Bestselling author Geoffrey Moore shows companies how to rise to the challenge of natural selection—and master their own evolution
Geoffrey Moore is one of the most respected and bestselling names in business books. In his widely quoted Crossing the Chasm, he identified and addressed the greatest challenge facing new ventures. Now he's back with a book for established businesses that need to learn how to adapt—or suffer the slow declines into marginalized performance that have characterized so many Fortune 500 icons in recent years.
Deregulation, globalization, and e-commerce are exerting unprecedented pressures on company profits. In this new economic ecosystem, companies must dramatically differentiate from their direct competitors—or risk declining performance and eventual extinction. But how do companies choose the right innovation strategy? Or overcome internal inertia that resists the kind of radical commitments needed to truly set the company's offers apart?
Illustrating his arguments with more than one hundred examples and a full-length case study based on his unprecedented access to Cisco Systems, Moore shows businesses how to meet today's Darwinian challenges, whether they're producing commodity products or customized services. For companies whose competitive differentiation to the marketplace is still effective, he demonstrates how innovations in execution can help boost productivity, whether a company is competing in a growth market, a mature market, or even a declining market. For companies in danger of succumbing to competitive pressures, he shows how to overcome inertia by engaging the entire corporate community in an unceasing commitment to innovate and evolve.
For any business competing in today's eat-or-be-eaten economic jungle, this groundbreaking guide shows not only how to survive, but also thrive.

公元1967年,人类经过反复计算,发现要不了两千年,太阳就会变成超新星爆发,地球即将毁灭。在这最后的时刻,有人绝望,有人痛哭,有人放浪形骸,但更多的人将全世界的力量凝聚到一起,试图移民银河系,或者,至少将人类的基因和文明传播到宇宙中,这样,人类才不至于白白在宇宙中存在过。
地球最终还是毁灭了,但在此之前,她至少产生了两种不同的移民:一种是用播种船运送基因到异星,在异星上土生土长的地球人后代,他们没有历史,不考虑未来,无忧无虑;另一种则是通过人体冷冻技术保存了肉体的地球人,他们眼睁睁地看着地球在眼前灰飞烟灭,内心焦虑,充满沉重的使命感。
而现在,这两种截然不同的人群在小小的萨拉萨星上相遇了……
本书一直被阿瑟•克拉克本人视作自己的最高杰作,他以轻松诙谐的笔调,出人意料又在情理之中的情节设置,构筑了一个地球毁灭之后的人类世界。小说中,融入了他对科学与未来、人类个体与社会、哲学与宗教、生与死、爱情与背叛的深深思考,更探讨了人类哲学的终极问题——我们为什么活着?我们活着又该做什么?

Robert Oppenheimer was among the most brilliant and divisive of men. As head of the Los Alamos Laboratory, he oversaw the successful effort to beat the Nazis in the race to develop the first atomic bomb—a breakthrough that was to have eternal ramifications for mankind and that made Oppenheimer the “Father of the Atomic Bomb.” But with his actions leading up to that great achievement, he also set himself on a dangerous collision course with Senator Joseph McCarthy and his witch-hunters. In Robert Oppenheimer: A Life Inside the Center , Ray Monk, author of peerless biographies of Ludwig Wittgenstein and Bertrand Russell, goes deeper than any previous biographer in the quest to solve the enigma of Oppenheimer’s motivations and his complex personality.
The son of German-Jewish immigrants, Oppenheimer was a man of phenomenal intellectual attributes, driven by an ambition to overcome his status as an outsider and penetrate the heart of political and social life. As a young scientist, his talent and drive allowed him to enter a community peopled by the great names of twentieth-century physics—men such as Niels Bohr, Max Born, Paul Dirac, and Albert Einstein—and to play a role in the laboratories and classrooms where the world was being changed forever, where the secrets of the universe, whether within atomic nuclei or collapsing stars, revealed themselves.
But Oppenheimer’s path went beyond one of assimilation, scientific success, and world fame. The implications of the discoveries at Los Alamos weighed heavily upon this fragile and complicated man. In the 1930s, in a climate already thick with paranoia and espionage, he made suspicious connections, and in the wake of the Allied victory, his attempts to resist the escalation of the Cold War arms race led many to question his loyalties.
Through compassionate investigation and with towering scholarship, Ray Monk’s Robert Oppenheimer tells an unforgettable story of discovery, secrecy, impossible choices, and unimaginable destruction.

