Whether attending a meeting, sharing a post online, or mustering the nerve to ask for a favor, we often assume our actions, input, and requests will be overlooked or rejected. Weaving together compelling stories with cutting edge science, Bohns answers the questions we all want to know (but may be afraid to ask): How much did she take to heart what I said earlier? Do they know they can push back on my suggestions? Did he notice whether I was there today? Will they agree to help me if I ask? ![]() In You Have More Influence Than You Think social psychologist Vanessa Bohns draws from her original research to illustrate why we fail to recognize the influence we have, and how that lack of awareness can lead us to miss opportunities or accidentally misuse our power. Those feelings may instead have been the result of a lack of awareness we all seem to have for how our words, actions, and even our mere presence affect other people. If you’ve ever felt ineffective, invisible, or inarticulate, chances are you weren’t actually any of those things. An original investigation of our hidden power to persuade, and how to wield it wisely. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Heyerdahl believed that people from South America could have settled Polynesia in pre-Columbian times. The raft was named Kon-Tiki after the Incasun god, Viracocha, for whom "Kon-Tiki" was said to be an old name. Kon-Tiki is also the name of Heyerdahl's book the Academy Award-winning documentary film chronicling his adventures and the 2012 dramatised feature film nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. The Kon-Tiki expedition was a 1947 journey by raft across the Pacific Ocean from South America to the Polynesian islands, led by Norwegian explorer and writer Thor Heyerdahl.

In this New York Times bestseller, award-winning author Simon Schama presents an ebullient country, vital and inventive, infatuated with novelty and technologya strikingly fresh view of Louis XVIs France. Schama's startling revisionist synthesis is enriched by over 200 illustrations bringing popular arts and revolutionary fervor to life. ![]() ![]() If Schama ( The Embarrassment of Riches ) is correct, the fiscal havoc of Louis XVI's regime did not have revolution as its inevitable outcome, but a cult of violence, endorsed by romanticism, became the engine of historical change in a country gripped by paranoia. The privileged classes, he argues, were open to new blood, and a ``capitalist nobility'' deeply involved in industrial enterprise supported technological innovation. His contention is that the Revolution did not produce a ``patriotic culture of citizenship'' but was preceded by one. One of the great landmarks of modern history publishing, Simon Schamas Citizens: A Chronicle of the French Revolution is the most authoritative social, cultural and narrative history of the French Revolution ever produced. The Old Regime, far from being moribund on the eve of the French Revolution, bristled with signs of dynamism and energy, writes Schama in this sprawling, provocative, sometimes infuriating chronicle that stands much conventional wisdom on its head. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He's aided by the fact that his chosen industries threw up a cast of memorable, charismatic and ruthless characters: Theodore Vail, for example, the genius who created the AT&T monster David Sarnoff, who ran RCA and NBC and dictated the pace at which radio technology developed and Adolph Zukor, who created Paramount and showed what could be done when a movie corporation controls not just its stars but also its distribution outlets. These are great stories, and Wu tells them expertly. After that comes movies and the tale of how a freewheeling, chaotic and creative industry was cornered by a cartel of vertically integrated corporations which for decades channelled all cinematic creativity through a set of narrow apertures. Then there's the story of broadcast radio, a promising medium captured by RCA and NBC with the connivance of the FCC. Running through it like a strand of DNA is the story of how the Bell telephone company morphed into AT&T, one of the most fearsome monopolies in history – which was eventually broken up by the Federal Communications Commission, but has now effectively reconstituted itself. ![]() In order to establish his thesis, Wu embarks on an ambitious history of the communications industries in the 20th century. ![]() |
