New Releases by Yuval Noah Harari

The fourth and final volume in the Sapiens: A Graphic History series—the illustrated adaptation of the internationally bestselling phenomenon—is a magnificent whistlestop tour through the scientific and industrial revolutions during which rapid scientific advancements transform the social order, usher in modern capitalism, and lead us to our own technological age and the dawn of artificial intelligence. Until 1500 AD, Homo sapiens had reached a plateau of medical, military, and economic power, focusing their resources on preserving a social order that had existed for centuries. So, how did we go from medieval scrolls to ebooks; abacuses to computers? From the Santa Maria to nuclear subs; the earth to the moon? As Yuval Noah Harari shows, the key to jumpstarting the Scientific Revolution was one major discovery: ignorance. Ignorance—coupled with curiosity—drove the pursuit to acquire new knowledge. This pursuit kicked off an endless cycle spurred by science, politics, and capitalism—a feedback loop that has brought us to the brink of a new sort of intelligence poised to supersede humanity as we know it. Grafting onto Part 4 of the original Sapiens book, Sapiens: A Graphic History, Volume 4 examines how a shift toward scientific thinking has transformed human history. In the sixteenth century, science overtook religion and philosophy as the dominant way of understanding the world—fueling imperialism and colonialism, the Industrial Revolution, and the unraveling of old social and political structures. These revolutions resulted in scientific and technological inventions ad infinitum, each new discovery both a tool and a weapon. Taking us from the sixteenth century through today, Volume 4 also looks ahead, asking how breakthroughs like artificial intelligence might transform human consciousness and the future of our species. Like the three volumes before it, this final installment in the Sapiens: A Graphic History series is an engaging, insightful, and colorful retelling of the story of humankind for curious minds of all ages. Once again, Yuval Noah Harari, David Vandermeulen, and Daniel Casanave present the complicated story of humankind with wit, empathy, and originality. This final volume can be browsed through on its own or read in sequence with the previous books.

In the third book in the New York Times bestselling series from Yuval Noah Harari, explore how different ancient civilizations united and created countries and cultures we have today! How do you become friends with your enemies? The answer to that is one of the strangest tales you’ll ever hear. And it’s a true story! Books, movies, and video games are full of stories about wars, battles, and empires, but where did all these conflicts come from? More than 2,000 years ago, humans collaborated, exchanged stories, and married those from different lands. New cities and cultures were formed, and languages and religions were shared. But sometimes our differences become bigger than the things that unite us, turning us from neighbors to enemies. From exchanging food and traveling across oceans to building empires and developing religions, prepare to explore how early civilizations interacted with each other and shaped the way we are today. In Unstoppable Us, Volume 1 and 2, acclaimed author Yuval Noah Harari explored the early history of humankind and how human society flourished. In Volume 3, he is back with a captivating story of how cities formed and grew. His dynamic writing is accompanied by a map, timeline, and full-color illustrations, bringing this amazing story of our past to life.

The third volume of Sapiens: A Graphic History: the epic, beautifully illustrated graphic history of humankind, based on Yuval Noah Harari's internationally bestselling phenomenon.

New York Times Readers’ Pick: Top 100 Books of the 21st Century The tenth anniversary edition of the internationally bestselling phenomenon that cemented Yuval Noah Harari as one of the most prominent historians of our time—featuring a new afterword from the author. One hundred thousand years ago, at least six human species inhabited the earth. Today there is just one. Us. Homo sapiens. How did our species succeed in the battle for dominance? Why did our foraging ancestors come together to create cities and kingdoms? How did we come to believe in gods, nations, and human rights; to trust money, books, and laws; and to be enslaved by bureaucracy, timetables, and consumerism? And what will our world be like in the millennia to come? In Sapiens, Professor Yuval Noah Harari spans the whole of human history, from the very first humans to walk the earth to the radical—and sometimes devastating—breakthroughs of the Cognitive, Agricultural, and Scientific Revolutions. Drawing on insights from biology, anthropology, paleontology, and economics, and incorporating full-color illustrations throughout the text, he explores how the currents of history have shaped our human societies, the animals and plants around us, and even our personalities. Can we ever free our behavior from the legacy of our ancestors? And what, if anything, can we do to influence the course of the centuries to come? Bold, wide-ranging, and provocative, Sapiens integrates history and science to challenge everything we thought we knew about being human: our thoughts, our actions, our heritage...and our future.

