Mortal Secrets
Like Sarah Bakewell's How to Live and Andrea Wulf's Magnificent Rebels, Mortal Secrets is a lively and accessible portrait of a major figure - Sigmund Freud - and the unprecedented era of creativity that shaped his ideas
Some cities are like stars. When the conditions are right, they ignite, and they burn with such fierce intensity that they outshine all their rivals. From 1890 and through the early years of the 20th century, Vienna became a dazzling beacon. The city was powered by an unprecedented number of extraordinary people - artists Klimt and Schiele, thinkers such as Theodor Herzl, and fashion icons like the glamorous Empress Sisi. Conversations in coffee houses and salons spurred advances in almost every area of human endeavour: science, politics, philosophy, and the arts. The influence of early 20th century Vienna is still detectable all around us - but the place where it is at its strongest is in our heads. The way we think about ourselves has been largely determined by Vienna's most celebrated resident: Sigmund Freud. Mortal Secrets is the story of Freud's life, Vienna's golden age, and an essential reappraisal of Freud's legacy.

Túlélők
"A régi nemesség pozitívan reagált a bírálatokra - régi és új, kard és talár közötti különbség elhalványult. Aix-en-Provence egyetlen egységes elit uralma alá került, amely kifinomult volt, művelt és modern... Az egyes magyar társadalmi rétegek addig és annyiban befolyásolták a kormánypolitikát, ameddig és amennyiben "feudálisak" maradtak. A nemesi elit hatalmának alternatívája nem a polgárság uralma, hanem a tekintélyelvű hivatalállam volt..." Elitek túlélési stratégái a XVI-XX. század viharaiban.
A(z) Túlélők (Könyv) szerzője Volker Press, Donna Bohanan, Brendan Dooley, Lawrence Stone, William D. Rubinstein, Péter László.

The Book of Minds
Understanding the human mind and how it relates to the world that we experience has challenged philosophers for centuries. How then do we even begin to think about ‘minds’ that are not human?
Science now has plenty to say about the properties of mind. In recent decades, the mind – both human and otherwise – has been explored by scientists in fields ranging from zoology to astrobiology, computer science to neuroscience. Taking a uniquely broad view of minds and where they might be found – including in plants, aliens, and God – Philip Ball pulls these multidisciplinary pieces together to explore what sorts of minds we might expect to find in the universe. In so doing, he offers for the first time a unified way of thinking about what minds are and what they can do, arguing that in order to understand our own minds and imagine those of others, we need to move on from considering the human mind as a standard against which all others should be measured, and to think about the ‘space of possible minds’.
By identifying and mapping out properties of mind without prioritizing the human, Ball sheds new light on a host of fascinating questions. What moral rights should we afford animals, and can we understand their thoughts? Should we worry that AI is going to take over society? If there are intelligent aliens out there, how could we communicate with them? Should we? Understanding the space of possible minds also reveals ways of making advances in understanding some of the most challenging questions in contemporary science: What is thought? What is consciousness? And what (if anything) is free will?
The more we learn about the minds of other creatures, from octopuses to chimpanzees, and to imagine the potential minds of computers and alien intelligences, the greater the perspective we have on if and how our own is different. Ball’s thrillingly ambitious The Book of Minds about the nature and existence of minds is more mind-expanding than we could imagine. In this fascinating panorama of other minds, we come to better know our own.

Denim and Leather
In the late 1970s, aggressive, young bands are forming across Britain. Independent labels are springing up to release their music. But this isn't the story of punk. Forget punk. Punk was a flash in the pan compared to this. This is the story of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, a musical movement that changed the world.
From this movement - given the unwieldy acronym NWOBHM - sprang streams that would flow through metal's subsequent development. Without NWOBHM there is no thrash metal, no death metal, no black metal. Without the rise of Iron Maiden, NWOBHM's standard bearers, leading the charge to South America and to South Asia, metal's global spread is slower. Without the NWOBHM bands - who included Def Leppard, Motorhead, Judas Priest, Diamond Head and many others - the international uniform of heavy metal - the 'battle jacket' of a denim jacket with sleeves ripped off, and covered with patches (usually sewn on by the wearer's mum), worn over a leather biker jacket - does not exist: 'Denim and leather brought us all together,' as Saxon put it.
No book has ever gathered together all the principals of British heavy rock's most fertile period: Jimmy Page, Rick Allen, Michael Schenker, Robert John 'Mutt' Lange, Ritchie Blackmore, Rick Savage, Phil Collen, David Coverdale, Cronos, Biff Byford, Joe Elliott, Rob Halford, Ian Gillan, Phil Mogg, Robert Plant, Tony Wilson, Lars Ulrich, Pete Waterman to name a few.
In Denim and Leather, these stars tell their own stories - their brilliant, funny tales of hubris and disaster, of ambition and success - and chart how, over a handful of years from the late 1970s to the early 1980s, a group of unlikely looking blokes from the provinces wearing spandex trousers changed heavy music forever.
This is the definitive story about the greatest days of British heavy rock.

