Moonshot: Inside Pfizers Nine-Month Race To Make The Impossible Possible
The exclusive, first-hand, behind-the-scenes story of how Pfizer raced to create the first Covid-19 vaccine, told by Pfizer's CEO Dr. Albert Bourla
A riveting, fast-paced, inside look at one of the most incredible private sector achievements in history, Moonshot recounts the intensive nine months in 2020 when the scientists at Pfizer, under the visionary leadership of Dr. Albert Bourla, made "the impossible possible"-creating, testing, and manufacturing a safe and effective Covid-19 vaccine that previously would have taken years to develop.
Dr. Bourla chronicles how the brilliant, dedicated minds at Pfizer, under the enormous strains of the global pandemic, overcame a series of crises that were compounded by social and political unrest, and reveals the doubts, decisions, obstacles, and failures they encountered. As Dr. Bourla makes clear, Pfizer's success wasn't due to luck; it was because of preparation driven by four simple values-Courage, Excellence, Equity, and Joy.
Moonshot is a story of leadership under the most unprecedented circumstances-how Dr. Bourla, a Greek immigrant, a child of Holocaust survivors, and a veterinarian, became the head of one of the world's largest corporations and initiated a dramatic transformation of the organization just before a global health crisis would serve to test the organization, its scientists and its leader, like never before. Moonshot describes best practices that can be used to address the multiple, unprecedented challenges our world faces, reveals Pfizer's implementation of scientific breakthroughs at a record-breaking pace, and offers leadership lessons that can help anyone successfully manage their own seemingly unsolvable problems. As Dr. Bourla explains, "I am sharing the story of our moonshot-the challenges we faced, the lessons we learned, and the core values that allowed us to make it happen-in hopes that it might inspire and inform your own moonshot, whatever that may be."

Scaling up
SCALING UP: So you’ve made the decision to grow your business – congratulations! Now get ready for the next challenge: how to scale your business for growth. Even if you manage to sell like crazy, you’ll soon have another problem: you have to be able to deliver to all those new customers. Scalability is about capacity and capability. Does your business have the capacity to grow? Will your business systems, infrastructure, and team be able to accommodate growth? If growth causes your company to stumble because of confusion, orders falling through the cracks, insufficient staff, miscommunication, not enough manufacturing or delivery capacity –you’re going to have unhappy customers. The manual processes that were fine when you were small but now won’t let you move fast enough. You’ll either be putting out fires or desperately trying to keep your head above water. All of which is stressful. Scaling a business means setting the stage to enable and support growth in your company. It means having the ability to grow without being hampered. It requires planning, some funding, and the right systems, staff, processes, technology and partners.

The Song of the Cell
The Song of the Cell is the vivid, thrilling and suspenseful story of the fundamental unit of life. It describes how scientists discovered cells, began to understand them, and are now using that knowledge to create new humans. Both panoramic and intimate, it is Siddhartha Mukherjee's most spectacular book yet.
In the late 1600s, a distinguished English polymath, Robert Hooke, and an eccentric Dutch cloth-merchant, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, look down their hand-made microscopes. What they see introduces a radical concept that alters both biology and medicine forever. It is the fact that complex living organisms are assemblages of tiny, self-contained, self-regulating units. Our organs, our physiology, our selves, are built from these compartments. Hooke christens them 'cells'.
The discovery of cells announced the birth of a new kind of medicine. A hip fracture, a cardiac arrest, Alzheimer's, AIDS, lung cancer - all could be re-conceived as the results of cells, or a cellular ecosystem, functioning abnormally. And all could be treated by therapeutic manipulations of cells.
This revolution in cell biology is still in progress: it represents one of the most significant advances in science and medicine.
Rich with stories of scientists, doctors, and the patients whose lives may be saved by their work, The Song of the Cell is the third book in this extraordinary writer's exploration of what it means to be human.

Super Human
From Bulletproof creator and bestselling author Dave Asprey comes a revolutionary approach to anti-aging that will help you up your game at any age.
** New York Times Bestseller **
Dave Asprey suffered countless symptoms of aging as a young man, which sparked a life-long burning desire to grow younger with each birthday. For more than twenty years, he has been on a quest to find innovative, science-backed methods to upgrade human biology and redefine the limits of the mind, body, and spirit. The results speak for themselves. Now in his forties, Dave is smarter, happier, and more fit and successful than ever before.
In Super Human, he shows how this is level of health and performance possible for all of us. While we assume we will peak in middle age and then decline, Asprey's research reveals there is another way. It is possible to make changes on the sub-cellular level to dramatically extend life span. And the tools to live longer also give you more energy and brainpower right now.
The answers lie in Dave's Seven Pillars of Aging that contribute to degeneration and disease while diminishing your performance in the moment. Using simple interventions--like diet, sleep, light, exercise, and little-known but powerful hacks from ozone therapy to proper jaw alignment, you can decelerate cellular aging and supercharge your body's ability to heal and rejuvenate.?
A self-proclaimed human guinea pig, Asprey arms readers with practical advice to maximize their lives at every age with his signature mix of science-geek wonder, candor, and enthusiasm. Getting older no longer has to mean decline. Now it's an opportunity to become Super Human.

