The Secret Story of the World's Greatest Disruptor, Masayoshi Son

In 1971, Surinder Arora stepped off a plane at Heathrow, a thirteen-year-old boy with limited English who was sent from the Punjab to find a future in a country so far from home. He had to learn a new language and discover shocking truths about his own family - all while working twice as hard as anyone else to prove his worth.

He never imagined that decades later, he would own the very skyline he first saw from the airplane window. From his early days as a waiter at the Penta hotel and trading on the Blackbushe market stalls to building a billion-pound empire, Surinder's journey is a masterclass in grit and Plan B thinking. Navigating the racial tensions of 1970s Britain, the 2008 financial crash and personal tragedy, he turned a struggle for survival into a legacy of hospitality.

Candid and inspiring, this is the definitive story of how one man conquered the high-stakes world of aviation hospitality.&nbsp;

Risk, Resilience and the Making of a Business Empire

Barefoot Billionaire

***Winner of the Financial Times Business Book of the Year award***UPDATED EDITION WITH A NEW AFTERWORD 'Pulse quickening. A nonfiction thriller - equal parts The China Syndrome&nbsp;and Mission Impossible'&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp; An epic account of the decades-long battle to control the world's most critical resource-microchip technology Power in the modern world - military, economic, geopolitical - is built on a foundation of computer chips. America has maintained its lead as a superpower because it has dominated advances in computer chips and all the technology that chips have enabled. (Virtually everything runs on chips: cars, phones, the stock market, even the electric grid.) Now that edge is in danger of slipping, undermined by the naïve assumption that globalising the chip industry and letting players in Taiwan, Korea and Europe take over manufacturing serves America's interests. Currently, as Chip War reveals, China, which spends more on chips than any other product, is pouring billions into a chip-building Manhattan Project to catch up to the US.&nbsp; In Chip War economic historian Chris Miller recounts the fascinating sequence of events that led to the United States perfecting chip design, and how faster chips helped defeat the Soviet Union (by rendering the Russians' arsenal of precision-guided weapons obsolete). The battle to control this industry will shape our future.&nbsp;China spends more money importing chips than buying oil, and they are China's greatest external vulnerability as they are fundamentally reliant on foreign chips. But with 37 per cent of the global supply of chips being made in Taiwan, within easy range of Chinese missiles, the West's fear is that a solution may be close at hand.&nbsp; 'A riveting history. Features vivid accounts and colourful characters' Financial Times 'Fascinating...A historian by training, Miller walks the reader through decades of semiconductor history - a subject that comes to life thanks to [his] use of colourful anecdotes' Forbes&nbsp; 'Indispensable' Niall Ferguson

Behind the gates of a steelworks was a world most people would never see.The heat. The noise. The molten steel. Twelve-hour shifts. Questionable health and safety. Management bullshit. And, above all else, some absolutely unforgettable characters.This is the story of my years working in the steel industry - starting out knowing virtually nothing and eventually learning to work around machines capable of turning molten steel into slabs and billets.There were dangerous jobs, ridiculous jobs, endless cleaning, night shifts that seemed to last forever, practical jokes, arguments, near misses and moments that could only ever happen inside a steelworks.But this isn't really a book about machinery.It's about the people.The grafters. The piss-takers. The sleepers. The characters with nicknames that made more sense than their real names. The men who could make a twelve-hour shift bearable simply by being there - and the ones who could make it feel twice as long.As the years passed, though, the place began to change. New owners arrived. Uncertainty grew. COVID hit. Casting became less frequent, the bullshit jobs became more common, and eventually walking through those gates became something I genuinely dreaded.After years of thinking I'd probably be there forever, I finally decided I wanted something different.The SteelWorks Years is an honest, funny and sometimes brutal account of working inside an industry that gave me a living, gave me stories I'll probably be telling for the rest of my life - and eventually taught me when it was time to walk away.The names might have changed. The stories haven't.

