Paperback. Condition: USED_VERYGOOD. 'The Quiet Before is a fascinating and important exploration of how ideas that change the world incubate and spread.' Steven Pinker 'Filled with insightful analysis and colourful storytelling. Rarely does a book give you a new way of looking at social change. This one does.' Walter Isaacson Why do some radical ideas make history? We tend to think of revolutions as loud: frustrations and demands shouted in the streets. But the ideas fuelling them have traditionally been conceived in much quieter spaces, in the small, secluded corners where a vanguard can imagine alternate realities. This extraordinary book is a search for those spaces, over centuries and across continents, and a warning that they might soon go extinct. The Quiet Before is a grand panorama, stretching from the seventeenth-century correspondence that jump-started the scientific revolution to the encrypted apps used by epidemiologists fighting the pandemic in the shadow of an inept administration. Beckerman shows that defining social movements - from decolonization to feminism - thrive when they are given the time and space to gestate. Today, we are replacing these productive, private spaces with monolithic platforms. Why did the Arab Spring fall apart and Occupy Wall Street never gain traction? Has Black Lives Matter lived up to its full potential? Beckerman reveals what this new social media ecosystem still needs - from patience to focus - and offers a recipe for growing radical ideas again. Lyrical and profound, The Quiet Before looks to the past to help us imagine a different future. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Condition: NEW. Idioma/Language: Catalán. Tenim tendència a pensar que les revolucions són fortes: frustracions i reivindicacions cridades als carrers. Però les idees que els alimenten s?han concebut tradicionalment en espais molt més tranquils, en racons petits i aïllats on una avantguarda pot xiuxiuejar entre ells, imaginar realitats alternatives i deliberar sobre com assolir els seus objectius. Aquest llibre extraordinari és una recerca d?aquests espais, al llarg de segles i entre continents, i un avís que ?en un món dominat per les xarxes socials? aviat s?extingeixen. Gal Beckerman, editor de The New York Times Book Review, ens porta al segle xvii, a la correspondència que va impulsar la revolució científica, i després avançar en el temps per examinar els motors del canvi social: les peticions que van assegurar el dret a votar a la Gran Bretanya de la dècada de 1830, els fanzins que van donar veu a la ràbia de les dones a principis dels noranta, i fins i tot les aplicacions de missatgeria utilitzades pels epidemiòlegs que lluitaven contra la pandèmia a l?ombra d?una administració inepta. En cada cas, Beckerman mostra que els nostres moviments socials més definitius ?des de la descolonització fins al feminisme? es van formar en xarxes tranquil les i tancades que permetien a un petit grup incubar les seves idees abans de difondre-les àmpliament. Però Facebook i Twitter estan substituint aquests espais productius i privats, en detriment dels activistes d?arreu del món. Per què es va ensorrar la Primavera Àrab? Per què Occupy Wall Street mai va tenir força? Black Lives Matter ha assolit tot el seu potencial? Beckerman revela què li falta a aquest nou ecosistema de xarxes socials, des de la paciència fins a l?enfocament, i ofereix una recepta per tornar a fer créixer idees radicals. Líric i profund, La calma abans de la tempesta mira al passat per ajudar-nos a imaginar un futur diferent. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
