Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Is the future about to close in, or is it open to new horizons For anthropologist Tim Ingold, the root of our difficulty in facing up to the future lies in the way we think about generations. We imagine them as layers, succeeding one another like sheets in a stack. This view figures as a largely unquestioned backdrop to discussions of evolution, life and death, longevity, extinction, sustainability, education, climate change and other matters of contemporary concern. What if we were to think of generations, instead, as wrapping around one another along their length, more like fibres in a rope than stacked sheets In this compelling new book, Ingold argues that a return to the idea that life is forged in the collaboration of overlapping generations might not only assuage some of our anxieties, but also offer a lasting foundation for future coexistence. But it would mean having to abandon our faith both in the inevitability of progress, and in the ability of science and technology to cushion humanity from environmental impacts. A perfect world is not around the corner, nor will our troubles ever end. Nevertheless, for as long as life continues, there is hope for generations to come.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In our busy and hurried lives, we are losing the ability to be inactive. Human existence becomes fully absorbed by activity - even leisure, treated as a respite from work, becomes part of the same logic. Intense life today means first of all more performance or more consumption. We have forgotten that it is precisely inactivity, which does not produce anything, that represents an intense and radiant form of life.For Byung-Chul Han, inactivity constitutes the human. Without moments of pause or hesitation, acting deteriorates into blind action and reaction. When life follows the rule of stimulus-response and need-satisfaction, it atrophies into pure survival: naked biological life. If we lose the ability to be inactive, we begin to resemble machines that simply function. True life begins when concern for survival, for the exigencies of mere life, ends. The ultimate purpose of all human endeavour is inactivity.In a beautifully crafted ode to the art of being still, Han shows that the current crisis in our society calls for a very different way of life: one based on the vita contemplative. He pleads for bringing our ceaseless activities to a stop and making room for the magic that happens in between. Life receives its radiance only from inactivity.Also available as an audiobook.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What do cinematic 'universes,' cloud archiving, and voice cloning have in common They're in the business of foreverizing - the process of revitalizing things that have degraded, failed, or disappeared so that they can remain active in the present. To foreverize something is to reanimate it, to enclose and protect it from time and the elements, and to eradicate the feeling of nostalgia that accompanies loss. Foreverizing is a bulwark against instability, but it isn't an infallible enterprise. That which is promised to last forever often does not, and that which is disposed of can sometimes last, disturbingly, forever.In this groundbreaking book, American philosopher Grafton Tanner develops his theory of foreverism: an anti-nostalgic discourse that promises growth without change and life without loss. Engaging with pressing issues from the ecological impact of data storage to the rise of reboot culture, Tanner tracks the implications of a society averse to nostalgia and reveals the new weapons we have for eliminating it.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Many contemporary philosophers - including Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, and Giorgio Agamben - ascribe an ethical or political value to anarchy, but none ever called themselves an 'anarchist.' It is as if anarchism were unmentionable and had to be concealed, even though its critique of domination and of government is poached by the philosophers. Stop Thief! calls out the plundering of anarchism by philosophy. It's a call that is all the more resonant today as the planetary demand for an alternative political realm raises a deafening cry. It also alerts us to a new philosophical awakening. Catherine Malabou proposes to answer the cry by re-elaborating a concept of anarchy articulated around a notion of the 'non-governable' far beyond an inciting of disobedience or common critiques of capitalism. Anarchism is the only way out, the only pathway that allows us to question the legitimacy of political domination and thereby wfree up the confidence that we need if we are to survive. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In February 2022, Russian missiles rained on Ukrainian cities, and tanks rolled towards Kyiv to end Ukrainian independent statehood. President Zelensky declined a Western evacuation offer and Ukrainians rallied to defend their country. What are the roots of this war, which has upended the international legal order and brought back the spectre of nuclear escalation How did these supposedly 'brotherly peoples' become each other's worst nightmare In Russia and Ukraine: Entangled Histories, Diverging States, Maria Popova and Oxana Shevel explain how since 1991 Russia and Ukraine diverged politically, ending up on a collision course. Russia slid back into authoritarianism and imperialism, while Ukraine consolidated a competitive political system and pro-European identity. As Ukraine built a democratic nation-state, Russia refused to accept it and came to see it as an 'anti-Russia' project. After political and economic pressure proved ineffective, and even counterproductive, Putin went to war to force Ukraine back into the fold of the 'Russian world.' Ukraine resisted, determined to pursue European integration as a sovereign state. These irreconcilable goals, rather than geopolitical wrangling between Russia and the West over NATO expansion, are - the authors argue - essential to understanding Russia's war on Ukraine.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The sales book of the decade' --Selling Power magazineValue Capture Selling is the first book to directly address one of the most destructive shortcomings in sales organizations today. Author JC Larreche's approach is so innovative that Selling Power magazine named it 'The sales book of the decade.'For years, sales professionals have focused on creating value for their customers--the first phase in selling. However, in today's fast-moving world of business, that is just not enough. Under increased financial pressure, businesses today are being pushed to move to an emphasis on the second phase of selling: the capture of corporate value. However, as all-too-many business leaders are finding out to their great dismay, sales professionals have not been trained in the techniques for the capture of corporate value, and they are at the mercy of very well-trained and tough professional buyers.Value Capture Selling is the first book to address this gap. It is specifically designed to provide sales professionals--both veteran and new alike--with a complete roadmap for making the transition from value selling to value-capture selling, including:\* Why the creation of corporate value--short, medium, and long term--is essential for the firm and its internal and external partners\* How to master the key drivers of corporate value: profitability, market share, and customer satisfaction\* How to prepare for value capture\* How to frame strategies and tactics for value capture\* How to close deals for higher corporate value captureValue-capture selling is the current challenge for corporations and sales professionals everywhere--making the transition from a revenue objective to a focus on corporate value. This requires a fundamental shift from a strong belief that bigger is better to a new creed that richer is better. It is what JC Larreche, professor emeritus at INSEAD and an expert on sustainable value creation, calls the 3rd Sales Transformation.In a future marked by escalating financial pressures, the significance of value capture will only grow, and in Value Capture Selling, JC Larreche provides sales professionals everywhere with the tools they need to become masters at this new art!Praise for Value Capture Selling:'Most sales forces focus only on revenue, not value capture. Larreche's book can help you make the necessary transition. If you are in Sales, read it because the data revolution is increasing scrutiny from Finance and others in your firm about how selling efforts build or destroy enterprise value. And if you are a C-Suite executive, read it carefully, because selling affects core elements of value creation.'--Frank Cespedes, Harvard Business School, author of Aligning Strategy and Sales and Sales Management That Works'Value Capture Selling is a very compelling and complete work that illustrates well the challenges of the transition from product value to corporate value--both for the customer and for the supplier.
