Featuring contributions from an international array of futurists, The Future Starts Now provides fascinating insights and guidance into how society and business will transform in the years to come • The future is an uncertain, uncomfortable prospect for employees, employers and society at large. A flurry of unprecedented events have proven that, despite what some politicians and economists may tell us, the future is not set in stone. Instead, it is constantly being shaped and redefined by the everyday decisions of individuals and organizations • In light of this uncertainty, The Future Starts Now looks toward the various innovations and technologies that may shape our future. Authors Theo Priestley and Bronwyn Williams have brought together the world's leading futurists to articulate and clarify the current trajectories in technology, economics, politics and business

In The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage Sydney Padua transforms one of the most compelling scientific collaborations into a hilarious set of adventures • Meet two of Victorian London's greatest geniuses... Ada Lovelace, daughter of Lord Byron: mathematician, gambler, and proto-programmer, whose writings contained the first ever appearance of general computing theory, a hundred years before an actual computer was built. And Charles Babbage, eccentric inventor of the Difference Engine, an enormous clockwork calculating machine that would have been the first computer, if he had ever finished it • But what if things had been different? The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage presents a delightful alternate reality in which Lovelace and Babbage do build the Difference Engine and use it to create runaway economic models, battle the scourge of spelling errors, explore the wider realms of mathematics and, of course, fight crime - for the sake of both London and science

The wall. Sooner or later we all hit it. The wall can be anything. It could be your lack of motivation, it could be your fear of leaving your comfort zone, it could be the aimlessness that comes from not having set yourself the right goals, it could be that you spend too much time with people who undermine you • What all these things have in common is that they’re holding you back. They’re the things that are stopping you from reaching your true potential, from getting the most you can out of your life • In this straight-talking inspirational book, Ant Middleton identifies twenty obstacles that are standing in our way, and offers common-sense, practical solutions to each of them. He shows the reader how they too can break through that wall and start becoming the best version of themselves

When did you last feel exhilarated and lighthearted? • When were you last engaged, focused and completely present? • When is the last time you felt fully alive? • In other words, when did you last have fun? • In our always-on, tech-addicted lifestyles, we often think of the pursuit of fun as an indulgence. When we do find time to relax, we often turn to activities that are not actually that enjoyable, let alone fun: bingeing on television and movies, doomscrolling the news, or feeding our FOMO on social media • But award-winning science journalist Catherine Price has learned the truth: far from being frivolous, fun is the key to living a more meaningful, fulfilling and happier life. If you make fun a priority, you will be healthier and have more energy

Быть Гарри Поттером всегда было трудно, и не намного легче сейчас, когда он перегруженный работой сотрудник Министерства магии, муж и отец троих детей школьного возраста • В то время как Гарри борется с прошлым, которое отказывается оставаться там, где ему положено быть, его младший сын Альбус должен бороться с грузом семейного наследия, которого он никогда не хотел. По мере того как прошлое и настоящее зловеще сливаются воедино, и отец, и сын узнают неприятную правду: иногда тьма приходит из неожиданных мест • Сценарий к "Гарри Поттеру и проклятому ребенку" первоначально был выпущен как "специальное репетиционное издание" одновременно с премьерой пьесы Джека Торна в лондонском Вест-Энде летом 2016 года. Основанная на оригинальной истории Джоан Роулинг, Джона Тиффани и Джека Торна, пьеса получила восторженные отзывы как от театралов, так и от критиков, а официальный сценарий пьесы сразу же стал мировым бестселлером