A Taste for Poison
As any reader of murder mysteries can tell you, poison is one of the most enduring - and popular - weapons of choice for a scheming murderer. It can be slipped into a drink, smeared onto the tip of an arrow or the handle of a door, even filtered through the air we breathe. But how exactly do these poisons work to break our bodies down, and what can we learn from the damage they inflict?
In a fascinating blend of popular science, medical history, and narrative crime nonfiction, Dr Neil Bradbury explores this most morbidly captivating method of murder from a cellular level. Alongside real-life accounts of murderers and their crimes -some notorious, some forgotten, some still unsolved - are the equally compelling stories of the poisons involved: eleven molecules of death that work their way through the human body and, paradoxically, illuminate the way in which our bodies function.
Drawn from historical records and current news headlines, A Taste for Poison weaves together the fascinating tales of spurned lovers, shady scientists, medical professionals and political assassins, showing how the precise systems of the body can be impaired to lethal effect through the use of poison. From the deadly origins of the gin & tonic cocktail to the arsenic-laced wallpaper in Napoleon's bedroom, A Taste for Poison leads readers on a fascinating tour of the intricate, complex systems that keep us alive - or don't.

China's Economy
China's economic growth has been revolutionary, and is the foundation of its increasingly prominent role in world affairs. It is the world's second biggest economy, the largest manufacturing and trading nation, the consumer of half the world's steel and coal, the biggest source of international tourists, and one of the most influential investors in developing countries from southeast Asia to Africa to Latin America. Multinational companies make billions of dollars in
profits in China each year, while traders around the world shudder at every gyration of the country's unruly stock markets. Perhaps paradoxically, its capitalist economy is governed by an authoritarian Communist Party that shows no sign of loosening its grip.
China is frequently in the news, whether because of trade disputes, the challenges of its Belt and Road initiative for global infrastructure, or its increasing military strength. China's political and technological challenges, created by a country whose political system and values differ dramatically from most of the other major world economies, creates uncertainty and even fear.
China's Economy: What Everyone Needs to Know is a concise introduction to the most astonishing economic and political story of the last three decades. Arthur Kroeber enhances our understanding of China's changes and their implications. Among the essential questions he answers are: How did China grow so fast for so long? Can it keep growing and still solve its problems of environmental damage, fast-rising debt and rampant corruption? How long can its vibrant economy co-exist with the
repressive one-party state? How do China's changes affect the rest of the world?
This thoroughly revised and updated second edition includes a comprehensive discussion of the origins and development of the US-China strategic rivalry, including Trump's trade war and the race for technological supremacy. It also explores the recent changes in China's political system, reflecting Xi Jinping's emergence as the most powerful leader since Mao Zedong. It includes insights on changes in China's financial sector, covering the rise and fall of the shadow banking sector, and China's
increasing integration with global financial markets. And it covers China's rapid technological development and the rise of its global Internet champions such as Alibaba and Tencent.
Az ellopott század
A welszi herceg már négy napja nem ment ki a kapun, mert rongyos volt a nadrágja. Nem a jó megjelenés szabályait becsülte ennyire, hanem inkább attól tartott, hogy a káplár, akitől nagyon félt, kihallgatásra küldi és két hét cellule-büntetésre terjeszti fel. Őfensége nem szerette a magánzárkát, különösen a százlábuak kevéssé vonzó társasága miatt. Furcsa és igazságtalan a helyzet itt a légióban. A welszi herceg polgári életében szakács volt egy luxusgőzösön, Port Said és Batavia között. Egy alkalommal állítólag olyan csirkeragout főzött a welszinek, hogy ez elkérte a receptjét és tíz percig beszélgetett vele. Hogy mi igaz a históriából, azt a légionisták nem tudhatták, de miután a szakács az izgalmas történetet minden kimenőnapon elmondta a kocsmában, elnevezték welszi hercegnek és a név rajta maradt. Őfensége most elharapta a cérnát, mert már varrt is közben és körülnézett. Wieland, a zenebohóc pőrén feküdt a földön, mert azt hitte, hogy a beton kevésbé meleg. Legyek zsongtak a bagó- és hagymaszagú szobában. Mennyi légy... Kroll, aki egyszerűen csak fuvarosnak vallja magát, ha ugyan beszél, mert ezt ritkán teszi és olyankor is csak egytagú szavakat felel a kérdésre, Kroll, mint mindig, hanyatt fekszik az ágyán nyitott szemmel, nem olvas, nem alszik, csak néz... Az ördög tudja mit... A sarokban Vligny olvas. Mindig olvas. Vagy sóhajt. Vlignyről kiderült, hogy lefokozott tiszt. Ő nem mondja. De kiderült. Két napja. Azóta ő a szenzáció. Az irnok mesélte, mert kihallgatott egy beszélgetést. Valami magasrangú tiszt járt itt a kapitánynál és azt mondta, hogy van a helyőrségben egy lefokozott francia tiszt a legények között. Többet nem mondhat. Ezt sem hivatalosan. És a felettesekre bizza, hogy felismerjék ennyi baka között azt, aki igazi tiszt volt. Nem kér semmit a számára, csak valamivel jobb bánásmódot... Nyomban tudta a kapitány is, a hadnagy is, hogy ez csak Vligny lehet. Most új ember lép a szobába. Délben érkezett Saidából, az utánpótlással. Hudniczka, egy angolos, rókaképű, szikár katona vezeti. Ha lehet, barátsággal fogadják az ujoncot. Ők itt már tudják, hogy mi vár szegényre ebben az istenverte Timbuktuban...

