A Brief History of Entrepreneurship charts how the pursuit of profit by private individuals has been a prime mover in revolutionizing civilization. Entrepreneurs often butt up against processes, technologies, social conventions, and even laws. So they circumvent, innovate, and violate to obtain what they want. This creative destruction has brought about overland and overseas trade, colonization, and a host of revolutionary technologies—from caffeinated beverages to the personal computer—that have transformed society. Consulting rich archival sources, including some that have never before been translated, Carlen maps the course of human history through nine episodes when entrepreneurship ...
Whether we need to make better financial choices, find the love of our life, or transform our career, crowdsourcing is the key to making quicker, wiser, more objective decisions. But few of us even come close to tapping the full potential of our online personal networks. Lior Zoref offers proven guidelines for applying what he calls "mind sharing" in new ways. For instance, he shows how a mother's Facebook update saved the life of a four-year-old boy, and how a manager used LinkedIn to create a year's worth of market research in less than a day. Zoref's clients are using his techniques to innovate and problem-solve in record time. Now he reveals how crowdsourcing has the ability to supercharge our thinking and upgrade every aspect of our lives.

Como seria se o projeto de modernização no ensino envolvesse, além dos recursos e competências exigidas no mundo tecnológico, aspectos da humanização: sentir, experimentar, criar, descobrir, envolver e se autoconhecer? Transformar o modelo atual de educação deveria ser a base do pensar dos dirigentes de escolas e educadores, mas em algum tempo remoto a chave não virou. O processo de ensino estagnou, e os alunos continuam sendo preparados para um mundo que não existe mais. No livro A educação no divã, as autoras Graziela Merlina e Rosana Costa propõem um questionamento sobre o que se tem por consolidado e estimulam a sociedade a diferentes formas de pensar – literalmente, apertando o botão que dói. A escola não tem como gerar a transformação de mentalidade sozinha. Os pais, centrados em suas próprias necessidades e preocupações, não têm percebido os pedidos de socorro de seus filhos. Como as duas instituições – família e escola – podem, então, atuar em um mesmo propósito para ajudar a juventude a se conhecer, se respeitar e se projetar com nível elevado de autoconsciência na construção de uma sociedade saudável?
A critical discussion of the experience and theory of flow (as conceptualized by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi) in video games. Flow--as conceptualized by the psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi--describes an experience of "being in the zone," of intense absorption in an activity. It is a central concept in the study of video games, although often applied somewhat uncritically. In Against Flow, Braxton Soderman takes a step back and offers a critical assessment of flow's historical, theoretical, political, and ideological contexts in relation to video games. With close readings of games that implement and represent flow, Soderman not only evaluates the concept of flow in terms of video games but also presents a general critique of flow and its sibling, play.
