In Homo Deus, he looked to our future. Now, one of the most innovative thinkers on the planet turns to the present to make sense of today’s most pressing issues. “Fascinating . . . a crucial global conversation about how to take on the problems of the twenty-first century.”—Bill Gates, The New York Times Book Review NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY FINANCIAL TIMES AND PAMELA PAUL, KQED How do computers and robots change the meaning of being human? How do we deal with the epidemic of fake news? Are nations and religions still relevant? What should we teach our children? Yuval Noah Harari’s 21 Lessons for the 21st Century is a probing and visionary investigation into today’s most urgent issues as we move into the uncharted territory of the future. As technology advances faster than our understanding of it, hacking becomes a tactic of war, and the world feels more polarized than ever, Harari addresses the challenge of navigating life in the face of constant and disorienting change and raises the important questions we need to ask ourselves in order to survive. In twenty-one accessible chapters that are both provocative and profound, Harari builds on the ideas explored in his previous books, untangling political, technological, social, and existential issues and offering advice on how to prepare for a very different future from the world we now live in: How can we retain freedom of choice when Big Data is watching us? What will the future workforce look like, and how should we ready ourselves for it? How should we deal with the threat of terrorism? Why is liberal democracy in crisis? Harari’s unique ability to make sense of where we have come from and where we are going has captured the imaginations of millions of readers. Here he invites us to consider values, meaning, and personal engagement in a world full of noise and uncertainty. When we are deluged with irrelevant information, clarity is power. Presenting complex contemporary challenges clearly and accessibly, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century is essential reading. “If there were such a thing as a required instruction manual for politicians and thought leaders, Israeli historian Yuval Noah Harari’s 21 Lessons for the 21st Century would deserve serious consideration. In this collection of provocative essays, Harari . . . tackles a daunting array of issues, endeavoring to answer a persistent question: ‘What is happening in the world today, and what is the deep meaning of these events?’”—BookPage (top pick)

Duke. This book was released on 2010-05-11. 21 Years in Blue available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. I was born November 18, 1932, to Martin E. and Stella V. Tate Duke, during the great depression. We lived in a small three-room house with an outhouse in a small farming community called Big Opening in southeast Missouri. I was the 6th of ten children , 5 boys an d 5 girls. Our first little sister, Lydia Belle, died at one year old so there were 5 children plus Mom and Dad in that little house. My older sister said we almost froze to death that first winter, 1932. Franklin D. Roosevelt was recently elected president and the doctor told my parents if they would name me after the new president he would buy my first set of clothes. They did and that's how I got my name, Franklin Delano Duke. My parents were very devoted Christians and we went to church in the back of a wagon pulled by two horses. I can still hear the sound of the hoof beats and the iron wheels clanking against the rocks. On Sunday nights, Mom would make pallets on the wagon floor for us to lie on. I attended public schools at Salcedo, Miner, and senior high school in Sikeston. At 18, I enlisted and served 21 years in the US Air Force, retiring as Senior Master Sergeant. After retirement I worked the next 20 years in the aluminum plants in The Dalles, Oregon and Goldendale, Washington as a Millwright. My interests are growing flowers, genealogy and volunteer work. We have a daughter, a son, three grandchildren, (one deceased) and two beautiful great grandchildren that we adore .

Download and read online ebook Revelations After 21 Years write by Dorothy P. Graham Alford. This book was released on 2014-05-06. Revelations After 21 Years available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The status of my condition hadn’t changed since I was admitted to the hospital. The only body parts I could move were my eyes and mouth. I just stared at the ceiling and floor, day and night. I would have to endure the discomforts if my nose, eyes, ears, or scalp itched. When I cried, tears would run down the side of my face and lodge in my ears. I tried not to cry too much. I couldn’t sit up in bed. Instead of just praying and asking God for deliverance from my afflictions, I began questioning God, asking why this catastrophe had happened to me. I am a Christian and believed that Jesus died on the cross for my sins. I don’t consider myself as the best person nor do I consider being the worst in this world. Suicidal thoughts were entering my mind. I couldn’t hold a gun or knife with my hands, so the only way left was to refuse to eat. I wouldn’t eat or take medication. As time passed, one Sunday night, the downpour of rain had erupted into a huge flood, besieging every nook and cranny of my mind. Jason and the children came to see me every Saturday and Sunday. He would call the hospital every night to see how I was doing. I couldn’t answer the telephone; the nurses came in every night, about nine o’clock, to inform me that he had called and said hello. His calls were like clockwork. This particular Sunday was like any other Sunday. Jason and I talked, and he said he would call me when he got home. During the night, I called the nurse and informed her that people were bothering me. I became hysterical. She called Jason to see if he could calm me down. I talked to him and told him the same thing. I asked him to come and take me out of the hospital. He said he would be there the next morning. I have no recollection of this or other events that unfolded for weeks. The nurses’ account of this time, after I came out of the depression, was that I was a very, very sick person. I would not eat or talk to anyone but my family. Another nurse asked me if I remembered what had happened to me. I told her that I didn’t remember too much. She said, “It’s for the best that you don’t remember.” I recalled Joanne, the head nurse, coming into my room often, talking and trying to lift my spirits. I never replied. I just looked at the ceiling. Joanne was constantly coming by to talk to me, without getting a response. Then one day, she came to tell me that I was going to be moved to the fifth floor and she was going to put me to work. These words were the catalyst that started propelling me out of my depression. They finally moved me. I was basically the same for about a week or so, but all of a sudden, I miraculously said, “I want something to eat!” The nurses in the room replied, “Dorothy, you’re talking.” They started hugging and kissing me. From that very moment, I had no more thoughts of suicide, and God gave me the ability to smile in spite of all my physical and mental challenges. Gradually, I started pulling out of my depression. The once raindrops of depression that had turned into a flood on my mind were being replaced by rays of sunlight. I have accepted being paralyzed, but the pain I am still experiencing is less accepting. I tried all kinds of over-the-counter medication for pain, without success. I was reluctant to take prescription drugs for fear of becoming addicted. I smile and try to make the best of a challenging situation. I started taking the pain medication without any lasting results. The first three days rendered about a 50 percent reduction for my shoulder pain. Afterward, there was no reduction. I would stop taking them and start again within a month or two. The results were the same. Only Jason and the Lord knew that I have been in pain since my accident. My mother and father went to their graves not knowing what I have been battling these past twenty-one years. Even Mrs. McDowell, my caregiver for two years, didn’t know that I was in pain. She would always say to me, “I know you are bad off
