The world's foremost designer in Formula One, Adrian Newey OBE is arguably one of Britain's greatest engineers and this is his fascinating, powerful memoir.How to Build a Car explores the story of Adrian's unrivalled 35-year career in Formula One through the prism of the cars he has designed, the drivers he has worked alongside and the races in which he's been involved.A true engineering genius, even in adolescence Adrian's thoughts naturally emerged in shape and form – he began sketching his own car designs at the age of 12 and took a welding course in his school summer holidays. From his early career in IndyCar racing and on to his unparalleled success in Formula One, we learn in comprehensive, engaging and highly entertaining detail how a car actually works. Adrian has designed for the likes of Mario Andretti, Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost, Damon Hill, David Coulthard, Mika Hakkinen, Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel, always with a shark-like purity of purpose: to make the car go faster. And while his career has been marked by unbelievable triumphs, there have also been deep tragedies; most notably Ayrton Senna's death during his time at Williams in 1994.Beautifully illustrated with never-before-seen drawings, How to Build a Car encapsulates, through Adrian's remarkable life story, precisely what makes Formula One so thrilling – its potential for the total synchronicity of man and machine, the perfect combination of style, efficiency and speed.

'Like sitting in a room with Mark and hearing the best stories in the world, wound up with wisdom, craft, and hard-won philosophy' Burkhard Bilger, The New Yorker 'A brilliantly engaging storyteller, laugh-out-loud funny, loving, cheekily smug.... An enjoyable read on making, inventing and what might contribute to a life worth living' Julie Mehretu, Painter--Over the past forty years, Mark Ellison has worked on some of the most beautiful homes you've never seen, specializing in rarefied and challenging projects with the most demanding of clients. He built a staircase a famed architect called a masterpiece.He worked on the iconic Sky House, which Interior Design named the best apartment of the decade. He's even worked on the homes of David Bowie, Robin Williams, and others whose names he cannot reveal. He is regarded by many as the best carpenter in New York.But before he was any of that, Ellison was just 'a serial dropout' who spent his young adult years taking work where he found it and sleeping on couches. In How to Build Impossible Things, Ellison tells the story of his unconventional education in the world of architecture and design, and how he learned the satisfaction and joy that comes from doing something well for a long time. He takes us on a tour through the lofts, penthouses, and townhouses of New York's elite which he has transformed over the years - before they're camera-ready - and offers a window into what he's learned about living meaningfully along the way.Scrapped blueprints and last-minute demands characterise life in the high-stakes world of luxury construction. From staircases that would be deadly if built as designed to algae-eating snails boiled to escargot in a penthouse pond, Ellison exposes the messy wiring behind the pristine walls - and the mindset that any of us can develop to build our own impossible things.

'A fascinating hybrid. Part freewheeling history of the rise of the modern autonomous vehicle, part intimate memoir from an insider who was on the front lines for much of that history, Autonomy will more than bring readers up to speed on one of today's most closely watched technologies' Brian Merchant, author of The One Device From the ultimate insider - a former General Motors executive and current advisor to the Google Self-Driving Car project - comes the definitive story of the race between Google, Tesla and Uber to create the driverless car. We stand on the brink of a technological revolution. In the near future, most of us will not own automobiles, but will travel instead in driverless electric vehicles summoned at the touch of an app. We will be liberated from driving, so that the time we spend in cars can be put to more productive use. We will prevent more than 90 percent of car crashes, provide freedom of mobility to the elderly and disabled and decrease our dependence on fossil fuels. Autonomy tells the story of the maverick engineers and computer experts who triggered the revolution. Lawrence Burns - long-time adviser to the Google self-driving car project (now Waymo) and former corporate vice president of research, development and planning at General Motors - provides the perfectly timed history of how we arrived at this point, in a character-driven and vivid account of the unlikely thinkers who accomplished what billion-dollar automakers never dared. Beginning at a 2004 off-road robot race across the Mojave Desert with a million-dollar purse and continuing up to the current stampede to develop driverless technology, Autonomy is a page-turning chronicle of the past, a diagnosis of the present and a prediction of the future - the ultimate guide to understanding the driverless car and to navigating the revolution it has sparked.show less

When she accidentally stumbles upon a strange and curious note in the Chou archives, she convinces herself it's her ticket out of academic hell. But Ingrid's in much deeper than she thinks.Her clumsy exploits to unravel the note's message lead to an explosive discovery, one that upends her entire life and the lives of those around her.

