Zucked: Waking Up to the Facebook Catastrophe

by Roger McNamee

The story of how a noted tech venture capitalist, an early mentor to Mark Zuckerberg and investor in his company, woke up to the serious damage Facebook was doing to our society and set out to try to stop it. <P><P>If you had told Roger McNamee even three years ago that he would soon be devoting himself to stopping Facebook from destroying our democracy, he would have howled with laughter. He had mentored many tech leaders in his illustrious career as an investor, but few things had made him prouder, or been better for his fund's bottom line, than his early service to Mark Zuckerberg. Still a large shareholder in Facebook, he had every good reason to stay on the bright side. Until he simply couldn't. <P><P>ZUCKED is McNamee's intimate reckoning with the catastrophic failure of the head of one of the world's most powerful companies to face up to the damage he is doing. It's a story that begins with a series of rude awakenings. First there is the author's dawning realization that the platform is being manipulated by some very bad actors. <P><P>Then there is the even more unsettling realization that Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg are unable or unwilling to share his concerns, polite as they may be to his face. And then comes the election of Donald Trump, and the emergence of one horrific piece of news after another about the malign ends to which the Facebook platform has been put. To McNamee's shock, even still Facebook's leaders duck and dissemble, viewing the matter as a public relations problem. Now thoroughly alienated, McNamee digs into the issue, and fortuitously meets up with some fellow travelers who share his concern, and help him sharpen its focus. <P><P>Soon he and a dream team of Silicon Valley technologists are charging into the fray, to raise consciousness about the existential threat of Facebook, and the persuasion architecture of the attention economy more broadly -- to our public health and to our political order. Zucked is both an enthralling personal narrative and a masterful explication of the forces that have conspired to place us all on the horns of this dilemma. <P><P>This is the story of a company and its leadership, but it's also a larger tale of a business sector unmoored from normal constraints, just at a moment of political and cultural crisis, the worst possible time to be given new tools for summoning the darker angels of our nature and whipping them into a frenzy. <P><P>Like Jimmy Stewart in Rear Window, Roger McNamee happened to be in the right place to witness a crime, and it took him some time to make sense of what he was seeing and what we ought to do about it. The result of that effort is a wise, hard-hitting, and urgently necessary account that crystallizes the issue definitively for the rest of us. <P><b>A New York Times Bestseller</b>

Zuber: Two Centuries of Panoramic Wallpaper

by Brian D. Coleman

Since its founding in 1797, Zuber & Cie wallpapers’ fame has spread far and wide, from King Louis Philippe awarding Jean Zuber the Legion of Honor in 1834 to Jackie Kennedy installing Zuber’s “Vues de l'Amérique du Nord” in the White House. According to France Today, the company still uses the same antique woodblocks, the same paint formulas, and the same time-honored processes to create its stunning wallpapers as it did in Jean Zuber’s time. Gorgeous displays of friezes, borders, ceiling roses and architectural trompe l’oeil, have been photographed for Zuber in homes in the United States, France, and the United Kingdom.

Zuat's Philosophy

by Mike Cavendish

Zuat's Philosophy is a novel for general readers, especially young adults who are developing their world views. It endorses laissez-faire capitalism. The story may offend: * Academic philosophers who muddy the waters of philosophy * Lawyers who put law above ethics * Executives of big companies who use ruthless tactics against small competitors * Environmentalists who resent even mild criticism of their precious causes * Young ex-schoolies who self-immerse in alcohol * Religious believers who don't like: - Arguments put forward to challenge their faith - Exposure of yet another wearer of the cloth as a scumbag. A caution to Peruvians: You might not like the revival of memories of Peru of 1980s and 1990s, and the evil Shining Path. Every issue is potentially political. If hens went on strike, politicians (and novelists?) of left and right might debate fiercely the price of eggs. For the rest of you, please enjoy the development of an unlikely romance. It comes with each partner clarifying his/her philosophy and taking much mental and physical risk to achieve that. By the way, Zuat is short for Anzuátegui.

