Your cell phone provider tracks your location and knows who’s with you. Your online and in-store purchasing patterns are recorded, and reveal if you're unemployed, sick, or pregnant. Your e-mails and texts expose your intimate and casual friends. Google knows what you’re thinking because it saves your private searches. Facebook can determine your sexual orientation without you ever mentioning it.

The powers that surveil us do more than simply store this information. Corporations use surveillance to manipulate not only the news articles and advertisements we each see, but also the prices we’re offered. Governments use surveillance to discriminate, censor, chill free speech, and put people in danger worldwide. And both sides share this information with each other or, even worse, lose it to cybercriminals in huge data breaches.

Much of this is we cooperate with corporate surveillance because it promises us convenience, and we submit to government surveillance because it promises us protection. The result is a mass surveillance society of our own making. But have we given up more than we’ve gained? In Data and Goliath, security expert Bruce Schneier offers another path, one that values both security and privacy. He brings his bestseller up-to-date with a new preface covering the latest developments, and then shows us exactly what we can do to reform government surveillance programs, shake up surveillance-based business models, and protect our individual privacy. You'll never look at your phone, your computer, your credit cards, or even your car in the same way again.]]> 398 Bruce Schneier 0393244822 feyza 0 to-read 4.09 2015

Asalak avcı-toplayıcı geçim biçimi yaşanan dönemlerde yaşamsal sorunlarına (açlık, üreme, yaşar-kalma) doyurucu çözümler üretmeye yeterli olmayan ilkel kültürlü topluluk insanının, "gerçeklik dünyasında" çözemediği sorunlarına, "analoji mantığı" ekseninde döndürdüğü "sihirsel düşünüş ve kültür" ile çözme umuduna kapılışı betimlenmekte. Bu yolda arkeolojik ve antropolojik veriler izle-nerek, tutumu şöyle yansıtılmakta: "Düşmanına diş geçiremeyen kuklasına şiş geçirir" ve "insan simgelerle savaşır, simgelerle sevişir!"

Uygar toplum (kentli, katmanlı, devletli, eşitsizlikçi toplumlar) dönemi üstyapısının, "tümdengelim mantığı" temeline dayandırılan inançlarla örüldüğü belirtilmekte. İnsanın ve toplumun kendisini "bilen ve bildiğini bilen tek gerçek özne" yapan özelliğinin, gerçekliği bilme ve onu kendi bireysel ve topluluğunun "kolektif eylemi" ile değiştirebilme yetilerinin yadsınıp elinden alınarak "Rab" (Efendi) denen sanal aşkınöznelere sunulmasıyla kul/köle konumuna düşürülmesinde kullanı-lan "dinsel ideolojinin işlevi" üzerinde odaklanılmakta. Bu noktada, insan anlayışında, insanlığın ilk sınıflı uygar toplumlarının görüldüğü Mezopotamya'da Sümer/Babil Yaratılış Mitosu içinde, insanın "tanrılara" hizmet/kulluk etmesi amacıyla ve "balçıktan" (Tevrat, Yaratılış, 1:27; Kur'an, Secde: 9) yaratılışı inancına demir atıldığı gösterilmekte. Bu yaratılış inancının imparatorluk ideolojisi işlevi görecek Tektanrıcılığa, olduğu gibi, biçimi (balçıktan yaratılma) ve içeriği (tanrılara/tanrıya kulluk etmesi amacı) ile kopyalanarak geçirilişi ortaya konmakta.

]]> 583766 Originally published in 1975 and reprinted more than twenty times over a quarter century -- and now available for the first time from Dorset House Publishing -- the text uses clear writing and basic algebraic principles to explore new approaches to projects, products, organizations, and virtually any kind of system.

Scientists, engineers, organization leaders, managers, doctors, students, and thinkers of all disciplines can use this book to dispel the mental fog that clouds problem-solving. As author Gerald M. Weinberg writes in the new preface to the Silver Anniversary Edition, "I haven’t changed my conviction that most people don’t think nearly as well as they could had they been taught some principles of thinking.��

Now an award-winning author of nearly forty books spanning the entire software development life cycle, Weinberg had already acquired extensive experience as a programmer, manager, university professor, and consultant when this book was originally published.

