What happens when our cultural and artistic lives are dictated to us by an algorithm? What does it mean when shareability supersedes innovation? How can we make a choice when the options have been so carefully arranged for us? From coffee shops to city grids to TikTok feeds and Netflix homepages the world over, algorithmic recommendations prescribe our experiences. This network of mathematically determined choices - the 'Filterworld' - has taken over, almost unnoticed, as we've grown accustomed to an insipid new normal. But to have our tastes, behaviours, and emotions governed by computers calls the very notion of free will into question.Internationally recognized journalist and New Yorker staff writer Kyle Chayka journeys through this ever-tightening web woven by algorithms. He explores how online and offline spaces alike have been engineered for seamless consumption. How the lowest common denominator is promoted at the expense of the complex, diverse or challenging.How users of technology contend with data-driven equations that promise to anticipate their desires but often get them wrong. How the FIlterworld is determining the very shape of culture itself. Chayka skilfully and compellingly traces this creeping, machine-guided curation that influences not just what culture we consume, but what culture is produced.In doing so, he attempts to answer to the most urgent question currently facing us: is personal freedom ever again possible on the Internet?Filterworld is a fascinating history of the rise of the algorithm and an important investigation into where it could take us next - if we let it.

The #1 New York Times bestselling memoir of U.S. Navy Seal Chris Kyle, and the source for Clint Eastwood’s blockbuster, Academy-Award nominated movie. “An amazingly detailed account of fighting in Iraq--a humanizing, brave story that’s extremely readable.” — PATRICIA CORNWELL, New York Times Book Review"Jaw-dropping...Undeniably riveting." —RICHARD ROEPER, Chicago Sun-TimesFrom 1999 to 2009, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle recorded the most career sniper kills in United States military history. His fellow American warriors, whom he protected with deadly precision from rooftops and stealth positions during the Iraq War, called him “The Legend”; meanwhile, the enemy feared him so much they named him al-Shaitan (“the devil”) and placed a bounty on his head. Kyle, who was tragically killed in 2013, writes honestly about the pain of war—including the deaths of two close SEAL teammates—and in moving first-person passages throughout, his wife, Taya, speaks openly about the strains of war on their family, as well as on Chris. Gripping and unforgettable, Kyle’s masterful account of his extraordinary battlefield experiences ranks as one of the great war memoirs of all time.

"The influential artist Hedi Kyle and renowned architecture graduate Ulla Warchol shows you how to create their unique designs using folding techniques. From creating flag books and fishbones, to blizzards and nesting boxes, you''ll gain an invaluable insight into the work of two skilled artists with this fun read! With the help of their thorough instructions and simple illustrations, you''ll be on your way to becoming a pro paper crafter in no time at all" - Sew magazine"A wonderful insight into the work of a truly skilled artist" - PaperCrafterThe renowned and influential book artist Hedi Kyle shows you step-by-step how to create her unique designs using folding techniques in The Art of the Fold. Bookbinding and paper craft projects include flag books, blizzard books, the fishbone fold, and nesting boxes.Written by the doyenne of artists'' books, Hedi Kyle, The Art of the Fold is a wonderful insight into the work of a truly skilled artist. Hedi will show you how to bind a book and fold paper to create over 35 of her cut-fold book designs. The book is beautifully illustrated with Hedi''s finished works of art.An excerpt from the book:''I can still remember the thrill I experienced when my first folded book structure emerged from my fingers - how eager I was to explore its possibilities and to share it with whoever was interested. The Flag Book, as I now call it, is a simple accordion and has interlocking pages oriented in opposite directions. Little did I know that this simple structure would have legs and be the catalyst for the next forty-plus years of thinking about and making books.The common perception of the book today is fairly straightforward: a series of pages organized around a spine and protected on either side by two covers. This format allows for easy access, storage and retrieval of information. Yet what happens when the book is stripped away of centuries of preconceptions and is allowed to reveal something else: playfulness, utility, invention? Expanding the notion of the book is what the structures in the following chapters of The Art of the Fold attempt to do. Exploring its tactile, sculptural form, primarily through folding methods, the book as a structural object is celebrated while content is considered in a new and unconventional way.My range in this medium has always been broad. In part this is due to my introduction to the world of bookbinding and some chance encounters. In the 1970s in New York City, the art and craft of hand bookbinding and papermaking were experiencing an unprecedented revival. I was fortunate to arrive in the city at just this moment. With an art-school background and an impulse to make things, I was naturally drawn to pursue this new opportunity. The Center for Book Arts, the famous forerunner of so many centers yet to come, was located in a small storefront just down the street from where I lived on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Under the direction of founder Richard Minsky, it had a radical mission: to push concept, materials, printing and making of artist books in a new direction. When Richard dared me to teach at the Center one evening a week, I was hooked.My career as a book conservator and a book artist has now spanned over 45 years. As head conservator at the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia, I''ve had the opportunity to handle some of the rarest volumes and manuscripts in the world. I have also dealt with decrepit books, torn maps and countless curiosities discovered in stacks and archives. All were endless sources for ideas and provided a springboard for a departure from tradition. Leading book-arts workshops around the world and a 25 year tenure teaching in the graduate program for Book Arts and Printmaking at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia have shown me, in retrospect, that the more I taught, the more it propelled me to experiment and develop my ideas. The many students I have had over the years were always my biggest inspiration, and they continue to be so.'' - Hedi Kyle, Pine Hill, NY Sept 2017

