Book excerpt: **NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER** ‘A sort of survival book, a sort of symptom-diagnosis manual in terms of losing your democracy and what tyranny and authoritarianism look like up close’ Rachel Maddow 'These 128 pages are a brief primer in every important thing we might have learned from the history of the last century, and all that we appear to have forgotten' Observer History does not repeat, but it does instruct. In the twentieth century, European democracies collapsed into fascism, Nazism and communism. These were movements in which a leader or a party claimed to give voice to the people, promised to protect them from global existential threats, and rejected reason in favour of myth. European history shows us that societies can break, democracies can fall, ethics can collapse, and ordinary people can find themselves in unimaginable circumstances. History can familiarise, and it can warn. Today, we are no wiser than the Europeans who saw democracy yield to totalitarianism in the twentieth century. But when the political order seems imperilled, our advantage is that we can learn from their experience to resist the advance of tyranny. Now is a good time to do so.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A graphic edition of historian Timothy Snyder’s lessons for surviving and resisting America’s arc toward authoritarianism, featuring the visual storytelling talents of renowned illustrator Nora Krug “Nora Krug has visualized and rendered some of the most valuable lessons of the twentieth century, which will serve all citizens as we shape the future.”—Shepard Fairey, artist and activist Timothy Snyder’s New York Times bestseller On Tyranny uses the darkest moments in twentieth-century history, from Nazism to Communism, to teach twenty lessons on resisting modern-day authoritarianism. Among the twenty include a warning to be aware of how symbols used today could affect tomorrow (“4: Take responsibility for the face of the world”), an urgent reminder to research everything for yourself and to the fullest extent (“11: Investigate”), a point to use personalized and individualized speech rather than clichéd phrases for the sake of mass appeal (“9: Be kind to our language”), and more. In this graphic edition, Nora Krug draws from her highly inventive art style in Belonging—at once a graphic memoir, collage-style scrapbook, historical narrative, and trove of memories—to breathe new life, color, and power into Snyder’s riveting historical references, turning a quick-read pocket guide of lessons into a visually striking rumination. In a time of great uncertainty and instability, this edition of On Tyranny emphasizes the importance of being active, conscious, and deliberate participants in resistance.

Download or read book Wireless Course in Twenty Lessons Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Harry Winfield Secor and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-17 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wireless Course in Twenty Lessons, Vol. 1 The explanation is that the ball originally held a charge opposite to that held by the rod, the charge being neutralized on touching the rod, and the surplus charge of the rod being carried on to the pith ball. Being that both the same charges exist on the ball and the rod, both will repel each other. Two kinds of electricity arc produced by friction, the kind of charge being dependent on the substances rubbed together. Thus if glass is rubbed with silk it becomes charged with positive electricity. On the other hand, sealing wax receives a negative charge if rubbed with flannel. Positive electricity is represented by a plus sign (+), and negative electricity by the minus sign (-). Where the current has been perfectly neutralized so that no polarity exists, a combination of both signs is used (+). While a charge may be given to a body by contact, it is also possible to charge a body at a distance, and by what is known as induction. If an electrified rod is brought near a glass cylinder, the latter will receive a temporary charge which disappears again when the rod is removed from the vicinity of the cylinder. However, if a permanent charge is desired, the glass cylinder is touched by the hand while the rod is held in the other hand near the end opposite to that being touched. A body touched or grounded while near a charged body is electrified oppositely. A body brought near a charge of electricity is electrified oppositely on the near end and similarly on the far end It must be noted carefully that the conductors do not hold static charges on them, and are therefore known as "non-electrics." The insulators, which do not carry current, hold static charges and arc known as "electrics." The capacity of a body in electricity denotes its ability to retain a charge. The total quantity that can be held depends directly on the (surface) capacity; but if we consider a certain amount of electricity, it will charge a body of small capacity to a higher degree than it would one of a larger capacity, because it can spread out more on the surface of the larger than on the smaller. One of the most familiar types of capacity is in the form of a glass jar or bottle, coated on its inside and outside with tinfoil, held on to the glass by shellac or other adhesive. This is known as the Leyden jar, Fig. 1, the first one having been produced at Leyden, Holland. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The First 20 Hours written by Josh Kaufman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-06-13 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forget the 10,000 hour rule— what if it’s possible to learn the basics of any new skill in 20 hours or less? Take a moment to consider how many things you want to learn to do. What’s on your list? What’s holding you back from getting started? Are you worried about the time and effort it takes to acquire new skills—time you don’t have and effort you can’t spare? Research suggests it takes 10,000 hours to develop a new skill. In this nonstop world when will you ever find that much time and energy? To make matters worse, the early hours of practicing something new are always the most frustrating. That’s why it’s difficult to learn how to speak a new language, play an instrument, hit a golf ball, or shoot great photos. It’s so much easier to watch TV or surf the web . . . In The First 20 Hours, Josh Kaufman offers a systematic approach to rapid skill acquisition— how to learn any new skill as quickly as possible. His method shows you how to deconstruct complex skills, maximize productive practice, and remove common learning barriers. By completing just 20 hours of focused, deliberate practice you’ll go from knowing absolutely nothing to performing noticeably well. Kaufman personally field-tested the methods in this book. You’ll have a front row seat as he develops a personal yoga practice, writes his own web-based computer programs, teaches himself to touch type on a nonstandard keyboard, explores the oldest and most complex board game in history, picks up the ukulele, and learns how to windsurf. Here are a few of the simple techniques he teaches: Define your target performance level: Figure out what your desired level of skill looks like, what you’re trying to achieve, and what you’ll be able to do when you’re done. The more specific, the better. Deconstruct the skill: Most of the things we think of as skills are actually bundles of smaller subskills. If you break down the subcomponents, it’s easier to figure out which ones are most important and practice those first. Eliminate barriers to practice: Removing common distractions and unnecessary effort makes it much easier to sit down and focus on deliberate practice. Create fast feedback loops: Getting accurate, real-time information about how well you’re performing during practice makes it much easier to improve. Whether you want to paint a portrait, launch a start-up, fly an airplane, or juggle flaming chainsaws, The First 20 Hours will help you pick up the basics of any skill in record time . . . and have more fun along the way.
