Snapshots of Great Leadership offers a thorough look into leaders who have either accomplished amazing feats or brought destruction. Now in its third edition, this key volume explores what it means to be a great leader, and clearly explains the lives, triumphs, and challenges of a range of diverse leaders across history and into the modern day.Packed into easily digestible chapters, the authors demonstrate how, although the goals of these individuals were often quite different, the leadership processes they used were frequently similar. The opening chapter explains the latest theories of leadership and this new edition features one new leadership theory, Authentic Leadership, as well as recent research findings on the most popular theories. The authors have replaced nine leaders from earlier editions with new leaders including Elon Musk, Maria Montessori, and Virginia Hall. These new leaders exemplify unique leadership attributes and outstanding leadership effectiveness. Each leader snapshot adds an important "reality check" to the theories and models described in most introductory leadership textbooks, making this a key text for students taking leadership courses.Scholars and students of leadership and management will benefit from this accessible and comprehensive volume, as will leadership practitioners looking to reflect on and develop their own leadership skills. Offering valuable insights into the lives of historical and corporate leaders, the book is a compelling read for casual readers as well.

Irena Štěpánová in this book explores Isaac Newton's engagement with ancient wisdom, the Hexameral tradition, Hermeticism, theology, alchemy as well as natural philosophy. In so doing, she brings together the established historiography with her own new insights. Štěpánová's study is more than a study of Newton's thought, for it contains a good deal of background on ancient (e.g., Hermeticism) and early modern thought (e.g., the Cambridge Platonists). She also uses the interpretative lenses of several contemporary Newton and non-Newton scholars in her work. Moreover, provides helpful summaries of Newton's thought (e.g., his theology). Štěpánová has provided Newton scholarship a great service in this book, not only by making her Czech-language work available in English, but bringing to the English-language reader learning on Hebraic thought, philosophy of life and Hermeticism originally published in Czech. (Abstract from the review by Stephen David Snobelen Associate Professor, History of Science and Technology Programme, University of King's College, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, and Director of Newton Project Canada)

Already famous throughout Europe for his theories of planetary motion and gravity, Isaac Newton decided to take on the job of running the Royal Mint. And there, Newton became drawn into a battle with William Chaloner, the most skilful of counterfeiters, a man who not only got away with faking His Majesty''s coins (a crime that the law equated with treason), but was trying to take over the Mint itself. But Chaloner had no idea who he was taking on. Newton pursued his enemy with the cold, implacable logic that he brought to his scientific research. Set against the backdrop of early eighteenth-century London with its sewers running down the middle of the streets, its fetid rivers, its packed houses, smoke and fog, its industries and its great port, this dark tale of obsession and revenge transforms our image of Britain''s greatest scientist.

Isaac Newton (1642-1727), the English genius, made his greatest contributions to original thought before the age of twenty-five, while at home in Lincolnshire escaping the great plague of 1665, a period of which he wrote: ''I was in the prime of age for invention.'' Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge, an MP, Master of the Mind and President of the Royal Society, Newton, the author of Principia, one of the most important books in the history of science, was fascinated by calculus, the planets and the ''laws of motion'', and, in keeping with his age, blurred the borders between natural philosophy and speculation: he was as passionate about astrology as astronomy and dabbled in alchemy, while his religious faith was never undermined by his scientific reasoning.Peter Ackroyd brings this somewhat puritanical man to life and demonstrates the unique brilliance of his perceptions, which changed our world forever.

Lord’s fascinating reconstruction of life during plague times presents the personal experiences of a wide range of individuals, from historical notables Samuel Pepys and Isaac Newton to common folk who tilled the land and ran the shops. She brings this dark era to vivid life through stories of loss and survival from those who grieved, those who fled, and those who hid to await their fate.

Carolyn L. Baker grew up in Southern California during segregation and came of age in the counter-cultural climate of the 1960s. Many years later, when Baker was in her mid-sixties, she first learned of the murder of Emmett Till, sparking an investigation of her own position as a white woman in the midst of a world of racial trauma. An Unintentional Accomplice follows Baker’s awakening to the realities of her own white privilege, confronting white guilt, navigating aspects of white identity, and searching out ways to be an ally who both acknowledges her own position and seeks to provide active support for those who live with a different set of circumstances. We find Baker facing the painful reality that, no matter how unintentional, she plays a role within a system that continues to inflict racial harm. She comes to realize that, by not actively opposing discrimination, as a white person, she acts as an accomplice.  An Unintentional Accomplice offers a non-judgmental personal narrative that invites readers to explore the complexities of race in America and how to navigate the guilt that can arise in the face of these realities. The book defines institutionalized discrimination, illustrates the distance between the American dream and American reality, calls for a radically inclusive feminism, and suggests relevant ways to change direction and take action to build a more humane nation.

