Illustration is applied imagination. But this book is not only about illustration, though it does contain illustrations-lots of them. But there's more. This book examines the profession of illustrator, from the vexing subject of money to the question of the right workplace. How do you get commissions? How do you negotiate successfully? What's a fair price? How do you handle the everyday routines involved in illustration work? And, of course, it presents a wide variety of illustra- tion techniques. In short, it makes an effort to enlighten, be useful and answer as many questions as possible. Its author does so, on the one hand, by offering more than twenty really useful tips for budding illustrators-for example, how to stop the fear that a blank page often inspires-and, on the other, by presenting the twenty-five most important illustration techniques in a practical way that awakens the reader's desire to learn more. As a parallel narrative accompanying the humorous texts, there are images by very different illustrators who work with a wide variety of techniques and styles. These pictures are diverse yet easy to compare, because they all show the same thing: a bird.

Horské strediská cestovného ruchu sú významnou súčasťou ponuky Slovenska na domácom aj zahraničnom trhu. Cestovný ruch sa v horských strediskách považuje za významný zdroj príjmov, tvorby pracovných miest, pridanej hodnoty a multiplikačného efektu, ktorý ovplyvňuje aj nadväzné a zabezpečujúce odvetvia. Z dôvodu vnímania predovšetkým pozitívnych ekonomických účinkov sa cestovný ruch rozvíja v horských strediskách väčšinou extenzívne a jeho cieľom je vybudovať atraktívnu infraštruktúru, zvyšovať počet návštevníkov, a tým aj príjmov, v mnohých prípadoch bez venovania pozornosti životnému prostrediu a miestnym obyvateľom. Cieľom monografie je preto preskúmať rozvoj cestovného ruchu v horských strediskách na Slovensku, rozpracovať predpoklady a navrhnúť koncepciu udržateľného rozvoja cestovného ruchu v horských strediskách. Monografia vychádza z podstaty udržateľného rozvoja cestovného ruchu, zameriava sa aj na prístupy medzinárodných organizácií a inštitúcií, identifikuje ich aktivity a projekty, ktoré vyvíjajú v snahe vysvetliť a zabezpečiť udržateľný rozvoj cestovného ruchu. Následne skúma horské strediská cestovného ruchu, vymedzuje ich charakteristické znaky, faktorovou a korelačnou analýzou pasportizuje slovenské horské strediská. Pozornosť venuje aj skúmaniu platného legislatívneho rámca, ktorý reguluje rozvoj cestovného ruchu v horských strediskách na Slovensku a v zahraničí. Na základe identifikovaných východísk a výsledkov analýz sú v monografii uvedené pozitívne aj negatívne účinky cestovného ruchu v horských strediskách, ako aj analýza modelu organizačnej štruktúry a postojov miestnych obyvateľov k rozvoju cestovného ruchu. Skúmanie dopĺňajú príklady dobrej praxe zabezpečovania udržateľného rozvoja cestovného ruchu v zahraničných horských strediskách, ktoré poskytujú návody, ako čo najlepšie aplikovať princípy udržateľného rozvoja do praxe a činnosti horských stredísk.

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'Kelton has succeeded in instigating a round of heretical questioning, essential for a post-Covid-19 world, where the pantheon of economic gods will have to be reconfigured' Guardian 'Stephanie Kelton is an indispensable source of moral clarity ... the truths that she teaches about money, debt, and deficits give us the tools we desperately need to build a safe future for all' Naomi Klein 'A rock star in her field' The Times 'This book is going to be influential' Financial Times Supporting the economy, paying for healthcare, creating new jobs, preventing the a climate apocalypse - vital challenges which inevitably raise the question: how can we pay for it? Stephanie Kelton shows how misguided this question really is by using the bold ideas of modern monetary theory (MMT), the radically different approach to using our resources to maximize our potential as a society. Everything that we've been led to believe about deficits and the role of money and government spending in the economy is wrong, especially the fear that deficits will endanger our long-term prosperity. Rather than asking the self-defeating question of how to pay for the crucial improvements our society needs, Kelton guides us to ask: which deficits actually matter? What is the best way to balance the risk of inflation against the benefits of a society that is more broadly prosperous, safer, cleaner, and secure? Kelton is the leading thinker and most visible public advocate of MMT - the most important idea about economics in decades - and delivers a fundamentally different, bold, new understanding for how to build a just and prosperous society. 'Game-changing ... Read it!' Mariana Mazzucato 'The best book on rethinking economics that anyone will find right now' Richard Murphy, Political Economist and author of The Joy of Tax 'A remarkable book both in content and timing. A 'must read' that is sure to influence many aspects of policymaking going forward' Mohamed El-Erian, chief economic advisor at Allianz

