Sinopsis

Idea Sparks explores the fascinating origins of revolutionary ideas across science and philosophy, revealing the hidden catalysts behind human innovation. It argues that groundbreaking concepts rarely emerge in isolation but often arise from unexpected connections, chance encounters, or reinterpretations of existing knowledge. The book emphasizes that innovation isn't solely the domain of genius; instead, it is a process that can be cultivated through specific practices. For example, the development of calculus or the theory of evolution illustrate how breakthroughs frequently stem from unique combinations of prior knowledge and circumstance. This book demystifies the creative process by examining the cognitive processes, such as lateral and divergent thinking, and the historical contexts where breakthrough ideas emerged. Structured in three parts, the book begins by introducing core concepts of creativity, then explores historical case studies, and culminates by synthesizing findings into actionable strategies for fostering innovation. By delving into primary sources like scientific papers and personal correspondence, Idea Sparks uncovers the often-overlooked, messy details behind major advancements.

The Wall and the Bridge - Fear...

Glenn Hubbard

An informed argument for an economic policy based on bridges of preparation and adaptation rather than walls of protection and exclusion 
 
 
 
Free-market economists often have noted that there are winners and losers in a competitive capitalist world. The question of how to deal with the difficult real-life consequences faced by the losers, however, has largely been ignored. Populist politicians have tried repeatedly to address the issue by creating walls—of both the physical and economic kinds—to insulate communities and keep competition at bay. While recognizing the broad emotional appeal of walls, economist Glenn Hubbard argues that because they delay needed adaptations to the ever-changing world, walls are essentially backward-looking and ultimately destined to fail. Taking Adam Smith's logic to Youngstown, Ohio, as a case study in economic disruption, Hubbard promotes the benefits of an open economy and creating bridges to support people in turbulent times so that they remain engaged and prepared to participate in, and reap the rewards of, a new economic landscape.

Mapping the Great Game -...

Riaz Dean

In the 19th century, the British and Russian empires were engaged in bitter rivalry for the acquisition of Southern Asian. Although India was the ultimate prize, most of the intrigue and action took place along its northern frontier in Afghanistan, Turkestan, and Tibet. Mapping the region and gaining knowledge of the enemy were crucial to the interests of both sides. 
 
 
 
The Great Trigonometrical Survey of India began in the eighteenth century with the aim of creating a detailed map of the subcontinent. Under the leadership of George Everest—whose name was later bestowed to the world's tallest mountain—it mapped the Great Arc running from the country's southern tip to the Himalayas. Much of the work was done by Indian explorers known as Pundits. They were the first to reveal the mysteries of the forbidden city of Lhasa, and discover the true course of Tibet's mighty Tsangpo River. 
 
 
 
These explorers performed essential information gathering for the British Empire and filled in large portions of the map of Asia. Their adventurous exploits are vividly recounted in Mapping the Great Game.
