Paperback. Etat : Very Good. The capitalist era is passing - not quickly, but inevitably. Rising in its wake is a new global collaborative Commons that will fundamentally transform our way of life. Ironically, capitalism's demise is not coming at the hands of hostile external forces. Rather, The Zero Marginal Cost Society argues, capitalism is a victim of its own success. Intense competition across sectors of the economy is forcing the introduction of ever newer technologies. Bestselling author Jeremy Rifkin explains that this competition is boosting productivity to its optimal point where the marginal cost of producing additional units is nearly zero, which makes the product essentially free. In turn, profits are drying up, property ownership is becoming meaningless, and an economy based on scarcity is giving way to an economy of abundance, changing the very nature of society. Rifkin describes how hundreds of millions of people are already transferring parts of their economic lives from capitalist markets to global networked Commons. "Prosumers" are producing their own information, entertainment, green energy, and 3-D printed products at nearly zero marginal cost, and sharing them via social media sites, rentals, redistribution clubs, bartering networks, and cooperatives. Meanwhile, students are enrolling in massive open online courses (MOOCs) that also operate at near-zero marginal cost. And young social entrepreneurs are establishing ecologically sensitive businesses, crowdsourcing capital, and even creating alternative currencies in the new sharable economy. As a result, "exchange value" in the marketplace - long the bedrock of our economy - is increasingly being replaced by "use value" on the collaborative Commons. In this new era, identity is less bound to what one owns and more to what one shares. Cooperation replaces self-interest, access trumps ownership, and networking drubs autonomy. Rifkin concludes that while capitalism will be with us for at least the next half century, albeit in an increasingly diminished role, it will no longer be the dominant paradigm. We are, Rifkin says, entering a world beyond markets where we are learning how to live together collaboratively and sustainably in an increasingly interdependent global Commons.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. The old common sense was about how to deal with the separate and free-standing units of a complicated world. The next common sense is about mastering the complex swirl of interweaving events and situations around us. Life is faster, more interconnected, interdependent and interrelated in the online communities of AOL than in the supply chain of an auto-maker. The world of work group relationships, strategic alliances and the customer networks we collectively call 'the organisation' is about the effects of relationships between people inside and outside the organisation rather than controlling distinct groups of employees, customers, suppliers. The new world is a complex one of arrows rather than boxes, of interactions rather than entities. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Are you an asshole? Yes? No? How do you know either way? Being an asshole has a different meaning to different people. It varies by social class, race, gender, personality, mood, etc. Because of this, it can be a difficult thing to pin down, but in general, following the basic rules of applying common sense to most situations and being decent towards others will usually render you "asshole-free". Confused? You're not alone. People by the millions walk around every day performing actions they deem completely acceptable; Never cognizant of the fact that they just became a total asshole to someone around them. Maybe they ARE aware and just don't give a crap. Those that fall into the latter category are probably too far gone to be saved but if YOU care, you should definitely read this book. "Don't Be An Asshole!" defines the specific types of assholes you may encounter and tries to examine why some people become the assholes they are, how to cope with them and what you can do (or not do) to make sure you don't become one yourself. It lists many a situation and place where asshole behavior is prevalent so that you can either prepare yourself or avoid them altogether. Still confused? Maybe this will help. Imagine a book that could help you learn: How to deal with stress Because asshole behavior stresses us out! What's better for stress than having your feelings justified by a complete stranger and having a laugh or two while you're at it? How to deal with difficult people The term "difficult people" itself implies people who are assholes. C'mon, if they weren't being assholes, would anyone think they are "difficult"? I can think of a lot of "difficult" people right now and every last one of them is an asshole. This group can include friends, employees, employers or just complete idiots. How to deal with conflict resolution There is no other cross section of society that is more intimately familiar with conflict than the asshole crowd. They can find or initiate conflict anywhere. Ballgames, the movies, church, online, in your bedroom. ANYWHERE. Do you wanna be caught helpless when you find yourself in a conflict with one of these good mood oppressors? You could even just hand them a copy of this very book and call it a day. They'll get the point. Will this book help you find your soul-mate, find a better job, lose weight, increase your penis size or otherwise change your life? Probably not. Will it give you the power to passive aggressively make your feelings known to jerks in your life? You betcha! Just hand them a copy and a smile. Will it make you a star at the next "white elephant" gift-swapping, holiday party? Fo shizzle! Miss Mason-Jar-Wine-Glass ain't gonna have nothin' on you next year. Life changing? No. Fun as all get-out? Yup! "Don't Be An Asshole!" - Part comedy, part therapy.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. This is the 2016 edition of the guide. The 2nd edition, published in 2023, can be found by searching '80,000 Hours' on Amazon. The 2nd edition contains tons of updates and additional resources for planning a fulfilling career that does good. Find a fulfilling career that tackles the world's most pressing problems, using this guide based on five years of research alongside academics at Oxford. You have about 80,000 hours in your career: 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, for 40 years. This means your choice of career is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make. Make the right choices, and you can help solve some of the world's most pressing problems, as well as have a more rewarding, interesting life. For such an important decision, however, there's surprisingly little good advice out there. Most career advice focuses on things like how to write a CV, and much of the rest is just (misleading) platitudes like "follow your passion". Most people we speak to don't even use career advice - they just speak to friends and try to figure it out for themselves. When it comes to helping others with your career the advice usually assumes you need to work as a teacher, doctor, charity worker, and so on, even though these paths might not be a good fit for you, and were not what the highest-impact people in history did. This guide is based on five years of research conducted alongside academics at the University of Oxford. It aims to help you find a career you enjoy, you're good at, and that tackles the world's most pressing problems. It covers topics like: 1. What makes for a dream job, and why "follow your passion" can be misleading. 2. Why the most effective ways to make a difference aren't always the obvious ones like working at a charity, or becoming a doctor. 3. How to compare global problems, like climate change and education, in terms of their scale and urgency. 4. How to discover and develop your strengths.It's also full of practical tips and tools. You'll come away with a plan to use your 80,000 hours in a way that's fulfilling and high impact.

