Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In Sapiens, he explored our past. In Homo Deus, he looked to our future. Now, one of the most innovative thinkers on the planet turns to the present to make sense of today’s most pressing issues. “Fascinating . . . a crucial global conversation about how to take on the problems of the twenty-first century.”—Bill Gates, The New York Times Book Review NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY FINANCIAL TIMES AND PAMELA PAUL, KQED How do computers and robots change the meaning of being human? How do we deal with the epidemic of fake news? Are nations and religions still relevant? What should we teach our children? Yuval Noah Harari’s 21 Lessons for the 21st Century is a probing and visionary investigation into today’s most urgent issues as we move into the uncharted territory of the future. As technology advances faster than our understanding of it, hacking becomes a tactic of war, and the world feels more polarized than ever, Harari addresses the challenge of navigating life in the face of constant and disorienting change and raises the important questions we need to ask ourselves in order to survive. In twenty-one accessible chapters that are both provocative and profound, Harari builds on the ideas explored in his previous books, untangling political, technological, social, and existential issues and offering advice on how to prepare for a very different future from the world we now live in: How can we retain freedom of choice when Big Data is watching us? What will the future workforce look like, and how should we ready ourselves for it? How should we deal with the threat of terrorism? Why is liberal democracy in crisis? Harari’s unique ability to make sense of where we have come from and where we are going has captured the imaginations of millions of readers. Here he invites us to consider values, meaning, and personal engagement in a world full of noise and uncertainty. When we are deluged with irrelevant information, clarity is power. Presenting complex contemporary challenges clearly and accessibly, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century is essential reading. “If there were such a thing as a required instruction manual for politicians and thought leaders, Israeli historian Yuval Noah Harari’s 21 Lessons for the 21st Century would deserve serious consideration. In this collection of provocative essays, Harari . . . tackles a daunting array of issues, endeavoring to answer a persistent question: ‘What is happening in the world today, and what is the deep meaning of these events?’”—BookPage (top pick)

Download or read book Ferrari written by Lionel Froissart and published by Universe Publishing(NY). This book was released on 1997 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When, in the early 1950s, Enzo Ferrari - who was already established as a master car builder - decided to diversify, he set out to find a premier couturier to adorn his cars, creations he likened to the loveliest Italian women. Legend has it that Enzo Ferrari and designer Battista Pininfarina first met midway between their respective places of work, as neither would agree to meeting on the other's territory. Their encounter was to result in some of the most extraordinary sports cars of the twentieth century. It also marked the beginning of the uncontested rule of Ferrari in the automobile world. The marriage of the house of the prancing horse with the Carrozzeria Pininfarina immediately proved a happy and prosperous one. With the introduction of the now-classic 212 Inter (of which only seventeen were produced), the partnership launched what was to become the world's most prestigious and celebrated line of sporting automobiles. Soon came such unforgettable models as the 375 America Berlinetta and the 250 GT Berlinetta - considered by some to be one of the most beautiful cars ever designed - along with an extraordinary suite of Ferrari admirers, from King Leopold of Belgium to Ingrid Bergman (who sat behind the wheel of the 375 America Berlinetta at the 1954 Paris Auto Show). The Ferrari-Pininfarina story is one of constant innovation, mixed with equal parts inspiration and technical expertise, and no small amount of personal drama: the famous Dino, introduced in 1965, was a tribute to Enzo's son Alfredino, who conceived and designed the Dino's V-6 engine from his hospital bed shortly before he died. Today, this heritage of automotive excellence has been passed on to the son's ofBattista and Enzo, whose legacy continues to generate the boldest, most applauded sports cars in the world. Here the story of these extraordinary men, and their new and dynamic vision of the car, is told in photographs, drawings, and drawing-board sketches of the most beautiful Fer

Download or read book The Muratorian Fragment written by Clare K. Rothschild and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers an introduction, critical edition, and fresh English translation of the Muratorian Fragment. In addition to addressing questions of authorship, date, provenance, and sources, Clare K. Rothschild carefully analyzes the text's language, composition, genre, and possible functions with reference to a breathtaking range of scholarly positions and findings from the eighteenth century to the present. She also investigates its position within the eclectic eighth-century Muratorian Codex (Ambr. I 101 sup.). A line-by-line philological commentary draws attention to literary, philosophical, and religious aspects of the individual traditions represented. This study should be of interest to scholars of the New Testament and early Christian literature, as well as experts on the emergence of the canon and historians of the Latin Medieval West.
Download or read book Cambridge and Vienna written by Maria C. Galavotti and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-03-06 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Institute Vienna Circle held a conference in Vienna in 2003, Cambridge and Vienna – Frank P. Ramsey and the Vienna Circle, to commemorate the philosophical and scientific work of Frank Plumpton Ramsey (1903–1930). This Ramsey conference provided not only historical and biographical perspectives on one of the most gifted thinkers of the Twentieth Century, but also new impulses for further research on at least some of the topics pioneered by Ramsey, whose interest and potential are greater than ever. Ramsey did pioneering work in several fields, practitioners of which rarely know of his important work in other fields: philosophy of logic and theory of language, foundations of mathematics, mathematics, probability theory, methodology of science, philosophy of psychology, and economics. There was a focus on the one topic which was of strongest mutual concern to Ramsey and the Vienna Circle, namely the question of foundations of mathematics, in particular the status of logicism. Although the major scientific connection linking Ramsey with Austria is his work on logic, to which the Vienna Circle dedicated several meetings, certainly the connection which is of greater general interest concerns Ramsey's visits and discussions with Wittgenstein. Ramsey was the only important thinker to actually visit Wittgenstein during his school-teaching career in Puchberg and Ottertal in the 1920s, in Lower Austria; and later, Ramsey was instrumental in getting Wittgenstein positions at Cambridge.
