Francis Collins rozoberá vzťah vedy a náboženstva s rozumom a s úctou. Jeho kombinácia jasného vedeckého výkladu a osobnej reflexie je presiaknutá intelektuálnou aj duchovnou poctivosťou. Každý, kto sa pýta, ako môže byť viera zosúladená s vedeckým poznaním, každý, kto sa obáva, že moderná veda podrýva základy náboženstva, každý, kto sa chce zúčastniť na informovanej diskusii o kritických otázkach našej doby, by si mal túto knihu prečítať.William D. Phillipsfyzik, držiteľ Nobelovej ceny (1997) za objavy v oblasti laserového chladenia elementárnych častíc Francis Collins a jeho kniha sú pre mňa príkladom, ako konzistentne veriť Biblii a byť zároveň skvelým vedcom. Spolu s ním sa divím nad zázrakom toho, ako Boh vytvoril zložitosť vesmíru aj života pomocou zdanlivo jednoduchých procesov a inštrukcií.Daniel Nagajslovenský vedec, doktorát z kvantovej fyziky obhájil na MIT Center for Theoretical Physics v Bostone Napriek tomu, že Francis Collins je vedec a lekár na svetovej úrovni, racionalitu a poctivé vedecké uvažovanie nevníma v konflikte s morálkou či vierou. Naopak, intelektuálna poctivosť pre neho znamená ako systematické uvažovanie o ľudskom genóme, tak aj uvažovanie o hraniciach správnosti ľudského konania. V tejto knihe ponúka ojedinelú kombináciu, keď rovnocenne zastupuje záujmy vedeckého pokroku aj bioetiky. Upozorňuje na demagógiu , často typickú pre obe strany, a vyzýva na diskusiu založenú na racionálnom prístupe a vzájomnom rešpekte.Lucia Krčméryoválekárka a bioetička, absolventka Kolégia Antona Neuwirtha a LF UK, medicínsku etiku a právo vyštudovala na King s College London

From world-leading scientist and New York Times bestselling author of The Language of God, a deeply thoughtful guidebook to discerning what and who we can trust to move us from societal discord to civic harmony.As the COVID-19 pandemic revealed, western society has become not just hyper-partisan, but also deeply cynical; distrustful of traditional sources of knowledge and wisdom such as science and faith. Scepticism about vaccines led to the needless deaths of at least 230,000 Americans, and Do your own research is now a rallying cry in many online rabbit holes. Yes, experts can make mistakes, and institutions can lose their moral compass, but there are reliable ways and means to weigh information and navigate truth, and The Road to Wisdom is here to help us rediscover them.Francis Collins reminds us of the four core sources of judgement and clear thinking: truth, science, faith, and trust. Drawing on his scientific work at the forefront of the Human Genome Project and the US National Institutes of Health, as well as on ethics, philosophy, and theology, Collins makes a robust, thoughtful case for each of these sources - their reliability, and their limits. Ultimately, he shows how they work together, not separately - and certainly not in conflict. It is only when we re-link these four pillars of wisdom that we can begin to discern the best path forward in life.â ‹Hopeful, accessible, winsome, and deeply wise, The Road to Wisdom leads us beyond current animosities to surer footing. Here is the moral, philosophical, and scientific framework with which to address the problems of our time - on the world stage, but also in our daily lives.

Dr Francis S. Collins, head of the Human Genome Project, is one of the world s leading scientists, working at the cutting edge of the study of DNA, the code of life. Yet he is also a man of unshakable faith in God. How does he reconcile the seemingly unreconcilable? In THE LANGUAGE OF GOD he explains his own journey from atheism to faith, and then takes the reader on a stunning tour of modern science to show that physics, chemistry and biology -- indeed, reason itself -- are not incompatible with belief. His book is essential reading for anyone who wonders about the deepest questions of all: why are we here? How did we get here? And what does life mean?

The remarkable story of one manâ ™s struggle to overcome racism and revolutionise rugby coaching.In the 1950s and 1960s one man dominated rugby coaching like no other: Roy Francis. He led teams to championships and Wembley finals, revolutionised the art of coaching and inspired his players to incredible achievements. But even more amazingly for those times, he was a Black man in a white world.As the illegitimate child of a mixed-race couple who gave him up for adoption, his story recounts his upbringing in a Black family living in the Welsh coalfields, a childhood shaped by memories of the 1919 Welsh race riots and, foremost, his gift for rugby. Aged just seventeen, Roy played for Wigan and, despite facing racism, became the first Black player to play for Great Britain in either rugby codes.Roy Francis became Hull rugby league club coach in 1951 where he introduced video-analysis, sports psychology and personalised training â “ revolutionary methods which turned a mediocre team into championship winners. His crowning glory came when his Leeds team triumphed in the famous 1968 â ˜Watersplashâ ™ Wembley Cup Final, before he headed Down Under as North Sydney Bears club coach.Through archives, family membersâ ™ accounts and former playersâ ™ memories, Roy Francis tells the story of a familyâ ™s journey from slavery to sporting success, and of a remarkable man who defied prejudice to reach the pinnacle of rugby as a player, coach and leader.