Kniha je v České republice unikátní svou tematikou. I přes stupňující se zájem vlády a Ministerstva zdravotnictví o kvalitu zdravotních služeb podobná monografie na našem trhu neexistuje. V současné době probíhá reforma psychiatrické péče a ze sdělovacích prostředků se stále častěji dozvídáme o nejrůznějších aspektech duševního zdraví. Odborná veřejnost vynakládá značné úsilí na destigmatizaci psychiatrie. Do středu zájmu se dostává též zásadní otázka kvality a bezpečí v této oblasti. Přitom psychiatrická péče zažívá mnohá příkoří a nepochopení ze strany široké veřejnosti i odborníků. Má velmi nejistý legislativní rámec a je značně podfinancována. A to i přesto, že spotřeba neuropsychofarmak vykazuje stoupající trend a lůžkové i ambulantní kapacity jsou naplněny. Nárůst počtu konzumentů péče s sebou přináší i zátěž ve formě žalob, kdy často jedinou oporou, která zdravotníkům zůstává, je řádně vedená dokumentace. Management rizik a sledování kvality zdravotní péče je důležitou součástí péče o psychiatrické pacienty. Stejně jako management nežádoucích událostí ve zdravotnictví je v současné době toto téma více než aktuální. S probíhající reformou psychiatrické péče souvisí právě otázka kvality a bezpečí v této oblasti.

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'Bill's passion for innovation and teamwork was a gift to Apple and the world. Trillion Dollar Coach has captured his tireless spirit so future generations can learn from one of our industry's greatest leaders' -TIM COOK, CEO, Apple 'Bill shared his wisdom generously, expecting nothing back but the joy he got from teaching others. I was privileged to have him as my coach for several years. Many times since then, when asked for advice by others, I think of Bill and try to live up to the example he set.' -SHERYL SANDBERG, COO, Facebook Bill Campbell played an instrumental role in the growth of several prominent companies, such as Google, Apple, and Intuit, fostering deep relationships with Silicon Valley visionaries, including Steve Jobs, Larry Page, and Eric Schmidt. In addition, this business genius mentored dozens of other important leaders on both coasts, from entrepreneurs to venture capitalists to educators to football players, leaving behind a legacy of growing companies, successful people, respect, friendship, and love after his death in 2016. Leaders at Google for over a decade, Eric Schmidt, Jonathan Rosenberg, and Alan Eagle experienced firsthand how the man fondly known as Coach Bill built trusting relationships, fostered personal growth - even in those at the pinnacle of their careers - inspired courage, and identified and resolved simmering tensions that inevitably arise in fast-moving environments. To honor their mentor and inspire and teach future generations, they have codified his wisdom in this essential guide. Based on interviews with over eighty people who knew and loved Bill Campbell, Trillion Dollar Coach explains the Coach's principles and illustrates them with stories from the many great people and companies with which he worked. The result is a blueprint for forward-thinking business leaders and managers that will help them create higher performing and faster moving cultures, teams, and companies. 'Whenever I have a tough decision to make, I think about Bill Campbell. What would Bill do? I owe him so much. He had a gift for helping people to realize their full potential and getting organizations to work well together. Trillion Dollar Coach does a great job of capturing what made Bill special to me and many others.' -SUSAN WOJCICKI, CEO, YouTube 'Whenever I saw Bill, he gave me great perspective about what really matters. At the end of the day, it's the people in your life. Bill had such strong principles around community and how to bring people together. We used those principles - detailed in Trillion Dollar Coach - to form the foundation of Google's leadership training, so all of our leaders can continue to learn from Bill.' -SUNDAR PICHAI, CEO, Google show less

