The 80/20 Principle and 92 Other Powerful Laws of Nature: The Science of Success
by Richard KochIn a brand new Preface, bestselling author Richard Koch describes a paradigm shift in business, whereby intuition is more important than analysis, ideas and product trump strategy, and influence is superior to control. In this essential companion to his bestselling The 80/20 Principle - the radical power law that helped thousands of people achieve more by doing less - Koch illuminates 92 other universal principles and laws to promote the science of success in an increasingly challenging business environment.
The 80/20 Principle and 92 Other Powerful Laws of Nature
by Richard KochIn this follow-up to his best-selling The 80/20 Principle, the power law that helped hundreds of thousands achieve more by doing less, Richard Koch puts science to work, applying ninety-two other natural laws to promote the "science of success" within the ever-changing world of business. What does Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection prove about developing a niche product line? How can Isaac Newton's laws of motion and gravity help in a crowded marketplace? This is a must-have book for business leaders looking for clear, evidence-based reasoning that explains why some companies seem to find success everywhere they turn, while others don't make progress.
81 Days Below Zero: The Incredible Survival Story of a World War II Pilot in Alaska's Frozen Wilderness
by Brian MurphyShortly before Christmas in 1943, five Army aviators left Alaska’s Ladd Field on a test flight. Only one ever returned: Leon Crane, a city kid from Philadelphia with little more than a parachute on his back when he bailed from his B-24 Liberator before it crashed into the Arctic. Alone in subzero temperatures, Crane managed to stay alive in the dead of the Yukon winter for nearly twelve weeks and, amazingly, walked out of the ordeal intact. 81 Days Below Zero recounts, for the first time, the full story of Crane’s remarkable saga. In a drama of staggering resolve with moments of phenomenal luck, Crane learned to survive in the Yukon’s unforgiving landscape. His is a tale of the human capacity to endure extreme conditions and intense lonelinessand emerge stronger than before.
8ed Der Beobachter der Genesis: Die Wissenschaft hinter der Schöpfungsgeschichte
by Alberto CanenDie Genesis ist seit Tausenden von Jahren ein Rätsel. Niemand war in der Lage zu verstehen, wovon der Text sprach, ob er nur ein einleitendes Gedicht zur Heiligen Schrift war oder ob er tatsächlich Informationen über die Schöpfung enthielt. Der Text der Genesis spaltet bis heute die Gemüter von Kreationisten und Wissenschaftlern. Mit diesem Buch hoffe ich, diese Trennung zwischen Wissenschaftlern und Kreationisten aufzuweichen, denn ich habe den Schlüssel entdeckt, der beide Welten vereint. Ich denke, der Schlüssel zum Geheimnis der Genesis liegt darin, zu verstehen, dass sie von jemandem erzählt wird. Einem Erzähler der Genesis. Jemand, der die Vision, die Gott ihm gibt, beobachtet und von dort aus erzählt, was er beobachtet, und er beobachtet es von seinem menschlichen und irdischen Standort aus. Dieser irdische und genaue Standort ist der Schlüssel zum Verständnis der Genesis.

