Venture Mindset


Ak chcete v konkurenčných časoch dosiahnuť veľký úspech, musíte myslieť inak. Musíte myslieť ako venture kapitalista. Venture investori sú známi svojou mimoriadnou schopnosťou odhaľovať vznikajúce trendy, identifikovať disruptívne nápady, správne sa rozhodovať v rizikových situáciách, prilákať talenty a tvoriť úplne nové podnikateľské odvetvia. Prosperujú, pretože sa orientujú tam, kde tradičné podnikanie blúdi. Ich jedinečný mindset z nich urobil hnaciu silu spoločností ako Amazon, Google, Moderna, SpaceX a Zoom, ktoré menia svet. Profesor Stanfordovej univerzity Ilya Strebulaev a tvorca venture kapitálu a technologický manažér Alex Dang posledné dve desaťročia do hĺbky študovali, prečo sú venture investori a lídri zameraní na rizikový kapitál takí úspešní v zavádzaní inovácií do všetkých oblastí, v ktorých pôsobia. Na základe svojich poznatkov predstavujú v knihe Venture mindset deväť princípov inšpirovaných spôsobom myslenia, ktorý je bežný vo venture kapitálovom svete, napríklad - Zhodnite sa na tom, že sa nezhodnete, Stavte na džokeja, Zdvojnásobte stávku alebo odíďte či Zväčšite koláč. Poskytujú tak nový mentálny model – investičný mindset, ktorý lídrom pomáha vytvoriť a rozvíjať silný zdroj nových nápadov, robiť inteligentnejšie a rýchlejšie rozhodnutia a prinášať investorom väčšiu hodnotu vo veľkom meradle. Kniha Venture Mindset, plná vedecky exaktných dát aj zábavných príbehov je povinným čítaním pre každého, kto sa chce lepšie pripraviť na éru neistoty, keď sa priemysel, spoločnosti aj kariéra môžu zo dňa na deň zásadným spôsobom zmeniť. Venture Mindset vás naučí viac, ako len takéto zmeny prežiť. Naučí vás, nielen to ako dosahovať skutočne veľké víťazstvá.

Dirty Dancing


"Despite being the world's most reluctant Irish dancing correspondent, Ellen Coyne has done a remarkable job delving into the murky world of feis fixing. Dirty Dancing is a fascinating exposé on the history and crazy controversies behind one of Ireland's greatest cultural assets and exports. Irish dancing has become part of Ireland's soft power thanks to the success of Riverdance, but it has been dogged by scandals involving sex, lies and feis fixing. Coyne hits all the right beats in what is a cautionary tale for those who might find themselves becoming an overzealous pushy parent of an Irish dancer." Mark Tighe From the outside, Irish dancing seems like a wholesome world of dazzling costumes, intricate footwork and groomed hair. The sport and art form, made world-famous by the smash hit Riverdance, is an instantly recognisable part of Irish culture. But when we pull back the curtain, we discover that Irish dancing also has a dark side … Following a whistle-blower email, journalist Ellen Coyne found herself plunged into the cut-throat side of competitive Irish dancing. What Ellen discovered, and reveals in extensive and explosive detail, is that the picture-perfect world of Irish dancing has operated for years within a toxic environment of bitter rivalries, allegations of competition fixing accusations and even more serious rumours that swirl around some of the most high-profile dancing competitions in the world. From feis fixing to false allegations, why are the dancehalls across this island such a hotbed for malicious conspiracy? And what next for a world steeped in tradition and global success yet mired in controversy?

30-dňová cesta dcéry Kráľa


Mala si niekedy pocit, že v živote nevieš nájsť svoje miesto? Možno sa všemožne snažíš ustáť všetky roly, do ktorých ťa život postavil, ale stále cítiš prázdnotu a nedostatok radosti, hoci sa zdá, že je zdanlivo všetko v poriadku. Možno sa pokúšaš o dokonalosť aj vo vzťahu s Bohom, no aj táto oblasť prehlbuje tvoju prázdnotu a pocit zlyhania, že nie si „dosť“ ani vo vzťahu s ním. Aj my sme prešli touto púšťou (a občas ňou nanovo prechádzame). Cesta, ktorú nám ale Otec ukázal, je tá, s ktorou sa chceme v tejto knihe podeliť. Pochopili sme, že namiesto toho, aby sme snažili o dokonalosť v role manželky, matky, služobníčky (či akejkoľvek inej), musíme pochopiť, čo znamená byť dcérou. Ak chceme žiť naplno vzťah s Otcom, musíme pochopiť, čo znamená byť dieťaťom, ktoré mu úplne dôveruje. Vo všetkom. A to je cesta. Cesta odovzdanosti, ktorá sa nezrodí zo dňa na deň. Potrebujeme po nej kráčať, často odumierať sebe a svojim predstavám, dovoliť Bohu premieňať naše zmýšľanie a náš pohľad, aby sme videli veci a situácie vo svojom živote tak, ako ich vidí on. Po tejto ceste stále kráčame a túžime ťa na ňu pozvať, aby si kráčala s nami. Počas týchto tridsiatich dní možno nájdeš smer a inšpiráciu, ako ísť vpred. Táto útla knižočka predkladá témy, ktoré ti otvoria mnohé ďalšie – tie, čo sa ťa týkajú veľmi osobne a konkrétne. Kniha je rozdelená do troch častí: Zanechaj Spoznaj Začni žiť! V prvej odhalíme klamstvá a nástrahy, ktoré nám bránia v osobnom napredovaní, v druhej sa zameriame na to, kým je náš Otec, a v tretej ponúkneme praktické tipy, ako tieto pravdy zakomponovať do života a začať ich žiť. Symbol, ktorý ťa bude v tejto knihe sprevádzať, je motýľ. Je to stvorenie, ktoré žije na zemi, je s ňou priamo späté, a zároveň má schopnosť lietať a hľadieť na svet z Božej perspektívy. Jeho jedinečnosť a krása je nesmiernym obohatením tohto sveta. Pozrieme sa na etapy jeho vývoja, ktoré veľmi špecificky prehĺbia chápanie jednotlivých etáp cesty, ktorú potrebujeme prejsť v putovaní za Otcom. Veríme, že táto kniha bude sprievodcom – priateľkou, s ktorou budeš môcť kráčať vpred. Modlíme sa, aby si aj vďaka nej spoznala, aká si vzácna a nesmierne dôležitá v Otcovom pláne. A uprostred toho, aká milovaná si ním, Kráľom celého stvorenstva! Pretože si jeho... JEHO DCÉRA!

Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office


We've leaned in, we've girl bossed, we've untamed, and it's still challenging to be a woman at work. Though the workplace looks different than it did twenty years ago, women still face considerable challenges that men do not. In this new 3rd edition of The New York Times bestseller Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office, Dr. Lois P. Frankel teaches you how to reject the "nice girl" mentality, which manifests as a distinctive set of behaviors learned in girlhood that ultimately sabotage you as an adult, and still exists in today's modern workplace. Dr. Frankel provides tools and guidance for eliminating these unconscious mistakes that could be holding you back in your career. Mistakes such as: • Mistake #4: Believing Negative Self-Talk. Counter negative messages with positive ones. • Mistake #26: Fear of Coming Across too Strong. Don't dumb down, shut down, or tone down--be assertive! • Mistake #55: Poor Boundaries. If you're going to work from home, set boundaries. • Mistake #85: Doing Instead of Leading. Picking up others' slack becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. You have the power to take control of your career without being controlling, to speak your mind while still being respected, and to chase your ambitions without fear or shame.

Bloodfeud in Scotland 1573-1625


Feuding had an effect on the history of most of Europe. Scotland provides a fascinating focus for the study of the bloodfeud because feuding survived until remarkably late there, and thus is much better documented than in other European societies. This examination of the Scottish evidence shows its relevance to the wider European community to which the Scots belonged, reveals much about the nature of the bloodfeud in general, and explores the changes in society which at last brought about its suppression. The bloodfeud has been the subject of anthropological rather than historical investigation, partly because it largely disappeared at an early stage in the development of literacy in Europe and has never been a fashionable research topic for historians. In this study of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century feud in Scotland, Keith Brown focuses on its context in society, politics and the ideology that served to uproot the tradition. The book will be of value to historians of many different cultures and periods.

Archaeological Excavations at Irmis Rka: An Investigation of a Multi-Layered Settlement in Southwest Georgia


This volume presents the results of the 2020 season excavations conducted by the Georgian National Museum at the multi-layered settlement of Irmis Rka, located in the Samtskhe-Javakheti province in southwest Georgia. Excavations on the site have confirmed the presence of pits and domestic architecture from the Early Bronze Age Kura-Araxes Culture, as well as deposits of the subsequent Bedeni Culture, along with abundant related materials. The site reveals signs of occupation during the Late Bronze-Early Iron Age, with evidence of fortification and various artefacts. Additionally, medieval activities have been documented. The site demonstrates the full evolution of the Kura-Araxes tradition, offering perspectives to illustrate its gradual changes and development. One of the site's most significant aspects is the presence of the Bedeni culture, marking its first appearance in this area. While excavations at Irmis Rka are ongoing, the results presented here contribute new data to a wide range of discussions.

Ballot


Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. Ballot examines the psychological, cultural, and political significance of voting in an increasingly anti-voting climate. Armed with her personal experiences as a poll worker, electoral organizer, and activist, Anjali Enjeti unspools a timely narrative about the precarious state of the ballot during one of the most tumultuous political eras in US history, and recounts the astonishing events leading up to the 2024 presidential election. Enjeti lays out the growing challenges for voters in battleground states, where rightwing legislatures have introduced staggering numbers of voter suppression bills and redrawn district lines, all to disenfranchise as many Black and other marginalized voters as possible. As her account of the history and stakes of election integrity shows, the aftershocks of the Capitol insurrection on January 6, 2021 have manifested most egregiously on the four corners of the ballot.

