<b>The first book to explore from an archaeological perspective the incredible and improbable history of our relationship with cats, from fearsome foe to purring pet.</b><br/><br/> Feared, revered and respected, cats have left an indelible pawprint on the histories and civilizations of humankind. In Britain a third of all households have a cat, as of 2021, some 45 million American households owned one or more cats, making them one of the most popular pets in the world. Over the last two million years, cats and people have interacted in diverse and unexpected ways, but the predecessors of your furry friend were predators, not pets.<br/><br/> Here, for the first time, the path from deadly enemy to improbable roommate is set out through an archaeological lens by Professor of Anthropology Jerry Moore. Starting with the terrifying prehistorical scimitar-toothed cat of the Pliocene and the lion drawings of the Palaeolithic Chauvet caves, Moore journeys through our complicated history with these charismatic creatures. He travels along the Nile and across the Mediterranean, sailing on to South America, exploring pet cemeteries, cat mummies and exquisite statuary across continents and centuries.<br/><br/> However, our attempts to bring cats in from the cold have not always had happy endings, as Moore explores through such famous feline fanciers as Joe Exotic, Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn. Combining incredible archaeological finds with contemporary media, <i>Cat Tales</i> surveys ancient and modern interactions between humans and cats, wild and domestic, to ask a simple but profound question: who domesticated whom?

It's about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people.<br/><br/>Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don't make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together.<br/><br/>In <i>The Psychology of Money</i>, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life's most important topics.

<b>THE INSTANT NO. 1 <i>SUNDAY TIMES </i>BESTSELLER</b><br/><b>SHORTLISTED FOR THE BRITISH BOOK AWARDS BOOK OF THE YEAR</b><br/><br/><b>'<i>Want </i>makes for addictive reading . . . compelling' <i>Guardian</i></b><br/><b>'I just loved reading it. It's exceptional' Fearne Cotton, <i>Happy Place</i></b><br/><b>'An empowering project' <i>Stylist</i></b><br/><b>'Extremely sexy . . .

And yet so many of us don't talk about it at all.<br/><br/>In this groundbreaking book, Gillian Anderson collects and introduces the anonymous sexual fantasies of women from around the world (along with her own anonymous submission). They are all extraordinary: full of desire, fear, intimacy, shame, satisfaction and, ultimately, liberation. From dreaming about someone off-limits to conjuring a scene with multiple partners, from sex that is gentle and tender to passionate and playful, from women who have never had sex to women who have had more sex than they can remember, these fantasies provide a window into the most secret part of our minds.<br/><br/><b><i>Want </i>reveals how women feel about sex when they have the freedom to be totally themselves.</b>

All marketers aim to learn from the best in their sector. But that's easier said than done. Because every brand applies hundreds of tactics to grow. How can we tell which are responsible for their success? Those with the backing of behavioral science are the best place to start - we can predict what will work because there's evidence behind them. Here, we look through the lens of behavioral science to identify approaches that played a part in taking brands to the top. Brands can be mystifyingly successful. Customers are happy to pay premium prices for things that should be free - like water; things that should be cheap - like milk; and things that would do the same job at half the price, like vacuum cleaners. Why? Looking at 21 top brands, <i>Hacking The Human Mind</i> unpacks the mystery, so you can learn from the winners.

To meet the expectations of tomorrow in today s digital, technocratic, polarized, metric-focused, and rapidly evolving business environment, leadership cannot act as it did yesterday. In an era of digitalization, we must embrace human-centered communication, as it is the prerequisite for driving progress and thriving in business. <br/><br/>Current leadership styles must change! <br/><br/>If we want to communicate effectively in an AI-driven and digitalized world, we must rebalance our mindsets to humanize the workplace and restore trust among leaders. <br/><br/>The current approach to communication must change! <br/><br/>Kind leadership is the key. Communicative leadership is an essential prerequisite. Knowing your business is the necessary foundation. <br/><br/>To make change happen, you must communicate in change for change! <br/><br/>The book you hold in your hand is about exactly that. <br/><br/>The author <b>Stefan Lorentzson</b> has been instrumental in many change-projects, leading several global teams in communications, marketing, public affairs and brand management. Born and raised in Småland, Sweden, he is a product of the small entrepreneurial spirit, but has worked his entire life in a global setting within international companies. He has lived eight years abroad. Five years in Brussels, Belgium, as the head of Volvo Group EU office, and three years in New York City, USA, as the head of Volvo Group North America Office.

The AI paradox is that we humans are the greatest AI threat, not AI itself. For half a century, humanity has been exhausting our planet's health in an accelerating way. Our self-destructive nature is aligned with and amplified by our technological tools. AI, as the ultimate tool, will be humanity's ultimate test. <br/><br/>The coming years will be the most dangerous in human history. Powerful enterprises are investing astronomical sums to win global dominance in artificial intelligence. Market forces unfortunately reward AI companies that prioritize speed over security. A wall of AI transformation is rushing closer. <br/><br/>In the short term, AI will help us become more productive. After that, jobs will start disappearing at an exponential rate, especially when AI takes robotic form and starts reprogramming itself recursively. We humans will eventually lose our relevance and economic value. <br/><br/>What happens when people who have lost their jobs to AI realize that their only way to make money is by tasking their AI to commit automated fraud and hacker attacks? What happens when one angry person asks their AI to design a pandemic or a self learning computer virus for banks and infrastructure? <br/><br/>There is still time to discuss a safe road forward. What should an AI-governed world look like? What should the balance between safety and freedom be? Can the collective existential AI threat be a uniting force? This book is a sobering, solution-oriented guide to understand the coming wave and to save humanity from ourselves.
