In the Long Run - Jonathan White

Democracy is future-oriented and self-correcting: today''s problems can be solved, we are told, in tomorrow''s elections. But the biggest issues facing the modern world - from climate collapse and pandemics to recession and world war - each apparently bring us to the edge of the irreversible. What happens to democracy when the future seems no longer open? In this eye-opening history of ideas, Jonathan White investigates how politics has long been directed by shifting visions of the future, from the birth of ideologies in the nineteenth century to Cold War secrecy and the excesses of the neoliberal age. As an inescapable sense of disaster defines our politics, White argues that a political commitment to the long-term may be the best way to safeguard democracy. Wide in scope and sharply observed, In the Long Run is a history of the future that urges us to make tomorrow new again.

How To Run A Great Hotel - Enda M Larkin

This book is based on the premise that being good is just not good enough in today''s competitive environment. For hotel owners and managers who want to achieve lasting business success through a root and branch review of key processes, How To Run a Great Hotel is a ''must read''. It will serve as a personal business consultant for the hotel professional, probing and testing their thinking across four critical themes which are proven to drive excellence. The content focuses less on day-to-day operations and more on big picture concerns such as strategy development, enhancing leadership skills, engaging employees and attaining customer focus, all of which are central to building a great hotel. Without clear direction in these important areas to guide activities, ongoing daily effort can be counterproductive. It''s easy for hoteliers to lose sight of their goals when, engulfed by operational demands, they are often forced to just do rather than to think about what they are doing. This book provides the reader with an opportunity to step back and take a fresh look at their hotel, no matter where it currently lies in its life cycle. The purpose of the book is to get them to question ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Born to Run - Christopher McDougall

At the heart of Born to Run lies a mysterious tribe of Mexican Indians, the Tarahumara, who live quietly in canyons and are reputed to be the best distance runners in the world; in 1993, one of them, aged 57, came first in a prestigious 100-mile race wearing a toga and sandals. A small group of the world''s top ultra-runners (and the awe-inspiring author) make the treacherous journey into the canyons to try to learn the tribe''s secrets and then take them on over a course 50 miles long.With incredible energy and smart observation, McDougall tells this story while asking what the secrets are to being an incredible runner. Travelling to labs at Harvard, Nike, and elsewhere, he comes across an incredible cast of characters, including the woman who recently broke the world record for 100 miles and for her encore ran a 2:50 marathon in a bikini, pausing to down a beer at the 20 mile mark.

Just a Little Run Around the World - Rosie Swale Pope

After her husband died of cancer, 57-year-old Rosie set off to run around the world, raising money in memory of the man she loved. Followed by wolves, knocked down by a bus, confronted by bears, chased by a naked man with a gun and stranded with severe frostbite, Rosie''s breathtaking 20,000-mile solo journey is as gripping as it is inspiring.Rosie''s solo run around the world started out of sorrow and heartache and a wish to turn something around.Heartbroken when she lost her husband to cancer, Rosie set off from Wales with nothing but a small backpack of food and equipment, and funded by the rent from her little cottage.

To Run the World - Sergey Radchenko

What would it feel like To Run the World? The Soviet rulers spent the Cold War trying desperately to find out. In this panoramic new history of the conflict that defined the postwar era, Sergey Radchenko provides an unprecedented deep dive into the psychology of the Kremlin''s decision-making. He reveals how the Soviet struggle with the United States and China reflected its irreconcilable ambitions as a self-proclaimed superpower and the leader of global revolution. This tension drove Soviet policies from Stalin''s postwar scramble for territory to Khrushchev''s reckless overseas adventurism and nuclear brinksmanship, Brezhnev''s jockeying for influence in the third world, and Gorbachev''s failed attempts to reinvent Moscow''s claims to greatness. Perennial insecurities, delusions of grandeur, and desire for recognition propelled Moscow on a headlong quest for global power, with dire consequences and painful legacies that continue to shape our world.

Buy, Run, Build - Charles Skinner

‘This book is fun to read, exciting to apply, and profitable to implement.’ John Kay, economistBuying an established company – rather than creating a start-up from scratch – is an increasingly popular path to success for many entrepreneurs. So what’s stopping you?Let’s face it – starting a business is stressful, time-consuming and often ends in failure. Buying into an existing business (known as Entrepreneurship through acquisition or ETA) is becoming a popular alternative, and it’s not surprising. An existing business already has customers, suppliers and staff; from day one, you can make a positive impact on the company and the people you are working with, rather than risking everything on a new venture.Whether you are an MBA graduate, a successful corporate manager looking to strike out on your own, or someone who would rather run a business than work for one, Buy, Run, Build is your go-to guide on how to do ETA yourself, and contains all the tools you’ll need to embark on this new chapter of your life.Buy, Run, Build is rooted in real-life business experience and Charles Skinner’s own insights as an industry specialist.

Epickým příběhem odpovídá na jednoduchou otázku: Jak to, že mě při běhání bolí nohy? Při hledání odpovědi se Christopher McDougall vydal za kmenem nejlepších dálkových běžců na světě a získal jejich tajemství.

From Cave Art to Hubble - Jonathan Powell

Since ancient times, humans have been engaged in a continual quest to find meaning in and make sense of sights and events in the night sky. Cultures spread around the world recorded their earliest efforts in artwork made directly on the natural landscapes around them, and from there they developed more and more sophisticated techniques for observing and documenting astronomy.This book brings readers on an astronomical journey through the ages, offering a history of how our species has recorded and interpreted the night sky over time. From cave art to parchment scribe to modern X-ray mapping of the sky, it chronicles the ever-quickening development of tools that informed and at times entirely toppled our understanding of the natural world.Our documentation and recording techniques formed the bedrock for increasingly complex forays into astronomy and celestial mechanics, which are addressed within these chapters. Additionally, the book explores how nature itself has recorded the skies in its own way, which can be unraveled through ongoing geological and archaeological studies. This tale of human discovery and ingenuity over the ages will appeal to anybody interested in the field of astronomy and its rich cultural history.