With helpful illustrations, numerous end-of-chapter exercises, and an appendix on a mathematical notation used in problem-solving, An Introduction to General Systems Thinking may be your most powerful tool in working with problems, systems, and solutions.]]> 320 Gerald M.

The Origins of Totalitarianism begins with the rise of anti-Semitism in central and western Europe in the 1800s and continues with an examination of European colonial imperialism from 1884 to the outbreak of World War I. Arendt explores the institutions and operations of totalitarian movements, focusing on the two genuine forms of totalitarian government in our time—Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia—which she adroitly recognizes were two sides of the same coin, rather than opposing philosophies of Right and Left. From this vantage point, she discusses the evolution of classes into masses, the role of propaganda in dealing with the nontotalitarian world, the use of terror, and the nature of isolation and loneliness as preconditions for total domination.]]> 527 Hannah Arendt feyza 0 politics 4.30 1951

For example, why is it that 95% of all diet attempts fail? Why do New Year's Resolutions last no more than a few days? Why can't people with good intentions seem to make consistent and positive strides in the way they want to improve their careers, financial fitness, physical fitness, and so on?

Based upon the latest research in a number of psychological and medical fields, the authors of CHANGE ANYTHING will show that traditional will-power is not necessarily the answer to these strivings, that people are affected in their behaviors by far more subtle influences. CHANGE ANYTHING shows how individuals can come to understand these powerful and influential forces, and how to put these forces to work in a positive manner that brings real and meaningful results.

The authors present an array of everyday examples that will change and truly empower you to reexamine the way you go about your business and life.]]> 262 Kerry Patterson 0446573914 feyza 0 to-read 3.88 2011

]]> 168962 Crucial Conversations show you how to achieve personal, team, and organizational success by healing broken promises, resolving violated expectations, and influencing good behavior.

Behind the problems that routinely plague organizations and families, you'll find individuals who are either unwilling or unable to deal with failed promises. Others have broken rules, missed deadlines, failed to live up to commitments, or just plain behaved badly—and nobody steps up to the issue. Or they do, but do a lousy job and create a whole new set of problems. Accountability suffers and new problems spring up. New research demonstrates that these disappointments aren't just irritating, they're costly—sapping organizational performance by twenty to fifty percent and accounting for up to ninety percent of divorces.

Crucial Confrontations teaches skills drawn from 10,000 hours of real-life observations to increase confidence in facing issues like:

- An employee speaks to you in an insulting tone that crosses the line between sarcasm and insubordination. Now what?
- Your boss just committed you to a deadline you know you can't meet—and not-so-subtly hinted he doesn't want to hear complaints about it.
- Your son walks through the door sporting colorful new body art that raises your blood pressure by forty points. Speak now, pay later.
- An accountant wonders how to step up to a client who is violating the law. Can you spell unemployment?
- Family members fret over how to tell granddad that he should no longer drive his car. This is going to get ugly.
- A nurse worries about what to say to an abusive physician. She quickly remembers "how things work around here" and decides not to say anything.

Everyone knows how to run for cover, or if adequately provoked, step up to these confrontations in a way that causes a real ruckus. That we have down pat. Crucial Confrontations teaches you how to deal with violated expectations in a way that solves the problem at hand, and doesn't harm the relationship—and in fact, even strengthens it.

Crucial Confrontations borrows from twenty years of research involving two groups. More than 25,000 people helped the authors identify those who were most influential during crucial confrontations. They spent 10,000 hours watching these people, documented what they saw, and then trained and tested with more than 300,000 people. Second, they measured the impact of crucial confrontations improvements on organizational and team performance—the results were immediate and sustainable: twenty to fifty percent improvements in measurable performance.]]> 280 Kerry Patterson 0071446524 feyza 0 to-read 4.06 2004

In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling�� and “fascinating,�� Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum.

Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master��), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness��), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally��). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game.]]> 452 Robert Greene 0140280197 feyza 0 cosy_germany 4.11 1998

The inspiration for the upcoming original series on Prime Video, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.

The Two Towers is the second part of J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic adventure The Lord of the Rings.