Con una nuova postfazione di Yuval Noah Harari, che riflette sui nuovi sviluppi dell''ultimo decennio. Centomila anni fa almeno sei specie di umani abitavano la Terra. Erano animali insignificanti, il cui impatto sul pianeta non era superiore a quello di gorilla, lucciole o meduse. Oggi sulla Terra c''è una sola specie di umani. Noi: Homo sapiens. E siamo i signori del pianeta. Il segreto del nostro successo è l''immaginazione. Siamo gli unici animali capaci di parlare di cose che esistono solo nelle nostre fantasie: come le divinità, le nazioni, le leggi e i soldi. Sapiens. Breve storia dell''umanità spiega come ci siamo associati per creare città, regni e imperi; come abbiamo costruito la fiducia nei soldi, nei libri e nelle leggi; come ci siamo ritrovati schiavi della burocrazia, del consumismo e della ricerca della felicità.

La storia di come le reti di informazione hanno fatto e disfatto il nostro mondo. Dall''autore del bestseller mondiale Sapiens. Negli ultimi centomila anni, noi Sapiens abbiamo accumulato un enorme potere. Eppure, nonostante tutte le nostre scoperte, invenzioni e conquiste, oggi ci troviamo in una crisi esistenziale. Il mondo è sull''orlo del collasso ecologico. La disinformazione dilaga. E ci stiamo buttando a capofitto nell''era dell''intelligenza artificiale, una nuova rete di informazioni che minaccia di annientarci. Perché siamo così autodistruttivi? Nexus ci porta a guardare attraverso la lente della storia umana per considerare come il flusso di informazioni ha plasmato noi e il nostro mondo. Partendo dall''età della pietra, passando per la canonizzazione della Bibbia, la caccia alle streghe della prima età moderna, lo stalinismo, il nazismo e la rinascita del populismo di oggi, Yuval Noah Harari ci chiede di considerare il complesso rapporto tra informazione e verità, burocrazia e mitologia, saggezza e potere. Esplora come le diverse società e i sistemi politici nel corso della storia hanno utilizzato le informazioni per raggiungere i loro obiettivi, nel bene e nel male. E ci consente di affrontare con maggior consapevolezza le scelte urgenti che ci attendono oggi che l''intelligenza non umana minaccia la nostra stessa esistenza. L''informazione non è la materia prima della verità né una semplice arma. Nexus esplora la via di mezzo tra questi estremi e, nel farlo, riscopre la nostra comune umanità.

Miksi toiset ihmiset saavat määrätä toisia? Sapiens-teoksellaan maailmanmaineeseen kiitänyt Yuval Noah Harari jatkaa toisessa nuorille suunnatussa Pysäyttämätön ihminen -kirjassaan ihmiskunnan kiehtovan historian luotaamista. Neliosaisen Pysäyttämätön ihminen -sarjan toisessa kirjassa kysytään, miksi maailma on niin epäoikeudenmukainen paikka. Mistä sai alkunsa se, että jotkut ihmiset ovat kuninkaita ja johtajia ja muut suostuvat siihen? Sarjan aloitusosasta Kuinka valloitimme maailman sanottua: ”Kirja on kirjoitettu varhaisnuorille, mutta jestas, sen ahnaisee kernaasti aikuinenkin.” Sanna Kangasniemi, Helsingin Sanomat ”Hyvä tietokirja.

