Unicorns, Hype, And Bubbles Bok
New technologies are an investment minefield. Putting money behind them means taking a risk on unproven ventures, often from inexperienced (and potentially unscrupulous) developers. While some will lead the investor to fantastic gains, many others turn out to be mere bubbles - a flimsy veneer of excitement and hype with little profitable at the core. But ignoring these technologies can be even worse, as this can mean failing to capitalise on the next great step in innovation. From cryptocurrencies, blockchain, the metaverse, Web3, and NFTs, to self-driving vehicles, delivery drones, solid state batteries, eVTOLs, and more, technology bubbles have been inflating and popping for many years. Each time a bubble pops, tens if not hundreds of billions of investment dollars disappear with them. Unicorns, Hype, and Bubbles arms the reader with the tools required to differentiate between bubbles and genuine, sustainable technological revolutionaries. Under the expert tutelage of Jeffrey Funk, you will learn: * The economics of modern businesses and how they lead to bubbles forming. * How to assess new technologies to sift viable investments from hype-driven bubbles. * That you can be a far better judge of new technologies than so-called "industry experts". * How to identify exciting new opportunities in a world of money-losing startups. And much more.

Drawn Testimony Bok
<p><i>The trials of criminals who disgust and fascinate the world in equal measure continue to be depicted primarily not at the push of a button but the point of a pencil or the worn-down end of a pastel stub. It is the odd, bickering club of court artists - summoned at the last minute, jostling for position, scrambling to make permanent an event or expression that has already fled the scene - that is still charged with providing the pictures the world hungers to see, and depicting the faces it demands to know.</i><br/><br/>Jane Rosenberg has been a courtroom artist in New York for over 40 years. In her time on her benches, her pastels have captured some of the most notorious faces spanning multiple criminal eras: the Mafia crackdown of the 1980s and 1990s, the fallen titans of Wall Street's 'greed is good' decade, the sex abusers brought to account by the #MeToo movement, the police brutality spotlighted by Black Lives Matter, and the relentless infighting of Trumpworld.<br/><br/>But whilst the cases and the many recognisable names might suggest this to be a true crime goldmine, this, it is not. Instead Jane offers the reader something entirely new - rather than focusing on the facts and minutiae of a case as it unfolds, we are instead given a moving and discerning view of a courtroom and its cast, focusing on emotion above procedure; rather than analysis of evidence, we are presented with the barely perceptible shifts in a defendant's body language, the absence or abundance of feeling in their expression. The result is remarkable and sheds a light on the fascinating career which, arguably against the odds, has managed to stand the test of time.</p>

The Art Of Physics Bok
<p>This book is about the hidden, surprising, and sometimes beautiful ways in which ideas from physics are being applied to important questions facing our lives and society today; questions so complex or personal that they are normally considered beyond the realms of science.<br/><br/>Why are some relationships unstable, while others last a lifetime? Why do the rich keep getting richer, and can it ever be any other way? Why do we make seemingly irrational decisions? How can we make sense of the rise of populism in global politics? For these questions and others, the laws of physics offer new perspectives.<br/><br/>Drawing on cutting-edge research and eye-opening insights from quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, chaos and complexity theory, materials science and more, <i>The Art of Physics</i> shows that science offers a rich vocabulary for tackling the chaos, contradictions and unpredictability that often seem to be the hallmarks of daily life. Not only does physics explain many aspects of our experience, it transforms them.</p>

The Outsider Bok
<p><b>The exquisite manga adaptation of one of the world's greatest 20th century fiction classics</b><br/><br/><i>'My mother died today. Or maybe yesterday, I don't know.'</i><br/><br/>A stranger to society, a stranger to his own life, Meursault seems indifferent to everything. In <i>The Outsider</i>, Camus explores the alienation of an individual who refuses to conform to social norms. When his mother dies, he refuses to show his emotions simply to satisfy the expectations of others. And when he commits a random act of violence on a sun-drenched beach near Algiers, his lack of remorse compounds his guilt in the eyes of society and the law. Yet he is as much a victim as a criminal.<br/><br/>A first in Penguin Modern Classics, Camus' classic existentialist novel is told through Ryota Kurumado's powerful artwork. Unlike previous editions of Camus' novel, Meursault and other characters' emotions are drawn out through stunning illustrations and <i>seen</i> for the first time. A rare and challenging feat, Kurumado's manga adaptation makes a novel first published in 1942 feel contemporary.</p>