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

Frodo and his Companions of the Ring have been beset by danger during their quest to prevent the Ruling Ring from falling into the hands of the Dark Lord by destroying it in the Cracks of Doom. They have lost the wizard, Gandalf, in a battle in the Mines of Moria. And Boromir, seduced by the power of the Ring, tried to seize it by force. While Frodo and Sam made their escape, the rest of the company was attacked by Orcs. Now they continue the journey alone down the great River Anduin—alone, that is, save for the mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go.]]> 448 J.R.R.

]]> 38485991 An all-encompassing guide to skeptical thinking in the popular "The Skeptics Guide to the Universe" podcast's dryly humorous, accessible style.

It's intimidating to realize that we live in a world overflowing with misinformation, bias, myths, deception, and flawed knowledge. There really are no ultimate authority figures-no one has the secret and there is no place to look up the definitive answers to our questions (not even Google). But, by thinking skeptically and logically, we can combat sloppy reasoning, bad arguments and superstitious thinking. It's difficult, and takes a lot of vigilance, but it's worth the effort.

In this tie-in to their incredibly popular "The Skeptics Guide to the Universe" podcast, Steven Novella, MD along with "Skeptical Rogues" Bob Novella, Cara Santa Maria, Jay Novella, and Evan Bernstein will explain the tenets of skeptical thinking and debunk some of the biggest scientific myths, fallacies and conspiracy theories (Anti-vaccines, homeopathy, UFO sightings, etc.) They'll help us try to make sense of what seems like an increasingly crazy world using powerful tools like science and philosophy. THE SKEPTICS' GUIDE TO THE UNIVERSE is your guide through this maze of modern life. It covers essential critical thinking skills, as well as giving insight into how your brain works and how to avoid common pitfalls in thinking. They discuss the difference between science and pseudoscience, how to recognize common science news tropes, how to discuss conspiracy theories with that crazy coworker of yours, and how to apply all of this to everyday life.

So, are you ready to join them on an epic scientific quest, one that has taken us from huddling in dark caves to stepping foot on the Moon? (Yes, we really did that.) Like all adventures, this one is foremost a journey of self discovery. The monsters you will slay and challenges you will face are mostly constructs of your own mind. With the SKEPTIC'S GUIDE TO THE UNIVERSE, we can do this together.]]> 448 Steven Novella feyza 0 4.39 2018

The Return of the King is the third part of J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic adventure The Lord of the Rings.

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

The Dark Lord has risen, and as he unleashes hordes of Orcs to conquer all Middle-earth, Frodo and Sam struggle deep into his realm in Mordor.

To defeat Sauron, the One Ring must be destroyed in the fires of Mount Doom. But the way is impossibly hard, and Frodo is weakening. The Ring corrupts all who bear it and Frodo’s time is running out.

Will Sam and Frodo succeed, or will the Dark Lord rule Middle-earth once more?]]> 432 J.R.R. Tolkien feyza 0 cosy_germany 4.67 1955

İşte Ezbere Yaşayanlar, bir türlü vazgeçemediğimiz alışkanlıklarımızın tarihî arka planıyla birlikte antropolojik, sosyolojik ve psikolojik kökenlerini irdeliyor.

Bizim gibi olmayanlara neden tahammül edemiyor, yabancıdan ve farklıdan neden korkuyoruz? İnsanları niçin konuşma tarzına göre yargılıyor, argo kullananlara ya da aksanlı konuşanlara niçin yukarıdan bakıyoruz? Şu rasyonalite çağında neden hediye alıyoruz ve birbirimize bir şeyler ısmarlıyoruz? Niçin dedikodu yapmaktan vazgeçemiyoruz? Son elli yılda birçok hak edindikleri halde kadınlar neden erkeklerden farklı meslekler tercih etmekte ısrar ediyor? Bunca bilimsel gelişmeye rağmen neden hâlâ fala ve büyüye inanıyoruz?

Yukarıdaki sorulara cevap ararken anekdot denizinde boğulmadan diyardan diyara koşup çağdan çağa savrulacağız. Taş Çağı'ndan modern zamanlara, Kalahari Çölü'nden Trobriand Adaları'na, Güney Sudan'dan Alp Dağları'na, Çin'den Aztek diyarlarına keyifli bir yolculuğa çıkmaya, Evliya Çelebi'den Torquemada'ya, James Cook'tan Şamhat'a, Kraliçe Njinga'dan İmparatoriçe İrene'ye, konuşan şempanzelerden Akıllı At Hans'a, yamyamlardan hadımlara birçok ilginç karakterle tanışmaya hazır mısınız?

