Bildning är en väv av kunskap som vi människor vävt tillsammans, men också många små personliga vävar av vad någons håg står till; bildning – den generella och den specifika och den personliga – tillhör den framtida bilmekanikern lika mycket som den blivande poeten.
Att svensk skola har haft en helhetssyn på eleven, med praktiska och estetiska ämnen, har tjänat oss väl. Människan är naturligt vetgirig och tänkande, men upptäcker det inte alltid – ett skolväsende kan i bästa fall förlösa bildningslängtan. Därför handlar Den spanande ugglan – bildning som motstånd om skolväsendet, även om bildning är för livet. Ingen lär ett språk, eller ett hantverk eller hela molekylärbiologin, enbart under skoltimmar.
I Den spanande ugglan sätter sexton skribenter – akademiker, lärare och debattörer – bildning och skolväsendet under kritisk lupp. Det är personligt, politiskt, poetiskt och ibland rasande. En uppgörelse men också ett försvarstal för människans nyfikenhet, intellekt och bildningslängtan.
Redaktör för antologin är Jenny Maria Nilsson, författare och journalist.

Sedan Galenskaparna och After Shave slog sina påsar ihop 1982 har de tagit den svenska underhållningsbranschen med storm. Macken, Leif och En himla många program är milstolpar i den svenska nöjeshistorien. Gruppen har skapat sin alldeles egna nisch, med en fot i det folkliga och en i det absurda.
Tillsammans med GAS-fantasten Henrik Jutbring tar sig Kalle Lind an ännu en samling svenska humorikoner, i den första boken som försöker täcka gruppens hela produktion, på fullaste skoj och allvar. Det här är en berättelse om gruppdynamik, meningsskiljaktigheter, entreprenörskap, underifrånperspektiv, underbett, stämsång, satir och en ständig strävan framåt.

A practical, research-based guide to maximizing the most overlooked driver of lasting success and fulfillment—your values.What if one simple shift could make you feel as satisfied as getting an $84,000 raise? Research shows that really understanding your core values—and living by them—can deliver just that. Yet most of us struggle with this. We go about our work and our lives with only a vague sense of the values that underpin everything we do.In What Do You Really Stand For? Columbia Business School professor Paul Ingram reveals that values are far more than a moral compass—they're a source of advantage that can boost your performance, your leadership effectiveness, and your well-being.Drawing on decades of research and the frameworks he's used with students and executives, Ingram presents a set of exercises and tools to help you articulate your values, integrate them into your work and life, build stronger relationships, and achieve better outcomes in all that you do.Whether you're navigating a career decision or managing conflict, leading a team or an entire organization, or simply trying to live with greater purpose, What Do You Really Stand For? offers a powerful guide to taking more intentional control of your life and career—and leading yourself and others with more clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Two emerge - Mother Abagail, the benevolent 108-year-old woman who urges them to build a peaceful community in Boulder, Colorado; and Randall Flagg, the 'dark man', the apostate of death, the warlord of the charnel house and Prince of Evil. Now the survivors must choose between them - and ultimately decide the fate of all humanity.'A masterpiece' GUARDIAN'His work plumbs, with unnerving accuracy, the hopes and fears of an entire nation' OBSERVER

Completed before he died, thirty years ago, this is the newly discovered autobiography of one of the most influential comedians of recent times, Marty Feldman. Marty Feldman was one of the most essential creative forces in British comedy embodied also by his close friends and creative partners from Beyond the Fringe (especially Peter Cook and Dudley Moore) and Monty Python (especially John Cleese, Graham Chapman and Eric Idle).Marty played the fool, often very happily and with tremendous talent and volcanic, anarchic energy, for his entire life. Marty finished, and set aside eYE Marty soon before travelling to Mexico to shoot his final film. He did not know that he would die there, although he certainly felt he might die soon, and was haunted by the notion. The book is exactly as Feldman wrote it, with even the photos inserted where Feldman had noted they should go. Hilarious, deeply charming, aphoristic, ironic, charged throughout with lust for life and filled with scenes of great vanished eras and and portraits of other performers and friends, eYE Marty is the amazing discovery of the story of a man who was at the heart of the British comedy revolution.

