Kde se rozmanitost setkává s hodnotou - Katalo.cz

Jak může začínající šéf kartelu uspět (a přežít) v 300miliardovém nelegálním drogovém byznysu? Samozřejmě tak, že se učí od těch nejlepších. Lidé v čele kartelů se v otázkách, jakými jsou vytváření hodnoty značky nebo vyladění služeb zákazníkům, pozorně učili od úspěšných korporací typu Walmart, McDonald's nebo Coca-Cola. Čtenářovým neohroženým průvodcem po jednom z nejbrutálnějších světových odvětví je Tom Wainwright, který se prodírá andskými kokainovými poli, středoamerickými věznicemi, coloradskými obchody s marihuanou a internetovými drogovými doupaty darknetu. Přináší tak svěží a neotřelý pohled na obchod s drogami a jeho 250 milionů zákazníků. Mezi postavy jeho knihy patří bolívijský "Bin Ládin", vůdce salvadorského gangu "Starý Lin", milionářský výrobce pilulek z Nového Zélandu přezdívaný "Starboy" a přívětivá mexická babička, která vaří borůvkové palačinky a zároveň plánuje vraždu. Ti spolu s prezidenty, policisty a náctiletými zabijáky vysvětlují takové věci, jako je obchodní význam tetování od hlavy až k patě, jak se gangy rozhodují, zda si budou konkurovat, nebo se spolčí, a proč kartely překvapivě tolik dbají na společenskou odpovědnost firem.

Ako môže uspieť (a prežiť) nádejný šéf kartelu v biznise s nelegálnymi drogami v hodnote 300 miliárd dolárov?Samozrejme tak, že sa bude učiť od najlepších: ako zvýšiť hodnotu značky, prípadne ako vylepšovať služby zákazníkom. Ľudia prevádzkujúci kartely pozorne študujú taktiku a stratégie, ktoré využívajú korporácie, ako sú Walmart, McDonald’s či Coca-Cola. A čo môže v boji s touto pohromou urobiť vláda? Keby policajné zložky analyzovali kartely ako firmy, mohli by lepšie pochopiť, ako fungujú – a prestali by vyhadzovať 100 miliárd dolárov ročne na zbytočné úsilie o víťazstvo vo „vojne“ proti tomuto globálnemu a veľmi vysoko organizovanému biznisu.

eBook: ‘Pen, Pencil, and Poison’ is one of Wilde’s most intriguing essays. Part biography, part social commentary, and part philosophical debate, he writes the biography of an art critic, who was also convicted of murder. However, in true Wildean style, there’s more to the essay than meets the eye. While documenting the life and crimes of Thomas Griffiths Wainwright, Wilde explores the ideas of dual identity, sin in the formation of the personality, and the relationship between crime and culture. ‘Pen, Pencil, and Poison’ is a fascinating insight into some of the conventions of the time.

Shortlisted for the 2024 Wainwright Prize for Writing on Conservation‘Sophie writes fantastically, chronicling the most important issues facing nature conservationists today.’ Chris PackhamFor thousands of years, humans have been the architects of the natural world. Our activities have permanently altered the environment – for good and for bad.In Nature’s Ghosts, award-winning journalist Sophie Yeo examines how the planet would have looked before humans scrubbed away its diversity: from landscapes carved out by megafauna to the primeval forests that emerged following the last Ice Age, and from the eagle-haunted skies of the Dark Ages to the flower-decked farms of more recent centuries.Uncovering the stories of the people who have helped to shape the landscape, she seeks out their footprints even where it seems there are none to be found. And she explores the timeworn knowledge that can help to fix our broken relationship with the earth.Along the way, Sophie encounters the environmental detectives – archaeological, cultural and ecological – reconstructing, in stunning detail, the landscapes we have lost.Today, the natural world is more vulnerable than ever; the footprints of humanity heavier than they have ever been.

''I found myself turning the pages with an inward leap of joy'' - Isabella Tree*WINNER of the Richard Jefferies Award for Nature Writing**Shortlisted for the James Cropper Wainwright Prize for Conservation*''Exquisite'' GUARDIANIt was a tragic day for the nation''s wildlife when England''s last and loneliest golden eagle died in an unmarked spot among the remote eastern fells of the Lake District. But the fight to restore the landscape had already begun.Lee Schofield, ecologist and site manager for RSPB Haweswater, is leading efforts to breathe life back into two hill farms and their thirty square kilometres of sprawling upland habitat.Informed by the land, its turbulent history and the people who have shaped it, Lee and his team are repairing damaged wetlands, meadows and woods. Each year, the landscape is becoming richer, wilder and better able to withstand the shocks of a changing climate.But in the contested landscape of the Lake District, change is not always welcomed, and success relies on finding a balance between rewilding and respecting cherished farming traditions. This is not only a story of an ecosystem in recovery, it is also the story of Lee''s personal connection to place, and the highs and lows of working for nature amid fierce opposition.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR NATURE WRITING''An honest look at the farming life today. Raw, earthy and inspiring'' - Cal Flyn, author of Islands of Abandonment''A beautifully written, incredibly timely book'' - Clover Stroud, author of My Wild and Sleepless NightsWhen barrister and author Sarah Langford left her city life behind she found herself unexpectedly back in the world of farming. It was not how she remembered. Instead, she saw farmers dealing with very different problems to those faced by her grandfather, considered a hero for having fed a starving nation after war. Now farmers faced accusations of ecological mismanagement by a hostile urban media whilst battling extreme weather and political upheaval. Yet as Sarah learned how to farm and grew closer to the land, she discovered a new generation on a path of regenerative change.In Rooted, Sarah weaves her own story around those who taught her what it means to be a farmer. She shines a light on the human side of modern farming, and shows how land connects us all, not only in terms of global sustainability but in our relationships with our physical and mental health, our communities and our planet.''Moving, startling, uplifting, galvanising and unsettling, this plainly beautiful book is one of those rare few that changes how you see the world around you'' - Ella Risbridger, author of The Year of Miracles''Heartbreaking and hopeful, this story of a farming revival has never been more important'' - Esther Freud

