Hyperfocus
A practical guide to managing your attention - the most powerful resource you have to become more creative, get stuff done, and live a more meaningful life
'The best productivity plans call for strategy, not just hacks or tactics-and Hyperfocus gives you strategy in spades. When you read this book, get ready to do your most important work!' Chris Guillebeau
In Hyperfocus, you will learn:
- How working fewer hours can increase our productivity
- How drinking caffeine strategically instead of habitually gives us more energy
- How we get more done by making our work harder, not easier
- How we do our best creative work when we're the most tired
Our attention has never been as overwhelmed as it is today and we've never been so busy while accomplishing so little.
In Hyperfocus, the bestselling author of The Productivity Project provides profound insights into how we can best manage our attention. Chris Bailey reveals how the brain switches between two mental modes - hyperfocus, our deep concentration mode, and scatterfocus, our creative, reflective mode - and how the surest path to being our most creative and efficient selves at work is to combine them both.

The 50 key modes, garments, and designers, each explained in half a minute! Even if you' re not a regular follower of Suzy Bubble, Le Happy, or The Sartorialist, you probably have some feeling for fashion. Most people have a vague idea of what' s in, what' s out, and what they might consider putting on their own backs. Less familiar to most, however, is the way fashion works as a global business - a multi-billion-pound industry, employing over 27 million people - just who decides what' s cutting edge and what' s long past its sell-by date. 30-Second Fashion offers an engrossing crash course to how the style world works today, alongside an engaging look at the founding fathers (and mothers) of fashion who set it up that way.

Jewellery From Art Nouveau to 3D Printing
Jewellery: From Art Nouveau to 3D Printing presents an extraordinary collection of jewels and jewelers from the start of the 20th century to the present day. The book is a global journey through taste and fashion, taking the reader from France to Russia, from the United States to Italy, from Britain to Germany and from the Netherlands to Scandinavia.
Conceived of as an ideal gallery of the masterpieces of 20th-century jewelry, this volume proceeds chronologically. It begins with the Art Nouveau masterpieces of Lalique, Vever and Fouquet, followed by the Art Deco elegance of Cartier, Boucheron, Tiffany, Mario Buccellati and Fabergé. After World War II, Van Cleef & Arpels and Bulgari's whimsical inventions of the 1950s share space with the designs of the Dutch avant-garde and the artist's jewels of the 1960s. The book closes with the new millennium, with the intermingling of art and design and the introduction of new technologies like 3D printing, wearable technology and new modes of distribution and communication.
A brilliant historical-critical essay by designer and academic Alba Cappellieri introduces the magnificent selection of pictures, and the objects are accompanied by thorough technical explanations and an exhaustive glossary. Beautifully produced and comprehensively researched, Jewellery: From Art Nouveau to 3D Printing promises to be an indispensable tool for the specialist, the collector and the jewelry-lover alike.

Mindenki más születésnapja
Mit csinálhat együtt a mókus és a hangya késő este? Természetesen pirosló cukorszirupot szürcsölnek, születésnapokról, tortákról, a Napról, a fenyőgyanta illatáról, a darumadárról és a nyárról beszélgetnek. Aki még nem hallotta a világszerte ismert holland író meséit, el sem tudja képzelni, hogy létezik egy különleges világ, ahol minden, de minden más. A sirály táncot lejt a tengerparton az ámbráscettel, a mókus pedig levelet ír magának, hogy emlékezzen rá: még nagyon sok olyan nap van, melyben sosem volt része. Megszámlálhatatlan sok!
50 válogatott mese a holland szerző tollából.
Fast Forward
These cars are futuristic, utopian, eccentric, and always ahead of their time. From models that were never presented to consumers to those produced as limited series, Fast Forward shows cars that pique people's interest and enthusiasm. From cars never shown to those models that see small production runs, Fast Forward presents vehicles that are just as much sculpture as automobile. Iconic winglets adorn models from the 50s. Automobiles of the 70s appear to be works of science fiction rather than modes of transportation. Classic interpretations and vintage prototypes that hinted at the future of yesteryear. Every decade has it own ideas of the future. The timeline of concept cars is narrated through an alluring pairing of project images and stories from inside studio walls. Designers discuss the catalysts behind their creations from the first scribble upon a blank page to a 3D model to the roadways. Fast Forward showcases the past, present, and, in the true spirit of concept cars, the future of this intriguing and diverse realm.

