Yuval Noah Harari Books

Official U.S. edition with full-color illustrations throughout. This #1 New York Times Bestseller is the Summer Reading Pick for President Barack Obama, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg, now available in a beautifully packaged paperback. From a renowned historian comes a groundbreaking narrative of humanity’s creation and evolution, exploring how biology and history have shaped our understanding of what it means to be “human.” A hundred thousand years ago, multiple human species existed, yet only homo sapiens remain today. What led to the extinction of others, and what might happen to us? Unlike typical histories that focus solely on historical or biological perspectives, Dr. Yuval Noah Harari presents a unique narrative that starts around 70,000 years ago with the emergence of modern cognition. By examining the impact of evolving humans on the global ecosystem and the rise of empires, this work integrates history and science to challenge accepted narratives and connect past events with contemporary issues. Dr. Harari also prompts us to consider our future, as humans increasingly influence the laws of natural selection. With 27 photographs, 6 maps, and 25 illustrations/diagrams, this thought-provoking book is essential for fans of prominent thinkers like Jared Diamond and Robert Wright.

Something really strange happened 10,000 years ago, and it changed everything. Why did millions of people agree to obey a few leaders? Where did kings and kingdoms come from? The answer to that is one of the strangest tales you'll ever hear. And it's a true story. Have you ever wondered how we got here? From gathering berries and hunting mammoths, to shopping at supermarkets and letting people tell us what to do? You might hear a lot of people say 'the world isn't fair'. But why isn't it? And how did it become so? In Unstoppable Us- Volume 1, we learned how humans told stories to become rulers of the world - for good and bad. Now, in this next chapter of the incredible true tale of the Unstoppables, find out how humans learned to control animals like dogs, chicken and cows . . . And how a handful of humans learned to control everyone else. With full-colour illustrations showing the relentless rise and rise of the human race, this is history like you've never experienced it before.

Exploring the dynamics of history, this graphic installment delves into the forces that shape civilizations, including money, religion, and empire. With a humorous guide, Heroda Tush, readers encounter a colorful cast of characters, each representing different historical influences, from luck to conquest. This engaging narrative invites reflection on humanity's turbulent journey and the recurring conflicts that challenge our unity. Ideal for readers of all ages, it can be enjoyed independently or as part of the ongoing series.

*From the author of the multi-million bestselling Sapiens comes an incredible new story of the human race, for younger readers.* We humans aren't strong like lions, we don't swim as well as dolphins, and we definitely don't have wings! So how did we end up ruling the world? The answer to that is one of the strangest tales you'll ever hear. And it's a true story . . . Have you ever wondered how we got here? From hunting mammoths, to flying to the moon? It is because we are unstoppable. But what made us so? Well, we have the most amazing superpower: the ability to tell stories. Fairy tales have led us from imagining ghosts and spirits to being able to create money (yes, really!). And this has made us very powerful . . . but very deadly. Nothing stands in our way, and we always want more. So get ready for the most amazing story there ever was - the incredible true tale of the Unstoppables. Find out how fire shrank our stomachs, how our ancestors spoke to animals, what football can tell us about being human, how we used our superpower for good and bad . . . and how YOU have the superpower to change the world. With full-colour illustrations showing the relentless rise and rise of the human race, this is history like you've never experienced it before.

Animal Liberation started a worldwide movement when it revealed the abuse of animals in factory farms and laboratories. It demonstrated that these and other practices were the cause of appalling and unnecessary suffering and therefore morally indefensible. In the fifty years since, science has further vindicated Peter Singer's arguments about animal sentience, vegetarianism has become widespread, and the book has helped change the minds of millions. But the situation for animals has in many ways grown worse. Despite improvements in animal welfare in some regions - brought about in large part by this book - in many others the scale of their abuse has reached staggering new depths. This revised edition, of which about two-thirds is entirely new, documents these and other developments, such as the impact of meat consumption on climate and the spread of dangerous new viruses. It refines its arguments in light of new evidence, equips the reader with fresh tools and advice, and shows us all the road ahead. The result, Animal Liberation Now, is a book of galvanising power, relevance and importance.

