Factfulness Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World--and Why Things Are Better Than You Think【電子書籍】[ Hans Rosling ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>INSTANT <em>NEW YORK TIMES</em> BESTSELLER</p> <p>**“One of the most important books I’ve ever readーan indispensable guide to thinking clearly about the world.” ? Bill Gates</p> <p>“Hans Rosling tells the story of ‘the secret silent miracle of human progress’ as only he can. But <em>Factfulness</em> does much more than that. It also explains why progress is so often secret and silent and teaches readers how to see it clearly.” <em>ー<em>Melinda Gates</em></em></p> <p><strong>"<em>Factfulness</em> by Hans Rosling, an outstanding international public health expert, is a hopeful book about the potential for human progress when we work off facts rather than our inherent biases." - Former U.S. President Barack Obama</strong></p> <p><strong><em>Factfulnes</em>s: The stress-reducing habit of only carrying opinions for which you have strong supporting facts.</strong></p> <p>When asked simple questions about global trendsー<em>what percentage of the world’s population live in poverty; why the world’s population is increasing; how many girls finish school</em>ーwe systematically get the answers wrong. So wrong that a chimpanzee choosing answers at random will consistently outguess teachers, journalists, Nobel laureates, and investment bankers.</p> <p>In <em>Factfulness</em>, Professor of International Health and global TED phenomenon Hans Rosling, together with his two long-time collaborators, Anna and Ola, offers <strong>a radical new explanation of why this happens</strong>. They reveal <strong>the ten instincts that distort our perspective</strong>ーfrom our tendency to divide the world into two camps (usually some version of <em>us</em> and <em>them</em>) to the way we consume media (where fear rules) to how we perceive progress (believing that most things are getting worse).</p> <p>Our problem is that we don’t know what we don’t know, and even our guesses are informed by unconscious and predictable biases.</p> <p><strong>It turns out that the world, for all its imperfections, is in a much better state than we might think.</strong> That doesn’t mean there aren’t real concerns. But when we worry about everything all the time instead of embracing a worldview based on facts, we can lose our ability to focus on the things that threaten us most.</p> <p>Inspiring and revelatory, filled with lively anecdotes and moving stories, <strong><em>Factfulness</em> is an urgent and essential book that will change the way you see the world and empower you to respond to the crises and opportunities of the future.</strong></p> <p>---</p> <p>“This book is my last battle in my life-long mission to fight devastating ignorance…Previously I armed myself with huge data sets, eye-opening software, an energetic learning style and a Swedish bayonet for sword-swallowing. It wasn’t enough. But I hope this book will be.” Hans Rosling, February 2017.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,805円

A Disturbance in the Force How and Why the Star Wars Holiday Special Happened【電子書籍】[ Steve Kozak ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Bea Arthur as the owner of the Mos Eisley Cantina. Long scenes entirely of Wookies bleating at each other, without subtitles. Harvey Korman, in drag, as a four-armed Space Julia Child. Six minutes of Jefferson Starship performing for Art Carney and a bored Imperial Guard. Mark Hamill, fresh from his near-fatal motorcycle accident, slathered in pancake makeup. A salacious holographic burlesque from Diahann Carroll.<br /> Even by the standards of the 1970s, even compared to Jar-Jar Binks, the legendary 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special is a peerlessly cringeworthy pop-culture artifact. George Lucas, who completely disowned the production, reportedly has said, “If I had the time and a sledgehammer, I would track down every copy of that show and smash it.” Just how on earth did this thing ever see the light of day?<br /> To answer that question, as Steven Kozak shows in this fascinating and often hilarious inside look into the making of the Special, you have to understand the cultural moment in which it appearedーa long, long time ago when cheesy variety shows were a staple of network television and Star Wars was not yet the billion-dollar multimedia behemoth that it is today. Kozak explains how the Special was one piece of a PR blitz undertaken by Lucas and his colleagues as they sought to protect the emerging franchise from hostile studio executives. He shows how, despite the involvement of some of the most talented people in the business, creative differences between movie and television writers led to a wildly uneven product. He gives entertaining accounts of the problems that plagued production, which included a ruinously expensive cantina set; the acrimonious departure of the director and Lucas himself; and a furious Grace Slick, just out of rehab, demanding to be included in the production.<br /> Packed with memorable anecdotes, drawing on extensive new interviews with countless people involved in the production, and told with mingled affection and bewilderment, this never-before-told story gives a fascinating look at a strange moment in pop-culture history that remains an object of fascination even today.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,772円

