    Deep Impact when it Matters Most

    EW Economie-lezing 2022. Paperback, in zeer goede staat

    Nancy McKinstry, bestuursvoorzitter van informatieleverancier Wolters Kluwer, over de razendsnelle technologische veranderingen, de daaruit voortvloeiende ethische vraagstukken en het belang van diversiteit en inclusiviteit voor ondernemingen als Wolters Kluwer.00Dit boek bevat de Nederlandse vertaling plus het Engelse origineel - uitgebreid en geannoteerd - van de vijfde EW Economie-lezing die de bestuursvoorzitter van informatieleverancier Wolters Kluwer Nancy McKinstry donderdagavond 10 maart 2022 heeft uitgesproken in debatcentrum De Rode Hoed in Amsterdam.00De Amerikaanse McKinstry (63) is sinds september 2003 CEO en voorzitter van de raad van bestuur van informatieleverancier Wolters Kluwer. Toonaangevende media hebben haar herhaaldelijk een van de machtigste vrouwen in het bedrijfsleven genoemd. Ze staat op de lijst van Fortune International?s Most Powerful Women in Business en is opgenomen in HBR?s 2019-lijst van ?de meest effectieve CEO?s van de wereld?.00In de jaarlijkse EW Economie-lezing geven ondernemers, bestuurders van bedrijven en economen hun visie op ontwikkelingen in de samenleving. De EW Economie-lezing is eerder uitgesproken door Ben van Beurden (Shell), Pieter Elbers (KLM), Frans van Houten (Philips) en Jacco Vonhof (MKB-Nederland). Nancy McKinstry vertegenwoordigt bij dit eerste lustrum een dubbele primeur: zij is de eerste vrouw én de eerste niet-Nederlander die de EW Economie-lezing verzorgt.0.

    The Chronicle of the...

    The Chronicle of the Lodz Ghetto, 1941-1944

    Paperback, als nieuw

    A devastating, day-by-day record of life in the second-largest Jewish ghetto in Nazi Europe--a community that was reduced from 163,177 people in 1941 to 877 by 1944. Compiled by inhabitants of the ghetto and illustrated with more than seventy haunting photographs, the Chronicle is a document unparalleled among writings on the Holocaust.
    "A remarkable piece of testimony. To read it is to pay the dead the small tribute of remembrance, and to be devastated by a picture of a particular and terrible hell."--Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
    "The Chronicle of the Lodz Ghetto tears at the mind and heart and leaves a dark and numbing rage in the center of the soul."--Chaim Potok, The Philadelphia Inquirer
    "Fascinating, disturbing."--Elie Wiesel, The New York Times Book Review
    " Dobroszycki] has done a major service not only to historians and students of the Holocaust, but to all those, both Jews and non-Jews, who are interested in how a tyrannical regime can exploit, starve, and deceive tens of thousands of intelligent, articulate people in time of war."--Martin Gilbert, The New York Review of Books
    "Sober yet unforgettably vivid."--S.S. Prawer, Times Literary Supplement
    "A milestone in Holocaust studies. Its wealth of information and accuracy, and the systematic manner in which it was compiled, makes in an unequalled source on the history of the destruction of European Jewry."--Alexander Zvielli, The Jerusalem Post Magazine
    "Well worth reading as a record of extremes of human experience."--Majorie Meehan, M.D., American Journal of Psychiatry
    "Dr. Dobroszycki is a survivor of the ghetto. He is also a trained historian with a sophisticated, finely honed mind. No one knows as much about these records as he does. No one understands them better."--Raul Hilberg
    Lucjan Dobroszycki is a historian at YIVO Institute for Jewish Research and Yeshiva University.

    The Gene

    The Gene

    In het Engels. Paperback, gebruikssporen, in redelijk tot best wel goede staat. 

    The #1 NEW YORK TIMES Bestseller
    The basis for the PBS Ken Burns Documentary The Gene: An Intimate History

    From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Emperor of All Maladies—a fascinating history of the gene and “a magisterial account of how human minds have laboriously, ingeniously picked apart what makes us tick” (Elle).

    “Sid Mukherjee has the uncanny ability to bring together science, history, and the future in a way that is understandable and riveting, guiding us through both time and the mystery of life itself.” —Ken Burns

    “Dr. Siddhartha Mukherjee dazzled readers with his Pulitzer Prize-winning The Emperor of All Maladies in 2010. That achievement was evidently just a warm-up for his virtuoso performance in The Gene: An Intimate History, in which he braids science, history, and memoir into an epic with all the range and biblical thunder of Paradise Lost” (The New York Times). In this biography Mukherjee brings to life the quest to understand human heredity and its surprising influence on our lives, personalities, identities, fates, and choices.

    “Mukherjee expresses abstract intellectual ideas through emotional stories…[and] swaddles his medical rigor with rhapsodic tenderness, surprising vulnerability, and occasional flashes of pure poetry” (The Washington Post). Throughout, the story of Mukherjee’s own family—with its tragic and bewildering history of mental illness—reminds us of the questions that hang over our ability to translate the science of genetics from the laboratory to the real world. In riveting and dramatic prose, he describes the centuries of research and experimentation—from Aristotle and Pythagoras to Mendel and Darwin, from Boveri and Morgan to Crick, Watson and Franklin, all the way through the revolutionary twenty-first century innovators who mapped the human genome.

    “A fascinating and often sobering history of how humans came to understand the roles of genes in making us who we are—and what our manipulation of those genes might mean for our future” (Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel), The Gene is the revelatory and magisterial history of a scientific idea coming to life, the most crucial science of our time, intimately explained by a master. “The Gene is a book we all should read” (USA TODAY).
