    Hardback. Condition: Very Good. AN INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER Wall Street Journal Bestseller A Porchlight Book Bestseller Financial Times Best Books of 2020 Yahoo Finance Favorite Business Books of 2020 JP Morgan NextList 2021 selection "Bold, provocative.illuminates why we're having fewer babies, the middle class is stagnating, unemployment is shifting, and new powers are rising." --ADAM GRANT The world is changing drastically before our eyes--will you be prepared for what comes next? A groundbreaking analysis from one of the world's foremost experts on global trends, including analysis on how COVID-19 will amplify and accelerate each of these changes. Once upon a time, the world was neatly divided into prosperous and backward economies. Babies were plentiful, workers outnumbered retirees, and people aspiring towards the middle class yearned to own homes and cars. Companies didn't need to see any further than Europe and the United States to do well. Printed money was legal tender for all debts, public and private. We grew up learning how to "play the game," and we expected the rules to remain the same as we took our first job, started a family, saw our children grow up, and went into retirement with our finances secure. That world--and those rules--are over. By 2030, a new reality will take hold, and before you know it: - There will be more grandparents than grandchildren - The middle-class in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa will outnumber the US and Europe combined - The global economy will be driven by the non-Western consumer for the first time in modern history - There will be more global wealth owned by women than men - There will be more robots than workers - There will be more computers than human brains - There will be more currencies than countries All these trends, currently underway, will converge in the year 2030 and change everything you know about culture, the economy, and the world. According to Mauro F. Guillen, the only way to truly understand the global transformations underway--and their impacts--is to think laterally. That is, using "peripheral vision," or approaching problems creatively and from unorthodox points of view. Rather than focusing on a single trend--climate-change or the rise of illiberal regimes, for example--Guillen encourages us to consider the dynamic inter-play between a range of forces that will converge on a single tipping point--2030--that will be, for better or worse, the point of no return. 2030 is both a remarkable guide to the coming changes and an exercise in the power of "lateral thinking," thereby revolutionizing the way you think about cataclysmic change and its consequences.…

    Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The industrial age of energy and transportation will be over by 2030. Maybe before. Exponentially improving technologies such as solar, electric vehicles, and autonomous (self-driving) cars will disrupt and sweep away the energy and transportation industries as we know it. The Stone Age did not end because we ran out of rocks. It ended because a disruptive technology ushered in the Bronze Age. The era of centralized, command-and-control, extraction-resource-based energy sources (oil, gas, coal and nuclear) will not end because we run out of petroleum, natural gas, coal, or uranium. It will end because these energy sources, the business models they employ, and the products that sustain them will be disrupted by superior technologies, product architectures, and business models. The same Silicon Valley ecosystem that created bit-based technologies that have disrupted atom-based industries is now creating bit- and electron-based technologies that will disrupt atom-based energy industries. This is a technology-based disruption reminiscent of how the cell phone, Internet, and personal computer swept away industries such as landline telephony, publishing, and mainframe computers. Just like those technology disruptions flipped the architecture of information and brought abundant, cheap and participatory information, the clean disruption will flip the architecture of energy and bring abundant, cheap and participatory energy. Just like those previous technology disruptions, the clean disruption is inevitable and will be swift. The industrial age of energy and transportation is already giving way to an information technology and knowledge-based energy and transportation era.…

    Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Un rapport exprime une prise de position officielle de I 'Acad mie nationale de m decine/ France. L'Acad mie dans sa s ance du mardi 1er octobre 2019, a signal une situation alarmante qui impose une pr vention pr coce, car La consommation de drogues licites et illicites est responsable de la perte annuelle de 130.000 vies humaines en France et d'un co t sanitaire et social consid rable. La d pense directe des finances publiques s' l ve 22,1 milliards d'euros, soit pr s de 1% du PIB. Le niveau lev d'usage de ces substances l' ge adulte s'explique par une entr e tr s pr coce dans leurs consommations, puis par des progressions r guli res, comme le montrent les trois s ries d'enqu tes de pr valence r alis es entre 2010 et 2017 chez des adolescents de 11 17 ans. Ces consommations constituent donc un probl me majeur de sant publique auquel il semble important d'apporter des r ponses prioritaires. Parmi 35 pays, pour ce qui est de la consommation des jeunes de 16 ans au cours des 30 derniers jours, la France occupe la 1 re place pour le cannabis, la 3 me pour les autres drogues illicites, la 11 me pour le tabac et la 15 me pour l'alcool.…

    Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Is this what's in store? June 12, 2030 started out like any other day in memory--and by then, memories were long. Since cancer had been cured fifteen years before, America's population was aging rapidly. That sounds like good news, but consider this: millions of baby boomers, with a big natural predator picked off, were sucking dry benefits and resources that were never meant to hold them into their eighties and beyond. Young people around the country simmered with resentment toward "the olds" and anger at the treadmill they could never get off of just to maintain their parents' entitlement programs. But on that June 12th, everything changed: a massive earthquake devastated Los Angeles, and the government, always teetering on the edge of bankruptcy, was unable to respond. The fallout from the earthquake sets in motion a sweeping novel of ideas that pits national hope for the future against assurances from the past and is peopled by a memorable cast of refugees and billionaires, presidents and revolutionaries, all struggling to find their way. In 2030, Albert Brooks' all-too-believable, dystopian imagining of where today's challenges could lead us tomorrow makes gripping and thought-provoking reading.…