8th Workshop on Theory, Phenomenology and Experiments in Flavour Physics: Neutrinos, Flavor Physics and Beyond (FP@Capri2022) (Springer Proceedings in Physics #292)
by Giulia Ricciardi Guglielmo De Nardo Mario MerolaThis book is a collection of invited contributions presented at the 8th edition of the International Workshop on Theory, Phenomenology and Experiments in Flavour Physics, held on the Island of Capri, Italy, on 11–13 June 2022. It is a joint workshop between experimentalists and theoreticians aiming at debating recent results and hot topics in flavour physics, in an interdisciplinary effort. Flavour, electroweak physics and neutrino physics are all foremost in the assessment of results within the standard model and search for physics beyond. Anomalies in flavour physics are hints on new physics, while with neutrino masses and oscillations the new physics has already started. Contributions deal mainly with the flavour anomalies, the flavour problem from leptons to quarks and back, including continuous versus discrete symmetries, and the connections between the Higgs sector and neutrinos, embracing see-saw models and Higgs potential analyses. Focus is on neutrinos, at high and low scales, including LHC searches and CLVF, leptogenesis, connections with dark sectors and NP mediators, non-standard neutrino interactions and the problem of the nature of massive neutrinos.
9 Millionen Fahrräder am Rande des Universums: Obskures aus Forschung und Wissenschaft (Erlebnis Wissenschaft)
by Michael Gross»Hofnarr« der Chemie Ausgeforscht - so heißt eine Rubrik in den »Nachrichten aus der Chemie«, in der der Chemiker und Wissenschaftsjournalist Michael Groß alle zwei Monate einen seiner »unsachlichen« Beiträge veröffentlicht - als »Hofnarr«, wie er selbst sagt. Groß schafft in seinen ironischheiteren Kommentaren die seltene Kombination aus guter, unterhaltsamer Schreibe und der Vermittlung von Fachwissen. Gerne sucht er sich abseitige Themen, scheinbar jedenfalls. Aber was ist schon abseitig für Forscher, die aus verwesenden Fischen die Biolumineszenz herauskitzeln oder mit Rattenschwänzen experimentieren? 100 »unsachliche« Beiträge »9 Millionen Fahrräder am Rande des Universums« ist eine Sammlung seiner Glossen und Kommentare der letzten 10 Jahre. In 100 »unsachlichen « Beiträgen kommentiert Dr. Groß respektlos und für alle verständlich Forschung und Forscher und entdeckt die Komik im Normalen. Hier finden Sie Antwort auf die Frage, warum trotz guter Luft im Großraumbüro schlechtes Klima herrschen kann und es Einzelnen gehörig stinkt. Oder Sie erfahren, was es mit dem aufregenden Liebesleben der Glühwürmchen, die biologisch korrekt Leuchtkäfer heißen, auf sich hat. Sprachpirouetten statt Fachchinesisch Launig dreht Michael Groß seine sprachlichen Pirouetten, erklärt fast spielerisch wissenschaftliche Sachverhalte, stellt - für jeden leicht nachvollziehbar - neue Forschungsergebnisse vor, spießt aber genauso leidenschaftlich Themen aus der Kategorie Pleiten, Pech und Pannen auf; wie die Fehlkonstruktion der Londoner Millenniums-Fußgängerbrücke über die Themse, die im Jahr 2000 eröffnet wurde. Leider hatten die Ingenieure nicht daran gedacht, dass durchaus auch mal Fußgänger über eine Fußgängerbrücke laufen bzw. an die Schwingungen, die diese verursachen. Was aus der Riesenschaukel wurde? Lesen Sie selbst!

The A B C of Nerves (Psychology Revivals)
by D.F. Fraser-HarrisOriginally published in 1928, the preface reads: "It is almost impossible to distinguish between what is ‘elementary’ and what is ‘advanced’ in regard to the nervous system. The constitution and functions of that system are so little matters of common knowledge that it would be safe to assume that practically nothing of its physiology is known to the ordinary reader. The selection of what is necessary to be known and likely to be comprehended by readers who have no previous knowledge of anatomy and physiology is, therefore, no easy task. It is certain that in the opinion of some authorities much has been omitted that should have been included; one can but say in self-defence that to have included more than is here considered would have exceeded the limits of a treatise whose title is the A B C." Today it can be read and enjoyed in its historical context.

A vivir la ciencia: Las pasiones que despierta el conocimiento
by Pere EstupinyàPere Estupinyà vuelve a demostrar que la ciencia, bien explicada, no solo resulta interesantísima, sino que es la herramienta fundamental para mejorar el mundo y nuestra vida. Este libro es una invitación a descubrirnos a nosotros mismos y lo que nos rodea a través de la ciencia. Con historias sorprendentes y un estilo ameno, directo, apasionado, riguroso y divulgativo, Estupinyà amplía en estas páginas sus conversaciones dominicales junto a Javier Sampedro y Javier del Pino en el programa A Vivir de la Cadena SER con todo tipo de expertos en neurociencia, astrofísica, biología, paleontología, psicología, sociología, filosofía, tecnología, medioambiente y salud humana. Agrupadas según las emociones que le suscitan, transitaremos por la esperanza ante los pequeños milagros de la medicina; la introspección al explorar la psique humana; la diversión ante los temas más disparatados y entretenidos; la curiosidad al revelar los mundos más lejanos e invisibles; la indignación por la resistencia a aprovechar el conocimiento científico; la preocupación por la crisis climática y el deterioro del planeta; la inspiración para mejorar aspectos sociales gracias a los descubrimientos científicos; el asombro al ver que la realidad se acerca cada día más a la ficción; y la responsabilidad, porque el futuro no depende de la tecnología sino de nosotros los humanos. A Vivir la ciencia nace de la curiosidad, pero también es una llamada al cambio. Salpicado con apreciaciones personales del autor, es una reivindicación a pensar científicamente y a utilizar los pequeños milagros de la ciencia para el bien individual y colectivo.