40 Years A Virgin: Why the Wait?! Promoting Purity in a World of Promiscuity【電子書籍】[ Melika Miller ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>40 years A Virgin is a book about a woman's decision to wait until marriage to have sex. Melika explores her beliefs about purity when she believed she was doing the "right things" and contrasts it with an understanding of purity and abstinence after truly studying the Bible and deciding to live her life as a disciple of Jesus. As she explores this, Melika uses key scriptures that helped her make the changes in her life and that has helped her continue to wait. Melika is vulnerable and honest about her temptations and her desires. She wants her audience to understand that no one is perfect, but the Father, as Jesus himself said. Melika believes that showing her flaws and the ways she has fought to overcome her battles will help glorify God and hopefully encourage others to do the same things. Throughout the book, Melika shares stories about her life and the key scriptures she used in order to help her cling to her convictions. Additionally, Melika addresses how her life as a virgin is abnormal to the world, but is normal to the standard of the Bible. By addressing this, Melika hopes that other Christians, specifically teens and college students would be inspired to stand against the world's standard of living and live a counterculture, supernatural life that inspires and demonstrates a love for our Creator.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,780円

The Rise and Fall of the EAST How Exams, Autocracy, Stability, and Technology Brought China Success, and Why They Might Lead to Its Decline【電子書籍】[ Yasheng Huang, Ph.D. ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>The long history of China’s relationship between stability, diversity, and prosperity, and how its current leadership threatens this delicate balance</strong></p> <p><strong>“Riveting.”ーTunku Varadarajan, <em>Wall Street Journal</em></strong></p> <p><strong>A <em>Foreign Affairs</em> Best Book of 2023</strong></p> <p>Chinese society has been shaped by the interplay of the EASTーexams, autocracy, stability, and technologyーfrom ancient times through the present. Beginning with the Sui dynasty’s introduction of the civil service exam, known as <em>Keju</em>, in 587 CEーand continuing through the personnel management system used by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)ーChinese autocracies have developed exceptional tools for homogenizing ideas, norms, and practices. But this uniformity came with a huge downside: stifled creativity.</p> <p>Yasheng Huang shows how China transitioned from dynamism to extreme stagnation after the <em>Keju</em> was instituted. China’s most prosperous periods, such as during the Tang dynasty (618?907) and under the reformist CCP, occurred when its emphasis on scale (the size of bureaucracy) was balanced with scope (diversity of ideas).</p> <p>Considering China’s remarkable success over the past half-century, Huang sees signs of danger in the political and economic reversals under Xi Jinping. The CCP has again vaulted conformity above new ideas, reverting to the <em>Keju</em> model that eventually led to technological decline. It is a lesson from China’s own history, Huang argues, that Chinese leaders would be wise to take seriously.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,095円

The White Man's Burden Why the West's Efforts to Aid the Rest Have Done So Much Ill and So Little Good【電子書籍】[ William Easterly ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>**From one of the world’s best-known development economistsーan excoriating attack on the tragic hubris of the West’s efforts to improve the lot of the so-called developing world.</p> <p>"Brilliant at diagnosing the failings of Western intervention in the Third World." ー<em>BusinessWeek</em>**</p> <p>In his previous book, <em>The Elusive Quest for Growth</em>, William Easterly criticized the utter ineffectiveness of Western organizations to mitigate global poverty, and he was promptly fired by his then-employer, the World Bank. <em>The White Man’s Burden</em> is his widely anticipated counterpunchーa brilliant and blistering indictment of the West’s economic policies for the world’s poor. Sometimes angry, sometimes irreverent, but always clear-eyed and rigorous, Easterly argues that we in the West need to face our own history of ineptitude and draw the proper conclusions, especially at a time when the question of our ability to transplant Western institutions has become one of the most pressing issues we face.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,723円

Subscribed Why the Subscription Model Will Be Your Company's Future - and What to Do About It【電子書籍】[ Tien Tzuo ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A <em>USA Today</em> bestseller! Companies like Netflix, Spotify, and Salesforce are just the tip of the iceberg for the subscription model. The real transformation--and the real opportunity--is just beginning.</strong></p> <p>Subscription companies are growing nine times faster than the S&P 500. Why? Because unlike product companies, subscription companies know their customers. A happy subscriber base is the ultimate economic moat.</p> <p>Today's consumers prefer the advantages of access over the hassles of maintenance, from transportation (Uber, Surf Air), to clothing (Stitch Fix, Eleven James), to razor blades and makeup (Dollar Shave Club, Birchbox). Companies are similarly demanding easier, long-term solutions, trading their server rooms for cloud storage solutions like Box. Simply put, the world is shifting from products to services.</p> <p>But how do you turn customers into subscribers? As the CEO of the world's largest subscription management platform, Tien Tzuo has helped hundreds of companies transition from relying on individual sales to building customer-centric, recurring-revenue businesses. His core message in <em>Subscribed</em> is simple: Ready or not, excited or terrified, you need to adapt to the Subscription Economy -- or risk being left behind.</p> <p>Tzuo shows how to use subscriptions to build lucrative, ongoing one-on-one relationships with your customers. This may require reinventing substantial parts of your company, from your accounting practices to your entire IT architecture, but the payoff can be enormous. Just look at the case studies:</p> <p><strong>*</strong> Adobe transitions from selling enterprise software licenses to offering cloud-based solutions for a flat monthly fee, and quadruples its valuation.</p> <p><strong>*</strong> Fender evolves from selling guitars one at a time to creating lifelong musicians by teaching beginners to play, and keeping them inspired for life.</p> <p><strong>*</strong> Caterpillar uses subscriptions to help solve problems -- it's not about how many tractors you can rent, but how much dirt you need to move.</p> <p>In <em>Subscribed,</em> you'll learn how these companies made the shift, and how you can transform your own product into a valuable service with a practical, step-by-step framework. Find out how how you can prepare and prosper now, rather than trying to catch up later.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,880円

