Entender el cómic. El arte invisible book cover
Entender el cómic. El arte invisible
The Invisible Art
Scott McCloud - 1993-01-01
Calificación de Goodreads
A pesar del creciente número de cómics y novelas gráficas al alcance de los lectores, el número de ensayos sobre el medio es increíblemente escaso. En este libro, sin embargo, Scott McCloud nos muestra que el cómic se merece sobradamente un estudio en profundidad. Entender el cómic: El arte invisible está considerado como la obra definitiva sobre la teoría del cómic como forma artística y medio de comunicación. Explora, la definición de “cómic”, el desarrollo histórico del medio, su vocabulario y las diversas formas en las que se ha usado esos elementos. "Si alguna vez te has sentido mal por desperdiciar tu vida leyendo cómics, échale un vistazo a este clásico de Scott McCloud inmediatamente. Puede que sigas teniendo la impresión de haber desperdiciado tu vida, pero sabrás porqué, y te sentirás orgulloso" Matt Groening "¡Bravo!... Entender el cómic es un hito en su género y una profunda reflexión acerca de la validez del cómic como medio. Quienquiera que esté interesado en esta forma literaria debe leerlo" Will Eisner "Con Entender el cómic, de Scott McCloud ha comenzado el debate sobre qué es el cómic y, más importante aún, sobre los que puede ser. Si lees, escribes, enseñas o dibujas cómics; si quieres hacerlo; o, simplemente, si quieres ver a un maestro dando una clase magistral, tienes que leer este libro" Neil Gaiman "Entender el cómic es, sencillamente, el mejor estudio del medio del cómic que he visto nunca" Alan Moore "Un trabajo emocionante y excepcional que utiliza el cómic de forma ingeniosa para explicar el propio medio" Publishers Weekly Enlaces

I picked it up thinking it was kind of silly, but by the end - and I read it on one sitting - I thought it was one of the best books ever written - or indeed drawn!      fuente

Sensationally good book, and with an audiobook read by the co-author... @brianchristian - always better. Very interesting section explaining creative process in algorithmic terms, analagous to simulated annealing. @RogerLMartin will like.      fuente

The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life
Luke Burgis - 2021-06-01
Calificación de Goodreads
Explore the theory of "mimetic desire" and its influence on our daily lives, from work to romance to politics, in this groundbreaking book. Based on the ideas of French scholar René Girard, author Luke Burgis reveals how our desires are shaped by those around us and how we can break free from chasing unfulfilling desires. Drawing on his experience as an entrepreneur and student of philosophy and theology, Burgis provides a toolkit for intentional wanting and finding meaning in our lives.

When More Is Not Better
Overcoming America's Obsession with Economic Efficiency
Roger L. Martin - 2020-09-29
Calificación de Goodreads
When More Is Not Better delves into the imminent dangers facing American democratic capitalism, and the unprecedented state of economic disparity that plagues our society. Renowned management thinker Roger L. Martin argues that our relentless pursuit of efficiency has turned it into a destructive force, resulting in an unequal society and a fragile economy that is more vulnerable to shocks. He provides rigorous evidence and economic analysis to reveal the dark side of efficiency and highlights the urgent need to rethink our economy's underlying principles.

Lo que ve el Estado. Cómo ciertos esquemas para mejorar la condición humana han fracasado.
How Certain Schemes to Improve the Human Condition Have Failed (Veritas Paperbacks)
James C. Scott - 1998-01-01
Calificación de Goodreads
Con un fino análisis, James Scott ubica en el surgimiento de los Estados premodernos la importancia que ha tenido la creación de mecanismos de legibilidad cuya tarea ha sido simplificar y hacer visible parte de la complejidad de los elementos que dan forma al Estado. Los censos, los mapas, las listas catastrales y la convención de unidades de medida estandarizada son ejemplos de estos mapas de legibilidad que le han permitido al Estado actuar de un modo más eficaz. Advirtiendo los riesgos y las virtudes de estos mecanismos, el autor ve cómo esta legibilidad no sólo ha tenido efectos positivos en la fiscalización u atención a la población más vulnerable, pues, por otro lado, los grandes fracasos de ingeniería social que se han suscitado se han potenciado precisamente por el empobrecimiento de la comprensión de la realidad.

I completely agree. Non-drivers have a very poor understanding of complex systems and should be treated with suspicion. The book Traffic by @tomvanderbilt should be a set text in schools.      fuente

Obliquity
Why Our Goals Are Best Achieved Indirectly
John Kay - 2010-01-01
Calificación de Goodreads
Gain insight into achieving complex goals with economist John Kay's revolutionary book, which proves that the best way to achieve any broadly defined goal is the indirect way. Using a gradual process of risk taking and discovery, known as obliquity, Kay shows how this seemingly counterintuitive path to success manifests itself in nearly every aspect of life, including business, politics, sports, and more. Get ready for a fast-paced and engaging detective story where the surprising secret to success is uncovered.

@d_f_stone @EconTalker I completely agree. The @peterthiel book, along with @ProfJohnKay 's Obliquity, is the best short read for businessfolk since R Updegraff's Obvious Adams and The Specialist by Charles Sale.      fuente
