ZoneAlarm Anti-Ransomware
Protect your PC with the most advanced technology to keep hackers away from your data.
What Is Ransomware?
Ransomware is a type of malicious software that prevents the victims from accessing their
documents, pictures, databases and other files by encrypting them and demanding a ransom to
decrypt them back. A deadline is assigned for the ransom payment, and if the deadline passes, the
ransom demand doubles or files are permanently locked. Ransomware is an ever-increasing threat
worldwide, claiming a new victim every 10 seconds.
How We Protect You
ZoneAlarm Anti-Ransomware analyzes all suspicious activities on your PC. It detects Ransomware
attacks, blocks them and immediately restores any encrypted files. ZoneAlarm Anti-Ransomware is

The Red Book of Guerrilla Warfare Paperback – 28 Jan 2010
by Mao Zedong (Author)
This special edition contains the two most important essays by Mao on guerrilla warfare tactics in a
new, completely uncensored format.
As a revolutionary leader, Mao Zedong laid the economic, technological and cultural foundations of
modern China, transforming the country from an agrarian society into a major world power.
"Time Magazine" voted Mao Zedong as one of the 100 most influential figures of the last century. He
has often been described as both "brilliant and ruthless." His essays are described as "propaganda,"
and have historically been viewed as "subversive" and "revolutionary." They contain some of the
most practical and controversial warfare theory ever presented in essay form.
This special edition contains the translations completed for the US Military's internal library of Cold
War era propaganda; presented in a new, completely uncensored format. "The Red Book of Guerrilla
Warfare" contains:
1) "On Guerrilla Warfare" (full translation)
2) "Problems of Strategy in Guerrilla War against Japan" (full translation)

The how-to guide for exceptional management from the bottom up
The Effective Manager is a hands-on practical guide to great management at every level. Written by
the man behind Manager Tools, the world's number-one business podcast, this book distills the
author's 25 years of management training expertise into clear, actionable steps to start taking today.
First, you'll identify what "effective management" actually looks like: can you get the job done at a
high level? Do you attract and retain top talent without burning them out? Then you'll dig into the
four critical behaviors that make a manager great, and learn how to adjust your own behavior to be
the leader your team needs. You'll learn the four major tools that should be a part of every
manager's repertoire, how to use them, and even how to introduce them to the team in a
productive, non-disruptive way.
15 | P a g e
ART
Most management books are written for CEOs and geared toward improving corporate
management, but this book is expressly aimed at managers of any level—with a behavioral
framework designed to be tailored to your team's specific needs.
Understand your team's strengths, weaknesses, and goals in a meaningful way
Stop limiting feedback to when something goes wrong
Motivate your people to continuous improvement
Spread the work around and let people stretch their skills
Effective managers are good at the job and "good at people." The key is combining those skills to
foster your team's development, get better and better results, and maintain a culture of positive
productivity. The Effective Manager shows you how to turn good into great with clear, actionable,
expert guidance.

Welcome to the fourth edition of the Anti-Hacker Tool Kit. This is a book about the tools that hackers
use to attack and defend systems. Knowing how to conduct advanced configuration for an operating
system is a step toward being a hacker. Knowing how to infiltrate a system is a step along the same
path. Knowing how to monitor an attacker’s activity and defend a system are more points on the
path to hacking. In other words, hacking is more about knowledge and creativity than it is about
having a collection of tools.

Mein Kampf Paperback – Illustrated, 21 Nov 2007
by Adolf 卐Hitler卐 (Author, Contributor)
After 1944, Hitler's notorious book was not widely available until the hardback edition of this version
appeared in 1969. This paperback edition is intended primarily for students of 20th century German
history seeking to gain insight into its dominant figure from reading his own words. Ostensibly an
autobiography, the work comprises a melange of Hitler's political and racial ideas over two volumes,
"A Reckoning" and "The Nazi Movement". Described by D.C.Watt in his introduction as "lengthy,
dull, bombastic, repetitious and extremely badly written", it is nonetheless Hitler's only major work -
and its study is important to an understanding of how his ideas came to hold such sway over the
German people.