Swarm Intelligence
- Traders deciding on the next big market bet.- A navigation app quickly mapping out a less-explored area.- Fashion brands choosing the hottest color of the season.- An airport managing fight delays.
What do these scenarios have in common? In each one, swarm intelligence blends global and local insight to improve how businesses make decisions.
Swarm intelligence is a form of artificial intelligence (AI) inspired by the insect kingdom. In nature, it describes how honeybees migrate, how ants form perfect trails, and how birds flock. In the world of AI, swarm systems draw input from individual people or machine sensors and then use algorithms to optimize the overall performance of the group or system in real time.
Consider Waze, the popular road navigation app that uses swarm intelligence to create and modify maps. Starting with limited digital maps, it began making tweaks based on its users’ GPS data along with manual map modifications by registered users. Entire cities have been mapped using this method, as was the case in Costa Rica’s capital, San José. And just as ants signal danger to their counterparts, so too do Waze users contribute live information from accident locations and traffic jams.
Swarm intelligence is now being used to predict everything from the outcome of the Super Bowl to fashion trends to major political events. Using swarm intelligence, investors can better predict market movements, and retailers can more accurately forecast sales.
By the end of reading this book, you will have the answers to the public top 100 questions, queries, issues, doubts, problems and inquiries. Most importantly, you will be able master the discussion about the following topics in Swarm Intelligence, and explore the new ways of thinking about life and business:
01 - Fundamental Concepts: Definition, Systems, Nature
02 - Models of Swarm Behavior: Boids, Self-Propelled Particles
03 - Optimization Problem: Elements, Formulations, and Search Solutions
04 - Meta-Heuristic Nature Inspired Optimization Algorithms Inspired by Swarm Intelligence
05 - Meta-Heuristic and Monkeys Problems: Infinite, Finite, and the difference
06 - Common Algorithmic Characteristics and Comparisons: Ant Colony Optimization, Bee Colony Optimization, Bat Algorithm, Cuckoo Search, Particle Swarm Optimization, Firefly Algorithm, Flower Pollination Algorithm, Swarm Intelligence Application Areas, Travelling Salesman Problem, Telecommunication, Image Processing, Engineering Design, Vehicle Routing
07 - Swarm Intelligence Systems: Taxonomy, Natural vs. Artificial, Scientific vs. Engineering
08 - Examples of Swarm Intelligence Systems: Foraging Behavior of Ants, Clustering by a Swarm of Robots, Exploitation of Collective Behaviors of Animal Societies, Swarm-based Data Analysis

