "Getting Things Done", 1718117797976 ], [ "cf75b476-c922-4d86-a39f-1700902bbf4c", "d8b6b232-d081-412b-8a5e-1a43c0b2f7fc", 267, 1718117797976 ], [ "cf75b476-c922-4d86-a39f-1700902bbf4c", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "cf75b476-c922-4d86-a39f-1700902bbf4c", 1718117797976 ], [ "cf75b476-c922-4d86-a39f-1700902bbf4c", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=WXcHwzaUd4MC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718117797976 ], [ "cf75b476-c922-4d86-a39f-1700902bbf4c", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "ALLEN/GETTING THINGS DONE", 1718117797976 ], [ "cf374d67-4a53-4cac-895f-c62c285a1109", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "Reboot", 1718117798976 ], [ "cf374d67-4a53-4cac-895f-c62c285a1109", "d8b6b232-d081-412b-8a5e-1a43c0b2f7fc", 288, 1718117798976 ], [ "cf374d67-4a53-4cac-895f-c62c285a1109", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "cf374d67-4a53-4cac-895f-c62c285a1109", 1718117798976 ], [ "cf374d67-4a53-4cac-895f-c62c285a1109", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=SLFuDwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718117798976 ], [ "cf374d67-4a53-4cac-895f-c62c285a1109", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "One of the start-up world’s most in-demand executive coaches—hailed as the “CEO Whisperer” (Gimlet Media)—reveals why radical self-inquiry is critical to professional success and healthy relationships in all realms of life. Jerry Colonna helps start-up CEOs make peace with their demons, the psychological habits and behavioral patterns that have helped them to succeed—molding them into highly accomplished individuals—yet have been detrimental to their relationships and ultimate well-being. Now, this venture capitalist turned executive coach shares his unusual yet highly effective blend of Buddhism, Jungian therapy, and entrepreneurial straight talk to help leaders overcome their own psychological traumas. Reboot is a journey of radical self-inquiry, helping you to reset your life by sorting through the emotional baggage that is holding you back professionally, and even more important, in your relationships. Jerry has taught CEOs and their top teams to realize their potential by using the raw material of their lives to find meaning, to build healthy interpersonal bonds, and to become more compassionate and bold leaders.

Most methods advocate a room-by-room or little-by-little approach, which doom you to pick away at your piles of stuff forever. The KonMari Method, with its revolutionary category-by-category system, leads to lasting results. In fact, none of Kondo’s clients have lapsed (and she still has a three-month waiting list).

In Liquidated, Karen Ho punctures the aura of the abstract, all-powerful market to show how financial markets, and particularly booms and busts, are constructed. Through an in-depth investigation into the everyday experiences and ideologies of Wall Street investment bankers, Ho describes how a financially dominant but highly unstable market system is understood, justified, and produced through the restructuring of corporations and the larger economy. Ho, who worked at an investment bank herself, argues that bankers’ approaches to financial markets and corporate America are inseparable from the structures and strategies of their workplaces. Her ethnographic analysis of those workplaces is filled with the voices of stressed first-year associates, overworked and alienated analysts, undergraduates eager to be hired, and seasoned managing directors. Recruited from elite universities as “the best and the brightest,” investment bankers are socialized into a world of high risk and high reward. They are paid handsomely, with the understanding that they may be let go at any time. Their workplace culture and networks of privilege create the perception that job insecurity builds character, and employee liquidity results in smart, efficient business. Based on this culture of liquidity and compensation practices tied to profligate deal-making, Wall Street investment bankers reshape corporate America in their own image. Their mission is the creation of shareholder value, but Ho demonstrates that their practices and assumptions often produce crises instead. By connecting the values and actions of investment bankers to the construction of markets and the restructuring of U.S. corporations, Liquidated reveals the particular culture of Wall Street often obscured by triumphalist readings of capitalist globalization.", 1718117804976 ], [ "ca45b4db-6ce6-4aa6-980d-16b885300080", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "The Dictator's Handbook", 1718117805976 ], [ "ca45b4db-6ce6-4aa6-980d-16b885300080", "8f7805e4-6006-4450-b790-600bb382c765", "9781610390446", 1718117805976 ], [ "ca45b4db-6ce6-4aa6-980d-16b885300080", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "ca45b4db-6ce6-4aa6-980d-16b885300080", 1718117805976 ], [ "ca45b4db-6ce6-4aa6-980d-16b885300080", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=K6Lk8IgACXMC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718117805976 ], [ "ca45b4db-6ce6-4aa6-980d-16b885300080", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "Explains the theory of political survival, particularly in cases of dictators and despotic governments, arguing that political leaders seek to stay in power using any means necessary, most commonly by attending to the interests of certain coalitions.", 1718117805976 ], [ "ca373486-31cb-45f2-a29a-d0e0f8e3cbc4", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "The Richest Man in Babylon (English)", 1718117806976 ], [ "ca373486-31cb-45f2-a29a-d0e0f8e3cbc4", "8f7805e4-6006-4450-b790-600bb382c765", "9789390085224", 1718117806976 ], [ "ca373486-31cb-45f2-a29a-d0e0f8e3cbc4", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "ca373486-31cb-45f2-a29a-d0e0f8e3cbc4", 1718117806976 ], [ "ca373486-31cb-45f2-a29a-d0e0f8e3cbc4", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=saUEEAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718117806976 ], [ "ca373486-31cb-45f2-a29a-d0e0f8e3cbc4", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "DISCLAIMER: The content of this book is in the public domain, and in this edition we have included only the content which in our opinion was integral to the overall message that the book is seeking to convey.

In this Edgar Award-nominated mystery, John Maddox Roberts takes readers back to a Rome filled with violence and evil. Vicious gangs ruled the streets of Crassus and Pompey, routinely preying on plebeian and patrician alike, so the garroting of a lowly ex-slaved and the disembowelment of a foreign merchant in the dangerous Subura district seemed of little consequence to the Roman hierarchy. But Decius Caecilius Metellus the Younger--highborn commander of the local vigiles--was determined to investigate.

Founders at Work: Stories of Startups' Early Days is a collection of interviews with founders of famous technology companies about what happened in the very earliest days. These people are celebrities now. What was it like when they were just a couple friends with an idea? Founders like Steve Wozniak (Apple), Caterina Fake (Flickr), Mitch Kapor (Lotus), Max Levchin (PayPal), and Sabeer Bhatia (Hotmail) tell you in their own words about their surprising and often very funny discoveries as they learned how to build a company. Where did they get the ideas that made them rich? How did they convince investors to back them? What went wrong, and how did they recover? Nearly all technical people have thought of one day starting or working for a startup. For them, this book is the closest you can come to being a fly on the wall at a successful startup, to learn how it's done. But ultimately these interviews are required reading for anyone who wants to understand business, because startups are business reduced to its essence. The reason their founders become rich is that startups do what businesses do—create value—more intensively than almost any other part of the economy. How? What are the secrets that make successful startups so insanely productive?

The government is expanding. Taxes are increasing. More senseless wars are being planned. Inflation is ballooning. Our basic freedoms are disappearing. The Founding Fathers didn't want any of this. In fact, they said so quite clearly in the Constitution of the United States of America. Unfortunately, that beautiful, ingenious, and revolutionary document is being ignored more and more in Washington. If we are to enjoy peace, freedom, and prosperity once again, we absolutely must return to the principles upon which America was founded. But finally, there is hope . . . In THE REVOLUTION, Texas congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul has exposed the core truths behind everything threatening America, from the real reasons behind the collapse of the dollar and the looming financial crisis, to terrorism and the loss of our precious civil liberties. In this book, Ron Paul provides answers to questions that few even dare to ask. Despite a media blackout, this septuagenarian physician-turned-congressman sparked a movement that has attracted a legion of young, dedicated, enthusiastic supporters . . . a phenomenon that has amazed veteran political observers and made more than one political rival envious.

The disintegration of this group, a process that has been slowly occurring now for more than forty years, has been reported with growing frequency and alarm, but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck. The Vance family story begins hopefully in postwar America. J. D.’s grandparents were “dirt poor and in love,” and moved north from Kentucky’s Appalachia region to Ohio in the hopes of escaping the dreadful poverty around them. They raised a middle-class family, and eventually one of their grandchildren would graduate from Yale Law School, a conventional marker of success in achieving generational upward mobility. But as the family saga of Hillbilly Elegy plays out, we learn that J.D.'s grandparents, aunt, uncle, sister, and, most of all, his mother struggled profoundly with the demands of their new middle-class life, never fully escaping the legacy of abuse, alcoholism, poverty, and trauma so characteristic of their part of America. With piercing honesty, Vance shows how he himself still carries around the demons of his chaotic family history. A deeply moving memoir, with its share of humor and vividly colorful figures, Hillbilly Elegy is the story of how upward mobility really feels. And it is an urgent and troubling meditation on the loss of the American dream for a large segment of this country.", 1718117825976 ], [ "bd9f6155-92ff-42f5-93e9-31fd905a7c02", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "Captain Blood", 1718117826976 ], [ "bd9f6155-92ff-42f5-93e9-31fd905a7c02", "d8b6b232-d081-412b-8a5e-1a43c0b2f7fc", 356, 1718117826976 ], [ "bd9f6155-92ff-42f5-93e9-31fd905a7c02", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "bd9f6155-92ff-42f5-93e9-31fd905a7c02", 1718117826976 ], [ "bd9f6155-92ff-42f5-93e9-31fd905a7c02", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=4bY0AQAAMAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718117826976 ], [ "bd9f6155-92ff-42f5-93e9-31fd905a7c02", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "This book is a classic novel of an Irish rebel who escapes his sentence becomes a notorious Caribbean pirate.", 1718117826976 ], [ "bd53ea0f-d559-4e48-8abf-f5bbfb57bc1a", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "Bellarion the Fortunate", 1718117827976 ], [ "bd53ea0f-d559-4e48-8abf-f5bbfb57bc1a", "8f7805e4-6006-4450-b790-600bb382c765", "9781531295233", 1718117827976 ], [ "bd53ea0f-d559-4e48-8abf-f5bbfb57bc1a", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "bd53ea0f-d559-4e48-8abf-f5bbfb57bc1a", 1718117827976 ], [ "bd53ea0f-d559-4e48-8abf-f5bbfb57bc1a", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=9LR4DwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718117827976 ], [ "bd53ea0f-d559-4e48-8abf-f5bbfb57bc1a", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "Set against a backdrop of pre-Renaissance Italy, convent-bred orphan Bellarion is sidetracked almost immediately upon setting out on a journey from the monastery at Cigliano to study at Pavia.

Did you keep it off? Chances are you didn't. In fact, chances are you regained it all back and possibly then some. You aren't alone. Six out of seven people who are overweight are able to successfully lose weight during their lifetime. But 85-95% of them will fail at keeping it off in the long term. If this sounds bad, consider that ⅓-⅔ of those people will add back on more weight than they lost in the first place!

The other books in the series are Fooled by Randomness, The Black Swan, Antifragile, and Skin in the Game. By the author of the modern classic The Black Swan, this collection of aphorisms and meditations expresses his major ideas in ways you least expect. The Bed of Procrustes takes its title from Greek mythology: the story of a man who made his visitors fit his bed to perfection by either stretching them or cutting their limbs. It represents Taleb’s view of modern civilization’s hubristic side effects—modifying humans to satisfy technology, blaming reality for not fitting economic models, inventing diseases to sell drugs, defining intelligence as what can be tested in a classroom, and convincing people that employment is not slavery. Playful and irreverent, these aphorisms will surprise you by exposing self-delusions you have been living with but never recognized. With a rare combination of pointed wit and potent wisdom, Taleb plows through human illusions, contrasting the classical values of courage, elegance, and erudition against the modern diseases of nerdiness, philistinism, and phoniness. “Taleb’s crystalline nuggets of thought stand alone like esoteric poems.”—Financial Times", 1718117834976 ], [ "b90a359a-16cf-43d3-9b64-149b5d50a816", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "21 Lessons for the 21st Century", 1718117835976 ], [ "b90a359a-16cf-43d3-9b64-149b5d50a816", "8f7805e4-6006-4450-b790-600bb382c765", "9780593132814", 1718117835976 ], [ "b90a359a-16cf-43d3-9b64-149b5d50a816", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "b90a359a-16cf-43d3-9b64-149b5d50a816", 1718117835976 ], [ "b90a359a-16cf-43d3-9b64-149b5d50a816", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=MSKEDwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718117835976 ], [ "b90a359a-16cf-43d3-9b64-149b5d50a816", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In Sapiens, he explored our past. In Homo Deus, he looked to our future. Now, one of the most innovative thinkers on the planet turns to the present to make sense of today’s most pressing issues. “Fascinating . . . a crucial global conversation about how to take on the problems of the twenty-first century.”—Bill Gates, The New York Times Book Review NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY FINANCIAL TIMES AND PAMELA PAUL, KQED How do computers and robots change the meaning of being human? How do we deal with the epidemic of fake news? Are nations and religions still relevant? What should we teach our children? Yuval Noah Harari’s 21 Lessons for the 21st Century is a probing and visionary investigation into today’s most urgent issues as we move into the uncharted territory of the future. As technology advances faster than our understanding of it, hacking becomes a tactic of war, and the world feels more polarized than ever, Harari addresses the challenge of navigating life in the face of constant and disorienting change and raises the important questions we need to ask ourselves in order to survive. In twenty-one accessible chapters that are both provocative and profound, Harari builds on the ideas explored in his previous books, untangling political, technological, social, and existential issues and offering advice on how to prepare for a very different future from the world we now live in: How can we retain freedom of choice when Big Data is watching us? What will the future workforce look like, and how should we ready ourselves for it? How should we deal with the threat of terrorism? Why is liberal democracy in crisis? Harari’s unique ability to make sense of where we have come from and where we are going has captured the imaginations of millions of readers. Here he invites us to consider values, meaning, and personal engagement in a world full of noise and uncertainty. When we are deluged with irrelevant information, clarity is power. Presenting complex contemporary challenges clearly and accessibly, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century is essential reading. “If there were such a thing as a required instruction manual for politicians and thought leaders, Israeli historian Yuval Noah Harari’s 21 Lessons for the 21st Century would deserve serious consideration. In this collection of provocative essays, Harari . . . tackles a daunting array of issues, endeavoring to answer a persistent question: ‘What is happening in the world today, and what is the deep meaning of these events?’”—BookPage (top pick)", 1718117835976 ], [ "b8817170-cfdf-44fe-b1b3-02b983216910", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat", 1718117836976 ], [ "b8817170-cfdf-44fe-b1b3-02b983216910", "d8b6b232-d081-412b-8a5e-1a43c0b2f7fc", 480, 1718117836976 ], [ "b8817170-cfdf-44fe-b1b3-02b983216910", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "b8817170-cfdf-44fe-b1b3-02b983216910", 1718117836976 ], [ "b8817170-cfdf-44fe-b1b3-02b983216910", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=yvqxDgAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718117836976 ], [ "b8817170-cfdf-44fe-b1b3-02b983216910", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "Whether you've never picked up a knife or you're an accomplished chef, there are only four basic factors that determine how good your food will taste.

By identifying the structure of DNA, the molecule of life, Francis Crick and James Watson revolutionized biochemistry and won themselves a Nobel Prize. At the time, Watson was only twenty-four, a young scientist hungry to make his mark. His uncompromisingly honest account of the heady days of their thrilling sprint against other world-class researchers to solve one of science’s greatest mysteries gives a dazzlingly clear picture of a world of brilliant scientists with great gifts, very human ambitions, and bitter rivalries. With humility unspoiled by false modesty, Watson relates his and Crick’s desperate efforts to beat Linus Pauling to the Holy Grail of life sciences, the identification of the basic building block of life.