Metal Hurlant Collection 1 Vol. 2 Kindle Edition
Short Stories that appeared in the legendary magazine of the same name, and that inspired the TV
series, Metal Hurlant Chronicles. Métal Hurlant magazine was created in Paris in 1974 by Moebius,
Druillet and Dionnet, the founding fathers of Les Humanoïdes Associés. This movement soon
revolutionized the medium and inspired countless writers, artists and filmmakers the world over.
Versions in various languages flourished everywhere, including in the States with Heavy Metal. The
French version was eventually shut down in 1987. But in 2002, Humanoids relaunched a limited
publication of a 13-issue anthology, with one main goal: establishing a creative bridge between the
US and Europe. Includes stories written and illustrated by comic book stars Geoff Johns, Kurt Busiek,
Guy Davis, and Jerome Opena, among many others.

March: Book One: 1 Kindle & comiXology
by John Lewis (Author), Andrew Aydin (Author), Nate Powell (Illustrator)
Before he became a respected Congressman, John Lewis was clubbed, gassed, arrested over 40
times, and nearly killed by angry mobs and state police, all while nonviolently protesting racial
discrimination. He marched side-by-side with Martin Luther King as the youngest leader of the Civil
Rights Movement that would change a nation forever.
Now, experience John Lewis' incredible story first-hand, brought to life in a stunning graphic novel
trilogy. With co-writer Andrew Aydin and Eisner Award-winning artist Nate Powell, John Lewis'
MARCH tells the story of how a poor sharecropper's son helped transform America, from a
segregated schoolhouse to the 1963 March on Washington and beyond.
BOOK ONE spans John Lewis' youth in rural Alabama, his life-changing meeting with Dr. King, the
birth of the Nashville Student Movement, and their battle to tear down segregation through
nonviolent sit-ins, building to a stunning climax on the steps of City Hall.

My father had thirteen wives and more than fifty children . . .
This is the haunting memoir of Anna LeBaron, daughter of the notorious polygamist and murderer
Ervil LeBaron. Ervil’s criminal activity kept Anna and her siblings constantly on the run from the FBI.
Often starving, the children lived in a perpetual state of fear—and despite their numbers, Anna
always felt alone. Would she ever find a place she truly belonged? Would she ever be anything other
than the polygamist’s daughter?

Terra Nova: Global Revolution and the Healing of Love.
Terra Nova is the essence of over forty years of work on the question of whether humanity and the
Earth can be healed. It shows how a morphogenetic field of peace is organized from within, and to
what forces it could connect in order to oppose the global forces of violence and so make possible a
future without war.

“Massive thoughts must be followed by massive actions. There is nothing ordinary about The 10X
Rule. It is simply what it says: 10 times the thoughts and 10 times the actions of other people… You
never do what others do.
You must be willing to do what they won’t do—and even take actions you might deem
“unreasonable.” - Grant Cardone

The Criminal Personality is a seminal work that provides challenge to mental health professionals to
alter their preconceptions in dealing with criminals, and gives correctional counselors a blueprint to
begin the serious work of criminal rehabilitation. One by one the cherished myths of sociology and
psychology regarding the origins of criminality are discarded, since the authors find that
rationalizations of broken family, racial oppression, bad companions, and lack opportunity' are
utilized by criminals to justify continued nonresponsibility for their own behavior.--Robert B. Mills

50 Years On, One of the Most Controversial Psych Experiments Gets the Same Creepy Results
People will still hurt others to obey orders.
If you've ever studied social science, you've most likely heard about the Milgram experiments - the
infamous series of experiments that started in 1961, and concluded that most volunteers would
harm another person if an authority figure told them to.
It's become one of the most controversial and best-known psychology experiments of all time - and
now, more than 50 years later, a team of researchers in Poland has repeated a modern version, and
found that the results still hold true.