Ezbere Yaşayanlar'da iki yüz bin yıllık insanlık mirasının ortaya koyduğu birbirinden değişik toplum ve kültüre yönelerek davranışlarımızı şekillendiren ana etmenleri inceleyecek; kültürle biyoloji, geçmişle gelecek, gelenekle yenilik arasındaki çekişmeyi merkeze alarak, şartların alışkanlıklarımızı ne noktaya kadar değiştirebildiğini tetkik edecek ve doğamıza ne kadar hükmedebildiğimizi göreceğiz.]]> 379 Emrah Safa Gürkan 6258431135 feyza 0 cosy_germany 4.19 2022

]]> 21941574 Deniz Kurdu ile devam ediyoruz. Varlıklı bir aileden gelen Humphrey Van Weyden, geçirdiği deniz kazasının ardından Hayalet adlı uskunanın kaptanı Wolf Larsen tarafından kurtarılır. Barışçıl bir "beyefendi" olarak, iradesi dışında Larsen'in hizmetine girmesiyle kendini şiddet dolu "gerçek dünya"da bulacak; bu deneyim onu elitist bir entelektüelden, cesur bir eylem adamına dönüştürecektir. Van Weyden'la Larsen arasındaki çatışma, yalnızca zayıf olanın ezildiği bir dövüş değil, bir fikir savaşıdır aynı zamanda. Hayatı "kutsal" olarak gören Van Weyden'ın idealizmiyle, var olmak dışında bir kaygı taşımayan Wolf Larsen'in materyalizmi arasındaki karşıtlık roman boyunca yinelenirken, Deniz Kurdu'nu farklı düzeylerde okunabilecek bir yapıt haline getirir. Ancak, London'ın en büyük başarısı hiç kuşkusuz ustalıkla geliştirip ete kemiğe büründürdüğü unutulmaz Wolf Larsen karakteridir. Nietzsche'nin "üstinsan" kavramını anıştıran Wolf Larsen, Ambrose Bierce'in de dikkat çektiği gibi, bir yazarın yaratabileceği en muazzam karakterlerden biridir...]]> 376 Jack London feyza 0 cosy_germany 4.24 1904

]]> 117833 The first complete, annotated English Translation of Mikhail Bulgakov's comic masterpiece.

An audacious revision of the stories of Faust and Pontius Pilate, The Master and Margarita is recognized as one of the essential classics of modern Russian literature. The novel's vision of Soviet life in the 1930s is so ferociously accurate that it could not be published during its author's lifetime and appeared only in a censored edition in the 1960s. Its truths are so enduring that its language has become part of the common Russian speech.

One hot spring, the devil arrives in Moscow, accompanied by a retinue that includes a beautiful naked witch and an immense talking black cat with a fondness for chess and vodka. The visitors quickly wreak havoc in a city that refuses to believe in either God or Satan. But they also bring peace to two unhappy Muscovites: one is the Master, a writer pilloried for daring to write a novel about Christ and Pontius Pilate; the other is Margarita, who loves the Master so deeply that she is willing literally to go to hell for him. What ensues is a novel of inexhaustible energy, humor, and philosophical depth, a work whose nuances emerge for the first time in Diana Burgin's and Katherine Tiernan O'Connor's splendid English version.]]> 372 Mikhail Bulgakov 0679760806 feyza 0 4.31 1967

Within the grounds of Hailsham, Kathy grows from schoolgirl to young woman, but it’s only when she and her friends Ruth and Tommy leave the safe grounds of the school (as they always knew they would) that they realize the full truth of what Hailsham is.

