''This is a riveting book, with as much to say about the transformation of modern life in the information age as about its supernaturally gifted and driven subject'' - Telegraph Based on more than forty interviews with Steve Jobs conducted over two years - as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues - this is the acclaimed, internationally bestselling biography of the ultimate icon of inventiveness. Walter Isaacson tells the story of the rollercoaster life and searingly intense personality of creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies,music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing. Although Jobs cooperated with this book, he asked for no control over what was written, nor even the right to read it before it was published. He put nothing off limits. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues provide an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and the innovative products that resulted.

Kniha od Waltera Isaacsona, autora známých životopisů Benjamina Franklina a Alberta Einsteina, je exkluzivním životopisem Steva Jobse, zakladatele Applu, sepsaným s jeho pomocí a podporou. Na podkladě více než čtyřiceti rozhovorů s Jobsem provedených v průběhu dvou let - a stejně tak interview s více než stovkou členů jeho rodiny, přátel, konkurentů, soupeřů i kolegů - pojednává tato kniha o životě plném vrcholů i propastí a o pronikavě intenzivní osobnosti tvořivého podnikatele, jehož vášeň pro dokonalost a železné odhodlání zcela převrátilo šest odvětví lidské činnosti: osobní počítače, kreslené filmy, hudbu, telefony, počítačové tablety a digitální tisk. V době, kdy se společnosti po celém světě snaží vybudovat ekonomiku digitálního věku, stojí Jobs v popředí jako nejvyšší ikona v oboru vynalézání nových věcí a představivosti uvedené do praxe. Věděl, že nejlepší způsob, jak vytvořit v 21. století nějaké hodnoty, je ve spojení kreativity a technologie, takže vybudoval firmu, kde jsou převratné nápady kombinovány s pozoruhodnými technickými počiny. Ačkoli Jobs na této knize spolupracoval, nesnažil se o žádnou kontrolu toho, co už bylo napsáno, ani nechtěl mít právo přečíst si knihu předtím, než bude vydána. "Udělal jsem hodně věcí, na něž nejsem pyšný, jako když jsem dostal svou přítelkyni ve 23 letech do jiného stavu a jak jsem se s tím vypořádal," přiznal se. "Ale nemám ve skříni žádné kostlivce, kteří by nesměli ven." Jobs mluvil otevřeně, občas dokonce krutě o lidech, s nimiž pracoval či proti nimž vystupoval. A podobně si i jeho přátelé, nepřátelé a kolegové vytvořili nepřikrášlený pohled na vášně, démony, perfekcionismus, touhy, dovednost, ďábelskost a posedlost pro vedení, které tvarovaly jeho přístup k podnikání i k novátorským výrobkům, jež byly toho všeho důsledkem. Jobs doháněl lidi kolem sebe k zuřivosti a zoufalství. Ale jeho osobnost a výrobky se tak vhodně doplňovaly, stejně jako se o to snažil u hardwaru a softwaru Applu, jako by to byla součást jakéhosi integrovaného systému. Jeho příběh je proto jak poučný, tak varující, plný lekcí o novátorství, charakteru, vůdcovství a hodnotách.

Now a docuseries from Ken Burns on PBS! The #1 New York Times bestseller from Walter Isaacson brings Leonardo da Vinci to life in this exciting new biography that is “a study in creativity: how to define it, how to achieve it…Most important, it is a powerful story of an exhilarating mind and life” (The New Yorker).Based on thousands of pages from Leonardo da Vinci’s astonishing notebooks and new discoveries about his life and work, Walter Isaacson “deftly reveals an intimate Leonardo” (San Francisco Chronicle) in a narrative that connects his art to his science. He shows how Leonardo’s genius was based on skills we can improve in ourselves, such as passionate curiosity, careful observation, and an imagination so playful that it flirted with fantasy. He produced the two most famous paintings in history, The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. With a passion that sometimes became obsessive, he pursued innovative studies of anatomy, fossils, birds, the heart, flying machines, botany, geology, and weaponry. He explored the math of optics, showed how light rays strike the cornea, and produced illusions of changing perspectives in The Last Supper. His ability to stand at the crossroads of the humanities and the sciences, made iconic by his drawing of Vitruvian Man, made him history’s most creative genius. In the “luminous” (Daily Beast) Leonardo da Vinci, Isaacson describes how Leonardo’s delight at combining diverse passions remains the ultimate recipe for creativity. So, too, does his ease at being a bit of a misfit: illegitimate, gay, vegetarian, left-handed, easily distracted, and at times heretical. His life should remind us of the importance to be imaginative and, like talented rebels in any era, to think different. Here, da Vinci “comes to life in all his remarkable brilliance and oddity in Walter Isaacson’s ambitious new biography…a vigorous, insightful portrait” (The Washington Post).