Zu Gast in Deiner Wirklichkeit

by Peter Michael Bak

Mit Scharfsinn, Humor und auf der Basis neuer wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse wird in diesem Sachbuch das alte Thema Kommunikation ganz neu beleuchtet. Das Thema Empathie steht dabei als Voraussetzung erfolgreicher Kommunikation im Mittelpunkt. Was aber ist Empathie ganz konkret? Wie funktioniert sie? Können wir den anderen wirklich verstehen? Wie können wir überhaupt empathisch sein? Gibt es Empathie auch im Internet? Wie hängen Empathie und Moral zusammen? Wie entstehen Konflikte und warum führt Empathie zur Selbsterkenntnis? Psychologieprofessor Peter Michael Bak gibt anhand zahlreicher Beispiele und auf der Grundlage aktueller psychologischer Forschungsergebnisse anregende und teilweise überraschende Antworten auf diese Fragen. Das Buch setzt dabei keinerlei Vor- oder Fachwissen voraus, sondern wendet sich an alle interessierten Leserinnen und Leser, die wissen möchten, warum es überhaupt Missverständnisse gibt und warum das Miteinander reden manchmal so schwierig sein kann. Den Leser erwarten dabei nicht nur interessante Einblicke zur gelingenden Kommunikation, sondern auch spannende Einsichten über sich selbst.

Zu einer Kritischen Gesellschaftstheorie der Kommunikation

by Markus Baum

Markus Baum widmet sich zweier Begr#65533;ndungs- und Theorieformen: der Kommunikationstheorie Habermas' und der #65533;lteren Kritischen Theorie. Sein Ziel ist es, aufzuzeigen, dass der Anspruch der Theorie des kommunikativen Handelns nur zu erf#65533;llen ist, wenn spezifische Intentionen der #65533;lteren Kritischen Theorie in den Rahmen der Theorie Habermas' #65533;berf#65533;hrt werden. Von dieser Diskussion ausgehend werden die Methode der hermeneutischen Interpretation, der Begriff des sozialen Kampfes und der Bereich des #65533;sthetischen behutsam im Paradigma der Intersubjektivit#65533;t verortet, sodass sie nicht in Widerspruch zu dessen axiomatischen Annahmen geraten. Die R#65533;ckgewinnung der Intentionen der #65533;lteren Kritischen Theorie bahnt den Weg zu einer Kritischen Gesellschaftstheorie der Kommunikation.

Zoya's Story

by John Follain Rita Cristofari

Kabul was always more beautiful in the snow. Even the piles of rotting rubbish in my street, the only source of food for the scrawny chickens and goats that our neighbors kept outside their mud houses, looked beautiful to me after the snow had covered them in white during the long night. Though she is only twenty-three, Zoya has witnessed and endured more tragedy and terror than most people experience in a lifetime. Born in a land ravaged by war, she was robbed of her parents when they were murdered by Muslim fundamentalists. Devastated, she fled Kabul with her grandmother and started a new life in exile in Pakistan. She joined the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (RAWA), an organization that challenged the crushing edicts of the Taliban government, and she took destiny into her own hands, joining a dangerous, clandestine war to save her nation. Direct and unsentimental, Zoya vividly brings to life the realities of growing up in a Muslim culture, the terror of living in a perpetual war zone, the pain of losing those she has loved, the horrors of a woman's life under the Taliban, and the discovered healing and transformation that lead her on a path of resistance.

