The Pity Party
￥149.48
When liberals don't have reason, authority, or the American people on their side, they turn to the one thing they never run out of: Pity.For decades, conservatives have chafed at being called "heartless" and "uncaring" by liberals who maintain that our essential choice as a nation is between the politics of kindness and the politics of cruelty. In The Pity Party, political scientist William Voegeli turns the tables on this argument, making the case that "compassion" is neither the essence of personal virtue nor the ultimate purpose of government. Over the years, liberals have built a remarkable edifice of government programs that are justified by appeals to compassion: Head Start, immigration reform, gun control, affirmative action, and entitlements, to name only some. As Voegeli amply demonstrates, the liberals who promote these massive programs are weirdly indifferent as to whether they succeed. Instead, when the problems they are intended to solve fail to disappear, liberals double down, calling for yet more programs and ever greater expenditures in the name of "compassion." Meanwhile, conservatives who challenge the effectiveness of these programs are slandered as "heartless right-wingers." Yet rather than challenge this tendentious liberal argument, the many conservatives it intimidates feel it necessary to insist that they really do "care." However, liberal compassion's good intentions consistently fail to translate into good results. Voegeli walks the reader through a plethora of programs that have become battlefields between conservatives fighting for more efficiency and liberals fighting for more budget-busting federal programs to address an ever-expanding catalog of social ills. Along the way, he explains the underpinnings of the liberal philosophy that reinforce this misapplied ideal and shows why today's self-described compassionate liberals are ultimately unfit to govern.
How Companies Win
￥149.48
For the past twenty years, the growth formula for business has been to increase revenues by expanding product offerings and streamlining supply. But with the recent global recession, the world economy has changed forever. Now the old tools most notably supply-chain management are no longer enough. In a new digital age characterized by over-supply and too many product types in almost every market, the new challenge is to locate and capture the elusive pools of high-profit demand.Rick Kash and David Calhoun have the answer: a revolutionary, demand-driven model that has already proved successful for some of the world's most admired companies, including Best Buy, Anheuser-Busch, Hershey's, and Allstate. At the heart of this powerful new business model is an achievable vision for a new kind of winning company, one that uses sophisticated new tools and techniques to discover, characterize, and then serve these pools of high-profit demand and in the process gain pricing power in that market. Kash and Calhoun show how to use everything from social networks to more revealing and effective consumer-research techniques and then introduce the demand chain, the logical new partner to your supply chain. The authors' principles, case histories, and insights will help your business run faster, cut costs, and become better able to deliver high-quality products and services, even in the tightest economic climate.How Companies Win is a compelling call to action to engage every level within a company, small or large, local or global.
Lincoln Unbound
￥149.48
In this thoughtful mix of history and politics, the New York Times bestselling author and editor of National Review the conservative bible founded by William F. Buckley, Jr. traces Abraham Lincoln's ambitious climb from provincial upstart to political powerhouse and calls for a renewal of the Lincoln ethic of relentless striving.Revered today across the political spectrum, Abraham Lincoln believed in a small but active government in a nation defined by aspiration. Fired by an indomitable ambition from a young age, the man who would be immortalized as the "railsplitter" never wanted to earn his living with an ax. He educated himself in a frontier environment characterized by mind-numbing labor and then turned his back on that world. All his life, he preached a gospel of work and discipline toward the all-important ends of self-improvement and individual advancement. As a Whig and then a Republican, he worked to smash the rural backwardness in which he was raised and the Southern plantation economy that depended on human bondage.Both were unacceptably stultifying of human potential. In short, Lincoln lived the American Dream and succeeded in opening a way to it for others. He saw in the nation's founding documents the unchanging foundation of an endlessly dynamic society. He embraced the market and the amazing transportation and communications revolutions beginning to take hold. He helped give birth to the modern industrial economy that arose before the Civil War and that took off after it.His vision of an upwardly mobile society that rewards and supports individual striving was wondrously realized. Now it is under threat. Economic stagnation and social breakdown are undermining mobility and the American way. To meet these challenges, Rich Lowry draws us back to the lessons of Lincoln. It is imperative, he argues, to preserve a fluid economy and the bourgeois virtues that make it possible for individuals to thrive within it.
To Keep the British Isles Afloat
￥149.48
An inside look at the work and adventures of Harry Hopkins and Averell Harriman in the creation of history's most remarkable international partnership After the fall of France in June 1940, London became the center of world political theater. For the U.S. president, the vital question was: could Britain, with American help, hold out against the might of Nazi GermanyWhile keeping the United States officially neutral, Franklin D. Roosevelt devised an unprecedented strategy, leading to the revolutionary idea of lend-lease. But was Winston Churchill famous as a speechmaker but regarded by many as a reckless politician and possibly a drunk a good betTo find the answer, Roosevelt dispatched his closest associate, Harry Hopkins, to Britain on a mission. Hopkins's endorsement of Churchill put an end to FDR's doubts, and with the passage of the Lend-Lease Act the president sent Averell Harriman, a wealthy financier and entrepreneur, to London "to keep the British Isles afloat." For Harriman, the assignment turned out to be the great adventure of a remarkable life.Filled with vivid details and great storytelling, To Keep the British Isles Afloat explores the still-misunderstood beginnings of the unique Anglo-American alliance in World War II, offering an intriguing new look at Roosevelt's thinking and a fresh perspective on the relationship between the president and the prime minister.
