Smart Rivals - How Innovative...

Bonnie Yining Cao, Feng Zhu

A new, researched-based look at how traditional or smaller companies can better compete with Big Tech on their own terms 
 
 
 
Companies are fighting the wrong battle. The consensus has been to learn the best practices from Big Tech and imitate them. But new paths for growth aren't created by imitation; they're forged by radical differentiation. 
 
 
 
In Smart Rivals, Harvard Business School professor Feng Zhu and former Bloomberg journalist Bonnie Cao show business leaders how to create new competitive advantages by offering product features and benefits that tech giants and other competitors cannot match. 
 
 
 
Zhu and Cao bring listeners across the globe, revealing how big conglomerates—Coca-Cola, Ping An, and AB InBev—and scrappy upstarts—an Italian toll payment platform, a Chinese footwear retailer, a Nigerian media company, and scores of others—have managed to thrive by tapping into their unique capabilities. 
 
 
 
Based on original research and insights gleaned from leaders in a wide-range of industries, Smart Rivals will help you find new capabilities that mere imitation could never provide and lead to new products, services, strategies, and advantages.

Dinner on Mars: The Technologies...

Lenore Newsman, Evan D.G. Frasor

Taking care of a Martian is quite possibly of the best test throughout the entire existence of farming. Will a Red Planet menu include cheddar and frozen yogurt produced using tanks of matured yeast? Will medication cupboards flood with drugs made from designed grain developed utilizing geothermal energy? Will the protein of decision highlight a chicken bosom filled in a lab? Abnormal, awesome, and some of the time revolting, sorting out "what's for supper on Mars" is not even close to paltry. In the event that we can sort out some way to support ourselves on Mars, we will know how to do it on Earth as well. In Supper on Mars, creators Fraser and Newman show how preparing the table off-planet will supercharge endeavors to deliver food economically here at home. 
For futurists, science fiction nerds, tech nuts, business pioneers, and anyone with any interest in store for food, Supper on Mars places maintainability and flexibility on the menu notwithstanding our environment emergency.

Man Cattle and Veld

Johann Zietsman

THE book for Profitable Ranching. A Real Ranching Revolution. Cattle Breeding. Grazing Management.
Much like nature, this book is both simple and complex. The author has taken great care to create both a simple technical guide as well as a philosophic declaration about complex human and environmental nuances, all in one volume.
Those persons who see and shape the future often say that the future is already here, it just isn't evenly distributed. I am confident that, several years from now many will look back upon this book, as well as the rest of Johann Zietsman's works, as foundational to the restoration of—and relationships between—man, cattle, and veld.
Zietsman puts forth a much-needed critique of man and his actions over the past century as well as personal stories as contra-example to the narratives we that have dominated the ranching world.
Achieving the ranch goal of maximum sustainable profit per hectare depends on breeding and feeding cattle (and all grazing species) as the grazers that they are. Efforts should be directed at raising cattle that are more efficient converters of forage, not on trying to make forage-reliant species into grain-efficient machines. Forces of nature created the animals we have, and their genetic potential will be brought out through non-selective grazing and proper supplementation.
Non-selective, time-controlled grazing, in which 80 to 95 percent of the mass of all grasses and forbs are utilized, thus pruning plants back to their crowns, is the process by which grasslands are improved in both plant vigor and species composition. I cannot overemphasize the importance of this last point—plant species diversity is promoted by time-controlled severe grazing events, whereas selective, take half leave half grazing is much more limited in improving species diversity, even leading to species narrowing in some circumstances.

Goldeneye 007

Alyse Knorr

Bond—James Bond. In the 80s and 90s, the debonair superspy's games failed to live up to the giddy thrills of his films. That all changed when British studio Rare unleashed GoldenEye 007 in 1997. In basements and college dorms across the world, friends bumped shoulders while shooting, knifing, exploding, and slapping each other's digital faces in the Nintendo 64 game that would redefine the modern first-person shooter genre and become the most badass party game of its generation. 
 
 
  
But GoldenEye's success was far from a sure thing. For years of development, GoldenEye's team of rookie developers were shooting in the dark with no sense of what the N64 or its controller would be like, and the game's relentless violence horrified higher-ups at squeaky clean Nintendo. As development lagged far behind the debut of the tie-in film GoldenEye, the game nearly came out an entire Bond movie too late. 
 
 
  
Through extensive interviews with GoldenEye's creators, writer and scholar Alyse Knorr traces the story of how this unlikely licensed game reinvigorated a franchise and a genre. Learn all the stories behind how this iconic title was developed, and why GoldenEye 007 has continued to kick the living daylights out of every other Bond game since.

Wild Cities: Discovering New...

Chris Fitch

'Mind-shifting, heart-lifting' ISABELLA TREE
'Inspiring and essential' ALASTAIR HUMPHREYS
'As entertaining as it is enlightening' INDEPENDENT, ★★★★★
Nature isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. But today the majority of the world’s population lives in some form of urban environment. And by 2050, two-thirds of humanity will live in towns and cities.
Studies have shown that a daily walk in the woods can improve our health and happiness, that those who can observe a natural scene through a hospital window will recover faster. The sound of birds, the smell of tree oils, the presence of free-flowing water – these are all vital to our wellbeing. So as the human footprint of brick, concrete and metal expands, how do we protect our connection to the natural world?
In Wild Cities, Chris Fitch leads us around the world in search of answers, visiting pioneering cities and meeting the people working at the forefront of this issue. From the tiny urban forests in Tokyo and the star-rich skies of Flagstaff, to the meandering river of Munich and lions prowling through gardens in Nairobi, this is a globe-spanning look at how to bring nature into the places we live – and how to create the wild cities of the future.
In Wild Cities, Chris Fitch takes us on a journey through the latest advancements in architecture and planning, focusing on the integration of natural habitats into our urban landscapes. This non-fiction book is a must-read for those with an interest in ecotourism and community gardening, offering a unique perspective on how we can use land to create ecosystems within our cities.
For fans of Travis Elborough (The Writer's Journey), Alastair Bonnett (Off the Map), Edward Brooke-Hitching (The Devil's Atlas), Ian Mortimer (Medieval Horizons), and Merlin Sheldrake (Entangled Life).
