The First 50 Years

Skickas

This book lavishly illustrates the first 50 years of Apple’s history through stunning, full-color photographs.Instant New York Times BestsellerIn time for Apple’s 50th anniversary, CBS Sunday Morning correspondent David Pogue tells the iconic company’s entire life story: how it was born, nearly died, was born again under Steve Jobs, and became, under CEO Tim Cook, the most valuable company in the world. The book features new facts that correct the record and illuminate its subversive culture and fresh interviews with the legendary figures who shaped Apple into what it is today.On April 1, 1976, two scruffy twentysomethings, both named Steve, founded a startup. Their goal: To bring the revolutionary power of computers to everyone.Over the next five decades, Apple reshaped the technology and cultural landscapes, introducing the public to breakthroughs like the mouse, laser printing, CD-ROM, WiFi, digital video, home networking, touchscreen phones, and tablets. Jobs’s obsessive eye for detail set the stage for products—Mac, iMac, iPod, iTunes, iPhone, iPad, AirPods, Apple Watch—that married advanced technology with beauty, simplicity, and fine design.Deeply researched and lavishly illustrated, Apple: The First 50 Years includes new interviews with 150 key people who made the journey, including Steve Wozniak, John Sculley, Jony Ive, and many current designers, engineers, and executives. The book busts long-held myths; goes backstage for both the titanic successes (450 million iPods, 700 million iPads, 2.2 billion iPhones) and the instructive failures (Lisa, Apple III, MobileMe); and assesses the forces that challenge Apple’s dominance as it enters its second half century.Bursting with tales of frenetic all-nighters, engineering genius, and creative rebellion, this book is a true testament to Apple’s unique and innovative vision, and a must read for anyone whose life Apple has touched.

AvStefan Lampinen

Inbunden, Svenska, 2026

Under fyra decennier har jag haft förmånen att arbeta med några av världens mest ikoniska varumärken inom spel och film. Jag vill ge er en inblick i brädspelens glädje och videospelens evolution, genom försäljnings- och marknadsstrategier, teknikskiften och personliga upplevelser. Den handlar om spelens utveckling, människor som jag jobbat med, olika kulturer och beslut som jag fattat. Välkommen in bakom kulisserna i spelvärlden. Det här är min berättelse. Stefan Lampinen

Stefan Lampinen har jobbat med spel i över fyrtio år. Med start i Luleå och egen brädspelsbutik, vidare till Stockholm och rollspel, befann han sig snart mitt i händelsernas centrum i samband med BRIO:s lansering av SEGA i Norden. Det här var en tid då TV-spelmarknaden växte i rekordfart.

Efter att ha byggt upp Electronic Arts nordiska verksamhet tog han klivet ut i Europa i tunga chefspositioner som Vice President of European Sales och senare VD för affärsområdet Centraleurope med bas i Tyskland.

Karriären gick vidare till Microsoft, först i den intensiva Europalanseringen av Xbox 360 och därefter i rollen som VD för Emerging Markets. Sedan rekryterades han till Warner Bros. där han ledde transformationen in i den digitala eran. Genom dessa nyckelroller var Stefan en tongivande pionjär bakom det som idag är det svenska spelundret. Idag verkar Stefan som rådgivare inom spel och media. Här delar han med sig av sitt perspektiv på spelbranschens utveckling – från pionjärandan 1982 – till den mogna industri vi ser idag. Från hobbyprogrammerare till Det Svenska Spelundret. Från utskälld barnafiende till erkänd kulturyttring.

*** THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER *** * WINNER OF THE SABEW BEST IN BUSINESS BOOK AWARDS 2025 FOR BUSINESS REPORTING * ‘Absolutely riveting’ Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads‘Disturbing and enlightening’ Chris Miller, author of Chip War‘Hugely important’ Rana Foroohar, author of Makers and Takers‘A once-in-a-generation read’ Robert D. Kaplan, author of Waste LandAs Trump wages a tariff war with China, seeking to boost domestic electronics manufacturing, this book offers an unparalleled insight into why his strategy is embarrassingly naïve.Apple isn’t just a brand; it’s the world’s most valuable company and creator of the 21st century’s defining product. The iPhone has revolutionized the way we live, work and connect. But Apple is now a victim of its own success, caught in the middle of a new Cold War between two superpowers.On the brink of bankruptcy in 1996, Apple adopted an outsourcing strategy. By 2003 it was lured to China by the promise of affordable, ubiquitous labour. As the iPod and iPhone transformed Apple’s fortunes, their sophisticated production played a seminal role in financing, training, supervising and supplying Chinese manufacturers – skills Beijing is now weaponizing against the West.Investigative journalist Patrick McGee draws on 200 interviews with former Apple executives and engineers to reveal how Cupertino’s choice to anchor its supply chain in China has increasingly made it vulnerable to the regime’s whims. Both an insider’s historical account and a cautionary tale, Apple in China is the first history of Apple to go beyond the biographies of its top executives and set the iPhone’s global domination within an increasingly fraught geopolitical context.

