Ten Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World
Since the end of the Cold War, the world has been shaken to its core three times. 11 September 2001, the financial collapse of 2008 and - most of all - Covid-19. Each was an asymmetric threat, set in motion by something seemingly small, and different from anything the world had experienced before. Lenin is supposed to have said, 'There are decades when nothing happens and weeks when decades happen.' This is one of those times when history has sped up.
In this urgent and timely book, Fareed Zakaria, one of the 'top ten global thinkers of the last decade' (Foreign Policy), foresees the nature of a post-pandemic world: the political, social, technological and economic consequences that may take years to unfold. In ten surprising, hopeful 'lessons', he writes about the acceleration of natural and biological risks, the obsolescence of the old political categories of right and left, the rise of 'digital life', the future of globalization and an emerging world order split between the United States and China. He invites us to think about how we are truly social animals with community embedded in our nature, and, above all, the degree to which nothing is written - the future is truly in our own hands.
Ten Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World speaks to past, present and future, and will become an enduring reflection on life in the early twenty-first century.
Be Useful : Seven tools for life
The seven rules to follow to realize your true purpose in life-distilled by Arnold Schwarzenegger from his own journey of ceaseless reinvention and extraordinary achievement, and available for absolutely anyone.
The world's greatest bodybuilder. The world's highest paid movie star. The leader of the world's sixth largest economy.
That these are the same person sounds like the setup to a joke. But this is no joke. This is Arnold Schwarzenegger.
And this did not happen by accident.
Arnold's stratospheric success happened as part of a process. As the result of clear vision, big thinking, hard work, direct communication, resilient problem-solving, open-minded curiosity, and a commitment to giving back.
All of it guided by the one lesson Arnold's father hammered into him above all: be useful. As Arnold conquered every realm he entered, he kept his father's adage close to his heart.
Written with his uniquely earnest, blunt, powerful voice, BE USEFUL takes readers on an inspirational tour through Arnold's toolkit for a meaningful life.
Arnold shows us how to put those tools to work, in service of whatever fulfilling future we can dream up for ourselves. He brings his insights to vivid life with compelling personal stories, life-changing successes and life-threatening failures alike--some of them famous, some told here for the first time ever.
Too many of us struggle to disconnect from our self-pity and connect to our purpose. At an early age, Arnold forged the mental tools to build the ladder out of the poverty and narrow-mindedness of his rural Austrian hometown, tools he used to add rung after rung from there.
Now he has shared that wisdom with all of us. As he puts it, no one is going to come rescue you -- you only have yourself. The good news, it turns out, is that you are all you need.
Lou Reed: Waiting for the Man - Život a hudba
Doplněné a kompletně revidované vydání jedinečné Lou Reedovy biografie nabízí ucelený a zároveň detailní pohled na jeho hudbu a život.
Sám Reed knihu označil za nejlepší biografii, která o něm kdy vznikla.
Waiting For The Man vykresluje jednu z vůdčích osobností alternativní hudby, rockovou ikonu, která skrze své kontroverzní texty a typický garážový zvuk ovlivnila celé další směřování rockové hudební scény. Už v éře hippies vystupoval s nekompromisní až mystickou uzavřeností a odtažitostí. Jeho nezaměnitelný styl se pokoušely napodobit generace následovníků. Značně ovlivnil také český underground, několikrát navštívil ČR a přátelil se s Václavem Havlem.
Kniha sleduje celý Reedův život od úplných začátků ve skupině Velvet Underground přes více než 40letou sólovou dráhu, během které vystřídal nespočet různých poloh a zapsal se do historie jako jeden z nejoriginálnějších a těžko zařaditelných umělců.
This Girl - Ez a lány - Szívcsapás 3.
Colleen Hoover, New York Times bestseller író a viharos szerelemmel, szenvedéllyel és fájdalommal teli Szívcsapás-sorozattal számos olvasót ejtett rabul.
Miután Layken és Will szerelme a legnagyobb próbatételeket is kiállta, az immár házasságban élő fiatal pár végre kezdi biztonságban érezni magát a kapcsolatban.
De bármennyire is élvezi Layken az új, közös életüket, néhány kérdés nem hagyja nyugodni. Noha Will szeretné magában tartani a múlt fájdalmas emlékeit, Layken mindent tudni akar róla. Will végül beadja a derekát, és elmeséli a saját történetét, mely során felszínre kerülnek legbelsőbb érzelmei és gondolatai. Miközben újraéli jó és rossz pillanatait, a Laykennel való első találkozásáról is meglepő dolgok derülnek ki.
The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea - A lány, aki a tenger alá esett
A végzet nem téved.
Mina otthonát 100 éve viharok pusztítják. A Tengeristen dühös, és haragját csak igazi menyasszonya csillapíthatja.
A falu minden évben feláldoz egy lányt, hátha pont ő a vágyott menyasszony. Amikor Mina bátyjának szerelme, Sim Cshong kerül sorra, Mina feláldozza magát, és beugrik a vízbe a lány helyett. A Szellemek birodalmába kerül, ahol elképesztő kalandok várnak rá egy titokzatos lord és cimborái, démonok, istenek és istennők, szellemek és misztikus lények között.
A szerelem is megtalálja, ám nem a Tengeristen mellett. Vagy mégis? Vagy mégsem? A sors ahhoz köti, akihez tartozik.