NOW A MAJOR SERIES 'GENIUS' ON NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, PRODUCED BY RON HOWARD AND STARRING GEOFFREY RUSHEinstein is the great icon of our age: the kindly refugee from oppression whose wild halo of hair, twinkling eyes, engaging humanity and extraordinary brilliance made his face a symbol and his name a synonym for genius. He was a rebel and nonconformist from boyhood days. His character, creativity and imagination were related, and they drove both his life and his science. In this marvellously clear and accessible narrative, Walter Isaacson explains how his mind worked and the mysteries of the universe that he discovered. Einstein's success came from questioning conventional wisdom and marvelling at mysteries that struck others as mundane. This led him to embrace a worldview based on respect for free spirits and free individuals. All of which helped make Einstein into a rebel but with a reverence for the harmony of nature, one with just the right blend of imagination and wisdom to transform our understanding of the universe. This new biography, the first since all of Einstein's papers have become available, is the fullest picture yet of one of the key figures of the twentieth century. This is the first full biography of Albert Einstein since all of his papers have become available -- a fully realised portrait of this extraordinary human being, and great genius.Praise for EINSTEIN by Walter Isaacson:- 'YOU REALLY MUST READ THIS.' Sunday Times 'As pithy as Einstein himself.’ New Scientist ‘[A] brilliant biography, rich with newly available archival material.’ Literary Review ‘Beautifully written, it renders the physics understandable.’ Sunday Telegraph ‘Isaacson is excellent at explaining the science.

#1 New York Times non-fiction bestseller #2 Sunday Times non-fiction bestsellerSHORTLISTED FOR THE FINANCIAL TIMES BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARDCHOSEN AS A BOOK OF THE YEAR BY APPLE, AMAZON, THE TIMES AND FINANCIAL TIMESEpic feats. Epic failures. An epic story.Walter Isaacson charts Elon Musk’s journey from humble beginnings to one of the wealthiest people on the planet – but is Musk a genius or a jerk? From the author of Steve Jobs and other bestselling biographies, this is the astonishingly intimate story of Elon Musk, the most fascinating and controversial innovator of our era – a rule-breaking visionary who helped to lead the world into the era of electric vehicles, private space exploration and artificial intelligence. Oh, and took over Twitter. When Elon Musk was a kid in South Africa, he was regularly beaten by bullies.One day a group pushed him down some concrete steps and kicked him until his face was a swollen ball of flesh. He was in the hospital for a week. But the physical scars were minor compared to the emotional ones inflicted by his father, an engineer, rogue and charismatic fantasist.His father’s impact on his psyche would linger. He developed into a tough yet vulnerable man-child with an exceedingly high tolerance for risk, a craving for drama, an epic sense of mission, and a maniacal intensity that was callous and at times destructive. At the beginning of 2022 – after a year marked by SpaceX launching thirty-one rockets into orbit, Tesla selling a million cars, and him becoming the richest man on earth – Musk spoke ruefully about his compulsion to stir up dramas.‘I need to shift my mindset away from being in crisis mode, which it has been for about fourteen years now, or arguably most of my life,’ he said. It was a wistful comment, not a New Year’s resolution. Even as he said it, he was secretly buying up shares of Twitter, the world’s ultimate playground.Over the years, whenever he was in a dark place, his mind went back to being bullied on the playground. Now he had the chance to own the playground. For two years, Walter Isaacson had unprecedented access.He shadowed Musk, attended his meetings, walked his factories with him and spent hours interviewing him, his family, friends, coworkers and adversaries. The result is the revealing inside story, filled with amazing tales of triumphs and turmoil, that addresses the question: are the demons that drive Musk also what it takes to drive innovation and progress? The book includes over 100 integrated black and white images.

During his 84-year life Benjamin Franklin was America's best scientist, inventor, publisher, business strategist, diplomat, and writer. He was also one of its most practical political thinkers. America's first great publicist, he carefully crafted his own persona, portrayed it in public and polished it for posterity.In this riveting new biography Walter Isaacson provides readers with a full portrait of Franklin's public and private life - his loyal but neglected wife, his bastard son with whom he broke over going to war with England, his endless replacement families and his many amorous, but probably unconsummated, liaisons. But this is not just a biography of Benjamin Franklin but rather a fascinating look at American and European political history at that time. Isaacson examines the run up to the Revolutionary War, the intimate relations between Britain, France and the colonies and the decisive events that led to America's independence.Just as David McCullough brought life to the historic figure of John Adams, Isaacson portrays Franklin in the flesh, showing readers how this radical man helped define America's national character and personality.