The Moonstone is one of the first true works of detective fiction, in which Wilkie Collins established the groundwork for the genre itself. This Penguin Classics edition is edited with an introduction by Sandra Kemp.The Moonstone, a priceless yellow diamond, is looted from an Indian temple and maliciously bequeathed to Rachel Verinder. On her eighteenth birthday, her friend and suitor Franklin Blake brings the gift to her. That very night, it is stolen again. No one is above suspicion, as the idiosyncratic Sergeant Cuff and the Franklin piece together a puzzling series of events as mystifying as an opium dream and as deceptive as the nearby Shivering Sand. The intricate plot and modern technique of multiple narrators made Wilkie Collins s 1868 work a huge success in the Victorian sensation genre. With a reconstruction of the crime, red herrings and a locked-room puzzle, The Moonstone was also a major precursor of the modern mystery novel.In her introduction Sandra Kemp explores The Moonstone s the detective elements of Collins s writing, and reveals how Collins s sensibilities were untypical of his era.Wilkie Collins (1824-1889) was born in London in 1824, the eldest son of the landscape painter William Collins. In 1846 he was entered to read for the bar at Lincoln s Inn, where he gained the knowledge that was to give him much of the material for his writing. From the early 1850s he was a friend of Charles Dickens, who produced and acted in two melodramas written by Collins, The Lighthouse and The Frozen Deep. Of his novels, Collins is best remembered for The Woman in White (1859), No Name (1862), Armadale (1866) and The Moonstone (1868).If you enjoyed The Moonstone you might like Collins s The Woman in White, also available in Penguin Classics.

A witty, intricately-plotted exploration of a sudden fall from grace, the Penguin Classics edition of Wilkie Collins s No Name is edited with an introduction and notes by Mark Ford.Magdalen and her sister Norah, beloved daughters of Mr and Mrs Vanstone, find themselves the victims of a catastrophic oversight. Their father has neglected to change his will, and when the girls are suddenly orphaned, their inheritance goes to their uncle. Now penniless, the conventional Norah takes up a position as a governess, but the defiant and tempestuous Magdalen cannot accept the loss of what is rightfully hers and decides to do whatever she can to win it back. With the help of cunning Captain Wragge, she concocts a scheme that involves disguise, deceit and astonishing self-transformation. In this compelling, labyrinthine story Wilkie Collins brilliantly demonstrates the gap between justice and the law, and in the subversive Magdalen he portrays one of the most exhilarating heroines of Victorian fiction.In his introduction Mark Ford examines themes of identity and illegitimacy within Victorian society and compares No Name to Collins s more sensational fiction. This edition also includes notes and a bibliography.Wilkie Collins (1824-1889) was born in London in 1824, the eldest son of the landscape painter William Collins.

THE NEW QUESTIONTen years after the worldwide bestseller Good to Great, Jim Collins returns with another groundbreaking work, this time to ask: Why do some companies thrive in uncertainty, even chaos, and others do not? Based on nine years of research, buttressed by rigorous analysis and infused with engaging stories, Collins and his colleague, Morten Hansen, enumerate the principles for building a truly great enterprise in unpredictable, tumultuous, and fast-moving times.THE NEW STUDY Great by Choice distinguishes itself from Collins s prior work by its focus not just on performance, but also on the type of unstable environments faced by leaders today. With a team of more than twenty researchers, Collins and Hansen studied companies that rose to greatness - beating their industry indexes by a minimum of ten times over fifteen years - in environments characterized by big forces and rapid shifts that leaders could not predict or control. The research team then contrasted these 10X companies to a carefully selected set of comparison companies that failed to achieve greatness in similarly extreme environments.THE NEW FINDINGSThe study results were full of provocative surprises. Such as: * The best leaders were not more risk taking, more visionary, and more creative than the comparisons; they were more disciplined, more empirical, and more paranoid.* Innovation by itself turns out not to be the trump card in a chaotic and uncertain world; more important is the ability to scale innovation, to blend creativity with discipline.* Following the belief that leading in a fast world always requires fast decisions and fast action is a good way to get killed.* The great companies changed less in reaction to a radically changing world than the comparison companies.The authors challenge conventional wisdom with thought-provoking, sticky, and supremely practical concepts. They include 10Xers; the 20 Mile March; Fire Bullets then Cannonballs; Leading above the Death Line; Zoom Out, Then Zoom In; and the SMaC Recipe. Finally, in the last chapter, Collins and Hansen present their most provocative and original analysis: defining, quantifying, and studying the role of luck. The great companies and the leaders who built them were not luckier than the comparisons, but they did get a higher Return on Luck. This book is classic Collins: contrarian, data driven, and uplifting. He and Hansen show convincingly that, even in a chaotic and uncertain world, greatness happens by choice, not by chance.

