Next Day - Melinda Gates

In a rare window into some of her life’s pivotal moments, Melinda French Gates draws from previously untold stories to offer a new perspective on encountering transitions. “You don’t get to be my age without navigating all kinds of transitions. Some you embraced and some you never expected.Some you hoped for and some you fought as hard as you could.”– Melinda French GatesTransitions are moments in which we step out of our familiar surroundings and into a new landscape-a space that, for many people, is shadowed by confusion, fear, and indecision. The Next Day accompanies readers as they cross that space, offering guidance on how to make the most of the time between an ending and a new beginning and how to move forward into the next day when the ground beneath you is shifting. In this book, Melinda will reflect, for the first time in print, on some of the most significant transitions in her own life, including becoming a parent, the death of a dear friend, and her departure from the Gates Foundation.The stories she tells illuminate universal lessons about loosening the bonds of perfectionism, helping friends navigate times of crisis, embracing uncertainty, and more. Each one of us, no matter who we are or where we are in life, is headed toward transitions of our own. With her signature warmth and grace, Melinda candidly shares stories of times when she was in need of wisdom and shines a path through the open space stretching out before us all.

Seven Letters to Melin - Josef Šafařík

Josef Safarik's Seven Letters to Melin is an exploration of man's alienation from nature--and from himself--in the modern technological age. Conceived as a series of letters to Melin, an engineer who believes in the value of science and technical progress, the book grows skeptical of such endeavors, while also examining mankind's search for meaning in life. To help uncover this meaning, Safarik posits a dichotomy between spectator and participant. The role of participant is played by Robert, an artist who has committed suicide. The spectator, embodied by the scientist Melin, views the world from a distance and searches for explanations, while the artist-participant creates the world through his own active engagement. Through these exchanges, Safarik argues for the primacy of artistic creativity over scientific explanation, of truth over accuracy, of internal moral agency over an externally imposed social morality, and of personal religious belief over organized church-going. Safarik is neither anti-scientific nor anti-rational; however, he argues that science has limited power, and he rejects the idea of science that denies meaning and value to what cannot be measured or calculated.Safarik's critiques of technology, the wage economy, and increased professionalization make him an important precursor to the philosophy of deep ecology. This book was also a major influence on the Czech president Vaclav Havel; in this new translation it will find a fresh cohort of readers interested in what makes us human.

Day Trading Attention - Gary Vaynerchuk

New York Times and USA Today Bestseller“One thing I''ve learned being around Gary for the last decade is that when he sees new consumer trends or new best practices in marketing, people should listen and act on them.” — Michael Rubin, CEO of Fanatics In his seventh business book, bestselling author, entrepreneur, and investor Gary Vaynerchuk offers fresh, in-depth advice to enhance brand development, grow sales, and beat the competition using modern advertising strategies grounded in social media.In his 2013 bestseller Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook, Gary Vaynerchuk showed the world how to create winning content for underpriced attention channels. But since then, new platforms have emerged, others have become less relevant, and algorithms are incentivizing new styles of content. New skills are necessary to create advertising that builds brand and sales.In his latest book, Vaynerchuk argues that today’s fast-growing businesses, brands, content creators, and influencers have one thing in common: They mastered storytelling in areas of underpriced attention, which predominantly exists across a handful of social media platforms. Informed by 20+ years of business and marketing success, he contends that the biggest transformation and opportunity is the “TikTokification of Social Media.” Increasingly, platforms are distributing content based on what users are interested in, rather than who they follow. In Day Trading Attention, Gary offers detailed advice on how small businesses, large corporations, and creators can:Understand attention—what it is, where it is, where it’s underpriced, and how to leverage itProduce relevant, strategic content Use modern advertising platforms to build brand and grow sales in today’s rapidly changing environment

