Proč se některé národy vyrovnávají s rozvratem lépe než jiné? Můžeme spletité národní krize pochopit díky paralelám s krizovou terapií jednotlivce? A leží právě tady klíč k úspěšnému řešení palčivých problémů dnešního světa? Polyhistor a držitel Pulitzerovy ceny Jared Diamond dokazuje, že ano. Jako příklady mu slouží moderní historie Japonska, Německa, Chile, Finska, USA, Indonésie a Austrálie, které prošly rozmanitými politickými i válečnými zvraty. Autor pak identifikuje dvanáct „terapeutických“ kroků a podmínek – od přijetí vlastní odpovědnosti až po opuštění dysfunkčních zásad a institucí – které těmto národům pomohly jejich existenční krize úspěšně překonat. Diamond knihu komponuje jako pestrou fresku složenou z líčení velkých dramat i z detailních postřehů o sedmi zemích, které měl možnost důkladně poznat. Nabízí přitom odpovědi na řadu komplikovaných otázek týkajících se historie i naší současnosti. Jakou lekci si mohou odnést malé státy z pohnutých dějin Finska, ohroženého rozpínavým ruským obrem? Dá se exaktně určit, nakolik se do dějin národů a států promítá vliv jejich vůdců? Jak zvládlo Japonsko během padesáti let dohnat západní svět? A jak naopak neochota učit se od jiných zemí škodí USA? Kam dokázal státy vehnat nedostatek přírodních zdrojů a jak se s tímto problémem vypořádat v globalizovaném světě? Proč se Němci, Indonésané či Japonci vyrovnávají s temnými kapitolami své minulosti tak rozdílně a jaký to má na ně dopad? Proč jsou i zdánlivě stabilní demokracie křehké a jejich konec může přijít stejně nenadále a brutálně jako v Pinochetově Chile? O autorovi Jared Diamond (* 1937) je americký vědec, spisovatel, antropolog, historik, lingvista a nositel mnoha ocenění včetně Pulitzerovy ceny za literaturu faktu. Mimo jiní je autorem mezinárodních bestsellerů Osudy lidských společností: Střelné zbraně, choroboplodné zárodky a ocel v historii, Kolaps: Proč společnosti zanikají a přežívají a Svět, který skončil včera. V současnosti působí jako profesor geografie a fyziologie na Kalifornské univerzitě v Los Angeles.

'When it comes to survival and getting out of trouble, listen to this man. John is the real deal.' Levison Wood What is the connection between crawling through a jungle and your ‘to do' list? What can ejecting out of a stealth bomber teach you about the importance of thinking the worst? What can surviving in extreme situations teach us about surviving everyday life? John Hudson, Chief Survival Instructor to the British Military, knows what it takes to survive. Combining first-hand experience with 20 years of studying the choices people have made under the most extreme pressure, How to Survive is a lifetime's worth of wisdom about how to apply the principles of survival to everyday life. The cornerstone of military survival (surviving anything) is understanding the relationship between effort, hope and goals - a mindset that can be transposed anytime, anywhere. In How to Survive you will learn how this template for survival can be applied to any situation in your everyday life. Through gripping first-hand accounts of near disaster and survival stories from across the extreme world you will learn that by following these principles you can develop the mindset that will allow you to make better decisions under pressure, which are as equally applicable to first dates and presentations as to climbing Everest and getting lost at sea.