In fact, the most common enemy lies within: our ego. Early in our careers, it impedes learning and the cultivation of talent. With success, it can blind us to our faults and sow future problems. In failure, it magnifies each blow and makes recovery more difficult. At every stage, ego holds us back. Ego Is the Enemy draws on a vast array of stories and examples, from literature to philosophy to history. We meet fascinating figures such as George Marshall, Jackie Robinson, Katharine Graham, Bill Belichick, and Eleanor Roosevelt, who all reached the highest levels of power and success by conquering their own egos. Their strategies and tactics can be ours as well. In an era that glorifies social media, reality TV, and other forms of shameless self-promotion, the battle against ego must be fought on many fronts.

George gladly accepts the opportunity to be her knight in shining armor. But as soon as he helps her escape a certain disagreeable gentleman, the woman disappears. Suddenly George finds himself baffled, in love, and desperate to find his mysterious damsel in distress. Lady Maud Marsh, daughter of the seventh earl of Marshmoreton, is being pressured to marry her aunt’s stepson, but everyone knows she’s in love with an American she met in Wales. When she flees the family estate to meet her beau in London and a kind stranger in a cab helps her evade her brother, she doesn’t expect to see the man again. But then George shows up at Belpher Castle only to be mistaken for the wrong American, setting off a hilarious brouhaha of romance and manners that is quintessential Wodehouse.

The great secret of our time is that there are still uncharted frontiers to explore and new inventions to create. In Zero to One, legendary entrepreneur and investor Peter Thiel shows how we can find singular ways to create those new things. Thiel begins with the contrarian premise that we live in an age of technological stagnation, even if we’re too distracted by shiny mobile devices to notice. Information technology has improved rapidly, but there is no reason why progress should be limited to computers or Silicon Valley. Progress can be achieved in any industry or area of business. It comes from the most important skill that every leader must master: learning to think for yourself. Doing what someone else already knows how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. But when you do something new, you go from 0 to 1. The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. Tomorrow’s champions will not win by competing ruthlessly in today’s marketplace. They will escape competition altogether, because their businesses will be unique. Zero to One presents at once an optimistic view of the future of progress in America and a new way of thinking about innovation: it starts by learning to ask the questions that lead you to find value in unexpected places.", 1718117845976 ], [ "b416ecda-2f83-472c-a6df-f697b15b17b7", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "Why Information Grows", 1718117846976 ], [ "b416ecda-2f83-472c-a6df-f697b15b17b7", "8f7805e4-6006-4450-b790-600bb382c765", "9780465039715", 1718117846976 ], [ "b416ecda-2f83-472c-a6df-f697b15b17b7", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "b416ecda-2f83-472c-a6df-f697b15b17b7", 1718117846976 ], [ "b416ecda-2f83-472c-a6df-f697b15b17b7", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=0984DgAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api", 1718117846976 ], [ "b416ecda-2f83-472c-a6df-f697b15b17b7", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "\"Hidalgo has made a bold attempt to synthesize a large body of cutting-edge work into a readable, slender volume. This is the future of growth theory.\" --Financial Times What is economic growth? And why, historically, has it occurred in only a few places? Previous efforts to answer these questions have focused on institutions, geography, finances, and psychology. But according to MIT's antidisciplinarian César Hidalgo, understanding the nature of economic growth demands transcending the social sciences and including the natural sciences of information, networks, and complexity. To understand the growth of economies, Hidalgo argues, we first need to understand the growth of order. At first glance, the universe seems hostile to order. Thermodynamics dictates that over time, order-or information-disappears. Whispers vanish in the wind just like the beauty of swirling cigarette smoke collapses into disorderly clouds. But thermodynamics also has loopholes that promote the growth of information in pockets. Although cities are all pockets where information grows, they are not all the same. For every Silicon Valley, Tokyo, and Paris, there are dozens of places with economies that accomplish little more than pulling rocks out of the ground. So, why does the US economy outstrip Brazil's, and Brazil's that of Chad? Why did the technology corridor along Boston's Route 128 languish while Silicon Valley blossomed? In each case, the key is how people, firms, and the networks they form make use of information. Seen from Hidalgo's vantage, economies become distributed computers, made of networks of people, and the problem of economic development becomes the problem of making these computers more powerful. By uncovering the mechanisms that enable the growth of information in nature and society, Why Information Grows lays bear the origins of physical order and economic growth. Situated at the nexus of information theory, physics, sociology, and economics, this book propounds a new theory of how economies can do not just more things, but more interesting things.", 1718117846976 ], [ "b3a069a3-908b-4a1f-ab1e-b5d2eff1ee57", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "Adventures in Caucasia", 1718117847976 ], [ "b3a069a3-908b-4a1f-ab1e-b5d2eff1ee57", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "b3a069a3-908b-4a1f-ab1e-b5d2eff1ee57", 1718117847976 ], [ "b3a069a3-908b-4a1f-ab1e-b5d2eff1ee57", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=7NpBAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api", 1718117847976 ], [ "b3a069a3-908b-4a1f-ab1e-b5d2eff1ee57", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "Dumas describes his daring trip into the Caucasian Mountains, the fierce land of savagely independent mountain tribes.", 1718117847976 ], [ "b2d53c46-ce3b-4dcf-a543-ba53366123be", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "How to Be a Friend", 1718117848976 ], [ "b2d53c46-ce3b-4dcf-a543-ba53366123be", "d8b6b232-d081-412b-8a5e-1a43c0b2f7fc", 188, 1718117848976 ], [ "b2d53c46-ce3b-4dcf-a543-ba53366123be", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "b2d53c46-ce3b-4dcf-a543-ba53366123be", 1718117848976 ], [ "b2d53c46-ce3b-4dcf-a543-ba53366123be", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=KDhhDwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718117848976 ], [ "b2d53c46-ce3b-4dcf-a543-ba53366123be", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "A splendid new translation of one of the greatest books on friendship ever written In a world where social media, online relationships, and relentless self-absorption threaten the very idea of deep and lasting friendships, the search for true friends is more important than ever. In this short book, which is one of the greatest ever written on the subject, the famous Roman politician and philosopher Cicero offers a compelling guide to finding, keeping, and appreciating friends. With wit and wisdom, Cicero shows us not only how to build friendships but also why they must be a key part of our lives. For, as Cicero says, life without friends is not worth living. Filled with timeless advice and insights, Cicero’s heartfelt and moving classic—written in 44 BC and originally titled De Amicitia—has inspired readers for more than two thousand years, from St. Augustine and Dante to Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. Presented here in a lively new translation with the original Latin on facing pages and an inviting introduction, How to Be a Friend explores how to choose the right friends, how to avoid the pitfalls of friendship, and how to live with friends in good times and bad.

Jargon-free and written for all investors-experienced, beginner, and everyone in between-THE INVESTMENT ANSWER distills the process into just five decisions-five straightforward choices that can lead to safe and sound ways to manage your money. When Wall Street veteran Gordon Murray told his good friend and financial advisor, Dan Goldie, that he had only six months to live, Dan responded, \"Do you want to write that book you've always wanted to do?\" The result is this eminently valuable primer which can be read and understood in one sitting, and has advice that benefits you, not Wall Street and the rest of the traditional financial services industry. THE INVESTMENT ANSWER asks readers to make five basic but key decisions to stack the investment odds in their favor. The advice is simple, easy-to-follow, and effective, and can lead to a more profitable portfolio for every investor. Specifically: * Should I invest on my own or seek help from an investment professional? * How should I allocate my investments among stocks, bonds, and cash? * Which specific asset classes within these broad categories should I include in my portfolio? * Should I take an actively managed approach to investing, or follow a passive alternative? * When should I sell assets and when should I buy more?

It is, above all, a way of asserting power.”—The New Yorker In 1984, London is a grim city in the totalitarian state of Oceania where Big Brother is always watching you and the Thought Police can practically read your mind. Winston Smith is a man in grave danger for the simple reason that his memory still functions. Drawn into a forbidden love affair, Winston finds the courage to join a secret revolutionary organization called The Brotherhood, dedicated to the destruction of the Party. Together with his beloved Julia, he hazards his life in a deadly match against the powers that be. Lionel Trilling said of Orwell’s masterpiece, “1984 is a profound, terrifying, and wholly fascinating book. It is a fantasy of the political future, and like any such fantasy, serves its author as a magnifying device for an examination of the present.” Though the year 1984 now exists in the past, Orwell’s novel remains an urgent call for the individual willing to speak truth to power.", 1718117863976 ], [ "a786f253-dfe7-45c0-8cab-d4cddd480c9b", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "Company", 1718117864976 ], [ "a786f253-dfe7-45c0-8cab-d4cddd480c9b", "8f7805e4-6006-4450-b790-600bb382c765", "9780307279668", 1718117864976 ], [ "a786f253-dfe7-45c0-8cab-d4cddd480c9b", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "a786f253-dfe7-45c0-8cab-d4cddd480c9b", 1718117864976 ], [ "a786f253-dfe7-45c0-8cab-d4cddd480c9b", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=6EGQybY0iRIC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718117864976 ], [ "a786f253-dfe7-45c0-8cab-d4cddd480c9b", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "Stephen Jones is a shiny new hire at Zephyr Holdings.

In A Guide to the Good Life, William B. Irvine plumbs the wisdom of Stoic philosophy, one of the most popular and successful schools of thought in ancient Rome, and shows how its insight and advice are still remarkably applicable to modern lives. In A Guide to the Good Life, Irvine offers a refreshing presentation of Stoicism, showing how this ancient philosophy can still direct us toward a better life. Using the psychological insights and the practical techniques of the Stoics, Irvine offers a roadmap for anyone seeking to avoid the feelings of chronic dissatisfaction that plague so many of us. Irvine looks at various Stoic techniques for attaining tranquility and shows how to put these techniques to work in our own life. As he does so, he describes his own experiences practicing Stoicism and offers valuable first-hand advice for anyone wishing to live better by following in the footsteps of these ancient philosophers. Readers learn how to minimize worry, how to let go of the past and focus our efforts on the things we can control, and how to deal with insults, grief, old age, and the distracting temptations of fame and fortune. We learn from Marcus Aurelius the importance of prizing only things of true value, and from Epictetus we learn how to be more content with what we have. Finally, A Guide to the Good Life shows readers how to become thoughtful observers of their own lives. If we watch ourselves as we go about our daily business and later reflect on what we saw, we can better identify the sources of distress and eventually avoid that pain in our life.

Somewhere out beyond the edge of the universe there is a library that contains an infinite number of books, each one the story of another reality. One tells the story of your life as it is, along with another book for the other life you could have lived if you had made a different choice at any point in your life. While we all wonder how our lives might have been, what if you had the chance to go to the library and see for yourself? Would any of these other lives truly be better? In The Midnight Library, Matt Haig's enchanting blockbuster novel, Nora Seed finds herself faced with this decision. Faced with the possibility of changing her life for a new one, following a different career, undoing old breakups, realizing her dreams of becoming a glaciologist; she must search within herself as she travels through the Midnight Library to decide what is truly fulfilling in life, and what makes it worth living in the first place.", 1718117870976 ], [ "a28334c3-0db8-4117-b6ad-e709cafc067f", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "A History of Private Life: From pagan Rome to Byzantium", 1718117871976 ], [ "a28334c3-0db8-4117-b6ad-e709cafc067f", "8f7805e4-6006-4450-b790-600bb382c765", "9780674399747", 1718117871976 ], [ "a28334c3-0db8-4117-b6ad-e709cafc067f", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "a28334c3-0db8-4117-b6ad-e709cafc067f", 1718117871976 ], [ "a28334c3-0db8-4117-b6ad-e709cafc067f", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=BqXQUQ4nW4gC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718117871976 ], [ "a28334c3-0db8-4117-b6ad-e709cafc067f", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "Library has Vol. 1-5.", 1718117871976 ], [ "a3ec7ae7-f690-4275-b988-98459f4254cb", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "The Right Price", 1718117872976 ], [ "a3ec7ae7-f690-4275-b988-98459f4254cb", "8f7805e4-6006-4450-b790-600bb382c765", "9780197512883", 1718117872976 ], [ "a3ec7ae7-f690-4275-b988-98459f4254cb", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "a3ec7ae7-f690-4275-b988-98459f4254cb", 1718117872976 ], [ "a3ec7ae7-f690-4275-b988-98459f4254cb", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=yTkqEAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718117872976 ], [ "a3ec7ae7-f690-4275-b988-98459f4254cb", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "The prescription drug market -- Proposed solutions for rising drug prices -- Measuring the value of prescription drugs -- Measuring drug value : whose job is it anyway? -- Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER) -- Other US value assessment frameworks -- Do drugs for special populations warrant higher prices? -- Improving value measurement -- Aligning prices with value -- The path forward.", 1718117872976 ], [ "a339f84d-5f5b-4217-8d12-18cd3f1955db", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "The 4-Hour Work Week", 1718117873976 ], [ "a339f84d-5f5b-4217-8d12-18cd3f1955db", "d8b6b232-d081-412b-8a5e-1a43c0b2f7fc", 416, 1718117873976 ], [ "a339f84d-5f5b-4217-8d12-18cd3f1955db", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "a339f84d-5f5b-4217-8d12-18cd3f1955db", 1718117873976 ], [ "a339f84d-5f5b-4217-8d12-18cd3f1955db", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=tQ1C-rvAfJUC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api", 1718117873976 ], [ "a339f84d-5f5b-4217-8d12-18cd3f1955db", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "A new, updated and expanded edition of this New York Times bestseller on how to reconstruct your life so it's not all about work Forget the old concept of retirement and the rest of the deferred-life plan - there is no need to wait and every reason not to, especially in unpredictable economic times.

But everything he loves is lost when the country begins to run amok in the turbulent 1960s. Not even the most private, well-intentioned citizen, it seems, gets to sidestep the sweep of history. With vigorous realism, Roth takes us back to the conflicts and violent transitions of the 1960s. This is a book about loving—and hating—America.

For all that’s been written about the Four over the last two decades, no one has captured their power and staggering success as insightfully as Scott Galloway. Instead of buying the myths these compa­nies broadcast, Galloway asks fundamental questions. How did the Four infiltrate our lives so completely that they’re almost impossible to avoid (or boycott)? Why does the stock market forgive them for sins that would destroy other firms? And as they race to become the world’s first trillion-dollar company, can anyone chal­lenge them? In the same irreverent style that has made him one of the world’s most celebrated business professors, Galloway deconstructs the strategies of the Four that lurk beneath their shiny veneers. He shows how they manipulate the fundamental emotional needs that have driven us since our ancestors lived in caves, at a speed and scope others can’t match. And he reveals how you can apply the lessons of their ascent to your own business or career.

Both the law of large numbers and the generalized central limit mechanisms operate in highly idiosyncratic ways outside the standard Gaussian or Levy-Stable basins of convergence. A few examples: - The sample mean is rarely in line with the population mean, with effect on \"naïve empiricism,\" but can be sometimes be estimated via parametric methods. - The \"empirical distribution\" is rarely empirical. - Parameter uncertainty has compounding effects on statistical metrics. - Dimension reduction (principal components) fails. - Inequality estimators (Gini or quantile contributions) are not additive and produce wrong results. - Many \"biases\" found in psychology become entirely rational under more sophisticated probability distributions. - Most of the failures of financial economics, econometrics, and behavioral economics can be attributed to using the wrong distributions.