Humanity’s Last Stand
The Challenge of Artificial Intelligence - A Spiritual-Scientific Response
Häftad, Engelska, 2018
238 kr
Skickas
Although still in its earliest stages, artificial intelligence (AI) is radically transforming all aspects of society. With the immanent emergence of Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) and the illusory temptations of `transhumanism’, mankind stands at a crossroads. In Humanity’s Last Stand, Nicanor Perlas makes an urgent plea. It is imperative, he says, that we take immediate steps to ensure that digitized technology is aligned to human values and priorities. Otherwise, ASI will kill the essence of our humanity. Further, if we do not master it now, ASI will transform mankind into its own image. Ultimately, it will destroy the human race. AI experts have not offered a single cogent solution to this existential threat. Rudolf Steiner, however, not only foresaw these developments, but gave clear alternatives. Steiner, the founder of a contemporary, scientific approach to spirituality, provided philosophical, ontological and social innovations to save humanity from the abyss. It is the task of the global anthroposophical movement to pioneer this civilization-saving work: to establish spiritual-scientific ideas in mainstream culture that would allow AI to emerge in a healthier societal context.Perlas gives an overview of the phenomenon of AI, together with its related transhuman concepts of `perfecting humanity’, and outlines the critical internal and external responses required to meet them with consciousness. In particular, he addresses the movement connected to the work of Rudolf Steiner, indicating its all-important tasks: to cooperate with progressive individuals and movements, including scientists and civil society activists; to mobilize its `daughter’ movements for action; and, ultimately, to cooperate with the spiritual powers that have guided and served humanity since the dawn of time. This, says the author, is humanity’s last stand, and failure is not an option.

*A memoir and self-help manual by one of the country's most treasured comedians - for anyone who feels stuck in a rut but doesn't have the tools or self-belief to shake things up*In his mid-twenties, Jimmy was bored, boring, unfulfilled and underachieving. He wasn't exactly depressed, but he was very sad. Think of a baby owl whose mum has recently died in a windmill accident. He was that sad. This book tells the story of how Jimmy turned it around and got happy, through the redemptive power of dick jokes.Written to take advantage of the brief window between the end of lockdown and Jimmy getting cancelled for saying something unforgivable to Lorraine Kelly, this book is as timely as it is unnecessary. Because you might be interested in Jimmy's life but he's damn sure you're a lot more interested in your own, Before & Laughter is about both of you. But mainly him. It tells the story of Jimmy's life - the transformation from white-collar corporate drone to fake-toothed donkey-laugh plastic-haired comedy mannequin - while also explaining how to turn your own life around and become the you you've always dreamt of being. At just £20, it's cheaper than Scientology, quicker than therapy, and significantly less boring than church.Before & Laughter contains the answers to all the big questions in life, questions like:· What's the secret to happiness?· Is Jimmy wearing a wig?· What happened with that tax thing?· What's the meaning of life?· Is Jimmy's laugh real?· Can those teeth bite through vibranium?And for readers in the West Country: yes, there are pictures (actually, sorry, there are no pictures, but there's a book about a hungry caterpillar you'll love).Because it's Jimmy Carr - recently scientifically proved to be the funniest comedian in the UK - there are jokes, jokes and more jokes throughout. If laughter really was the best medicine, the NHS would be handing out this book in Nightingale Hospitals.Fascinating, thoughtful and insightful - are all words that appear in the book.

By 1943, the war was lost, and most German officers knew it. Three quarters of a century later, the question persists: What kept the German army going in an increasingly hopeless situation? Where some historians have found explanations in the power of Hitler or the role of ideology, Robert M. Citino, the world’s leading scholar on the subject, posits a more straightforward solution: Bewegungskrieg, the way of war cultivated by the Germans over the course of history. In this gripping account of German military campaigns during the final phase of World War II, Citino charts the inevitable path by which Bewegungskrieg, or a “war of movement,” inexorably led to Nazi Germany’s defeat.The Wehrmacht’s Last Stand analyzes the German Totenritt, or “death ride,” from January 1944—with simultaneous Allied offensives at Anzio and Ukraine—until May 1945, the collapse of the Wehrmacht in the field, and the Soviet storming of Berlin. In clear and compelling prose, and bringing extensive reading of the German-language literature to bear, Citino focuses on the German view of these campaigns. Often very different from the Allied perspective, this approach allows for a more nuanced and far-reaching understanding of the last battles of the Wehrmacht than any now available. With Citino’s previous volumes, Death of the Wehrmacht and The Wehrmacht Retreats, The Wehrmacht’s Last Stand completes a uniquely comprehensive picture of the German army’s strategy, operations, and performance against the Allies in World War II.