Epic Measures
￥149.48
Moneyball meets medicine in this remarkable chronicle of one of the greatest scientific quests of our time and the visionary mastermind behind it.Medical doctor and economist Christopher Murray began the Global Burden of Disease study to gain a truer understanding of how we live and how we die. While it is one of the largest scientific projects ever attempted—as breathtaking as the first moon landing or the Human Genome Project—the questions it answers are meaningful for every one of us: What are the world's health problemsWho do they hurtHow muchWhereWhy?Murray argues that the ideal existence isn't simply the longest, but the one lived well and with the least illness. Until we can accurately measure global health issues, we cannot understand what makes us sick or do much to improve it. Challenging the accepted wisdom of the WHO and the UN, the charismatic and controversial health maverick has made enemies—as well as some influential friends, including Bill Gates who gave Murray a $100 million grant.Told with novelistic verve by acclaimed journalist Jeremy N. Smith, the story of Murray's lifelong determination to understand how we live and die encompasses wars and famines, presidents and activists, billionaires and billions of people worldwide living in poverty. It shows the human side of scientific revolutions and of revolutionary scientists—their breakthroughs and setbacks, their genius and their flaws, their champions and their critics—as they strive to bring the news of their findings to the world. This transformational effort is far from over, but the story of its genesis and impact is already an epic tale.

The Breakthrough Imperative
￥149.26
Every general manager today all the way up to the CEO is expected by his or her stakeholders to achieve new breakthroughs in performance and fast. Those who don't make visible progress toward that goal within the first year or two will likely find themselves looking for another job. It is precisely because of this growing breakthrough imperative that managers today, whether in corporations or nonprofits, need to get off to a fast start. They don't have time for mistakes or for going back and redoing what they should have done right in the first place. But, despite the intensity of these pressures, despite the high expectations and short time frames, a number of CEOs and general managers turn in truly exceptional results. How do they meet and exceed the breakthrough imperativeTo answer this question, consultants and former managers Mark Gottfredson and Steve Schaubert interviewed more than forty CEOs from both industry and the nonprofit sector, conducted an intensive study of what successful managers do right and what some do wrong and drew on their own combined fifty-plus years of experience at Bain & Company, where their insights have consistently been found in the pages of the Harvard Business Review. Together they came up with the four straightforward principles deceptively simple yet remarkably powerful that everyone must follow to succeed at achieving breakthrough results: 1. Costs and prices always decline2. Competitive position determines options3. Customers and profit pools don't stand still4. Simplicity gets results Although seemingly simplistic, mastering these four laws means mastering the basics of great management a foundation on which to build the rest of one's management strategy. Whether you're managing a small work group or a multinational corporation, a single division or an entire nonprofit, The Breakthrough Imperative presents these core laws of business to help you determine where you are, just how far you can go, and how to get there with stellar results.
Thieves of Mercy
￥149.26
Having survived the bloody Battle of New Orleans and the loss of their ironclad Yazoo River, captain Samuel Bowater, engineer Hieronymus Taylor, and the survivors of their crew are given new orders -- take command of an ironclad warship being built in Memphis, Tennessee.Bowater and his men take passage upriver from "Mississippi" Mike Sullivan, one of the wild, undisciplined captains of the River Defense Squadron, only to find, on their arrival, that their ship is not even half built and the enemy is closing fast. Against their better judgment, Bowater and crew join forces with the mercurial Sullivan on board his ad hoc river gunship the General Page. Outnumbered and outgunned, the Confederates once again fling themselves bravely at the overwhelming power of the Yankee invaders. The deadly back-and-forth fight along the Mississippi ends at last in the massive naval battle of Memphis, and the near-suicidal attempt by the Confederates to hold back the Northern flood.Filled with wild characters and heart-pounding action, and set against the bold backdrop of the Civil War, Thieves of Mercy is a worthy successor to the W. Y. Boyd Award-winning novel Glory in the Name, the book Bernard Cornwell lauded as "by far, the best Civil War novel I've read."