Never Let Me Go breaks through the boundaries of the literary novel. It is a gripping mystery, a beautiful love story, and also a scathing critique of human arrogance and a moral examination of how we treat the vulnerable and different in our society. In exploring the themes of memory and the impact of the past, Ishiguro takes on the idea of a possible future to create his most moving and powerful book to date.]]> 288 Kazuo Ishiguro 1400078776 feyza 0 3.85 2005

In 1942, with the Nazis occupying Holland, a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl and her family fled their home in Amsterdam and went into hiding. For the next two years, until their whereabouts were betrayed to the Gestapo, the Franks and another family lived cloistered in the “Secret Annexe�� of an old office building. Cut off from the outside world, they faced hunger, boredom, the constant cruelties of living in confined quarters, and the ever-present threat of discovery and death. In her diary Anne Frank recorded vivid impressions of her experiences during this period. By turns thoughtful, moving, and surprisingly humorous, her account offers a fascinating commentary on human courage and frailty and a compelling self-portrait of a sensitive and spirited young woman whose promise was tragically cut short.

Mary Shelley yaşadığı dönem, bulunduğu çevre ve geldiği aile sebebiyle edebiyat tarihinin nevi şahsına münhasır yazarlarından biri olsa da ona ölümsüzlüğü getiren şey “yaratıcılığı��. Shelley'nin iki asır önce kaleme aldığı Frankenstein pek çoklarınca ilk bilimkurgu eseri olmasının yanı sıra gotiğin, korkunun hatta romansın bir araya geldiği gerçek bir edebiyat klasiği. Eserden daha büyük popülariteye ulaşan, kişinin kendi yaratımı tarafından yok edildiği “Frankenstein Teması�� ise hem kültürümüzün önemli bir parçası hem de Shelley'nin izlerini takip eden pek çok yazarın çıkış noktası.

Doğanın sınırlarını zorlamaya kararlı olan genç bilim insanı Victor Frankenstein ceset parçalarını birleştirip uzun çalışmaları sonucunda yaratığına can verir. Başlangıçta nezaket ve iyilik dolu olan canavar, toplumun zulmünden dolayı gün geçtikçe acımasızlaşır ve onu terk eden yaratıcısından intikam almaya karar verir.

Yaratıcının, yaratımına karşı bir sorumluluğu var mı? Yoksa canavar dünyada yalnız bırakıldığı için intikam aramakta haklı mı?

Frankenstein, bilimkurgunun Aydınlanması.

]]> 233221 Homo Ludens, the classic evaluation of play that has become a "must-read" for those in game design, Dutch philosopher Johan Huizinga defines play as the central activity in flourishing societies. Like civilization, play requires structure and participants willing to create within limits. Starting with Plato, Huizinga traces the contribution of Homo Ludens, or "Man the player" through Medieval Times, the Renaissance, and into our modern civilization. Huizinga defines play against a rich theoretical background, using cross-cultural examples from the humanities, business, and politics. Homo Ludens defines play for generations to come.

"A happier age than ours once made bold to call our species by the name of Homo Sapiens. In the course of time we have come to realize that we are not so reasonable after all as the Eighteenth Century with its worship of reason and naive optimism, though us; "hence moder fashion inclines to designate our species asHomo Faber Man the Maker. But though faber may not be quite so dubious as sapiens it is, as a name specific of the human being, even less appropriate, seeing that many animals too are makers. There is a third function, howver, applicable to both human and animal life, and just as important as reasoning and making--namely, playing. it seems to me that next to Homo Faber, and perhaps on the same level as Homo Sapiens, Homo Ludens, Man the Player, deserves a place in our nomenclature.

Görünmez el, iktisatta en çok bilinen ifade; temel iktisat anlatısına göre her şeye dokunur, her şeyi yönetir, her şeye karar verir ama ne görünür ne de hissedilir. Yukarıdan, dışarıdan müdahale etmez, şeyleri kurcalayıp yerlerini değiştirmez; bireylerin eylem ve seçimlerinin içinde ve arasında ortaya çıkar. Sistemi çekip çevirir.

Katrine Marçal, var olmak için bağımlı olduğu kadını “öteki�� olarak tanımlayan erkek üzerine kurgulanan standart iktisat anlatılarını sorgulayarak, bir de görünmez cins olduğunu hatırlatıyor bize. Tıpkı “ikinci cins�� gibi bir “ikinci iktisat�� da olduğunu gözler önüne sererek, hesaba katılmayan “kadın”�� denkleme dâhil ediyor.