Alphabet for Dreamers, An - Melinda Josie, Sharon Sliwinski

A captivating and trailblazing look at how dreams serve as one of our most powerful ways to understand—and radically change—our world.Borrowing from the traditional alphabet book genre for children, An Alphabet for Dreamers provides adult readers with a new grammar for dreams, or what neuroscientist Sidarta Riberio calls “oracles of the night.” In this book, Sharon Sliwinski restores dreaming to its proper place as an important worldmaking activity, one that offers a gateway to another way of seeing. Each of the short 26 chapters engages a dream from the historical record—from both the recent and distant past—to show how these experiences can help make sense of profound social conflicts and transform our shared reality.Thinking alongside the dreams of powerful exemplars—from Harriet Tubman to contemporary Indigenous activist Abigail Echo-Hawk—readers come to understand how dream life is a crucial resource for generating new worlds and new ways of being. The book brings together urgent concerns from the domains of critical theory, visual culture, and mental health to show how dreaming serves as a vital source of knowledge and a crucial mode of thinking. As with traditional alphabet books, illustrations provide an integral voice. Each chapter of the book is accompanied by an original watercolor painting by Melinda Josie that visually underscores the way dreams serve as a unique medium for processing our lived experience. Together, the images and text form a delicate dialogue, drawing attention to the details of the central scenes, extending the book’s special mode of thinking in painted form.By working alongside dreamers from the past and present, An Alphabet for Dreamers begins a new and much-needed conversation about the social and political importance of dream life.

Finite and Infinite Games - James Carse

“There are at least two kinds of games,” states James P. Carse as he begins this extraordinary book. “One could be called finite; the other infinite. A finite game is played for the purpose of winning, an infinite game for the purpose of continuing the play.”Finite games are the familiar contests of everyday life; they are played in order to be won, which is when they end. But infinite games are more mysterious. Their object is not winning, but ensuring the continuation of play. The rules may change, the boundaries may change, even the participants may change—as long as the game is never allowed to come to an end. What are infinite games? How do they affect the ways we play our finite games? What are we doing when we play—finitely or infinitely? And how can infinite games affect the ways in which we live our lives? Carse explores these questions with stunning elegance, teasing out of his distinctions a universe of observation and insight, noting where and why and how we play, finitely and infinitely. He surveys our world—from the finite games of the playing field and playing board to the infinite games found in culture and religion—leaving all we think we know illuminated and transformed. Along the way, Carse finds new ways of understanding everything, from how an actress portrays a role to how we engage in sex, from the nature of evil to the nature of science. Finite games, he shows, may offer wealth and status, power and glory, but infinite games offer something far more subtle and far grander. Carse has written a book rich in insight and aphorism. Already an international literary event, Finite and Infinite Games is certain to be argued about and celebrated for years to come. Reading it is the first step in learning to play the infinite game.

Jak zabránit klimatické katastrofě - Bill Gates - audiokniha

Audiokniha: „Gates předkládá vůbec nejsrozumitelnější vysvětlení toho, co je příčinou oteplování naší planety, jak měřit vliv myriády lidských činností na tento ohromující a zdánlivě nevypočitatelný problém, a konečně jak se s tím efektivně vypořádat. Je to nejužitečnější návod na řešení klimatické krize, který jsem kdy viděl.“ — Fortune O knize Nemusíte být klimatologové, abyste měli povědomí o oteplování planety a souvisejících jevech: o obdobích extrémních veder, bouří, stoupání hladiny moří, povodních, následných hladomorech a migračních vlnách. Bill Gates nás však vyzývá, že není na místě propadat strachu a bezmoci, ale naopak nahlížet na současný stav jako na příležitost postavit se pragmaticky výzvě a projít jako lidstvo další energetickou a technologickou revolucí. V knize vás seznámí s plánem snížit do roku 2050 emise skleníkových plynů ze současných 51 miliard tun ročně na nulu. Jde o velkolepý plán, ale nereálný. Gates jasně vysvětluje všechny zásadní aspekty problematiky – jednotlivé zdroje emisí, možné alternativy, technologie, které již existují, i slibné inovace, jež jsou teprve na obzoru. Nečekejte přitom výčitky ani zmar. I díky dlouholeté spolupráci s předními vědci, odborníky a politiky neztrácí Gates naději a přesvědčení, že společným úsilím klimatické katastrofě zabráníme. Mimo jiné se dozvíte: - Jaký je podíl jednotlivých odvětví lidské činnosti na emisích skleníkových plynů a že dopravě překvapivě náleží až čtvrtá příčka. - Proč musíme při vyčíslení skutečné efektivity zdrojů energie počítat s tzv. zelenými příplatky. - O vývoji báječných nových technologií včetně přímého zachytávání uhlíku ze vzduchu (DAC) nebo bezemisní výrobě cementu a plastů. - Jaké průlomy potřebujeme pro výrobu, transport a skladování elektřiny. - O krizových scénářích pro případ náhlého uvolnění metanu ze dna moří. - Jakou roli hrají v proměně klimatu krávy a mangrovové porosty. - Co přesně může pro svět udělat každý z nás a co naši volení zastupitelé a vlády. „Pokud se nevzdáme velkého cíle – dostat se na nulu – dokážeme katastrofu odvrátit. Můžeme zachovat únosné klima pro každého, pomoci stovkám milionů lidí žít hodnotný život a zachránit planetu pro příští generace.“ — Bill Gates Napsali o knize „Z přehledného vysvětlení vědeckých aspektů změny klimatu je patrná Gatesova odbornost. Řešení, která nastiňuje, jsou pragmatická a spočívají na prozíravém ekonomickém uvažování. Přestože se nevybývá tvrdým pravdám, kterým musíme při změnách klimatu čelit, zůstává Gates optimistou a věří, že máme možnost vyhnout se úplné klimatické katastrofě.“ — Science „Bill Gates má plán, jak zachránit svět. Přestože uznává, že jde o náročný úkol a že bude třeba zásadně změnit způsob výroby, pěstování, dopravy, klimatizace i vytápění, tvrdí, že je možné provést rozsáhlou transformaci a zároveň zachovat životní styl v zemích s vysokými příjmy a pokračovat v odstraňování chudoby miliard lidí.“ — Wired „Spojení chladného realismu s čísly podloženým optimismem je v knize o nejvážnějším problému lidstva tak osvěžující! Bill Gates důrazně připomíná, že pokud se skutečně chceme pustit do řešení krize, musíme maximálně využít jediný přírodní zdroj, jenž máme k dispozici v neomezeném množství – génia lidského ducha.“ — The Economist O autorovi Bill Gates (* 1955) je technolog, byznysový lídr a filantrop. V roce 1975 se svým kamarádem z dětství Paulem Allenem založil společnost Microsoft. Zároveň je spoluzakladatelem a předsedou Nadace Billa a Melindy Gatesových. Jeho projekt Breaktrough Energy se věnuje zavádění čisté energie a používání technologií, které neovlivňují změnu klimatu. Je otcem tří dětí.

