Power Play : Elon Musk, Tesla and the Bet of the Century
Inside the outrageous, come-from-behind story of Elon Musk and Tesla's bid to build the world's greatest car and the race to drive the future.
Elon Musk is among the most controversial titans of Silicon Valley. To some he's a genius and a visionary and to others he's a mercurial huckster. Billions of dollars have been gained and lost on his tweets and his personal exploits are the stuff of tabloids. But for all his outrageous talk of mind-uploading and space travel, his most audacious vision is the one closest to the ground: the electric car.
When Tesla was founded in the 2000s, electric cars were novelties, trotted out and thrown on the scrap heap by carmakers for more than a century. But where most onlookers saw only failure, a small band of Silicon Valley engineers and entrepreneurs saw potential and they pitted themselves against the biggest, fiercest business rivals in the world, setting out to make a car that was quicker, sexier, smoother, cleaner than the competition.
Tesla would undergo a truly hellish fifteen years, beset by rivals, pressured by investors, hobbled by whistleblowers, buoyed by its loyal supporters. Musk himself would often prove Tesla's worst enemy--his antics repeatedly taking the company he had funded himself to the brink of collapse. Was he an underdog, an antihero, a conman, or some combination of the three?
Wall Street Journal tech and auto reporter Tim Higgins had a front-row seat for the drama: the pileups, wrestling for control, meltdowns, and the unlikeliest outcome of all, success. A story of power, recklessness, struggle, and triumph, Power Play is an exhilarating look at how a team of eccentrics and innovators beat the odds... and changed the future.

Kelta tündérmesék
Századok peregtek le és mesemondók generációi nőttek fel a kelta tündérmesék varázslatos világán, humorán és izgalmain. Életkortól, nemtől és történelmi kortól függetlenül bármely hallgatóság érdeklődve merül el ezekben a történetekben, amiktől az olvasó minden meseelemet és fordulatot megkap, amit csak kíván. 1892-ben válogatta össze egy kötetbe ezt a 26 történetet Joseph Jacobs, az angolszász meseirodalom és folklór megkerülhetetlen alakja. Azóta folyamatosan jelenik meg angol nyelven. A történetek széles keresztmetszetét adják a kelta (elsősorban ír, kisebb részben walesi, skót és cornish) kultúrának, Deidre balladájától a fürge szabó hátborzongató kísértettörténetén át kacagtató mesékig az asszonyi furfangról. Írország, Skócia, Wales és Cornwall valódi kulturális öröksége bármely korosztály olvasói számára élvezetes kikapcsolódást nyújt, hiszen ez a varázslatos mesevilág tőlünk oly távoli, s átlengi a kelta kultúra varázsa és varázslata, druidái, beszélő állatai, óriási és egyéb csodái. S bár Joseph Jacobs gyűjteményének népszerűsége töretlen, kelta mesegyűjteménye eddig még nem jelent meg magyar nyelven. Ezért nyugodt szívvel ajánljunk mindenkinek ezt a kortalan mesegyűjteményt első ízben magyar nyelven, mely biztosak vagyunk benne, hogy sugárzó fényű állócsillag lesz a magyar nyelven kiadott mesegyűjtemények égboltján. A mesékhez Jacobs jegyzetei mellett kiadónk is fűzött magyarázó megjegyzéseket, melyek teljessé teszik az egyes mesék hátterét, vagy a számunkra szokatlan nevek eredetét, jelentését. A magyar kiadáshoz őexcellenciája, Ronan Gargan, Írország magyarországi nagykövete írt autentikus előszót.
Why Wall Street Matters
If you like your smartphone or your widescreen TV, your car or your pension, then, whether you know it or not, you are a fan of Wall Street.
William D. Cohan, bestselling author of House of Cards, has long been critical of the bad behaviour that plagued much of Wall Street in the years leading up to the 2008 financial crisis, and, as an ex-banker, he is an expert on its inner workings as well. But in recent years he has become alarmed by the vitriol directed at the bankers, traders and executives who keep the wheels of our economy turning. Why Wall Street Matters is a timely and trenchant reminder of the dire consequences for us all if the essential role these institutions play in making our lives better is carelessly curtailed.