This is the most comprehensive commentary on both Divisions of Heidegger's Being and Time, making it the essential guide for newcomers and specialists alike. Beginning with a non-technical exposition of the question Heidegger poses--"What does it mean to be?"--and keeping that question in view, it gradually increases the closeness of focus on the text. Citing Joan Stambaugh's translation, the author explains the key notions of the original with the help of concrete illustrations and reference to certain of the most relevant works Heidegger composed both before and after the publication of Being and Time.

"Originally published in the early sixties as one of the first English-language commentaries on Heidegger's Being and Time, Magda King's masterful Guide has now been vastly expanded to cover the whole of Being and Time, its renderings of Heidegger's German terms revised to correspond to Joan Stambaugh's new translation of Being and Time, and its discussions of Heidegger's later texts supplemented with references to his recently published earliest texts before Being and Time . In this expanded and revised edition prepared by John Llewelyn, King's Guide is now the best companion volume to use with Stambaugh's new translation of Being and Time. " -- John van Buren, author of The Young Rumor of the Hidden King

"Of all the studies of Being and Time with which I am familiar, Magda King's is the most direct, the simplest, and the clearest. Remarkably, the simplicity and clarity are achieved without loss of detail or accuracy and without dodging difficult interpretive problems. This makes her book an extraordinarily effective guide to a complex work and thus a virtually perfect companion text for use with Being and Time." -- Joseph P. Fell, J. H.

Tracking deep into our evolutionary history, anthropological science has begun to unravel one particular feature that sets us apart from the many, many animals that came before us �� our uniquely long childhoods. Growing Up Human looks at how we have diverged from our ancestral roots to stay 'forever young' �� or at least what seems like forever �� and how the evolution of childhood is a critical part of the human story.

Beginning with a look at the ways animals invest in their offspring, the book moves through the many steps of making a baby, from pair-bonding to hidden ovulation, points where our species has repeatedly stepped off the standard primate path. From the mystery of monogamy to the minefield of modern parenting advice, biological anthropologist Brenna Hassett reveals how differences between humans and our closest cousins lead to our messy mating systems, dangerous pregnancies, and difficult births, and what these tell us about the kind of babies we are trying to build.

Using observations of our closest primate relatives, the tiny relics of childhood that come to us from the archaeological record, and the bones and teeth of our ancestors, science has started to unravel the evolution of our childhood right down the fossil record. In our species investment doesn't stop at birth, and as Growing Up Human reveals, we can compare every aspect of our care and feeding, from the chemical composition of our milk to our fondness for formal education from ancient times onwards, in order to understand just what we evolved our weird and wonderful childhoods for.]]> 384 Brenna Hassett 1472975758 feyza 0 to-read 3.96 2022

]]> 223436601 An explosive memoir charting one woman’s career at the heart of one of the most influential companies on the planet, Careless People gives you a front-row seat to Facebook, the decisions that have shaped world events in recent decades, and the people who made them.

From trips on private jets and encounters with world leaders to shocking accounts of misogyny and double standards behind the scenes, this searing memoir exposes both the personal and the political fallout when unfettered power and a rotten company culture take hold. In a gripping and often absurd narrative where a few people carelessly hold the world in their hands, this eye-opening memoir reveals what really goes on among the global elite.

Sarah Wynn-Williams tells the wrenching but fun story of Facebook, mapping its rise from stumbling encounters with juntas to Mark Zuckerberg’s reaction when he learned of Facebook’s role in Trump’s election. She experiences the challenges and humiliations of working motherhood within a pressure cooker of a workplace, all while Sheryl Sandberg urges her and others to “lean in.��

Careless People is a deeply personal account of why and how things have gone so horribly wrong in the past decade—told in a sharp, candid, and utterly disarming voice. A deep, unflinching look at the role that social media has assumed in our lives, Careless People reveals the truth about the leaders of Facebook: how the more power they grasp, the less responsible they become and the consequences this has for all of us.]]> 400 Sarah Wynn-Williams 1250391237 feyza 0 to-read 4.35 2025

