We Have No Idea - Jorge Cham, Daniel Whiteson

In our small corner of the universe, we know how some matter behaves most of the time and what even less of it looks like, and we have some good guesses about where it all came from. But we really have no clue what s going on. In fact, we don t know what about 95% of the universe is made of. So what happens when a cartoonist and a physicist walk into this strange, mostly unknown universe? Jorge Cham and Daniel Whiteson gleefully explore the biggest unknowns, why these things are still mysteries, and what a lot of smart people are doing to figure out the answers (or at least ask the right questions). While they re at it, they helpfully demystify many complicated things we do know about, from quarks and neutrinos to gravitational waves and exploding black holes. With equal doses of humour and delight, they invite us to see the universe as a vast expanse of mostly uncharted territory that s still ours to explore. This is a book for fans of Brian Cox and What If. This highly entertaining highly illustrated book is perfect for anyone who s curious about all the great mysteries physicists are going to solve next.

O čem víme prd - Jorge Cham, Daniel Whiteson

Proč má vesmír maximální povolenou rychlost? Co (nebo kdo) útočí na zemi malinkatými superrychlými částicemi? Co je temná hmota a proč si nás nevšímá? Lidské porozumění fyzickému světu má značné mezery. A to je ještě kulantně řečeno, protože ve skutečnosti naše základní představy o fungování světa obsahují obří zející díry. Autor PhD Comicsu Jorge Cham spojil síly s částicovým fyzikem Danielem Whitesonem, aby zmapovali všechno, co o našem vesmíru ještě nevíme. Pomocí osobitých infografik, ilustrací a zábavných názorných vysvětlení přinášejí nejlepší dostupné odpovědi na otázky, které vědce nepřestávají trápit ani dnes. Tento bohatě ilustrovaný úvod do největších záhad ze světa fyziky zároveň objasňuje i různé zapeklitosti, o kterých už toho víme celkem dost, od kvarků přes gravitační vlny až po vybuchující černé díry. Cham a Whiteson vyváženým dávkováním humoru a informací ukazují, že vesmír je velké neprobádané území, které stále čeká na své objevitele. Tato chytrá kniha odhaluje, jak málo toho o vesmíru ve skutečnosti víme, a doplňuje to nápaditými vysvětleními toho, co už se nám podařilo zjistit. Carlo Rovelli, autor knihy Sedm krátkých přednášek o fyzice

Houston, We Have a Narrative - Randy Olson

Ask a scientist about Hollywood, and you ll probably get eye rolls. But ask someone in Hollywood about science, and they ll see dollar signs: moviemakers know that science can be the source of great stories, with all the drama and action that blockbusters require. That s a huge mistake, says Randy Olson: Hollywood has a lot to teach scientists about how to tell a story-and, ultimately, how to do science better. With Houston, We Have a Narrative, he lays out a stunningly simple method for turning the dull into the dramatic. Drawing on his unique background, which saw him leave his job as a working scientist to launch a career as a filmmaker, Olson first diagnoses the problem: When scientists tell us about their work, they pile one moment and one detail atop another moment and another detail-a stultifying procession of and, and, and. What we need instead is an understanding of the basic elements of story, the narrative structures that our brains are all but hardwired to look for-which Olson boils down, brilliantly, to And, But, Therefore, or ABT. At a stroke, the ABT approach introduces momentum ( And ), conflict ( But ), and resolution ( Therefore )-the fundamental building blocks of story. As Olson has shown by leading countless workshops worldwide, when scientists eyes are opened to ABT, the effect is staggering: suddenly, they re not just talking about their work-they re telling stories about it. And audiences are captivated. Written with an uncommon verve and enthusiasm, and built on principles that are applicable to fields far beyond science, Houston, We Have a Narrative has the power to transform the way science is understood and appreciated, and ultimately how it s done.

BD-R DL 50GB 2x Thermal Printable 25 Pack Spindle - No ID Brand Nástup technologie Blu-ray vedl k představení disků s velkou kapacitou ukládání, které splňují požadavky kladené rychlým rozvojem televizního vysílání s vysokým rozlišením (HDTV). Název disků Blu-ray je odvozen od technologie modrého laserového paprsku. Kratší vlnová délka paprsku způsobuje jeho modré zabarvení. Modrý laser má vlnovou délku 405 nm, zatímco červené lasery, používané s disky DVD, mají vlnovou délku 650 nm. Výhodou modrého laseru s kratší vlnovou délkou je, že lze zapisovat menší datové otvory, a tím zvyšovat množství dat na disku. Disky Blu-ray nabízí 3krát až 5krát větší úložnou kapacitu než standardní zapisovatelné disky DVD, čímž povolují záznam, přepis a přehrávání videozáznamů ve vysokém rozlišení (HD).

