Summary

In today's tumultuous and fast-changing times, digitalisation and technology are game changers in a wide range of sectors and have a tremendous impact on infrastructure. Roads, railways, electricity grids, aviation, and maritime transport are deeply affected by the digital
and technological transition, with gains in terms of competitiveness, cost-reduction, and safety. Digitalisation is also a key tool for fostering global commitment towards sustainability, but the race for digital infrastructure is also a geopolitical one. As the world's largest economies are starting to adopt competitive strategies, a level playing field appears far from being agreed upon.
Why are digitalisation and technology the core domains of global geopolitical competition? How are they changing the way infrastructure is built, operated, and maintained? To what extent will road, rail, air, and maritime transport change by virtue of digitalisation, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things? How to enhance cyber protection for critical infrastructure? What are the EU's, US' and China's
digital strategies?

    An inviting and accessible new translation of Aristotle's complete Poetics—the first and best introduction to the art of writing and understanding stories 
     
     
     
    Aristotle's Poetics is the most important book ever written for writers and readers of stories—whether novels, short fiction, plays, screenplays, or nonfiction. Aristotle was the first to identify the keys to plot, character, audience perception, tragic pleasure, and dozens of other critical points of good storytelling. Despite being written more than 2,000 years ago, the Poetics remains essential reading for anyone who wants to learn how to write a captivating story—or understand how such stories work and achieve their psychological effects. Yet for all its influence, the Poetics is too little read because it comes down to us in a form that is often difficult to follow, and even the best translations are geared more to specialists than to general readers who simply want to grasp Aristotle's profound and practical insights. In How to Tell a Story, Philip Freeman presents the most accessible translation of the Poetics yet produced, making this indispensable book more engaging and useful than ever before.

    Win and Beat Manipulators at Their Own GamesA game can be defined as “an activity that has rules for winning and losing.” Contrarily, another definition of it is “to use those rules of an activity to get what you want, in a way that is dishonest.” Whether you want to admit it, you are already playing a game called “life,” and in it there are those who live by the latter definition - willing to cheat the game via manipulation.What is manipulation? It’s the controlling of an individual through misleading means to get something that these manipulators want, whether money, power, relationship, or sex.Many people are victims of others’ manipulative behaviors without realizing it, including you. Think about those people from your life ranging from families and friends to acquaintances and strangers you’ve met on the street. Were there times when you had a gut-wrenching feeling that something was wrong, and it turned out to be they were manipulating you? How did it make you feel? Confused? Angry? Miserable?Nobody likes being taken advantage of, but unfortunately it’s a part of human nature to want to assert control over others as survival of the fittest. Being ignorant to that will only continue to make you a victim.But now you can do something about it by beating manipulators at their own mind games with “Game of Mind Manipulation.” By taking a page out of their playbook, you’ll be guided on the following:* Patterns for predicting manipulator’s next move* Subtle manipulations going on behind the scene* Tactics to stop manipulator dead right in the track* In-depth look into the most pervasive mind games* Expert solutions for specific manipulative behaviors* And much more!Who said the game of life was going to be easy? While it may not always be ideal, it certainly can be won once you know all the right strategies to maneuver. Either you play it to win it, or get played by it to lose it. The choice is yours. Make your first move now, and checkmate!

    The World Has Changed. Education Is Opening Up. 
    No more being stuck in a box. 
    No more choosing between rigid options.

    For the first time in history, every approach to learning—from hands-on apprenticeships to innovative classrooms, from creative exploration to rigorous academics—is becoming available to every family. 
    Drawing from their work with over 100,000 students, education pioneers Matt Bowman and Isaac Morehouse show how to navigate this new world of possibilities. They reveal practical ways to craft an education that works with your child's natural curiosity and talents rather than against them. This is your roadmap for turning the overwhelming array of options into a personalized learning journey that actually works.

    “It’s good to learn from your mistakes. It’s better to learn from other people’s mistakes.” ~Warren Buffet 
    Crisis manager George Pillari takes the reader through a series of real-life case studies to show us that decision making in tense situations is a skill to be learned and perfected. Different from most business books that talk about recipes for success (improve your habits, be more productive, etc.), Stupidities highlights what you need to avoid in order to be successful. 
    In his foreword to the book, Guy Kawasaki sums it up: 
    “80% of success is avoiding stupidity.” 
    We learn from the success and failures of Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Oprah Winfrey, Elizabeth Holmes, Google X, JP Morgan, the New York Yankees, the Titan Sub, Thomas Edison, Taylor Swift, and others. 
    The Seven Deadly Stupidities: 
    Going for the Moonshot 
    Surrendering to FOMO 
    Relying on Family and Friends 
    Being Blinded by the Upside 
    Trusting the Media 
    Using Quick and Dirty Thinking 
    Neglecting to Measure Twice 
    There is the amazing story of Soviet General Petrov, who avoided all seven of the stupidities and prevented a global thermonuclear war. 
    The chapter-by-chapter format lets the reader thumb through and pick the order to read the book. The summary of each stupidity includes lessons learned and advice on how to avoid the stupidity and “be smarter.” 
    We are twice as likely to respond to negative events than positive ones. Pillari uses this behavioral sciences insight to guide the reader through how to learn from the failures of others and become a better decision-maker.