The Legacy Rule
J. Nathan
Inkwater Press, 2014
J. Nathan’s book The Legacy Rule concerns itself with how our society needs to revise not just its
priorities but it’s reasoning. It’s rare to read a liberal jeremiad in this era of aggressive populism, but
Nathan’s book isn’t just some political screed. Rather, Nathan has crafted a very specific, targeted
extended essay centered around making the case for what he terms the Legacy Rule.
Nathan’s Legacy Rule is meant as a moral companion with the Golden Rule. In it’s simplest
formulation, the precept is “To best love your children, create no more or no more than one or two.”
Nathan is clearly mining the zero-population growth territory that gained traction in the 1960s and
70s. Although mostly discounted in contemporary circles or, rather, ignored, Nathan makes a case
for revising our understanding of how and why we procreate.

Everything drug cartels do to survive and prosper they’ve learnt from big business – brand value and
franchising from McDonald’s, supply chain management from Walmart, diversification from Coca-
Cola. Whether it’s human resourcing, R&D, corporate social responsibility, off-shoring, problems
with e-commerce or troublesome changes in legislation, the drug lords face the same strategic
concerns companies like Ryanair or Apple. So when the drug cartels start to think like big business,
the only way to understand them is using economics.
In Narconomics, Tom Wainwright meets everyone from coca farmers in secret Andean locations,
deluded heads of state in presidential palaces, journalists with a price on their head, gang leaders
who run their empires from dangerous prisons and teenage hitmen on city streets - all in search of
the economic truth.

Unfortunately, today's educational system up through college micromanages the learning process,
thereby doing little to prepare you for independent study. How do you go about learning something
on your own?
If you're new to this site, Metacademy is a tool to help you learn things on your own, primarily in
machine learning and probabilistic AI. Perhaps the most frustrating part of teaching yourself is
tracking down the prerequisite concepts and finding resources where you can learn them.
Metacademy tackles this by using a dependency graph of concepts to give you a step-by-step plan to
learn any particular thing. Prerequisites are only one piece of the puzzle, though; this roadmap is
meant to help fill in the rest of the puzzle.

PPLAAF aims to reduce the risks that whistleblowers commonly face by providing a highly secure

provide advice, defense and in some cases legal representation for whistleblowers.
All the while, we are pursuing the broader objectives of investigative journalism, public advocacy,

Night Sky with Exit Wounds
An extraordinary debut from a young Vietnamese American, Night Sky with Exit Wounds is a book of
poetry unlike any other. Steeped in war and cultural upheaval and wielding a fresh new language,
Vuong writes about the most profound subjects – love and loss, conflict, grief, memory and desire –
and attends to them all with lines that feel newly-minted, graceful in their cadences, passionate and
hungry in their tender, close attention: ‘…the chief of police/facedown in a pool of Coca-Cola./A
palm-sized photo of his father soaking/beside his left ear.’ This is an unusual, important book: both
gentle and visceral, vulnerable and assured, and its blend of humanity and power make it one of the
best first collections of poetry to come out of America in years.
‘These are poems of exquisite beauty, unashamed of romance, and undaunted by looking directly
into the horrors of war, the silences of history. One of the most important debut collections for a
generation.’ Andrew McMillan

We Should All Be Feminists Kindle Edition
by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (Author)
A personal and powerful essay from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the bestselling author of
Americanah and Half of a Yellow Sun, based on her 2013 TEDx Talk of the same name.
‘I would like to ask that we begin to dream about and plan for a different world. A fairer world. A
world of happier men and happier women who are truer to themselves. And this is how to start: we
must raise our daughters differently. We must also raise our sons differently…’
What does “feminism” mean today?
In this personal, eloquently argued essay – adapted from her much-admired Tedx talk of the same
name – Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie offers readers a unique definition of feminism for the twenty-
first century, one rooted in inclusion and awareness. Drawing extensively on her own experiences
and her deep understanding of the often masked realities of sexual politics, here is one remarkable
author’s exploration of what it means to be a woman now – an of-the-moment rallying cry for why
we should all be feminists.

