The Sunday Times Top Ten Bestseller '[The book that] made headlines around the world.' Independent He has lived his whole life in the public eye, yet he remains an enigma. He was born to be king, but he aims much higher. A landmark publication, Charles: The Heart of a King reveals Prince Charles in all his complexity: the passionate views that mean he will never be as remote and impartial as his mother; the compulsion to make a difference and the many and startling ways in which the heir to the throne of the United Kingdom and fifteen other realms has already made his mark. The book offers fresh and fascinating insights into the first marriage that did so much to define him and an assessment of his relationship with the woman he calls, with unintended accuracy, his 'dearest wife': Camilla. We see Charles as a father and a friend, a serious figure and a joker. Life at court turns out to be full of hidden dangers and unexpected comedy. Poignant, funny and often surpris...

An approach to reinvigorating economic competition that doesn't break up corporate giants, but compels them to share their technology, data, and knowledge "Bessen is a master of unpacking the nuances of a complex array of interrelated trends to build a coherent story of how the promise of the democratized Internet ended up under the control of just a few. Read The New Goliaths to see how the forest came to have only room for a few tall trees with the rest of us in the undergrowth."-Joshua Gans, coauthor of Prediction Machines: The Simple Economics of Artificial Intelligence Historically, competition has powered progress under capitalism. Companies with productive new products rise to the top, but sooner or later, competitors come along with better innovations and disrupt the threat of monopoly. Dominant firms like Walmart, Amazon, and Google argue that this process of "creative destruction" prevents them from becoming too powerful or entrenched. But the threat o...

'A must-read for everyone who cares about driving customer engagement' Eric Ries, author of The Lean Startup 'The most high bandwidth, high octane, and valuable presentation I have ever seen on this subject' Rory Sutherland, vice chairman, Ogilvy & Mather Nir Eyal reveals how successful companies create products people can't put down - and how you can too Why do some products capture our attention while others flop? What makes us engage with certain things out of sheer habit? Is there an underlying pattern to how technologies hook us? Nir Eyal answers these questions (and many more) with the Hook Model - a four-step process that, when embedded into products, subtly encourages customer behaviour. Through consecutive "hook cycles," these products bring people back again and again without depending on costly advertising or aggressive messaging. Hooked is based on Eyal's years of research, consulting, and practical experience. He wrote the book he...

Si hay algo que les preocupa a los padres es su alimentación de sus hijos. ¿Necesitan los bebés de 6 meses que un adulto les dé de comer a la boca? ¿Y comer los alimentos triturados? ¿Se les debe dar a comer a demanda? Estas reflexiones son las que han conducido al estudio del enfoque de introducción de la alimentación complementaria conocido como Baby-Led Weaning o alimentación autorregulada o dirigida por el bebé, donde se promueve que desde el inicio de la incoporación de los alimentos, sea el propio bebé el que coma por sí solo la misma comida que el resto de la familia con pequeñas adaptaciones y sentado a la mesa como un miembro más. Este enfoque puede tener potenciales beneficios para el bebé y está siendo objeto de numerosos estudios, entre otros objetivos, como herramienta que ayude en la prevención de la obesidad. Este sistema de alimentación, que ya es muy popular en países como Reino Unido, está ganando adeptos por todo el mundo. Sin embargo, la mayoría de los profesionale...

One Scottish Vampire...One Sassy Shifter...One common goal...With an avian Shifter for a father, Harrier's position among the Vampire elite was doomed from birth. When he joined the Legion in Fallen Cross, he felt he'd finally found, if not a home, at least someplace he could relax. His peaceful existence evaporated the day he met Kitty. Now, feelings he buried centuries ago have resurfaced, all because a little cat Shifter with bad table manners was too curious for her own good. Kythryn Flannigan is all about the shock value, using sarcasm and wit to smother the sorrow and pain that have followed her most of her adult life. From the moment the Vampire, Harrier, "abducted" her from the shadows last winter, she was one smitten kitten. Underneath his grumpy demeanor and giant-redwood proportions she sensed a male who, if nothing else, would make her toes curl. Now, a threat from their past has resurfaced, and the apparent end-game is to see her dead. With Harrier as he...

Living with the Royal Academy: Artistic Ideals and Experiences in England, 1768-1848 offers a range of case studies which consider individual artists' personal, professional and artistic relationships with the Royal Academy during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, bringing together the research of leading historians of British artistic culture during this period. Over its introduction and nine essays, this collection considers the Academy as a lived organism whose most effective role, following its establishment in 1768, was as a reference point towards, around and against which artists operated in their relationships with each other and with artistic practice itself. In so doing, this collection also considers the relationship between Academic ideals and individual practice (as well as lived experience) during this period of art's increasingly public manifestation at the Academy. Individual artists examined include Joshua Reynolds, Joseph Wright of Derby, Be...

Artists, architects, art historians, critics, and curators explore the work of Donald Judd as both artist and critic in essays spanning all of Judd's career. Donald Judd (1928-1994) is one of the most influential American artists of the postwar era. Beginning in the 1960s, he developed new ideas about art--in both his works and writings--that challenged many of modernism's core tenets by resisting the categories of painting and sculpture. Judd described this work as specific objects. Critics labeled it minimalism. Perhaps because Judd's own critical writings provide a discursive framework for his work, some of the monographic essays on his work are not widely known. This volume collects critical and scholarly writings on Judd, examining his work as both artist and critic. Product details Format ...

This volume of the second edition of the Cambridge Ancient History traces the history of Rome from its origins to the eve of the Second Punic War. Although the period covered is essentially the same as in the undivided Volume VII of the first edition, the treatment of the material is completely fresh and is much more extensive. Account is taken of new scholarly insights and of the considerable amount of new evidence, much of it archaeological, which has become available since the first edition was published. After a survey of the sources of our information the origins of Rome are discussed, beginning with the first discernible traces of the bronze Age settlement and going on to an assessment of the regal period. The complex and often controversial history of the early Republic is examined with reference to its internal development, the evolution of its relationships with the Latins, and the remorseless, if occasionally erratic, advance of Roman power in parts of Italy less immediately ...

In our modern world of smartphones, video games, wifi hotspots, and Netflix, it's hard to imagine that, less than eighty years ago, there were people in rural Arkansas who were still scratching a living off the land. What makes this book so very special and historically relevant is simple - This book was not written by some college professor who, with clinical indifference, made an extensive study into a bygone era and then wrote down his cold musings on life in those days. Instead, the author of this book relates his own experiences with humble honesty and wit-filled humor. His fond childhood recollections are framed by the wisdom of many years as he relates what life was like for himself and his family during the 1940's. Product details Format Hardback ...

The trust was a popular device among the Victorian middle classes to preserve their private property for the benefit of their families. At the centre of this legal institution was the trustee, whose duty it was to manage the property as the original owner wished. In their task of managing the property, Victorian trustees found themselves in a society which was changing rapidly and extensively, a new commercial and dynamic society which had a profound effect on their ability to carry out their duties. This book explores the legal response to the challenges faced by trustees, and does so through the varied relationships which trustees necessarily experienced in the course of their administration. A consideration of the legal dimension to trusteeship, this book sets the trustee in his legal, social and economic context. It will be of interest to legal historians, as well as to historians of nineteenth-century Britain. Product details ...