Based on a series of case studies—including the media’s dichotomous treatment of “worthy�� versus “unworthy�� victims, “legitimizing�� and “meaningless�� Third World elections, and devastating critiques of media coverage of the U.S. wars against Indochina—Herman and Chomsky draw on decades of criticism and research to propose a Propaganda Model to explain the media’s behavior and performance. Their new introduction updates the Propaganda Model and the earlier case studies, and it discusses several other applications. These include the manner in which the media covered the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement and subsequent Mexican financial meltdown of 1994-1995, the media’s handling of the protests against the World Trade Organization, World Bank, and International Monetary Fund in 1999 and 2000, and the media’s treatment of the chemical industry and its regulation. What emerges from this work is a powerful assessment of how propagandistic the U.S. mass media are, how they systematically fail to live up to their self-image as providers of the kind of information that people need to make sense of the world, and how we can understand their function in a radically new way.]]> 412 Edward S.

Constructing sophisticated techniques for prediction from basic building blocks, the book first reviews the fundamentals that underpin later topics of the book including probability, sampling, and Bayesian statistics. Part II focuses on applying Local Sensitivity Analysis to apportion uncertainty in the model outputs to sources of uncertainty in its inputs. Part III demonstrates techniques for quantifying the impact of parametric uncertainties on a problem, specifically how input uncertainties affect outputs. The final section covers techniques for applying uncertainty quantification to make predictions underuncertainty, including treatment of epistemic uncertainties. It presents the theory and practice of predicting the behavior of a system based on the aggregation of data from simulation, theory, and experiment.



The text focuses on simulations based on the solution of systems of partial differential equations and includes in-depth coverage of Monte Carlo methods, basic design of computer experiments, as well as regularized statistical techniques. Code references, in python, appear throughout the text and online as executable code, enabling readers to perform the analysis under discussion. Worked examples from realistic, model problems help readers understand the mechanics of applying the methods. Each chapter ends with several assignable problems.����




Uncertainty Quantification and Predictive Computational Science fills the growing need for a classroom text for senior undergraduate and early-career graduate students in the engineering and physical sciences and supports independent study by researchers and professionals who must include uncertainty quantification and predictive science in the simulations they develop and/or perform.]]> 563 Ryan G.

]]> 18770267 Make It Stick turns fashionable ideas like these on their head. Drawing on recent discoveries in cognitive psychology and other disciplines, the authors offer concrete techniques for becoming more productive learners.

Memory plays a central role in our ability to carry out complex cognitive tasks, such as applying knowledge to problems never before encountered and drawing inferences from facts already known. New insights into how memory is encoded, consolidated, and later retrieved have led to a better understanding of how we learn. Grappling with the impediments that make learning challenging leads both to more complex mastery and better retention of what was learned.

Many common study habits and practice routines turn out to be counterproductive. Underlining and highlighting, rereading, cramming, and single-minded repetition of new skills create the illusion of mastery, but gains fade quickly. More complex and durable learning come from self-testing, introducing certain difficulties in practice, waiting to re-study new material until a little forgetting has set in, and interleaving the practice of one skill or topic with another. Speaking most urgently to students, teachers, trainers, and athletes, Make It Stick will appeal to all those interested in the challenge of lifelong learning and self-improvement.]]> 313 Peter C.

He��wasn’t alone—credible predictions suggest that in two years, a quarter of the U.S. population will be taking this class of drug. Proponents say that this is a biological solution to a biological problem. While 95 percent of diets fail, the average person taking one of the new drugs will lose a quarter of their body weight in six months, and keep it off for as long as they take it. Here is a moment of liberation from an illness that massively increases your chances of diabetes, dementia, and cancer, and causes 10 percent of all deaths.��Still, Hari was wildly conflicted.

We became much more stressed, making us seek out more comfort snacks. From this perspective, the new weight loss drugs arrive at a moment of madness. We built a food system that poisons us, then decided en masse to inject ourselves with a different potential poison that puts us off all food.A personal journey through weight loss combined with scientific evidence from experts, Magic Pill explores, as only Hari can, questions How did we get to this point? What does it reveal about our society that we couldn’t solve this problem socially, and instead turned to potentially risky pharmaceutical solutions? And will this free us from social pressure to conform to an ideal body type—or make that pressure even more dangerously intense?]]> 320 Johann Hari 0593728637 feyza 0 to-read 4.27 2024