My Sister Milly Hardcover –
by Gemma Dowler (Author)
Everyone thinks they know the story of Milly Dowler.
Haunting headlines about the missing schoolgirl splashed across front pages. The family's worst fears
realised when her body was found months later. The years of waiting for the truth, only to learn that
the killer, known to the police, lived just yards from where Milly had vanished. The parents subjected
to horrific psychological torture at a trial orchestrated by the murderer. And the shocking revelation
of what journalists would do for a story - criminal acts that brought down a national newspaper.
But these bare facts hide the true story.
In My Sister Milly, Gemma Dowler shares the heartbreaking account of Milly's disappearance, the
suspicions that fell on the family, the fatal errors made by the police, and the media's obsession that
focused relentlessly on every personal, intimate and emotional aspect of the Dowlers' lives. It is the
story of two stolen childhoods - Milly's and Gemma's - and about the love that kept the family
together as they struggled with terrible darkness and injustice.
However, this book is a story of hope and recovery.
It's taken fifteen years of pain for the family to find their voice. The family has worked hard and has
received intensive therapy to recover from the trauma of Milly's murder. Their story shows that
whatever suffering you endure in life, there is always hope, and there is always love.
Now, for the first time, Gemma tells their story and that of the real Milly. Above all, in this book the
family want to bring back to life their incredible daughter and sister. Now, finally, the truth about
Milly Dowler can never be denied.

UNTOLD: The Daniel Morgan Murder Exposed
Private Investigator Daniel Morgan was murdered in cold blood, with an axe to the head, in the car
park of the Golden Lion pub, Sydenham, south London, on 10th March 1987.
Thirty years on, after five failed police investigations and an ongoing inquiry, Daniel's murder is now
the most investigated in British history - yet it remains unsolved.
The phone hacking scandal that closed the News of the World was big, but that was just the tip of
the iceberg. At the bottom of that iceberg of 'dark arts' - hacking, bugging and bribing bent cops - is
the body of Daniel Morgan. The truth behind his killing is obscured by a web of corruption and
cover-ups.
Written by Daniel's brother Alastair, with investigative journalist Peter Jukes, Untold marks the 30th
anniversary of the murder once described by an Assistant Commissioner of the Met as 'one of the
most disgraceful episodes in the entire history of the Metropolitan Police Service.'
Going beyond the number one hit podcast of the same name, this is the inside story in full. Including
fresh revelations, new evidence, all the latest findings and, at its heart, the tragic story of a family
whose lives have been torn apart in the search for answers.
If you haven't heard of this story, ask yourself, why?

Crane Lamp
The Crane Lamp is a playful, kinetic light that can change dramatically in height and shape to suit
The Crane Lamp—a playful, movable light by London-based design studio Animaro—is now available
on Kickstarter here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/animaro/crane-the-kinetic-lamp
The lamp changes dramatically in height and shape, with a form inspired by the shape of a Crane
bird extending its neck to catch prey. In our age of digital interfaces and hidden technology, the
Crane Lamp celebrates mechanics and invites users to enjoy the simplicity of touch and motion.
The lamp is available in two sizes, one to sit on the floor and another to light up a desk. The scissor
structure of the floor version is composed of 26 hardwood parts, which enable the lamp to expand
and contract. Its weight is perfectly counterbalanced by the strength of the spring, ensuring that
lamp will hold its shape at any height. Raising the lamp is easy, it's just a case of pushing or pulling
any part of the structure and the lamp will glide into its new position.

