Endure : how to work hard, outlast, and keep hammering / by Hanes, Cameron R.,author.; Rogan, Joe,1967-writer of foreword.;
"Endure is the ultimate book on the necessity of setting higher goals and expecting more from yourself every day-written by one of the world's deadliest bowhunters. At 20 years old, nothing great was happening in Cameron Hanes' life. Living in a small town where dreams were dismissed and bouncing between the homes of divorced parents, he carried low expectations and no hope for a life of fulfilled potential. He wasn't looking down the road, nor was he imagining ever being able to impact the outside world. Discovering bowhunting changed everything. For over three decades, Cam's called himself an average guy who has experienced tremendous bowhunting success only through hard work and dedication. Endure chronicles the lessons he has learned and compels readers to raise their expectations of themselves. If he can do it, anyone can. Cameron inspires us to have the work ethic, endurance and resiliency needed to push our limits and break the barriers that keep us from our true purpose. From the unforgiving mountains to the rugged running trails to the thrill of extreme bowhunts, Endure takes us to places of risk, challenge, and adventure so that we can realize the impossible isn't too far out of reach. Truly exceptional people don't excel because of their outstanding abilities. They become exceptional because they're obsessed with improvement. Greatness arrives when you keep hammering day after day. Showcasing the skills Cameron has used with the goal of becoming the ultimate predator, Endure redefines hard work and inspires readers to cultivate the grit, discipline and dedication needed in order to maximize each day of life. This book isn't about bowhunting. It's about believing in yourself and becoming the best you can possibly be"--

The geek way : the radical mindset that drives extraordinary results / by McAfee, Andrew,author.; Hoffman, Reid,writer of foreword.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."We're living in a time of amazing technological innovation, but we're not paying enough attention to one of the most important innovations of all-one that's going to be a wellspring of progress for a long time to come. This innovation lies with the company itself-the collection of people and assets brought together to create goods and services and bring them to market. And, as Andrew McAfee persuasively argues, this new model is pioneered by geeks who are instituting a radical new mindset, shifting the paradigm of what a business can-and should-be"--

The knowledge : how to rebuild our world from scratch / by Dartnell, Lewis.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."How would you go about rebuilding a technological society from scratch? If our technological society collapsed tomorrow, perhaps from a viral pandemic or catastrophic asteroid impact, what would be the one book you would want to press into the hands of the postapocalyptic survivors? What crucial knowledge would they need to survive in the immediate aftermath and to rebuild civilization as quickly as possible-a guide for rebooting the world? Human knowledge is collective, distributed across the population. It has built on itself for centuries, becoming vast and increasingly specialized. Most of us are ignorant about the fundamental principles of the civilization that supports us, happily utilizing the latest-or even the most basic-technology without having the slightest idea of why it works or how it came to be. If you had to go back to absolute basics, like some sort of postcataclysmic Robinson Crusoe, would you know how to re-create an internal combustion engine, put together a microscope, get metals out of rock, accurately tell time, weave fibers into clothing, or even how to produce food for yourself? Regarded as one of the brightest young scientists of his generation, Lewis Dartnell proposes that the key to preserving civilization in an apocalyptic scenario is to provide a quickstart guide, adapted to cataclysmic circumstances. The Knowledge describes many of the modern technologies we employ, but first it explains the fundamentals upon which they are built. Every piece of technology rests on an enormous support network of other technologies, all interlinked and mutually dependent. You can't hope to build a radio, for example, without understanding how to acquire the raw materials it requires, as well as generate the electricity needed to run it. But Dartnell doesn't just provide specific information for starting over; he also reveals the greatest invention of them all-the phenomenal knowledge-generating machine that is the scientific method itself. This would allow survivors to learn technological advances not explicitly explored in The Knowledge as well as things we have yet to discover. The Knowledge is a brilliantly original guide to the fundamentals of science and how it built our modern world as well as a thought experiment about the very idea of scientific knowledge itself"--Provided by publisher.
