Williams M: The PEMDAS of People

The PEMDAS of People

“Schlink knows how to tell a gripping yarn . . . [The Granddaughter] is a rewarding and wonderfully readable novel.” —The Guardian“A brilliant dissection of a fragmented nation in which a glimmer of hope relieves a somber but wholly memorable tale.” —Kirkus (starred review)From the bestselling author of The Reader, a striking exploration of the past, told through the story of a German bookseller’s attempt to connect with his radicalized granddaughter.It is only after the sudden death of his wife, Birgit, that Kaspar discovers the price she paid years earlier when she fled East Germany to join him: she had to abandon her baby. Shattered by grief, yet animated by a new hope, Kaspar closes up his bookshop in present day Berlin and sets off to find her lost child in the east.His search leads him to a rural community of neo-Nazis, intent on reclaiming and settling ancestral lands to the East. Among them, Kaspar encounters Svenja, a woman whose eyes, hair, and even voice remind him of Birgit. Beside her is a red-haired, slouching, fifteen-year-old girl. His granddaughter? Their worlds could not be more different— an ideological gulf of mistrust yawns between them— but he is determined to accept her as his own.More than twenty-five years after The Reader, Bernhard Schlink once again offers a masterfully gripping novel that powerfully probes the past’s role in contemporary life, transporting us from the divided Germany of the 1960s to modern day Australia, and asking what unites or separates us.Translated from the German by Charlotte Collins

A Novel

The Granddaughter

The Shortest History Series

Through more than nine centuries of shifting borders, environmental change, and political evolution, Turkey has been a cultural melting pot and a nation-state bent on ethnic unity. It has seen conquest and reform, appeals to tradition and calls to modernize. It has been a home to Christians, Jews, Muslims, and more, and it has aggressively pursued both secularization and Islamization.Built on the foundations of the Ottoman Empire-the most enduring, and perhaps the most important, Islamic empire in history-Turkey's long, complex history is beset by political and religious turmoil. But the country's national story also illuminates a rich culture developed over thousands of years, reflecting culinary diversity, artisan craftsmanship, and architectural achievement.In this concise yet nuanced overview, historian Benjamin Fortna examines Turkey's complex trajectory from ancient Byzantine civilization to modern republic, through to the present-day leadership by the populist, authoritarian President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. In just 250 pages, Fortna reveals how opposing visions of Turkey have shaped its national identity and its people-and its place in contemporary history. The Shortest History books deliver thousands of years of history in one riveting, fast-paced read.

How we can prepare children to find insights and cognitive agency in a world of ever shrinking opportunities to learn how things work. From infancy onwards, children show a natural interest in the hidden causes of surface patterns. But that kind of childhood is being derailed by a world that is no longer causally transparent. Younger generations seek different kinds of explanations now, value different kinds of experts, and are more prone to outsource their understandings. In many cases, they don’t realize how much they have surrendered their intellectual efficacy. What does this all mean for their learning? In The Disappearance of Insight, Frank Keil investigates how rapid technological change is shaping the world around us--and what this all means for our children and their futures. Explanation and understanding are at the heart of a cognitively meaningful life. But the things we can explain and want to understand are dramatically changing. In many cases, over the past fifty years or so, those things—and parts of things—have shifted from easily interpretable components to opaque ones. In 1960, for example, the insides of thermostats, cameras, and clocks revealed how they worked. Today, their insides are indecipherable circuit boards. The author shows why insight and explanations are at the heart of higher-level human cognition; explores how artifacts and their roles in evolving cultures can shape thought and developing minds; and does much more, in this fascinating deep dive into cognition, learning, and AI.

Burnout rising. Systems cracking. Talent leaving. The solution: design for human dignity and full-person diversity—with this award-winning guide. The Canary Code reorganizes work for thriving—starting with those first impacted by faulty systems, like canaries first sensing toxic air in coal mines. Neurodivergent talent (members of ADHD, autism, Tourette’s syndrome, and learning-differences communities, and others who think and experience life differently) offer unique skills and exceptional work ethics, yet face employment barriers. Their unique abilities and perspectives are excluded, and their canary warnings about bullying, broken workflows, or ethical drift are ignored. This practical guide helps CEOs, managers, HR leaders, and changemakers improve work for all. Drawing on science and lived experience, 2025 Thinkers50 Talent Award winner and internationally renowned management expert Ludmila Praslova shows how embracing neurodiversity creates healthier, more innovative systems. A neurodivergent organizational psychologist with over twenty-five years of global practice and research on inclusive organizations, she offers the following: <ul><li>A holistic framework of human differences (social, cognitive, emotional, physical)</li><li>An intersectional, whole-person approach to neuroinclusion</li><li>Dignity-based talent practices, from hiring to leadership development</li><li>Global perspectives celebrating diverse neurodivergent voices</li><li>Actionable strategies for change at any organizational level</li></ul> Blending lived experience, academic rigor, and accessible writing, this groundbreaking work exemplifies neuroinclusion. It clearly indicates academic, applied, and personal content, supporting an individualized reader experience.

What lies underneath digital platforms—their invisible architecture and governance that determine everything visible. Every time you unlock your phone, stream a show, or start your car, you’re entering a world shaped by thousands of engineering decisions you’ll never see. Most platform conversations fixate on their visible canopy—business models, user experience, competitive strategy—the “leaves,” in a sense. Platforms by Amrit Tiwana excavates their roots. The book begins with a simple DNA test that separates authentic from faux platforms, then traces the forces turning tractors, pacemakers, and elevators into platforms. Using the platform trinity, the author explores principles behind why platforms behave so differently, why superior technology doesn’t always win, and why—unlike products that reach a final form—platforms never stop evolving. From there the book explains platforms’ two hidden root systems: The first system, architecture, shows how Lego-like “modular” design, frozen interfaces, and prefab building blocks let thousands of outsiders contribute pieces that snap into colossal systems. The second system, governance, describes where architecture confronts human behavior. Elegant architecture flails with poor governance, so both demand discipline.

