Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -WINNER OF THE 2022 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATUREOne of Annie Ernaux's most exciting and idiosyncratic works now in paperback for the first time. In this novel, which takes the form of journal entries made over the course of seven years, Annie Ernaux concentrates on the ephemeral encounters that take place just on the periphery of a person's lived environment. She captures the feeling of contemporary living on the outskirts of a great city: tortured, chaotic, lyrical, and powerfully alive. Exteriors is in many ways the most ecstatic of Ernaux's books the first in which she appears largely free of the haunting personal relationships she has written about so powerfully elsewhere, and the first in which she is able to leave the past behind her. 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -From the Financial Times's global finance correspondent, the incredible true story of the iconoclastic geeks who defied conventional wisdom and endured Wall Street's scorn to launch the index fund revolution, democratizing investing and saving hundreds of billions of dollars in fees that would have otherwise lined fat cats' pockets.Fifty years ago, the Manhattan Project of money management was quietly assembled in the financial industry's backwaters, unified by the heretical idea that even many of the world's finest investors couldn't beat the market in the long run. The motley crew of nerds including economist wunderkind Gene Fama, humiliated industry executive Jack Bogle, bull-headed and computer-obsessive John McQuown, and avuncular former WWII submariner Nate Most succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. Passive investing now accounts for more than $20 trillion, equal to the entire gross domestic product of the US, and is today a force reshaping markets, finance and even capitalism itself in myriad subtle but pivotal ways. Yet even some fans of index funds and ETFs are growing perturbed that their swelling heft is destabilizing markets, wrecking the investment industry and leading to an unwelcome concentration of power in fewer and fewer hands. In Trillions, Financial Times journalist Robin Wigglesworth unveils the vivid secret history of an invention Wall Street wishes was never created, bringing to life the characters behind its birth, growth, and evolution into a world-conquering phenomenon. This engrossing narrative is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand modern finance and one of the most pressing financial uncertainties of our time. 352 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERNew York Times bestselling author and acclaimed linguist John McWhorter argues that an illiberal neoracism, disguised as antiracism, is hurting Black communities and weakening the American social fabric.Americans of good will on both the left and the right are secretly asking themselves the same question: how has the conversation on race in America gone so crazy We re told to read books and listen to music by people of color but that wearing certain clothes is appropriation. We hear that being white automatically gives you privilege and that being Black makes you a victim. We want to speak up but fear we ll be seen as unwoke, or worse, labeled a racist. According to John McWhorter, the problem is that a well-meaning but pernicious form of antiracism has become, not a progressive ideology, but a religion and one that s illogical, unreachable, and unintentionally neoracist.In Woke Racism, McWhorter reveals the workings of this new religion, from the original sin of white privilege and the weaponization of cancel culture to ban heretics, to the evangelical fervor of the woke mob. He shows how this religion that claims to dismantle racist structures is actually harming his fellow Black Americans by infantilizing Black people, setting Black students up for failure, and passing policies that disproportionately damage Black communities. The new religion might be called antiracism, but it features a racial essentialism that s barely distinguishable from racist arguments of the past.Fortunately for Black America, and for all of us, it s not too late to push back against woke racism. McWhorter shares scripts and encouragement with those trying to deprogram friends and family. And most importantly, he offers a roadmap to justice that actually will help, not hurt, Black America.; Eine neue Religion spaltet die Gesellschaft unter dem Deckmantel des Antirassismus.Über dieses Buch spricht ganz Amerika: Der Schwarze Sprachwissenschaftler John McWhorter prangert eine Bewegung von selbsternannten Erwählten an, die mit allen Regeln der Vernunft bricht und die soziale Gemeinschaft gefährdet.Die Debatte um Identität ist entgleist. Nicht nur in den USA, auch in Europa und in Deutschland steht die Frage im Raum: Wie konnte es so weit kommen John McWhorter wendet sich der treibenden Kraft dieser Entwicklung zu: einer neuen Bewegung von Erwählten, die sich von den Prinzipien der Aufklärung abgewendet haben und im Umgang mit identitätspolitischen Fragen quasi eine neue Religion begründen.John McWhorter analysiert mit scharfem Blick und anschaulichen Beispielen, wo und wie sich diese politische Haltung durchgesetzt hat, warum sie viel zu radikal und essenzialistisch ist und gerade eines nicht: antirassistisch. Der unbeabsichtigte Neorassismus ist falsch und gefährlich, schadet den Schwarzen und zerstört den integrativen Diskurs.Am Ende macht McWhorter aber auch Hoffnung und zeigt den möglichen Weg zu einer Gerechtigkeit, die das Schwarze Amerika einen und nicht spalten soll. 224 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -From the bestselling author of Team of Teams and My Share of the Task, an entirely new way to understand risk and master the unknown.Retired four-star general Stan McChrystal has lived a life associated with the deadly risks of combat. From his first day at West Point, to his years in Afghanistan, to his efforts helping business leaders navigate a global pandemic, McChrystal has seen how individuals and organizations fail to mitigate risk. Why Because they focus on the probability of something happening instead of the interface by which it can be managed.In Risk, General McChrystal offers a battle-tested system for detecting and responding to risk. Instead of defining risk as a force to predict, McChrystal and coauthor Anna Butrico show that there are in fact ten dimensions of control we can adjust at any given time.Drawing on examples ranging from military history to the business world, and offering practical exercises to improve preparedness, McChrystal illustrates how these ten factors are always in effect, and how by considering them, individuals and organizations can exert mastery over every conceivable sort of risk that they might face.We may not be able to see the future, but withMcChrystal s hard-won guidance, we can improve our resistance and build a strong defense against what we know and what we don't. 343 pp. Englisch.

Why Because they focus on the probability of something happening instead of the interface by which it can be managed.In this new book, General McChrystal offers a battle-tested system for detecting and responding to risk. Instead of defining risk as a force to predict, McChrystal and coauthor Anna Butrico show that there are in fact ten dimensions of control we can adjust at any given time. By closely monitoring these controls, we can maintain a healthy Risk Immune System that allows us to effectively anticipate, identify, analyze, and act upon the ever-present possibility that things will not go as planned.Drawing on examples ranging from military history to the business world, and offering practical exercises to improve preparedness, McChrystalillustrates how these ten factors are always in effect, and how by considering them, individuals and organizations can exert mastery over every conceivable sort of risk that they might face.We may not be able to see the future, but with McChrystal's hard-won guidance, we can improve our resistance and build a strong defense against what we know-and what we don't.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -WINNER OF THE 2022 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATUREOne of Annie Ernaux's most exciting and idiosyncratic works now in paperback for the first time. In this novel, which takes the form of journal entries made over the course of seven years, Annie Ernaux concentrates on the ephemeral encounters that take place just on the periphery of a person's lived environment. She captures the feeling of contemporary living on the outskirts of a great city: tortured, chaotic, lyrical, and powerfully alive. Exteriors is in many ways the most ecstatic of Ernaux's booksthe first in which she appears largely free of the haunting personal relationships she has written about so powerfully elsewhere, and the first in which she is able to leave the past behind her.Teemu Kontttinen, Easy Access System Europe, 96 pp. Englisch.
