Christians are called to visibly live out our faith,but we also need to be able to reasonably explain what we believe and why. Graham Nichollsâ ™ practical book will help us do just that. Â Itâ ™s easy to think that our faith is personal, something which should be expressed behind closed doors or with other Christians. But we are called to be a light to the world, to be able to give a reason for our faith. Graham Nichollsâ ™ practical book helps us to think through not only why we should do that, but how we can do it. Â The world needs to hear the gospel, and there are a whole host of ways we can publicly proclaim our faith. From identifying the key battle lines where there is friction between Christianity and modern Western society, to engaging with mainstream media; from street preaching to an evangelistic online presence, Nicholls exhorts Christians to be salt and light wherever God gives them opportunities. Â As a pastor, and as Director of Affinity, an organisation which helps equip Christians to effectively engage with society, Graham Nicholls brings valuable experience with traditional and new media, local church outreach, community projects and oneâ “toâ “one evangelism.

Jak báječně by si Krtek a Krysík lebedili v bytečku u řeky, která si tak líně plyne odnikud nikam, kdyby… Kdyby si majitel blízkého Žabihradu, neblaze proslulý (oboj)živel a poděs pan Žabák, nehrál na závodníka Formule 1 a netropil alotria, že i pobouřený Jezevec vylezl z nory. Kdyby na světě nebyli sousedi, jak by se tu panečku žilo… Kenneth Grahame komentuje anglický způsob života se skotskou vzdorností, až z toho lordi blednou, lůza rudne a čtenář se řehtá. Autorova pohádka o zvířatech v nás pochází ze zlatého věku secese, je však stále moderní svou poťouchlostí, často i ztřeštěností. Piráti silnic i strojvůdci parních lokomotiv v ní sviští rychlostí větru krajinou sladkého domova a padouši v temnotě lesa kují pikle, neboť uhlazený ostrovní způsob života se jim z lasičí duše příčí. A přestože zde bude svedena velkolepá bitva, až budou chlupy lítat, vyrovná se tento klenot světové literatury pro děti a mládež humorně něžným příhodám Medvídka Pú. Souzní s nimi přece myšlenkou: s řádem a spořádaností není radno hazardovat už jen proto, že nic šikovnějšího doteď nikdo nevymyslel. Moderní klasika v novém českém překladu!

This book provides insights into the true nature of financial and economic data, and is a practical guide on how to analyze a variety of data sources. The focus of the book is on finance and economics, but it also illustrates the use of quantitative analysis and data science in many different areas. Lastly, the book includes practical information on how to store and process data and provides a framework for data driven reasoning about the world.The book begins with entertaining tales from Graham Giller s career in finance, starting with speculating in UK government bonds at the Oxford Post Office, accidentally creating a global instant messaging system that went viral before anybody knew what that meant, on being the person who forgot to hit enter to run a hundred-million dollar statistical arbitrage system, what he decoded from his brief time spent with Jim Simons, and giving Michael Bloomberg a tutorial on Granger Causality.The majority of the content is a narrative of analytic work done on financial, economics, and alternative data, structured around both Dr Giller s professional career and some of the things that just interested him. The goal is to stimulate interest in predictive methods, to give accurate characterizations of the true properties of financial, economic and alternative data, and to share what Richard Feynman described as The Pleasure of Finding Things Out.

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER AND A FINANCIAL TIMES, SUNDAY TIMES AND TELEGRAPH BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024 The best book on football I have ever read Daniel Finkelstein Fascinating and educational. An enjoyable and informative read Sir Kenny Dalglish Deserves a place among the great modern books on football Sam Wallace, chief football writer, Telegraph______________________________The insider account of the data revolution that has swept through the modern football world written by one of its key architects, Ian Graham.Between 2012 and 2023, Ian Graham worked as Liverpool FC s Director of Research. His tenure coincided with the clubâ ™s greatest period of success since the 1980s, including winning the Premier League in 2020 â “ Liverpoolâ ™s first league title after an agonising three decades.Here for the first time, Graham reveals the fascinating data that informed some of the clubâ ™s most pivotal moments of the past decade, from the appointment of Jurgen Klopp as manager in 2015 to the signing of Mohamed Salah in 2017. Along the way, he shares groundbreaking insight into the modern game, including how a season largely played behind closed doors transformed our understanding of home team advantage, or why the GOAT (greatest of all time) might not be who you think. And, in a game that is increasingly dominated by an elite few, Graham charts a path for the future where a data-savvy competitor will always find the edge.______________________________ A fascinating, witty and remarkably insightful account of Liverpool s reinvention and a clear-eyed, detailed explanation of the inner workings of modern football. Nobody is better qualified to tell either of those stories than Ian Graham, who stands as one of the most (quietly) significant figures in the recent history of the club and the sport Rory Smith, author of Expected Goals and Chief Soccer Correspondent, New York Times Never before has the data revolution in football been described so well from the inside. Christoph Biermann, author of Football Hackersâ ˜How to Win the Premier League gives you three books for the price of one: a book about all of the silly inefficiencies plaguing European football, a book about what it s like to be empowered to use outside-the-box thinking to help turn your boyhood club into the best team in the world, and a book about how football actually works. If he really wanted to, Ian could easily put me out of a job.â ™Ryan Oâ ™Hanlon, author of Net Gains and staff writer ESPN*A Sunday Times bestseller August 2024
