Futureproof
A New York Times bestselling author and tech columnist's counter-intuitive guide to staying relevant - and employable - in the machine age by becoming irreplaceably human.
It's not a future scenario any more. We've been taught that to compete with automation and AI, we'll have to become more like the machines themselves, building up technical skills like coding. But, there's simply no way to keep up. What if all the advice is wrong? And what do we need to do instead to become futureproof?
We tend to think of automation as a blue-collar phenomenon that will affect truck drivers, factory workers, and other people with repetitive manual jobs. But it's much, much broader than that. Lawyers are being automated out of existence. Last year, JPMorgan Chase built a piece of software called COIN, which uses machine learning to review complicated contracts and documents. It used to take the firm's lawyers more than 300,000 hours every year to review all of those documents. Now, it takes a few seconds, and requires just one human to run the program. Doctors are being automated out of existence, too. Last summer, a Chinese tech company built a deep learning algorithm that diagnosed brain cancer and other diseases faster and more accurately than a team of 15 top Chinese doctors.
Kevin Roose has spent the past few years studying the question of how people, communities, and organisations adapt to periods of change, from the Industrial Revolution to the present. And the insight that is sweeping through Silicon Valley as we speak -- that in an age dominated by machines, it's human skills that really matter - is one of the more profound and counter-intuitive ideas he's discovered. It's the antidote to the doom-and-gloom worries many people feel when they think about AI and automation. And it's something everyone needs to hear.
In nine accessible, prescriptive chapters, Roose distills what he has learned about how we will survive the future, that the way to become futureproof is to become incredibly, irreplaceably human.

Začínam strihať: Dinosaury
Učiť sa strihať a vystrihovať je zábava, ale nejaký čas trvá, kým si deti osvoja správnu techniku, zručnosť a dostatočne sa u nich vyvinie koordinácia oka a ruky. Detské ruky sa čoskoro unavia a pozornosť opadne, preto ich treba povzbudzovať a aktivity urobiť zábavné a hravé. Tento pracovný zošit obsahuje rady, ako zaobchádzať s nožnicami a správne strihať, a obrázky, pri ktorých sa postupne zvyšuje obťažnosť vystrihovania. Obrázky dinosaurov a prehistorických tvorov si deti najprv vyfarbia a po vystrihnutí sa dá s nimi hrať, učiť sa nové slová, využiť ako ozdobu či ako bábky na hranie.

Életmentő izom
Lakatos Péter, ahogy korábbi könyveiben, ezúttal is arra keresi a választ, miképp találjunk kiutat mind modern, mozgásszegény életmódunk, mind a fitnesz- és diétaipar útvesztőiből. A főszerep ezúttal az erőedzésé, amely a közhiedelemmel ellentétben legföljebb akkor veszélyes, ha hanyagoljuk. A szerző a legfrissebb kutatásokra alapozva mutatja be, miért érdemes belevágnod az izomtömeg-növelésbe, hogy búcsút inthess a derékfájásnak, az aggasztó vércukorértékeknek vagy a memóriád romlásának, és abban is segít, miképp változtass szokásaidon. Légy erős - és maradj kortalanul egészséges!
LAKATOS PÉTER StrongFirst Master-oktató, Carlson Gracie Jiu Jitsu fekete öves gyakorló. Harminc éve oktat fitnesszel, légzéssel és mozgással kapcsolatos szakmai programok keretében itthon és külföldön egyaránt. A Ground Force Method megalkotója, krav maga mester, számos kiváló szakkönyv szerzője.
Szeretnél fittebben élni, de minden motivációd elveszi a kalóriaszámolgatás, a nyúleledelek rágcsálása és a teljesíthetetlenül pörgős kardioedzések? Nem jönnek az eredmények, sehol egy haskocka vagy domborodó bicepsz, talán még híztál is?
Ha úgy gondolod, hogy az erős, szálkás test az izomagyúak kiváltsága, akik súlyos árat fizetnek fizikumukért, tévedsz. Lakatos Péter, a nagy sikerű Kortalanul! és Illesztési hiba című könyvek szerzője határozottan állítja, hogy valamennyien mozgásra és szunnyadó erőnk kibontakoztatására születtünk - csupán a környezet, amelyben élünk, fokozatosan lenevelt minket róla.
Jelen civilizációnk messzire szakadt attól a világtól, amelyre eredetileg terveztek bennünket. Bőséggel el vagyunk látva táplálékkal, mégis folyton éhezünk. Pihe-puha ágyunk van, de képtelenek vagyunk kipihenni magunkat. Észre sem vesszük, és kapkodjuk a levegőt az állandó stressztől. Emelnünk, húznunk, tolnunk, kúsznunk, másznunk, izzadnunk kellene, ehelyett egész nap képernyők előtt gubbasztunk. Minden külső hatás ellenünk dolgozik.

Světlo v plameni
Pravda o Seřině plánu vyšla najevo a narušila křehkou důvěru mezi ní a Nyktem. Teď musí udělat všechno, aby zničila Kolise, falešného krále bohů. Nyktos má ale svůj vlastní plán a Sera si nemůže dovolit zamilovat se do zmučeného prvotního boha smrti. Vzpomínek na jejich společnou rozkoš se ale nelze jen tak zbavit. Když je oba Kolis povolá ke svému dvoru, objeví se zcela nové riziko. Prvotní síla života v Seře roste a bez Nyktovy lásky své povznesení nepřežije. Čas se krátí. Jak pro ni, tak pro celé říše.
13 Things That Don't Make Sense
The Most Intriguing Scientific Mysteries of Our Time
Science starts to get interesting when things don't make sense. Even today there are experimental results that the most brilliant scientists can neither explain nor dismiss. In the past, similar anomalies have revolutionised our world: in the sixteenth century, a set of celestial irregularities led Copernicus to realise that the Earth goes around the sun and not the reverse. In 13 Things That Don't Make Sense Michael Brooks meets thirteen modern-day anomalies that may become tomorrow's breakthroughs. Is ninety six percent of the universe missing? If no study has ever been able to definitively show that the placebo effect works, why has it become a pillar of medical science? Was the 1977 signal from outer space a transmission from an alien civilization? Spanning fields from chemistry to cosmology, psychology to physics, Michael Brooks thrillingly captures the excitement and controversy of the scientific unknown.