Michael Collins and the Women Who Spied for Ireland is the first book to concentrate on the crucial role played by women in Collins s personal and working life. From his boyhood in an overwhelmingly female household in West Cork, women brought out the best in him and he brought out the best in them. Susan Killeen, his first girlfriend, remained a steadfast ally throughout his life. From 1917, his girlfriend, Madeline (Dilly) Dicker, helped to ease the burden of his huge workload as well as acting as a secret agent. Society ladies Moya Llewelyn Davies and Lady Hazel Lavery were conduits between Collins and the British Establishment and active participants in his work of espionage. In the final years of his life the true romantic passion between him and Kitty Kiernan is testified to by their frequent correspondence.These women, and many others who participated in the national struggle, women such as Kathleen Clarke, Leslie Price, Peg Barrett, Nancy O Brien, Madge Hales and Collins sister Mary Collins Powell, are woven into this fascinating narrative of Collins life.

Decline can be avoided. Decline can be detected. Decline can be reversed.Amidst the desolate landscape of fallen great companies, Jim Collins began to wonder: How do the mighty fall? Can decline be detected early and avoided? How far can a company fall before the path toward doom becomes inevitable and unshakable? How can companies reverse course?In How the Mighty Fall, Collins confronts these questions, offering leaders the well-founded hope that they can learn how to stave off decline and, if they find themselves falling, reverse their course. Collins research project-more than four years in duration-uncovered five step-wise stages of decline: Stage 1: Hubris Born of SuccessStage 2: Undisciplined Pursuit of MoreStage 3: Denial of Risk and PerilStage 4: Grasping for SalvationStage 5: Capitulation to Irrelevance or DeathBy understanding these stages of decline, leaders can substantially reduce their chances of falling all the way to the bottom. Great companies can stumble, badly, and recover.Every institution, no matter how great, is vulnerable to decline. There is no law of nature that the most powerful will inevitably remain at the top. Anyone can fall and most eventually do.But, as Collins research emphasizes, some companies do indeed recover-in some cases, coming back even stronger-even after having crashed into the depths of Stage 4. Decline, it turns out, is largely self-inflicted, and the path to recovery lies largely within our own hands. We are not imprisoned by our circumstances, our history, or even our staggering defeats along the way.As long as we never get entirely knocked out of the game, hope always remains. The mighty can fall, but they can often rise again.

Among the best poems that Collins has ever written â “ NPRIn Water, Water Billy Collins writes with joy and wonder about the beauties and ironies of everyday life. The best poems, he believes, begin in clarity and end with a hint of the sublime: A cat learns to drink from a swimming pool. An astronaut recites Emily Dickinson in space. Here is a writer devotedly in love with the world around him, fascinated by its pleasures but generously sensitive of its pains.Ever a laureate of the oblique, Collins is especially sensitive to disappearances and acts of concealment, sketching objects by the outlines their absence leaves: â ˜Everything in this hard placeâ ™, reflects one voice in â ˜Crying in Classâ ™, â ˜is designed to disappear.â ™ From griefâ ™s soft echoes, to the atheist equally afraid of heaven and hell, Collins remains as keenly vigilant of the light as he does the shadows which dance at its edges.â ˜A poet of plenitude, irony, and Augustan graceâ ™ The New Yorker Witty, wry and tender when it hurts, Water, Water is a pleasure to read and easy to give â “ The Washington Post