Two of the world's leading researchers on behavior and decision-making join forces to equip readers with the knowledge, tools, and techniques to live their fullest human life in an age of powerful technology.We have more choice than ever before yet feel less in control. This book is about fighting back—individually and collectively—and becoming the best of ourselves.Drawing on over 1,000 experiments run across more than seventy countries, Halpern and Costa pair rigorous scientific findings with compelling stories, to pull back the curtain on the psychological, systemic, and technological forces that shape our decisions and behavior. More than that, they outline practical ways to make better decisions and put humans back in the driver’s seat with agency to shape—rather than be manipulated by—the forces around us.Super-Human unfolds across three parts: <ul><li>Human. What can each of us do to sharpen our own decision-making and strengthen our agency?</li><li>Supra-Human. How can we design social networks, markets, and institutions to expand human agency?</li><li>Super-Human. How can we shape artificial intelligence so that it amplifies human capability and agency rather than replacing or eroding it?</li></ul>Our minds have been shaped by the technologies and institutions of our ancestors, in ways they could not have anticipated. We have an advantage they lacked: we can see the choices coming. Super-Human ultimately asks us to make the biggest choice of all: in an age when machines can “think,” act, and even “feel” on our behalf—what kind of humans do we want to be? Can we become both more super, and more human?

Reclaiming Our Power to Choose and Shape the Future

Super-Human

An innovative, learn-by-doing textbook that teaches how to design for the web while engaging a critical lens on the technoculture that sustains it. Critical web design, like critical design, employs a social usefulness to challenge the ways technology enters our lives. It reclaims the mechanisms, tools, and practices used to produce coercive and commercial interfaces, harnessing the power of design and networked information to question preconceptions about the medium itself. This engaging, practical textbook explores how to design for the web while maintaining a critical understanding of the technoculture that sustains it. Motivated by new media art practices and speculative design, xtine burrough and Owen Mundy teach readers to conceptualize, design, and program responsive websites as both an applied and creative practice, making professional front end development tools accessible to all. <ul><li>Learn-by-doing approach builds technical skills in interface design, usability/accessibility, and coding in HTML/CSS and Javascript</li><li>Historical, political, and philosophical context relates the “why” argument for learning to code</li><li>Case studies and interviews with artists and designers bring ideas to life</li><li>Supplemental resources include code, exercises, and demonstrations</li></ul>

A wide-ranging analysis of how the material limits to discrete, silicon-based computing power impact employment and automation. Since the end of the Second World War, we have come to expect continual growth in computing power and the rapid development of digital technology. This dynamic has enabled informational procedures to supplant an ever-increasing range of human and mechanical activity. However, indications that the semiconductor industry is approaching the physical limits of integrated circuitry pose an existential challenge to Intel Corporation cofounder Gordon Moore’s “law,” which prescribes an exponential increase in microchip density—and, by extension, processing performance—every two years. Placing theories of employment in dialectical conjunction with the concrete operations of computing, 100% Utilization explores the consequences of pushing processing power to its limits for a culture seemingly reliant on automation as much as human labor. In accounting for this contradiction, Andrew Lison offers a corrective to theories of digital mediation emphasizing its symbolic and representational capabilities. He connects the looming end of Moore’s law to trends in semiconductor manufacturing, custom hardware, and parallelized software techniques, including AI. Ultimately, he traces this historical technological boom and impending bust through the racialized history of Silicon Valley to longer-term conceptions of the relationship between machinery and labor.

A step-by-step guide to transforming data into stakeholder buy-in and decisive action Driving Buy-In, by data storytelling veteran Mico Yuk-who has trained over 20,000 data professionals at Fortune 500 companies including Shell, Nestlé, and Zoom-provides a practical guide for professionals who craft data visualizations and presentations that light a fire under decision-makers. It shows how to transform insights into real-world action. Eighty-eight percent of insights never influence a decision. This book fixes that. Yuk introduces the Buy-In Method(TM), a two-pillar system for turning information into action - grounded in behavioral science and neuroscience research. Pillar 1, the Data Storytelling Framework(TM) (Discover, Define, Design, and Deliver), turns data into a story the brain is wired to respond to. Pillar 2, the Three Signs of Influence (Clarity, Buy-In, and Action), reveals in real time whether your message is landing and exactly where stakeholders are in the decision process. Rather than focusing on technical skills or visual design, this book teaches the often-overlooked skill of reading human behavior. You'll learn: <ul> <li>How to ask the right questions that uncover the real problem - move beyond vague requests and endless scope creep to get to the truth</li> <li>How to transform the way you communicate with stakeholders or executives - translate and present technical findings so anyone can understand and act on them</li> <li>How to build stories that drive action - using the same structure behind Hollywood blockbusters</li> <li>How to read any room using the Three Signs of Influence (Clarity, Buy-In, Action) - no more guessing if stakeholders will act on your insights</li> <li>Why human influence is your competitive advantage - in the AI era, anyone can generate insights, but driving stakeholder buy-in is what makes you irreplaceable</li> </ul> This book is for professionals who present data to influence stakeholders and accelerate decisions: analysts, data scientists, BI teams, product managers, consultants, AI/ML professionals, and executives. It's an expert guide in data communication for professionals who want to know exactly what works, what doesn't, and how to design and deliver presentations that will get buy-in from the people who make decisions. Go from order-taker to decision driver.
