The Facts and the Solutions
Greta Thunberg - 2023-02-14 (publicado por primera vez en 2022)
Calificación de Goodreads
We still have time to change the world. From Greta Thunberg, the world's leading climate activist, comes the essential handbook for making it happen. You might think it's an impossible task: secure a safe future for life on Earth, at a scale and speed never seen, against all the odds. There is hope - but only if we listen to the science before it's too late. In The Climate Book, Greta Thunberg has gathered the wisdom of over one hundred experts - geophysicists, oceanographers and meteorologists; engineers, economists and mathematicians; historians, philosophers and indigenous leaders - to equip us all with the knowledge we need to combat climate disaster. Alongside them, she shares her own stories of demonstrating and uncovering greenwashing around the world, revealing how much we have been kept in the dark. This is one of our biggest challenges, she shows, but also our greatest source of hope. Once we are given the full picture, how can we not act? And if a schoolchild's strike could ignite a global protest, what could we do collectively if we tried? We are alive at the most decisive time in the history of humanity. Together, we can do the seemingly impossible. But it has to be us, and it has to be now.

This book is vital for our understanding of the climate crisis and to become aware. Everyone who goes on Question Time should buy a copy so they dont say stupendously ignorant things about it being merely "the weather"      fuente

Jews Don’t Count
David Baddiel - 2021-04-20
Calificación de Goodreads
This compelling book tackles an often-overlooked topic: the history of anti-Semitism. Comedian and writer David Baddiel argues that those fighting against racism, homophobia, transphobia, and disablism have missed an important subject. In this thought-provoking read, Baddiel presents his case with a unique combination of jokes, personal experience, and reasoning. Discover why, in a world focused on minority rights, Jews don’t count as a real minority.

Such an interesting book by @Baddiel called 'Jews Don't Count. ' So good I've asked him to come on the show and talk about the 'hierarchy of racism' and not the "Jewish space laser". @bbc5live      fuente

The Surprising Truth About Success
Matthew Syed - 2015-11-03
Calificación de Goodreads
¿Qué tiene en común el equipo Mercedes de Fórmula Uno y Google?¿Cuál es la conexión entre el equipo Sky de ciclismo y la industria aeronáutica?¿En que se parecen el inventor James Dyson y el jugador de baloncesto Michael Jordan? La respuesta es que todos ellos son pensadores “caja negra”. La caja negra de los aviones sirve para registrar los errores y aprender de ellos para no repetirlos. Gracias a ello la industria aeronáutica ha evolucionado a unos niveles de seguridad inigualables en otros sectores. Los pensadores caja negra saben que la única forma de aprender es a través de registrar y saber qué es lo que se ha hecho mal. Pero no se trata simplemente del cliché de “aprende de tus fracasos”, sino de tener una metodología para percibirlos, entenderlos y sacar de ellos las enseñanzas imprescindibles para que no se vuelvan a repetir. Las historias reales que el autor cuenta sobre la utilización de estos sistemas o la falta de utilización de ellos, hacen que este sea un libro no sólo enormemente práctico y útil, sino fascinante de leer.