Who, in the name of wonder, had taken the Moonstone out of Miss Rachel s drawer?A celebrated Indian yellow diamond is first stolen from India, then vanishes from a Yorkshire country house. Who took it? And where is it now? A dramatist as well as a novelist, Wilkie Collins gives to each of his narratorsa household servant, a detective, a lawyer, a cloth-eared Evangelical, a dying medical manvibrant identities as they separately tell the part of the story that concerns themselves.One of the great triumphs of nineteenth-century sensation fiction, The Moonstone tells of a mystery that for page after page becomes more, not less inexplicable. Collins s novel of addictions is itself addictive, moving through a sequence of startling revelations towards the final disclosure of the truth. Entranced with double lives, with men and women who only know part of the story, Collins weaves their narratives into a web of suspense. The Moonstone is a text that grows imaginatively out of the secrets that the unconventional Collins was obliged to keep as he wrote the novel.

`This time the fiction is founded upon facts stated Wilkie Collins in his Preface to Man and Wife (1870). Many Victorian writers responded to contemporary debates on the rights and the legal status of women, and here Collins questions the deeply inequitable marriage laws of his day. Man and Wife examines the plight of a woman who, promised marriage by one man, comes to believe that she may inadvertently have gone through a form of marriage with his friend, as recognized by the archaic laws of Scotland and Ireland. From this starting-point Collins develops a radical critique of the values and conventions of Victorian society. Collins had already developed a reputation as the master of the `sensation novel , and Man and Wife is as fast moving and unpredictable as The Moonstone and The Woman in White. During the novel the atmosphere grows increasingly sinister as the setting moves from a country house to a London suburb and a world of confinement, plotting, and murder.

Existují společnosti, které navzdory těžkostem přemění dlouhodobě průměrný či ještě horší výkon na dlouhodobě skvělé výsledky? A pokud ano, jaké jsou univerzální určující vlastnosti, které způsobí, že se společnost změní z dobré ve skvělou? Za použití přísných testů určil Jim Collins a jeho výzkumný tým elitní skupinu společností, kterým se podařilo začít dosahovat skvělých výkonů a tyto skvělé výkony si udržet po dobu minimálně patnácti let. Jak byly skvělé? Po své transformaci vytvářely tyto firmy kumulované výnosy akcií, které překonávaly běžný akciový trh za patnáct let v průměru sedminásobně, což je dvakrát více, než společný výkon největších světových společností, jako např. Coca-Cola, Intel, General Electric a Merck. Výzkumný tým porovnával firmy, které se z dobrých staly skvělými, s pečlivě vybranou skupinou porovnávaných společností, kterým se přeměna z dobrých na skvělé nepodařila. V čem byl rozdíl? Proč se jedné skupině podařilo stát se skvělou, zatímco d ruhá skupina zůstala jenom dobrá? Výzkumný tým analyzoval historii všech osmadvaceti společností ve studii celých pět let. Po prozkoumání ohromného množství dat a tisíců stran rozhovorů objevil Jim Collins a jeho tým rozhodující faktory pro úspěšnou přeměnu dobrého ve skvělé - proč některé společnosti udělají velký skok vpřed a jiné ne. Poznatky zjištěné ve studii budou pro mnohé překvapením. Vrhají světlo na prakticky všechny oblasti manažerské strategie a praxe. Klíčové poznatky: Vůdcové 5. úrovně: Výzkumný tým šokovalo zjištění, jaký typ vůdce je potřebný k dosažení skvělosti. Ježčí koncepce (jednoduchost v rámci tří kruhů): Přeměna dobrého ve skvělé vyžaduje překročení prokletí kvalifikace. Kultura disciplíny: Spojíte-li kulturu disciplíny s etikou podnikání, získáte kouzelný recept na skvělé výsledky. Technologické akcelerátory: Firmy, které se z dobrých staly skvělými, mají na roli technologie odlišný pohled. Setrvačník a bludný kruh: Těm, kdo spouštějí programy radikálních změn a velkých restrukturalizací, se téměř s určitostí skok od dobrého ke skvělému nepodaří. Některé klíčové koncepce objevené ve studii, poznamenává Jim Collins, jsou v naprostém rozporu s naší moderní podnikatelskou kulturou a některé lidi upřímně rozčílí. Možné to je, ale kdo si může dovolit tato zjištění ignorovat?

