"What Do You Care What Other People Think? Further Adventures of a Curious Character" is a captivating collection of reminiscences from freewheeling scientific genius Richard P. Feynman. Richard Feynman - Nobel Laureate, teacher and iconic intellect - possessed an unquenchable thirst for an adventure and an unparalleled gift for telling the extraordinary stories of his life. In this collection of short pieces Feynman describes everything from his love of beauty to college pranks to how his father taught him to think. He takes us behind the scenes of the space shuttle Challenger investigation, where he dramatically revealed the cause of the disaster with a simple experiment. And he tells us of how he met his beloved first wife Arlene, and their brief time together before her death. Sometimes intensely moving, sometimes funny, these writings are infused with Feynman's curiosity and passion for life. "Feynman's voice echoes raw and direct through these pages". ("The New York Times"). "Outrageously gifted, iconoclastic, irrepressible...Richard Feynman still has the capacity to suprise". ("Observer"). "One of the greatest minds of the twentieth century ...he was also stubborn, irreverent, playful, intensely curious and highly original in practically everything he did".("New York Review of Books"). "If more scientists were like Feynman, the world really would be a better, and better understood, place". ("Independent on Sunday"). Richard P. Feynman (1918-1988) was one of this century's most brilliant theoretical physicists and original thinkers. Feynman's other books, also available in Penguin, include "QED", "Six Easy Pieces", "Six Not-so-Easy Pieces", "Don't You Have Time to Think", "The Pleasure of Finding Things Out", "What Do You Care What Other People Think?" and "The Meaning of it All".

Una autobiografía novelada en tres partes que ha sido reconocida como uno de los testimonios más estremecedores que se hayan escrito sobre la guerra civil española. Exiliado en Inglaterra desde 1938, Arturo Barea se dedicó plenamente a la literatura y al periodismo y fue «en la paz del country» donde terminó La forja de un rebelde, una trilogía que figura entre las obras maestras de la literatura universal. En la primera parte, La forja (1941) Barea narra su infancia y primera juventud en el Madrid de principios de siglo. Después del gran éxito de este libro, llegó a las librerías inglesas la segunda parte, titulada La ruta (1943), en la que Barea cuenta sus primeros escarceos literarios y, sobre todo, sus experiencias en la guerra de Marruecos. La llama (1946), publicada por la editorial inglesa Faber & Faber, vendió cerca de 6.000 ejemplares en solo seis meses. La razón fue que Barea, en el relato de su vida, había alcanzado, descrito, sufrido y llorado el 18 de julio de 1936 y los años terribles que le siguieron, hasta su exilio en 1938.

The long sword gloss in GNM ms. 3227a is one of the most important texts in the Liechtenauer corpus. It presents a teaching that is unique in the tradition, more focused on ideas and concepts than on individual plays or techniques. In this way, it is the perfect companion to the more action-oriented glosses of other masters like Sigmund ain Ringeck, Pseudo-Peter von Danzig, and Jud Lew. This book seeks to present these teachings in a new light, with an original English translation that is easier to read and understand than existing offerings. In this way, it will hopefully reveal this important text to a wider audience. Included are color scans, revised transcription by Dierk Hagedorn, English translation by Michael Chidester, introductory material, and a few notes along the way.

»Leben heißt letztlich eben nichts anderes als: Verantwortung tragen [...] für die Erfüllung der Aufgaben, die jedem einzelnen das Leben stellt.« (Viktor E. Frankl)Mit 35 Jahren kam der österreichische Psychiater Viktor E. Frankl in ein Konzentrationslager. In den Jahren der Gefangenschaft lernte er, wie Menschen mit unvorstellbarem Leid umgehen und wie es selbst an Orten größter Unmenschlichkeit möglich ist, einen Sinn im Leben zu sehen. Nach der Befreiung verfasste er in nur neun Tagen diesen bewegenden Erfahrungsbericht über seine Erlebnisse in den Konzentrationslagern Theresienstadt, Auschwitz und Türkheim. In den folgenden Jahrzehnten wurde das Buch zum Klassiker der Überlebensliteratur, Generationen von Leserinnen und Lesern finden darin Trost und Orientierung. In über fünfzig Sprachen übersetzt, bietet es eine faszinierende und auch heute noch tief bewegende Erkundung der menschlichen Willenskraft. Diese hochwertig ausgestattete Neuausgabe bietet erstmalig den Originaltext in neuer Deutscher Rechtschreibung sowie mit einem neuen Geleitwort von Ariadne von Schirach.

How Your Business Can Use the Science That Helped Win the White House§§The average conversion rate--the rate at which visitors convert into customers--across the web is only 2%. That means it's likely that 98% of visitors to your website won't end up converting into customers.§§What's the solution? A/B testing.§§A/B testing is the simple idea of showing several different versions of a web page to live traffic, and then measuring the effect each version has on visitors. Using A/B testing, companies can improve the effectiveness of their marketing and user experience and, in doing so, can sometimes double or triple their conversion rates. Testing has been fundamental in driving the success of Google, Amazon, Netflix, and other top tech companies. Even Barack Obama and Mitt Romney had dedicated teams A/B testing their campaign websites during the 2012 Presidential race.§§In the past, marketing teams were unable to unleash the power of A/B testing because it required costly engineering and IT resources. Today, a new generation of technology that enables marketers to run A/B tests without depending on engineers is emerging and quickly becoming one of the most powerful tools for making data-driven decisions.§§Authors Dan Siroker and Pete Koomen are cofounders of Optimizely, the leading A/B testing platform used by more than 5,000 organizations across the world. A/B Testing: The Most Powerful Way to Turn Clicks Into Customers offers best practices and lessons learned from more than 300,000 experiments run by Optimizely customers.