He was history's most creative genius. What secrets can he teach us? Based on thousands of pages from Leonardo's astonishing notebooks and new discoveries about his life and work, Walter Isaacson weaves a narrative that connects his art to his science. He shows how Leonardo's genius was based on skills we can improve in ourselves, such as passionate curiosity, careful observation, and an imagination so playful that it flirted with fantasy.He produced the two most famous paintings in history, The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. But in his own mind, he was just as much a man of science and technology.

His ability to stand at the crossroads of the humanities and the sciences, made iconic by his drawing of Vitruvian Man, made him history's most creative genius. His creativity, like that of other great innovators, came from having wide-ranging passions. He peeled flesh off the faces of cadavers, drew the muscles that move the lips, and then painted history's most memorable smile. He explored the math of optics, showed how light rays strike the cornea, and produced illusions of changing perspectives in The Last Supper. Isaacson also describes how Leonardo's lifelong enthusiasm for staging theatrical productions informed his paintings and inventions. Leonardo's delight at combining diverse passions remains the ultimate recipe for creativity. So, too, does his ease at being a bit of a misfit: illegitimate, gay, vegetarian, left-handed, easily distracted, and at times heretical. His life should remind us of the importance of instilling, both in ourselves and our children, not just received knowledge but a willingness to question it-to be imaginative and, like talented misfits and rebels in any era, to think different.

Jeho život by nám všem měl připomínat, jak je důležité vědomosti nejen přejímat, ale také se nad nimi kriticky zamyslet.

Autor Steva Jobse a dalších úspěšných životopisů přináší nesmírně důvěrný příběh nejkontroverznějšího a nejpozoruhodnějšího inovátora současnosti, vizionáře, jenž se nezdráhá porušovat pravidla, aby dovedl svět do éry elektromobilů, soukromého vesmírného výzkumu a umělé inteligence. Jo, a taky koupil Twitter. Ve škole v Jižní Africe Elona Muska často šikanovali. Jednou jej skupinka grázlů shodila ze schodů, a pak do něj kopali tak dlouho, až měl hlavu nateklou jako balón. Strávil týden v nemocnici. Všechny fyzické jizvy však vybledly vedle těch emočních, které mu způsobil otec, násilník, inženýr a charismatický fantasta. Když se Elon po tom výprasku vrátil z nemocnice domů, otec mu vynadal. „Musel jsem tam hodinu stát a poslouchat, jak na mě řve, nadává mi do idiotů a říká, že jsem k ničemu,“ vzpomínal. Otcovo chování mělo na Muska trvalý vliv. Vyrostl v tvrdého, ale přitom křehkého muže s duší dítěte a nesmírně vysokou tolerancí rizika, zálibě v dramatu, epickým pocitem poslání a maniakální urputností, která bývá bezohledná a občas dokonce destruktivní. Dva roky Walter Isaacson Elona Muska pozorně sledoval, účastnil se jeho schůzek, procházel se s ním po továrnách, natočil hodiny a hodiny rozhovorů s ním, jeho příbuznými, přáteli, spolupracovníky i protivníky. Výsledkem je originální a informacemi nabité vyprávění plné příběhů o neskutečných úspěších a zmatcích, které se snaží odpovědět na jednu zásadní otázku: jsou démoni, kteří Muska pronásledují, zároveň i hnací silou za všemi jeho inovacemi a pokroky?

His success came from questioning conventional wisdom and marveling at mysteries that struck others as mundane. This led him to embrace a morality and politics based on respect for free minds, free spirits, and free individuals. These traits are just as vital for this new century of globalization, in which our success will depend on our creativity, as they were for the beginning of the last century, when Einstein helped usher in the modern age.

The best-selling author of Leonardo da Vinci and Steve Jobs returns. In 2012, Nobel Prize winning scientist Jennifer Doudna hit upon an invention that will transform the future of the human race: an easy-to-use tool that can edit DNA. Known as CRISPR, it opened a brave new world of medical miracles and moral questions. It has already been deployed to cure deadly diseases, fight the coronavirus pandemic of 2020, and make inheritable changes in the genes of babies. But what does that mean for humanity? Should we be hacking our own DNA to make us less susceptible to disease? Should we democratise the technology that would allow parents to enhance their kids? After discovering this CRISPR, Doudna is now wrestling these even bigger issues. THE CODE BREAKERS is an examination of how life as we know it is about to change – and a brilliant portrayal of the woman leading the way.

