Da sempre l’uomo cerca di opporsi al disordine del mondo tracciando sentieri, catalogando specie naturali, archiviando documenti. Ma tutto il reale è costituito di atomi: ordinare ha sempre significato distribuire fisicamente gli oggetti. Questo fino all’arrivo del bit: la prima unità di informazione non legata allo spazio. Ora la stessa canzone può essere inclusa in più playlist, una sola foto essere individuata da centinaia di tag e una pagina web è raggiungibile seguendo infiniti percorsi. Questo disordine digitale cambierà non solo le nostre abitudini quotidiane, ma il modo stesso di concepire la realtà: David Weinberger, con un saggio illuminante, ci mostra come questa svolta ci condurrà al prossimo passo sulla strada dell’evoluzione.

For anyone who has ever been inspired by a TED talk, this is an insider s guide to creating talks that are unforgettable."

A young readers edition of the New York Times best-selling TED TALKS , chock- full of tips and techniques to help young people become confident, capable speakers.

Christopher Anderson (*1970, Kelowna, Canada), a member of Magnum Photos, is one of the most influential contemporary photographers. He first gained recognition in 1999 when he boarded a small boat with 44 Haitian immigrants trying to sail to America. The boat sank in the Caribbean. For his images, he received the Robert Capa Gold Medal. Since then, Anderson’s work has defied categorization as he slips between the worlds of documentary, art, commercial and fashion photography. He was New York Magazine’s first ever “Photographer in Residence” and won the World Press Photo contest in 2007 and 2008. The images in Bleu Blanc Rouge , taken in the United States, France, Italy, Spain, and Germany, include portraits, candid moments, and still lifes. Recurring visual elements as the color red, forms and patterns, or a certain light tie the images together to a playful and poetic series. Presented in a magazine-like style, the particular intimacy of Anderson’s images enchants the viewer in an instant. Exhibition: 3.11.–8.12.2018, Ravestijn Gallery, Amsterdam

Magnum-Fotograf Christopher Anderson stellt in diesem Buch eine sehr persönliche Arbeit vor. Anderson hatte für seine Dokumentationen aus Kon- fliktzonen auf der ganzen Welt internationale Anerkennung geerntet. Doch nach der Geburt seines Sohnes wandte er sich ab von der Kriegsfotografie und hin zu intimeren Betrachtungen:'Diese Bilder sind die organische Reaktion auf eine Erfahrung, die gleich- zeitig die einzigartigste und die universellste der Welt ist: die Geburt eines Kindes. (.) Während ich das intensive Glück dieses neuen Lebens erfuhr, erhielt mein Vater eine Lungenkrebsdiagnose. Es lag also nur nahe, dass ich mich mit Themen wie Leben und Tod beschäftigte. Durch meinen Sohn hatte meine eigene Rolle als Sohn neue Bedeutung gewonnen und meine Sinne waren hyperempfindsam für die Tatsache, dass auch mein Leben ver- streicht. Dann ›geschahen‹ diese Fotos. Sie sind Aufzeichnungen über die Liebe und über die zyklische Natur des Lebens.'Anderson (*1970 in Kanada) wurde unter anderem mit der Robert Capa Goldmedaille, zwei World Press Photo Awards und dem Titel 'Magazine Photographer of the Year' ausgezeichnet. Er hat zwei vielbeachtete Mono- grafien veröffentlicht, Nonfiction (2003) und Capitolio (2009).

Just as Google, Facebook and others have created highly successful companies in the virtual world, so these new inventors and manufacturers are assuming positions of ever greater importance in the real world.

The author considers a brave new world where the old economic certainties are bring undermined by a growing flood of free goods. He explains why this has become possible--why new technologies, such as the internet, have caused production and distribution costs in many sectors to plummet to an extent unthinkable even a decade ago.

"What happens when there is almost unlimited choice? When everything becomes available to everyone? And when the combined value of the millions of items that only sell in small quantities equals or even exceeds the value of a handful of best-sellers? In this ground-breaking book, Chris Anderson shows that the future of business does not lie in hits - the high-volume end of a traditional demand curve - but in what used to be regarded as misses - the endlessly long tail of that same curve. As our world is transformed by the Internet and the near infinite choice it offers consumers, so traditional business models are being overturned and new truths revealed about what consumers want and how they want to get it. Chris Anderson first explored the Long Tail in an article in "Wired" magazine that has become one of the most influential business essays of our time. Now, in this eagerly anticipated book, he takes a closer look at the new economics of the Internet age, showing where business is going and exploring the huge opportunities that exist: for new producers, new e-tailers, and new tastemakers. He demonstrates how long tail economics apply to industries ranging from the toy business to advertising to kitchen appliances. He sets down the rules for operating in a long tail economy. And he provides a glimpse of a future that's already here." - publishers description.

Why does stopping a goal beat scoring one? Why do the best defenders rarely touch the ball? Why is ditching your worst player smarter than buying a superstar? In this myth-busting book, Chris Anderson and David Sally show that the normal football terms - goals, possession, points, transfer fees - can actually hinder how we understand the game. Instead, by diving deep into the data, they uncover hidden truths about what is really happening on the pitch. Wonderfully readable and counter-intuitive, The Numbers Game will win you plenty of pub arguments. After reading it you will never think about football in the same way again. 'Rush to read this book immediately. The game [you] love will take on new depth, colour and subtlety.' Ed Smith, The Times 'Pundits, armchair fans and professionals will find that several of their long-cherished truisms are not true at all.' Guardian 'Challenges everything we know about football.' 'Sportshour', BBC World Service 'A highly original contribution to our understanding of what we are seeing at a match . . . unbeatable.' Independent on Sunday

Focusing on the transformative power of generosity, the book explores how this fundamental human virtue can counteract negativity in our connected world.

He argues that modern technology can amplify acts of generosity, creating ripple effects with world-changing potential. Offering a practical guide, the book encourages individuals and organizations to embrace and cultivate infectious generosity for a hopeful future.

Mawia się często, że piłki nożnej nie powinno się rozbijać na statystyki. Futbol to przecież błoto na butach i emblemat na koszulce, życie i śmierć… A jednak czołowe kluby piłkarskie zaakceptowały analitykę; bukmacherzy mają komputery do prognozowania wyników, badacze gry rozebrali ją na części pierwsze. Jesteśmy świadkami rewolucji statystycznej. Wiedzą o tym zespoły walczące o triumf w Lidze Mistrzów i kraje, których reprezentacje pragną wznieść Puchar Świata. Każdy kibic powinien to wiedzieć! Chris Anderson i David Sally doradzają światowej klasy klubom w kwestii analizy statystyk. W swojej obalającej mity książce ujawniają, jakie liczby naprawdę się liczą. Tłumaczą, dlaczego niedopuszczenie do utraty gola warte jest więcej niż jego zdobycie, dlaczego rzuty rożne powinno się wybijać krótko i dlaczego lepiej poprawić jakość swego najsłabszego gracza niż kupić gwiazdę. Od sekretu dalekich wrzutów z autu wykonywanych przez Rory’ego Delapa po prawdziwe znaczenie dominacji nad piłką Messiego wiodą nas ku odkryciu, dlaczego futbol jest grą słabych ogniw, trenerzy mają wpływ jedynie na 15% gry, a oddawanie zbyt wielu strzałów może zabić. To niezbędna dziś wiedza, która pomoże zrozumieć istotę i niuanse współczesnego futbolu.
