Our Lives in Their Portfolios - Brett Christophers

Banks have taken a backseat since the global financial crisis over a decade ago. Today, our new financial masters are asset managers, like Blackstone and BlackRock. And they don't just own financial assets.The roads we drive on; the pipes that supply our drinking water; the farmland that provides our food; energy systems for electricity and heat; hospitals, schools, and even the homes in which many of us live-all now swell asset managers' bulging investment portfolios.As the owners of more and more of the basic building blocks of everyday life, asset managers shape the lives of each and every one of us in profound and disturbing ways. In this eye-opening follow-up to Rentier Capitalism, Brett Christophers peels back the veil on ""asset manager society.""Asset managers, he shows, are unlike traditional owners of housing and other essential infrastructure. Buying and selling these life-supporting assets at a dizzying pace, the crux of their business model is not long-term investment and careful custodianship but making quick profits for themselves and the investors that back them.In asset manager society, the natural and built environments that sustain us become one more vehicle for siphoning money from the many to the few.

Scroll Zombies: How Social Media Addiction Controls our Lives - Sven Rollenhagen - e-kniha

eBook: Almost everyone is doing it. Aimlessly scrolling through their social media feeds. From presidents to the postmen, most people you know and probably even yourself. Mindlessly, your fingers move across the screen, and content, from selfies to memes, flickers by at a blistering pace. Why is it that the screen sometimes seems more important than looking up and being present in real life? And what does it mean that more and more people are turning into so-called \"Scroll Zombies\"?Sven Rollenhagen thoughtfully discusses social media use and how it affects us both psychologically and physically. How the rise of social media has created an onslaught of mental health problems in young people. And how withdrawal can lead to symptoms, not unlike those caused by more familiar dependencies such as drugs and alcohol. But, are we really addicted? And if so, how can we be cured?Rollenhagen does not advocate for throwing away your phone or logging off Instagram forever, he acknowledges the powerful connection that social media has in connecting friends, family and strangers across the globe. Instead, this book contains practical tips and solutions for kicking dependency and finding true digital balance.

More. Numbers. Every. Day.: How Figures Are Taking Over Our Lives - And Why It´s Time to Set Ourselves Free - Micael Dahlen, Helge Thorbjørnsen

How many steps have you done today?How many emails answered?How much money have you spent this week And how many hours have you slept?Welcome to the numberdemic, where a deluge of figures, stats and data manipulate your every move. From the way you work, date and exercise to the products you buy and the news you read, numbers have worked their way into every part of our lives. But is life better this way? How are all of those numbers affecting us?With fascinating, sometimes frightening and sometimes shrewdly funny research, behavioural economists Micael Dahlen and Helge Thorbjornsen explain why we're so attached to numbers and how we can free ourselves from their tyranny. Along the way, you'll learn why viral videos, however inaccurate, become more convincing with every view; how numbers can affect the way we physically age, if we let them; why the more films you rate the less impressive you'll find them and how numbers that 'anchor' themselves in your brain can affect the size of your mortgage - plus much more.Sharp, insightful and totally engaging, MORE. NUMBERS. EVERY. DAY. is your vaccination against a world obsessed with numbers.'An entertaining and thought-provoking antidote to the tyranny of numbers in the modern world. By looking at the psychology of how we are tricked, goaded and often crushed by endless quantification, the authors present a winning case for weaning ourselves off number-dependence.'-Alex Bellos, author of Can You Solve My Problems?'Everybody should read this book. A smart and insightful read that will totally change the way you think - and live.'-Thomas Erikson, author of Surrounded By Idiots'Written in lucid, skillfully translated prose that puts the science into philosophical perspective, this shines a fascinating light on the modern-day obsession with numerical quantity over quality.' -Publishers Weekly'In 31,234 words Dahlen and Thorbjornsen cast their four critical, and at times whimsical, eyes at our numbered existences revealing that consuming too much 'pi' might be bad for our health.'-Professor Scott Page, author of The Model Thinker