Amazon is the business story of the decade. Jeff Bezos, the richest man on the planet, has built one of the most efficient wealth-creation machines in history. Like a giant squid, Amazon's tentacles are squeezing industry after industry and, in the process, upsetting the state of technology, the economy, job creation and society at large. So pervasive is Amazon's impact that business leaders in almost every sector need to understand how this force of nature operates and how they can respond to it. Saying you can ignore Jeff Bezos is equivalent to saying you could ignore Henry Ford or Steve Jobs in the early years of Ford and Apple. These titans monumentally changed how we do business, redefining the rules on a global scale. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is the new disruptor on the block. He has created a 21st century algorithm for business and societal disruption. He has turned the retail industry inside out, is swiftly dominating cloud computing, media and advertising, and now has his sights trained on every other domain where money changes hands and business is transacted. But the principles by which Bezos has achieved his dominance - customer obsession, extreme innovation and long-term management, all supported by artificial intelligence turning a virtuous-cycle 'flywheel' - are now being borrowed and replicated. 'Bezonomics' is for some a goldmine, for others a threat, for still others a life-shaping force, whether they're in business or not. Brian Dumaine's Bezonomics answers the fundamental question: how are Amazon and its imitators affecting the way we live, and what can we learn from them?

The world has changed more in the past 10 months than it has in the past ten years. We know that what worked in the past will not work in the future. If 2020 has taught us anything it's that you need to be a future-ready leader. But how? Based on exclusive interviews with over 140 of the world's top CEOs and a survey of nearly 14,000 people. The Future Leader uncovers the 9 most crucial skills and mindsets for leading in the future of work. There has been a lot written about leadership for the present day, but the world is changing quickly. What worked in the past won't work in the future. We need to know how to prepare leaders who can successfully navigate and guide us through the next decade and beyond. How is leadership changing, and why? How ready are leaders today for these changes? What should leaders do now? To answer these questions, Jacob interviewed over 140 CEOs from companies like Unilever, Mastercard, Best Buy, Oracle, Verizon, Kaiser, KPMG, Intercontinental Hotels Group, Yum! Brands, Saint-Gobain, Dominos, Philip Morris International, and over a hundred others. Jacob also partnered with Linkedin to survey almost 14,000 of their members around the globe to see how CEO insights align with employee perspectives The majority of the world's top business leaders that Jacob interviewed believe that while some core aspects of leadership will remain the same, such as creating a vision and executing on strategy, leaders of the future will need a new arsenal of skills and mindsets to succeed. What emerged from all of this research is the most accurate groundbreaking book on the future of leadership, which shares exclusive insights from the world's top CEOs and never before seen research. After reading it, you will: - Learn the greatest trends impacting the future of leadership and their implications - Understand the top skills and mindsets that leaders of the future will need to possess and how to learn them - Change your perception of who a leader is and what leadership means - Tackle the greatest challenges that leaders of the future will face - See the gap that exists between what CEOs identified versus what employees are actually experiencing - Become a future-ready leader This is the book that you, your team, and your organization must to read in order to lead in the future of work.

'The tech giants are far from perfect, but Always Day One reveals the inventive elements of their culture that entrepreneurs can and should learn from' Mark Cuban, serial entrepreneur, investor, and owner of the Dallas Mavericks At Amazon, 'Day One' is code for inventing like a startup with little regard for legacy. Day Two is, in Jeff Bezos's own words, is 'stasis, followed by irrelevance, followed by excruciating, painful decline, followed by death.' Most companies today are set up for Day Two. They build advantages and defend them fiercely rather than invent the future. But Amazon and fellow tech titans Facebook, Google, and Microsoft are operating in Day One: they prioritize reinvention over tradition and collaboration over ownership. Through 130 interviews with insiders, from Mark Zuckerberg to hourly workers, Always Day One reveals the tech giants' blueprint for sustainable success. Kantrowitz uncovers the engine propelling the tech giants' continued dominance at a stage when most big companies begin to decline. And he shows the way forward for everyone who wants to compete with, and beat, the titans.

We are entering what has often been described as the fourth industrial revolution. The power and influence that corporate institutions hold over wider society has reached new heights, as global brands and technological monopolies infiltrate every aspect of modern life. Many traditional organizations are unprepared for this changing world, as they fail to recognise the extent of the changes that are required to operate compete in the new digital world. With these cultural and technological shifts has also come a newfound focus on the distribution of information assets and human capital across the world, and in real-time. Share demonstrates the importance of developing new business models based on sharing, reciprocity and cooperation, as authors Chris Yates and Linda Jingfang Cai challenge corporate executives and institutional leaders to reconsider how their organizations may benefit from engaging more effectively with local communities and wider societies. Drawing upon a wide array of practical techniques, examples and case studies, Share offers a holistic approach to change, as it presents a new framework through which organizations can reimagine their practices and approaches to boost agility and become a competitive yet cooperative force in the 21st century.