Deset let po celosvětově úspěšném bestselleru „Jak z dobré firmy udělat skvělou“ přichází Jim Collins s dalším průkopnickým dílem, ve které si klade otázku, proč některé firmy v nejistých časech nebo dokonce v chaosu prosperují, zatímco jiné strádají? Na základě devítiletého výzkumu podpořeného důkladnou analýzou a naplněného poutavými příběhy Collins a jeho kolega Morten Hansen představují principy budování skvělé firmy v nepředvídatelném, bouřlivém a rychle se měnícím prostředí. Tato kniha je klasický Collins: polemizující, empirický a povznášející. Spolu s Hansenem přesvědčivě ukazují, že i v nejistém a chaotickém světě je dosažení úspěchu otázkou volby, nikoliv náhody.

In his own words is the candid, witty, and unvarnished story of the songs and shows, the hits and pans, the marriages and divorces, the ascents to the top of the charts and into the tabloid headlines.As one of only three musicians to sell over 100 million records both in a group and as a solo artist, Collins breathes rare air, but he has never lost his talent for crafting songs that touch listeners around the globe. This is the story of his epic career, from child actor to one of the most successful songwriters of the pop music era. A drummer since almost before he could walk, Collins received on-the-job training in the seedy, thrilling bars and clubs of 1960s swinging London before finally landing the drum seat in Genesis. Later he would step into the spotlight on vocals after the departure of Peter Gabriel, and compose the songs that would rocket him to international solo fame with the release of Face Value and In the Air Tonight . Whether he s recalling jamming with Eric Clapton and Robert Plant, pulling together a big band fronted by Tony Bennett, playing twice at Live Aid, or writing the Oscar-winning music for Disney s smash-hit animated film Tarzan, Collins keeps it intimate and his storytelling gift never wavers.

Building upon the flywheel concept introduced in his groundbreaking classic Good to Great, Jim Collins teaches readers how to create their own flywheel, how to accelerate the flywheelâ ™s momentum, and how to stay on the flywheel in shifting markets and during times of turbulence.Combining research from his Good to Great labs and case studies from organisations like Amazon, Vanguard, and the Cleveland Clinic which have turned their flywheels with outstanding results, Collins demonstrates that successful organisations can disrupt the world around them â “ and reach unprecedented success â “ by employing the flywheel concept.

The debut collection of essays from one of Britain s most celebrated photographers. For many years, photographer Michael Collins had wondered what exactly it was that he found so mysterious and compelling about photography. In this series of linked pieces, Collins offers a reappraisal of photographic genres â “ including the humble and ubiquitous â “ that he believes are worthy of greater understanding. From restoring abandoned photos, whose subjects are lost to time, to a quotidian history of the studio portrait; from tracing the origins of the photographic survey within the wider field of the history of art to an experiment in portraiture using gorillas, Collins reveals what it is about photography that is so enduringly fascinating.

A seamless tale of love, loss, betrayal and, above all, hope Alexandra Walsh AD 61Brittania is in the hands of the Romans but when the conquering army betray the dead King Prasutagus by defiling his daughters, his Queen, Boudicca, is determined to regain her land. Iceni slave Brea remembers little of the time before the Romans, and has grown used to their louche and indulgent customs. She diligently goes about her duties looking after the artless Aurelia, wife-to-be of the handsome war hero Marcellus, but her longing for freedom and her desire to find her lost father, are never far from her mind. Present DayWhen Hanna returns to Norfolk from years working abroad, the strange dreams of her adolescence return: indistinct figures in tunics, mighty soldiers in armour, gladiators, temples, an Iceni warrior woman leading her people. Gradually Hannaâ ™s dreams begin to slip into the present as visions in the famous mists rolling across the fens, and as shocks of recognition when a new face moves to her childhood home. As Hanna realises that she has a connection with a tragedy that occurred many years before, so Brea has to understand that her fate is bound up with her Roman master. And as the drumbeat of rebellion gets ever closer Brea must make the fatal choice between love and loyalty while Hanna has to find a way to make peace with the past.

The unofficial voice of modern Irish history EconomistWhen President of the Irish Republic Michael Collins signed the Anglo-Irish Treaty in December 1921, he remarked to Lord Birkenhead, I may have signed my actual death warrant. In August 1922 at the height of the Irish Civil War, that prophecy came true - Collins was shot and killed by a fellow Irishman in a shocking political assassination.So ended the life of the greatest of all Irish nationalists, but his visions and legacy lived on.This authorative and comprehensive biography presents the life of a man who became a legend in his own lifetime, whose idealistic vigour and determination were matched only by his political realism and supreme organisational abilities. Coogan s biography provides a fascinating insight into a great political leader, whilst vividly portraying the political unrest in a divided Ireland, that can help to shape our understanding of Ireland s past, present and future. There have been several other lives of Collins, but none has assembled such wealth of detail Independent on Sunday
