Slow Rise
Over the course of a year, Robert Penn learns how to plant, harvest, thresh and mill his own wheat, in order to bake bread for his family. In returning to this pre-industrial practice, he tells the fascinating story of our relationship with bread: from the domestication of wheat in the Fertile Crescent at the dawn of civilization, to the rise of mass-produced loaves and the resurgence in homebaking today.
Gathering knowledge and wisdom from experts around the world - farmers on the banks of the Nile, harvesters in the American Midwest and Parisian boulangers - Penn reconnects the joy of making and eating bread with a deep appreciation for the skill and patience required to cultivate its key ingredient. This book is a celebration of the millennia-old craft of breadmaking, and how it is woven into the story of humanity.
The War of the Worlds
No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied. Yet across the gulf of space, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.
Then, late one night, in the middle of the English countryside, they landed.

Lacná kniha War Correspodents (-90%)
When Robert Capa snapped the photo of the dying militiaman during the Spanish Civil War it seemed the ideal goal of every journalist on the frontline: to tell the story of death in battle. But this work actually began nearly a century before with photos shot by Fenton in the Crimea and Brady during the American Civil War. A book illustrated with over 600 images tells the history of war reporting from it’s origins to the bombing of Libya in 2011. Unique images of American reporters in WWI and WWII, the German soldier photographers from Pk, the Italians from the Luce Archive and the French journalists. The reportage in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon, Africa, and the protagonists of what eventually became a real journalistic specialization with its stories, its tragedies and its fallen. A book about the war seen from a new and unexpected point of view, a series of historical photographic scoops, and a selection of rare images on the conflicts of the last one hundred and fifty years selected by the staff of Scalarchives and narrated by its director, the journalist and former reporter Claudio Razeto.

Umenie obchodných vojen
Urob ťah len vtedy, ak máš z toho výhody; neposielaj vojakov do boja, ak nie je čo získať; nebojuj, pokiaľ nie je pozícia kritická.
Sun-c', Umenie vojny
Umenie obchodných vojen je kompiláciou postrehov z najväčších obchodných sporov v dejinách. Necháva sa inšpirovať učením obsiahnutým v knihe Umenie vojny, ktorej autorom je legendárny čínsky generál Sun-c', a zároveň populárnym podcastom Business Wars. Umenie obchodných vojen rozpráva príbehy a poučenia z najväčších obchodných konfliktov v histórii, ktoré odhaľujú, prečo sú niektoré firmy úspešné, zatiaľ čo iné sa rozpadajú.
Podnikanie je boj o prežitie. Podobne ako vo vojne, tak aj v biznise prejavujú nezmieriteľní lídri rovnakú húževnatosť a silu v honbe za výsledkami, navrhujú stratégie a mobilizujú zdroje, aby zvíťazili. Úspech môže závisieť od tých najmenších detailov; jediná chyba môže potopiť celé impérium. Napokon víťazí jedna strana - a víťazstvo je to jediné, na čom záleží.
V Umení obchodných vojen David Brown majstrovsky opisuje niektoré z najväčších obchodných bitiek v dejinách. Robí tak na pozadí postrehov a pragmatických odporúčaní uznávaného čínskeho vojenského stratéga majstra Suna. Každý spor rivalov je príbehom kombinácie rozumu, taktiky a zdrojov. Brown zachytáva vzostup firiem, ako porážajú súperov, zostavujú inovatívne plány a prispôsobujú sa meniacim sa požiadavkám. Cieľ? Udržať si náskok pred konkurenciou a dosiahnuť víťazstvo.
Brown zhrnul všetky poznatky, ktoré odkryl v stovkách epizód podcastu a hĺbkovým výskumom trvajúcim vyše roka. Takýmto spôsobom vytvoril vzorec obchodných intríg, ktorých je v historiografii neúrekom.
Príbehy v Umení obchodných vojen vás inšpirujú a ponaučenia, ktoré si z nich môžete vziať - o odhodlaní, vynaliezavosti, trpezlivosti, statočnosti, vnímavosti a ďalších vlastnostiach, ktoré prispievajú k víťaznému podnikaniu - , sú neoceniteľné. A to či už ste kreatívec na voľnej nohe, alebo riaditeľ v nadnárodnej firme.
David Brown moderuje populárne podcasty Business Wars a Business Wars Daily. Zároveň je bývalým moderátorom programu o biznise Marketplace, ktorý získal ocenenie Peabody Award (čo je národná cena, ktorá sa udeľuje novinárom z elektronických a online médií). Brown pôsobí na pozícii novinára v rádiu už viac ako tri desaťročia. Vyhral viaceré ocenenia za reportáže a komentáre z oblasti biznisu, politiky a medzinárodných vzťahov. Má akademický titul PhD. zo žurnalistiky z University of Texas v Austine a titul doktor práv (JD) získal na Lee University School of Law vo Washingtone. Často sa pre médiá vyjadruje k otázkam z oblasti podnikania a médií, prispieval do relácie All Things Considered vysielanej na National Public Radio (NPR) a tiež do relácie Power Lunch televíznej stanice CNBC. S manželkou a dvomi deťmi žije v Austine v severoamerickom štáte Texas.