A refreshing approach to entrepreneurship centered on staying small and avoiding growth - maximizing happiness, sustainability and profitability. Paul Jarvis left the corporate world when he realized that working in a high-pressure, high-profile world was not his idea of success. Instead, he now works for himself out of his home, and lives a much more rewarding and productive life. He no longer has to contend with an environment that constantly demands more productivity, more output and more growth. In Company of One, Jarvis explains how you can do the same, including: * Planning to set up * Determining desired revenues * Keeping clients happy * And, of course, doing all this on your own. "Jarvis makes a compelling case for making your business better instead of bigger. A must-read for any entrepreneur who prioritizes a rich life over riches." -CAL NEWPORT, bestselling author of DEEP WORK and DIGITAL MINIMALISM "You're not a machine, so why would you run your business like one? Company of One shows you another way. If you've ever wondered how to have a business that works for you-instead of the other way around-you need this book." -CHRIS GUILLEBEAU, bestselling author of SIDE HUSTLE and THE $100 STARTUP

We work feverishly to make ourselves happy. So why are we so miserable? This manifesto helps us break free of our unhealthy devotion to efficiency and shows us how to reclaim our time and humanity with a little more leisure. 'This book is so important and could truly save lives . . . With intelligence and compassion, Headlee presents realistic solutions for how we can reclaim our health and our humanity from a technological revolution that seems hell-bent on destroying both. I'm so grateful to have read this book. It delivers on its promise of a better life' - Elizabeth Gilbert, bestselling author of Big Magic and Eat, Pray, Love Despite our constant search for new ways to 'hack' our bodies and minds for peak performance, human beings are working more instead of less, living harder not smarter, and becoming more lonely and anxious. We strive for the absolute best in every aspect of our lives, ignoring what we do well naturally. Why do we measure our time in terms of efficiency instead of meaning? Why can't we just take a break? In Do Nothing, award-winning journalist Celeste Headlee illuminates a new path ahead, seeking to institute a global shift in our thinking so we can stop sabotaging our well-being, put work aside and start living instead of doing. The key lies in embracing what makes us human: our creativity, our social connections (Instagram doesn't count), our ability for reflective thought, and our capacity for joy. Celeste's strategies will allow you to regain control over your life and break your addiction to false efficiency, including: -Increase your time perception and determine how your hours are being spent. -Stop comparing yourself to others. -Invest in quality idle time. Take a hot bath and listen to music. -Spend face-to-face time with friends and family It's time to recover our leisure time and reverse the trend that's making us all sadder, sicker, and less productive.

'A brilliant new book' Daily Telegraph 'Well written . . . and often entertaining' The Times 'A sparkling analysis' Prospect 'Entertaining and enlightening . . . This is a necessary critique and they make it with verve, knowledge and a wealth of stories' Financial Times 'An elegant, wise and timely book' Irish Times 'Jam-packed with erudition' New Statesman This major, critically acclaimed work asks a vitally important question for today: when uncertainty is all around us, and the facts are not clear, how can we make good decisions? We do not know what the future will hold, particularly in the midst of a crisis, but we must make decisions anyway. We regularly crave certainties which cannot exist and invent knowledge we cannot have, forgetting that humans are successful because we have adapted to an environment that we understand only imperfectly. Throughout history we have developed a variety of ways of coping with the radical uncertainty that defines our lives. This incisive and eye-opening book draws on biography, history, mathematics, economics and philosophy to highlight the most successful - and most short-sighted - methods of dealing with an unknowable future. Ultimately, the authors argue, the prevalent method of our age falls short, giving us a false understanding of our power to make predictions, leading to many of the problems we experience today.

The problems of today's Europe can be traced directly to the rewriting of the "rules of the economic game" that has taken place over several decades under the strong influence of neoliberalism. If Europe is to return to the innovative and dynamic economy it once had-and if there is to be shared prosperity, social solidarity and justice across Europe-the rules must be rewritten once again. With the Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS), Joseph E. Stiglitz lays out comprehensive programmes and policies designed to relieve the suffering of Europeans and restore a prosperous and equitable European Union.

STOP READING THE NEWS is a vital toolkit for managing the upsetting coronavirus news cycle and finding equilibrium and calm at a time of chaos and uncertainty In 2013 Rolf Dobelli stood in front of a roomful of journalists and proclaimed that he did not read the news.

In a world of increasing disruption and division, Stop Reading the News is a welcome voice of calm and wisdom.