Their Finest (Film Tie In) - Evans Lissa

Now a major film starring Gemma Arterton, Sam Claflin and Bill Nighy. It's 1940. In a small advertising agency in Soho, Catrin Cole writes snappy lines for Vida Elastic and So-Bee-Fee gravy browning. But the nation is in peril, all skills are transferable and there's a place in the war effort for those who have a knack with words. Catrin is conscripted into the world of propaganda films. After a short spell promoting the joy of swedes for the Ministry of Food, she finds herself writing dialogue for 'Just an Ordinary Wednesday', a heart-warming but largely fabricated 'true story' about rescue and romance on the beaches of Dunkirk. And as bombs start to fall on London, she discovers that there's just as much drama, comedy and passion behind the scenes as there is in front of the camera...originally published as Their Finest Hour and a Half.

Hold Still : A Portrait of our Nation in 2020

A unique collective portrait of the United Kingdom during the national lockdown of 2020. Introductory text by The Duchess of Cambridge. Focused on three key themes - Helpers and Heroes, Your New Normal and Acts of Kindness, this book presents a unique portrait of the UK during the 2020 lockdown, through 100 community photographs. The net proceeds from the sale of the book will be equally split to support the work of the National Portrait Gallery and Mind, the mental health charity (registered 219830) Spearheaded by The Duchess of Cambridge, Patron of the National Portrait Gallery, Hold Still was an ambitious community project to create a unique collective portrait of the UK during lockdown. People of all ages were invited to submit a photographic portrait, taken in a six-week period during May and June 2020, focussed on three core themes - Helpers and Heroes, Your New Normal and Acts of Kindness. From these, a panel of judges selected 100 portraits, assessing the images on the emotions and experiences they conveyed. Featured here in this publication, the final 100 images present a unique and highly personal record of this extraordinary period in our history of people of all ages from across the nation. From virtual birthday parties, handmade rainbows and community clapping to brave NHS staff, resilient keyworkers and people dealing with illness, isolation and loss. The images convey humour and grief, creativity and kindness, tragedy and hope - expressing and exploring both our shared and individual experiences. Presenting a true portrait of our nation in 2020, this publication includes a foreword by The Duchess of Cambridge, each image is accompanied by the story behind the picture told through the words of the entrants, and further works show the nationwide outdoor exhibition of Hold Still.

Our Malady : Lessons in Liberty from a Hospital Diary - Timothy Snyder

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller On Tyranny comes an impassioned condemnation of America's pandemic response and an urgent call to rethink health and freedom. On December 29, 2019, historian Timothy Snyder fell gravely ill. Unable to stand, barely able to think, he waited for hours in an emergency room before being correctly diagnosed and rushed into surgery. Over the next few days, as he clung to life and the first light of a new year came through his window, he found himself reflecting on the fragility of health, not recognized in America as a human right but without which all rights and freedoms have no meaning. And that was before the pandemic. We have since watched American hospitals, long understaffed and undersupplied, buckling under waves of ill patients. The federal government made matters worse through willful ignorance, misinformation, and profiteering. Our system of commercial medicine failed the ultimate test, and thousands of Americans died. In this eye-opening cri de coeur, Snyder traces the societal forces that led us here and outlines the lessons we must learn to survive. In examining some of the darkest moments of recent history and of his own life, Snyder finds glimmers of hope and principles that could lead us out of our current malaise. Only by enshrining healthcare as a human right, elevating the authority of doctors and medical knowledge, and planning for our children's future can we create an America where everyone is truly free.

Hivemind: The New Science of Tribalism in Our Divided World (1409194329)

Kniha - 304 stran, anglicky, Brožovaná bez přebalu matná - autor Sarah Rose Cavanagh, 304 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná Hivemind: A collective consciousness in which we share consensus thoughts, emotions, and opinions; a phenomenon whereby a group of people function as if with a single mind. Our views of the world are shaped by the stories told by our self-selected communities. Whether seeking out groups that share our tastes, our faith, our heritage, or other interests, since the dawn of time we have taken comfort in defining ourselves through our social groups. But what happens when we only socialize with our chosen group, to the point that we lose the ability to connect to people who don't share our passions? What happens when our tribes merely confirm our world view, rather than expand it? Leading a narrative journey from the site of the Charlottesville riots to the boardrooms of Facebook, considering such diverse topics as zombies,...

