Gut
Buch, das gelesen wurde, sich aber in einem guten Zustand befindet. Der Einband weist nur sehr geringfügige Beschädigungen auf, wie z.B. kleinere Schrammen, er hat aber weder Löcher, noch ist er eingerissen. Bei gebundenen Büchern ist der Schutzumschlag möglicherweise nicht mehr vorhanden. Die Bindung weist geringfügige Gebrauchsspuren auf. Die Mehrzahl der Seiten ist unbeschädigt, das heißt, es gibt kaum Knitter oder Einrisse, es wurden nur in geringem Maße Bleistiftunterstreichungen im Text vorgenommen, es gibt keine Textmarkierungen und die Randbereiche sind nicht beschrieben. Alle Seiten sind vollständig vorhanden. Genauere Einzelheiten sowie eine Beschreibung eventueller Mängel entnehmen Sie bitte dem Angebot des Verkäufers.

Praise for Optimal Illusions: "A fascinating book, both deeply researched and deeply felt, Optimal Illusions is an elegy to all we've sacrificed to the religion of efficiency and economies of scale. But it is also a quietly hopeful guide to the more human, interdependent, imperfect yet uplifting world that might come next." --Oliver Burkeman, New York Times bestselling author of Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals "Combining her training as a mathematician with a keen critical eye, Coco Krumme provides a deep and arresting look into the outsized role of optimization in our everyday lives. An incredibly timely book!" --Cal Newport, New York Times bestselling author of Digital Minimalism and A World Without Email "Are you tired of excess rationalism and optimization? Do you suspect there is something more to life? If so, Optimal Illusions is your preferred guide to some fascinating and more robust new perspectives." --Tyler Cowen, New York Times bestselling author of The Great Stagnation
Synopsis
Optimisation is the driving principle of our modern world. We now can manufacture, transport, and organise things more cheaply and faster than ever. Optimised models underly everything from supply chains and airplane schedules to dating site matches. We strive for efficiency in our daily lives, obsessed with productivity and optimal performance. How did a mathematical concept take on such outsized cultural shape? And what is lost, when efficiency is gained? This sharp, character-driven narrative traces the history of optimisation from its roots in America's founding principles through the work of Manhattan project scientists, Silicon Valley techno-utopians, lifestyle gurus, oil tycoons, wildlife ecologists, sugar beet farmers, and poker players. It turns a keen eye to the technologies and mathematical assumptions that have come to underlie not just our material reality, but what we make of it. Coco Krumme's work in mathematical modeling has made her acutely aware of optimisation's overreach. Streamlined systems are less resilient. They limit our options and narrow our perspectives. Living in an optimised society can feel oppressive and profoundly inhumane. Optimal Illusions exposes the sizable bargains we have made in the name of optimisation, and asks us to consider what comes next., How optimization took over the world and the urgent case for a new approach Optimization is the driving principle of our modern world. We now can manufacture, transport, and organize things more cheaply and faster than ever. Optimized models underlie everything from airline schedules to dating site matches. We strive for efficiency in our daily lives, obsessed with productivity and optimal performance. How did a mathematical concept take on such outsize cultural shape? And what is lost when efficiency is gained? Optimal Illusions traces the fascinating history of optimization from its roots in America's founding principles to its modern manifestations, found in colorful stories of oil tycoons, wildlife ecologists, Silicon Valley technologists, lifestyle gurus, sugar beet farmers, and poker players. Optimization is now deeply embedded in the technologies and assumptions that have come to comprise not only our material reality but what we make of it. Coco Krumme's work in mathematical modeling has made her acutely aware of optimization's overreach. Streamlined systems are less resilient and more at risk of failure. They limit our options and narrow our perspectives. The malaise of living in an optimized society can feel profoundly inhumane. Optimal Illusions exposes the sizable bargains we have made in the name of optimization and asks us to consider what comes next.

- i***l (1387)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufItem arrived in apparent good condition. Thanks.
- m***a (261)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufThe book was in exactly the condition described in the listing. I generally don’t buy books that only have one photo.It was shipped quickly. The book arrived via Amazon box truck and was in Amazon packaging, so I assume this seller also lists books on Amazon. I wish I had known this as I am trying to not shop Amazon. I just think other buyers might want to know this. Still, the book was packed with care in a bubble envelope. Shipping costs were reasonable, but there was no tracking available.The Anne of Green Gables Cookbook by Macdonald (Nr. 187076052775)
- l***l (648)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufThis item was reported mailed within 3 days of order. However, I did not receive it. I waited 4 days past expected delivery date before notifying seller. Seller reported that the item must have been list in the mail, and I received an apology and a refund the next day. Disappointed in but receiving the book, but I would definitely purchase from this seller againEtched in Stone: Archeological Discoveries that Prove the Bible by Bassett-Brody (Nr. 388177289478)
