Chris Anderson Libros

For anyone who has ever been inspired by a TED talk, this is an insider s guide to creating talks that are unforgettable."

A young readers edition of the New York Times best-selling TED TALKS , chock- full of tips and techniques to help young people become confident, capable speakers.

Christopher Anderson (*1970, Kelowna, Canada), a member of Magnum Photos, is one of the most influential contemporary photographers. He first gained recognition in 1999 when he boarded a small boat with 44 Haitian immigrants trying to sail to America. The boat sank in the Caribbean. For his images, he received the Robert Capa Gold Medal. Since then, Anderson’s work has defied categorization as he slips between the worlds of documentary, art, commercial and fashion photography. He was New York Magazine’s first ever “Photographer in Residence” and won the World Press Photo contest in 2007 and 2008. The images in Bleu Blanc Rouge , taken in the United States, France, Italy, Spain, and Germany, include portraits, candid moments, and still lifes. Recurring visual elements as the color red, forms and patterns, or a certain light tie the images together to a playful and poetic series. Presented in a magazine-like style, the particular intimacy of Anderson’s images enchants the viewer in an instant. Exhibition: 3.11.–8.12.2018, Ravestijn Gallery, Amsterdam

What happens when advances in technology allow many things to be produced for more or less nothing? And what happens when those things are then made available to the consumer for free? Chris Anderson considers a brave new world where the old economic certainties are being undermined by a growing flood of free goods.

The official TED guide to public speaking. A New York Times bestseller.

Magnum-Fotograf Christopher Anderson stellt in diesem Buch eine sehr persönliche Arbeit vor. Anderson hatte für seine Dokumentationen aus Kon- fliktzonen auf der ganzen Welt internationale Anerkennung geerntet. Doch nach der Geburt seines Sohnes wandte er sich ab von der Kriegsfotografie und hin zu intimeren Betrachtungen:'Diese Bilder sind die organische Reaktion auf eine Erfahrung, die gleich- zeitig die einzigartigste und die universellste der Welt ist: die Geburt eines Kindes. (.) Während ich das intensive Glück dieses neuen Lebens erfuhr, erhielt mein Vater eine Lungenkrebsdiagnose. Es lag also nur nahe, dass ich mich mit Themen wie Leben und Tod beschäftigte. Durch meinen Sohn hatte meine eigene Rolle als Sohn neue Bedeutung gewonnen und meine Sinne waren hyperempfindsam für die Tatsache, dass auch mein Leben ver- streicht. Dann ›geschahen‹ diese Fotos. Sie sind Aufzeichnungen über die Liebe und über die zyklische Natur des Lebens.'Anderson (*1970 in Kanada) wurde unter anderem mit der Robert Capa Goldmedaille, zwei World Press Photo Awards und dem Titel 'Magazine Photographer of the Year' ausgezeichnet. Er hat zwei vielbeachtete Mono- grafien veröffentlicht, Nonfiction (2003) und Capitolio (2009).

Just as Google, Facebook and others have created highly successful companies in the virtual world, so these new inventors and manufacturers are assuming positions of ever greater importance in the real world.

The author considers a brave new world where the old economic certainties are bring undermined by a growing flood of free goods. He explains why this has become possible--why new technologies, such as the internet, have caused production and distribution costs in many sectors to plummet to an extent unthinkable even a decade ago.

The concept of 'the long tail' refers to the hundreds of products that are not bestsellers, i.e. those products that form a line that tails off down any company's sales graph. This book looks at how the Internet has allowed for a boom in such niche-market products.

Why does stopping a goal beat scoring one? Why do the best defenders rarely touch the ball? Why is ditching your worst player smarter than buying a superstar? In this myth-busting book, Chris Anderson and David Sally show that the normal football terms - goals, possession, points, transfer fees - can actually hinder how we understand the game. Instead, by diving deep into the data, they uncover hidden truths about what is really happening on the pitch. Wonderfully readable and counter-intuitive, The Numbers Game will win you plenty of pub arguments. After reading it you will never think about football in the same way again. 'Rush to read this book immediately. The game [you] love will take on new depth, colour and subtlety.' Ed Smith, The Times 'Pundits, armchair fans and professionals will find that several of their long-cherished truisms are not true at all.' Guardian 'Challenges everything we know about football.' 'Sportshour', BBC World Service 'A highly original contribution to our understanding of what we are seeing at a match . . . unbeatable.' Independent on Sunday