eBook: # O KNIZENositel Pulitzerovy ceny předkládá jedinečné dílo, v němž se zamýšlí nad tím, jak by mohly určité prvky tradičního fungování obohatit a zlepšit náš moderní život. Většina z nás bere moderní realitu za samozřejmou. Letecká doprava, mobilní telefony, počítače, gramotnost, obezita. Ale po převážnou většinu z šesti milionů let své existence lidská společnost vypadala a fungovala docela jinak. Tradiční společnosti, jako například domorodé kmeny z novoguinejské Vysočiny, nám připomínají, že z hlediska lidské evoluce to bylo teprve „včera“, kdy se všechno změnilo. Naše těla jsou pořád ještě lépe adaptovaná na podmínky tradičního způsobu života než na podmínky toho moderního.# V KNIZE SE DOČTETE:• o přístupech k výchově dětí• o způsobech řešení sporů• o metodách vyhodnocování rizik• o metodách uchovávání zdraví, tělesné i duševní kondice• o přístupu ke starším lidemJared Diamond tentokráte čtenářům předkládá vlastní zkušenosti, zážitky i nejzajímavejší poznatky z desítek let své práce na tichomořských ostrovech.Vše doplňuje fakty z prostředí dalších tradičních národu, jako jsou Inuité, Agtové, amazonští indiáni nebo třeba !Kungové z africké pouště Kalahari. Tradiční společnosti však rozhodně neromantizuje: některé z jejich zvyklostí jsou pro nás šokující a je nutno rozlišovat, co vede k lepšímu fungování lidstva a co nikoliv.# O AUTOROVI:Jared Mason Diamond (1937) je americký vědec, spisovatel, profesor geografie a fyziologie na Kalifornské univeritě.

From the international bestselling author of Principles and legendary investor Ray Dalio, who has spent half a century studying global markets, The Changing World Order examines history's most turbulent economic and political periods to reveal why the times ahead will likely be radically different from those we've experienced in our lifetimes.A few years ago, renowned investor Ray Dalio began noticing a confluence of political and economic conditions he hadn't encountered before in his fifty-year career. They included large debts and zero or near-zero interest rates in the world's three major reserve currencies; significant wealth, political and values divisions within countries; and emerging conflict between a rising world power (China) and the existing one (US).Seeking to explain the cause-effect relationships behind these conditions, he began a study of analogous historical times and discovered that such combinations of conditions were characteristic of periods of transition, such as the years between 1930 and 1945, in which wealth and power shifted in ways that reshaped the world order. Looking back across five hundred years of history and nine major empires - including the Dutch, the British and the American - The Changing World Order puts into perspective the cycles and forces that have driven the successes and failures of all the world's major countries throughout history.Dalioreveals the timeless and universal dynamics that were behind these shifts, while also offering practical principles for policymakers, business leaders, investors and others operating in this environment.

Shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize, the Zócalo Book Prize and the Christopher Moore Prize For Human Rights Writing 'Gaia Vince's new book should be read not just by every politician, but by every person on the planet' ObserverAn urgent investigation of the most underreported, seismic consequence of climate change: how it will force us to change where - and how - we liveWe are facing a species emergency. With every degree of temperature rise, a billion people will be displaced from the zone in which humans have lived for thousands of years. While we must do everything we can to mitigate the impact of climate change, the brutal truth is that huge swathes of the world are becoming uninhabitable. From Bangladesh to Sudan to the western United States, and in cities from Cardiff to New Orleans to Shanghai, the quadruple threat of drought, heat, wildfires and flooding will utterly reshape Earth's human geography in the coming decades.In this rousing call to arms, Royal Society Science Book Prize-winning author Gaia Vince describes how we can plan for and manage this unavoidable climate migration while we restore the planet to a fully habitable state. The vital message of this book is that migration is not the problem - it's the solution. Drawing on a wealth of eye-opening data and original reporting, Vince shows how migration brings benefits not only to migrants themselves, but to host countries, many of which face demographic crises and labour shortages. As Vince describes, we will need to move northwards as a species, into the habitable fringes of Europe, Asia and Canada and the greening Arctic circle.While the climate catastrophe is finally getting the attention it deserves, the inevitability of mass migration has been largely ignored. In Nomad Century, Vince provides, for the first time, an examination of the most pressing question facing humanity.

The bestselling author of Crisis Economics argues that we are heading toward the worst economic catastrophe of our lifetimes, unless we can defend against ten terrifying threats.Renowned economist Nouriel Roubini was nicknamed "Dr. Doom," until his prediction of the 2008 housing crisis and Great Recession came true - when it was too late. Now he is back with a much scarier prediction, one that we ignore at our peril. There are no fewer than ten overlapping, interconnected threats that are so serious, he calls them Megathreats. From the worst debt crisis the world has ever seen, to governments pumping out too much money, to borders that are blocked to workers and to many shipments of goods, to the rise of a new superpower competition between China and the U.S., to climate change that strikes directly at our most populated cities, we are facing not one, not two, but ten causes of disaster. There is a slight chance we can avoid them, if we come to our senses - but we must act now.In the 1970s, the U.S. faced stagflation: high rates of inflation combined with stagnant employment and growth. Today, we are heading toward a Great Stagflation that will make the 1970s look like a walk in the park.

