'De beste Nederlandstalige boeken over economie komen vaak van de hand van niet-economen. Dit boek van historicus Eric Mecking vormt hierop geen uitzondering. Hij onthult op zeer toegankelijke manier hoe groot de gevaren zijn in de huidige financiële markten. Maar de grootste waarde zit in de historische parallellen die Mecking trekt.' - Willem Middelkoop, journalist

'Dit is een boek voor iedereen die zich in de potentiële risico's en de geschiedenis van het beleggen wil verdiepen. Wat mij betreft gaat het tot de klassiekers behoren' - Cees Smit, zelfstandig vermogensbeheerder en broker.

Eric Mecking (1959) studeerde geschiedenis aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam en is thans werkzaam als informatiespecialist.]]>

The Intelligent Investor 106835 Now available for the first time in paperback!

The Classic Text Annotated to Update Graham's Timeless Wisdom for Today's Market Conditions

The greatest investment advisor of the twentieth century, Benjamin Graham taught and inspired people worldwide. Graham's philosophy of "value investing" -- which shields investors from substantial error and teaches them to develop long-term strategies -- has made The Intelligent Investor the stock market bible ever since its original publication in 1949.

Over the years, market developments have proven the wisdom of Graham's strategies. While preserving the integrity of Graham's original text, this revised edition includes updated commentary by noted financial journalist Jason Zweig, whose perspective incorporates the realities of today's market, draws parallels between Graham's examples and today's financial headlines, and gives readers a more thorough understanding of how to apply Graham's principles.

Vital and indispensable, this HarperBusiness Essentials edition of The Intelligent Investor is the most important book you will ever read on how to reach your financial goals.]]>

Physics of the Impossible 1168341
One hundred years ago, scientists would have said that lasers, televisions, and the atomic bomb were beyond the realm of physical possibility. In Physics of the Impossible, the renowned physicist Michio Kaku explores to what extent the technologies and devices of science fiction that are deemed equally impossible today might well become commonplace in the future.

From teleportation to telekinesis, Kaku uses the world of science fiction to explore the fundamentals—and the limits—of the laws of physics as we know them today. He ranks the impossible technologies by categories—Class I, II, and III, depending on when they might be achieved, within the next century, millennia, or perhaps never. In a compelling and thought-provoking narrative, he explains:
· How the science of optics and electromagnetism may one day enable us to bend light around an object, like a stream flowing around a boulder, making the object invisible to observers “downstream�
· How ramjet rockets, laser sails, antimatter engines, and nanorockets may one day take us to the nearby stars
· How telepathy and psychokinesis, once considered pseudoscience, may one day be possible using advances in MRI, computers, superconductivity, and nanotechnology
· Why a time machine is apparently consistent with the known laws of quantum physics, although it would take an unbelievably advanced civilization to actually build one
Kaku uses his discussion of each technology as a jumping-off point to explain the science behind it. An extraordinary scientific adventure, Physics of the Impossible takes readers on an unforgettable, mesmerizing journey into the world of science that both enlightens and entertains.]]>

Socrates op sneakers 49105212 Socrates op sneakers tackelt praktisch filosoof Elke Wiss de kunst van een goed gesprek. In een tijd waarin iedereen door elkaar roeptoetert en meningen al snel dezelfde waarde als feiten krijgen, is de verbinding vaak ver te zoeken. We proberen de ander eerder te overtuigen van ons gelijk dan dat we samen op zoek gaan naar wezenlijke antwoorden. Veel van onze gesprekken hebben daardoor meer weg van een debat dan van een dialoog. We praten liever dan dat we luisteren, voor vragen stellen hebben we geen tijd. En toegeven iets niet te weten is al helemaal geen optie. Hoe mooi zou het zijn als je op elk moment en in iedere situatie weet hoe je precies dĂ­Ă© vraag stelt die leidt tot een goed gesprek?

In Socrates op sneakers leert Elke Wiss je hoe je dat doet. Met Socrates en andere filosofen als inspiratiebron laat zij zien waarom we zo slecht zijn in het stellen van goede vragen, Ă©n hoe we er beter in worden. Socrates op sneakers leert je de vaardigheden die nodig zijn om die vragen te stellen die verrassen en aan het denken zetten. Zodat we gesprekken voeren die leiden tot verdieping en verbinding. Met een ander, Ă©n met jezelf.]]>

<![CDATA[The Obstacle Is the Way: The Timeless Art of Turning Trials into Triumph]]> 18668059 “The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.� � Marcus Aurelius

We are stuck, stymied, frustrated. But it needn’t be this way. There is a formula for success that’s been followed by the icons of history—from John D. Rockefeller to Amelia Earhart to Ulysses S. Grant to Steve Jobs—a formula that let them turn obstacles into opportunities. Faced with impossible situations, they found the astounding triumphs we all seek.

These men and women were not exceptionally brilliant, lucky, or gifted. Their success came from timeless philosophical principles laid down by a Roman emperor who struggled to articulate a method for excellence in any and all situations.

This book reveals that formula for the first time—and shows us how we can turn our own adversity into advantage.]]>