From the New York Times bestselling authors and loving owners of Esther the Wonder Pig, comes a memoir about their new life on the Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary, which is anything but boring. Steve Jenkins and Derek Walter, had their lives turned upside down when they adopted their pig-daughter Esther--the so-called micro pig who turned out to be a full-sized commercial pig growing to a whopping 600 pounds--as they describe in their bestselling memoir Esther the Wonder Pig. The book ends with them moving to a new farm, and starting a new wonderful life where they will live on the Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary to care for other animals and just live happily ever after... Or so they thought. People often think about giving it all up and just moving to a farm. In theory it sure does sound great. But as Derek and Steve quickly realized, the realities of being a farmer--especially when you have never lived on a farm let alone outside of the city--can be frantic, crazy, and even insane. Not only are they adjusting to farm life and dutifully taking care of their pig-daughter Esther (who by the way lives in the master bedroom of their house), but before they knew it their sanctuary grew to as many as 42 animals, including: pigs, sheep, goats, rabbits, chickens, cows, roosters, a peacock, a duck, a horse, a donkey, and a barn cat named Willma Ferrell. Written with joy and humor, and filled with delicious Esther-approved recipes dispersed throughout the book, this charming memoir captures an emotional journey of one little family advocating for animals everywhere.

Blu-ray film Walter Mitty a jeho tajný život HD [2013]. Český dabing. České titulky. Dolby Digital. Hrají: Ben Stiller. Walter Mitty musí najít ztracený negativ a vydává se na dobrodružnou cestu za fotografem Seanem O'Connellem. Walter Mitty (Ben Stiller), nesmělý a věčně snící fotoeditor časopisu Life, se ve svém jednotvárném životě jen těžko potkává s realitou, a proto raději žije ve svém vysněném světě. V něm se mění na dokonalého romantického hrdinu bojujícího za lepší, spravedlivější svět. Trestá padouchy, zachraňuje pejsky z hořících domů a ochraňuje bezbranné ženy. A také se ve svých snech stává cílem obdivných pohledů kolegyně Cheryl (Kristen Wiig), kterou bez jejího vědomí do svých snových toulek často angažuje. Ale i ve svém reálném životě se jednoho dne Walter musí rozhodnout k zásadnímu kroku do neznáma a opustit bezpečný přístav archivu plného negativů a fotografií, kde jsou jeho největším nepřítelem jen pomalu padající prach a ústrky šéfa (Adam Scott). Aby zabránil svému vyhazovu, musí najít ztracený negativ fotografie, která má být na titulní stránce časopisu. Kvůli tomu musí najít slavného fotografa Seana O'Connella (Sean Penn). To ale neznamená zavolat si taxíka a zajet o pár bloků vedle. Představuje to dobrodružnou cestu okolo světa, putování divočinou a nejzapadlejšími kouty naší planety, protože nepolapitelný fotograf-dobrodruh je hvězdou fotožurnalistiky proslulou neúnavným odhodláním hnát se za příběhem bez ohledu na to, kam až jej zavede. A tak se Walter musí vydat po jeho stopách.Bonusy: • Vynechané;prodloužené a alternativní scény • Pohled do zákulisí natáčení • Galerie: Referenční fotografie • Videoklip: José González „Stay Alive“ • Pre-Viz

Be honest: if your job didn't exist, would anybody miss it? Have you ever wondered why not? Up to 40% of us secretly believe our jobs probably aren't necessary. In other words: they are bullshit jobs. This book shows why, and what we can do about it. In the early twentieth century, people prophesied that technology would see us all working fifteen-hour weeks and driving flying cars. Instead, something curious happened. Not only have the flying cars not materialised, but average working hours have increased rather than decreased. And now, across the developed world, three-quarters of all jobs are in services, finance or admin: jobs that don't seem to contribute anything to society. In Bullshit Jobs, David Graeber explores how this phenomenon - one more associated with the Soviet Union, but which capitalism was supposed to eliminate - has happened. In doing so, he looks at how, rather than producing anything, work has become an end in itself; the way such work maintains the current broken system of finance capital; and, finally, how we can get out of it. This book is for anyone whose heart has sunk at the sight of a whiteboard, who believes 'workshops' should only be for making things, or who just suspects that there might be a better way to run our world.
