David Howell

    David Howell se consacre depuis près de 40 ans à l'étude et à l'enseignement des compétences intellectuelles et d'apprentissage. Parallèlement, il étudie et enseigne les arts martiaux. Ses passions sont nées de difficultés personnelles durant ses années de lycée, marquées par la maladie et un environnement familial difficile. Malade, il a été victime de harcèlement intense, et les abus ont affecté ses résultats scolaires, un enseignant le jugeant « trop stupide pour apprendre ». Howell sait comment surmonter ces défis et écrit pour partager ces stratégies avec autrui. Par son écriture, il vise à permettre aux lecteurs d'exploiter facilement leur intelligence pour réussir dans tous les domaines de la vie, en adoptant une approche analytique mais directe, axée sur des résultats optimaux.

      The greatest chess player of all time, Magnus Carlsen, and his friend, Grandmaster David Howell, explain how to win a chess game through perseverance. They show how you, in an equal starting position, can keep posing problems to your opponent and grind your opponent down until he cracks. New In Chess has converted this book from a popular Chessable video and MoveTrainer (R) course with the help of Carlsen and Howell. The lively conversations of the two friends translate very well into a highly instructive chess manual.

      Uniting Energy and the Environment to Avert Catastrophe

      In their provocative and original book, the authors argue that energy can become a tool for environmental protection, that energy and environment are not by definition in conflict with each other and that by pooling energy production and environmental protection ideas energy can be part of a solution rather than the problem. This book is firmly grounded in reality (given the demands of China, India and other developing economies) and makes specific proposals: a radical rethinking on energy investment strategies; massive incentives to develop alternative fuel technologies; a ground-breaking public awareness strategy to redirect consumers and policy-makers to embrace fundamental (though essentially painless) change in consumption patterns. The solutions that Howell and Nakhle offer are unapologetically offer short term. This is because they view the problems of climate security as short term. But their solutions have long term consequences. Their important and novel approach makes this book essential reading for an understanding of today's bewildering environmental debates.
