Where would humanity be now without fire, vaccinations, farming ... or wine? A great idea is one that has changed the path of human civilisation. But which is the greatest of them all? John Farndon, author of the bestselling Do You Think You’re Clever?, has set out to find the answer. A distinguished panel of experts agreed on a list of 50 ideas, and each chapter of The World’s Greatest Idea sees Farndon explore the argument for a different one. The candidates are intriguingly varied: Electricity grids enable us to power our cities, but then sewers allowed those cities to grow. Without the wheel, modern civilisation would be pretty much impossible, but take away Logic and we’d lose the essential structures for rational thought ... But then what would be the point of all of this without the idea of romance? The World’s Greatest Idea is an enthralling voyage of discovery through the most powerful intellectual, social, scientific and creative brainwaves humans have ever had. They are ranked in the book determined by a public vote on www.theworldsgreatestidea.com But will you agree with the verdict?

The definitive history of America’s greatest incubator of innovation and the birthplace of some of the 20th century’s most influential technologies “Filled with colorful characters and inspiring lessons . . . The Idea Factory explores one of the most critical issues of our time: What causes innovation?” —Walter Isaacson, The New York Times Book Review “Compelling . . . Gertner's book offers fascinating evidence for those seeking to understand how a society should best invest its research resources.” —The Wall Street Journal From its beginnings in the 1920s until its demise in the 1980s, Bell Labs-officially, the research and development wing of AT&T-was the biggest, and arguably the best, laboratory for new ideas in the world. From the transistor to the laser, from digital communications to cellular telephony, it's hard to find an aspect of modern life that hasn't been touched by Bell Labs. In The Idea Factory, Jon Gertner traces the origins of some of the twentieth century's most important inventions and delivers a riveting and heretofore untold chapter of American history. At its heart this is a story about the life and work of a small group of brilliant and eccentric men-Mervin Kelly, Bill Shockley, Claude Shannon, John Pierce, and Bill Baker-who spent their careers at Bell Labs. Today, when the drive to invent has become a mantra, Bell Labs offers us a way to enrich our understanding of the challenges and solutions to technological innovation. Here, after all, was where the foundational ideas on the management of innovation were born.

Download and read online ebook Probably the Best Idea in the World write by Mark Greene. This book was released on 2018-03-22. Probably the Best Idea in the World available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. At the heart of everything is one very good idea--the true currency of our society, the key to all human flourishing and happiness. This idea is quite simple. It is love, actually. Love God. Love one another. Your neighbor. Your enemy. Simple--but far from easy, as statistics and prolific stories of broken friendships, toxic workplaces, divided churches, dysfunctional families, and lonely people testify. And yet love is a commandment. The greatest commandment. Not an optional extra, not just a good idea, but the most important order, the one from which all the others flow. So how can we begin to follow this command? With brilliant storytelling and deep theological insight, Mark Greene explores a liberating framework to help us make decisions that enhance rather than damage our relationships--whether we're replacing a dishwasher or managing a team. He challenges us to put relationships deliberately back at the center of our calling and discipleship. Full of humor, contemporary examples, and research, Probably the Best Idea in the Worldshows how Jesus's emphasis on thinking relationally is not only a liberating basis for our personal lives but also a dynamic foundation for our workplaces, our society, and our global community.
