Believing he can help the residents of his new neighborhood, the impoverished Imperio section of L.A., Tony begins to rebuild his company and his life with the help of some new friends. Unfortunately for Stark, nothing happens in the City of Angels without the group of villains known as the Pride's consent. Knowing Iron Man is a threat to their criminal empire, they quickly target Stark for destruction! Outnumbered and outgunned, powerless and penniless, Tony Stark has everything to fi ght for and nothing to lose!

My Body
Emily Ratajkowski is an acclaimed model and actress, an engaged political progressive, a formidable entrepreneur, a global social media phenomenon, and now, a writer. Rocketing to world fame at age twenty-one, Ratajkowski sparked both praise and furor with the provocative display of her body as an unapologetic statement of feminist empowerment. The subsequent evolution in her thinking about our culture's commodification of women is the subject of this book.
My Body is a profoundly personal exploration of feminism, sexuality, and power, of men's treatment of women and women's rationalizations for accepting that treatment. These essays chronicle moments from Ratajkowski's life while investigating the culture's fetishization of girls and female beauty, its obsession with and contempt for women's sexuality, the perverse dynamics of the fashion and film industries, and the grey area between consent and abuse.
Nuanced, unflinching, and incisive, My Body marks the debut of a fierce writer brimming with courage and intelligence.
The Prospects of Industrial Civilization
First published in 1923, The Prospects of Industrial Civilization is considered the most ambitious of Bertrand Russell's works on modern society. It offers a rare glimpse into often-ignored subtleties of his political thought and in it he argues that industrialism is a threat to human freedom, since it is fundamentally linked with nationalism. His proposal for one government for the whole world as the ultimate solution, along with his argument that the global village and prevailing political democracy should be its eventual results, is both provocative and thoroughly engaging.

Shaping the Future of the Fourth Industrial Revolution
The Fourth Industrial Revolution is changing everything - from the way we relate to each other, to the work we do, the way our economies work, and what it means to be human. We cannot let the brave new world that technology is currently creating simply emerge. All of us need to help shape the future we want to live in.
But what do we need to know and do to achieve this? In Shaping the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Klaus Schwab explores how people from all backgrounds and sectors can influence the way that technology transforms our world. Drawing on contributions by more than 200 of the world's leading technology, economic and sociological experts to present a practical guide for citizens, business leaders, social influencers and policy-makers this book outlines the most important dynamics of the technology revolution, highlights important stakeholders that are often overlooked in our discussion of the latest scientific breakthroughs, and explores 12 different technology areas central to the future of humanity. Emerging technologies are not predetermined forces out of our control, nor are they simple tools with known impacts and consequences.
The exciting capabilities provided by artificial intelligence, distributed ledger systems and cryptocurrencies, advanced materials and biotechnologies are already transforming society. The actions we take today - and those we don't - will quickly become embedded in ever-more powerful technologies that surround us and will, very soon, become an integral part of us. By connecting the dots across a range of often-misunderstood technologies, and by exploring the practical steps that individuals, businesses and governments can take, Shaping the Fourth Industrial Revolution helps equip readers to shape a truly desirable future at a time of great uncertainty and change.
Steve Jobs
'This is a riveting book, with as much to say about the transformation of modern life in the information age as about its supernaturally gifted and driven subject' - Telegraph
Based on more than forty interviews with Steve Jobs conducted over two years - as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues - this is
the acclaimed, internationally bestselling biography of the ultimate icon of inventiveness. Walter Isaacson tells the story of the rollercoaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose
passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing.
Although Jobs cooperated with this book, he asked for no control over what was written, nor even the right to read it before it was published. He put nothing off limits. He encouraged the people he knew to speak
honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he worked with and competed against.
His friends, foes, and colleagues provide an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and the innovative products that resulted. And as Isaacson shows in a new afterword commemorating the tenth anniversary of Jobs's death, that vision
remains even more vital today.

Green Arrow 7 - Smrtící hlas lidu
Ve dne vystupuje jako bohatý lidumil, v noci se stává hrůzu nahánějícím strážcem zákona. Ale ať už tenhle hrdina jedná jako Oliver Queen, nebo jako Green Arrow, jeho cílem je vždy obecné blaho.
Ulicemi Seattlu se však prochází nový bojovník se zločincem a roznáší smrt. Ultrabohaté, jako je Oliver Queen, patřící k jednomu procentu těch nejmajetnějších, nemá v lásce. Říká si Občan a zaměřuje se na místní boháče a zkorumpované mocné. A teď si jako svůj další cíl vybral právě Ollieho.
Green Arrow je tak donucen vést válku na dvou frontách: jako Smaragdový střelec musí zachraňovat boháče před Občanem, ať už si to zaslouží, nebo ne, zatímco brání svůj vlastní odkaz jako předseda Queen Industries.
Záda mu kryjí jeho právnička Kate Spencerová a jeho partnerka Black Canary. Ale Lida spravedlnosti, Titání a Sebevražedný oddíl Amandy Wallerové mu chtějí položit své vlastní otázky. Mezitím se Občan připravuje na soudní proces století: lid versus Oliver Queen. A pokud bude obžalovaný shledán vinným, znamená to pro něj jen jediné: trest smrti...

