Liftoff: Elon Musk and the Desperate Early Days That Launched SpaceX by Eric Berger

$37.99 NZD

Category: Business

The dramatic inside story of the first four historic flights that launched SpaceX-and Elon Musk-from a shaky startup into the world's leading edge rocket company. In 2006, SpaceX-a brand-new venture with fewer than 200 employees-rolled its first, single-engine rocket onto a launch pad at Kwajalein Atoll . After a groundbreaking launch from the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the Falcon 1 rocket designed by Elon Musk's engineers rose in the air for approximately thirty seconds. Then, its engine flamed out, and the rocket crashed back into the ocean.When he founded SpaceX, Elon Musk had only budgeted for three launches. After two more failed flight tests, and with only one Falcon 1 rocket left in its factory, SpaceX decided to try one last, dramatic launch. Over eight weeks, engineers worked furiously to prepare this final rocket. If it crashed and burned, so would SpaceX. In September 2008, SpaceX's last chance for success lifted off . . . and accelerated like a dream, soaring into orbit flawlessly.That success would launch a miraculous decade for the company, in which SpaceX grew from building a single-engine rocket to one with a staggering 27 engines; created two different spacecraft, and mastered reusable-rocket descents using mobile drone ships on the open seas. But these achievements would not have been possible without SpaceX's first four flight tests.Drawing on unparalleled access and exclusive interviews with dozens of former and current employees-engineers, designers, mechanics, and executives, including Elon Musk-Eric Berger tells the complete story of this foundational generation that transformed SpaceX into the world's leading space company. ...Show more

Change by Damon Centola

$37.99 NZD

Category: Business

This is a book about how change happens - how ideas spread successfully, and why sometimes they fail. We are living in a world of strong opinions that feels more divided every day. Why is that? Much of what we know about how ideas spread comes from bestselling books like Blink and Nudge who paint a com pelling picture of a world, in which "influencers" are king, "sticky" ideas "go viral," and good behavior is "nudged" forward. The problem is that the world that Malcolm Gladwell or Richard Thaler describe is a world where information spreads, but beliefs and behaviours stay the same, one of simple contagions, which spread quickly to everyone, but do not have any lasting impact on what we think or how we live. This mythbusting book shows that change doesn't spread like a simple virus. Stickiness isn't everything. Influencers aren't the key. And Gladwell's "law of the few" from The Tipping Point is fully debunked. It is full of great case studies such as:Why Twitter took off, whilst Google has failed to create a social media platform of its own, despite multiple attempts. How Lord Kitchener recruited 2 million volunteers for the British Army at the start of the 1st World War. And how and why huge social movements like the Arab Spring and Black Lives Matter took off when they did. And, like the best smart thinking - it is written by the most qualified academic in the field: Damon Centola is director of Network Dynamics at the University of Pennsylvania (and has previously taught at MIT and Harvard). And this book is based on on 20 years of his groundbreaking research. ...Show more

Backable: The Surprising Truth Behind What Makes People Take a Bet on You by Suneel Gupta

$34.99 NZD

Category: Business

'The most successful people aren't just brilliant . . . they're backable. This is the quality I look for most in leaders I recruit and entrepreneurs I fund - now I have a great name for it and a playbook for what it takes. Whether you want to get ahead inside a company or build a start-up from the groun d up, this fascinating book is a must-read.' - Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn No one ever makes it alone. What is it about certain people that makes us want to take a bet on them? As it turns out, it's not what you think. Backability is not driven by having the best experience, the finest pedigree or the most innovative ideas. In fact, many highly successful people are backed long before they are qualified. We tend to view these people as lucky. But the decision to back them is neither an accident nor a mistake, and rarely the result of good luck. Drawing from his own business experience, countless interviews with some of tech's biggest innovators and compelling case studies of classic success stories such as Howard Schultz and Elon Musk, Gupta breaks down the qualities of backable people. Backable pulls back the curtain on the elusive x-factor that some people just seem to have and offers concrete tools like crafting the right pitch and scaling the vision for a project. Anyone from aspiring entrepreneurs to start-up stars can master these skills and jumpstart their next big idea. ...Show more