Világverseny a berekben
A könyv címe többféleképpen is értelmezhető, erre utal a két kötőjeles írásmód. Ha tehát titkos számítógépek történetét várja az Olvasó, éppúgy nem fog csalódni, mintha a számítógépek titkos történetét szeretné megismerni. E könyv célja ugyanis éppen az, hogy ne maradjanak örökre titokban a számolás �gépesítésének� kevesek által ismert, titkos vonulatai. Az eVilág Kiskönyvtár sorozat új kötetét bátran nevezhetjük hiánypótlónak, nemcsak mert eddig kevésbé ismert kísérletekről és eredményekről rántja le a leplet, hanem mert a számolás technikájának kétezer éves kronológiáját követi nyomon, a kínai maradéktételtől a holografikus memóriáig. E kísérletek részben megelőzték a közismert Neumann-féle számítógépek történetét, részben azzal párhuzamosan fejlődtek, a láthatatlan �színfalak mögött�, a rejtjelfejtés, vagy éppen a csendes magány titkos birodalmában. A történet ugyanis bizonyos ponton összefonódott a rejtjelfejtés próbálkozásaival, amelyek a titkosszolgálatok féltve őrzött kincseit képezve maradtak a XX. század rejtett tanúi. Így bontakozik ki e könyv lapjain egy napjainkig titokban, vagy éppen az elhallgatás homályában tartott számítógép-történet, amely talán teljesen megváltoztathatta volna a mai számítástechnika e-világunkat behálózó képét. A kötet tartalma ma már megismerhető tényekre épül, mégis megdöbbentő az a gondolatkísérlet, amelyre csábítja az Olvasót. Vajon milyen lenne (lehetne) e világunk, ha a titkos történet válik mindennapjaink valóságává, ha a Szilícium Völgyben D. N. Lehmer és fia D. H. Lehmer, vagy A. Turing korukat jóval megelőző konstrukcióira épülő csipek hódítják meg a világ egyik legnagyobb üzletágát? Vajon az az alapelveiben párhuzamos architektúra, amely akkor a számítógépek működésének természetes alapjává vált volna, ma milyen technikai korlátokat ostromolna? Vajon e merőben más számítógép-felépítés esetén, milyen távolságban lenne ma a mesterséges és a természetes intelligencia? A történet nyilvánosságra kerülése még indokoltabb, ha figyelembe vesszük, hogy 2002-ben volt Charles Babbage 210., Alan M. Turing 90., 2003-ban Blaise Pascal 380., Neumann János 100., 2004-ben pedig Norbert Wiener 110. születési évfordulója. Hiszen e mozaikokból válik érthetőbbé annak a számtalan kisebb-nagyobb óriásnak a szellemi nagysága, akiknek munkássága végül a XX. század kihívásaira adott napjainkig ható választ. A kötet tehát a �teljes információ� rögzítésének teljesíthetetlen igényével farag �holografikus szobrot� eme óriások tiszteletére.

The Customer-Funded Business - Start, Finance, or Grow Your Company with Your Customers' Cash
Who needs investors?
More than two generations ago, the venture capital community – VCs, business angels, incubators and others – convinced the entrepreneurial world that writing business plans and raising venture capital constituted the twin centerpieces of entrepreneurial endeavor. They did so for good reasons: the sometimes astonishing returns they've delivered to their investors and the astonishingly large companies that their ecosystem has created.
But the vast majority of fast-growing companies never take any venture capital. So where does the money come from to start and grow their companies? From a much more agreeable and hospitable source, their customers. That's exactly what Michael Dell, Bill Gates and Banana Republic's Mel and Patricia Ziegler did to get their companies up and running and turn them into iconic brands.
In The Customer Funded Business, best-selling author John Mullins uncovers five novel approaches that scrappy and innovative 21st century entrepreneurs working in companies large and small have ingeniously adapted from their predecessors like Dell, Gates, and the Zieglers:
- Matchmaker models (Airbnb)
- Pay-in-advance models (Threadless)
- Subscription models (TutorVista)
- Scarcity models (Vente Privee)
- Service-to-product models (GoViral)
Through the captivating stories of these and other inspiring companies from around the world, Mullins brings to life the five models and identifies the questions that angel or other investors will – and should! – ask of entrepreneurs or corporate innovators seeking to apply them. Drawing on in-depth interviews with entrepreneurs and investors who have actually put these models to use, Mullins goes on to address the key implementation issues that characterize each of the models: when to apply them, how best to apply them, and the pitfalls to watch out for.
Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur lacking the start-up capital you need, an early-stage entrepreneur trying to get your cash-starved venture into take-off mode, an intrapreneur seeking funding within an established company, or an angel investor or mentor who supports high-potential ventures, this book offers the most sure-footed path to starting, financing, or growing your venture.
John Mullins is the author of The New Business Road Test and, with Randy Komisar, the widely acclaimed Getting to Plan B.