In the spring of 2014, millions of Twitter users, including some of the world's most famous people, unwittingly helped turn a group of 276 schoolgirls abducted by a little-known Islamist sect into a central prize in the global War on Terror by retweeting a call for their release: #BringBackOurGirls. With just four words, their tweets launched an army of would-be liberators. Soldiers and drones, spies, mercenaries, and glory hunters descended into an obscure conflict that few understood, in a remote part of Nigeria that had barely begun to use the internet. When hostage talks and military intervention failed, the schoolgirls were forced to take survival into their own hands. As their days in captivity dragged into years, the young women learned to withstand hunger, disease, and torment, and became witnesses and victims of unspeakable brutality. Many of the girls were Christians who refused to take the one path offered them--converting to their captors' fundamentalist creed. In secret, they sang hymns, and kept a diary, relying on their faith and friendships to stay alive. Bring Back Our Girls unfolds across four continents, from the remote forests of northern Nigeria to the White House; from clandestine meetings in Khartoum safe houses to century-old luxury hotels on picturesque lakes in the Swiss Alps. A twenty-first century story that plumbs the promise and peril of an era whose politics are fueled by the power of hashtag advocacy, this urgent and engrossing work of investigative journalism reveals the unpredictable interconnectedness of our butterfly-wings world, where a few days of online activism can bring years of offline consequences for people continents away. The heart-stopping and definitive account of the rescue mission to free hundreds of Nigerian schoolgirls, and their survival, after the 2014 kidnapping spurred a global campaign that showed us the blinding possibilities-for good and ill-of activism in our interconnected world.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. JFK to 911 is already a global phenomenon, having began as a Youtube video which achieved over a billion hits by becoming the first documentary in human history to untangle all the establishment lies and reveal the entire truth about the Kennedy Assassination and 911. These disclosures so frightened the powers-that-be that President Trump and the Queen of England took the joint decision to ban it altogether, so that if you read this book, you will be learning the most cardinal secrets which your government would much rather you did not know. Nearly all intelligent people these days are wary of what we are being told by the mainstream media, but fewer are aware that the very notion of 'fake news' began with the words on these pages, and that all government policy in recent times has been an ongoing effort to hold back the increasing enlightenment these words have inspired. Legions of people have taken the trouble to go online so that they could tell the world about how learning that absolutely everything is a rich man's trickthe justice system, the education system, the economic system, and most importantly, the media. Francis Richard Conolly is extremely hopeful that the people who have made a movie which he originally gave them for free such a central part of their existence will now buy this book in order to build the revenues which he needs to make the sequel which everyone wants to see.