Nem akarsz továbbállni.
Vagy már nem is tudsz?
A Le Sommet baljós épület, az erdőben bújik meg, vészesen meredek hegycsúcsok árnyékában, és régóta nyugtalanító szóbeszéd tárgya. Eredetileg szanatórium volt, aztán sokáig üresen állt, csak nemrég újították fel. Luxushotelt nyitottak benne, impozáns, eldugott pihenőhelyet a svájci Alpokban – márpedig ez az utolsó hely, ahová Elin Warner menni akar. Ugyan nyomozó, de jelenleg nem jár be dolgozni, úgyhogy hirtelenjében nincs jó kifogása, miért ne fogadná el a meghívást. Isaac, az öccse – akivel egyébként Elin egyáltalán nincs jóban –, itt fogja eljegyezni menyasszonyát, Laure-t.
Elin érkezésekor óriási vihar készül. Elin már eleve nyugtalan, úgy érzi, valami nincs rendben ezzel a szállodával. Másnap reggelre pedig Laure eltűnik – Elinnek az ösztöneire kell hagyatkoznia, hogy megtalálja öccse menyasszonyát. Minél több idő telik el Laure eltűnése óta, annál inkább bepánikol a vendégsereg. Elinen nagy a nyomás, hogy felmutasson valami eredményt – miközben senki sem sejti, hogy még egy nő eltűnt. Pedig ő lett volna az, aki figyelmeztethette volna a vendégeket, hogy mindenkinek veszélyben forog az élete.
Sarah Pearse Angliában nőtt fel, irodalmat és kreatív írást tanult az egyetemen, aztán televíziós újságírásból doktorált. Évekig Svájcban élt, mielőtt visszaköltözött Angliába.
„Pompás gothic thriller - fejet hajt a műfaj tipikus kellékei előtt, de aztán kitör a megszokott keretek közül. Pearse prózája friss, ropogós, mint az alpesi hó, karakterei izgalmasak – még ha egyre fogyatkoznak is.” - A. J. Finn, A nő az ablakban című #1 New York Times bestseller szerzője
„A szanatórium olyan könyv, amitől az ember folyton hátrapillant, hogy van-e mögötte valaki. Idegborzoló, feledhetetlen atmoszférájú thriller: kísérteties alpesi helyszín, minőségi stílus, és olyan csavarok, amiket előre nem is sejt az olvasó. Kötelező.” - Richard Osman, A csütörtöki nyomozóklub című bestseller szerzője
„Óriási, elbűvölő lírai alkotás – éles kontrasztban a sötét eseménysorral. Feszült és klausztrofób. Az embernek sejtelme sincs, honnan fog feltárulni a rémisztő múlt – imádtam ezt a könyvet.” - Karen Dionne, A lápkirály lánya című bestseller szerzőjétől
„Lúdbőrös az ember a helyszíntől, ügyesek és sebezhetőek a karakterek chilling, és ahogy halad előre az ember, lassanként rátör a klausztrofóbia. Erősen ajánlott.” - Sarah Pekkanen, az És én téged el nem hagylak című #1 New York Times bestseller társszerzőjétől
„Egyszerre pszichológiai thriller és klasszikus krimi – átgondolt szerkezetű, erőteljes alkotás.” - The Sunday Times (UK)
„Színes, feszült bűnügyi történet, konkrétan és átvitt értelemben is borzongató atmoszférával...” - Irish Times
„Ebben a baljós épületben lassan kiválnak az árnyak közül a sötét titkok. Hitchcock és du Maurier stílusa is visszaköszön, de Pearse hangja egyéni, és csodálatosan közvetíti az érzelmeket.” - Daily Mail
„Tökéletesen klausztrofób helyszín, feszes rejtély, csak tűkön ülve tudja olvasni az ember.” - Natasha Preston, The Cellar című New York Times bestseller szerzője

The truth is that the typical personal improvement mantra of tapping into your willpower and activating the power of positive thinking is actually a recipe for failure. In Beyond Willpower, bestselling author and psychological counselor Alexander Loyd, PhD, ND, reveals a unique, highly effective program to help you finally achieve the life you want and the success you deserve. Science has proven that stress, or internal fear, is the primary source of virtually any problem we encounter– physical, spiritual, emotional, and even circumstantial. New research has shown that fear is literally programmed into us at the cellular level, which is why most of us are unable to turn off our stress response by willpower alone. For the first time, this book teaches you how to change your cellular programming from fear to love, triggering a natural chemical chain reaction that fuels you for your best success. Rooted in science, ancient wisdom, and proven therapeutic techniques to remove personal obstacles that sabotage us, Beyond Willpower offers a revolutionary 40-day holistic program based on more than 25 years of clinical experience. With this program you will identify and clarify what fundamentally defines success for you. Then you’ll receive the three simple tools you need to internally shift from fear to love physically (using the Energy Medicine tool), mentally (using the Reprogramming Statements tool), and spiritually (using the Heart Screen tool). You'll also have free access to the unprecedented "Success Issues Finder" test, which accurately diagnoses your unconscious and subconscious issues related to success and failure, happiness and unhappiness. No matter how you define success – as wealth, career satisfaction, healing of health issues, or resolution of relationship problems –Beyond Willpower will help you achieve it once and for all, quickly and for the long term.