How to Sell a Genocide

The Media's Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza

AvAdam H. Johnson

Häftad, Engelska, 2026

157 kr

Skickas inom 7-10 vardagar

As bombs rained down on Gaza in October 2023, images of mass death and destruction gripped the world, and openly genocidal statements from Israeli leaders foretold the magnitude of horrors to come. But the US media was quick to downplay, obscure, and repackage an emerging campaign of extermination into a slick “war on terror” framework. How to Sell a Genocide is a thorough indictment of US corporate media's role in enabling—and, at times, directly inciting—one of the most devastating campaigns of mass killing in modern memory. Johnson unpacks how major news outlets like The New York Times, CNN, and MSNBC systematically sanitized Israel's war crimes, hid the US’s central role, and dehumanized the Palestinian people.Drawing from deep, original data-driven analysis, Johnson dissects the mechanics of propaganda, from the selective empathy, strategic omissions, overt racism and repetition of state-sanctioned falsehoods, to the demonization of humanitarian workers and dishonest coverage of campus protests. With clarity and moral force, Johnson argues that the genocide could not have been sustained without the active, sustained complicity of the US media.All royalties from the book will be donated to the Middle East Children's Alliance.

The hidden costs of artificial intelligence—from natural resources and labor to privacy, equality, and freedom “This study argues that [artificial intelligence] is neither artificial nor particularly intelligent. . . . A fascinating history of the data on which machine-learning systems are trained.”—New Yorker “A valuable corrective to much of the hype surrounding AI and a useful instruction manual for the future.”—John Thornhill, Financial Times “It’s a masterpiece, and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it.”—Karen Hao, senior editor, MIT Tech Review What happens when artificial intelligence saturates political life and depletes the planet? How is AI shaping our understanding of ourselves and our societies? Drawing on more than a decade of research, award‑winning scholar Kate Crawford reveals how AI is a technology of extraction: from the minerals drawn from the earth to the labor pulled from low-wage information workers to the data taken from every action and expression. Crawford reveals how this planetary network is fueling a shift toward undemocratic governance and increased inequity. Rather than taking a narrow focus on code and algorithms, Crawford offers us a material and political perspective on what it takes to make AI and how it centralizes power. This is an urgent account of what is at stake as technology companies use artificial intelligence to reshape the world.

Birdnest records startade 1983 under namnet BIRDSKIT RECORDS i mitt pojkrum. Lagret fanns länge under min säng. Med tiden växte både bolaget och visionerna och namnet ändrades till BIRDNEST RECORDS och blev under 90-talet ett av sveriges största skivbolag i punkgenren. Vi vill med denna bok berätta om bolaget som på många sätt förändrade inte bara mitt liv utan även en massa andra människors, mitt i det stora och andras lite mer i det lilla. Det är också en historia om hur musikindustrin genomgick inte bara en utan två stora förändringar. Först med CD-formatets intåg och sedan med hur vi idag streamar musik online. Bolaget finns i allra högsta grad även om vi idag inte gör lika mycket väsen av oss. Vi har därför valt att kalla projektet "Boken om BIRDNEST RECORDS från 1982 till framtiden". / Per Granberg 2024

Förmedling av mönsterförlagor för stickning och virkning : medierna, marknaden och målgruppen i Sverige vid 1800-talets mitt

AvHanna Bäckström

Skickas

På 1840-talet gavs de första manualerna för stickning och virkning ut på svenska. I små häften med färgglada pappersomslag förmedlades mönster och instruktioner för att tillverka diverse dekorativa föremål, som börsar i silke eller färgglatt ullgarn dekorerade med pärlor, eller kragar, barnkläder och spetsar i tunt vitt bomullsgarn. I manualernas förord lyfts stickning och virkning fram som de vackraste av alla fruntimmershandarbeten, såväl till nytta som till nöje för den trendmedvetna och flitiga medel- och överklasskvinnan. Vid 1850-talets mitt minskar utgivningen av manualer för stickning och virkning, och mönster för allehanda textila handarbeten blir istället ett regelbundet inslag i modejournaler. På stora planscher i tunt papper trängs mönsterritningar med tillskärningsmönster och bilder på det senaste klädmodet. Skillnader mellan dessa publiceringssätt väcker frågor kring hur förmedlingen av mönster och instruktioner för stickning och virkning förändrades över tid, och vad dessa förändringar innebar för utövandet av dessa handarbeten.

Hanna Bäckström undersöker hur mönsterförlagor och instruktioner för stickning och virkning utformades och spreds i tryckta publikationer under 1800-talets mitt, en period när nya publikationsgenrer introduceras på den svenska marknaden. Förutom att ge en detaljerad bild av de första mönster för stickning och virkning som gavs ut på svenska görs jämförelser med liknande publikationer i Tyskland och Storbritannien, och en stor mängd manualer som inte uppmärksammats inom tidigare forskning belyses och sätts in i en kulturhistorisk och mediehistorisk kontext.