Good Girl Syndrome


I've always been told that if I was good, I'd attract good things. So then, why am I unhappy? From a young age, women are taught to put everyone else first. The result? A society full of 'Good Girls', pushing themselves to meet expectations while ignoring their own needs. But it doesn't have to be this way. In this whip-smart and empowering book, psychotherapist Marta Martinez Novoa explains that people pleasing is not a personality failing, but a common response to trauma - an instinct to become more appealing to a threat, and a way to feel safe. Taking you on a journey into your past, this book will help you understand why you feel the way you do in the present, and gives you practical tools to build a future where you feel bolder, safer and more confident in everything you do. If you're done being a people pleaser and ready to start living for you, this is your toolkit to wake up and finally take charge.

The Lordship of Galloway


In viewing Galloway from the wider context of the northern British mainland, Irish Sea and wider Hebridean zone, it has been possible to explore the dynamics of state-building, dynastic interactions, and the close inter-relationships of the territories connected by the western seaways, which most traditional ’national’ histories obscure. From this wider perspective, the development of the lordship of Galloway can be considered in the context of the spreading power and regional rivalries of English, Irish and Scottish kings, and a reassessment of the emergence of the unitary lordship controlled by Fergus of Galloway and his family. Traditional interpretations of the relationship of Fergus and his successors with the kings of England and Scotland are challenged and new light is thrown on the beginnings of the processes of progressive domination of Galloway by, and integration into, the kingdom of the Scots. The end of the autonomous lordship in the 1230s is projected against the backdrop of the aggressive state-building activities of King Alexander II and the transformation of its rulers from independently minded princes and warlords into Anglo-Scottish barons.

Nourishing Networks


For much of the Crescent City''s history, days began with the cries of roaming street vendors and the percussive thwack of butchers'' meat cleavers echoing out from the municipal markets. Generations of New Orleanians--Black and white, enslaved and free, men and women, wealthy and working class--gathered in public to feed the city. In Nourishing Networks, historian Ashley Rose Young illuminates the central role of food in shaping the vibrant culture of New Orleans. While the city''s dynamic culinary scene fostered bonds between some communities, under the surface, groups viciously vied for control over who bought and sold food and where they could do it. Young traces the intricate systems of food vendors and their customers, and how those relationships were affected by race, gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. She shows how vendors and customers alike exercised considerable influence over the city''s food economy and the laws that regulated it by negotiating prices, shaping taste preferences, liaising with government officials, and even openly defying ordinances they felt were unfair. The power each group gained and lost determined the success of their businesses, the well-being of their families, and their ability to shape food retail and local laws to meet their needs.Nourishing Networks vividly depicts a city that throughout its history has struggled to feed its population safely and affordably, and in documenting those challenges, it offers lessons for building a better food future.

The Nonprofit Crisis


A bracing look at what''s gone wrong in American nonprofits--and how it might be fixed.We rely on nonprofits every day to feed the hungry, care for the sick, and perform a host of other essential work, but American nonprofits have been under siege in recent years. Attacked by the left (for being part of the "nonprofit industrial complex") and the right (for advancing a "woke" agenda), nonprofits have also faced a serious threat from within: a rising generation of staffers who expect their employers to share their social justice convictions.In The Nonprofit Crisis, Greg Berman takes an in-depth look at the challenges faced by American nonprofits in the years since Donald Trump''s first election. It highlights the very real problems that have plagued the nonprofit sector and shows how some organizations have lost their way during the culture wars. Berman, an award-winning nonprofit executive, argues that if nonprofit leaders cannot figure out a way to handle the challenges of racial justice, the generational divide, and political polarization effectively, we are doomed to a future of declining public trust in some of our most important American institutions. The Nonprofit Crisis offers nonprofits, and those that care about them, a way forward in trying times.

Arisaig and Morar


Arisiag and Morar, Norse and Gaelic, the 'river-mouth bay' and the 'great water', part of na garbh Chriochan (The Rough Bounds), an area so rugged and desolate it was itself known as the Highlands of the Highlands. From Borrodale (fort-dale) to Kilmory (Maelrubha's chapel), from Druimindarroch (oak-tree ridge) to Eireagoraidh (shieling-corrie), the place-names echo the story of the landscape. This harsh environment was at the heart of the old Macruari and Clanranald estate; this was where Bonnie Prince Charlie first landed and last departed, where fugitive Jacobites skulked and languished, where the great poet Alexander Macdonald breathed his last lines, and whence the sail-ships Jane, Lucy and British Queen carried so many hopes to the New World. Where, despite clearance and emigration, potato blight and deer forest, poverty and hardship, a new road and railway were eventually driven, a fishing industry flourished, and where communities survived.

Highland Homespun


In May 1933 Margaret Leigh took over the tenancy of Achnabo farm, in a beautiful corner of the West Highlands overlooking the isle of Skye. In this unsentimental yet exquisitely written book, she recounts a year of farming life there, from the burning of the land and ploughing in March, through planting and sowing in April to haymaking and harvesting in September. Incidental details – such as a visit to the smithy, the arrival of some new bulls and the annual journey of the cows to the summer shielings – provide fascinating insights into farming life. Local characters and customs feature too, adding another rich dimension to this reflective and poignant memoir of a world now vanished forever.
