The application of physico-chemical theory to technical processes and manufacturing methods Kremann Robert Konrad Книга по Требованию

The world’s tech giants are at the centre of controversies over fake news, free speech and hate speech on platforms where influence is bought and sold. Yet, at the outset, almost everyone thought the internet would be a positive, democratic force, a space where knowledge could be freely shared to enable everyone to make better-informed decisions. How did it all go so wrong? Noam Cohen reports on the tech libertarians of Silicon Valley, from the self-proclaimed geniuses Jeff Bezos, Peter Thiel, Reid Hoffman and Mark Zuckerberg to the early pioneers at Stanford University, who have not only made the internet what it is today but reshaped society in the process. It is the story of how the greed, bias and prejudice of one neighbourhood is fracturing the Western world

The third book from the CEO of the Happiness Research Institute and internationally bestselling author of The Little Book of Hygge, Meik Wiking • Why is it that a piece of music, a smell, a taste can take us back to something we had forgotten? How is it that we remember our first kiss in detail, but barely remember anything of a fortnight's holiday from five years ago? Memories are the cornerstones of our identity, shaping who we are, how we act, and how we feel. But how do we make and keep the memories that bring us lasting joy? • Happiness expert Meik Wiking has the answers. In The Art of Making Memories he brings together his extensive research drawn from the world's biggest study on happy memories (which involved 1000 people from 75 countries), conducted at the Happiness Research Institute, along with data and diaries, interviews, global surveys and studies, and real-life behavioural science and happiness experiments, to explain the nuances of nostalgia, the different ways we form memories around our experiences, and how we can become better at recalling them

In her groundbreaking debut, Anna Malaika Tubbs tells the incredible stories of three women who raised three world-changing men • Much has been written about Berdis Baldwin's son James, about Alberta King's son Martin Luther and Louise Little's son Malcolm. But virtually nothing has been said about the extraordinary women who raised them, each fighting their own battles, born into the beginning of the twentieth century and a deadly landscape of racial prejudice, Jim Crow, exploitation, unpoliced violence and open police vitriol • It was a society that would deny their sons' humanity from the beginning as it had denied theirs, but Berdis, Alberta and Louise were extraordinary women who instilled resilience, resistance and greatness in their sons

В книге "Эпоха декаданса. Великобритания с 1880 по 1914 год" Саймон Хеффер раскрывает противоречия поздневикторианской и эдвардианской Британии. Он объясняет, как, несмотря на огромную мощь страны, неумело проведенная война против буров в Южной Африке породила глубокие сомнения в ее имперском предназначении. Он показывает, как попытки обеспечить жизненно важные социальные реформы привели к серьезнейшему конституционному кризису двадцатого века и совпали с самыми серьезными промышленными беспорядками в британской истории. Он описывает, как политики, которые уступили право голоса миллионам мужчин, настолько пренебрежительно относились к женщинам, что публичный протест женщин-суфражисток граничил с терроризмом. Он изображает правящий класс, ставший жертвой вырождения и скандала

Мы проследуем за ними от Александрии шестого века до Багдада девятого века, от мусульманской Кордовы до католического Толедо, от средневековой медицинской школы Салерно до Палермо, столицы яркого сочетания культур Сицилии, до Венеции, где печатные станки этого великого торгового города позволили еще шире распространить эти знания • Прослеживая хрупкие нити знаний из века в век, с востока на запад и с севера на юг, Меллер также раскрывает паутину связей между исламским миром и христианским миром, связей, которые одновременно сохраняли и трансформировали астрономию, математику и медицину от раннего Средневековья до эпохи Возрождения