Citing examples ranging from Hammurabi to Seneca, Antaeus the Giant to Donald Trump, Nassim Nicholas Taleb shows how the willingness to accept one’s own risks is an essential attribute of heroes, saints, and flourishing people in all walks of life. As always both accessible and iconoclastic, Taleb challenges long-held beliefs about the values of those who spearhead military interventions, make financial investments, and propagate religious faiths. Among his insights: • For social justice, focus on symmetry and risk sharing. You cannot make profits and transfer the risks to others, as bankers and large corporations do. You cannot get rich without owning your own risk and paying for your own losses. Forcing skin in the game corrects this asymmetry better than thousands of laws and regulations. • Ethical rules aren’t universal. You’re part of a group larger than you, but it’s still smaller than humanity in general. • Minorities, not majorities, run the world. The world is not run by consensus but by stubborn minorities imposing their tastes and ethics on others. • You can be an intellectual yet still be an idiot. “Educated philistines” have been wrong on everything from Stalinism to Iraq to low-carb diets. • Beware of complicated solutions (that someone was paid to find). A simple barbell can build muscle better than expensive new machines. • True religion is commitment, not just faith. How much you believe in something is manifested only by what you’re willing to risk for it. The phrase “skin in the game” is one we have often heard but rarely stopped to truly dissect. It is the backbone of risk management, but it’s also an astonishingly rich worldview that, as Taleb shows in this book, applies to all aspects of our lives. As Taleb says, “The symmetry of skin in the game is a simple rule that’s necessary for fairness and justice, and the ultimate BS-buster,” and “Never trust anyone who doesn’t have skin in the game. Without it, fools and crooks will benefit, and their mistakes will never come back to haunt them.”", 1718117882976 ], [ "9f95697d-9aaa-41e7-8eda-79325a19e5e9", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories", 1718117883976 ], [ "9f95697d-9aaa-41e7-8eda-79325a19e5e9", "8f7805e4-6006-4450-b790-600bb382c765", "9781481442541", 1718117883976 ], [ "9f95697d-9aaa-41e7-8eda-79325a19e5e9", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "9f95697d-9aaa-41e7-8eda-79325a19e5e9", 1718117883976 ], [ "9f95697d-9aaa-41e7-8eda-79325a19e5e9", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=TNyoCwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718117883976 ], [ "9f95697d-9aaa-41e7-8eda-79325a19e5e9", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "Presents the author's selection of his best short stories, as well as a new piece, in a collection that includes \"The Man Who Ended History: A Documentary,\" \"Mono No Aware\" and \"The Waves.\"", 1718117883976 ], [ "9f60809f-7064-43f5-a7fc-4f4bf383f720", "f6e940f7-75fd-4aaf-9790-e183174c2abd", "This was the year of COVID!

In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum. Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination.

Based on secret grand jury transcripts, interviews, and actual trading records, and containing explosive new revelations about Michael Milken and Ivan Boesky written especially for this paperback edition, Den of Thieves weaves all the facts into an unforgettable narrative—a portrait of human nature, big business, and crime of unparalleled proportions.", 1718117900976 ], [ "95417f8f-7f80-4fba-890c-e8ec5fffc69b", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "The Status Syndrome", 1718117901976 ], [ "95417f8f-7f80-4fba-890c-e8ec5fffc69b", "d8b6b232-d081-412b-8a5e-1a43c0b2f7fc", 336, 1718117901976 ], [ "95417f8f-7f80-4fba-890c-e8ec5fffc69b", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "95417f8f-7f80-4fba-890c-e8ec5fffc69b", 1718117901976 ], [ "95417f8f-7f80-4fba-890c-e8ec5fffc69b", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=Qbz9NfYdg6UC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718117901976 ], [ "95417f8f-7f80-4fba-890c-e8ec5fffc69b", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "Based on decades of his own research, a pioneering epidemiologist reveals the surprising factors behind who lives longer and why You probably didn't realize that when you graduated from college you increased your lifespan, or that your co-worker who has a master's degree is more likely to live a longer and healthier life. Seemingly small social differences in education, job title, income, even the size of your house or apartment have a profound impact on your health. For years we have focused merely on how advances in technology and genetics can extend our lives and cure disease. But as Sir Michael Marmot argues, we are looking at the issue backwards. Social inequalities are not a footnote to the real causes of ill health in industrialized countries; they are the cause. The psychological experience of inequality, Marmot shows, has a profound effect on our lives. And while this may be alarming, it also suggests a ray of hope. If we can understand these social inequalities, we can also mitigate their effects. In this groundbreaking book, Marmot, an internationally renowned epidemiologist, marshals evidence from around the world and from nearly thirty years of his research to demonstrate that how much control you have over your life and the opportunities you have for full social participation are crucial for health, well-being, and longevity. Just as Bowling Alone changed the way we think about community in America, The Status Syndrome will change the way we think about our society and how we live our lives.", 1718117901976 ], [ "91cf8c02-b425-4da1-a6bb-7ce72fa1beb7", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "91cf8c02-b425-4da1-a6bb-7ce72fa1beb7", 1718117902976 ], [ "91cf8c02-b425-4da1-a6bb-7ce72fa1beb7", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=9kQSjiUX1RIC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718117902976 ], [ "91cf8c02-b425-4da1-a6bb-7ce72fa1beb7", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "The Myth of Sisyphus And Other Essays", 1718117902976 ], [ "91cf8c02-b425-4da1-a6bb-7ce72fa1beb7", "8f7805e4-6006-4450-b790-600bb382c765", "9780307827821", 1718117902976 ], [ "91cf8c02-b425-4da1-a6bb-7ce72fa1beb7", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "One of the most influential works of this century, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays is a crucial exposition of existentialist thought.

As recounted by Ben Rich, the operation's brilliant boss for nearly two decades, the chronicle of Lockheed's legendary Skunk Works is a drama of cold war confrontations and Gulf War air combat, of extraordinary feats of engineering and human achievement against fantastic odds. Here are up-close portraits of the maverick band of scientists and engineers who made the Skunk Works so renowned. Filled with telling personal anecdotes and high adventure, with narratives from the CIA and from Air Force pilots who flew the many classified, risky missions, this book is a riveting portrait of the most spectacular aviation triumphs of the twentieth century. \"Thoroughly engrossing.\" --Los Angeles Times Book Review", 1718117910976 ], [ "8fb3220c-5a11-4f0c-b0a5-d1635fef85c9", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "Feeling Good", 1718117911976 ], [ "8fb3220c-5a11-4f0c-b0a5-d1635fef85c9", "d8b6b232-d081-412b-8a5e-1a43c0b2f7fc", 466, 1718117911976 ], [ "8fb3220c-5a11-4f0c-b0a5-d1635fef85c9", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "8fb3220c-5a11-4f0c-b0a5-d1635fef85c9", 1718117911976 ], [ "8fb3220c-5a11-4f0c-b0a5-d1635fef85c9", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=FNPSPBhueH0C&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api", 1718117911976 ], [ "8fb3220c-5a11-4f0c-b0a5-d1635fef85c9", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "A guidebook to mood therapy, used to prevent depression and negative moods.", 1718117911976 ], [ "8f868663-e147-462e-bc44-13ca32cf2e9e", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express", 1718117912976 ], [ "8f868663-e147-462e-bc44-13ca32cf2e9e", "8f7805e4-6006-4450-b790-600bb382c765", "9780573707735", 1718117912976 ], [ "8f868663-e147-462e-bc44-13ca32cf2e9e", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "8f868663-e147-462e-bc44-13ca32cf2e9e", 1718117912976 ], [ "8f868663-e147-462e-bc44-13ca32cf2e9e", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=tDj1DwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718117912976 ], [ "8f868663-e147-462e-bc44-13ca32cf2e9e", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks.

The white tiger of this novel is Balram Halwai, a poor Indian villager whose great ambition leads him to the zenith of Indian business culture, the world of the Bangalore entrepreneur. On the occasion of the president of China’s impending trip to Bangalore, Balram writes a letter to him describing his transformation and his experience as driver and servant to a wealthy Indian family, which he thinks exemplifies the contradictions and complications of Indian society.

It’s truly moving, eye-opening, incredibly vivid.”—Jon Stewart, The Daily Show NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR • The Wall Street Journal • Bloomberg Business • Bookish FINALIST FOR THE BOOKS FOR A BETTER LIFE FIRST BOOK AWARD • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER You’ve never read a book like The Reason I Jump. Written by Naoki Higashida, a very smart, very self-aware, and very charming thirteen-year-old boy with autism, it is a one-of-a-kind memoir that demonstrates how an autistic mind thinks, feels, perceives, and responds in ways few of us can imagine. Parents and family members who never thought they could get inside the head of their autistic loved one at last have a way to break through to the curious, subtle, and complex life within. Using an alphabet grid to painstakingly construct words, sentences, and thoughts that he is unable to speak out loud, Naoki answers even the most delicate questions that people want to know. Questions such as: “Why do people with autism talk so loudly and weirdly?” “Why do you line up your toy cars and blocks?” “Why don’t you make eye contact when you’re talking?” and “What’s the reason you jump?” (Naoki’s answer: “When I’m jumping, it’s as if my feelings are going upward to the sky.”) With disarming honesty and a generous heart, Naoki shares his unique point of view on not only autism but life itself. His insights—into the mystery of words, the wonders of laughter, and the elusiveness of memory—are so startling, so strange, and so powerful that you will never look at the world the same way again. In his introduction, bestselling novelist David Mitchell writes that Naoki’s words allowed him to feel, for the first time, as if his own autistic child was explaining what was happening in his mind. “It is no exaggeration to say that The Reason I Jump allowed me to round a corner in our relationship.” This translation was a labor of love by David and his wife, KA Yoshida, so they’d be able to share that feeling with friends, the wider autism community, and beyond. Naoki’s book, in its beauty, truthfulness, and simplicity, is a gift to be shared.

In a series of long essays, this book presents an in-depth look at key beliefs behind many mistaken and dangerous actions, policies, and trends. It presents eye-opening insights into the historical development of the ghetto culture that is today wrongly seen as a unique black identity - a culture cheered on toward self-destruction by white liberals who consider themselves ''friends'' of blacks. An essay titled ''the Real History of Slavery'' presents a jolting re-examination of that tragic institution and the narrow and distorted way it is too often seen today. The reasons for the venomous hatred of Jews, and of other groups like them in countries around the world, are explored in an essay that asks, ''Are Jews Generic?'' Misconceptions of German history in general, and of the Nazi era in particular, are also re-examined. So too are the inspiring achievements and painful tragedies of black education in the United States.

Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read Speaking to us with the wisdom of age and in a voice at once haunting and startlingly immediate, Nitta Sayuri tells the story of her life as a geisha. It begins in a poor fishing village in 1929, when, as a nine-year-old girl with unusual blue-gray eyes, she is taken from her home and sold into slavery to a renowned geisha house. We witness her transformation as she learns the rigorous arts of the geisha: dance and music; wearing kimono, elaborate makeup, and hair; pouring sake to reveal just a touch of inner wrist; competing with a jealous rival for men's solicitude and the money that goes with it. In Memoirs of a Geisha, we enter a world where appearances are paramount; where a girl's virginity is auctioned to the highest bidder; where women are trained to beguile the most powerful men; and where love is scorned as illusion.

Gravity affects every aspect of our physical being, but there’s a psychological force just as powerful—yet almost nobody has heard of it. It’s responsible for bringing groups of people together and pulling them apart, making certain goals attractive to some and not to others, and fueling cycles of anxiety and conflict. In Wanting, Luke Burgis draws on the work of French polymath René Girard to bring this hidden force to light and reveals how it shapes our lives and societies. According to Girard, humans don’t desire anything independently. Human desire is mimetic—we imitate what other people want. This affects the way we choose partners, friends, careers, clothes, and vacation destinations. Mimetic desire is responsible for the formation of our very identities. It explains the enduring relevancy of Shakespeare’s plays, why Peter Thiel decided to be the first investor in Facebook, and why our world is growing more divided as it becomes more connected. Wanting also shows that conflict does not arise because of our differences—it comes from our sameness. Because we learn to want what other people want, we often end up competing for the same things. Ignoring our large similarities, we cling to our perceived differences. Drawing on his experience as an entrepreneur, teacher, and student of classical philosophy and theology, Burgis shares tactics that help turn blind wanting into intentional wanting--not by trying to rid ourselves of desire, but by desiring differently. It’s possible to be more in control of the things we want, to achieve more independence from trends and bubbles, and to find more meaning in our work and lives. The future will be shaped by our desires. Wanting shows us how to desire a better one.", 1718117932976 ], [ "820be64f-4a8c-4895-8762-f9e329613565", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "Vehicles", 1718117933976 ], [ "820be64f-4a8c-4895-8762-f9e329613565", "8f7805e4-6006-4450-b790-600bb382c765", "9780262521123", 1718117933976 ], [ "820be64f-4a8c-4895-8762-f9e329613565", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "820be64f-4a8c-4895-8762-f9e329613565", 1718117933976 ], [ "820be64f-4a8c-4895-8762-f9e329613565", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=7KkUAT_q_sQC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718117933976 ], [ "820be64f-4a8c-4895-8762-f9e329613565", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "The \"vehicles\" described in this light-hearted yet wonderfully skillful exercise in fictional science are the inventions of one of the world's eminent brain researchers.", 1718117933976 ], [ "80bc4b8f-9ccf-46b7-8ef8-1e3bcfbd64f5", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "Ideals of the Samurai", 1718117934976 ], [ "80bc4b8f-9ccf-46b7-8ef8-1e3bcfbd64f5", "8f7805e4-6006-4450-b790-600bb382c765", "9780897500814", 1718117934976 ], [ "80bc4b8f-9ccf-46b7-8ef8-1e3bcfbd64f5", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "80bc4b8f-9ccf-46b7-8ef8-1e3bcfbd64f5", 1718117934976 ], [ "80bc4b8f-9ccf-46b7-8ef8-1e3bcfbd64f5", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=zAl8YHtqXxgC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718117934976 ], [ "80bc4b8f-9ccf-46b7-8ef8-1e3bcfbd64f5", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "An anthology of 12 samurai manuscripts showing the meaning and guiding principles of samurai life.", 1718117934976 ], [ "804d0712-e22a-4059-9994-cab2441edc26", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "Crime and Punishment", 1718117935976 ], [ "804d0712-e22a-4059-9994-cab2441edc26", "8f7805e4-6006-4450-b790-600bb382c765", "9780679640035", 1718117935976 ], [ "804d0712-e22a-4059-9994-cab2441edc26", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "804d0712-e22a-4059-9994-cab2441edc26", 1718117935976 ], [ "804d0712-e22a-4059-9994-cab2441edc26", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=Tb00PitOrZMC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718117935976 ], [ "804d0712-e22a-4059-9994-cab2441edc26", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read A desperate young man plans the perfect crime—the murder of a despicable pawnbroker, an old women no one loves and no one will mourn.

On a winter day in 1903, in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, two brothers—bicycle mechanics from Dayton, Ohio—changed history. But it would take the world some time to believe that the age of flight had begun, with the first powered machine carrying a pilot. Orville and Wilbur Wright were men of exceptional courage and determination, and of far-ranging intellectual interests and ceaseless curiosity. When they worked together, no problem seemed to be insurmountable. Wilbur was unquestionably a genius. Orville had such mechanical ingenuity as few had ever seen. That they had no more than a public high school education and little money never stopped them in their mission to take to the air. Nothing did, not even the self-evident reality that every time they took off, they risked being killed. In this “enjoyable, fast-paced tale” (The Economist), master historian David McCullough “shows as never before how two Ohio boys from a remarkable family taught the world to fly” (The Washington Post) and “captures the marvel of what the Wrights accomplished” (The Wall Street Journal). He draws on the extensive Wright family papers to profile not only the brothers but their sister, Katharine, without whom things might well have gone differently for them.

Françoise Gilot was in her early twenties when she met the sixty-one-year-old Pablo Picasso in 1943. Brought up in a well-to-do upper-middle-class family, who had sent her to Cambridge and the Sorbonne and hoped that she would go into law, the young woman defied their wishes and set her sights on being an artist. Her introduction to Picasso led to a friendship, a love affair, and a relationship of ten years, during which Gilot gave birth to Picasso’s two children, Paloma and Claude. Gilot was one of Picasso’s muses; she was also very much her own woman, determined to make herself into the remarkable painter she did indeed become. Life with Picasso, written with Carlton Lake and published in 1961, is about Picasso the artist and Picasso the man. We hear him talking about painting and sculpture, his life, his career, as well as other artists, both contemporaries and old masters. We glimpse Picasso in his many and volatile moods, dismissing his work, exultant over his work, entertaining his various superstitions, being an anxious father. But Life with Picasso is not only a portrait of a great artist at the height of his fame; it is also a picture of a talented young woman of exacting intelligence at the outset of her own notable career.", 1718117946976 ], [ "7b0ee5da-9644-45b8-ad12-f0b54813bf7e", "f6e940f7-75fd-4aaf-9790-e183174c2abd", "I love reading about the great thinkers and doers of our history.