A New York Times Bestseller • From world-renowned historian and philosopher Yuval Noah Harari, the author of Sapiens, comes the second volume in the bestselling Unstoppable Us middle-grade series that traces human development from hunter-gatherer societies to cities and empires. Humans may have taken over the world, but what happened next? How did our hunter-gatherer ancestors become village farmers? Why were kingdoms and laws established? How did we go from being the rulers of Earth to the rulers of each other? And why isn’t the world fair? The answer to all of that is one of the strangest tales you’ll ever hear. And it’s a true story. From cultivating land and sharing resources to building pyramids and paying taxes, prepare to discover how humans created civilization — and suffered the consequences for it. Acclaimed author Yuval Noah Harari is back with another expertly crafted story of how humans became "unstoppable," complete with maps, a timeline, and full-color illustrations that bring his dynamic unputdownable writing to life.

De un renombrado historiador llega una narrativa innovadora sobre la creación y evolución de la humanidad, un bestseller internacional número uno, que explora las formas en que la biología y la historia nos han definido y mejorado nuestra comprensión de lo que significa ser "humano". Hace cien mil años, al menos seis especies diferentes de humanos habitaban la Tierra. Sin embargo, hoy sólo existe uno: el homo sapiens. Que le paso a los otros? ¿Y qué nos puede pasar? La mayoría de los libros sobre la historia de la humanidad siguen un enfoque histórico o biológico, pero el Dr. Yuval Noah Harari rompe el molde con este libro muy original que comienza hace unos 70.000 años con la aparición de la cognición moderna. Desde examinar el papel que han desempeñado los humanos en evolución en el ecosistema global hasta trazar el surgimiento de los imperios, Sapiens integra la historia y la ciencia para reconsiderar narrativas aceptadas, conectar desarrollos pasados con preocupaciones contemporáneas y examinar eventos específicos dentro del contexto de ideas más amplias. Harari también nos obliga a mirar hacia adelante, porque en las últimas décadas los humanos han comenzado a alterar las leyes de la selección natural que han gobernado la vida durante los últimos cuatro mil millones de años. Estamos adquiriendo la capacidad de diseñar no sólo el mundo que nos rodea, sino también a nosotros mismos. ¿A dónde nos lleva esto y en qué queremos llegar a ser? Con 27 fotografías, 6 mapas y 25 ilustraciones/diagramas, este trabajo provocativo y revelador seguramente generará debate y es una lectura esencial para los aficionados a Jared Diamond, James Gleick, Matt Ridley, Robert Wright y Sharon Moalem.

Sapiensin tekijän sarja nuorille alkaa! Sapiens – Ihmisen lyhyt historia -teoksellaan tietokirjallisuuden supertähdeksi noussut Yuval Noah Harari aloittaa uuden sarjan, jossa hän kertoo ihmiskunnan historiasta varhaisnuorille. Me ihmiset emme ole vahvoja kuin leijonat, emme osaa uida kuin delfiinit, eikä meillä totta vie ole siipiä! Kuinka me siis päädyimme hallitsemaan maailmaa? Tähän kysymykseen vastaa Yuval Noah Hararin neliosaiseksi kasvava Pysäyttämätön ihminen -sarja. Värikkäästi piirroskuvitetut kirjat käsittelevät Hararin helposti lähestyttävään tyyliin huumorin ja tarinoiden kautta ihmisen historiaa eri näkökulmista, kognitiivisen vallankumouksen ajoista aina lähitulevaisuuteen ja hakkerointiin Yuval Noah Harari (s. 1976) on israelilainen historioitsija, jonka yleistajuisia teoksia ihmiskunnasta ja maailmasta on myyty yli 35 miljoonaa kappaletta 65 kielellä.

