Pathfinders - Jim Al Khalili - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In Pathfinders: The Golden Age of Arabic Science , Jim al-Khalili celebrates the forgotten pioneers who helped shape our understanding of the world. For over 700 years the international language of science was Arabic. Surveying the golden age of Arabic science, Jim Al-Khalili reintroduces such figures as the Iraqi physicist Ibn al-Haytham, who practised the modern scientific method over half a century before Bacon; al-Khwarizmi, the greatest mathematician of the medieval world; and Abu Rayhan al-Biruni, a Persian polymath to rival Leonardo da Vinci. ''Jim Al-Khalili has a passion for bringing to a wider audience not just the facts of science but its history ... Just as the legacy of Copernicus and Darwin belongs to all of us, so does that of Ibn Sina and Ibn al-Haytham'' Independent ''He has brought a great story out of the shadows'' Literary Review ''His command of Arabic and mathematical physics invests his story with sympathy as well as authority'' Guardian ''A fascinating and user-friendly guide'' Sunday Telegraph ''This captivating book is a timely reminder of the debt owed by the West to the intellectual achievements of Arab, Persian and Muslim scholars'' The Times Jim Al-Khalili OBE is Professor of Physics at the University of Surrey, where he also holds the first Surrey chair in the public engagement in science. He was awarded the Royal Society Michael Faraday Prize for science communication in 2007, elected Honorary Fellow of the British Association for the Advancement of Science and has also received the Institute of Physic''s Public Awareness of Physics Award. Born in Baghdad, Jim was educated in Iraq until the age of 16 and it was there, being taught by Arabic teachers in Arabic that he first heard and learnt about the great Arab scientists and philosophers.

Read This Before Our Next Meeting - Al Pittampalli - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Read This Before Our Next Meeting is Al Pittampalli''s accessible guide on making meetings more effective, efficient, and worthy of attending The average office worker spends eleven hours in meetings every week. Yet all that time sitting around a conference table hasn''t made us more productive. If anything, meetings have made work worse.Traditional meetings reduce efficiency, kill urgency, and breed compromise and complacency. But there is a solution, a way to have fewer, shorter, more purposeful meetings: Al Pittampalli''s Modern Meeting Standard. By following its eight simple but radical principles you may never have to attend a useless meeting again. ''I dutifully avoid meetings whenever possible, which is pretty much always. If I were to go to meetings, though, I''d want Al to run them.''Chris Guillebeau, author of The $100 Startup and The Art of Non-Conformity

Merits of the Plague - Ibn Hajar Al 'asqalani - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Merits of the Plague - Ibn Hajar Al 'asqalani - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Six hundred years ago, Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani - an esteemed Islamic scholar and poet - survived the bubonic plague, which took the lives of three of his children, as well as millions of others throughout the medieval world. Holding up an eerie mirror to our own time, al-Asqalani reflects on the origins of plagues, from those of the Prophet Muhammad''s era to the Black Death of his own.Weaving together accounts of evil jinn, religious stories, medical manuals, poetry, and the author''s personal experiences, Merits of the Plague is a profound reminder that with tragedy comes one of the noblest expressions of our humanity: the practice of compassion, patience and care for those around us.

Lessons from a Warzone - Louai Al Roumani - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

One day, everything is going well; the next, disaster strikes. What do you do when every pillar is collapsing, every rule is being broken and chaos seems to be all around you? ''Pessimism be damned. This man steered his bank through four years of a hellish civil war - and the lessons he learnt will benefit us all. '' Sathnam Sanghera, author of EmpireLand ________________­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­ An inspiring story of resilient leadership in the toughest of times. Louai Al Roumani was head of finance and planning at one of the largest banks in Syria when the war broke out in 2011. In Lessons from a Warzone, Al Roumani shares his very personal account of coping with the day-to-day realities of leading an organization in dangerous and hostile conditions. His story shows how inspiration can come from the unlikeliest of places, and how a business can not only survive in chaos, but can learn to thrive - the bank became the undisputed sector leader as people''s trust in its capability to protect their life-long savings strengthened. In this book, Al Roumani distils the knowledge and skills he and his colleagues developed while steering the bank through four impossible years into ten lessons applicable to any leader facing a crisis today. His valuable and often counterintuitive advice will help anyone understand how to be resilient even in the most challenging of times. ________________ ''A compelling guide for leaders grappling with the pandemic... the lessons in resilient leadership in turbulent times that Roumani offers are universal.'' Pilita Clark, Financial Times ''Contains powerful lessons about resilience that show how companies can come out of crises better and stronger if they focus on long-term opportunities, no matter how tough it gets in the short term'' Ana Botín, executive chair, Banco Santander

Stung with Love: Poems and Fragments of Sappho - Sappho - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Stung with Love: Poems and Fragments of Sappho - Sappho - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

More or less 150 years after Homer''s Iliad , Sappho lived on the island of Lesbos, west off the coast of what is present Turkey. Little remains today of her writings, which are said to have filled nine papyrus rolls in the great library at Alexandria some 500 years after her death. The surviving texts consist of a lamentably small and fragmented body of lyric poetry - among them poems of invocation, desire, spite, celebration, resignation and remembrance - that nevertheless enables us to hear the living voice of the poet Plato called the tenth Muse. This is a new translation of her surviving poetry.

For Lust of Knowing - Robert Irwin - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Robert Irwin’s history of Orientalism leads from Ancient Greece to the present. He shows that, whether making philological comparisons between Arabic and Hebrew, cataloguing the coins of Fatimid Egypt or establishing the basic chronology of Harun al-Rashid’s military campaigns against Byzantium, scholars have been unified not by politics or ideology but by their shared obsession. For Lust of Knowing is an extraordinary, passionate book, both a sustained argument and a brilliant work of original scholarship.