Explore some of the most cutting-edge databases available - from a traditional relational database to newer NoSQL approaches - and make informed decisions about challenging data storage problems. This is the only comprehensive guide to the world of NoSQL databases, with in-depth practical and conceptual introductions to seven different technologies: Redis, Neo4J, CouchDB, MongoDB, HBase, Postgres, and DynamoDB. This second edition includes a new chapter on DynamoDB and updated content for each chapter. While relational databases such as MySQL remain as relevant as ever, the alternative, NoSQL paradigm has opened up new horizons in performance and scalability and changed the way we approach data-centric problems. This book presents the essential concepts behind each database alongside hands-on examples that make each technology come alive. With each database, tackle a real-world problem that highlights the concepts and features that make it shine. Along the way, explore five database models - relational, key/value, columnar, document, and graph - from the perspective of challenges faced by real applications. Learn how MongoDB and CouchDB are strikingly different, make your applications faster with Redis and more connected with Neo4J, build a cluster of HBase servers using cloud services such as Amazon's Elastic MapReduce, and more. This new edition brings a brand new chapter on DynamoDB, updated code samples and exercises, and a more up-to-date account of each database's feature set. Whether you're a programmer building the next big thing, a data scientist seeking solutions to thorny problems, or a technology enthusiast venturing into new territory, you will find something to inspire you in this book.

But Vladimir Nabokov's wise, ironic, elegant masterpiece owes its stature as one of the twentieth century's novels of record not to the controversy its material aroused but to its author's use of that material to tell a love story almost shocking in its beauty and tenderness. Awe and exhilaration-along with heartbreak and mordant wit-abound in this account of the aging Humbert Humbert's obsessive, devouring, and doomed passion for the nymphet Dolores Haze. Lolita is also the story of a hypercivilized European colliding with the cheerful barbarism of postwar America, but most of all, it is a meditation on love-love as outrage and hallucination, madness and transformation.With an Introduction by Martin Amis \"From the Hardcover edition.\"", 1718117962976 ], [ "7201953e-7f88-4ea3-bec5-0ac40894ab0a", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "Perfectly Reasonable Deviations from the Beaten Track", 1718117963976 ], [ "7201953e-7f88-4ea3-bec5-0ac40894ab0a", "d8b6b232-d081-412b-8a5e-1a43c0b2f7fc", 512, 1718117963976 ], [ "7201953e-7f88-4ea3-bec5-0ac40894ab0a", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "7201953e-7f88-4ea3-bec5-0ac40894ab0a", 1718117963976 ], [ "7201953e-7f88-4ea3-bec5-0ac40894ab0a", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=zDwx8nViavoC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718117963976 ], [ "7201953e-7f88-4ea3-bec5-0ac40894ab0a", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "A Nobel Prize-winning physicist, a loving husband and father, an enthusiastic teacher, a surprisingly accomplished bongo player, and a genius of the highest caliber---Richard P. Feynman was all these and more. Perfectly Reasonable Deviations From the Beaten Track--collecting over forty years' worth of Feynman's letters--offers an unprecedented look at the writer and thinker whose scientific mind and lust for life made him a legend in his own time. Containing missives to and from such scientific luminaries as Victor Weisskopf, Stephen Wolfram, James Watson, and Edward Teller, as well as a remarkable selection of letters to and from fans, students, family, and people from around the world eager for Feynman's advice and counsel, Perfectly Reasonable Deviations From the Beaten Track not only illuminates the personal relationships that underwrote the key developments in modern science, but also forms the most intimate look at Feynman yet available. Feynman was a man many felt close to but few really knew, and this collection reveals the full wisdom and private passion of a personality that captivated everyone it touched. Perfectly Reasonable Deviations From the Beaten Track is an eloquent testimony to the virtue of approaching the world with an inquiring eye; it demonstrates the full extent of the Feynman legacy like never before.

Both exhibitions will have the same curator and will be held at the same time. The shows will illustrate exactly what it is that linked the two artists: line, and the use of expressive force. In Schiele's work the evolution of his unique, idiosyncratic uses of line provides a visceral element of expression that allows the viewer to trace his artistic development over the course of distinctive periods within their bodies of work. This, the catalogue of the Egon Schiele exhibition, concentrates on themes of the body and portraits, through drawings and watercolors, showcasing Schiele's incredible expressive force. The role of the line thus serves as a fascinating and illuminating point of reference and unique testament to the artist's innate and inimitable oeuvre. Egon Schiele explores the paramountcy of the line through concepts such as the ornamental line, the fragmented lines of humanity during the war years, the existential line of Expressionism, and the reconstructed line at the dawn of the First World War. Schiele relentlessly sought to formulate concrete concepts of his exploration of the figurative.

What should we do, or leave undone, in a day or a lifetime? How much messiness should we accept? What balance of new activities and familiar favorites is the most fulfilling? These may seem like uniquely human quandaries, but they are not: computers, too, face the same constraints, so computer scientists have been grappling with their version of such issues for decades. And the solutions they've found have much to teach us. In a dazzlingly interdisciplinary work, acclaimed author Brian Christian and cognitive scientist Tom Griffiths show how the algorithms used by computers can also untangle very human questions. They explain how to have better hunches and when to leave things to chance, how to deal with overwhelming choices and how best to connect with others.

The son of two KGB agents and the product of the best Soviet institutions, the savvy, sophisticated Gordievsky grew to see his nation's communism as both criminal and philistine. He took his first posting for Russian intelligence in 1968 and eventually became the Soviet Union's top man in London, but from 1973 on he was secretly working for MI6. For nearly a decade, as the Cold War reached its twilight, Gordievsky helped the West turn the tables on the KGB, exposing Russian spies and helping to foil countless intelligence plots, as the Soviet leadership grew increasingly paranoid at the United States's nuclear first-strike capabilities and brought the world closer to the brink of war. Desperate to keep the circle of trust close, MI6 never revealed Gordievsky's name to its counterparts in the CIA, which in turn grew obsessed with figuring out the identity of Britain's obviously top-level source. Their obsession ultimately doomed Gordievsky: the CIA officer assigned to identify him was none other than Aldrich Ames, the man who would become infamous for secretly spying for the Soviets. Unfolding the delicious three-way gamesmanship between America, Britain, and the Soviet Union, and culminating in the gripping cinematic beat-by-beat of Gordievsky's nail-biting escape from Moscow in 1985, Ben Macintyre's latest may be his best yet. Like the greatest novels of John le Carré, it brings readers deep into a world of treachery and betrayal, where the lines bleed between the personal and the professional, and one man's hatred of communism had the power to change the future of nations.", 1718117966976 ], [ "71b0f0ae-c027-443b-ac42-5c630473d333", "f6e940f7-75fd-4aaf-9790-e183174c2abd", "", 1718117967976 ], [ "71b0f0ae-c027-443b-ac42-5c630473d333", "c030a0a6-82cf-455f-9ecd-88c43cd11a4a", 3, 1718117967976 ], [ "71b0f0ae-c027-443b-ac42-5c630473d333", "820a827c-5ddf-4452-8263-dac7e6a53e56", "Science, Math, & Tech", 1718117967976 ], [ "71b0f0ae-c027-443b-ac42-5c630473d333", "1fcc2b72-02be-405b-918c-8e441f75dcab", "71b0f0ae-c027-443b-ac42-5c630473d333", 1718117967976 ], [ "71b0f0ae-c027-443b-ac42-5c630473d333", "fb032e43-46c7-48dc-85d8-6ab517c9f1d4", "1e116eb2-b7e4-4e47-9d6e-b08ec20015ac", 1718117967976 ], [ "71b0f0ae-c027-443b-ac42-5c630473d333", "fb032e43-46c7-48dc-85d8-6ab517c9f1d4", "ba835186-e7f9-4bb7-8bc2-d82645bdd42d", 1718117967976 ], [ "71b0f0ae-c027-443b-ac42-5c630473d333", "fb032e43-46c7-48dc-85d8-6ab517c9f1d4", "71c67b70-5206-42ef-8c75-64cf439d0d6b", 1718117967976 ], [ "71b0f0ae-c027-443b-ac42-5c630473d333", "fb032e43-46c7-48dc-85d8-6ab517c9f1d4", "4d8e021b-0e6b-493e-a5d5-175e0d530695", 1718117967976 ], [ "71b0f0ae-c027-443b-ac42-5c630473d333", "fb032e43-46c7-48dc-85d8-6ab517c9f1d4", "ff24f15b-9ced-4eb1-b0c0-3fa0cbdfa3a0", 1718117967976 ], [ "71b0f0ae-c027-443b-ac42-5c630473d333", "fb032e43-46c7-48dc-85d8-6ab517c9f1d4", "ebf15501-de6b-4dc4-9efe-ff7f6fba84da", 1718117967976 ], [ "71b0f0ae-c027-443b-ac42-5c630473d333", "fb032e43-46c7-48dc-85d8-6ab517c9f1d4", "05ae1e40-4023-42a4-8a43-d5c7334ab281", 1718117967976 ], [ "71b0f0ae-c027-443b-ac42-5c630473d333", "fb032e43-46c7-48dc-85d8-6ab517c9f1d4", "b416ecda-2f83-472c-a6df-f697b15b17b7", 1718117967976 ], [ "71b0f0ae-c027-443b-ac42-5c630473d333", "fb032e43-46c7-48dc-85d8-6ab517c9f1d4", "8f1dcd34-92a1-41ac-97c5-9bed0ce0212b", 1718117967976 ], [ "71b0f0ae-c027-443b-ac42-5c630473d333", "fb032e43-46c7-48dc-85d8-6ab517c9f1d4", "dbcb3cc3-81dd-4c37-a136-0ac2d158ce59", 1718117967976 ], [ "71b0f0ae-c027-443b-ac42-5c630473d333", "fb032e43-46c7-48dc-85d8-6ab517c9f1d4", "6fa43667-4295-41ba-bbb5-eccee92921f3", 1718117967976 ], [ "71b0f0ae-c027-443b-ac42-5c630473d333", "fb032e43-46c7-48dc-85d8-6ab517c9f1d4", "b44249bf-049c-4bb7-bf49-889d261dd438", 1718117967976 ], [ "71b0f0ae-c027-443b-ac42-5c630473d333", "fb032e43-46c7-48dc-85d8-6ab517c9f1d4", "5994bc51-1882-46c8-8ae9-8f14d27949a5", 1718117967976 ], [ "7191e856-7c4e-40c7-9ef2-ded1f5f107a3", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "Eat, Pray, Love", 1718117968976 ], [ "7191e856-7c4e-40c7-9ef2-ded1f5f107a3", "d8b6b232-d081-412b-8a5e-1a43c0b2f7fc", 349, 1718117968976 ], [ "7191e856-7c4e-40c7-9ef2-ded1f5f107a3", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "7191e856-7c4e-40c7-9ef2-ded1f5f107a3", 1718117968976 ], [ "7191e856-7c4e-40c7-9ef2-ded1f5f107a3", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=QdCNeNx6LJUC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718117968976 ], [ "7191e856-7c4e-40c7-9ef2-ded1f5f107a3", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "The Number One international bestseller, Eat, Pray Love is a journey around the world, a quest for spiritual enlightenment and a story for anyone who has battled with divorce, depression and heartbreak.", 1718117968976 ], [ "7141ede3-1d3c-49e9-8c8c-3ea691c00978", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "The Diary of Anaïs Nin, 1931–1934", 1718117969976 ], [ "7141ede3-1d3c-49e9-8c8c-3ea691c00978", "8f7805e4-6006-4450-b790-600bb382c765", "9780547538709", 1718117969976 ], [ "7141ede3-1d3c-49e9-8c8c-3ea691c00978", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "7141ede3-1d3c-49e9-8c8c-3ea691c00978", 1718117969976 ], [ "7141ede3-1d3c-49e9-8c8c-3ea691c00978", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=LLDqDwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718117969976 ], [ "7141ede3-1d3c-49e9-8c8c-3ea691c00978", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "This celebrated volume begins when Nin is about to publish her first book and ends when she leaves Paris for New York.

This new edition of the best-selling industry standard shows you how to create systems that run longer, with fewer failures, and recover better when bad things happen. New coverage includes DevOps, microservices, and cloud-native architecture. Stability antipatterns have grown to include systemic problems in large-scale systems. This is a must-have pragmatic guide to engineering for production systems. If you're a software developer, and you don't want to get alerts every night for the rest of your life, help is here. With a combination of case studies about huge losses - lost revenue, lost reputation, lost time, lost opportunity - and practical, down-to-earth advice that was all gained through painful experience, this book helps you avoid the pitfalls that cost companies millions of dollars in downtime and reputation. Eighty percent of project life-cycle cost is in production, yet few books address this topic. This updated edition deals with the production of today's systems - larger, more complex, and heavily virtualized - and includes information on chaos engineering, the discipline of applying randomness and deliberate stress to reveal systematic problems. Build systems that survive the real world, avoid downtime, implement zero-downtime upgrades and continuous delivery, and make cloud-native applications resilient. Examine ways to architect, design, and build software - particularly distributed systems - that stands up to the typhoon winds of a flash mob, a Slashdotting, or a link on Reddit.

Their debate was one of the most provocative and original debates to have occurred between contemporary philosophers and serves as a concise introduction to their respective philosophical theories. While the debate began rooted in linguistics and theory of knowledge (the core interests of the two philosophers who are arguably the defining academic minds of the late twentieth-century) it became a much wider discussion, encompassing topics from history and behaviourism to creativity, freedom and the struggle for political justice.

Written with humor, sympathy, and tenderness, this intricately woven novel proves him to be the master of an altogether different art form. LOVE, DISHONOR, MARRY, DIE, CHERISH, PERISH leaps cities and decades as Rakoff sings the song of an America whose freedoms can be intoxicating, or brutal. The characters' lives are linked to each other by acts of generosity or cruelty. A daughter of Irish slaughterhouse workers in early-twentieth-century Chicago faces a desperate choice; a hobo offers an unexpected refuge on the rails during the Great Depression; a vivacious aunt provides her clever nephew a path out of the crushed dream of postwar Southern California; an office girl endures the casually vicious sexism of 1950s Manhattan; the young man from Southern California revels in the electrifying sexual and artistic openness of 1960s San Francisco, then later tends to dying friends and lovers as the AIDS pandemic devastates the community he cherishes; a love triangle reveals the empty materialism of the Reagan years; a marriage crumbles under the distinction between self-actualization and humanity; as the new century opens, a man who has lost his way finds a measure of peace in a photograph he discovers in an old box—an image of pure and simple joy that unites the themes of this brilliantly conceived work. Rakoff's insistence on beauty and the necessity of kindness in a selfish world raises the novel far above mere satire. A critic once called Rakoff \"magnificent,\" a word that perfectly describes this wonderful novel in verse.