Ooit was de mens een doodgewone diersoort waar de andere dieren zich niets van aantrokken. Nu is de mens de baas over de wereld... Hoe kan dat? In dit boek ontdek je welke superkracht ons zo machtig heeft gemaakt. En je ontdekt nog veel meer: bijvoorbeeld hoe het komt dat veel kinderen bang zijn voor monsters onder hun bed en waarom je snoep zo lekker vindt. Maar je komt er ook achter waarom de mammoeten zijn uitgestorven en waarom er nog maar één mensensoort bestaat. Door onze grote macht zijn er grote problemen gekomen. Maar als je die macht goed gebruikt, kun je er ook heel mooie dingen mee doen. Jij ook! Yuval Noah Harari werd wereldwijd bekend met zijn boek Sapiens. Volgens veel mensen het belangrijkste boek dat ze ooit gelezen hebben. Met tekeningen in kleur van de Spaanse illustrator Ricard Zaplana Ruiz. Dit e-book is alleen geschikt voor tablets in verband met de kleurenillustraties. U kunt dit niet lezen op een zwart-wit e-reader.

This second volume of Sapiens: A Graphic History, the full-color graphic adaptation of Yuval Noah Harari’s #1 New York Times bestseller, focuses on the Agricultural Revolution—when humans fell into a trap we’ve yet to escape: working harder and harder with diminishing returns. What if humanity’s major woes—war, plague, famine and inequality—originated 12,000 years ago, when Homo sapiens converted from nomads to settlers, in pursuit of the fantasy of productivity and efficiency? What if by seeking to control plants and animals, humans ended up being controlled by kings, priests, and Kafkaesque bureaucracy? Volume 2 of Sapiens: A Graphic History–The Pillars of Civilization explores a crucial chapter in human development: the Agricultural Revolution. This is the story of how wheat took over the world; how an unlikely marriage between a god and a bureaucrat created the first empires; and how war, plague, famine, and inequality became an intractable feature of the human condition. But it’s not all doom and gloom with this book’s cast of entertaining characters and colorful humorous scenes. Yuval, Zoe, Prof. Saraswati, Cindy and Bill (now farmers), Detective Lopez, and Dr. Fiction, all introduced in Volume 1, once again travel the length and breadth of human history, this time investigating the impact the Agricultural Revolution has had on our species. The cunning Mephisto shows them how to ensnare humans, King Hammurabi lays down the law, and Confucius explains harmonious society. 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; the story of urbanization is portrayed as a travel brochure, offering discount journeys to ancient Babylon and China; and the history of inequality unfolds in a superhero detective story; with guest appearances by historical and cultural personalities throughout such as Thomas Jefferson, Scarlett O'Hara, Margaret Thatcher, and John Lennon. Sapiens: A Graphic History, Volume 2 is a radical, witty and colorful retelling of the story of humankind for adults and young adults, and can be read on its own or in sequence with Volume I.

IL SECONDOVOLUME DELLA VERSIONE ILLUSTRATA DEL BESTSELLER INTERNAZIONALE SULLA STORIA DELL''UOMO. Quando Homo sapiens addomesticò alcuni animali e certe piante, poté abbandonare lo stile di vita nomade per adottarne uno sedentario. Vivere insieme agli altri stimolò la nascita di credenze e miti condivisi. Grazie a un immaginario comune i gruppi umani, nel frattempo accresciuti di numero, si lanciarono in progetti sempre più ambiziosi come la fondazione di città e regni, dando vita alle prime civiltà della storia. Questo secondo volume del graphic novel tratto dal bestseller Sapiens. Da animali a dèi continua la narrazione là dove Yuval Noah Harari l''aveva lasciata: Homo sapiens è l''unico a essere sopravvissuto all''estinzione delle altre specie umane e di gran parte dei grandi mammiferi, ed è pronto a conquistare il mondo. Ma si trattò davvero di una marcia trionfale? A questa domanda risponderà un gruppo assai eterogeneo di personaggi, tra cui lo stesso prof. Harari, che con autoironia interpreta se stesso, Doctor Fiction, con una passione a tratti pericolosa per le finzioni e i miti collettivi, il diabolico Mefistofele, che nei panni di un''umile spiga di grano cambierà il destino dell''uomo, la rigorosa ma non sempre equa Lady Justice, e infine l''acuto e gentile avvocato praghese Franz K. che ci aiuterà a vedere al di là del labirinto di regole in cui ci muoviamo – o rimaniamo intrappolati. Con Sapiens. I pilastri della civiltà l''analisi storica di Harari trova nel brio narrativo del racconto a fumetti un adattamento divertente e intelligente che non mancherà di entusiasmare tutti gli appassionati del cammino dell''uomo dall''antichità ai giorni nostri.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In Sapiens, he explored our past; in Homo Deus he looked to our future. Now, one of the most innovative thinkers on the planet turns to the present to make sense of today''s most pressing issues. Religion, terrorism, war, politics, fake news, human migration, the environment, nationalism. 21 Lessons for the 21st Century is a probing investigation into the big subjects that we are confronting on a daily basis in the media and in our lives, and the issues of crucial importance to understand as we move into the unchartered territory of the future. As technology advances faster than our understanding of it, hacking becomes a tactic of war, terrorism and fundamentalism rise, and the world feels more polarized than ever, Harari makes sense of it all and raises the important questions we need to ask ourselves if we are to survive. In 21 accessible chapters that are both provocative and profound, he provides advice on how to think about these topics and how to act in order to prepare for a future unlike anything we can dream of. Few writers of nonfiction have captured the imaginations of millions of readers in quite the astonishing way Harari has managed. His unique ability to look at where we have come from and where we are going has gained him fans from every corner of the globe. There is an immediacy and accessibility to this new book that makes it essential reading for anyone interested in navigating the world today.

