  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.

  “Woman, Watching is an entrancing blend of biography, memoir, history, research, and homage that is unlike anything I’ve ever read. It’s radical, it’s ravishing.” — Kyo Maclear, author of Birds Art Life
  		 
  From award-winning author Merilyn Simonds, a remarkable biography of an extraordinary woman — a Swedish aristocrat who survived the Russian Revolution to become an internationally renowned naturalist, one of the first to track the mid-century decline of songbirds.
  		 
  Referred to as a Canadian Rachel Carson, Louise de Kiriline Lawrence lived and worked in an isolated log cabin near North Bay. After her husband was murdered by Bolsheviks, she refused her Swedish privilege and joined the Canadian Red Cross, visiting her northern Ontario patients by dogsled. When Elzire Dionne gave birth to five babies, Louise became nurse to the Dionne Quintuplets. Repulsed by the media circus, she retreated to her wilderness cabin, where she devoted herself to studying the birds that nested in her forest. Author of six books and scores of magazine stories, de Kiriline Lawrence and her “loghouse nest” became a Mecca for international ornithologists.
  		 
  Lawrence was an old woman when Merilyn Simonds moved into the woods not far away. Their paths crossed, sparking Simonds’s lifelong interest. A dedicated birder, Simonds brings her own songbird experiences from Canadian nesting grounds and Mexican wintering grounds to this deeply researched, engaging portrait of a uniquely fascinating woman.

  Have you ever wondered how a cat can be both alive and dead at the same time? 
  Can you imagine a world where particles can communicate instantaneously across vast distances, defying the limitations of space and time? 
  If questions like these have piqued your curiosity about the bizarrely precise yet utterly baffling quantum universe, then look no further.This comprehensive guide promises to be an utterly captivating exploration of nature's deepest layer of reality. Complex theories are meticulously unpacked and brought to life through vivid examples and crystal-clear explanations, including: 
  • The origins of quantum theory and revolutionary ideas from pioneers like Planck, Einstein, Bohr and Schrödinger 
  • Foundational quantum mysteries like wave-particle duality, the uncertainty principle, and quantum entanglement 
  • Classic thought experiments from the double-slit experiment to the mind-bending Schrödinger's cat paradox 
  • Speculative modern concepts like quantum immortality, quantum levitation, and quantum tunneling 
  • Potential applications of quantum phenomena in computing, cryptography, and even biological processes 
  • Theoretical frontiers spanning string theory, the multiverse, white holes, wormholes and quantum consciousness 
  By thoroughly demystifying these and other mind-boggling quantum phenomena, this journey through the subatomic realm promises to expand your mind while potentially upending your perception of reality itself. 
  Can you handle diving down the rabbit hole of the infinitely bizarre yet precisely predictable quantum universe? There's only one way to find out...Scroll Up and Click on the BUY NOW BUTTON!

  Into the Abyss - The Science of...

  Dark space, a term that captures the vast and mysterious regions of the universe that remain elusive to the human eye, is one of the most fascinating and perplexing subjects in modern astronomy and physics. It refers to the areas of space that are largely empty or seem devoid of matter, yet are crucial to our understanding of the cosmos. Unlike the stars, planets, and galaxies that illuminate the night sky, dark space is often invisible to our telescopes and our senses. This absence of light and matter doesn’t mean that dark space is inactive or devoid of interest. On the contrary, dark space is full of hidden forces and phenomena that scientists are only beginning to understand. It holds the secrets to some of the most fundamental questions about the universe's structure, its origins, and its ultimate fate. 
  The origins of dark space can be traced back to the very beginning of the universe. When the Big Bang occurred, it led to the creation of matter and energy. However, the universe didn’t begin with the stars and galaxies that we are familiar with today. Instead, it started as a hot, dense point that rapidly expanded. As the universe cooled, matter began to condense and form structures, such as galaxies, but there was also a significant amount of empty space that remained. This space, often referred to as "dark" because it contains little to no visible matter, is not empty in the sense that it is void of energy. Instead, it is filled with forces and substances that we cannot see directly. 
  One of the key aspects of dark space is the presence of dark matter, a mysterious substance that makes up a large portion of the universe’s total mass. Although dark matter cannot be directly observed, its presence is inferred from its gravitational effects on visible matter.

  The New Creationism - Building...

  The academic culture in which science is practiced today is one of tacit - if not explicit - atheism. Nowhere is this more evident than in the scientific study of how the universe began and developed - the field of origins. This book has been written in the conviction that the first eleven chapters of the book of Genesis - the Bible's book of beginnings - provide a trustworthy and accurate account of the early history of the universe. In the increasingly secular age in which we live, it is all too easy to forget that the major disciplines of science were founded by men of broadly Christian convictions. Their names are perhaps familiar to us - Boyle, Ray, Hooke, Newton, Faraday - but there is often an embarrassed silence concerning the spiritual beliefs that motivated these scientific giants. Like the astronomer, Kepler, these men perceived that in their scientific insights they were thinking God's thoughts after him'. Today, however, there is a sense of collective amnesia about the religious motivations of these men.