Then one morning, she woke up in a state of absolute joy, filled with the realization of how her own suffering had ended. The freedom of that realization has never left her, and now in Loving What Is you can discover the same freedom through The Work. The Work is simply four questions that, when applied to a specific problem, enable you to see what is troubling you in an entirely different light. As Katie says, “It’s not the problem that causes our suffering; it’s our thinking about the problem.” Contrary to popular belief, trying to let go of a painful thought never works; instead, once we have done The Work, the thought lets go of us. At that point, we can truly love what is, just as it is. Loving What Is will show you step-by-step, through clear and vivid examples, exactly how to use this revolutionary process for yourself. You’ll see people do The Work with Katie on a broad range of human problems, from a wife ready to leave her husband because he wants more sex, to a Manhattan worker paralyzed by fear of terrorism, to a woman suffering over a death in her family. Many people have discovered The Work’s power to solve problems; in addition, they say that through The Work they experience a sense of lasting peace and find the clarity and energy to act, even in situations that had previously seemed impossible. If you continue to do The Work, you may discover, as many people have, that the questioning flows into every aspect of your life, effortlessly undoing the stressful thoughts that keep you from experiencing peace. Loving What Is offers everything you need to learn and live this remarkable process, and to find happiness as what Katie calls “a lover of reality.”", 1718117977976 ], [ "62b1cf02-b3f8-44cc-b93f-c4f48a57afca", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "Laughing Gas", 1718117978976 ], [ "62b1cf02-b3f8-44cc-b93f-c4f48a57afca", "8f7805e4-6006-4450-b790-600bb382c765", "9781409063681", 1718117978976 ], [ "62b1cf02-b3f8-44cc-b93f-c4f48a57afca", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "62b1cf02-b3f8-44cc-b93f-c4f48a57afca", 1718117978976 ], [ "62b1cf02-b3f8-44cc-b93f-c4f48a57afca", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=x1wpseORj4IC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api", 1718117978976 ], [ "62b1cf02-b3f8-44cc-b93f-c4f48a57afca", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "'A lifelong treat' Simon Garfield, Esquire A P.G.

Miyamoto Musashi was the child of an era when Japan was emerging from decades of civil strife. Lured to the great Battle of Sekigahara in 1600 by the hope of becoming a samurai--without really knowing what it meant--he regains consciousness after the battle to find himself lying defeated, dazed and wounded among thousands of the dead and dying. On his way home, he commits a rash act, becomes a fugitive and brings life in his own village to a standstill--until he is captured by a weaponless Zen monk. The lovely Otsu, seeing in Musashi her ideal of manliness, frees him from his tortuous punishment, but he is recaptured and imprisoned. During three years of solitary confinement, he delves into the classics of Japan and China. When he is set free again, he rejects the position of samurai and for the next several years pursues his goal relentlessly, looking neither to left nor to right. Ever so slowly it dawns on him that following the Way of the Sword is not simply a matter of finding a target for his brute strength. Continually striving to perfect his technique, which leads him to a unique style of fighting with two swords simultaneously, he travels far and wide, challenging fighters of many disciplines, taking nature to be his ultimate and severest teacher and undergoing the rigorous training of those who follow the Way. He is supremely successful in his encounters, but in the Art of War he perceives the way of peaceful and prosperous governance and disciplines himself to be a real human being. He becomes a reluctant hero to a host of people whose lives he has touched and been touched by. And, inevitably, he has to pit his skill against the naked blade of his greatest rival. Musashi is a novel in the best tradition of Japanese story telling. It is a living story, subtle and imaginative, teeming with memorable characters, many of them historical. Interweaving themes of unrequited love, misguided revenge, filial piety and absolute dedication to the Way of the Samurai, it depicts vividly a world Westerners know only vaguely.

The other books in the series are Fooled by Randomness, The Black Swan, Skin in the Game, and The Bed of Procrustes. Nassim Nicholas Taleb, the bestselling author of The Black Swan and one of the foremost thinkers of our time, reveals how to thrive in an uncertain world. Just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension, and rumors or riots intensify when someone tries to repress them, many things in life benefit from stress, disorder, volatility, and turmoil. What Taleb has identified and calls “antifragile” is that category of things that not only gain from chaos but need it in order to survive and flourish. In The Black Swan, Taleb showed us that highly improbable and unpredictable events underlie almost everything about our world. In Antifragile, Taleb stands uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary, and proposes that things be built in an antifragile manner. The antifragile is beyond the resilient or robust. The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better and better. Furthermore, the antifragile is immune to prediction errors and protected from adverse events. Why is the city-state better than the nation-state, why is debt bad for you, and why is what we call “efficient” not efficient at all? Why do government responses and social policies protect the strong and hurt the weak? Why should you write your resignation letter before even starting on the job? How did the sinking of the Titanic save lives? The book spans innovation by trial and error, life decisions, politics, urban planning, war, personal finance, economic systems, and medicine. And throughout, in addition to the street wisdom of Fat Tony of Brooklyn, the voices and recipes of ancient wisdom, from Roman, Greek, Semitic, and medieval sources, are loud and clear. Antifragile is a blueprint for living in a Black Swan world. Erudite, witty, and iconoclastic, Taleb’s message is revolutionary: The antifragile, and only the antifragile, will make it.

Interested in product management, marketing, strategy, or business development? The tech industry is the place to be: nontechnical employees at tech companies outnumber their engineering counterparts almost 3 to 1 (Forbes, 2017). You might be worried that your lack of coding skills or tech industry knowledge will hold you back. But here's the secret: you don't need to learn how to code to break into the tech industry. Written by three former Microsoft PMs, Swipe to Unlock gives you a breakdown of the concepts you need to know to crush your interviews, like software development, big data, and internet security. We'll explain how Google's ad targeting algorithm works, but Google probably won't ask you how to explain it in a non-technical interview. But they might ask you how you could increase ad revenue from a particular market segment. And if you know how Google's ad platform works, you'll be in a far stronger position to come up with good growth strategies. We'll show you how Robinhood, an app that lets you trade stocks without commission, makes money by earning interest on the unspent money that users keep in their accounts. No one will ask you to explain this. But if someone asks you to come up with a new monetization strategy for Venmo (which lets you send and receive money without fees), you could pull out the Robinhood anecdote to propose that Venmo earn interest off the money sitting in users' accounts. We'll talk about some business cases like why Microsoft acquired LinkedIn. Microsoft interviewers probably won't ask you about the motive of the purchase, but they might ask you for ideas to improve Microsoft Outlook. From our case study, you'll learn how the Microsoft and LinkedIn ecosystems could work together, which can help you craft creative, impactful answers. You could propose that Outlook use LinkedIn's social graph to give salespeople insights about clients before meeting them. Or you could suggest linking Outlook's organizational tree to LinkedIn to let HR managers analyze their company's hierarchy and figure out what kind of talent they need to add. (We'll further explore both ideas in the book.) Either way, you're sure to impress.

Now Renzo Gracie—instructor; competitor; and champion of numerous grappling, MMA, and NHB events—reveals the inner workings of the art in his latest book, Mastering Jujitsu. From the origins of the art to personal techniques, you will experience the impact the Gracies have had on jujitsu and learn the strategies they have developed to dominate their opponents. Gracie shares the subtleties of the techniques necessary for mastering the art, and he clearly demonstrates the flow of movement with more than 250 high-quality photos. Not only will Mastering Jujitsu help you progress from isolated skill development techniques to a full set of tactics and fight plans, but it will also introduce you to the concept of combat phases and teach you to attack from any phase. You will learn how to react to your opponent in any situation. Whether you’re caught in a bottom position or attacking from the top, Gracie reveals the key strategies designed to give you the upper hand. The depth and breadth of topics covered in Mastering Jujitsu will aid even the most experienced black belts in their understanding and execution of Brazilian jujitsu. With detailed coverage on advanced principles, you will get all the tactics, strategies, techniques, and drills you need for close combat fighting. Contents Chapter 1.

Tom Standage opens a window onto the past in this tour of six beverages that remain essentials today. En route he makes fascinating forays into the byways of western culture: Why were ancient Egyptians buried with beer? Why was wine considered a “classier” drink than beer by the Romans? How did rum grog help the British navy defeat Napoleon? What is the relationship between coffee and revolution? And how did Coca-Cola become the number one poster-product for globalization decades before the term was even coined?

It was in the middle schools that much of the fury of the Cultural Revolution and Red Guard movement was spent, and Gao was caught up in very dramatic events, which he recounts as he understood them at the time. Gao's father was a county political official who was in and out of trouble during those years, and the intense interplay between father and son and the differing perceptions and impact of the Cultural Revolution for the two generations provide both an unusual perspective and some extraordinary moving moments. He also makes deft use of traditional mythology and proverbial wisdom to link, sometimes ironically, past and present. Gao relates in vivid fashion how students-turned-Red Guards held mass rallies against 'capitalist roader' teachers and administrators, marching them through the streets to the accompaniment of chants and jeers and driving some of them to suicide. Eventually the students divided into two factions, and school and town became armed camps. Gao tells of the exhilaration that he and his comrades experienced at their initial victories, of their deepening disillusionment as they utter defeat as the tumultuous first phase of the Cultural Revolution came to a close. The portraits of the persons to whom Gao introduces us - classmates, teachers, family members - gain weight and density as the story unfolds, so that in the end we see how they all became victims of the dynamics of a mass movement out of control.", 1718118014976 ], [ "51a8c928-05b4-48c2-a5f0-81ae1ca3b808", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "The Poetic Edda", 1718118015976 ], [ "51a8c928-05b4-48c2-a5f0-81ae1ca3b808", "8f7805e4-6006-4450-b790-600bb382c765", "9781624663581", 1718118015976 ], [ "51a8c928-05b4-48c2-a5f0-81ae1ca3b808", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "51a8c928-05b4-48c2-a5f0-81ae1ca3b808", 1718118015976 ], [ "51a8c928-05b4-48c2-a5f0-81ae1ca3b808", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=Iv73BgAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718118015976 ], [ "51a8c928-05b4-48c2-a5f0-81ae1ca3b808", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "\"The poems of the Poetic Edda have waited a long time for a Modern English translation that would do them justice.

A vast pool of knowledge, therefore, has been gleaned from research into the nature of sex, from the contentious problem of why the wasteful reproductive process exists at all, to how individuals choose their mates and what traits they find attractive. This fascinating book explores those findings, and their implications for the sexual behaviour of our own species.

That achievement was evidently just a warm-up for his virtuoso performance in The Gene: An Intimate History, in which he braids science, history, and memoir into an epic with all the range and biblical thunder of Paradise Lost” (The New York Times).

Throughout, the story of Mukherjee’s own family—with its tragic and bewildering history of mental illness—reminds us of the questions that hang over our ability to translate the science of genetics from the laboratory to the real world. In riveting and dramatic prose, he describes the centuries of research and experimentation—from Aristotle and Pythagoras to Mendel and Darwin, from Boveri and Morgan to Crick, Watson and Franklin, all the way through the revolutionary twenty-first century innovators who mapped the human genome. “A fascinating and often sobering history of how humans came to understand the roles of genes in making us who we are—and what our manipulation of those genes might mean for our future” (Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel), The Gene is the revelatory and magisterial history of a scientific idea coming to life, the most crucial science of our time, intimately explained by a master. “The Gene is a book we all should read” (USA TODAY).", 1718118029976 ], [ "4ce87f86-8832-4277-b035-57c88747dc7c", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "Ready Player One", 1718118030976 ], [ "4ce87f86-8832-4277-b035-57c88747dc7c", "d8b6b232-d081-412b-8a5e-1a43c0b2f7fc", 374, 1718118030976 ], [ "4ce87f86-8832-4277-b035-57c88747dc7c", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "4ce87f86-8832-4277-b035-57c88747dc7c", 1718118030976 ], [ "4ce87f86-8832-4277-b035-57c88747dc7c", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=J8ahqXjUhAAC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718118030976 ], [ "4ce87f86-8832-4277-b035-57c88747dc7c", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "Immersing himself in a mid-21st-century technological virtual utopia to escape an ugly real world of famine, poverty and disease, Wade Watts joins an increasingly violent effort to solve a series of puzzles by the virtual world's super-wealthy creator, who has promised that the winner will be his heir.

Together they applied the science of information theory—the basis of computers and the Internet—to the problem of making as much money as possible, as fast as possible. Shannon and MIT mathematician Edward O. Thorp took the \"Kelly formula\" to Las Vegas. It worked. They realized that there was even more money to be made in the stock market. Thorp used the Kelly system with his phenomenally successful hedge fund, Princeton-Newport Partners. Shannon became a successful investor, too, topping even Warren Buffett's rate of return. Fortune's Formula traces how the Kelly formula sparked controversy even as it made fortunes at racetracks, casinos, and trading desks.

It covers his life as a slave, enduring the whips of the overseers and the hopelessness of his circumstances, until his escape to the north and arrival at New Bedford, Massachusetts. The brutalities he witnessed and his slowly growing desire for freedom are presented in the vivid language he was already known for in his antislavery oration. The eloquence of Douglass’s speeches caused some skeptics to doubt his credibility, believing that a former slave with no education could never speak so well. Thus, part of his motivation for writing the book was to dispel this suspicion and to provide a fuller history than was possible in his lectures. The abolitionists William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips provided introductions vouching for the truth of Douglass’s words. The book was an immediate best seller. The fame brought danger to Douglass, who sailed for England shortly after the book’s publication to ensure he would not be apprehended as a fugitive slave. He spent two years touring and lecturing in Great Britain and Ireland before returning to America to continue his abolitionist work. English supporters raised funds to purchase his freedom from his former master. The slave narrative is an autobiographical genre written by escaped slaves concerning their lives in bondage. Slave narratives not only promoted abolitionism by giving first hand evidence of the cruelty and hypocrisy of slaveholders, but also allowed African Americans to express themselves as intelligent, articulate individuals, deserving of respect and freedom. Douglass’s Narrative is perhaps the most important example of the genre, on the basis of its literary merits and its impact on the abolitionist movement.

Richard Davis tells the story of this venerable and enduring book, from its origins in ancient India to its reception today as a spiritual classic that has been translated into more than seventy-five languages. The Gita opens on the eve of a mighty battle, when the warrior Arjuna is overwhelmed by despair and refuses to fight. He turns to his charioteer, Krishna, who counsels him on why he must. In the dialogue that follows, Arjuna comes to realize that the true battle is for his own soul. Davis highlights the place of this legendary dialogue in classical Indian culture, and then examines how it has lived on in diverse settings and contexts. He looks at the medieval devotional traditions surrounding the divine character of Krishna and traces how the Gita traveled from India to the West, where it found admirers in such figures as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, J. Robert Oppenheimer, and Aldous Huxley. Davis explores how Indian nationalists like Mahatma Gandhi and Swami Vivekananda used the Gita in their fight against colonial rule, and how contemporary interpreters reanimate and perform this classical work for audiences today.

It describes a scalable, easy-to-understand approach to big data systems that can be built and run by a small team. Following a realistic example, this book guides readers through the theory of big data systems, how to implement them in practice, and how to deploy and operate them once they're built. Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications. About the Book Web-scale applications like social networks, real-time analytics, or e-commerce sites deal with a lot of data, whose volume and velocity exceed the limits of traditional database systems. These applications require architectures built around clusters of machines to store and process data of any size, or speed. Fortunately, scale and simplicity are not mutually exclusive. Big Data teaches you to build big data systems using an architecture designed specifically to capture and analyze web-scale data. This book presents the Lambda Architecture, a scalable, easy-to-understand approach that can be built and run by a small team. You'll explore the theory of big data systems and how to implement them in practice. In addition to discovering a general framework for processing big data, you'll learn specific technologies like Hadoop, Storm, and NoSQL databases. This book requires no previous exposure to large-scale data analysis or NoSQL tools. Familiarity with traditional databases is helpful. What's Inside Introduction to big data systems Real-time processing of web-scale data Tools like Hadoop, Cassandra, and Storm Extensions to traditional database skills About the Authors Nathan Marz is the creator of Apache Storm and the originator of the Lambda Architecture for big data systems.