Ensaio que explora os projetos, sonhos e pesadelos que vão dar forma ao século XXI, da erradicação da fome ao fim da guerra, passando pela vida artificial. Chegámos ao próximo passo evolucional: Homo Deus. Homo Deus explora os projetos, sonhos e pesadelos que darão forma ao século XXI - desde o vencer da morte à vida artificial. Sucessor do bestseller internacional Sapiens: História Breve da Humanidade, coloca as questões fundamentais: para onde seguir a partir daqui? Como proteger o mundo dos poderes destrutivos do ser humano? A guerra desapareceu. É mais provável cometer suicídio do que morrer num conflito armado. A fome está a desaparecer. É mais alto o risco de obesidade do que de fome. A morte tornou-se um simples problema técnico. Não alcançámos a igualdade - mas estamos perto de alcançar a imortalidade. A história começou quando os homens inventaram os deuses e terminará quando os homens se transformarem em deuses. O que nos reserva o futuro? «De uma lucidez invejável (e alarmante), descreve os enormes desafios que temos pela frente, enquanto espécie, à medida que a tecnologia genética, a inteligência artificial e a robótica alteram profundamente as nossas relações humanas e com outras espécies. Uma leitura ainda mais voraz e importante do que a do seu já excelente Sapiens.» Kazuo Ishiguro, Prémio Nobel de Literatura 2017

¿Y si los humanos, doce mil años atrás, hubiésemos caído en una trampa de la que no hemos sido capaces de escapar? Sapiens. Una historia gráfica. Los pilares de la civilización explica cómo la especie Homo sapiens pasó de ser nómada a sedentaria y empezó a trabajar más duro sin por ello mejorar su calidad de vida. Revela cómo el trigo se apoderó del mundo; cómo un improbable matrimonio entre un dios y un burócrata dio lugar a los primeros imperios; cómo laguerra, el hambre, las enfermedades y la desigualdad se convirtieron en parte esencial de la condición humana, y por qué solo nosotros somos responsables de ello. ¿Desolador? No con el elenco de divertidos personajes que prosiguen con el increíble viaje emprendido en el primer volumen de esta novela gráfica, adaptación radical, ingeniosa y colorida de Sapiens. De animales a dioses, que ha vendido más de 21 millones de ejemplares en 65 idiomas. Los pilares de la civilización puede leerse como una continuación del primer volumen o de forma independiente, y pretende entretener a nuevos lectores y explorar de qué manera la biología y la historia nos han definido y nos han ayudado a comprender lo que significa ser « humano». Si quieres averiguar por qué estamos todos atrapados en los sueños de nuestros ancestros, este es tu libro.