The Beauty of Games - Frank Lantz

How games create beauty and meaning, and how we can use them to explore the aesthetics of thought.Are games art? This question is a dominant mode of thinking about games and play in the twenty-first century, but it is fundamentally the wrong question. Instead, Frank Lantz proposes in his provocative new book, The Beauty of Games, that we think about games and how they create meaning through the lens of the aesthetic. We should think of games, he writes, the same way we think of literature, theater, or music—as a form that ranges from deep and profound to easy and disposable, and everything in between. Games are the aesthetic form of interactive systems, a set of possibilities connected by rules of cause and effect. In this book, Lantz analyzes games from chess to poker to tennis to understand how games create beauty and evoke a deeper meaning. He suggests that we think of games not only as hyper-modern objects but also as forms within the ancient context of artistic production, encompassing all of the nebulous and ephemeral qualities of the aesthetic experience.

Bill Gates - Tim Schwab - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Důkladná investigace Nadace Billa a Melindy Gatesových, která odhaluje, jak Bill Gates využívá filantropii k uplatňování politické moci bez odpovědnosti. Bill Gates se díky svým filantropickým aktivitám proměnil z technologického padoucha v jednoho z nejobdivovanějších lidí na světě. I když nedávné rozvodové řízení a četná obvinění z nevhodného chování poskvrnily jeho veřejný obraz, jen málokdo zpochybňuje dobročinnost jeho nadace, bezmezně obdivované za to, jak vynakládá miliardy dolarů na zachraňování životů chudých obyvatel naší planety. Jak ale Tim Schwab ve své odvážné investigaci ukazuje, Gates je stále tím, čím býval: monopolistou přesvědčeným o své neomylnosti a odhodlaným vnucovat všem ostatním své představy, svá řešení a své vůdcovství. Žádný nezištný filantrop, nýbrž obchodník s mocí, chytrý inovátor, jenž dokázal proměnit extrémní bohatství v obrovský politický vliv a přesvědčit mnoho lidí k tomu, aby jeho činy velebili, nikoli zpochybňovali. Audiokniha Tima Schwaba nabourává oslnivou aureolu, která až příliš dlouho chránila nejmocnější charitativní organizaci světa před dohledem veřejnosti, a ukazuje, jak si Bill Gates za své miliardy koupil ohromující kontrolu nad veřejnou politikou, soukromými trhy, vědeckým výzkumem a zpravodajskými médii. Tim Schwab je investigativní novinář sídlící ve Washingtonu, DC. Za své průlomové reportáže o Nadaci Billa a Melindy Gatesových pro časopisy Nation, Columbia Journalism Review a British Medical Journal získal ocenění Izzy Award a Deadline Club Award. Bill Gates.