Liberty is hardly the 'natural' order of things; usually states have been either too weak to protect individuals or too strong for people to protect themselves from despotism. There is also a happy Western myth that where liberty exists, it's a steady state, arrived at by 'enlightenment'. But liberty emerges only when a delicate and incessant balance is struck...

From the creator of The Good Place and the cocreator of Parks and Recreation, a hilarious, thought-provoking guide to living an ethical life, drawing on 2,500 years of deep thinking from around the world.Most people think of themselves as “good,” but it’s not always easy to determine what’s “good” or “bad”—especially in a world filled with complicated choices and pitfalls and booby traps and bad advice. Fortunately, many smart philosophers have been pondering this conundrum for millennia and they have guidance for us. With bright wit and deep insight, How to Be Perfect explains concepts like deontology, utilitarianism, existentialism, ubuntu, and more so we can sound cool at parties and become better people.Schur starts off with easy ethical questions like “Should I punch my friend in the face for no reason?” (No.) and works his way up to the most complex moral issues we all face. Such as: Can I still enjoy great art if it was created by terrible people? How much money should I give to charity? Why bother being good at all when there are no consequences for being bad? And much more. By the time the book is done, we’ll know exactly how to act in every conceivable situation, so as to produce a verifiably maximal amount of moral good. We will be perfect, and all our friends will be jealous. OK, not quite. Instead, we’ll gain fresh, funny, inspiring wisdom on the toughest issues we face every day.

Everyone knows how hard it can be to maintain a healthy diet. But what if some of the decisions we make about what to eat are beyond our control? Is it possible that food is addictive, like drugs or alcohol? And to what extent does the food industry know, or care, about these vulnerabilities? In Hooked, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Michael Moss sets out to answer these questions and to find the true peril in our food. Moss uses the latest research on addiction to uncover the shocking ways that food, in some cases, is even more addictive than alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs. Our bodies are hardwired for sweets, so food giants have developed fifty-six types of sugar to add to their products and ways to exploit our evolutionary preference for fast, ready-to-eat foods. Moss goes on to show how the processed food industry -- including major companies like Nestle, Mars, and Kellogg's -- has not only tried to hide the addictiveness of food but to actually exploit it. As obesity rates continue to climb, manufacturers are now claiming to add ingredients that can effortlessly cure our compulsive eating habits. A gripping account of the legal battles, insidious marketing campaigns, and cutting-edge food science that have brought us to our current public health crisis, Hooked lays out all that the food industry is doing to exploit and deepen our addictions, and shows us why what we eat has never mattered more.

One of the unexpected advantages my drug addiction granted is that the process of recovery that I practise includes a mentorship tradition. I will encourage you to find mentors of your own and explain how you may better use the ones you already have. Furthermore, I will tell you about my experiences mentoring others and how invaluable that has been on my ongoing journey to self-acceptance and how it has helped me to transform from a bewildered and volatile vagabond to a (mostly) present and (usually) focussed husband and father.' - Russell Brand Mentors: How to Help and Be Helped describes the impact that a series of significant people have had on the author - from the wayward youths he tried to emulate growing up in Essex, through the first ex-junkie sage, to the people he turns to today to help him be a better father.

Or how about that mad neighbour you have living next-door to you? Or when work seems to be going down the toilet when the competition keep outsmarting you? So how do you handle everything life throws your way when you'd really prefer to tell everyone to get stuffed? Thomas Erikson will help you turn adversity into success with the help of the behavioural model made famous in Surrounded by Idiots. Starting by reminding us that life is as it is, Erikson helps you see that it is in fact useless to try to control everything happening around you. Instead of protesting when life throws you curveballs, focus instead on how to handle them. Just as you keep the weeds away from the garden to provide space and amazing flowers, you need to find an approach to adversity that works for you and will give you the chance to turn everything into success. Surrounded by Setbacks will help you pinpoint the approach that works for you and will entertain and empower you in equal measure.