The Grim Sleeper: The Lost Women of South Central Hardcover – 13 Jun 2017
by Christine Pelisek (Author)
The definitive book on the hunt to find the most ruthless serial killer in Los Angeles' history, told by
the fearless reporter who broke the story
In 2006, Christine Pelisek broke the story of a terrifying serial killer who went unchecked in Los
Angeles for decades. Two years later, in her cover article for L.A. Weekly, Pelisek dubbed him "The
Grim Sleeper" for his long break between murders. The killer preyed on a community devastated by
crime and drugs and left behind a trail of bodies--all women of color, all murdered in a similar
fashion, and all discarded in the alleys of Los Angeles.
The case of the Grim Sleeper is unforgettably singular. But it also tells a wider story about homicide
investigations in areas beset by poverty, gang violence, and despair; about how a serial killer could
continue his grisly work for two decades in part due to society's lack of concern for his chosen
victims; and about the power and tenacity of those women's families and the detectives who
refused to let the case go cold.
No one knows this story better than Pelisek, the reporter who followed it for more than ten years.
Based on extensive interviews, reportage, and information never released to the public, The Grim
Sleeper captures the long, bumpy road to justice in one of the most startling true crime stories of
our generation.

The Exile: The Flight of Osama bin Laden
The extraordinary inside story of Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda in the years after 9/11.
Following the attacks on the Twin Towers, Osama bin Laden, the most wanted man in the world,
eluded intelligence services and Special Forces units for almost a decade. Using remarkable, first-
person testimony from bin Laden's family and closest aides, The Exile chronicles this astonishing tale
of evasion, collusion and isolation.
In intimate detail, The Exile reveals not only the frantic attack on Afghanistan by the United States in
their hunt for bin Laden but also how and why, when they found his family soon after, the Bush
administration rejected the chance to seize them. It charts the formation of ISIS, and uncovers the
wasted opportunity to kill its Al Qaeda-sponsored founder; it explores the development of the CIA's
torture programme; it details Iran's secret shelter for bin Laden's family and Al Qaeda's military
council; and it captures the power struggles, paranoia and claustrophobia within the Abbottabad
house prior to the raid.
A landmark work of investigation and reportage, The Exile is as authoritative as it is compelling, and
essential reading for anyone concerned with history, security and future relations with the Islamic
world.

The March Of Folly: From Troy to Vietnam
From the distinguished American historian whose work has been acclaimed around the world, a
major new book that penetrates one of the most bizarre and fascinating paradoxes in history: the
persistent pursuit by governments of policies contrary to their own intersts. Across the march of
thirty centuries, Tuchman brings to life the dramatic events which constitute folly's hallmark in
government; the fall of Troy, symbolic prototype of freely chosen disaster; the Protestant secession,
provoked by six decades of spectacularly corrupt papcy; the British forfeiture of the American
colonies; and America's catastrophic thirty year involvement with vietnam.
The March of Folly, a work of profound and poignant relevance today, is breathtaking in its scope,
originality and vision, and represents the writing of Barbara Tuchman at it's finest.

Stealing Fire: How Silicon Valley, the Navy SEALs, and Maverick Scientists Are Revolutionizing the
Way We Live and Work Hardcover – 23 Mar 2017
It’s the biggest revolution you’ve never heard of, and it’s hiding in plain sight. Over the past decade,
Silicon Valley executives like Eric Schmidt and Elon Musk, Special Operators like the Navy SEALs and
the Green Berets, and maverick scientists like Sasha Shulgin and Amy Cuddy have turned everything
we thought we knew about high performance upside down. Instead of grit, better habits, or 10,000
hours, these trailblazers have found a surprising short cut. They're harnessing rare and controversial
states of consciousness to solve critical challenges and outperform the competition.
New York Times bestselling author Steven Kotler and high performance expert Jamie Wheal spent
four years investigating the leading edges of this revolution—from the home of SEAL Team Six to the
Googleplex, the Burning Man festival, Richard Branson’s Necker Island, Red Bull’s training center,
Nike’s innovation team, and the United Nations’ Headquarters. And what they learned was stunning:
In their own ways, with differing languages, techniques, and applications, every one of these groups
has been quietly seeking the same thing: the boost in information and inspiration that altered states
provide.
Today, this revolution is spreading to the mainstream, fueling a trillion dollar underground economy
and forcing us to rethink how we can all lead richer, more productive, more satisfying lives. Driven
by four accelerating forces—psychology, neurobiology, technology and pharmacology—we are
gaining access to and insights about some of the most contested and misunderstood terrain in
history. Stealing Fire is a provocative examination of what’s actually possible; a guidebook for
anyone who wants to radically upgrade their life.