The Invisible Sex
￥149.26
Shaped by cartoons and museum dioramas, our vision of Paleolithic times tends to feature fur-clad male hunters fearlessly attacking mammoths while timid women hover fearfully behind a boulder. In fact, recent research has shown that this vision bears little relation to reality.The field of archaeology has changed dramatically in the past two decades, as women have challenged their male colleagues' exclusive focus on hard artifacts such as spear points rather than tougher to find evidence of women's work. J. M. Adovasio and Olga Soffer are two of the world's leading experts on perishable artifacts such as basketry, cordage, and weaving. In The Invisible Sex, the authors present an exciting new look at prehistory, arguing that women invented all kinds of critical materials, including the clothing necessary for life in colder climates, the ropes used to make rafts that enabled long-distance travel by water, and nets used for communal hunting. Even more important, women played a central role in the development of language and social life in short, in our becoming human. In this eye-opening book, a new story about women in prehistory emerges with provocative implications for our assumptions about gender today.

高效率、慢生活的全新工作法：职场时间管理法则(套装共三册)
￥149.10
《稀缺》： 在长期研究穷人和扶贫的过程中，塞德希尔.穆来纳森发现他和穷人的焦虑竟然类似：穷人缺钱，他缺时间。在这一现象基础上，他与普林斯顿大学心理学教授埃尔德.沙菲尔行了大量的实验室研究和现实调查，却发现了一个存在于世人中间的惊人真相：穷困之人会永远缺钱，而忙碌之人会永远缺时间。 但是，一步的研究证实：这些都是表面现象。因为即便是给穷人一笔钱，给拖延症患者一些时间，他们也无法变得富足和高效。实际上，在长期性的资源（钱、时间）稀缺中，人们已经形成了“管窥”之见，只能看到“管子”之中的事物，虽然这有可能为我们带来“专注红利”（短期的富裕或效率），但是从长远来看，这种“专心致志”反而会让我们产生“权衡式思维”，不断增加我们的带宽负担——当1元钱的价值在穷人与富人之间产生了巨大差异时，当印度金奈的街头小贩们陷了无止境的借贷压力时，当每个人都处在多任务处理的“杂耍”状态中时……理性的经济模型和行为方式都会变得不再符合自身的内在逻辑。稀缺会俘获我们的大脑，渐渐让我们失去认知能力和执行控制力，变得更加愚笨和冲动。 《稀缺 我们是如何陷贫穷与忙碌的》是《思考，快与慢》作者丹尼尔.卡尼曼推崇的行为经济学新作，它旨在揭示稀缺心态的各种复杂成因，并提出以“余闲”牵制稀缺的应对之法。所以，只有对“带宽”行合理的规划和管理，我们才有可能从稀缺走向富足。 《精要主义》： 你是否也觉得无情的压力正在碾压生活中那些美好的东西？ 你是否经常感到疲惫异常却又没有发挥所能？ 你是否发现自己只擅长做琐碎小事？ 你是否感到自己总是忙忙碌碌却效率低下？ 你是否觉得自己的时间总是被别人的安排乱？ 你是否觉得自己一直在奔波，却总是到不了任何地方？ 若想要*限度成就真正重要之事，切忌贪多求全，事事应允。如果答案不是一个确定的Yes，就是一个肯定的No。只有摒弃琐碎而无足轻重的生活，才能过真正重要而有意义的人生。 精要主义主张只做该做的事情。它向“我可以拥有一切”和“我可以做好一切”的主流论断发起攻，倡导“在合适的时机，以恰当的方式，追求合适的事情”。它旨在让人们重新掌控自己的选择权，自主决定如何支配宝贵的时间和精力——而不再是许可他人替我们作出选择。 本书介绍了精要主义者的思维模式，并将这种模式转化为一种系统化的程序，助你拜托无意义的多数，专注有意义的少数，成就有意义、有目的的人生。对于那些想要重新掌控自己的健康、幸福与快乐的人来说，这是一本***之作。 《慢决策》： 在极速时代，大多数人已经习惯于快速反应。无论是在工作还是生活中，我们时刻感受到时间的挤压与催促。 你是否每天都被“速度”和“效率”压得喘不过气？ 你是否想快速完成每一个任务，却发现哪个都没做好？ 你是否曾在仓惶中做出过令你后悔的决定？ 你是否对拖延深恶痛绝，又无可奈何？ 华尔街金融畅销书《泥鸽靶》《火柴大王》作者帕特诺伊，用《慢决策》颠覆你的常识，重新定义“慢”的智慧。 这是一本讨论决策时机及教你如何在充分思考后果断下决定的书。“慢决策”主张等待是生活的常态，只要延迟得恰到好处，在做决定前等待一段时间尽可能搜集更多信息，行动起来便可得心应手。 帕特诺伊教授通过探访百余位专家，从投资管理、喜剧表演、比赛、军事策略制定、创新发明，甚至说话、约会、道歉等对时机的正确把握中，揭时间管理与延迟决策的谜团。“慢决策”才能够领导“快时代”！