Virtual Weapon and International Order
An urgently needed examination of the current cyber revolution that draws on case studies to develop conceptual frameworks for understanding its effects on international order
The cyber revolution is the revolution of our time. The rapid expansion of cyberspace brings both promise and peril. It promotes new modes of political interaction, but it also disrupts interstate dealings and empowers non-state actors who may instigate diplomatic and military crises. Despite significant experience with cyber phenomena, the conceptual apparatus to analyze, understand, and address their effects on international order remains primitive. Here, Lucas Kello adapts and applies international relations theory to create new ways of thinking about cyber strategy.
Kello draws on a broad range of case studies, including the Estonian crisis, the Olympic Games operation against Iran, and the cyber attack against Sony Pictures. Synthesizing qualitative data from government documents, forensic reports of major incidents and interviews with senior officials from around the globe, this important work establishes new conceptual benchmarks to help security experts adapt strategy and policy to the unprecedented challenges of our times.

Thinking in services
Perhaps, as customers, or as service providers, we don’t understand services as much as we think we do.
Services are such integral parts of the daily of individuals and organizations that a day without paying for or providing them is inconceivable. They come in so many different “shapes and sizes”, we have difficulty defining them. Many are so intangible, always and everywhere, we don’t even realize they’re there until they fail.
The universe of services is expanding faster than ever creating new problem new kinds of services, and along with it, new modes of failure exposing us to unexpected costs and risks. Even simple services are dynamic and complex in the way supply meets demand to fulfill a promise. Therefore, when services fail to meet expectations because their design is simplistic or superficial, we’re even more disappointed.
This book is about having new eyes and new perspectives for exploring the universe of services, grasping their realities, and deepening our understanding of them; what services really are, what they could be, and why they even exist. Narrowing down on the true nature of services, broadens the possibilities for design.
With simple drawings, symbols, and a few extraordinary words, this book introduces the basis of a design language for services. Anyone can learn this language, with a little bit of curiosity, imagination, and quiet time. You do not need a degree in economics, biology, or computer science.

Akkor ezt a könyvet nektek találták ki!
Mit szólnátok, ha fognánk magunkat, és az EGÉSZ TELET megünnepelnénk? A karácsony még a nagymamákkal együtt is csak néhány napig tart, de annyi
sok téli nap van még előtte, és főleg utána! És azokon a napokon is történnek érdekes dolgok, amikről érdemes meséket olvasni. Begyújthatunk
a kisházban a kemencébe, elvihetjük a kutyánkat síelni, elővehetjük a kamrából a télire eltett kukacos almát. Készíthetünk interjút a
pingvinekkel, megkereshetjük Mókus Fülöp elkóborolt kesztyűjét, és ellátogathatunk a titkozatos képesboltba. Izgalmas kalandokat tartogatnak tehát a hosszú téli napok, sőt a karácsony sem mindig úgy sikerül, ahogy várjuk!
Ebben a könyvben olyan sok mese van, hogy egész télen lehet olvasgatni.

fedezzétek fel a 8 perces meséket! Ünnepeljétek az egész telet Marék Veronika, Berg Judit, Szabó T. Anna és még 16 nagyszerű kortárs magyar szerző meséivel!
Dubuffet Drawings, 1935–1962
Jean Dubuffet (1901–1985) achieved international recognition in the late 1940s for his paintings inspired by children’s drawings, the art of psychiatric patients, and graffiti. Drawing played a major role in the development of his art as he explored on paper new subjects and techniques, experimenting with nontraditional tools and modes of application. Despite his essential role in the postwar avant-garde and his continuous influence on the art of the following decades, Dubuffet has received less attention than other artists of his generation, such as Jackson Pollock or Willem de Kooning.
Dubuffet Drawings, 1935–1962 will be the first major museum exhibition devoted to works on paper by one of the most important French artists of the 20th century. Featuring more than one hundred drawings representing Dubuffet’s development during his most innovative decades – the 1940s and 1950s – the exhibition will include rarely seen works and major loans from public and private collections in the United States and France