'One of the best business books I've read in years.' BILL GATESTHE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERA SUNDAY TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR_____________________________A memoir of leadership and success: The CEO of Disney, widely recognized as one of the world’s most consequential business leaders, shares the ideas and values he embraced to reinvent one of the most beloved companies in the world and inspire the people who bring the magic to life.Robert Iger became CEO of The Walt Disney Company in 2005, during a difficult time. Competition was more intense than ever and technology was changing faster than at any time in the company’s history. His vision came down to three clear ideas: Recommit to the concept that quality matters, embrace technology instead of fighting it, and think bigger—think global—and turn Disney into a stronger brand in international markets.Today, Disney is the largest, most admired media company in the world, counting Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, and 21st Century Fox among its properties. Under Iger’s leadership, Disney’s value grew nearly five times what it was, making Iger one of the most innovating and successful CEOs of our era.In The Ride of a Lifetime, Robert Iger answers the question: What are the qualities of a good leader? He shares the lessons he learned while running Disney and leading its 220,000-plus employees, and he explores the principles that are necessary for true leadership, including:• Optimism. Even in the face of difficulty, an optimistic leader will find the path toward the best possible outcome and focus on that, rather than give in to pessimism and blaming.• Courage. Leaders have to be willing to take risks and place big bets. Fear of failure destroys creativity.• Decisiveness. All decisions, no matter how difficult, can be made on a timely basis. Indecisiveness is both wasteful and destructive to morale.• Fairness. Treat people decently, with empathy, and be accessible to them.This book is about the relentless curiosity that has driven Iger since the day he started. It’s also about thoughtfulness and respect, and a decency-over-dollars approach that has become the bedrock of every project and partnership Iger pursues, from a deep friendship with Steve Jobs in his final years to an abiding love of the Star Wars mythology.'Bob Iger has not only lived up to ninety-six years of groundbreaking history but has moved the Disney brand far beyond anyone's expectations, and he has done it with grace and audacity. This books shows you how that happened.' STEVEN SPIELBERG

Skickas

In early 1955, Colonel Tom Parker (the manager of the number-one country music star of the day) heard that an unknown teenager from Memphis had just drawn a crowd of more than 800 people to a Texas schoolhouse and headed south to investigate. Within a matter of days, Parker was sending out telegrams and letters to promoters and booking agents: 'We have a new boy that is absolutely going to be one of the biggest things in the business in a very short time. His name is ELVIS PRESLEY.' The close personal bond between Elvis and the Colonel is something that has never been fully portrayed before. It was a relationship founded on mutual admiration and support. From the outset, the Colonel defended Elvis fiercely and indefatigably against RCA executives, Elvis' own booking agents and movie moguls. But in their final years together, the story grew darker, as the Colonel found himself unable to protect Elvis from himself - or to control growing problems of his own. Featuring troves of previously unpublished correspondence from the Colonel's own archives, revelatory for both their insights and their emotional depth, The Colonel and the King provides a groundbreaking dual portrait of the relationship between the iconic artist and his legendary manager and a unique perspective on not one but two American originals. A tale of the birth of the modern-day superstar (an invention almost entirely of Parker's making) by the most acclaimed music writer of his generation, it presents these two misunderstood icons as they've never been seen before: with all of their brilliance, humour and flaws on full display.

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar

During a seven-decade career that spanned from 19th century Vienna to 1920s Broadway to the golden age of Hollywood, three-time Academy Award winner Max Steiner did more than any other composer to introduce and establish the language of film music. Indeed, revered contemporary film composers like John Williams and Danny Elfman use the same techniques that Steiner himself perfected in his iconic work for such classics as Casablanca, King Kong, Gone with the Wind, The Searchers, Now, Voyager, the Astaire-Rogers musicals, and over 200 other titles. And Steiner's private life was a drama all its own. Born into a legendary Austrian theatrical dynasty, he became one of Hollywood's top-paid composers. But he was also constantly in debt--the inevitable result of gambling, financial mismanagement, four marriages, and the actions of his emotionally troubled son. Throughout his chaotic life, Steiner was buoyed by an innate optimism, a quick wit, and an instinctive gift for melody, all of which would come to the fore as he met and worked with luminaries like Richard Strauss, George Gershwin, Irving Berlin, the Warner Bros., David O. Selznick, Bette Davis, Frank Sinatra, and Frank Capra. In Music by Max Steiner, the first full biography of Steiner, author Steven C. Smith interweaves the dramatic incidents of Steiner's personal life with an accessible exploration of his composing methods and experiences, bringing to life the previously untold story of a musical pioneer and master dramatist who helped create a vital new art with some of the greatest film scores in cinema history.
