Is your company run by a team with no name? At the top of every organization chart lies a myth - that a Senior Management Team makes a company's critical decisions. The reality is that critical decisions are typically made by the boss and a small group of confidants - a "team with no name" - outside of formal processes. Meanwhile, other members of the management team wonder why they weren't in the room or even consulted ahead of time.

They watched Danilo Silva for days before they finally grabbed him. He was living alone, a quiet life on a shady street in Brazil; a simple life in a modest home, certainly not one of luxury. Certainly no evidence of the fortune they thought he had stolen. He was much thinner and his face had been altered. He spoke a different language, and spoke it very well. But Danilo had a past with many chapters. Four years earlier he had been Patrick Lanigan, a young partner in a prominent Biloxi law firm.

Sitting in a pub one Christmas Eve, two friends hash out their doubts and questions about God, the Trinity, and existence itself. They agree that the Christian Trinity does not make much sense, yet when they look at the origins of the universe, they realize it also does not make sense, and for exactly the same reasons. And if the enigma of the Trinity is the same one underlying the universe, then perhaps the Trinity is as rational to believe in as our own existence.

Die große Albert-Einstein-Biografie für unsere Zeit, von Bestsellerautor Walter Isaacson ("Steve Jobs", "Elon Musk") Walter Isaacson, der schon in seinem Bestseller über Steve Jobs dem Zusammenhang von Kreativität und Freiheit nachspürte, arbeitet in seiner umfassenden Biografie Albert Einsteins überzeugend heraus, wie dessen geniale wissenschaftliche Einbildungskraft der rebellischen Natur seiner Persönlichkeit entsprang. Er erkundet, wie ein "Angestellter dritter Klasse" beim Schweizer Patentamt, ein mit den Widrigkeiten des Lebens kämpfender Vater und Ehemann, dem eine Promotion versagt blieb, überlieferte Wahrheiten hinterfragte.

Love and need make unexpected bedfellows, and both are blind. As the grip of a long hard winter tightens on Lydmouth, a dead woman calls the dying in a seance behind net curtains.

Britain is basking in the warm glow of postwar tranquillity, but in the quiet town of Lydmouth, darker forces are at play. The rats are fed on bread and milk, a gentleman's yellow kid glove is mislaid on a train and something disgusting is happening at Mr Prout's toy shop.

Regardless of our race, sex, ethnicity, color, religion or philosophical beliefs, music is a universal tie that binds us as human beings. Every note a nod to history, every tune a step on the trajectory toward a more compassionate understanding of each other. The world of jazz music during the 1950s and 60s was an industry that reflected the struggles of the Civil Rights Era. And when a White musician enters the big stages and “sounds Black,” attempting to unify the culture of society, it can teeter on cultural treason.

Frühling 1848. Scheinbar aus dem Nichts versammelten sich in unzähligen Städten von Palermo bis Paris riesige Menschenmengen, oft in friedlicher, manchmal aber auch in gewalttätiger Absicht. Die politische Ordnung, die seit Napoleons Niederlage in Europa Bestand hatte, brach in sich zusammen. Überall entstanden neue politische Ideen. Es ging um die Rolle der Frau, das Ende der Sklaverei, das Recht auf Arbeit, nationale Unabhängigkeit und die jüdische Emanzipation. Christopher Clark erweckt mit neuen Erkenntnissen die Visionen dieser Epoche und deren Niederschlagung zum Leben.

Jahrhunderts haben einen ungeahnten wissenschaftlichen Schub ausgelöst, der zu einem neuen Weltbild der Physik führte, welches sich uns bis heute nicht vollständig erschließt.