Mezi mlýnskými kameny: Gaza a její příběh - Jakub Szántó - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Zasvěcená fakta a lidské příběhyBývalý zahraniční zpravodaj České televize na Blízkém východě srozumitelně popisuje složitou a bolestnou historii Gazy. Odpovídá i na otázku, proč mezi jejími obyvateli a Židy panuje tak silná nenávist.Označení „pásmo Gazy“ slyšel každý. Málokdo ale ví, co přesně to znamená. Jak Gaza vznikla, kdo jsou její obyvatelé a proč mezi nimi a Židy panuje taková nenávist? Chcete-li znát odpovědi na tyto otázky, má je pro vás Jakub Szántó připraveny. Zpravodaj České televize navštěvoval Gazu více než deset let, může proto zasvěceně, ale především srozumitelně popsal složitou a bolestnou historii Gazy. „Odolnost a vzdor má Gaza v kulturní a historické DNA. Prošla tudy stará i nová impéria. Ničily ji války, hladomory, zemětřesení i mor. Vždy ale vstala z popela,“ píše s empatií i s přesahem do současnosti. Faktografické kapitoly střídají ty, v nichž nás seznamuje s konkrétními obyvateli Gazy, jejich životy, zálibami i oblíbenými jídly (a to tak barvitě, jako byste s nimi stolovali).

The Revenge of Gaia - James Lovelock

James Lovelock''s bestselling The Revenge of Gaia: Why the Earth is Fighting Back - and How we can Still Save Humanity is a dire warning against the unchecked growth of civilization. ''Despite all our efforts to retreat sustainably, we may be unable to prevent a global decline into a chaotic world ruled by brutal warlords on a devastated Earth...'' For thousands of years, humans have exploited the planet without counting the cost. Now Gaia, the living Earth, is fighting back. As the polar icecaps shrink and the global temperature rises, we approach the point of no return. Sustainable development, Lovelock argues, is no longer possible, and the only open to us may be a ''sustainable retreat''. This is the one book you must read to find out what is happening, how bad it will get - and how we can survive. ''The most important book for decades'' Andrew Marr ''The most important book ever to be published on the environmental crisis ... Lovelock will go down in history as the scientist who changed our view of the Earth'' John Gray, Independent ''Truly terrifying ... Lovelock''s arguments carry more conviction than anyone else''s now writing'' Peter Forbes, Daily Mail James Lovelock is the author of more than 200 scientific papers and the originator of the Gaia Hypothesis (now Gaia Theory).

On the Pleasures of Living in Gaza - Mohammed Omer Almoghayer

Beyond the headlines of destruction and despair, discover the untold story of Gaza''s humanity—its joys, resilience, and vibrant community spirit, as captured by a native son. Israel’s brutal assault on Gaza has plunged more than two million Palestinians into a ceaseless cycle of violence and deprivation. Despite the outrage that Israel’s aggression has fanned, two opposing tropes about those who inhabit the Strip endure. For the minority backing Israel’s actions, the Palestinians of Gaza are often seen as little more than terrorists. For many on the other side, they are perpetual victims, powerless and tragic. Each characterization dehumanizes Gaza’s people. In this book, Mohammed Omer Almoghayer, born and raised in southern Gaza, presents a necessary corrective: What the news reports have rarely shown are the ways in which, prior to Israel’s onslaught, the people of Gaza rose above their hardship to enjoy the simple pleasures of human existence. While in no way diminishing the horrors hurled at the Strip since October 7, or the prior suffering of those forced to live in what was effectively an open prison, Omer Almoghayer here tells that story. On the Pleasures of Living in Gaza takes the reader on a tour of a most misunderstood and hidden territory, allowing us to discover the community spirit, the enduring family ties, the festivals and pastimes, and the creativity and resourcefulness of people, who, in lives now tragically lost, refused to surrender to hopelessness, snatching moments of joy in the most difficult of circumstances. More than ever, it is vital that we recognize the humanity of people referred to by Israel’s defense minister as “animals,” and by news organizations around the world by bald numbers of nameless dead. With the sensitivity and insight available to a native Gazan, Mohammed Omer’s magnificent book parts the smoke and dust to show us the richness of a way of life Israel has now destroyed.
