Chris Anderson Knihy

Geekové jsou novodobou kategorií dospělých, jejichž poznávacím znamením je dětství u počítače, Dračího doupěte, případně v kroužku programování. Jsou zběhlejší v technice než kterákoliv generace před nimi a své inovace neváhají aplikovat na všechny aspekty života. Díky neodolatelné osobnosti se i geekové stávají dříve či později táty a tady přichází chvíle pro evoluci nového druhu – táty geeka. Tito tátové nepodceňují děti a hledají nové, neotřelé způsoby, jak se s nimi podělit o lásku k vědě a technice, jak v nich zažehnout plamen vášně k učení a objevování. A zejména, jak se také dobře pobavit. Knížka Táta geek je plná nekončící zábavy a futuristických lahůdek, od stolních her přes roboty až po elektronické hračičky a pomáhá každému geekovskému tátovi probudit malého kluka, který v něm stále dřímá.

Bez nadsázky jde o "povinnou četbu" pro trenéry, hráče, fanoušky i sázkaře.

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.

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.

Reveals how to run an online business profitably in spite of the Internet's inherently free culture, disseminating the principles of a ''priceless economy'' in six categories that pertain to advertising, labor exchange, and advanced-version fees.