What valuable company is nobody building? The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won't make a search engine. If you are copying these guys, you aren't learning from them. It's easier to copy a model than to make something new: doing what we already know how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. Every new creation goes from 0 to 1. This book is about how to get there. "Peter Thiel has built multiple breakthrough companies, and Zero to One shows how". (Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla). "This book delivers completely new and refreshing ideas on how to create value in the world". (Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook). "When a risk taker writes a book, read it. In the case of Peter Thiel, read it twice. Or, to be safe, three times. This is a classic". (Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of The Black Swan).

The Simulmatics Corporation, founded in 1959, mined data, targeted voters, accelerated news, manipulated consumers, destabilized politics, and disordered knowledge--decades before Facebook, Google, Amazon, and Cambridge Analytica. Silicon Valley likes to imagine it has no past but the scientists of Simulmatics are the long-dead grandfathers of Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. Borrowing from psychological warfare, they used computers to predict and direct human behavior, deploying their "People Machine" from New York, Cambridge, and Saigon for clients that included John Kennedy's presidential campaign, the New York Times, Young & Rubicam, and, during the Vietnam War, the Department of Defence. In If Then, distinguished Harvard historian and New Yorker staff writer, Jill Lepore, unearths from the archives the almost unbelievable story of this long-vanished corporation, and of the women hidden behind it. In the 1950s and 1960s, Lepore argues, Simulmatics invented the future by building the machine in which the world now finds itself trapped and tormented, algorithm by algorithm.

The risks of global warming are real, and potentially vast. The difficulty of doing without fossil fuels is daunting, and possibly insurmountable. So there is an urgent need for new thinking on climate change. To meet that need, a small but increasingly influential group of scientists is exploring proposals for planned human intervention in the climate system. A stratospheric veil against the sun; the cultivation of photosynthetic plankton; a fleet of unmanned ships seeding clouds: these are the radical technologies of climate geoengineering. It is chilling to think of such power, and such scope for misadventure or malice, in humans hands. And yet we are now at the point where we have no choice but to take them very seriously indeed. The Planet Remade explores the science, history and politics behind these strategies. It looks at who might want to see geoengineering put to use - and why others would be dead set against it. In the last two centuries, changes to the planet - to the clouds and soils, to the winds and the seas, to the great cycles of nitrogen and carbon - have been far more profound than most of us realize.Appreciating the scale of that change compels us to rethink not just our responses to global warming, but our relationship to nature. With sensitivity, insight and expert science, Oliver Morton unpicks the moral implications of climate change, our fear that people have become a force of nature, and what it might mean to try and use that force for good. The Planet Remade is about imagining a world where people take care instead of taking control.

Shortlisted for the Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award 2012. Why are some nations more prosperous than others? Why Nations Fail sets out to answer this question, with a compelling and elegantly argued new theory: that it is not down to climate, geography or culture, but because of institutions. Drawing on an extraordinary range of contemporary and historical examples, from ancient Rome through the Tudors to modern-day China, leading academics Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson show that to invest and prosper, people need to know that if they work hard, they can make money and actually keep it - and this means sound institutions that allow virtuous circles of innovation, expansion and peace. Based on fifteen years of research, and answering the competing arguments of authors ranging from Max Weber to Jeffrey Sachs and Jared Diamond, Acemoglu and Robinson step boldly into the territory of Francis Fukuyama and Ian Morris. They blend economics, politics, history and current affairs to provide a new, powerful and persuasive way of understanding wealth and poverty.

Prvá slovensko-anglická publikácia venovaná Romanovi Ondakovi (1966) približuje tvorbu vo svete najprestížnejšieho slovenského umelca v metonymickej skratke - na projekte Fail to Fall z roku 2010. Názov tohto diela je vskutku príznačný. Ondak sústredil desiatky fotografií zaznamenávajúcich padáky, ktorých riadený, naprogramovaný pád zlyhal a ocitli sa na nesprávnych miestach - v korunách stromov, na ruke Krista Spasiteľa v Riu de Janeiro či na fakle Sochy Slobody... Konceptuálny posun faktov do nových, originálnych situácií, ale aj ďalšie tvorivé stratégie autora, ktorý nechce sám na seba upozorňovať, osvetľuje kunsthistorik Aurel Hrabušický.