In 1975, Ray Dalio founded an investment firm, Bridgewater Associates, out of his two-bedroom apartment in New York City. Forty years later, Bridgewater has made more money for its clients than any other hedge fund in history and grown into the fifth most important private company in the United States, according to Fortune magazine. Dalio himself has been named to Time magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people in the world. Along the way, Dalio discovered a set of unique principles that have led to Bridgewater’s exceptionally effective culture, which he describes as “an idea meritocracy that strives to achieve meaningful work and meaningful relationships through radical transparency.” It is these principles, and not anything special about Dalio—who grew up an ordinary kid in a middle-class Long Island neighborhood—that he believes are the reason behind his success. In Principles, Dalio shares what he’s learned over the course of his remarkable career. He argues that life, management, economics, and investing can all be systemized into rules and understood like machines. The book’s hundreds of practical lessons, which are built around his cornerstones of “radical truth” and “radical transparency,” include Dalio laying out the most effective ways for individuals and organizations to make decisions, approach challenges, and build strong teams. He also describes the innovative tools the firm uses to bring an idea meritocracy to life, such as creating “baseball cards” for all employees that distill their strengths and weaknesses, and employing computerized decision-making systems to make believability-weighted decisions. While the book brims with novel ideas for organizations and institutions, Principles also offers a clear, straightforward approach to decision-making that Dalio believes anyone can apply, no matter what they’re seeking to achieve.

As a small child, Andris Grof was told, “Jesus Christ was killed by the Jews, and because of that, all of the Jews will be thrown into the Danube.” Grof’s school years were marked by such anti-semitism and interrupted first by the Nazi occupation and then by the post-war Communist regime. He was a good student who excelled at chemistry which he was studying at the University of Budapest when the Hungarian uprising of 1956 persuaded him to “swim across” the border and emigrate to the West. Grove provides an interesting sketch of a boy’s coming of age in a deeply dangerous 20th century Budapest under the control of Nazis and then Communists and concludes the memoir with an account of his escape and eventual resumption of his studies at the City College of New York. “Haunting and inspirational. It should be required reading in schools.” — Tom Brokaw “A poignant memoir... a moving reminder of the meaning of America and the grit and courage of a remarkable young man who became one of America’s phenomenal success stories.” — Henry Kissinger “This honest and riveting account gives a fascinating insight into the man who wroteOnly the Paranoid Survive.” — George Soros “Andy Grove is a tremendous role model, and his book sheds light on his amazing journey. I would choose him as my doubles partner any day!” — Monica Seles “Combines a unique and often harrowing personal experience with the virtues of fiction at its most engrossing — vivid scenes, sharply delineated characters, and an utterly compelling narrative... a wonderful reading experience.” — Richard North Patterson “A poignant tale leading to human courage and hope.” — Elie Wiesel “Grove, the founder and chairman of Intel Corporation, does not whine about his hardships. Instead he recalls ordinary events and matter-of-factly juxtaposes these against the turmoil of midcentury Hungary, creating a subtle though compelling commentary on the power to endure.” — Diane Scharper, The New York Times “Swimming Across tells the childhood stories [Grove] has guarded since first entering the public eye four decades ago... [It] is driven not by executives battling for money and power, but the experiences — some mundane, some extraordinary — of a nonobservant Jewish boy growing up in Hungary through a fascist regime, a Nazi invasion and a Soviet occupation.” — Chris Gaither, The New York Times “ The intelligence, dedication and ingenuity that earned him fame and fortune (he wasTime’s Man of the Year in 1997) are evident early on... Grove’s story stands smartly amid inspirational literature by self-made Americans” — Publishers Weekly “A tight, simply told, extremely intimate memoir... a polished, solid portrait of a particular time and place.” — Kirkus “[A] moving and inspiring memoir...

Along the way - among his numerous accomplishments -- Ted became one of the richest men in the world, the largest land owner in the United States, revolutionized the television business with the creation of TBS and CNN, became a champion sailor and winner of the America's Cup, and took home a World Series championship trophy in 1995 as owner of the Atlanta Braves. An innovative entrepreneur, outspoken nonconformist, and groundbreaking philanthropist, Ted Turner is truly a living legend, and now, for the first time, he reveals his personal story. From his difficult childhood to the successful launch of his media empire to the catastrophic AOL/Time Warner deal, Turner spares no details or feelings and takes the reader along on a wild and sometimes bumpy ride. You'll also hear Ted's personal take on how we can save the world...share his experiences in the dugout on the day when he appointed himself as manager of the Atlanta Braves....learn how he almost lost his life in the 1979 Fastnet sailing race (but came out the winner)...and discover surprising details about his dealings with Fidel Castro, Mikhail Gorbachev, Jimmy Carter, Bill Gates, Jack Welch, Warren Buffett, and many more of the most influential people of the past half century. Ted also doesn't shrink from the darker and more intimate details of his life. With his usual frankness, he discusses a childhood of loneliness (he was left at a boarding school by his parents at the tender age of four), and the emotional impact of devastating losses (Ted's beloved sister died at seventeen and his hard-charging father committed suicide when Ted was still in his early twenties). Turner is also forthcoming about his marriages, including the one to Oscar-winning actress, Jane Fonda. Along the way, Ted's friends, colleagues, and family are equally revealing in their unique \"Ted Stories\" which are peppered throughout the book. Jane Fonda, especially, provides intriguing insights into Ted's inner drive and character. In CALL ME TED, you'll hear Ted Turner's distinctive voice on every page. Always forthright, he tells you what makes him tick and what ticks him off, and delivers an honest account of what he's all about. Inspiring and entertaining, CALL ME TED sheds new light on one of the greatest visionaries of our time.", 1718118049976 ], [ "3f2a7049-6e6e-44ac-91c8-478f6400f1f1", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "For Young Men Only", 1718118050976 ], [ "3f2a7049-6e6e-44ac-91c8-478f6400f1f1", "d8b6b232-d081-412b-8a5e-1a43c0b2f7fc", 192, 1718118050976 ], [ "3f2a7049-6e6e-44ac-91c8-478f6400f1f1", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "3f2a7049-6e6e-44ac-91c8-478f6400f1f1", 1718118050976 ], [ "3f2a7049-6e6e-44ac-91c8-478f6400f1f1", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=jp5dHxClzVkC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718118050976 ], [ "3f2a7049-6e6e-44ac-91c8-478f6400f1f1", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "Just for guys… the inside scoop on girls from the girls themselves.

Ashlee Vance captures the full spectacle and arc of the genius’s life and work, from his tumultuous upbringing in South Africa and flight to the United States to his dramatic technical innovations and entrepreneurial pursuits. Vance uses Musk’s story to explore one of the pressing questions of our age: can the nation of inventors and creators who led the modern world for a century still compete in an age of fierce global competition? He argues that Musk—one of the most unusual and striking figures in American business history—is a contemporary, visionary amalgam of legendary inventors and industrialists including Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Howard Hughes, and Steve Jobs. More than any other entrepreneur today, Musk has dedicated his energies and his own vast fortune to inventing a future that is as rich and far-reaching as the visionaries of the golden age of science-fiction fantasy.

When he died in the grandest house in New Orleans sixty-nine years later, he was among the richest, most powerful men in the world.

Starting with nothing but a cart of freckled bananas, he built a sprawling empire of banana cowboys, mercenary soldiers, Honduran peasants, CIA agents, and American statesmen.

This authoritative book scrapes away these bad features to reveal a subset of JavaScript that's more reliable, readable, and maintainable than the language as a whole—a subset you can use to create truly extensible and efficient code. Considered the JavaScript expert by many people in the development community, author Douglas Crockford identifies the abundance of good ideas that make JavaScript an outstanding object-oriented programming language-ideas such as functions, loose typing, dynamic objects, and an expressive object literal notation. Unfortunately, these good ideas are mixed in with bad and downright awful ideas, like a programming model based on global variables. When Java applets failed, JavaScript became the language of the Web by default, making its popularity almost completely independent of its qualities as a programming language. In JavaScript: The Good Parts, Crockford finally digs through the steaming pile of good intentions and blunders to give you a detailed look at all the genuinely elegant parts of JavaScript, including: Syntax Objects Functions Inheritance Arrays Regular expressions Methods Style Beautiful features The real beauty? As you move ahead with the subset of JavaScript that this book presents, you'll also sidestep the need to unlearn all the bad parts. Of course, if you want to find out more about the bad parts and how to use them badly, simply consult any other JavaScript book. With JavaScript: The Good Parts, you'll discover a beautiful, elegant, lightweight and highly expressive language that lets you create effective code, whether you're managing object libraries or just trying to get Ajax to run fast.

Shantaram is narrated by Lin, an escaped convict with a false passport who flees maximum security prison in Australia for the teeming streets of a city where he can disappear. Accompanied by his guide and faithful friend, Prabaker, the two enter Bombay's hidden society of beggars and gangsters, prostitutes and holy men, soldiers and actors, and Indians and exiles from other countries, who seek in this remarkable place what they cannot find elsewhere. As a hunted man without a home, family, or identity, Lin searches for love and meaning while running a clinic in one of the city's poorest slums, and serving his apprenticeship in the dark arts of the Bombay mafia. The search leads him to war, prison torture, murder, and a series of enigmatic and bloody betrayals. The keys to unlock the mysteries and intrigues that bind Lin are held by two people. The first is Khader Khan: mafia godfather, criminal-philosopher-saint, and mentor to Lin in the underworld of the Golden City. The second is Karla: elusive, dangerous, and beautiful, whose passions are driven by secrets that torment her and yet give her a terrible power. Burning slums and five-star hotels, romantic love and prison agonies, criminal wars and Bollywood films, spiritual gurus and mujaheddin guerrillas---this huge novel has the world of human experience in its reach, and a passionate love for India at its heart.

And how can we stop? In Mean Genes economist Terry Burnham and biologist Jay Phelan offer advice on how to conquer our own worst enemy—our survival-minded genes. Having evolved in a time of scarcity, when our ancestors struggled to survive in the wild, our genes are poorly adapted to the convenience of modern society. They compel us to overeat, spend our whole paycheck, and cheat on our spouses. But knowing how they work, Burnham and Phelan show that we can trick these \"mean genes\" into submission and cultivate behaviors that will help us lead better lives.

Paul Dukes, a thirty-year-old concert pianist, was a master of disguise—dubbed ‘The Man with a Hundred Faces’—and an English spy in Russia. As the First World War was drawing to a close, and as the revolutionaries sought to consolidate their newfound power, Dukes was cut off in Petrograd after infiltrating the Bolshevik Government and stealing top-secret information. With the government in London desperately in need of the documents in Dukes’s possession, and the Bolshevik secret police closing in, a seemingly suicidal plan was hatched to rescue him. Young naval lieutenant Gus Agar and his handpicked team of seven men boarded plywood boats—the fastest naval vessels in existence, most armed with only two machine guns and a single torpedo. They set out for the island fortress of Kronstadt, the most well-defended naval target in Russia—and into the jaws of the Soviet police.

By the age of twenty-one, he was living in Los Angeles and had been crowned Mr. Universe. Within five years, he had learned English and become the greatest bodybuilder in the world. Within ten years, he had earned his college degree and was a millionaire from his business enterprises in real estate, landscaping, and bodybuilding. He was also the winner of a Golden Globe Award for his debut as a dramatic actor in Stay Hungry. Within twenty years, he was the world’s biggest movie star, the husband of Maria Shriver, and an emerging Republican leader who was part of the Kennedy family. Thirty-six years after coming to America, the man once known by fellow bodybuilders as the Austrian Oak was elected governor of California, the seventh largest economy in the world. He led the state through a budget crisis, natural disasters, and political turmoil, working across party lines for a better environment, election reforms, and bipartisan solutions.

In 2010, Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger released a photo-sharing app called Instagram, with one simple but irresistible feature: it would make anything you captured through your phone look more beautiful. The cofounders started to cultivate a community of photographers and artisans around the app, but it quickly went mainstream. In less than two years, it caught Facebook’s attention: Mark Zuckerberg bought the company for a historic $1 billion when Instagram was just 13 employees. That might have been the end of a classic success story. But the cofounders stayed on, trying to maintain Instagram’s beauty, brand, and cachet, considering their app a separate company within the social networking giant. They urged their employees to make changes only when necessary, resisting Facebook’s grow-at-all-costs philosophy in favor of a strategy that highlighted creativity and celebrity. Just as Instagram was about to reach 1 billion users, Facebook’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg—once supportive of the founders’ autonomy—began to feel threatened by Instagram’s success. At its heart, No Filter is a human story, as Sarah Frier uncovers how the company’s decisions have fundamentally changed how we interact with the world around us. Frier draws on unprecedented exclusive access—from the founders of Instagram, as well as employees, executives, and competitors; Anna Wintour of Vogue; Kris Jenner of the Kardashian-Jenner empire; and a plethora of influencers, from fashionistas with millions of followers to owners of famous dogs worldwide—to show how Instagram has fundamentally changed the way we shop, eat, travel, and communicate, all while fighting to preserve the values which contributed to the company’s success. No Filter examines how Instagram’s dominance acts as lens into our society today, highlighting our fraught relationship with technology, our desire for perfection, and the battle within tech for its most valuable commodity: our attention.", 1718118083976 ], [ "20a462ac-2675-4d67-8ec0-eabcc73a290e", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "Catch and Kill", 1718118084976 ], [ "20a462ac-2675-4d67-8ec0-eabcc73a290e", "8f7805e4-6006-4450-b790-600bb382c765", "9780316486668", 1718118084976 ], [ "20a462ac-2675-4d67-8ec0-eabcc73a290e", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "20a462ac-2675-4d67-8ec0-eabcc73a290e", 1718118084976 ], [ "20a462ac-2675-4d67-8ec0-eabcc73a290e", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=6xWfDwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api", 1718118084976 ], [ "20a462ac-2675-4d67-8ec0-eabcc73a290e", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "One of the Best Books of the Year Time * NPR * Washington Post * Bloomberg News * Chicago Tribune * Chicago Public Library * Fortune * Los Angeles Times * E!

In 2017, a routine network television investigation led to a story only whispered about: one of Hollywood's most powerful producers was a predator, protected by fear, wealth, and a conspiracy of silence. As Farrow drew closer to the truth, shadowy operatives, from high-priced lawyers to elite war-hardened spies, mounted a secret campaign of intimidation, threatening his career, following his every move, and weaponizing an account of abuse in his own family.

But, Alex Bellos says, \"math can be inspiring and brilliantly creative. Mathematical thought is one of the great achievements of the human race, and arguably the foundation of all human progress. The world of mathematics is a remarkable place.\" Bellos has traveled all around the globe and has plunged into history to uncover fascinating stories of mathematical achievement, from the breakthroughs of Euclid, the greatest mathematician of all time, to the creations of the Zen master of origami, one of the hottest areas of mathematical work today. Taking us into the wilds of the Amazon, he tells the story of a tribe there who can count only to five and reports on the latest findings about the math instinct—including the revelation that ants can actually count how many steps they’ve taken. Journeying to the Bay of Bengal, he interviews a Hindu sage about the brilliant mathematical insights of the Buddha, while in Japan he visits the godfather of Sudoku and introduces the brainteasing delights of mathematical games. Exploring the mysteries of randomness, he explains why it is impossible for our iPods to truly randomly select songs. In probing the many intrigues of that most beloved of numbers, pi, he visits with two brothers so obsessed with the elusive number that they built a supercomputer in their Manhattan apartment to study it. Throughout, the journey is enhanced with a wealth of intriguing illustrations, such as of the clever puzzles known as tangrams and the crochet creation of an American math professor who suddenly realized one day that she could knit a representation of higher dimensional space that no one had been able to visualize. Whether writing about how algebra solved Swedish traffic problems, visiting the Mental Calculation World Cup to disclose the secrets of lightning calculation, or exploring the links between pineapples and beautiful teeth, Bellos is a wonderfully engaging guide who never fails to delight even as he edifies.