The Inner Clock: Living in Sync With Our Circadian Rhythms - Lynne Peeplesová

Your body contains a symphony of tiny timepieces, synchronised to the sun and subtle signals in your environment and behaviour. But modern insults like artificial light, contrived time zones and late-night meals can wreak havoc on your internal clocks.Armed with advances in biology and technology, a circadian renaissance is reclaiming those lost rhythms. The Inner Clock explores the emerging science and its transformative applications: How could taking a walk in the morning and going to bed at the same time each night keep your body in sync? Why are some doctors prescribing treatments at specific times of day? And how might a better understanding of our circadian rhythms improve educational outcomes, optimise sports performance, and support the longevity of our planet?Science journalist Lynne Peeples seeks out the scientists, astronauts, athletes and patients at the forefront of a growing movement.Along the way, she sleeps in a Cold War-era bunker, chases the midnight sun, spits into test tubes, and wears high-tech light sensors to decipher what makes our internal clocks tick and how we can reset them for the better.

In Our Own Image: Fictional Representations of William Shakespeare - David Livingstone - e-kniha

eBook: This publication looks at fictional portrayals of William Shakespeare with a focus on novels, short stories, plays, occasional poems, films, television series and even comics. In terms of time span, the analysis covers the entire twentieth century and ends in the present-day. The authors included range from well-known figures (G.B. Shaw, Kipling, Joyce) to more obscure writers. The depictions of Shakespeare are varied to say the least, with even interpretations giving credence to the Oxfordian theory and feminist readings involving a Shakespearian sister of sorts. The main argument is that readings of Shakespeare almost always inform us more about the particular author writing the specific work than about the historical personage.

Hádanka sfingy - Simon Brett

Tawcesterský hrad postihla další finanční krize! Tentokrát se vévodkyně vdova rozhodne vyřešit ji prodejem méně významných předmětů z rodinného majetku, které se nachází na zaprášené půdě jejich starobylého sídla. Blotto a Twinks jsou v rámci inventury pověřeni průzkumem. Kromě většího množství bezcenných krámů je nalezeno též několik staroegyptských artefaktů, které ze svých cest přivezl desátý vévoda, Rupert Egyptolog, včetně tajemného sarkofágu zdobeného hieroglyfy. Právě v okamžiku, kdy Twinks překládá hieroglyfy varující před znesvěcením sarkofágu, nadzdvihne řidič Corky Froggett víko a od té chvíle ho pronásleduje jeden podivný incident za druhým. Nad tawcesterským hradem visí kletba faraona Sinuse Nefertopa a pouze Twinks a její geniální mozek ji může zlomit.

Chrany - Peter V. Brett

Souborné vydání tří povídek, které doplňují Démonský cyklus. V povídce Brayanovo Zlato se setkáváme s Arlenem Sedlákem. Ten má jako sedmnáctiletý poselský učeň před sebou svou první výpravu spojenou s nocováním na cestě. Ocitne se v mrazivých horách, sám a s nebezpečným nákladem. K tomu ho stále pronásleduje obří skalní démon Jednoruký… Byly časy, kdy démoni ještě nebyli tak troufalí. Chrany totiž dokázaly víc než jen držet jadrnce v mezích, ale umožnily člověku bránit se, bojovat a vítězit. Arlen by rád světu tuto magii vrátil. Abban, kupec z krasijského Velkého Bazaru, zase ochotně nabídne ke koupi cokoli, po čem lidské srdce touží. Hrdinou Poselského odkazu je Trnka Damaj. Po rodinné tragédii prchá do močálů. Sám, bez ochrany, jen s vlastním důvtipem a špetkou bylinkářských znalostí. Dokáže malý chlapec vzdorovat noci plné démonů? Posel Ragen, na kterého po dvaceti letech v sedle začíná doléhat věk, je však ochoten riskovat cokoliv pro jeho záchranu.