Třináctiletý Jamie O'Neill miluje červenou barvu. A k tomu vysoké stromy, déšť s větrem, knihy s přebalem, kočky, řeky a Edgara Allana Poea. Přeje si především dvě věci: sestrojit perpetuum mobile a komunikovat se svou matkou, která zemřela záhy po jeho narození. V Jamieho mysli jsou tyto věci úzce spjaty. A na nové škole, kde ho vše jen mate a zahlcuje, najde dva lidi, kteří by mu mohli s tímhle přáním pomoci. Působivý román Jak postavit loď vypráví o tom, jak jeden chlapec a jeho poslání promění životy učitelů Tess a Tadhga. Něžný i silný příběh pojednává o lásce, rodině a mezilidských vazbách, o síle představivosti a o tom, že největší dobrodružství nikdy neprožíváme sami.

As discussed in The Da Vinci Code... Long buried and suppressed, the Gnostic Gospels contain the secret writings attributed to the followers of Jesus. In 1945 fifty-two papyrus texts, including gospels and other secret documents, were found concealed in an earthenware jar buried in the Egyptian desert.These so-called Gnostic writings were Coptic translations from the original Greek dating from the time of the New Testament. The material they embodied - poems, quasi-philosophical descriptions of the origins of the universe, myths, magic and instructions for mystic practice - were later declared heretical, as they offered a powerful alternative to the Orthodox Christian tradition. In a book that is as exciting as it is scholarly, Elaine Pagels examines these texts and the questions they pose and shows why Gnosticism was eventually stamped out by the increasingly organised and institutionalised Orthodox Church.

Je vaše dítě… citlivé téměř na vše - škrábající oblečení, nezvyklé chutě, hlasité zvuky a změnu v navyklém denním režimu? Má bohatou fantazii, často sní, bojí se strašidelných filmů anebo bývá nesmělé a stydlivé v nových situacích? Je snadno zranitelné, špatně snáší kritiku a vždy se snaží udělat vše správně? Pokud ano, možná patří k 15 až 20 procentům dětí, které se rodí vysoce citlivé, to znamená, že nad vším hluboce přemýšlejí, vnímají i jemné podněty, detaily a nuance a bývají snadno zahlcené. Díky těmto vlastnostem může být vaše dítě velmi inteligentní, svědomité a tvořivé, ale pokud se mu nedostává správné výchovy anebo vhodného přístupu ve škole, může být neobvykle plaché či stydlivé anebo přehnaně emocionální. Jen málo rodičů a učitelů však chápe skutečnou příčinu tohoto jeho chování, v důsledku čehož bývají vysoce citlivé děti často označovány jako nejisté, stydlivé, ustrašené anebo malicherné či bývají považovány za „problémové děti“ (nebo jim dokonce bývá mylně diagnostikována porucha pozornosti). V této průkopnické knize vám psychoterapeutka Elaine Aron vysvětlí, že pokud se vám či vašemu okolí zdá, že vaše dítě trpí uvedenými problémy, ve skutečnosti může být pouze vysoce citlivé. Současně vám vysvětlí, že jestliže se vysoce citlivým dětem dostane správné péče a pochopení, mohou z nich vyrůst šťastní, zdraví a úspěšní dospělí lidé. Tato kniha je založena na mnohaletých autorčiných zkušenostech s prací s vysoce citlivými dětmi a jejich rodinami i na jejím vlastním výzkumu dětského temperamentu. Najdete zde informace o tom, jak překonat problémy spojené s výchovou vysoce citlivého dítěte; čtyři klíče k výchově šťastného vysoce citlivého dítěte i rady, jak mu pomoci vzkvétat v tomto necitlivém světě a jak si poradit s životem ve škole a problémy ve vztazích s ostatními dětmi. V druhé části knihy se seznámíte s potřebami a specifickými výchovnými postupy v jednotlivých obdobích života svého vysoce citlivého dítěte od narození až do jeho dospělosti a odchodu z domova. Kniha Vysoce citlivé děti je neocenitelným průvodcem nejen pro rodiče, ale i učitele a všechny ostatní, kteří s nimi přicházejí do kontaktu. Elaine N. Aron, Ph.D. je vysoce citlivým člověkem a autorkou světového bestseleru Vysoce citliví lidé a několika dalších knih o vysoké citlivosti. Vystudovala klinickou psychologii na Yorské univerzitě v Torontu a později získala doktorát z psychologie, absolvovala také výcvik na Jungově institutu v San Francisku. Věnuje se své úspěšné soukromé psychoterapeutické praxi a současně se proslavila svými výzkumy v oblasti rodinných vztahů a odbornými vědeckými články. Pořádá přednášky, semináře a kurzy pro veřejnost a vysoce citlivé lidi po celých Spojených státech. První průvodce pro rodiče vysoce citlivých dětí