Hesse dedicated the first part of it to Romain Rolland and the second to Wilhelm Gundert, his cousin. The word Siddhartha is made up of two words in the Sanskrit language, siddha (achieved) + artha (what was searched for), which together means \"he who has found meaning (of existence)\" or \"he who has attained his goals\".

author draws parallels to the recent financial crisis—Roger Lowenstein captures the gripping roller-coaster ride of Long-Term Capital Management. Drawing on confidential internal memos and interviews with dozens of key players, Lowenstein explains not just how the fund made and lost its money but also how the personalities of Long-Term’s partners, the arrogance of their mathematical certainties, and the culture of Wall Street itself contributed to both their rise and their fall. When it was founded in 1993, Long-Term was hailed as the most impressive hedge fund in history. But after four years in which the firm dazzled Wall Street as a $100 billion moneymaking juggernaut, it suddenly suffered catastrophic losses that jeopardized not only the biggest banks on Wall Street but the stability of the financial system itself. The dramatic story of Long-Term’s fall is now a chilling harbinger of the crisis that would strike all of Wall Street, from Lehman Brothers to AIG, a decade later. In his new Afterword, Lowenstein shows that LTCM’s implosion should be seen not as a one-off drama but as a template for market meltdowns in an age of instability—and as a wake-up call that Wall Street and government alike tragically ignored.", 1718118097976 ], [ "1b304b5d-6ac5-4465-881a-28044c1b3356", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "Summer Moonshine", 1718118098976 ], [ "1b304b5d-6ac5-4465-881a-28044c1b3356", "8f7805e4-6006-4450-b790-600bb382c765", "9781585673902", 1718118098976 ], [ "1b304b5d-6ac5-4465-881a-28044c1b3356", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "1b304b5d-6ac5-4465-881a-28044c1b3356", 1718118098976 ], [ "1b304b5d-6ac5-4465-881a-28044c1b3356", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=PgOrAAAAIAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api", 1718118098976 ], [ "1b304b5d-6ac5-4465-881a-28044c1b3356", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "Summer Moonshine involves Sir Buckstone Abbott trying to sell what is probably the ugliest home in England, as well as a complicated love quadrangle.", 1718118098976 ], [ "1a75b103-82e4-42c9-8095-ed674d1c58bb", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "Brave New World", 1718118099976 ], [ "1a75b103-82e4-42c9-8095-ed674d1c58bb", "8f7805e4-6006-4450-b790-600bb382c765", "9780099477464", 1718118099976 ], [ "1a75b103-82e4-42c9-8095-ed674d1c58bb", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "1a75b103-82e4-42c9-8095-ed674d1c58bb", 1718118099976 ], [ "1a75b103-82e4-42c9-8095-ed674d1c58bb", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=EQlhCgAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api", 1718118099976 ], [ "1a75b103-82e4-42c9-8095-ed674d1c58bb", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "WITH INTRODUCTIONS BY MARGARET ATWOOD AND DAVID BRADSHAW Far in the future, the World Controllers have created the ideal society.

He is exceedingly libidinous. His appetite for the outrageous is insatiable. He is Mickey Sabbath, the aging, raging powerhouse whose savage effrontery and mocking audacity are at the heart of Philip Roth's astonishing new novel. Sabbath's Theater tells Mickey's story in the wake of the death of his mistress, an erotic free spirit whose adulterous daring exceeds even his own. Once a scandalously inventive puppeteer, Mickey is now in his mid-sixties and besieged by ghosts - of his mother, his beloved brother, his vanished first wife, his mistress of thirteen years. Bereft and grieving, he embarks on a turbulent journey back into his past, one that brings him to the brink of madness and extinction. But no matter how ardently he courts death, he is too exuberantly alive to succeed at dying. Sabbath's Theater is a comic creation of epic proportions, and Mickey Sabbath is its gargantuan hero.

Unfortunately, a dysfunctional anti-American, leftist government controls this vast resource and has used its wealth to foster voter support, ultimately wreaking economic havoc. Crude Nation reveals the ways in which this mismanagement has led to Venezuela’s economic ruin and turned the country into a cautionary tale for the world. Raúl Gallegos, a former Caracas-based oil correspondent, paints a picture both vivid and analytical of the country’s economic decline, the government’s foolhardy economic policies, and the wrecked lives of Venezuelans. Without transparency, the Venezuelan government uses oil money to subsidize life for its citizens in myriad unsustainable ways, while regulating nearly every aspect of day-to-day existence in Venezuela. This has created a paradox in which citizens can fill up the tanks of their SUVs for less than one American dollar while simultaneously enduring nationwide shortages of staples such as milk, sugar, and toilet paper. Gallegos’s insightful analysis shows how mismanagement has ruined Venezuela again and again over the past century and lays out how Venezuelans can begin to fix their country, a nation that can play an important role in the global energy industry.

It begins with a young man, Candide, who is living a sheltered life in an Edenic paradise and being indoctrinated with Leibnizian optimism (or simply Optimism) by his mentor, Pangloss. The work describes the abrupt cessation of this lifestyle, followed by Candide's slow, painful disillusionment as he witnesses and experiences great hardships in the world. Voltaire concludes with Candide, if not rejecting optimism outright, advocating a deeply practical precept, \"we must cultivate our garden\", in lieu of the Leibnizian mantra of Pangloss, \"all is for the best in the best of all possible worlds\". Candide is characterized by its sarcastic tone, as well as by its erratic, fantastical and fast-moving plot. A picaresque novel it parodies many adventure and romance clichés, the struggles of which are caricatured in a tone that is mordantly matter-of-fact. Still, the events discussed are often based on historical happenings, such as the Seven Years' War and the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. As philosophers of Voltaire's day contended with the problem of evil, so too does Candide in this short novel, albeit more directly and humorously. Voltaire ridicules religion, theologians, governments, armies, philosophies, and philosophers through allegory; most conspicuously, he assaults Leibniz and his optimism. As expected by Voltaire, Candide has enjoyed both great success and great scandal. Immediately after its secretive publication, the book was widely banned because it contained religious blasphemy, political sedition and intellectual hostility hidden under a thin veil of naïveté. However, with its sharp wit and insightful portrayal of the human condition, the novel has since inspired many later authors and artists to mimic and adapt it. Today, Candide is recognized as Voltaire's magnum opus and is often listed as part of the Western canon; it is arguably taught more than any other work of French literature. It was listed as one of The 100 Most Influential Books Ever Written.", 1718118105976 ], [ "17522207-0106-4a2b-b78d-6d46e796a355", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "The New New Thing: A Silicon Valley Story", 1718118106976 ], [ "17522207-0106-4a2b-b78d-6d46e796a355", "d8b6b232-d081-412b-8a5e-1a43c0b2f7fc", 272, 1718118106976 ], [ "17522207-0106-4a2b-b78d-6d46e796a355", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "17522207-0106-4a2b-b78d-6d46e796a355", 1718118106976 ], [ "17522207-0106-4a2b-b78d-6d46e796a355", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=g-_2I8yJ7p4C&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718118106976 ], [ "17522207-0106-4a2b-b78d-6d46e796a355", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "New York Times Bestseller. “A superb book. . . .

Mechner's candid and revealing journals from the time capture the journey from his parents’ basement to the forefront of the fast-growing 1980s video game industry... and the creative, technical, and personal struggles that brought the prince into being and ultimately into the homes of millions of people worldwide. Now, on the 30th anniversary of Prince of Persia’s release, Mechner looks back at the journals he kept from 1985 to 1993, offering new insights into the game that established him as a pioneer of cinematic storytelling in the industry. This beautifully illustrated and annotated collector’s edition includes: 300 pages of Jordan’s original journals, Present-day margin notations by Jordan adding explanation, context, and affectionate cartoons of real-life characters, Archival visuals illustrating the stages of the game’s creation, Work-in-progress sketches, rotoscoped animation, screen shots, interface design, memos, and more, A full-color 32-page \"Legacy\" section in which Jordan and fans share Prince of Persia memories from the past 30 years, including the Ubisoft games and Disney movie.

How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia meets that reputation—and exceeds it. The astonishing and riveting tale of a man’s journey from impoverished rural boy to corporate tycoon, it steals its shape from the business self-help books devoured by ambitious youths all over “rising Asia.” It follows its nameless hero to the sprawling metropolis where he begins to amass an empire built on that most fluid, and increasingly scarce, of goods: water. Yet his heart remains set on something else, on the pretty girl whose star rises along with his, their paths crossing and recrossing, a lifelong affair sparked and snuffed and sparked again by the forces that careen their fates along. How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia is a striking slice of contemporary life at a time of crushing upheaval. Romantic without being sentimental, political without being didactic, and spiritual without being religious, it brings an unflinching gaze to the violence and hope it depicts. And it creates two unforgettable characters who find moments of transcendent intimacy in the midst of shattering change.", 1718118109976 ], [ "150b113b-9170-42c8-a829-9824b5d85f74", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "Let Over Lambda", 1718118110976 ], [ "150b113b-9170-42c8-a829-9824b5d85f74", "8f7805e4-6006-4450-b790-600bb382c765", "9781435712751", 1718118110976 ], [ "150b113b-9170-42c8-a829-9824b5d85f74", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "150b113b-9170-42c8-a829-9824b5d85f74", 1718118110976 ], [ "150b113b-9170-42c8-a829-9824b5d85f74", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=vbTONwAACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api", 1718118110976 ], [ "150b113b-9170-42c8-a829-9824b5d85f74", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "Let Over Lambda is one of the most hardcore computer programming books out there.

Ten years after its first publication, Michael Reid’s bestselling survey of the state of contemporary Latin America has been wholly updated to reflect the new realities of the “Forgotten Continent.” The former Americas editor for the Economist, Reid suggests that much of Central and South America, though less poor, less unequal, and better educated than before, faces harder economic times now that the commodities boom of the 2000s is over. His revised, in-depth account of the region reveals dynamic societies more concerned about corruption and climate change, the uncertainties of a Donald Trump-led United States, and a political cycle that, in many cases, is turning from left-wing populism to center-right governments. This essential new edition provides important insights into the sweeping changes that have occurred in Latin America in recent years and indicates priorities for the future. “[A] comprehensive and erudite assessment of the region . . .

It was first published in the United Kingdom on 9 October 1925 by Herbert Jenkins, London, and in the United States on 7 October 1927 by George H. Doran, New York. Many of the stories had previously appeared in the Saturday Evening Post, and some were rewritten versions of stories in the collection My Man Jeeves (1919). The book is considered part of the Jeeves canon. The first story in the book, \"Jeeves Takes Charge\", describes Jeeves' arrival in his master's life, as a replacement for Wooster's previous, thieving valet, and features Lady Florence Craye, as well as a passing mention of Lord Emsworth and Blandings Castle. Several of the other stories are set in New York, and the book includes appearances by regular characters Bingo Little, Aunt Dahlia, Anatole, and Sir Roderick Glossop.

Are you sick of being told that you are “too sensitive”? Do you struggle to respect a less-sensitive partner? Or have you given up on love, afraid of being too sensitive or shy to endure its wounds? Statistics show that 50 percent of what determines divorce is genetic temperament. And, if you are one of the 20 percent of people who are born highly sensitive, the risk of an unhappy relationship is especially high. Your finely tuned nervous system, which picks up on subtleties and reflects deeply, would be a romantic asset if both you and your partner understood you better. But without that understanding, your sensitivity is likely to be making your close relationships painful and complicated. Based on Elaine N. Aron’s groundbreaking research on temperament and intimacy, The Highly Sensitive Person in Love offers practical help for highly sensitive people seeking happier, healthier romantic relationships. From low-stress fighting to sensitive sexuality, the book offers a wealth of practical advice on making the most of all personality combinations.

The book helps you to continue to grow and clearly comes from people who have been there.” —Kent Beck, author of Extreme Programming Explained: Embrace Change “I found this book to be a great mix of solid advice and wonderful analogies!” —Martin Fowler, author of Refactoring and UML Distilled “I would buy a copy, read it twice, then tell all my colleagues to run out and grab a copy. This is a book I would never loan because I would worry about it being lost.” —Kevin Ruland, Management Science, MSG-Logistics “The wisdom and practical experience of the authors is obvious. The topics presented are relevant and useful.... By far its greatest strength for me has been the outstanding analogies—tracer bullets, broken windows, and the fabulous helicopter-based explanation of the need for orthogonality, especially in a crisis situation. I have little doubt that this book will eventually become an excellent source of useful information for journeymen programmers and expert mentors alike.” —John Lakos, author of Large-Scale C++ Software Design “This is the sort of book I will buy a dozen copies of when it comes out so I can give it to my clients.” —Eric Vought, Software Engineer “Most modern books on software development fail to cover the basics of what makes a great software developer, instead spending their time on syntax or technology where in reality the greatest leverage possible for any software team is in having talented developers who really know their craft well. An excellent book.” —Pete McBreen, Independent Consultant “Since reading this book, I have implemented many of the practical suggestions and tips it contains. Across the board, they have saved my company time and money while helping me get my job done quicker!

It covers topics ranging from personal responsibility and career development to architectural techniques for keeping your code flexible and easy to adapt and reuse. Read this book, and you'll learn how to Fight software rot; Avoid the trap of duplicating knowledge; Write flexible, dynamic, and adaptable code; Avoid programming by coincidence; Bullet-proof your code with contracts, assertions, and exceptions; Capture real requirements; Test ruthlessly and effectively; Delight your users; Build teams of pragmatic programmers; and Make your developments more precise with automation. Written as a series of self-contained sections and filled with entertaining anecdotes, thoughtful examples, and interesting analogies, The Pragmatic Programmer illustrates the best practices and major pitfalls of many different aspects of software development. Whether you're a new coder, an experienced programmer, or a manager responsible for software projects, use these lessons daily, and you'll quickly see improvements in personal productivity, accuracy, and job satisfaction.

The novel tells the story of the rise and fall of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendía family. It is a rich and brilliant chronicle of life and death, and the tragicomedy of humankind. In the noble, ridiculous, beautiful, and tawdry story of the Buendía family, one sees all of humanity, just as in the history, myths, growth, and decay of Macondo, one sees all of Latin America. Love and lust, war and revolution, riches and poverty, youth and senility -- the variety of life, the endlessness of death, the search for peace and truth -- these universal themes dominate the novel. Whether he is describing an affair of passion or the voracity of capitalism and the corruption of government, Gabriel García Márquez always writes with the simplicity, ease, and purity that are the mark of a master. Alternately reverential and comical, One Hundred Years of Solitude weaves the political, personal, and spiritual to bring a new consciousness to storytelling. Translated into dozens of languages, this stunning work is no less than an accounting of the history of the human race.", 1718118121976 ], [ "030866af-f1d1-4f89-9420-9ff41d07cec5", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs by Harold Abelson and Gerald Jay Sussman is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 License.", 1718118122976 ], [ "030866af-f1d1-4f89-9420-9ff41d07cec5", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs - 2nd Edition", 1718118122976 ], [ "030866af-f1d1-4f89-9420-9ff41d07cec5", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "030866af-f1d1-4f89-9420-9ff41d07cec5", 1718118122976 ], [ "030866af-f1d1-4f89-9420-9ff41d07cec5", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=MXZQAwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718118122976 ], [ "02b756b8-a5ae-42c3-89b9-42a031da3317", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "Sapiens", 1718118123976 ], [ "02b756b8-a5ae-42c3-89b9-42a031da3317", "d8b6b232-d081-412b-8a5e-1a43c0b2f7fc", 464, 1718118123976 ], [ "02b756b8-a5ae-42c3-89b9-42a031da3317", "8f7805e4-6006-4450-b790-600bb382c765", "9780062316103", 1718118123976 ], [ "02b756b8-a5ae-42c3-89b9-42a031da3317", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "02b756b8-a5ae-42c3-89b9-42a031da3317", 1718118123976 ], [ "02b756b8-a5ae-42c3-89b9-42a031da3317", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=FmyBAwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718118123976 ], [ "02b756b8-a5ae-42c3-89b9-42a031da3317", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "New York Times Bestseller A Summer Reading Pick for President Barack Obama, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg From a renowned historian comes a groundbreaking narrative of humanity’s creation and evolution—a #1 international bestseller—that explores the ways in which biology and history have defined us and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be “human.” One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one—homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And what may happen to us? Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book that begins about 70,000 years ago with the appearance of modern cognition. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history and science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific events within the context of larger ideas. Dr. Harari also compels us to look ahead, because over the last few decades humans have begun to bend laws of natural selection that have governed life for the past four billion years. We are acquiring the ability to design not only the world around us, but also ourselves. Where is this leading us, and what do we want to become?