As you travel with Kyle during two cross-country bike rides through the American West, Texas, the Southern States, and finally to the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, the grueling rides become a compelling backdrop for a series of lessons and ruminations which embrace an alternative worldview and provide practical solutions to everyday problems.

He bravely exposes the shadow-side of using disabling language and asks us to commit to a collective goal of understanding disease and its emotional impact and embrace the disabled population as equal individuals. In telling his story, Kyle''s desire is that instead of viewing disease as a deficit, we would see it as another state of being—simply as a life which strikes out on a different path.

Audiokniha: Ani všechny krásy Tasmánie vám nevyženou z hlavy Hladového dědka… Když se v divočině tasmánských hor ztratí během výletu čtveřice náctiletých školaček, mají obyvatelé městečka Limestone Creek pocit děsivého déjà vu, neboť k podobné události tu došlo už v roce 1985. Právě od té doby mezi zdejší mládeží koluje strašidelná legenda o Hladovém dědkovi, který ve skalách číhá na hezké dívenky… Zkušený detektiv Con Badenhorst, který je k případu povolán, sice na pověry nedá, ale i tak je mu jasné, že ho čeká nadmíru složité vyšetřování. Musí se totiž vypořádat nejen se všemi podezřelými, ale také s rodinami pohřešovaných dívek, zkorumpovanými policisty, drogovými dealery a v neposlední řadě s intrikami místní celebrity – kamarádky zmizelých dívek mající na sociálních sítích stovky tisíc sledujících. A ještě mu za krk dýchá jeho šéfová, která se na rozdíl od něj nejvíce strachuje o vlastní reputaci. Podaří se najít děvčata živá? Kdo stojí za jejich zmizením? A proč má Con neodbytný pocit, že mu tady nikdo neříká celou pravdu? Oceňovaná prvotina Kylea Perryho těží z jeho důkladné znalosti tasmánské přírody a bohatých zkušeností s lidmi, kteří se ocitli na šikmé ploše. „Debut Kylea Perryho z prostředí strašidelné divočiny vypráví děsivý a horečnatý příběh o kyberzločinech, drogové závislosti a rodinných traumatech.“ – The Canberra Times

When an ex-Navy SEAL ends up injured and imprisoned, a shadowy ring of power brokers offers him the only way out-through a high-stakes military mission. A "searing, cerebral, high-stakes knockout" (Prairies Book Review) international political espionage thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Kyle Mills. "Wall to wall action. Great book," as recommended by bestselling thriller author Brad Thor on Today. "Fade is a badass operator whom even a coma can't stop. . . . Plenty of action, plenty of fun." -Kirkus ReviewsWhen ex-navy SEAL Salam "Fade" al-Fayed steps in front of a sniper's bullet, he assumes that he's reached the end of the road-his death wish has finally been answered. Instead, he wakes in a hospital. As one of the deadliest operatives in U.S. history, he's now incapable of even standing without assistance. Alone and wanted by authorities, he's destined to spend the rest of his life lying in a prison infirmary. So when a shadowy organization offers him a new identity and next-generation medical care, he has no choice but to agree. Nothing's free, though. After a grueling rehabilitation, he's drafted into an elite paramilitary unit. But who's in charge? When a dire threat-a highly contagious pathogen-explodes out of China, his question is quickly answered: A select group of the world's wealthiest and most powerful people has decided that governments are no longer capable of controlling the chaos erupting around the globe. It's a power grab by billionaires who've decided that it's their time to rule. With panic rising, the leaders of both democracies and dictatorships prove equally willing to destroy anything and anyone to save themselves. Forced into action before he's fully ready, Fade finds himself at the sharp end of a mission to stop a menace unlike any he's faced before. If he fails, the consequences will be unimaginable. But what if he succeeds? No one elected the people he's working for. And God sure as hell didn't ordain them. Has he signed on to save the human race . . . or to help quietly enslave it? Fade In tackles the complex threats of international espionage, power imbalances, and global terrorism-and introduces a character destined to take his place among legends like Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp, Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne, Lee Child's Jack Reacher, and Daniel Silva's Gabriel Allon. "The prose snaps and hums. . . Fade In is a gripping, violent, and often heartbreaking book. It's for readers who like their thrillers with a sharp philosophical bite." -Literary Titan Kyle Mills is the author of nine New York Times bestselling Vince Flynn novels featuring Mitch Rapp.