Audiokniha: „Chcete-li pochopit dnešní Silicon Valley, určitě si přečtěte tuto knihu. — John Carreyrou, autor bestselleru Zlá krev O knize Válka o Uber je podnikatelský thriller o startupu, který měl našlápnuto mezi giganty jako Apple, Google nebo Amazon. Mike Isaac přibližuje drsnou cestu Uberu na špici technologického světa, při které společnost málem zadusila samu sebe. Z mistrovské mozaiky oživené o nová svědectví a dokumenty pochopíte, jak se rodí „jednorožec“ s miliardovou hodnotou, i to, jak padá až po krk do bahna kvůli toxické kultuře a metodám na hraně zákona i za ní. Zakladatel a šéf Uberu Travis Kalanick se nikdy s ničím nemazal. Od okamžiku, kdy firma vznikla, pořád s někým válčil – s taxislužbami, úřady, konkurenty, investory i vlastními řidiči. Vytáčeli ho všichni, kdo mu nechtěli uhnout z cesty. V tvrdých střetech si nebral servítky a spustil tak sérii katastrof, která nakonec semlela hlavně jeho samotného. Právě Kalanick je v příběhu mladých technologických neurvalců, kteří dosáhli až absurdního bohatství, hlavním hrdinou. A zároveň největším padouchem. Strhující příběh přibližuje obří ambice, podvody a podlosti, které chtěl Uber schovat před světem. Ve firmě, kterou zákazníci nejdříve milovali a pak nenáviděli, se děly věci, z nichž šel mráz po zádech i zaměstnancům. A které otřásly celým Silicon Valley a vyústily v jednu z nejhorších kapitol v amerických korporátních dějinách. V knize se mimo jiné dočtete: - Jak se zrodila myšlenka na revoluční dopravní službu. - S čím firmě pomáhali zkušení špioni ze CIA nebo NSA. - Na čem si společnost vylámala zuby v Číně a proč tam nejde uspět. - Co se stane, když podrazíte Apple nebo Google. - Jak probíhá tajná akce s cílem svrhnout vládce mnohamiliardového kolosu. O autorovi Mike Isaac (* 1984) působí jako reportér New York Times se specializací na technologie. Za reportáže o Uberu získal Cenu Geralda Loeba za přínos v oblasti ekonomické žurnalistiky. Kromě Uberu pravidelně přibližuje dění ve Facebooku a dalších gigantech ze Silicon Valley, často vystupuje ve zpravodajství televizních stanic CNBC a MSNBC. Žije v San Francisku. Řekli o knize „Travis Kalanick změnil celé jedno odvětví, vydělal miliardy dolarů a stvořil společnost, jejíž název v angličtině zdomácněl jako sloveso. To vše dokázal tak, že zničil cokoli a kohokoli, kdo mu vstoupil do cesty. Strhující četba o debaklu ‚tech bro‘ kultury.“ – Nick Bilton, zvláštní korespondent časopisu Vanity Fair „Příběh Uberu, krále takzvaných ‚jednorožců‘, je podobenstvím o moci – a o tom, kam až jsou zakladatelé startupů schopni zajít, aby jí dosáhli. Kromě toho, že jde o poutavé čtení, vás v knize Mikea Isaaca jistě zaujme spousta nových šokujících a pobuřujících odhalení.“ – John Carreyrou, autor bestselleru Zlá krev „O této knize byste měli především vědět, že je nesmírně zábavná. Přitom pojednává o důležitých tématech, protože Isaac ukazuje, jak pomocí nečistých interních praktik a bojů o moc vznikla společnost, která je nyní v dobrém i ve zlém součástí moderního života.“ – Bethany McLeanová, autorka knihy The Smartest Guys in the Room „Poutavá a mistrovsky sepsaná kniha, která nabízí zásadní vhled do Silicon Valley a jeho kultury růstu za každou cenu.“ – Sheelah Kolhatkarová, autorka knihy Black Edge „Detailní a nemilosrdné líčení podnikatelské arogance, excesů a nelítostného konkurenčního boje v jedné z nejsledovanějších, nejnenáviděnějších a sociálně nejtransformativnějších technologických společností. Mike Isaac v knize na příkladu turbulentního vývoje Uberu a Kalanickova konečného pádu v nemilost osvětluje – a obviňuje – některé obchodní praktiky, kulturní hodnoty a mýty utvářející naši novou sociální infrastrukturu.“ – Anna Wienerová, autorka knihy Tísnivé údolí Více o knize melvil.cz/kniha-valka-o-uber