The Sunday Times bestseller *Shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize*A New Statesman and Spectator Book of the Year''This book calls for nothing less than a revolution in the future of food'' Kate RaworthFrom the bestselling author of Feral, a breathtaking first glimpse of a new future for food and for humanityFarming is the world''s greatest cause of environmental destruction - and the one we are least prepared to talk about. We criticise urban sprawl, but farming sprawls across thirty times as much land. We have ploughed, fenced and grazed great tracts of the planet, felling forests, killing wildlife, and poisoning rivers and oceans to feed ourselves. Yet millions still go hungry.Now the food system itself is beginning to falter. But, as George Monbiot shows us in this brilliant, bracingly original new book, we can resolve the biggest of our dilemmas and feed the world without devouring the planet.Regenesis is a breathtaking vision of a new future for food and for humanity. Drawing on astonishing advances in soil ecology, Monbiot reveals how our changing understanding of the world beneath our feet could allow us to grow more food with less farming. He meets the people who are unlocking these methods, from the fruit and vegetable grower revolutionising our understanding of fertility; through breeders of perennial grains, liberating the land from ploughs and poisons; to the scientists pioneering new ways to grow protein and fat. Together, they show how the tiniest life forms could help us make peace with the planet, restore its living systems, and replace the age of extinction with an age of regenesis.

THE SUNDAY TIMES NATURE BOOK OF THE YEARThe new bestseller from the author of The Shepherd''s Life''A beautifully written story of a family, a home and a changing landscape'' Nigel Slater As a boy, James Rebanks''s grandfather taught him to work the land the old way. Their family farm in the Lake District hills was part of an ancient agricultural landscape: a patchwork of crops and meadows, of pastures grazed with livestock, and hedgerows teeming with wildlife. And yet, by the time James inherited the farm, it was barely recognisable. The men and women had vanished from the fields; the old stone barns had crumbled; the skies had emptied of birds and their wind-blown song. English Pastoral is the story of an inheritance: one that affects us all. It tells of how rural landscapes around the world were brought close to collapse, and the age-old rhythms of work, weather, community and wild things were lost. And yet this elegy from the northern fells is also a song of hope: of how, guided by the past, one farmer began to salvage a tiny corner of England that was now his, doing his best to restore the life that had vanished and to leave a legacy for the future. This is a book about what it means to have love and pride in a place, and how, against all the odds, it may still be possible to build a new pastoral: not a utopia, but somewhere decent for us all.''A heartfelt book and one that dares to hope'' Alan Bennett''A wonder of a book, fierce, tender, and beautiful'' Helen MacdonaldWinner of the Wainwright PrizeWinner of the Fortnum & Mason Food Book of the YearShortlisted for the Orwell PrizeShortlisted for the Ondaatje Prize Longlisted for the Rathbones Folio Prize

Shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize, the Zócalo Book Prize and the Christopher Moore Prize For Human Rights Writing 'Gaia Vince's new book should be read not just by every politician, but by every person on the planet' ObserverAn urgent investigation of the most underreported, seismic consequence of climate change: how it will force us to change where - and how - we liveWe are facing a species emergency. With every degree of temperature rise, a billion people will be displaced from the zone in which humans have lived for thousands of years. While we must do everything we can to mitigate the impact of climate change, the brutal truth is that huge swathes of the world are becoming uninhabitable. From Bangladesh to Sudan to the western United States, and in cities from Cardiff to New Orleans to Shanghai, the quadruple threat of drought, heat, wildfires and flooding will utterly reshape Earth's human geography in the coming decades.In this rousing call to arms, Royal Society Science Book Prize-winning author Gaia Vince describes how we can plan for and manage this unavoidable climate migration while we restore the planet to a fully habitable state. The vital message of this book is that migration is not the problem - it's the solution. Drawing on a wealth of eye-opening data and original reporting, Vince shows how migration brings benefits not only to migrants themselves, but to host countries, many of which face demographic crises and labour shortages. As Vince describes, we will need to move northwards as a species, into the habitable fringes of Europe, Asia and Canada and the greening Arctic circle.While the climate catastrophe is finally getting the attention it deserves, the inevitability of mass migration has been largely ignored. In Nomad Century, Vince provides, for the first time, an examination of the most pressing question facing humanity.

On each page you discover an enticing new vista'' Mail on Sunday--- Hundreds of thousands of miles of paths reach into – and connect – communities across England and Wales. More than just a practical way for us to walk, ride and cycle, they are an inheritance from our past, revealing how our ancestors interacted with and shaped their surroundings.

But thousands of miles are still missing from our maps, and they will be lost forever unless they are urgently reclaimed. Fighting for these paths’ survival through his work with the Ramblers Association, Jack Cornish has spent years walking and recording these forgotten routes – those that have been lost, those that have been saved and those which remain hidden in plain sight. The Lost Paths is a history of the people who have used, and in some cases created, these walkways:The drovers who herded their sheep and cattle to marketThe wanderers who travelled between workhouses, seeking shelter and subsistenceThe miners who ventured deep underground along the Cornish coastThe wartime heroes who built up Britain’s defensive infrastructure This incredible ‘ordinary’ history of the land beneath our feet reminds us just how precious these paths are, and have been, to the human story of this island.