And she speaks of three musicians - the shy and brilliant composer Sparrow, the violin prodigy Zhuli, and the enigmatic pianist Kai - who struggled during China s relentless Cultural Revolution to remain loyal to one another and to the music they have devoted their lives to. Their fates reverberate through the years, with deep and lasting consequences for Ai-Ming - and for Marie.Do Not Say We Have Nothing magnificently brings to life one of the most significant political regimes of the 20th century and its traumatic legacy.

Nová idea soukromého pracovního práva (978-80-7400-915-0)

Kniha - autor Michal Blažek, 220 stran, česky Jakou novou hmotněprávní argumentaci lze v praxi využít při řešení pracovněprávních sporů? Jaké procesní nástroje napomáhající zaměstnancům lze u soudu využít? Jaké jsou největší problémy pracovního práva a jak je vyřešit? Co je to idea posílené realizace subjektivních práv zaměstnanců? Na takové i jiné otázky se zaměřila tato publikace určená jak právním praktikům a teoretikům, tak i širší veřejnosti (včetně studentů právnických fakult), se zájmem o hlubší poznání nejen pracovního práva. Tato monografie upozorňuje, že i přes existenci rozsáhlé pracovněprávní regulace sledující zejména ochranu zaměstnanců v základních pracovněprávních vztazích nejsou hmotněprávní normy z oblasti pracovního práva vždy dodržovány, v důsledku čehož ochrana zaměstnanců zůstává pouze v textech právních předpisů. Věnuje se dosud právní vědou nezpracovanému tématu, kterým je otázka vymahatelnosti (realizace) práv zaměstnanců. Vysvětluje,...

How We Change - Ross Ellenhorn

The Coronavirus pandemic has revealed a very big secret we’ve been keeping from ourselves and each other: We can be remarkably agile in the face of change. How is it that we are able to so radically and rapidly change our daily behavior in order to follow the social distancing and stay-at-home policies during the pandemic, and yet--pandemic or not--we typically find it difficult, if not impossible, to reach smaller personal goals like dieting, getting organized or changing destructive habits? The pandemic is life-threatening, so it ignites our survival instincts, activating that part of our brains charged with speedily and efficiently getting us to safety. But cholesterol, alcohol, and physical passivity are all life-threatening, and many of us humans have done a lousy job changing in regard to these issues, even when we have reliable information that they are killing us. Why do we struggle to change what would so obviously help ourselves individually? Ross Ellenhorn’s book, How we Change (and the Ten Reasons Why We Don’t) gives a fascinating answer. A clinician and thought leader in the mental health and addiction fields, he suggests that we’re often looking in the wrong direction when we try to decipher the factors that support human change. He suggests that it’s much more fruitful to look at why we don’t change, than figure out why we do. By looking at the reasons we don’t change, we give ourselves the best chance of actually changing in meaningful ways. Ellenhorn explains how we are wired to double down on the familiar because of what he calls the Fear of Hope - the act of protecting ourselves from further disappointment—and identifies the “10 Reasons Not to Change” to help us see why we behave the way we do when we are faced with the challenge of hope. Among them are: · To change means raising your expectations and thus risking that you’ll disappoint yourself.· Once you change, you are more accountable to make other changes than if you stayed the same· When you change, your future become much less predictable.· Change means destroying psychological monuments you’ve built to commemorate past injuries· Every time you change, you raise the possibility of losing or disrupting your relationship with certain peopleBy addressing this little known reality of fear of hope, and how it influences the 10 Reasons Not to Change, Ellenhorn actually gives us hope, helping us to work toward the change we seek. Ellenhorn speaks to the core of our insecurities and fears about ourselves, with a humor and kindness. By turning our judgments about self-destructive behaviors into curious questions about them, he teaches us to think about our actions to discover what we truly want - even if we’re going about getting it in the wrong way. How We Change is a brilliant approach that will forever alter our perspective - and help us achieve the transformation we truly seek.