Zoya's Gift: Building a Bridge to a Global Family | A Memoir

by Gail McCormick

Still recovering from the heartbreak of infertility, memoirist Gail McCormick and her husband volunteer to host two Children of Chernobyl for a summer reprieve from radiation exposure. Fate pairs the Seattle couple with eight-year-old Ukrainian twin sisters from Belarus—and rekindles Gail&’s childhood dream to build a bridge of peace between the US and the former Soviet Union.Over four summers of mayhem and magic with the twins, a deep relationship takes root. When the girls age out of the program that brought them to Seattle, Gail confronts her Cold War fears and travels with her husband to reunite with them in Ukraine and Belarus. On this soul-making trip to a land of unspeakable loss, she celebrates life in the homes of an accordion-playing Chernobyl hero and a barefooted babushka who distills her own vodka, and—behind the remnants of the Iron Curtain—finds her place as an honorary mother and babushka in a four-generation family of former Soviets. Poignant and culturally rich, her narrative transports readers to storied cities, villages, and dachas from Kyiv to Minsk.Written with reverence, insight, humor, and hope, Zoya&’s Gift illuminates the complexities, joys, and importance of reaching across political, class, and cultural divides.

The Zoya Factor

by Anuja Chauhan

When the younger players in India's cricket team find out that advertising executive Zoya Singh Solanki was born at the very moment India won the World Cup back in 1983, they are intrigued. When having breakfast with her is followed by victories on the field, they are impressed. And when not eating with her results in defeat, they decide she's a lucky charm. The nation goes a step further. Amazed at the ragtag team's sudden spurt of victories, it declares her a Goddess. So when the eccentric IBCC president and his mesmeric, always-exquisitely-attired Swamiji invite Zoya to accompany the team to the tenth ICC World Cup, she has no choice but to agree. Pursued by international cricket boards on the one hand, wooed by Cola majors on the other, Zoya struggles to stay grounded in the thick of the world cup action. And it doesn't help that she keeps clashing with the erratically brilliant new skipper who tells her flatly that he doesn't believe in luck..

Zouping Revisited: Adaptive Governance in a Chinese County

by Jean C. Oi Steven Goldstein

China has undergone dramatic change in its economic institutions in recent years, but surprisingly little change politically. Somehow, the political institutions seem capable of governing a vastly more complex market economy and a rapidly changing labor force. One possible explanation, examined in Zouping Revisited, is that within the old organizational molds there have been subtle but profound changes to the ways these governing bodies actually work. The authors take as a case study the local government of Zouping County and find that it has been able to evolve significantly through ad hoc bureaucratic adaptations and accommodations that drastically change the operation of government institutions. Zouping has long served as a window into local-level Chinese politics, economy, and culture. In this volume, top scholars analyze the most important changes in the county over the last two decades. The picture that emerges is one of institutional agility and creativity as a new form of resilience within an authoritarian regime.

by Mark Dunn Sergio Aragonés

From Geronimo! to gesundheit to haminahamina to holy mackerel, and from abracadabra to zoinks—a look at interjections like you’ve never seen them before.Often thought of as unnecessary verbal fringe or simply linguistic decoration, interjections (ahem, howdy, mamma mia, pshaw, tally-ho, whoop-de-do) may well be the most overlooked part of speech in the English language.

A light-hearted look at more than 500 interjections, ZOUNDS! explores the origins of these essential words and highlights the contributions of these previously unheralded parts of speech.Perfect for both word lovers and the casual reader, ZOUNDS! brings together the linguistic talents of Mark Dunn, author of the award-winning novel Ella Minnow Pea, and the graphic hilarity of Sergio Aragonés, the legendary cartoonist and contributor to Mad Magazine, for a delightful romp through grammar, culture, and the English language.Famous interjections include:“Eureka!” —Archimedes“Badabing-badaboom!” —Tony Soprano“Stuff and nonsense!” —Alice, Alice in Wonderland“Bah! Humbug!” —Scrooge“Fiddle-dee-dee !” —Scarlett O'Hara“Leapin' lizards!” —Little Orphan Annie“Nanoo, nano” —Mork, from “Mork & Mindy”“Dyn-O-Mite!” —Jimmie Walker, “Good Times”“Bully!” —President Theodore Roosevelt