Japan Restored How Japan Can Reinvent Itself and Why This Is Important for America and the World【電子書籍】[ Clyde Prestowitz ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In <em>Japan Restored, New York Times</em> bestselling author Clyde Prestowitz envisions post-bubble Japan in the year 2050, when the country's economic prosperity will have made it a world leader in every area.</p> <p>In 1979, the book <em>Japan as Number One: Lessons for America</em> by Harvard University professor Ezra Vogel caused a sensation in the United States by pointing out that Japan was surpassing America as world economic leader; to this day, it remains the all-time bestselling non-fiction book by a Western author in Japan. The book was timely: Japan's subsequent "bubble era" of the 1980s saw the country booming. But since the economic bubble burst at the start of the 1990s, Japan has been in decline.</p> <p><em>Japan Restored</em> takes up where Vogel left off. Written as a vision of Japan in the year 2050, Prestowitz looks back to the mid-2010s as such a low point for Japan that a special reform commission was set up that helped the country regain its former position as a leader in technology, in business, and geopolitically. Looking at education, innovation, the role of women, corporate organization, energy, infrastructure, domestic government, and international alliances, Prestowitz draws up a fascinating and controversial blueprint for the future success of Japan.</p> <p>In wake of the 2021 Olympics in Tokyo and the economic chaos caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, <em>Japan Restored</em> is as timely as the 1979 book that inspired it.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,288円

The Case against Education Why the Education System Is a Waste of Time and Money【電子書籍】[ Bryan Caplan ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>Why we need to stop wasting public funds on education</strong></p> <p>Despite being immensely popularーand immensely lucrativeーeducation is grossly overrated. Now with a new afterword by Bryan Caplan, this explosive book argues that the primary function of education is not to enhance students' skills but to signal the qualities of a good employee. Learn why students hunt for easy As only to forget most of what they learn after the final exam, why decades of growing access to education have not resulted in better jobs for average workers, how employers reward workers for costly schooling they rarely ever use, and why cutting education spending is the best remedy. Romantic notions about education being "good for the soul" must yield to careful research and common senseー<em>The Case against Education</em> points the way.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,831円

Europe's Last Chance Why the European States Must Form a More Perfect Union【電子書籍】[ Guy Verhofstadt ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>In the heart of Europe's current crisis, one of the continent's foremost statesmen issues a clarion call to radically remake the European Union in the mold of the United States' own federal government</strong></p> <p>Europe is caught in its greatest crisis since the Second World War. The catalog of ills seems endless: an economic crisis spread through most of Europe's Mediterranean tier that has crippled Greece and driven a wedge between northern and southern Europe; terrorist attacks in Paris, Cologne, Brussels, and Nice; growing aggression from Russia in Ukraine and the Baltic states; and refugees escaping war-torn neighbors. The European Union's inability to handle any of these disasters was a driving factor in Great Britain voting to leave, and others may soon follow. The result won't just be a continent in turmoil, but also a serious threat to American and British security-the Atlantic, let alone the Channel, simply isn't big enough to keep European troubles in Europe. For everyone's sake, Europe must survive.</p> <p>The question is how. In <em>Europe's Last Chance</em>, Guy Verhofstadt-former prime minister of Belgium and current leader of the liberal faction in the European Parliament-provides the essential framework for understanding Europe today, laying bare the absurdity of a system in which each member state can veto legislation, opt in or out of the Euro, or close borders on a whim. But Verhofstadt does not just indict the European Union, he also offers a powerful vision for how the continent can change for the better. The key, argues Verhofstadt, is to reform the European Union along the lines of America's federal government: a United States of Europe strong enough to stand with the United States of America in making a better, safer world.</p> <p>A visionary book from one of today's luminaries of European leadership, <em>Europe's Last Chance</em> is a clarion call to save the European Union, one of the world's greatest chances for peace and prosperity.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,321円

<p>Would it surprise you to know that Joanna Gaines, Abraham Lincoln, Albert Einstein, Oprah, Jerry Seinfeld, C. S. Lewis, Max Lucado, and Meryl Streep are all introverts?