Until recently, Bissell was somewhat reluctant to admit to his passion for games. In this, he is not alone. Millions of adults spend hours every week playing video games, and the industry itself now reliably outearns Hollywood. But the wider culture seems to regard video games as, at best, well designed if mindless entertainment.
��
Extra Lives is an impassioned defense of this assailed and misunderstood art form. Bissell argues that we are in a golden age of gaming—but he also believes games could be even better. He offers a fascinating and often hilarious critique of the ways video games dazzle and, just as often, frustrate. Along the way, we get firsthand portraits of some of the best minds (Jonathan Blow, Clint Hocking, Cliff Bleszinski, Peter Molyneux) at work in video game design today, as well as a shattering and deeply moving final chapter that describes, in searing detail, Bissell’s descent into the world of Grand Theft Auto IV , a game whose themes mirror his own increasingly self-destructive compulsions.
��
Blending memoir, criticism, and first-rate reportage, Extra Lives is like no other book on the subject ever published. Whether you love video games, loathe video games, or are merely curious about why they are becoming the dominant popular art form of our time, Extra Lives is required reading.]]> 204 Tom Bissell 0307378705 feyza 0 to-read 3.49 2010

]]> 60149558 A landmark book that reveals, celebrates, and advocates for the special minds and contributions of visual thinkers

A quarter of a century after her memoir, Thinking in Pictures, forever changed how the world understood autism, Temple Grandin—the “anthropologist on Mars,�� as Oliver Sacks dubbed her—transforms our awareness of the different ways our brains are wired. Do you have a keen sense of direction, a love of puzzles, the ability to assemble furniture without crying? You are likely a visual thinker.

With her genius for demystifying science, Grandin draws on cutting-edge research to take us inside visual thinking. Visual thinkers constitute a far greater proportion of the population than previously believed, she reveals, and a more varied one, from the photo-realistic object visualizers like Grandin herself, with their intuitive knack for design and problem solving, to the abstract, mathematically inclined “visual spatial�� thinkers who excel in pattern recognition and systemic thinking. She also makes us understand how a world increasingly geared to the verbal tends to sideline visual thinkers, screening them out at school and passing over them in the workplace. Rather than continuing to waste their singular gifts, driving a collective loss in productivity and innovation, Grandin proposes new approaches to educating, parenting, employing, and collaborating with visual thinkers. In a highly competitive world, this important book helps us see, we need every mind on board.]]> 340 Temple Grandin 0593418360 feyza 0 to-read 3.61 2022

Nişantaşlı bir ailenin 20. yüzyılın başından itibaren üç kuşak boyunca serüvenlerini anlatan bu kitap ev içlerinin renklerini, zamanın akışını, günlük sıradan konuşmaları akılda yer eden kahramanlar aracılığıyla saptarken, okura geleneksel romandan alınacak hazları bütünüyle veriyor. Abdülhamit döneminin son yıllarında, İstanbul’un ilk Müslüman tüccarlarından küçük dükkân sahibi Cevdet Bey’in tutkusu, hem işlerini büyütmek, zenginleştirmektir hem de "Batılı anlamda" çağdaş, modern bir aile kurmak. Kökü taşraya uzanan geleneksel ailesini bir yana bırakarak bu isteklerini gerçekleştirmeye girişen Cevdet Bey’in ve oğullarının hikâyesi, bir anlamda modernleşme uğraşı içindeki Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin özel hayatının da hikâyesidir. Ev içlerinin, yeni apartman hayatının, Batılılaşan büyük ailelerin, Beyoğlu’na çıkıp alışveriş etmelerin, radyo dinlenen pazar öğleden sonralarının dikkat ve sevgiyle anlatıldığı bu panoramik roman, Orhan Pamuk’a hak ettiği ünü getiren olgun bir ilk kitaptır.

"Pamuk adeta okurun elinden tutup onu kendi dünyasında dolaştırıyor. Yazar romanını anlatmakla kalmıyor; aynı zamanda kâh hızlanan kâh yavaşlayan bir tempoda birbirinin içine geçen sahnelerle, karşılaşmalarla ve konuşmalarla her şeyi en ince ayrıntısına kadar çözümlüyor."

FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE

"Büyük bir başarı... Hiç duraksamadan en beğendiğim yirmi Türk romanı arasına alırım."