Most books I've read follow a certain archetype, these two really break the mold and expanded my views on how to write prose.\n\n\"East of Eden\" is Steinbeck's magnum opus. The book is a masterclass in storytelling and weaving parallel narratives. If you enjoy seeing multiple storylines and themes come together, this is for you.\n\n\"The Story of Philosophy\" is my favorite philosophy book to date. Probably one of the best resources for an introduction and overview of Western philosophy. I love how the author includes historical context and criticism with each philosopher's ideas. This enables you to critically evaluate and see the evolution of western thinking.\n\n\"How to Win Friends and Influence People\" and \"The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People\" are often labeled \"self-help\" books but in my opinion they are more than that. Not only do they speak to becoming self-confident and independent -- they elucidate the importance and path to interdependence. Without a doubt, they have had the strongest impact on me in the last 20 years.

Concurrency and parallelism are the keys, and Seven Concurrency Models in Seven Weeks equips you for this new world. See how emerging technologies such as actors and functional programming address issues with traditional threads and locks development. Learn how to exploit the parallelism in your computer's GPU and leverage clusters of machines with MapReduce and Stream Processing. And do it all with the confidence that comes from using tools that help you write crystal clear, high-quality code. This book will show you how to exploit different parallel architectures to improve your code's performance, scalability, and resilience. You'll learn about seven concurrency models: threads and locks, functional programming, separating identity and state, actors, sequential processes, data parallelism, and the lambda architecture. Learn about the perils of traditional threads and locks programming and how to overcome them through careful design and by working with the standard library. See how actors enable software running on geographically distributed computers to collaborate, handle failure, and create systems that stay up 24/7/365. Understand why shared mutable state is the enemy of robust concurrent code, and see how functional programming together with technologies such as Software Transactional Memory (STM) and automatic parallelism help you tame it. You'll learn about the untapped potential within every GPU and how GPGPU software can unleash it. You'll see how to use MapReduce to harness massive clusters to solve previously intractable problems, and how, in concert with Stream Processing, big data can be tamed. With an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of each of the different models and hardware architectures, you'll be empowered to tackle any problem with confidence. What You Need: The example code can be compiled and executed on *nix, OS X, or Windows.

An applied animal behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell looks at humans as just another interesting species, and muses about why we behave the way we do around our dogs, how dogs might interpret our behavior, and how to interact with our dogs in ways that bring out the best in our four-legged friends. After all, although humans and dogs share a remarkable relationship that is unique in the animal world, we are still two entirely different species, each shaped by our individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (like wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. The Other End of the Leash demonstrates how even the slightest changes in your voice and the way you stand can help your dog understand what you want. Once you start to think about your own behavior from the perspective of your dog, you’ll understand why much of what appears to be doggy-disobedience is simply a case of miscommunication. Inside you will learn • How to use your voice so that your dog is more likely to do what you ask. • Why “getting dominance” over your dog is a bad idea. • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble–and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of trouble. • How dogs and humans share personality types–and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alphawannabees!” In her own insightful, compelling style, Patricia McConnell combines wonderful true stories about people and dogs with a new, accessible scientific perspective on how they should behave around each other. This is a book that strives to help you make the most of life with your dog, and to prevent problems that might arise in that most rewarding of relationships.

Former Goldman Sachs Vice President Lisa Endlich draws on an insider's knowledge and access to all levels of management to bring to life this unique company that has long mystified financial players and pundits. The firm's spectacular ascent is traced in the context of its tenacious grip on its core values. Endlich shows how close client contact, teamwork, focus on long-term profitability rather than short-term opportunism, and the ability to recruit consistently some of the most talented people on Wall Street helped the firm generate a phenomenal $3 billion in pretax profits in 1997. And she describes in detail the monumental events of 1998 that shook Goldman Sachs and the financial world. Her book documents some of the most stunning accomplishments in modern American finance, as told through the careers of the gifted and insightful men who have led Goldman Sachs. It begins with Marcus Goldman, a German immigrant who in 1869 founded the firm in a lower Manhattan basement. After the turn of the century, we see his son Henry and his son-in-law Sam Sachs develop a full-service bank. Sidney Weinberg, a kid from the streets, was initially hired as an assistant porter and became senior partner in 1930. We watch him as he steers the firm through the aftermath of the Crash and raises the Goldman Sachs name to national prominence. When he leaves in 1969 the firm has a solid-gold reputation and a first-class list of clients. We see his successor, Gus Levy, a trading wizard and in his day the best-known man on Wall Street, urging greater risk, inventing block trading (which revolutionized the exchanges), and psychologically preparing Goldman Sachs for the complex and perilous financial world that was the 1980s. Endlich shows us how co-CEOs John Whitehead and John Weinberg turned the family firm into a highly professional international organization with a culture that was the envy of Wall Street. She shows as well how Steve Friedman and Robert Rubin brought the firm to the pinnacle of investment banking, increased annual profits from $900 million to $2.7 billion, and achieved dominance in most of the businesses in which the firm competes internationally. We see how Goldman Sachs weathered both an insider trading scandal and the fallout from its relationship with Robert Maxwell. We are taken to the present day, as Jon Corzine and Hank Paulson lead the firm out of turmoil to face the most important decision ever placed before the partnership--the question of a public sale. For many years the leadership wrestled with the issue behind closed doors. Now, against the backdrop of unforeseen events, we witness the passionate debate that engulfed the entire partnership. A rare and revealing look inside a great institution--the last private partnership on Wall Street--and inside the financial world at its highest levels.", 1718118136976 ], [ "0c0fc698-5102-4ee9-8a52-42e69e7b4506", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "The Stranger", 1718118137976 ], [ "0c0fc698-5102-4ee9-8a52-42e69e7b4506", "8f7805e4-6006-4450-b790-600bb382c765", "9780307827661", 1718118137976 ], [ "0c0fc698-5102-4ee9-8a52-42e69e7b4506", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "0c0fc698-5102-4ee9-8a52-42e69e7b4506", 1718118137976 ], [ "0c0fc698-5102-4ee9-8a52-42e69e7b4506", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=7qylv1KYf0kC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718118137976 ], [ "0c0fc698-5102-4ee9-8a52-42e69e7b4506", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "Through the story of an ordinary man unwittingly drawn into a senseless murder on an Algerian beach, Camus explored what he termed \"the nakedness of man faced with the absurd.\" First published in 1946; now in a new translation by Matthew Ward.", 1718118137976 ], [ "0c0355e7-bf16-4f30-9fea-fef415142939", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "The Annotated Turing", 1718118138976 ], [ "0c0355e7-bf16-4f30-9fea-fef415142939", "8f7805e4-6006-4450-b790-600bb382c765", "9780470229057", 1718118138976 ], [ "0c0355e7-bf16-4f30-9fea-fef415142939", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "0c0355e7-bf16-4f30-9fea-fef415142939", 1718118138976 ], [ "0c0355e7-bf16-4f30-9fea-fef415142939", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=LFQ7DwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718118138976 ], [ "0c0355e7-bf16-4f30-9fea-fef415142939", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "Provides an expansion of Turing's original paper, a brief look at his life, and information on the Turing machine and computability topics.", 1718118138976 ], [ "0bc42e78-5f27-44b2-892a-69fbab9e44a0", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "At the Existentialist Café", 1718118139976 ], [ "0bc42e78-5f27-44b2-892a-69fbab9e44a0", "8f7805e4-6006-4450-b790-600bb382c765", "9781590514894", 1718118139976 ], [ "0bc42e78-5f27-44b2-892a-69fbab9e44a0", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "0bc42e78-5f27-44b2-892a-69fbab9e44a0", 1718118139976 ], [ "0bc42e78-5f27-44b2-892a-69fbab9e44a0", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=nKnSCQAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718118139976 ], [ "0bc42e78-5f27-44b2-892a-69fbab9e44a0", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "Named one of the Ten Best Books of 2016 by the New York Times, a spirited account of a major intellectual movement of the twentieth century and the revolutionary thinkers who came to shape it, by the best-selling author of How to Live Sarah Bakewell. Paris, 1933: three contemporaries meet over apricot cocktails at the Bec-de-Gaz bar on the rue Montparnasse. They are the young Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, and longtime friend Raymond Aron, a fellow philosopher who raves to them about a new conceptual framework from Berlin called Phenomenology. \"You see,\" he says, \"if you are a phenomenologist you can talk about this cocktail and make philosophy out of it!\" It was this simple phrase that would ignite a movement, inspiring Sartre to integrate Phenomenology into his own French, humanistic sensibility, thereby creating an entirely new philosophical approach inspired by themes of radical freedom, authentic being, and political activism. This movement would sweep through the jazz clubs and cafés of the Left Bank before making its way across the world as Existentialism. Featuring not only philosophers, but also playwrights, anthropologists, convicts, and revolutionaries, At the Existentialist Café follows the existentialists' story, from the first rebellious spark through the Second World War, to its role in postwar liberation movements such as anti-colonialism, feminism, and gay rights. Interweaving biography and philosophy, it is the epic account of passionate encounters--fights, love affairs, mentorships, rebellions, and long partnerships--and a vital investigation into what the existentialists have to offer us today, at a moment when we are once again confronting the major questions of freedom, global responsibility, and human authenticity in a fractious and technology-driven world.", 1718118139976 ], [ "07635906-ba8e-4db9-896f-213ec5c500c5", "ed11294d-cd7d-4f3d-8918-4806c80b8a43", "The Lions of Al-Rassan", 1718118140976 ], [ "07635906-ba8e-4db9-896f-213ec5c500c5", "d8b6b232-d081-412b-8a5e-1a43c0b2f7fc", 528, 1718118140976 ], [ "07635906-ba8e-4db9-896f-213ec5c500c5", "6eebf15a-ed3c-4442-8869-a44a7c85a1be", "07635906-ba8e-4db9-896f-213ec5c500c5", 1718118140976 ], [ "07635906-ba8e-4db9-896f-213ec5c500c5", "4edfae63-c83c-418b-9026-dacd13cdd6ac", "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=kWOkYr00GqIC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api", 1718118140976 ], [ "07635906-ba8e-4db9-896f-213ec5c500c5", "275e5c3c-d565-4f5a-b832-4290cc6de915", "The ruling Asharites of Al-Rassan have come from the desert sands, but over centuries, seduced by the sensuous pleasures of their new land, their stern piety has eroded. The Asharite empire has splintered into decadent city-states led by warring petty kings. King Almalik of Cartada is on the ascendancy, aided always by his friend and advisor, the notorious Ammar ibn Khairan -- poet, diplomat, soldier -- until a summer afternoon of savage brutality changes their relationship forever. Meanwhile, in the north, the conquered Jaddites' most celebrated -- and feared -- military leader, Rodrigo Belmonte, driven into exile, leads his mercenary company south. In the dangerous lands of Al-Rassan, these two men from different worlds meet and serve -- for a time -- the same master. Sharing their interwoven fate -- and increasingly torn by her feelings -- is Jehane, the accomplished court physician, whose own skills play an increasing role as Al-Rassan is swept to the brink of holy war, and beyond.

Warrior monks in their armed citadels block the road to the capital; castles are destroyed, villages plundered, fields put to the torch. Amid this devastation, three men dream of uniting the nation. At one extreme is the charismatic but brutal Nobunaga, whose ruthless ambition crushes all before him. At the opposite pole is the cold, deliberate Ieyasu, wise in counsel, brave in battle, mature beyond his years. But the keystone of this triumvirate is the most memorable of all, Hideyoshi, who rises from the menial post of sandal bearer to become Taiko--absolute ruler of Japan in the Emperor's name. When Nobunaga emerges from obscurity by destroying an army ten times the size of his own, he allies himself with Ieyasu, whose province is weak, but whose canniness and loyalty make him invaluable. Yet it is the scrawny, monkey-faced Hideyoshi--brash, impulsive, and utterly fearless--who becomes the unlikely savior of this ravaged land. Born the son of a farmer, he takes on the world with nothing but his bare hands and his wits, turning doubters into loyal servants, rivals into faithful friends, and enemies into allies. In all this he uses a piercing insight into human nature that unlocks castle gates, opens men's minds, and captures women's hearts. For Hideyoshi's passions are not limited to war and intrigue-his faithful wife, Nene, holds his love dear, even when she must share it; the chaste Oyu, sister of Hideyoshi's chief strategist, falls prey to his desires; and the seductive Chacha, whom he rescues from the fiery destruction of her father's castle, tempts his weakness. As recounted by Eiji Yoshikawa, author of the international best-seller Musashi, Taiko tells many stories: of the fury of Nobunaga and the fatal arrogance of the black-toothed Yoshimoto; of the pathetic downfall of the House of Takeda; how the scorned Mitsuhide betrayed his master; how once impregnable ramparts fell as their defenders died gloriously. Most of all, though, Taiko is the story of how one man transformed a nation through the force of his will and the depth of his humanity. Filled with scenes of pageantry and violence, acts of treachery and self-sacrifice, tenderness and savagery, Taiko combines the panoramic spectacle of a Kurosawa epic with a vivid evocation of feudal Japan.", 1718118146976 ], [ "05f8af58-388e-4296-9a0b-7dfbc3a67ca2", "f6e940f7-75fd-4aaf-9790-e183174c2abd", "This was a huge year for self development.

(The Times) You are accused of a crime. Who would you rather determined your fate - a human or an algorithm? An algorithm is more consistent and less prone to error of judgement. Yet a human can look you in the eye before passing sentence. Welcome to the age of the algorithm, the story of a not-too-distant future where machines rule supreme, making important decisions - in healthcare, transport, finance, security, what we watch, where we go even who we send to prison. So how much should we rely on them? What kind of future do we want? Hannah Fry takes us on a tour of the good, the bad and the downright ugly of the algorithms that surround us. In Hello World she lifts the lid on their inner workings, demonstrates their power, exposes their limitations, and examines whether they really are an improvement on the humans they are replacing.

Set in early modern Italy, Love-At-Arms skillfully combines all of the elements that have won Rafael Sabatini's work a worldwide following: non-stop action, surprising plot twists, and plenty of swoon-worthy romance. Settle in with Sabatini's Love-At-Arms for an exceptionally gratifying read.Rafael Sabatini was an Italian/British writer of novels of romance and adventure. He wrote short stories in the 1890s, and his first novel came out in 1902. It took Sabatini roughly a quarter of a century of hard work before he attained success with Scaramouche in 1921. This brilliant novel of the French Revolution became an international best-seller. It was followed by the equally successful Captain Blood in 1922. All of his earlier books were rushed into reprints, the most popular of which was The Sea Hawk from 1915. Sabatini was a prolific writer; he produced a new book approximately every year. While he perhaps didn't achieve the mammoth success of Scaramouche and Captain Blood, nonetheless Sabatini still maintained a great deal of popularity with the reading public through the decades that followed.

Hannett, Atlantic Neil Gaiman, long inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction, presents a bravura rendition of the Norse gods and their world from their origin though their upheaval in Ragnarok. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman stays true to the myths in envisioning the major Norse pantheon: Odin, the highest of the high, wise, daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin’s son, incredibly strong yet not the wisest of gods; and Loki—son of a giant—blood brother to Odin and a trickster and unsurpassable manipulator. Gaiman fashions these primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds and delves into the exploits of deities, dwarfs, and giants. Through Gaiman’s deft and witty prose, these gods emerge with their fiercely competitive natures, their susceptibility to being duped and to duping others, and their tendency to let passion ignite their actions, making these long-ago myths breathe pungent life again.", 1718118155976 ] ]