Hard Back. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. First Edition. 274 Pages. Gift Quality. Colorfil Illustrations throughout. This is a November 2020 First Edition. The idea for The Ickabog came to me a long time ago. The word "Ickabog" derives from "Ichabod," meaning "no glory" or "the glory has departed." I think you'll understand why I chose the name once you've read the story, which deals with themes that have always interested me. What do the monsters we conjure tell us about ourselves? What must happen for evil to get a grip on a person, or on a country, and what does it take to defeat it? Why do people choose to believe lies even on scant or nonexistent evidence? The Ickabog was written in fits and starts between Harry Potter books. The story never underwent any serious modifications. It always started with poor Mrs. Dovetail's death and it always ended . Well, I won't say how, in case you're coming to it for the first time! I read the story aloud to my two youngest children when they were very small, but I never finished it, much to the frustration of Mackenzie, whose favorite story it was. After I finished the Harry Potter books, I took a five-year break, and when I decided not to publish a children's book next, The Ickabog went up into the attic, still unfinished. There it stayed for over a decade, and there it would probably be still if the COVID-19 pandemic hadn't happened and millions of children hadn't been stuck at home, unable to attend school or meet their friends. That's when I had the idea of putting the story online for free and asking children to illustrate it. Down from the attic came the very dusty box of typed and handwritten papers and I set to work.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Transforming your wellbeing through simple culinary creations can be a truly rewarding journey. I remember when I first considered adopting a sugar-free lifestyle; it felt daunting at first. I loved my sweet treats, and the thought of giving them up seemed impossible. However, as I started to explore the world of sugar-free cooking, I discovered not only delicious alternatives but also a newfound energy and clarity in my life. One of the first things I learned was that sugar is often hidden in many foods we consume daily. Reading labels became a bit of a hobby for me. I was shocked to find sugar in items like sauces, bread, and even some seemingly healthy snacks. This realization pushed me to become more mindful about what I was putting into my body. I began to focus on whole foods-fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. These ingredients became the foundation of my meals. Cooking without sugar doesn't mean sacrificing flavor. In fact, it opened up a world of culinary creativity for me. I started experimenting with natural sweeteners like stevia and monk fruit, which allowed me to enjoy the sweetness I craved without the negative effects of refined sugar. I also discovered the power of spices. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract can elevate a dish and provide that comforting taste without any added sugar. One of my go-to recipes became a simple chia seed pudding. Just a few tablespoons of chia seeds soaked in almond milk overnight, then topped with fresh berries and a sprinkle of cinnamon. It's delicious, filling, and gives me a great energy boost in the morning. I also found that preparing meals in advance helped me stay on track. Meal prepping became a fun weekend ritual, where I would cook up healthy meals for the week ahead. It saved me time and kept me from reaching for sugary snacks when hunger struck. I also began to appreciate the importance of community in this journey. I joined online forums and local groups where people shared their experiences and recipes. Collaborating with others who were on the same path provided motivation and inspiration. We would swap ideas for sugar-free desserts, and I was amazed at the creativity people had. One friend introduced me to a fantastic recipe for avocado brownies. Yes, avocado! They were rich and fudgy, and I couldn't believe they were sugar-free. As I continued down this path, I noticed significant changes in my energy levels and overall health. I felt lighter, both physically and mentally. My cravings for sugar diminished, and I found joy in cooking and trying new recipes. It was as if I had rediscovered food in a way that was more nourishing and satisfying. In conclusion, adopting a sugar-free lifestyle doesn't have to be overwhelming. Start small, read labels, and experiment with natural sweeteners and whole foods. Embrace the journey and find joy in your culinary creations. Remember, it's about progress, not perfection. Celebrate your successes, no matter how small, and don't be afraid to reach out to others for support. You might just find that this journey transforms your wellbeing in ways you never expected.

When must you save more people rather than fewer? These questions might arise in emergencies involving strangers drowning or trappedin burning buildings, but they also arise in our everyday lives, in which we confront opportunities to donate time or money to help distant strangers in need of food, shelter, or medical care. With theresources available, we can provide more help--or less.In The Rules of Rescue, Theron Pummer argues that we are often morally required to engage in effective altruism, directing altruistic efforts in ways that help the most. Even when the personal sacrifice involved makes it morally permissible not to help at all, he contends, it often remains wrong to provide less help rather than more. Using carefully crafted examples, he defends the view that helping distantstrangers is more morally akin to rescuing nearby strangers than most of us realize. The ubiquity of opportunities to help distant strangers threatens to make morality extremely demanding, and Pummer argues thatit is only thanks to adequate permissions grounded in considerations of cost and autonomy that we may pursue our own plans and projects. He ultimately concludes that many of us are required to provide no less help over our lives than we would have done if we were effective altruists.

Democracies previously thought to be well-established--Hungary, Poland, Brazil, and even the United States--have been threatened by the rise of ultra-nationalist and populist leaders who pay lip-service to the will of the people while daily undermining the freedom and pluralism that are the foundations of democratic governance. The possibility of democratic collapse where we least expected it has added new urgency to the age-old inquiry into how democracy, once attained, can be made to last.In Democracy in Hard Places, Scott Mainwaring and Tarek Masoud bring together a distinguished cast of contributors to illustrate how democracies around the world continue to survive even in an age of democratic decline. Collectively, they argue that we can learn much from democratic survivals that were just as unexpected as the democratic erosions that have occurred in some corners of the developed world. Just as social scientists long believed that well-established, Western, educated, industrialized, and rich democracies were immortal, so too did they assign little chance of democracy to countries that lacked these characteristics. And yet, in defiance of decades of social science wisdom, many countries that were bereft of these hypothesized enabling conditions for democracy not only achieved it, but maintained it year after year. How does democracy persist in countries that are ethnically heterogenous, wracked by economic crisis, and plagued by state weakness? What is the secret of democratic longevity in hard places?This book--the first to date to systematically examine the survival persistence of unlikely democracies--presents nine case studies in which democracy emerged and survived against the odds. Adopting a comparative, cross-regional perspective, the authors derive lessons about what makes democracy stick despite tumult and crisis, economic underdevelopment, ethnolinguistic fragmentation, and chronic institutional weakness. By bringing these cases into dialogue with each other, Mainwaring and Masoud derive powerful theoretical lessons for how democracy can be built and maintained in places where dominant social science theories would cause us to least expect it.
