How to Master Pressure, Quiet Your Doubts, and Show Up When It Matters Most

Cinema Cultures in Contact

A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press's Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. This wide-ranging intellectual and media history traces China's emergence as a modern state in which boundaries blur between art and design, education and psychological conditioning. Tracking the parallel development of set design and social engineering from the 1920s to the 1960s, Background Matters examines the concept of huanjing (environment), a neologism introduced at the turn of the twentieth century that evoked heated intellectual debates and inspired frenzied aesthetic experimentation. Weihong Bao shows how efforts to reshape the mind consolidated the idea and art of environment by advancing a new theoretical notion of set design: both as aesthetic organization across film, theater, radio, and television and as social experimentation in worldmaking across geopolitical and transnational contexts. Inventive and breathtaking in scope, this book radically rethinks environment not as an external object but as the nexus of mind, medium, and society.

Background Matters: Volume 9

Advances in Spatial Science

This book presents an integrative research methodology designed to support economic recovery and sustainable development in post-conflict regions, with a focus on Iraq. It addresses the critical question of how transportation logistics systems-and the regions they serve-can be made economically viable, resilient, and sustainable in the aftermath of armed conflict.The methodology unfolds in distinct but interconnected stages. The first stage provides a comprehensive overview of the Iraqi economy and its transportation infrastructure, supported by a robust database of transportation, economic, and demographic indicators.In the second stage, the post-ISIS state of Iraq's transportation system is assessed in depth. This includes a detailed analysis of logistics operations, recent infrastructure investments, and projections for future development. A key component of this stage is an expert elicitation process involving 20 stakeholder groups to identify investment priorities and stakeholder dynamics.In the methodology's third stage, alternative approaches to modeling interdependent dynamic decision-making in transportation logistics systems are presented and illustrated.&nbsp;These approaches include a) formulating and solving stochastic multiple-optimization problems with equilibrium constraints involving risk-averse players, b) differential spatial price equilibrium modeling in continuous time, and c) recursive dynamic multiregional computable general equilibrium modeling.&nbsp;&nbsp;The methodology also includes an elaboration and illustration of the notion of 'prosilience,' or the act of engaging in anticipatory contingency planning to promote the resilience of transport logistics systems to future threats.Combining theoretical insight with practical application, this book offers a valuable framework for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners working to rebuild and strengthen transportation systems in fragile and conflict-affected settings.

Impetus

The Instant New York Times bestseller 'Masterful' - Adam Grant 'So interesting' - Pandora Sykes 'Wonderful' - Angela Duckworth An essential read to become the most creative, productive, and satisfied version of yourself, from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Range. We are constantly told to 'keep our options open' and 'think outside the box' - but what if endless freedom is exactly the problem? Drowning in a dizzying excess of choice often leads to dread, anxiety, and burnout. In Inside the Box, award-winning author David Epstein reveals a powerful truth: to thrive, you don't need more freedom. You need to build your own box. From navigating an uncertain future to building a life, intentional boundaries breed brilliance: <ul><li>Relationships: Couples who consciously commit are more satisfied than those who simply 'keep their options open'.</li><li>Artificial Intelligence: A lack of advanced microchips forced engineers at DeepSeek into brilliant workarounds, producing a model to rival ChatGPT.</li><li>Business: General Magic - a tech startup with limitless funding - failed spectacularly because they refused to set internal limits.</li><li>Science: The periodic table wasn't born from boundless genius, but the strict demands of a textbook deadline.</li><li>Music: Jazz pianist Keith Jarrett produced the bestselling solo piano album of all time by adapting to a broken piano.</li></ul> Constraints are not obstacles - they are powerful tools we can wield. Weaving gripping storytelling with cognitive science, Inside the Box proves the secret to expanding your potential isn't chasing endless options. It's taking back control and choosing the right limits. 'David Epstein's first two books - The Sports Gene and Range - were brilliant, but Inside the Box is his best . . . I won't think about my own work the same way ever again' - Malcolm Gladwell