THE #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER As seen in TIME Magazine and on High Performance podcast 'This book could change your life' - Time Out 'A remarkable reflection on values and psychology based on hard-won experience' - Rory Stewart Expert advice to master your potential, from the founder and CEO of Discovery and Vitality. Adrian Gore built a company from a single, bold idea into a global financial group serving over 50 million customers across more than forty markets. He didn't just scale a business; he created a whole new shared-value business model, a system so revolutionary it's taught as a case study at Harvard Business School and has been recognized by Fortune magazine as 'changing the world'. In The Four Principles, Gore reveals the framework and guiding principles that powered this success for the first time. Moving beyond standard leadership advice, he explores the behavioural science and 'multiplier effect' that occur when these four principles intersect:<ol><li>Disciplined Optimism: We have a default tendency to seek out negative signals. Learn why choosing optimism is the most rational path to seizing overlooked opportunities.</li><li>Focused Urgency: Why your perceived time to make an impact is shorter than you think. Recognizing this can act as your greatest motivator.</li><li>Declared Goals: Psychologically, avoiding a loss feels twice as important as achieving a gain. Setting bold goals triggers this force, unlocking radical motivation and decisive action.</li><li>The 'Pareto Tail': Building on the other principles, learning to identify and target a few high-power decisions can determine your life's entire trajectory.</li></ol> Gore argues that our instincts, shaped for a simpler, linear world, often mislead us in today's complex, networked age. The Four Principles challenges these outdated mental models and shows you how to harness your potential for truly remarkable results - personally and professionally. 'Demonstrates how to create enduring value' - Larry Fink, Chairman and CEO of BlackRock 'Important reading for those aspiring to leadership or seeking to make an impact on the world' - Lord William Hague, Chancellor of the University of Oxford 'The Four Principles distils decades of leadership and insight into a practical framework that explains what matters - and why' - Sir Mark Tucker, Chairman, AIA Group 'For leaders seeking to create outsized impact' - Ruth Porat, President and CIO of Alphabet and Google

Multiply Your Impact in Life and Leadership

The Four Principles

Amid unprecedented growth in electricity demand and the rapid buildout of digital infrastructure, energy has become a strategic imperative. A visionary entrepreneur and energy industry pioneer, Michael Polsky has spent the last half-century at the forefront of the innovation, technology, and market shifts that define the energy landscape. With only $500 in cash, four suitcases, and a few words of English, Polsky immigrated to the US from Soviet Ukraine in 1976. Over the next 25 years, he built two successful energy companies before founding Invenergy in 2001. Since then, the company has grown into North America's largest independent energy developer, owner, and operator. Polsky has navigated all forms of politicization and uncertainty to achieve singular scale in the industry, having developed more than 230 projects, including some of the most complex energy infrastructure in the world. Reflecting on his remarkable journey, Polsky draws on his experience across nearly every energy technology to provide a firsthand account of the profound transformation underway. Inexhaustible is a story of deep determination and relentless effort, presenting a pragmatic vision for the future of American energy--and what it will take for us to achieve true energy independence.

My Journey Into the Future of Energy

Inexhaustible

**Longlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize**'Andrea Wulf belongs to the small, splendid canon of writers unafraid to render fact with feeling' Maria Popova, creator of The Marginalian and author of FiguringAn inspiring biography of the remarkable naturalist, explorer and revolutionary, by the bestselling author of The Invention of Nature George Forster was a man out of time: he journeyed to the far reaches of the known world and challenged the worldviews of eighteenth-century Europe with radical ideas about equality and freedom. Celebrated during his lifetime, he knew Goethe, Benjamin Franklin, Mary Wollstonecraft and Alexander von Humboldt but has since been largely forgotten by history.The Traveller seeks to restore Forster as one of the great visionaries of his era. At the age of seventeen he joined Captain Cook's second voyage - an exploration of vast contrasts from the icy world of Antarctica to the tropical islands of the South Pacific. A brilliant mind driven by boundless curiosity, he studied the diverse nature, people and cultures he encountered and came back imbued with a deep belief in the equality of races. On his return he was feted in England, France, Germany and Poland, using his fame to advocate freedom and human rights and argue against empire, racism and slavery. He admired strong and educated women and was proud to have daughters. The book traces how - inspired by the French Revolution - he became a leader of the short-lived Republic of Mainz and was eventually forced into exile in Paris during the Reign of Terror.Following in Forster's footsteps from Europe to Tahiti, and drawing on a wealth of correspondence mostly unpublished in English, Andrea Wulf paints a portrait of a remarkable, passionate figure unbound by place, people or establishment. She vividly conveys his extraordinary quest to find what connects us rather than what sets us apart.

The Revolutionary Life of George Forster and his Search for Humanity

The Traveller

To understand today's world-its media, its politics, and its culture wars-you must first understand Rupert Murdoch. For seventy years, he cultivated leaders like Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, Tony Blair, and, eventually, Donald Trump. Across continents and decades, presidents and prime ministers sought his favor-and feared his wrath. But Murdoch's real achievement is how he built that influence in the first place.&nbsp;At twenty-one years old, he inherited two failing Australian papers after his father's sudden death left the family in debt with rivals circling. Deal by deal, he fought his way from Adelaide to London to America, buying up ailing newspapers that his established competitors were convinced would fail. With each win, he wagered more, until he'd assembled a globe-spanning empire that gave him leverage over politics, culture, and the news itself. He nearly lost it all under a mountain of debt in 1990. He missed the internet, twice. A phone-hacking scandal made him a pariah in the UK. And late in life, he fought his own children over who would inherit what he'd built. Yet Murdoch's influence persisted through every crisis: his career both masterclass and cautionary tale about the power that comes from controlling the story. Drawing on hundreds of interviews, this sweeping biography reveals the man behind the empire-and the century he helped shape.