从0到1:开启商业与未来的秘密
Silicon Valley legend Peter Thiel’s vision for building the companies of the future.
In Spring 2012, students at Stanford University packed a lecture hall to hear Silicon Valley entrepreneur and investor Peter Thiel teach a course called “Computer Science 183: Startup.” Thiel told the class everything he knows about starting a company, going beyond the basics of running a business to answer the much harder question of how to find value where other people do not see it.
Now Thiel and former student Blake Masters, whose notes on the class became an internet sensation, have revised, updated, and expanded on the best parts of the lectures. The result is this unique book: simultaneously an insider’s view of Silicon Valley, a practical guide for thinking about business, and a contrarian vision of the future.
Thiel starts from the bold premise that we live in an age of technological stagnation, even if we’re too distracted by our new mobile devices to notice. Progress has stalled in every industry except computers, and globalization is hardly the revolution people think it is. It’s true that the world can get marginally richer by building new copies of old inventions, making horizontal progress from “1 to
” But true innovators have nothing to copy. The most valuable companies of the future will make vertical progress from “0 to 1,” creating entirely new industries and products that have never existed before.
is about how to build these companies.
Tomorrow’s champions will not win by competing ruthlessly in today’s marketplace.
They will escape competition altogether, because their businesses will be unique. In today’s post-internet bubble world, conventional wisdom dictates that all the good ideas are taken, and the economy becomes a tournament in which everyone competes to reach the top.
shows how to quit the zero-sum tournament by finding an untapped market, creating a new product, and quickly scaling up a monopoly business that captures lasting value.
Planning an escape from competition is essential for every business and every individual, not just for technology startups. The greatest secret of the modern era is that there are still unique frontiers to explore and new problems to solve.
shows how to pursue them using the most important, most difficult, and most underrated skill in every job or industry: thinking for yourself.

《十八史略》为宋末元初曾先之所撰,采撷正史、《资治通鉴》等史书,是简明地叙述中国历史的初学者启蒙书。至明代大为畅行,更东传日本,并且在日本产生了长久的、特殊的影响。
陈舜臣所著的《小说十八史略》,将从上古到宋灭亡之间的历史小说化。尽管与曾先之的著作无直接关联,但是在将历史用简明通俗的方式介绍给大众读者这点上,则有异曲同工之妙。
这部作品首先在周刊连载,1977年出书,全六卷的销售量,在很短的时间内便超出一百万册。之后,又改版为十二卷,也一再再版,直到2006年还有新的版本出版,成为在日本长销不衰的中国历史作品。
《陈舜臣十八史略:兴亡无常》为《陈舜臣十八史略》系列的第三本, 讲述魏晋南北朝这段时期重要的历史人物和事件。贯穿本书的主题是漫长乱世的兴亡无常。承接上一本情节从东汉末年黄巾起义开始,魏晋南北朝的乱世就此展开。作者笔下的人物,有与传统形象不同之的精彩之处。董卓除了残暴之外,也有幻术增兵的智谋和另立献帝的政治直觉;孔明政治才能高超,但是在蜀国国力疲弱的情形下,也只能用将自己神化的方式来凝聚蜀国的人心和战力;司马懿与孔明确实棋逢对手,但是其后期的示弱与谨慎是为了更好的隐藏和保全自己的野心;有着“统一天下以安万民”的理想和民族宽容心的苻坚却在淝水不可思议地溃败;对北魏的汉化倾尽全力的崔浩,可谓死于自己推行成功的汉化之下……乱世的人性、欲望、血腥、权谋,尽在本书兴亡无常之中。

我叫拉姆•穆罕默德•托马斯,是一个孟买的孤儿。
我被捕了,因为我在一个电视竞猜节目中赢了10亿卢比的巨奖,而他们都认为作弊了。理由很简单:一个贫民窟孩子的知识怎么可能可能如此渊博?就在我被残忍折磨的时候,一个美丽的女律师出现解救了我。我向她讲述了我的神奇经历,从孤儿院到妓院,从列车劫匪到丐帮头目,我所经历的每一种苦难,都成为了最宝贵的财富。
《贫民窟的百万富翁》充满了纷繁芜杂的喜剧、惊心动魄的悲剧,以及现代印度催人泪下的迷乱气氛……这部作品不光节奏极快,情节跌宕起伏,内容也异常丰富。
同名电影保留了小说的框架,却无法展现小说中深远的印度风情和复杂的情节、人物关系。只有看过了原著,你才能真正理解这个故事的内涵。
