Many of us assume that our creative process is beyond our ability to influence, and pay attention to it only when it isn't working properly. For the most part, we go about our daily tasks and everything just "works." Until it doesn't. Adding to this lack of understanding is the rapidly accelerating pace of work. Each day we are face escalating expectations and a continual squeeze to do more with less. We are asked to produce an ever-increasing amount of brilliance in an ever-shrinking amount of time. There is an unspoken (or spoken!) expectation that we'll be accessible 24/7, and as a result we frequently feel like we're "always on." Now business creativity expert Todd Henry explains how to unleash your creative potential. Whether you're a creative by trade or an "accidental creative," this book will help you quickly and effectively integrate new ideas into your daily life.

Als der Wissenschaftsjournalist Bas Kast gerade 40-jährig mit Schmerzen in der Brust zusammenbrach, stellte sich ihm eine existenzielle Frage: Hatte er mit Junkfood seine Gesundheit ruiniert? Er nahm sich vor, seine Ernährung radikal umzustellen, um sich selbst zu heilen. Doch was ist wirklich gesund? Eine mehrjährige Entdeckungsreise in die aktuelle Alters- und Ernährungsforschung begann. Was essen besonders langlebige Völker? Wie nimmt man effizient ab? Lassen sich typische Altersleiden vermeiden? Kann man sich mit bestimmten Nahrungsmitteln "jung essen"? Vieles, was wir für gesunde Ernährung halten, kann uns sogar schaden. Aus Tausenden sich zum Teil widersprechenden Studien filtert Bas Kast die wissenschaftlich gesicherten Erkenntnisse über eine wirklich gesunde Kost heraus.

Celebrated NPR music critic Ann Powers explores the life and career of Joni Mitchell in a lyrical style as fascinating and ethereal as the songs of the artist herself..What you are about to read is not a standard account of the life and work of Joni Mitchell. Instead, its a tale of long journeying through a life that changed popular music: of a homesick wanderer forging ahead on routes of her own invention, and of me on her trail, heading toward the ringing of her voice.From the introductionFor decades, Joni Mitchells life and music have enraptured listeners. One of the most celebrated artists of her generation, Mitchell has inspired countless musiciansfrom peers like James Taylor, to inheritors like Prince and Brandi Carlileand authors, who have dissected her music and her life in their writing. At the same time, Mitchell has always been a force beckoning us still closer, aswith the other armshe pushes us away. Given this, music critic Ann Powers wondered if there was another way to draw insights from the life of this singular musician who never stops moving, never stops experimenting.In Traveling, Powers seeks to understand Mitchell through her myriad journeys. Through extensive interviews with Mitchell's peers and deep archival research, she takes readers to rural Canada, mapping the singers childhood battle with polio. She charts the course of Mitchells musical evolution, ranging from early folk to jazz fusion to experimentation with pop synthetics. She follows the winding road of Mitchells collaborations with other greats, and the loves that emerged along the way, all the way through to the remarkable return of Mitchell to music-making after the 2015 aneurysm that nearly took her life.Along this journey, Powers wide-ranging musings on the artists life and career reconsider the biographers role and the way it twines against the reality of a fan. In doing so, Traveling illustrates the shifting nature of biography, and the ultimate contradiction of celebrity: that an icon cannot truly, completely be known to a fan.Kaleidoscopic in scope, and intimate in its detail, Traveling is a fresh and fascinating addition to the Joni Mitchell canon, written by a biographer in full command of her gifts who asks as much of herself as of her subject.
Southampton has been a major port on the South Coast of England since the Middle Ages. As a gateway to the country, over the centuries Southampton has welcomed people from all over the world, as well as being an important embarkation point, most famously for the Mayflower and Titanic, the former evidence of its strong non-conformist tradition. The town grew rapidly following the building of the docks in the 19th century and the development of the shipbuilding industry, particularly with companies such as Thornycroft and Harland & Wolff and the aviation industry as the birthplace of the Spitfire but its importance in the Second World War, including its naval base, meant that it became a target for aerial bombardment and much of the city was destroyed. In subsequent decades the city was rebuilt and today has been redeveloped as a commercial and financial centre, but retaining its many green spaces, and proud of its traditions and the many famous names associated with the city over the years.Celebrating Southampton chronicles the proud heritage of Southampton, its important moments and what draws so many to this dynamic city today. Illustrated throughout, this fascinating book offers a marvellous and refreshingly positive insight into Southamptons rich heritage, its special events and important moments. Celebrating Southampton will be a valuable contribution to the history of the city and provide a source of many memories to those who have known it well over the years. A celebration of Southamptons rich heritage and identity its special events, achievements, people, industry and landmarks.
