"Intensely well researched and an un-put-down-able read, Tina Brown's extraordinary book parts the brocaded velvet and allows us an unprecedented look at the world and mind of the most famous person on the planet. A social commentary, a historical document and a psychological examination, written by a superb investigative journalist."
–Academy Award ® Winning Actress Helen Mirren
Ten years after her death, Princess Diana remains a mystery. Was she “the people’s princess,” who electrified the world with her beauty and humanitarian missions? Or was she a manipulative, media-savvy neurotic who nearly brought down the monarchy?
Only Tina Brown, former Editor-in-Chief of Tatler , England’s glossiest gossip magazine; Vanity Fair ; and The New Yorker could possibly give us the truth. Tina knew Diana personally and has far-reaching insight into the royals and the Queen herself.
In The Diana Chronicles, you will meet a formidable female cast and understand as never before the society that shaped them: Diana's sexually charged mother, her scheming grandmother,the stepmother she hated but finally came to terms with,and bad-girl Fergie, her sister-in-law, who concealedwounds of her own.Most formidable of them allwas her mother-in-law, the Queen, whose admiration Diana sought till the day she died. Add Camilla Parker-Bowles, the ultimate "other woman" into this combustible mix, and it's no wonder that Diana broke out of her royal cage into celebrity culture, where she found her own power and used it to devastating effect.

Book Description
In this revolutionary bestseller, Harvard professor Clayton M. Christensen says outstanding companies can do everything right and still lose their market leadership -- or worse, disappear completely. And he not only proves what he says, he tells others how to avoid a similar fate.
Focusing on "disruptive technology" -- the Honda Super Cub, Intel's 8088 processor, or the hydraulic excavator, for example -- Christensen shows why most companies miss "the next great wave." Whether in electronics or retailing, a successful company with established products will get pushed aside unless managers know when to abandon traditional business practices. Using the lessons of successes and failures from leading companies, The Innovator's Dilemma presents a set of rules for capitalizing on the phenomenon of disruptive innovation.
Find out:
* When it is right not to listen to customers.
* When to invest in developing lower-performance products that promise lower margins.
* When to pursue small markets at the expense of seemingly
larger and more lucrative ones.
Sharp, cogent, and provocative, The Innovator's Dilemma is one of the most talked-about books of our time -- and one no savvy manager or entrepreneur should be without.

Every marketer tells a story. And if they do it right, we believe them. We believe that wine tastes better in a $20 glass than a $1 glass. We believe that an $80,000 Porsche Cayenne is vastly superior to a $36,000 VW Touareg, which is virtually the same car. We believe that $225 Pumas will make our feet feel better-and look cooler-than $20 no-names . . . and believing it makes it true. Successful marketers don't talk about features or even benefits. Instead, they tell a story. A story we want to believe. This is a book about doing what consumers demand-painting vivid pictures that they choose to believe. Every organization-from nonprofits to car companies, from political campaigns to wineglass blowers-must understand that the rules have changed (again). In an economy where the richest have an infinite number of choices (and no time to make them), every organization is a marketer and all marketing is about telling stories. Marketers succeed when they tell us a story that fits our worldview, a story that we intuitively embrace and then share with our friends. Think of the Dyson vacuum cleaner or the iPod. But beware: If your stories are inauthentic, you cross the line from fib to fraud. Marketers fail when they are selfish and scurrilous, when they abuse the tools of their trade and make the world worse. That's a lesson learned the hard way by telemarketers and Marlboro. This is a powerful book for anyone who wants to create things people truly want as opposed to commodities that people merely need.

书中,英国哲学普及作家巴吉尼精心设计了100种思想实验场景,引导出100个哲学问题。与其说这些问题是逻辑难题,不如说是邀请书,邀请读者认真思考具有挑战性的100个问题。相应地,巴吉尼并不向读者提供或对或错的答案,而是探索某些方式,来梳理它们提出的实际议题。诸如:
1.一个素食主义者面对一只希望在人类餐桌上而献身的猪该怎么办?杀死一只无脑鸡是否比拔起一根胡萝卜更野蛮?
2.网络虚拟外遇拥有出轨的所有快乐却没有第三者,这算不算不忠?该如何界定婚姻中真正的背叛?
3.作为一名科学家,玛丽知道一切有关红色的知识,然而玛丽是一名色盲患者。心灵与身体是同一的还是同时并存的两个不同的东西?
4.你在ATM机前提取100美元,你却拿到1000美元现金和一张100美元的收据,账户也一切正常。没有某个人受损失。这是天上掉馅饼吗?
5.一个凡事依从理性的人,吃光了家中所有的食物。他的家住在离两家相同超市同样近的地方。该选择去哪一家才算符合理性呢?
6.婚姻中的两个人都偷偷地保护好自己的财产,没有人因交出信任而受到欺骗,理性抉择保护了他们免于婚姻的最差结果,然而最美满的婚姻是否也因此失之交臂呢?
7.你是一个以“不浪费,不欠缺”为人生信条的人。当你的猫不幸被车撞死了,但它还是一块完整的肉,该不该煮来吃?
Three Cups of Tea

The astonishing, uplifting story of a real-life Indiana Jones and his humanitarian campaign to use education to combat terrorism in the Talibans backyard Anyone who despairs of the individuals power to change lives has to read the story of Greg Mortenson, a homeless mountaineer who, following a 1993 climb of Pakistans treacherous K2, was inspired by a chance encounter with impoverished mountain villagers and promised to build them a school. Over the next decade he built fifty-five schoolsespecially for girlsthat offer a balanced education in one of the most isolated and dangerous regions on earth. As it chronicles Mortensons quest, which has brought him into conflict with both enraged Islamists and uncomprehending Americans, Three Cups of Tea combines adventure with a celebration of the humanitarian spirit.