In the second "Sapiens" volume, Yuval Noah Harari tells the story of how we took over the world; how an unlikely marriage between a god and a bureaucrat created the first empires; and how war, famine, disease, and inequality became a part of the human condition. The origins of modern farming are introduced through Elizabethan tragedy, the changing fortunes of domesticated plants and animals are tracked in the columns of the Daily Business News, and the story of urbanization is told as a travel brochure offering discount journeys to ancient Babylon and China.

Das Streben nach Langlebigkeit ist das Ziel jeder Existenz: in der Natur, der Politik, bei Unternehmen und uns Menschen. Oft handeln wir jedoch kurzfristig. In einer sich schnell verändernden Welt ist die Fähigkeit, sofort zu reagieren oder Angebote anzupassen, entscheidend. Gleichzeitig müssen langfristige Strategien für die Zukunft entwickelt und Bewahrenswertes geschützt werden. Die Strategien zur Langlebigkeit sind vielfältig und paradox. Das Abstreifen des Alten und die Erneuerung können ebenso wichtig sein wie das Festhalten an Bestehendem, um kleinere Turbulenzen zu überstehen. Die zentrale Frage bleibt: Wann sollten wir bewahren, wann loslassen? Wo sind robuste Strukturen notwendig, um Langlebigkeit zu sichern, und wo ist kurzfristiges Denken gefragt? Diese Suche nach Antworten zur Kunst der Langlebigkeit wird durch Beiträge von Persönlichkeiten wie Yuval Harari, Sven Regener und Steven Chu bereichert. Sie bringen unterschiedliche Perspektiven ein und reflektieren über die Herausforderungen und Möglichkeiten, die mit dem Streben nach Dauerhaftigkeit verbunden sind. Die Diskussion wird durch visuelle Beiträge von Julie Petter und Thomas Walsh ergänzt.

In seinem neuen Buch untersucht Yuval Noah Harari, warum die Welt nicht friedlich ist und wie Menschen aus verschiedenen Gesellschaften miteinander umgehen. Er beleuchtet historische Begegnungen, Konflikte und friedliche Koexistenz von der Antike bis zum Mittelalter und thematisiert die Herausforderungen des Zusammenlebens verschiedener Kulturen und Religionen.

A tisztánlátás hatalom. De hogyan láthatjuk át a világban zajló eseményeket anélkül, hogy elvesznénk az apró részletekben? Például úgy, hogy hátrébb lépünk, és megszemléljük a teljesebb képet: az emberi faj történetét. A Sapiens - Rajzolt történelem című képregénysorozat azt meséli el, hogyan lett egy jelentéktelen majom a Föld nevű bolygó ura, és hogyan jutott el odáig, hogy képes széthasítani az atomot, elrepülni a Holdra, vagy módosítani más fajok genetikai kódját. Yuval Noah Harari, a könyv mesélője és társai - Prehisztorikus Bill, Doktor Fikció, Lopez nyomozó és sokan mások - a történelem meghatározó és sorsfordító eseményeibe avatnak be minket. A képregény viccesen és szórakoztatóan tárja elénk az emberiség történetét a Sapiens - Az emberiség rövid története című nemzetközi sikerkönyv alapján, amelyet 60 nyelvre fordítottak le, és több mint 16 millió példányban kelt el világszerte. Szellemessége, humora és érdekes karakterei azokat is magukkal ragadják, akiket egyébként nemigen köt le a tudomány és a történelem. Az emberiség születése a négyrészes képregénysorozat első kötete.

Wie wir die Macht des Wissens entdeckten und wie wir es zu unserem Wohl einsetzen können Kaum etwas hat das Leben der Menschen so stark verändert wie die wissenschaftliche Revolution. Durch sie entdeckten wir unbekannte Territorien, bekämpften Hunger und Krankheiten und erlangten einen nie gekannten Wohlstand. Doch der Fortschritt hat auch negative Seiten: Völker wurden bekämpft, die Umwelt zerstört und die Atombombe bedroht die Menschheit. Mit der künstlichen Intelligenz kommt ein neuer Player ins Spiel, der der Vorherrschaft der Menschen auf der Erde ein Ende bereiten könnte. Wie kann es uns Menschen gelingen, diese Entwicklungen in die richtigen Bahnen zu lenken? Wie können wir dank unseres Wissens unseren Planeten und die Lebewesen darauf retten? Dieser Frage widmet sich Harari lebendig, klug und unterhaltsam.