Jak naložit s válkou, která už patří dějinám, ale neskončila pro ty, kdo ji šťastně přežili, když se k nim zákeřně vrátí tam, kde ji vůbec nečekali? Pod blankytnou oblohou na klidném moři mezi Tahiti a Velikonočním ostrovem brázdí Pacifik luxusní výletní křižník MS Harmonie. Stovky pasažérů se kochají přírodou, počasím a programem plavby. Až na čtyři! Německá vdova po průmyslovém magnátu a český lékař ve švýcarském důchodu, kteří ani ve vysokém věku na sebe nepřestali vzpomínat s nenávistí, neboť si v moravských Sudetech před válkou a po ní těžce ublížili, se zlou náhodou potkají po vice než půl století na téže palubě, odkud není na této dlouhé trase úniku. Se starou dámou cestuje studující vnuk, jenž se vzpamatovává z tragické smrti přítele, starý pán doprovází svou snachu, kterou právě opustil jeho syn, a on má o ni strach… důvodný, jelikož těžce otřesená mladá žena je přitahována právě tou nekonečně dlouhou vlnou za kýlem. Neviditelně pro cestující i posádku se v zemském ráji a jiném století schyluje k poslední zuřivé bitvě dávné války. Starší dvojice prožívá situaci tím hůř, že důvody sváru nechápou ani jejich dva nejbližší. Ironií osudu si rozumějí vlastně jenom oba nepřátelé na život a na smrt…

My story is no different from countless other youngsters. I could easily have fallen into a life of crime, violence, alcohol, drugs and despair. I could have chosen to follow the negative path and repeat the cycle but instead I chose to dwell on the positive moments. It really doesn’t matter where you start but where you finish. Under the smiling face of ‘Glasgow’s Miles Better’, poverty and violence still loom large. Not everyone makes it out. But Scott Kyle did. Latch-key kid from the back streets of Rutherglen to award-winning actor and producer on red carpets around the world, Scott’s story is one of hope. With unflinching honesty and heart, he shares his journey, from a boy searching for belonging to a man determined to give back.

A significant problem within the legal profession is that many of the lawyers litigating cases and the judges deciding them have only a limited understanding of how to properly interpret empirical evidence. Trial by Numbers provides an easy way for members of the legal profession to acquire a basic understanding of the most common methods that serve as the building blocks for empirical evidence in academic articles, policy briefs, and expert witness reports. Adam Chilton and Kyle Rozema take a different approach to other introductory books on empirical methods, omitting the formulas and equations found in other books, and instead focusing on explaining the intuition and logic of common empirical methods. The work also exclusively use examples that are relevant to law school and legal practice.

In the next Mitch Rapp thriller, a bioterrorist threat threatens an America already weakened by internal divisions. The head of ISIS, Sayid Halabi, survived Mitch Rapp’s attack on him, but while he convalesced, he plotted. Once healed, Halabi kidnaps a brilliant Yemeni microbiologist and forces him to produce anthrax. ISIS releases videos of his progress and uses them to stir up hysteria in the States in the midst of an extremely divisive presidential election. ISIS contracts with a Mexican drug cartel to smuggle the anthrax into the US, but the anthrax is really just a feint. Unknown to anyone but Halabi’s team, he also kidnapped people infected with the virus with the plan to use the drug cartels’ human trafficking capability to smuggle these infected people into the US. If he succeeds, it would trigger a pandemic that would kill untold millions. Mitch and Irene Kennedy are, of course, on the case. But their ability to act is weakened by the fact that the man who is likely to be the next president despises them. When the DEA stumbles upon a shipment of anthrax coming into California, though, the current president has no choice but to give Mitch carte blanche to go after both the smugglers and ISIS. Mitch must infiltrate the drug cartel that has partnered with Halabi in a black ops mission compromised by political maneuvers and threatened by an unprecedented bioterrorism attack.*Praise for RED WAR* 'Outstanding . . .

Over the course of several goals, it could transform the trajectory of your career. Applied to a lifetime of goals, it can level up your legacy.Discover the life-changing power of probabilistic thinking through a rich variety of unforgettable stories—starring Abraham Lincoln, Marilyn Monroe, a forensic pathologist who’s conducted over 20,000 autopsies, and a team of Olympic athletes who changed the course of history.If you’re ready to win more, lose less, and wake up with the sturdy confidence that comes from having the odds on your side, Success is a Numbers Game is a must-read.