Helmut Newton (1920–2004) always showed a healthy disdain for the easy or predictable, so it’s no surprise that the SUMO was an irresistible project. The idea of a book the size of a private exhibition, with spectacular images reproduced to state-of-the-art origination and printing standards, emerged from an open, experimental dialogue between photographer and publisher. With the SUMO weighing in—boxed and shrink-wrapped—at 35.4 kg (just under 80 pounds), Newton created a landmark book that stood head and shoulders above anything previously attempted, both in terms of conceptual extravagance and technical specifications.Published in an edition of 10,000 signed and numbered copies, the SUMO sold out soon after publication and quickly multiplied its value. It now features in numerous collections around the world, including New York’s Museum of Modern Art. The legendary copy number one, signed by more than 100 of the book’s featured celebrities, broke the record for the most expensive book published in the 20th century, sold at an auction in Berlin on April 6, 2000 for 620,000 German marks—about 317,000 euros.Now, this XL edition celebrates 20 years of SUMO, the result of a project conceived by Helmut Newton some years ago. Revised by his wife June, the volume gathers 464 images and a new booklet that takes us through the making-of this publishing venture—a spectacular tribute to the larger-than-life Helmut Newton, now in a friendly format.Images © The Helmut Newton Estate / Maconochie Photography

Helmut Newton’s unforgettable images, at once sophisticated and provocative, constitute a rich and ever-relevant artistic legacy. This book presents a compact but wide-ranging and impactful portfolio of his work, supported by an insightful introduction and a detailed biographical chronology. Newton’s images straddle the knife-edge of ambiguity, teasing out allusions and social observations that both entice and challenge their viewers.In this portfolio, Newton’s unique perspective is effectively showcased, reflecting the complex undercurrents that give his images their distinct character across the breadth of his editorial work in the fields of fashion and portraiture. This book reveals Newton’s evolution into a contrarian, a savvy and mischievous cynic, at once voyeur and satirist, whose lens framed contentious yet pivotal aspects of high fashion and high society in the latter decades of the twentieth century. He worked as a “gun for hire” while imposing his own perspectives and obsessions, defining most notably his idea of a powerful, self-assured woman.This figure became his most insistent theme, developed in erotically charged scenarios, most typically set in the seductive environment of opulent apartments or grand hotels, most notably in Paris, Monte Carlo, and Los Angeles. From the mid-sixties, Newton’s dynamic images established his reputation in the world of fashion, through work published in leading magazines, among them Vogue Paris, Elle, Marie Claire, Nova, Queen, and British Vogue. From the mid-seventies his notoriety was extended through his first books and exhibitions.His images immortalize such luminaries of society, film, and fashion as Princess Caroline of Monaco, Charlotte Rampling, Paloma Picasso, and Karl Lagerfeld. Helmut Newton’s glamorous, ground-breaking, and boundary-pushing photographs have an indisputable signature authority that maintains their hold on our imaginations.

Catalogues the recent critically acclaimed exhibition of Isaac Julien’s work at the de Young Museum, San Francisco. Sir Isaac Julien (b 1960), one of the UK’s leading artists working in film and video, is celebrated for his poetic yet astutely political films and video installations that reflect on the intersection of power, politics and personal experience through the lens of identity, race and sexuality. Distinguished by their fusion of fact and fiction, social critique and aesthetic immersion, his video installations offer poetic meditations on catalytic political and cultural events that have shaped the lives of individuals and societies around the world. His work breaks down the barriers between different artistic disciplines, melding references to cinema, art, poetry, performance and music into spellbinding political allegories that challenge our understanding of histories, both past and present. Isaac Julien: I Dream a World accompanies the first comprehensive retrospective of this renowned artist and filmmaker in the United States. Centering ten of the artist’s key works shot across the Americas, Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and Europe, this volume situates his work within a global context. Provocative essays by a roster of contemporary writers and lavish galleries that feature multiple views of Julien’s work further mark this as an indispensable book on the artist and the subject of art history today.
