Почему все человеческие культуры - сегодня и на протяжении всей истории - создавали музыку? Почему музыка вызывает такие сильные эмоции? Как мы воспринимаем музыкальный звук? • Это вопросы, которые до недавнего времени оставались загадочными. Теперь "Музыкальный инстинкт" исследует, как последние исследования в области музыкальной психологии и науки о мозге складывают воедино головоломку о том, как наш разум понимает музыку и реагирует на нее. Начиная от фуг Баха и заканчивая детскими стишками и тяжелым роком, Филип Болл переплетает философию, математику, историю и неврологию, чтобы показать, почему музыка так сильно волнует нас • Не требуя каких-либо специальных знаний, музыкальный инстинкт одновременно углубит ваше понимание музыки, которую вы любите, и откроет двери для музыки, которая когда-то казалась чуждой, скучной или пугающей, предлагая страстный призыв к важности музыки в образовании и в повседневной жизни подробнее

Back in 1930, the economist John Maynard Keynes prophesied that by the century's end, technology would see us all working fifteen hour weeks. But instead, something curious happened. Today, average working hours have not decreased, but increased. And now, across the developed world, three-quarters of all jobs are in services or admin, jobs that don't seem to add anything to society bullshit jobs. In Bullshit Jobs, David Graeber explores how this phenomenon - one more associated with the 20th century Soviet Union, but which capitalism was supposed to eliminate - has happened. In doing so, he looks at how we value work, and how, rather than being productive, work has become an end in itself; the way such work maintains the current broken system of finance capital; and, finally, how we can get out of it

Merky Books Dreaming in a Nightmare. Inequality and What We Can Do About It Emmanuel Jeremiah

I wanted to change the world, but the world I was born into changed me first • My name is Jeremiah Emmanuel. I'm twenty one years old. I'm an activist, an entrepreneur, a former deputy young mayor of Lambeth and member of the UK Youth Parliament • Raised in south London, I lived in an area where crime and poverty were everywhere and opportunities to escape were rare. Violence was accepted, prison was expected. That was the world I knew; the only one I thought was possible for people like me • Then I discovered another world, one with opportunities round every corner. As I grew my network, I realised that the system actively works against certain members of society, silently preventing people from succeeding.
