Описание:

In a vision of futuristic London, all-out war is about to break loose between the government and a group of rebels callings themselves Pins - and in a world where economic hardship makes every day a dog-eat-dog struggle for survival, everyone is going to lose, especially Mira Helling.


We first meet Mira as she waits at a train station. There she meets Nancy Boy, an enigmatic stranger who will not even tell her his real name, and Sarah, who happens to be a leading Pin. They head to a meeting together, but police lie in wait. Nancy and Mira must go on the run, moving on night after night. Capture could mean death, through lethal injections of illegal drugs by the secret police force tasked with finding them. Their flight - and an attempted rape which Mira barely escapes - only pushes them deeper into the ranks of the Pins, until finally they face another raid. This time Mira must choose whether to save Nancy - the boy she hardly knows - or herself.


Meanwhile, Sarah faces her own dilemma. Captured by the secret police, she refuses to betray her friends and family - until the head of department turns out to be a long-lost friend. Rex Hunters death was faked when an explosion hit their school, but now that they are together again as adults, they cannot deny the forbidden attraction that is growing between them.


Against a backdrop of severe economic downturn, widespread immigration both to and from England, the breakdown of the EU and the UK, and domestic terrorism on the rise, Miras story intertwines with these characters and others as we follow her on the run across London.


Government man Henry Wickham is sure of his own convictions and his righteous path against the Pins. When he witnesses Mira being given a lethal injection his faith begins to waver - but is it too late? He certainly cannot save Diego: a young Spanish immigrant who stumbles into two lost and abandoned children outside a tube station and takes them in. Rosa and Maxim are looking for their last living relative - but when Diego realises this relative may not exist, he begins to wonder if he will be able to support all three of them.


That dilemma ends when he is shot by police during a Pin raid - and the children have to face the reality of a bitter winter spent alone. Mira dies in Nancys arms after choosing to save him instead of herself, as Sarah reveals to Rex that she has fallen pregnant. What should be happiness is corrupted by fear as they realise their precarious position.


While each of the characters struggles to survive in a city that is falling apart from the inside, the question hanging over all of them is one of survival. Not of whether they will live, but rather of how they will manage to go on if they do.

Описание: THE MUCH ANTICIPATED THIRD INSTALLMENT IN THE WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLING SERIES 'THE GREAT MENTAL MODELS'.

Solve problems. Think with clarity. Achieve your goals.

The secret to better decision-making is learning things that won't change. Mastering a small number of versatile concepts with broad applicability enables you to rapidly grasp new areas, identify patterns, and understand how the world works. Don't waste your time on knowledge with an expiry date - focus on the fundamentals.

The Farnam Street latticework of mental models gives you the durable cognitive tools you need to avoid problems and make better decisions.

A mental model is a representation of how something works. Constructing mental models helps you to navigate the world efficiently and intelligently. Time and time again, great thinkers such as Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett have found mental models indispensable in both solving problems and preventing them in the first place. Cultivating stronger mental models is one of the most powerful things you can do to become a better thinker.



The Great Mental Models: Volume 3 covers essential models from mathematics and systems.

In part one, you'll learn mental models from systems, helping you see unexpected connections and avoid costly mistakes. You'll discover how these concepts govern the behaviors and interactions in your life. Part one covers topics such as how to:

    Identify the right feedback loops to adjust for behavior change (your own and others')

    Leverage bottlenecks to supercharge your innovative capabilities

    Scale up businesses and other endeavors without damaging their longevity

    Reduce risk and preventing disaster by knowing when to incorporate a margin of safety

    Construct reliable algorithms in your mind for predictable success to get the results you want every time



In part two, you'll learn mental models from mathematics that reveal logical patterns in the world. This isn't your high school math class. Part two covers topics such as how to:


    Reap exponential gains by investing in knowledge, relationships, and experiences that compound

    Utilize the surprising power of sample sizes to reshape your perspective and open your mind

    Embrace randomness to become less predictable and more creative

    Identify the fundamental components of systems that lead to failure if neglected - so you can focus your energy where it matters most



Mastering The Great Mental Models helps you thrive in an uncertain world. The right cognitive tools prepare you for any type of challenge. From parenting to healthy eating, relationships to personal productivity, and from learning to product design, this book will give you new lenses for understanding life.

A wonderful resource you'll keep returning to year after year. As you incorporate the models in this book into your mental toolbox, you'll see the world with fresh eyes.

Praise for The Great Mental Models series:

"I'm really glad this exists in the world and I can see that I will be recommending it often."

-- Matt Mullenweg, co-founder of WordPress, founder and CEO of Automattic

"If you've read Charlie Munger's Almanack this is the book you deeply crave in its wake. ... Learn the big ideas from the big disciplines and you'll be able to twist and turn problems in interesting ways at unprecedented speeds. ... You owe yourself this book."

-- Simon Eskildsen

"This is what non-fiction books should aspire to be like. Informative, concise, universal, practical, visual, sharing stories and examples for context. Definitely, a must-read if you're into universal multi-disciplinary thinking."

-- Carl Rannaberg

"I can truly say it is one of the best books I've ever

Описание:

This series of short incisive books introduces major figures of the ancient world to the modern general reader, including the essentials of each subject's life, works, and significance for later western civilisation. Tacitus is arguably the most significant writer of the Roman imperial period. His biting creativity is best known to us through his historical narratives. The Histories ruthlessly depicts the disastrous civil wars which exploded in AD 68-9, while the Annals chillingly documents the murky principates of the Julio-Claudian emperors from Tiberius to Nero. Tacitus is driven throughout by a desire to reveal escalating corruption and selfish ambitions and to demonstrate how and why such a debased world evolved after the death of Augustus. This book sets Tacitus clearly in context, surveying all his works and clarifying the traditions of ancient writing that informed and shaped his narratives. It also traces how his works have been used and abused in subsequent eras.
