Ten Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World - Fareed Zakaria - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Ten Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World - Fareed Zakaria - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

From the international bestselling author of The Post-American World ''An intelligent, learned and judicious guide for a world already in the making'' The New York Times Since the end of the Cold War, the world has been shaken to its core three times. 11 September 2001, the financial collapse of 2008 and - most of all - Covid-19. Each was an asymmetric threat, set in motion by something seemingly small, and different from anything the world had experienced before. Lenin is supposed to have said, ''There are decades when nothing happens and weeks when decades happen.'' This is one of those times when history has sped up.In this urgent and timely book, Fareed Zakaria, one of the ''top ten global thinkers of the last decade'' ( Foreign Policy ), foresees the nature of a post-pandemic world: the political, social, technological and economic consequences that may take years to unfold. In ten surprising, hopeful ''lessons'', he writes about the acceleration of natural and biological risks, the obsolescence of the old political categories of right and left, the rise of ''digital life'', the future of globalization and an emerging world order split between the United States and China. He invites us to think about how we are truly social animals with community embedded in our nature, and, above all, the degree to which nothing is written - the future is truly in our own hands. Ten Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World speaks to past, present and future, and will become an enduring reflection on life in the early twenty-first century.

The Lie of the Land - John Gibbons - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Lie of the Land - John Gibbons - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Ireland has tended to think of itself as a ‘Goldilocks’ country: not too hot, not too cold, and well positioned to ride out the climate emergency. But this is a fantasy: the effects of climate change in Ireland will be profound, and at the moment we’re not doing nearly enough about it. That’s the bad news. The good news is that Ireland has the wherewithal to dramatically cut its emissions while making itself far more resilient. This book shows how it can be done. Above all, we must reimagine the ways in which we use the land. Agriculture accounts for 38 per cent of Ireland's greenhouse emissions – and just 7 per cent of gross national income. As Gibbons shows, Ireland's dramatic shift towards the most polluting food sectors – driven by a small number of agribusiness giants and facilitated by the state – benefits the few while imposing huge costs on the many. It doesn't have to be this way, and Gibbons, who grew up on an arable farm, shows how we can embrace a low-emissions farming model while preserving farmers' livelihoods, making the countryside a better place to live, and delivering something Ireland conspicuously lacks: food security. The Lie of the Land is a bracing critique of the bad decisions that have put Ireland into such a vulnerable position, and a devastating dissection of the wishful thinking and outright dishonesty that have propped up the status quo in Irish agriculture. It also offers an inspiring vision of how – through a revolution in farming, development of renewable energy (including our vast offshore wind resource), and a dramatic acceleration of moves to decarbonize transport and housing – we can prepare for the new realities of the climate crisis.

My Animals and Other Family - Clare Balding - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

My Animals and Other Family by Clare Balding is a funny, brave, tender story of self-discovery ''I had spent most of my childhood thinking I was a dog, and suspect I had aged in dog years.'' Clare Balding grew up in a rather unusual household. Her father a champion trainer, she shared her life with more than 100 thoroughbred racehorses, mares, foals and ponies, as well as an ever-present pack of boxers and lurchers. As a toddler she would happily ride the legendary Mill Reef and take breakfast with the Queen.She and her younger brother came very low down the pecking order. Left to their own devices, they had to learn life''s toughest lessons through the animals, and through their adventures in the stables and the idyllic Hampshire Downs. From the protective Candy to the pot-bellied Valkyrie and the frisky Hattie, each horse and each dog had their own character and their own special part to play.The running family joke was that "women ain''t people". Clare had to prove them wrong, to make her voice heard - but first she had to make sure she had something to say. ''Moving, funny and larger than life'' Michael Morpurgo''Magical, enchanting, riotously eccentric'' Daily Mail ''Funny and unexpectedly wise. Balding has lots of good stories to tell.

Feel happier, healthier, and more fulfilled with this uplifting guide to self-love, one step at a time ''This book really chirped me up'' 5***** Reader Review ''Great little book to keep you happy'' 5***** Reader Review ''Love love love - it is a gem'' 5***** Reader Review ''Life-changing'' 5***** Reader Review ________ Change can be hard and rarely happens overnight. The aim of this book is to empower you to make change happen. The Book of YOU contains 365 micro-actions, one for each day of the year, divided into four areas: · LOVE Smile at a Stranger: "Has someone ever suddenly smiled at you on a busy street? Remember the feeling after the initial surprise? Today when you are out and about, smile at a stranger." · MIND Set a Go-To-Sleep Alarm: "We use alarm clocks to get us up in the morning, but for many the challenge is actually the night before - hitting the sack early enough. Tonight, decide on a bedtime and set an alarm for when it''s time to go to sleep." · FOOD Go Nuts: "Nuts are deliciously diverse in flavour, packed with protein, essential good fats and minerals, and will give you an energy boost. Try just a small handful today as a snack, or added to a meal." · MOVE Activate Your Abs: "While you are for example making breakfast or on the bus, pull your belly button in. This activates your deep abdominal muscles that are usually asleep, which is amazing for your lower back to provide support." Life is not about how many steps you walk, how many calories you eat or your place on the leader board. Life is about feelings, moments, shared experiences; enjoying every victory, celebrating balance and showing vulnerability. Completing just one micro-action each day will help you live a happier, more fulfilled life. ________ Contributors to The Book of YOU include chef Jamie Oliver, productivity expert and author of Small Move, Big Change Caroline Arnold, fitness trainer Jamie Sawyer, neuroscientists Dr Tara Swart and Dr Darya Rose, and fitness guru Dani Stevens.