Changing World
Everything you wanted to know about climate change but were too afraid to ask!
The terrifying effects of a warming planet are impossible to ignore, but sometimes it's hard to pick through the facts and to understand exactly what’s happening and how. This book of bright, bold infographics illuminates the realities of climate change in hard numbers, digestible data and vivid visualizations.
How will rising sea levels affect us?
What is the impact of meat on the planet?
What industries create the most emissions? How do renewable energies compare to one another?
What are the most effective things we as individuals can do to help the planet?
Without sugar-coating or fear-mongering, this is a book that conveniently unpacks inconvenient truths in a way that is accessible to readers young and old.
Beyond Bitcoin
After over a decade of Bitcoin, which has now moved beyond lore and hype into an increasingly robust star in the firmament of global assets, a new and more important question has arisen. What happens beyond Bitcoin? The answer is decentralised finance - 'DeFi'.
Tech and finance experts Steven Boykey Sidley and Simon Dingle argue that DeFi - which enables all manner of financial transactions to take place directly, person to person, without the involvement of financial institutions - will redesign the cogs and wheels in the engines of trust, and make the remarkable rise of Bitcoin look quaint by comparison. It will disrupt and displace fine and respectable companies, if not entire industries.
Sidley and Dingle explain how DeFi works, introduce the organisations and individuals that comprise the new industry, and identify the likely winners and losers in the coming revolution.
Pivot
A stunning new insight into how the most crucial lesson you can learn in today’s challenging business environment is how to change the fundamentals of what you do, rather than carry on fighting a battle that is already lost.
The near destruction of the music industry at the hands of online piracy and its subsequent recovery on the backs of digital streaming platforms is more than just the biggest story of disruption and reinvention of the digital age. It is also a trove of insights on how to confront the metamorphosis we are all facing in dealing with the Covid-19 era, as accelerating tech and economic changes reshape our work, our play and our very minds.
Will Page, Spotify’s first chief economist, extrapolates music’s journey into eight guiding principles for pivoting through the ubiquitous disruption in nearly all industries. Expect the unexpected with transferable lessons coming from Starbucks, Tupperware and even Groucho Marx. The notion of 'Tarzan Economics' ties these principles together: a framework for recognising and acting on disruption, by letting go of the old vine and grabbing onto the new. Page joyfully brings these insights to life and provides a guide for knowing not just how to grab the new vine, but when. He assesses the new dynamics of the 'long tail', identifies friends and foes in the battle for scarce attention and provides a practical tool for discovering the right role for each of us to succeed in this new modern world.
As we emerge from the unprecedented disruption of a global pandemic, Pivot shows all of us - individuals, organisations and institutions - that if the vine we are holding onto is withering, we can have confidence to reach out for a new one in 2023 and beyond.
Catalyst
From the author of New York Times bestsellers Contagious and Invisible Influence comes a revolutionary approach to changing anyone's mind.
Everyone has something they want to change. Marketers want to change their customers' minds and leaders want to change organisations. Start-ups want to change industries and nonprofits want to change the world. But change is hard. Often, we persuade and pressure and push, but nothing moves. Could there be a better way?
This book takes a different approach. Successful change agents know it's not about pushing harder, or providing more information, it's about being a catalyst. Catalysts remove roadblocks and reduce the barriers to change. Instead of asking, "How could I change someone's mind?" they ask a different question: "Why haven't they changed already? What's stopping them?"
The Catalyst identifies the key barriers to change and how to mitigate them. You'll learn how catalysts change minds in the toughest of situations: how hostage negotiators get people to come out with their hands up and how marketers get new products to catch on, how leaders transform organisational culture and how activists ignite social movements, how substance abuse counselors get addicts to realise they have a problem and how political campaigners change deeply rooted political beliefs.
Střední paleolit v moravských jeskyních. Middle Palaeolithic in Moravian Caves
Publikace shrnuje naše poznatky o využití moravských jeskyní v období středního paleolitu (250 000–40 000 let BP). Vedle kritické revize pramenů přináší i nové techno-typologické analýzy kamenných industrií z hlavních nalezišť – jeskyně Kůlny, Švédova stolu, Šipky a Čertovy díry. Poznatky o způsobech výroby kamenné industrie jsou doplněny revizí kulturní klasifikace nalezených souborů, determinací použitých kamenných surovin a rekonstrukcí jejich distribuce. Tyto údaje tvoří základ pro syntézu, která je zaměřená na chování neandertálců. V časovém a prostorovém kontextu je rekonstruováno ekonomické chování, vytváření sídelních a sídlištních struktur, vývoj technologie kamenných artefaktů a v neposlední řadě se autor zabývá i neutilitárními praktikami neandertálců se zvláštním zřetelem na případnou uměleckou tvorbu.

Utópiatervezet
Amikor a Dresner Industries piacra dobja Merge nevű eszközét, amely feleslegessé teszi a személyi számítógépeket és az okostelefonokat, a Covert-One-nak dolgozó Jon Smith ezredest bízzák meg a készülék katonai célú felhasználási lehetőségeinek felmérésével. Smith megállapítja, hogy a látásjavító funkció, a valós idejű harctéri gyakorlatok, a közel tökéletes lövészeti eredmények csupán kezdeti sikerei egy olyan technológiának, amely örökre megváltoztatja a hadviselést.
Eközben Afganisztán hegyei közt Randi Russell CIA-ügynök egész falunyi lemészárolt afgán férfit talál, akik a Merge-eszközzel voltak felszerelve. Smith segítségével megpróbálja kinyomozni az ügyet, ám a háttérből munkájukat akadályozza egy titokzatos valaki, aki feltehetően a katonai hierarchia csúcsán helyezkedik el.
Valóban olyan biztonságos a Merge, ahogy a megálmodója állítja? Miért akarja mindenáron titokban tartani a készülék fejlesztésének körülményeit a Pentagon? Smith és Randi eltökéli, hogy kiderítik az igazságot, még ha az életükkel is kell fizetni ezért.
