Gregory Zuckerman Reihenfolge der Bücher

This is the definitive account of the global effort to develop a vaccine for Covid-19, charting the failure and success of every major vaccine in use. When the coronavirus pandemic hit, many of the world's biggest drug and vaccine makers were slow to react or couldn't muster an effective response. It was up to a small group of unlikely and untested scientists and executives to save civilization; a French businessman dismissed by many as a fabulist, a Turkish immigrant with little virus experience, a quirky American Midwesterner obsessed with insect cells, a Boston scientist employing questionable techniques, a British scientist despised by his peers. They scrambled to turn their life's work into life-saving vaccines in a matter of months, each gunning to make the big breakthrough - and to beat each other for the glory that a vaccine guaranteed. A number-one New York Times bestselling author and award-winning Wall Street Journal investigative journalist, Zuckerman takes us inside the top-secret laboratories, corporate clashes and high-stakes government negotiations that led to effective vaccines development and roll out. Meticulously reported and endlessly gripping, this is a dazzling, blow-by-blow chronicle of the most consequential scientific breakthrough of our time. It's a story of courage, genius and heroism, optimism. It's also a tale of heated rivalries, unbridled ambitions, crippling insecurities and unexpected drama. A Shot to Save the World is the story of how science saved the world

"Few were ready when a mysterious respiratory illness emerged in Wuhan, China in January 2020. Politicians, government officials, business leaders, and public-health professionals were unprepared for the most devastating pandemic in a century. Many of the world's biggest drug and vaccine makers were slow to react or couldn't muster an effective response. It was up to a small group of unlikely and untested scientists and executives to save civilization. A French businessman dismissed by many as a fabulist. A Turkish immigrant with little virus experience. A quirky Midwesterner obsessed with insect cells. A Boston scientist employing questionable techniques. A British scientist despised by his peers. Far from the limelight, each had spent years developing innovative vaccine approaches. Their work was met with skepticism and scorn. By 2020, these individuals had little proof of progress. Yet they and their colleagues wanted to be the ones to stop the virus holding the world hostage. They scrambled to turn their life's work into life-saving vaccines in a matter of months, each gunning to make the big breakthrough--and to beat each other for the glory that a vaccine guaranteed."-- Provided by publisher

Wieloletnie badania prowadzone nad ceramiką przez Prof. dr hab. inż. Macieja Pawlikowskiego z Akademii Górniczo-Hutniczej w Krakowie przedstawione w tej publikacji przynoszą wiele cennych informacji pomimo tego, że są jedynie skromnym wyborem z badań dużych serii materiałów ceramicznych. Jest to jedna z pierwszych publikacji omawiających kompleksowo problemy związane z tworzywem ceramicznym i jego domieszkami, ważna nie tylko dla archeologów.

Jim Simons ist der größte »Money Maker« der modernen Finanzgeschichte. Kein anderer Investor – weder Warren Buffett noch Ray Dalio oder George Soros – kommt ihm gleich. Seit 1988 hat der von seiner New Yorker Investmentgesellschaft Renaissance Technologies emittierte Medallion-Fonds eine durchschnittliche jährliche Rendite von 66 Prozent erzielt. Sein Unternehmen hat damit Gewinne von mehr als 100 Milliarden Dollar erwirtschaftet; Simons Vermögen liegt bei mehr als 20 Milliarden Dollar. Aber auch in der Welt jenseits der Finanzen wurde Simons zu einer wichtigen Figur. Die wissenschaftliche Forschung, Bildung und die Politik wurden von ihm maßgeblich beeinflusst, er spendete mehrere Hundert Millionen Dollar. Gregory Zuckerman, mehrfach ausgezeichneter New York Times-Bestsellerautor, erzählt die fesselnde Geschichte eines Weltklasse-Mathematikers und ehemaligen Codeknackers, der die Finanzwelt revolutionierte. Mit beispiellosem persönlichen Zugang zu Simons und vielen seiner engsten Mitarbeiter zeichnet er das Porträt eines modernen Midas, der die Märkte nach seinem eigenen Bild neu gestaltet hat. Und er zeigt, welche Folgen der fast schon albtraumhafte Aufstieg von Simons' für uns alle hat.

“A lively, exciting, and definitely thought-provoking book.” —Booklist Things looked grim for American energy in 2006, but a handful of wildcatters were determined to tap massive deposits of oil and gas that giants like Exxon and Chevron had ignored. They risked everything on a new process called fracking. Within a few years, they solved America’s dependence on imported energy, triggered a global environmental controversy, and made and lost astonishing fortunes. No one understands the frackers—their ambitions, personalities, and foibles—better than Wall Street Journal reporter Gregory Zuckerman. His exclusive access drives this dramatic narrative, which stretches from North Dakota to Texas to Wall Street.

Meet the Frackers. George Mitchell, the son of a Greek goatherder, who tried to extract gas from rock that experts deemed worthless. He faced an unexpected obstacle in his quest to change history. Aubrey McClendon, the charismatic descendant of an Oklahoma energy dynasty, who scored bil­lions leading a land grab. He wasn't prepared for the shocking fallout of his discoveries. Tom Ward, who overcame a troubled childhood to become one of the nation's wealthiest men. He could handle natural-gas fields but had more trouble with a Wall Street power broker. Harold Hamm, the son of poor farmer, who believed America had more oil than anyone imagined. Hamm was determined to find the crude before others caught on. Charif Souki, the dashing Lebanese immigrant who saw his career crumble and his fortune disintegrate, leaving one last, unlikely chance for success. Mark Papa, the Enron castoff who panicked when he realized a resurgence of American natural gas was at hand: one that his company wasn't prepared for.