Rupert Murdoch and the Deals That Shaped a Century

Empire of Influence

A lesson-packed success story for the twenty-first century, from a ninth-generation Kentuckian who imported the Silicon Valley playbook to the heartland, revealing how the entrepreneurial mindset can be applied anywhere, and even to our most stubborn industries. In his case: trash. When Nate Morris decided to build a business, he wasn’t looking to disrupt—he was looking for a problem to solve. Morris believed that the bigger the problem, the more the market would reward him for solving it. And one of the biggest problems, he came to believe, was one that every person, business, and community dealt with on a daily basis, but which was often overlooked: waste. American Trash is the moving story of how a ninth-generation Kentuckian—a boy who grew up being called “white trash”—applied the innovative thinking we associate with Silicon Valley startups to the ancient problem of waste. Raised on the scrappy resourcefulness of his grandfather, president of their local autoworkers’ union, Morris built Rubicon, a waste management company powered by digital technology. Unlike the bloated industry titans of yesterday, Rubicon was asset light: It wouldn’t own landfills, so it would be free of the perverse incentive to fill the land with chemical-laden trash, and it wouldn’t own trucks, so it would support “mom and pop” hauler businesses. Most important, it would be based in Georgia and Kentucky, thousands of miles from the near-sighted culture of Silicon Valley. In telling his story, Morris shows how he combined the great tradition of American entrepreneurship with the lessons of the digital economy—and did it far from the coastal bastions of the technology elite. The result is a blueprint for those seeking to tackle our biggest challenges with creative, free-market solutions.

How Cold War geopolitics and domestic capitalism changed the trajectory of India’s computing industry India today is widely recognized for producing world-class tech talent and Silicon Valley leaders, yet captures only a fraction of the global tech industry’s profits, primarily providing skilled but inexpensive labor for Western corporations. Computing in the Age of Decolonization uncovers the overlooked history behind this paradox, tracing India's ambitious but ultimately thwarted drive to build a self-reliant computing industry from the 1950s to the 1980s. After independence in 1947, Indian scientists and policymakers at institutions such as the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research saw computing as central to national sovereignty, economic growth, and scientific advancement. Through projects such as the groundbreaking TIFRAC computer and the decisive expulsion of IBM, they aimed for technological independence. But almost immediately, these initiatives faced powerful political and economic headwinds. Indian computer scientists grappled with Cold War politics, international trade imbalances, US corporate monopolies, and strategic decisions by India's technocratic elite, who favored profitable technical services over costly investments in research and manufacturing. In narrating this lost future, Computing in the Age of Decolonization shows that genuine technological independence requires more than technical expertise—it demands addressing enduring political and social structures rooted in colonial legacies. As global struggles over technology intensify, this book reveals how historical pathways continue to shape contemporary battles for technological and economic sovereignty.

India’s Lost Technological Revolution

Computing in the Age of Decolonization

Aachener Beiträge zur Wissenschafts- und Technikgeschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts

Wenn heute vom Computer gesprochen wird, ist meist der kleine Personal Computer mit Tastatur, Bildschirm und Maus gemeint, der seit 1981 den Weg in Millionen Büros und Haushalte gefunden hat und meist zur Textverarbeitung, für Kalkulationen, zum Spielen und zunehmend auch als Medium für Kommunikation und Information verwendet wird. Davor war ein ganz anderes Bild des Computers in der Öffentlichkeit vorherrschend. Computer waren riesige technische Geräte, mit deren Betrieb ein ganzes Team von Technikern, Operateuren und Programmierern beschäftigt war.Erst mit der Entwicklung preiswerter Speicherbausteine und Prozessoren sowie dem Auftauchen junger, risikobereiter Unternehmen wie Xerox, Apple oder Microsoft, die an den Erfolg von preiswerten Computern für jedermann glaubten, wurde der PC Anfang der achtziger Jahre zu einem gefragten Produkt. Dabei zeigte sich, dass der Erfolg nicht nur an den technischen Eigenschaften lag, sondern auch an der veränderten Einstellung potenzieller Nutzer.In diesem Buch wird vor allem der Frage nachgegangen, vor welchem kulturellen Hintergrund die Idee der persönlichen Informationsverarbeitungsmaschine entstanden ist und wie sich diese im Laufe der Zeit unter dem Einfluss anderer Wissenschafts- und Technikentwicklungen verändert hat. Geschildert wird die spannende, aber wenig bekannte Geschichte des interaktiven Computers von 1945 bis 1985, aus der deutlich wird, dass der Computer in seiner heutigen Form auch der Schlusspunkt eher zufälliger lokaler Gegebenheiten und Umstände ist, die sich die zahlreichen Akteure so gut es eben ging zunutze machten.
Die Arbeit wurde im Jahre 1999 vom Verein Deutscher Ingenieure mit dem Rudolf-Kellermann-Preis für Technikgeschichte ausgezeichnet.https://doi.org/10.47261/1622