Hot Spot 2 Activity Book
Hot Spot is a new course that identifies with the 'betweenagers' 10-14 age group. Fun and engaging, it makes the most of the growing identity of the young teenager through motivating texts and stories and lively illustrations and photography. Each book contains seven theme-based modules each made up of three double-page presentation lessons, a cross-cultural or cross-curricular integrated skills lesson, a 'can do' review section, and a fun 'extra special' lesson to end with. The course has a transparent grammar syllabus which progresses steadily throughout the course, encouraging a discovery approach before practising and then personalising the grammar. There is a balance of skills work through the lessons, and the four skills are practised in the integrated skills lesson which focuses on a cultural or cross-curricular aspect of the module theme. Providing a focus on the UK and other English-speaking countries, Hot Spot offers a wealth of culturally rich content that will interest and motivate young teenagers learning English.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Charlie is a freshman. And while he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. Shy, introspective, intelligent beyond his years yet socially awkward, he is a wallflower, caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it. Charlie is attempting to navigate his way through uncharted territory: the world of first dates and mixed tapes, family dramas and new friends; the world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite. But Charlie can't stay on the sideline forever. Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a deeply affecting coming-of-age story that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up.
Make It Stick
To most of us, learning something "the hard way" implies wasted time and effort. Good teaching, we believe, should be creatively tailored to the different learning styles of students and should use strategies that make learning easier. Make It Stick turns fashionable ideas like these on their head. Drawing on recent discoveries in cognitive psychology and other disciplines, the authors offer concrete techniques for becoming more productive learners.
Memory plays a central role in our ability to carry out complex cognitive tasks, such as applying knowledge to problems never before encountered and drawing inferences from facts already known. New insights into how memory is encoded, consolidated, and later retrieved have led to a better understanding of how we learn. Grappling with the impediments that make learning challenging leads both to more complex mastery and better retention of what was learned.
Many common study habits and practice routines turn out to be counterproductive. Underlining and highlighting, rereading, cramming, and single-minded repetition of new skills create the illusion of mastery, but gains fade quickly. More complex and durable learning come from self-testing, introducing certain difficulties in practice, waiting to re-study new material until a little forgetting has set in, and interleaving the practice of one skill or topic with another. Speaking most urgently to students, teachers, trainers, and athletes, Make It Stick will appeal to all those interested in the challenge of lifelong learning and self-improvement.
My Year of Rest and Relaxation
A shocking, hilarious and strangely tender novel about a young woman’s experiment in narcotic hibernation, aided and abetted by one of the worst psychiatrists in the annals of literature. Our narrator has many of the advantages of life, on the surface. Young, thin, pretty, a recent Columbia graduate, she lives in an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan paid for, like everything else, by her inheritance. But there is a vacuum at the heart of things, and it isn’t just the loss of her parents in college, or the way her Wall Street boyfriend treats her, or her sadomasochistic relationship with her alleged best friend. It’s the year 2000 in a city aglitter with wealth and possibility; what could be so terribly wrong?
This story of a year spent under the influence of a truly mad combination of drugs, designed to heal us from our alienation from this world, shows us how reasonable, even necessary, that alienation sometimes is. Blackly funny, both merciless and compassionate – dangling its legs over the ledge of 9/11 – this novel is a showcase for the gifts of one of America’s major young writers working at the height of her powers.

Beyond Order
The long-awaited sequel to 12 RULES FOR LIFE, which has sold more than five million copies around the world
In 12 Rules for Life, acclaimed public thinker and clinical psychologist Jordan B. Peterson offered an antidote to the chaos in our lives: eternal truths applied to modern anxieties. His insights have helped millions of readers and resonated powerfully around the world.
Now in this much-anticipated sequel, Peterson goes further, showing that part of life's meaning comes from reaching out into the domain beyond what we know, and adapting to an ever-transforming world. While an excess of chaos threatens us with uncertainty, an excess of order leads to a lack of curiosity and creative vitality. Beyond Order therefore calls on us to balance the two fundamental principles of reality - order and chaos - and reveals the profound meaning that can be found on the path that divides them.
In times of instability and suffering, Peterson reminds us that there are sources of strength on which we can all draw: insights borrowed from psychology, philosophy, and humanity's greatest myths and stories. Drawing on the hard-won truths of ancient wisdom, as well as deeply personal lessons from his own life and clinical practice, Peterson offers twelve new principles to guide readers towards a more courageous, truthful and meaningful life.

THE BAHAIRAMANIAN CONNECTIONOn the other side of a wormhole connected to Japan is a fantasy world called the Holy Eldant Empire. A guy named Shinichi is the general manager of Amutech, a company established to foster cultural exchange – otaku culture, that is!

(Oh, and Amatena just happens to be Elvia’s sister.) Shinichi and the others have been secretly keeping in touch with Amatena and Clara, and are happy to help. But it so happens that just at that moment, cameras have become all the rage at the school Amutech runs. Can they keep their new visitors a secret from all those camera eyes? What about from the deadly pursuers who come from Bahairam to get the runaways back?!