How Good It Is I have No Fear of Dying - Lara Marlowe

The first time Lara Marlowe interviewed Lieutenant Yulia Mykytenko in Ukraine in 2023, Marlowe realized that the 28-year-old woman army officer was one of the most extraordinary people she had encountered in 42 years of journalism.Mykytenko was born in Kyiv in July 1995. She co-founded the â ˜female squadâ ™ of the 16th regiment of the Self-Defence Force during the 2013/14 Euromaidan protests, which overthrew the corrupt, pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych. She married Illia Serbin, a soldier, in 2015 and joined the army to serve with him in Donbas the following year. Mykytenko briefly left the army after her husband was killed in a Russian bombardment, but re-enlisted on the first day of the full-scale Russian invasion of 24 February 2022. She commands a 25-man drone unit on the frontline in Donbas.Drawing from a series of interviews with Mykytenko through the winter of 2023/24, Marlowe paints a searing portrait of life on the frontline and offers insights into Ukraineâ ™s past and possible future.

How We Break - Vincent Deary

â ˜Exhilaratingâ ¦ Wise and compassionateâ ™ New Statesman An expert, empathetic guide to the science, psychology and physiology of breaking, from the acclaimed author of How We AreWhat happens when our minds and bodies are pushed beyond their limits? Vincent Deary is a health psychologist who has spent years helping his patients cope with whatever life has thrown at them. In How We Break, he has written a book for all of us who sometimes feel we have reached our breaking point.Drawing on clinical case studies, cutting-edge scientific research, intimate personal stories and references from philosophy, literature and film, How We Break offers a consoling new vision of everyday human struggle. The big traumas in life, Deary points out, are relatively rare. More common is when too many things go wrong at once, or we are exposed to prolonged periods of difficulty or precarity. When the world shrinks to nothing but our daily coping, we become unhappy, worried, hopeless, exhausted. In other words, we break. Breaking, he shows us, happens when the same systems that enable us to navigate through life become dysregulated. But if we understand how the wear and tear of life affects us, then we have a better chance of navigating through times of burnout, stress, fatigue and despair.By equipping us with a better understanding of what happens to us when we re struggling to cope, and making a bold case for the power of rest and recuperation, How We Break helps chart a path through difficult times.

Deep and accelerating inequality; unprecedented political polarization; vitriolic public discourse; a fraying social fabric; public and private narcissism—Americans today seem to agree on only one thing: This is the worst of times. But we’ve been here before. During the Gilded Age of the late 1800s, America was highly individualistic, starkly unequal, fiercely polarized, and deeply fragmented, just as it is today.

In We Need Your Art, Amie McNee calls artists and aspiring artists of all kinds to do the work they’re meant to do: create.Using her own experiences as a novelist and the inspiration she’s shared as a creative coach, Amie guides you on why we need your art and how you can make it happen - starting with a two-week reset plan to help you kick-start your creative habit. This isn’t about writing your great novel in a month or painting a masterpiece in a flurry of inspiration.

Each chapter also includes journal prompts that help you apply what you have learned to your new life. We Need Your Art is a revolutionary reprogramming of everything we have been taught and told about being a creative, removing the shame and fear we may feel at dubbing ourselves artists and inviting us to create proudly, with celebration.This book is a warm hug, a pep talk, the wise teacher you always wanted, the loving parent you needed, and the fire in your belly that you need to get roaring.

The Education We Need for a Future We Can

Improve Schools and Transform Education In order for educational systems to change, we must reevaluate deep-seated beliefs about learning, teaching, schooling, and race that perpetuate inequitable opportunities and outcomes. Hatch, Corson, and Gerth van den Berg challenge the narrative when it comes to the grammar of schooling --or the conventional structures, practices, and beliefs that define educational experiences for so many childrenâ ”to cast a new vision of what school could be. The book addresses current systemic problems and solutions as it: Highlights global examples of successful school change Describes strategies that improve educational opportunities and performance Explores promising approaches in developing new learning opportunities Outlines conditions for supporting wide-scale educational improvement This provocative book approaches education reform by highlighting what works, while also demonstrating what can be accomplished if we redefine conventional schools. We can make the schools we have more efficient, more effective, and more equitable, all while creating powerful opportunities to support all aspects of studentsâ ™ development. You wonâ ™t find a better book on system change in education than this one. We learn why schools donâ ™t change; how they can improve; what it takes to change a system; and, in the final analysis, the possibilities of system change. Above all, The Education We Need renders complexity into clarity as the writing is so clear and compelling. A powerful read on a topic of utmost importance. ~Michael Fullan, Professor Emeritus, OISE/Universtiy of Toronto  I cannot recommend this book highly enough â “ Tom tackles long-standing and emerging educational issues in new ways with an impressive understanding of the challenging complexities, but also feasible possibilities, for ensuring excellence and equity for all students. ~Carol Campbell, Associate Professor, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto Â