10 Timeless Principles for Young Investors to Build Wealth in the Stock Market and in Life

Everyone's An Investor

'Michael Auerbach has one of the most original minds I've ever encountered . . . This is a dazzling and entertaining book . . . But it is also an urgent warning' PATRICK RADDEN KEEFE, author of Empire of Pain A brilliant exploration of the phenomenon of prediction markets that asks: what happens when democracy becomes another commodity? Prediction markets are sweeping the world, fundamentally changing the nature of gambling - and the very ways in which we attempt to divine the future. Posed as binary 'Yes/No' questions about future events, prediction markets allow any difference of opinion - whether on pop culture or politics, wars or assassinations - to be financialised. A regulatory minefield with moral implications that divide nations, governments and bettors, they have proved as effective at accurately predicting the timing of missile strikes as they have at calling the outcomes of elections.But are these markets really a new phenomenon? And what does it mean when those tasked with safeguarding democracy hold financial stakes in its volatility?From Renaissance Rome, where merchants wagered on papal conclaves, through nineteenth-century London's wartime coffee house gossip, to the Pentagon's ill-fated terrorism futures exchange and blockchain-based betting on Polymarket today, The Big Bet tells the gripping five-hundred-year story of a permissive regime that no one designed and no one voted for.Drawing on deep expertise, Michael Auerbach examines how these markets are changing our world, and what they mean for the future where democracy becomes just another commodity to be priced and traded. Because prediction markets are not an anomaly - they are the logical endpoint of a society that has applied market capitalism to every aspect of life. And in a world where everything is a wager and nothing is off limits, knowing where the chips will fall matters more than ever.

Warum Homo bestialis und Homo culturalis sich die Hand reichen müssenGibt es eine universelle menschliche Natur? Wie frei und vernunftbasiert ist unser Handeln wirklich? Bestsellerautorin und Biologin Meike Stoverock widmet sich der hochaktuellen Frage nach den Grenzen des freien Willens. In 'Human Nature' erkundet sie die Möglichkeiten, die in einem tieferen Verständnis menschlichen Verhaltens liegen - und zeigt, wie wir die Erkenntnisse für notwendigen gesellschaftlichen Wandel nutzen können.Eigentlich leben wir doch in einem Zeitalter der Vernunft: Wir verfügen über mehr Wissen als je zuvor und unsere Zukunftsmodelle werden immer genauer. Und doch scheinen wir als Gesellschaft auf der Stelle zu treten - der Klimawandel schreitet weiter voran, die Kluft zwischen Arm und Reich wächst, der Populismus ist weltweit auf dem Vormarsch und zur Gendergerechtigkeit ist es auch noch ein weiter Weg. Gesellschaftlicher Fortschritt lässt sich nicht allein durch gute Argumente und ausgeklügelte Studien, also auf rationaler Ebene, forcieren. In "Human Nature" zeigt Meike Stoverock auf beeindruckend klare Weise, dass biologische Einflüsse im gesellschaftlichen Diskurs viel stärker in den Fokus rücken müssen. Denn es gilt: Freie Entscheidungen und vernünftiges Handeln gibt es nur im Rahmen physischer Grenzen und psychologischer Selbsterkenntnis. Meike Stoverock löst den vermeintlichen Widerspruch zwischen Gefühl und Verstand auf und eröffnet so völlig neue Zukunftsperspektiven.

From bestselling authors Senator Elizabeth Warren and Amelia Warren Tyagi, an essential guide to surviving and thriving in a rigged economy If you've ever worried about money-how much you have, need, or want-the problem isn't you. It's an economy that has shifted under your feet. A generation ago, the rules were simple: work hard, buy a home, save a little each month, and build a secure, stress-free middle-class life. But over the last few decades, the rich and powerful have transformed our economy-with a government that too often works for them instead of everyone else. And so housing, college, and health-care costs have all exploded. Jobs are less predictable. And retirement feels further away than ever. But you are not powerless. Drawing on decades of research, public service, and real-world experience, Senator Elizabeth Warren and Amelia Warren Tyagi offer an easy-to-understand guide to how the system really works, so you can take control of your money and build financial stability in the world as it is. In The New Middle Class, you will learn how to: - Build a safety net to protect yourself in a precarious economy. - Grow your paycheck-and stay ahead in a shifting world of work. - Be more strategic on housing in a world where starter homes are disappearing. - Navigate the crush of credit card and student loan debt. - Avoid dangerous scams and rip-offs that can cost big money. - And plan for whatever comes next, whether that's college, childcare, homeownership, or retirement. There is no one more knowledgeable or better able to lead Americans through these tumultuous economic times than Senator Warren and Amelia Warren Tyagi. Yes, the economy has changed, and the new middle-class life won't look like the old one. But with these tools and strategies, you can build your own sustainable American dream.
