The most accomplished mountain runner of all time contemplates his record-breaking climb of Mount Everest in this profound and free-flowing memoir--an intellectual and spiritual journey that moves from the earth's highest peak to the soul's deepest reaches.
The world's fastest mountain climber, ultra-runner, and mountaineer, Kilian Jornet has broken nearly every mountaineering record in the world and twice been named National Geographic Adventurer of the Year. In 2018 he burnished that legend, setting the FKT (fastest known time) ascending and descending Mount Everest--in twenty-six hours from base camp--without bottled oxygen or ropes.
What drives a person to the edge of one of the most difficult and revered mountains in the world? How much is one willing to sacrifice and suffer to pursue an authentic and bold life? Jornet ponders these questions as he recounts one remarkable year in the life of the mountain, exploring Everest's changing nature over four seasons and his own existence. Above the Clouds silhouettes a complex and dedicated runner at the peak of his physical prowess who must choose between the safe and certain or the adventurous and perilous.
As he recounts a life spent studying, tending, and ascending the greatest peaks on earth, Jornet ruminates on what he has found in nature--simplicity, freedom, and spiritual joy--and offers a poetic yet clearheaded assessment of his relationship to the mountain . . . at times his opponent, at others, his greatest muse.
In this sweeping, soulful journey--the flip side of stories like Into Thin Air--Jornet illuminates with beauty and brilliance what it means to be an athlete, a competitor, and a human facing the greatest life challenges--for him, the mountain he yearns to climb and honor.

Design Thinking for Beginners: Innovation as a factor for entrepreneurial success
The role of Design Thinking in innovative management in the era of digitization and globalization
Are you working in an innovative environment and looking for ways to generate ideas in a structured way?
"In recent decades, there have been more inventions and innovations than ever before. Since 1980, the number of annual patents has tripled worldwide, reflecting the pressure on companies and organizations to innovate. Digitalization and growing globalization make it easy for new companies to be immediately present in the world market with a good idea. But where do companies get their new extraordinary and creative ideas from when they have outsourced innovation to a research department? No wonder no taxi company in the world has come up with a service like Uber because they didn't dare to think the impossible. But ideas are not born in an Excel document. Above all, however, it is often forgotten that people must be the focus of attention. The customer is not just a number in the accounting system but someone with needs that need to be met."

At once a slogan and a vision for future scholarship, interdisciplinarity promises to break through barriers to address today's complex challenges. Yet even high-stakes projects often falter, undone by poor communication, strong feelings, bureaucratic frameworks, and contradictory incentives. This new book shows newcomers and veteran researchers how to craft associations that will lead to rich mutual learning under inevitably tricky conditions. Strikingly candid and always grounded, the authors draw a wealth of profound, practical lessons from an in-depth case study of a multiyear funded project on cultural property. Examining the social dynamics of collaboration, they show readers how to anticipate sources of conflict, nurture trust, and jump-start thinking across disciplines. Researchers and institutions alike will learn to plan for each phase of a project life cycle, capturing insights and shepherding involvement along the way.
Автор: Kilian Stumpf SJ Название: The Acta Pekinensia or Historical Records of the Maillard de Tournon Legation: Volume II: September 1706 – December 1707 ISBN: 9004396314 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789004396319 Издательство: Brill Цена: 264320.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: The Acta Pekinensia is a Latin manuscript found in the Jesuit Roman Archives. It is a record of the papal legation to China of Charles Maillard de Tournon, from his arrival in China to his death in Macau. It was compiled by Kilian Stumpf, a German Jesuit missionary/scientist serving at the court of the Kangxi Emperor of China. Stumpf was in a privileged position to record day by day the events of this crucial episode not only in the history of Christianity in China but in Chinese-Western relations. This annotated translation provides a full documentation and an acute and lively commentary on the clash of values which resulted in the failure of the legation and the condemnation of Chinese Rites.