Aha!' THE TIMES'This is a deeply silly book. It's also glorious...[with] proper belly laughs on pretty much every page' i NEWS'Every sentence screams pure Partridge...a spoof that comes close to comic genius' DAILY EXPRESS'Expect plenty of laughs' HEAT'Not only has Alan Partridge created an entirely new storytelling structure, it's very funny indeed' JON RONSON In Big Beacon, Norwich's favourite son and best broadcaster, Alan Partridge, triumphs against the odds. TWICE.Using an innovative 'dual narrative' structure you sometimes see in films, Big Beacon tells the story of how Partridge heroically rebuilt his TV career, rising like a phoenix from the desolate wasteland of local radio to climb to the summit of Mount Primetime and regain the nationwide prominence his talent merits. But then something quite unexpected and moving, because Big Beacon also tells the story of a selfless man, driven to restore an old lighthouse to its former glory, motivated by nothing more than respect for a quietly heroic old building that many take for granted, which some people think is a metaphor for Alan himself even though it's not really for them to say.* Leaving his old life behind and relocating to a small coastal village in Kent, Alan battles through adversity, wins the hearts and minds of a suspicious community, and ultimately shows himself to be a quite wonderful man. * The two strands will run in tandem, their narrative arcs mirroring each other to make the parallels between the two stories abundantly clear to the less able reader.

How did a child brought up in a strict Methodist household – and who spent his formative years incarcerated in repressive boarding schools – end up joining the revolution?With wisdom, nostalgia and uniquely observed humour, Ade traces his journey through life and comedy: starting out on the alternative scene, getting arrested in Soho, creating outrageously violent characters and learning more about his curious (possibly Scandinavian) heritage. With star-studded anecdotes and set to a soundtrack of pop hits which transport the reader through time, it’s a memoir like no other.Nominated for Radio Times Moment of the Year for sharing his memories of Rik Mayall on Desert Island Discs.'The Berserker from The Young Ones and Bottom tells his story with self-effacing charm and no end of backstage anecdotes' – Ian Rankin, author of the Inspector Rebus series'Gloriously candid and wise all at once' – Sara Pascoe, comedian and author of Weirdo'It is incredibly funny, but it is also a lot, lot more than that' – Miles Jupp, comedian and author of History‘More fun than reading Hegel, and also more enlightening’ – Louis de Bernières, author of Captain Corelli's Mandolin

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER'The funniest book ever written about wanting to drink yourself to death' Lou Sanders'Insightful and intelligent. Harrowing but hopeful. And, as always, hilarious' Adrian Chiles'A triumph, and as powerful a description of alcoholism as I've read' Bryony Gordon___________________John Robins is a critically acclaimed stand-up comedian, Taskmaster champion and award-winning broadcaster. He is also an alcoholic. But what does that mean? In Thirst, John tells the story of his life through the lens of alcohol, the drinks that made him, and those that broke him. From his earliest drinking experiences – pretending to be drunk aged five, spraying aftershave into his mouth at a school play afterparty, and drinking red wine alone at university – to his last drink in 2022, he traces his journey into sobriety. From hazy memory to sudden clarity, John reflects on mental health, friendship, creativity and the lies we tell ourselves. He asks: are alcoholics born or made? How do we understand youthful missteps? And can Buddhism provide relief when dealing with haemorrhoids? Filled with insights and epiphanies from the world of addiction and recovery, Thirst blends John’s trademark honesty and hilarious digressions with the collective wisdom of alcoholics to offer a compelling, powerful and morbidly funny narrative for anyone who has ever asked 'why do we drink?', 'why do I drink?' or 'do I drink too much?'. ___________________'The most honest, helpful and perceptive book I've ever read about alcohol, and also the funniest' Josh Widdicombe'A rigorous and courageous look at the making and unmaking of an alcoholic that also often made me laugh aloud' Amy Liptrot'He has laid himself bare in a way that is sure to help others' Alan Davies