Our Numbered Days – 1 May 2017
by Neil Hilborn
65 | P a g e
ART
When you're dumb enough for long enough, you're gonna meet someone too smart to love you, and
they're gonna love you anyway, and it's gonna go so poorly," Neil Hilborn writes in his debut full-
length collection, Our Numbered Days.
In 2013, Hilborn's poem OCD went viral, and has amassed over 11 million views to date. While this
collection ruminates on love, heartbreak, and mental illness, these poems are anything but
saccharine. Hilborn uses the same humour and self-deprecation that propelled OCD to success in
order to make his unmatched vulnerability all the more powerful.
Ultimately, Hilborn is a poet of the people: his work is accessible, honest, and entertaining a
revitalising entry in contemporary poetry.
This debut collection contains 45 of Neil's poems including the sensation OCD, also Joey, Future
Tense, Liminality, Moving Day, and many, many never-before-seen poems.

Lambs Love and Laughter: I also had a farm in Africa
If you ever wondered what it would be like to be able to say "I had a farm in Africa" then this is the
book for you. Join forces with Kate and her French husband Jean as they leave behind their safe
organised lives and embark on the task of building a relationship while breathing life back into a
derelict farm on the borders of South Africa and Lesotho.
For nine years, they experienced the worst drought in living memory, suffered raging grass fires and
deep snow while raising a lamb that thought it was a dog and hosting a deer who behaved like a
rugby player. While Kate produced croissants and chicken pies which she exchanged for lucerne and
knowledge, Jean scaled their only windmill or stripped the ancient diesel generator to coax a bit
more life from them, and what they knew about farming could be etched on the head of a pin.
Explore the extraordinary Bulklip Rock and discover the ancient Bushman paintings. Lie on the lawns
on a summer's evening counting satellites and feast at the farmhouse table on food grown by a lot
of wit and very little water.
If you ever wanted to live life a little bit on the edge doing something slightly out of the ordinary,
then you are invited to take an armchair trip to Bulklip Farm and discover what life can be like when
you combine Lambs, Love and Laughter.

The Divided Self: An Existential Study in Sanity and Madness (Penguin Modern Classics)
First published in 1960, this watershed work aimed to make madness comprehensible, and in doing
so revolutionized the way we perceive mental illness. Using case studies of patients he had worked
with, psychiatrist R. D. Laing argued that psychosis is not a medical condition but an outcome of the
'divided self', or the tension between the two personas within us: one our authentic, private
identity, and the other the false, 'sane' self that we present to the world.

The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down: How to be Calm in a Busy World
"Is it the world that's busy, or is it my mind?"
The world moves fast, but that doesn't mean we have to. In this timely guide to mindfulness,
Haemin Sunim, a Buddhist monk born in Korea and educated in the United States, offers advice on
everything from handling setbacks to dealing with relationships and loved ones, in a beautiful book
combining his teachings with calming full-colour illustrations. Even as we speed toward what comes
next, Haemin Sunim's messages of encouragement speak directly to the anxieties that have become
part of modern life and remind us of the strength and joy that come from slowing down.
Overwhelmingly popular in his native Korea, Haemin Sunim is a spiritual leader whose teachings
transcend religions and borders and resonate with people of all ages. With insight and compassion
drawn from a life full of change, he shows, as millions have seen, he succeeds at encouraging all of
us to notice that when you slow down, the world slows down with you.

Chaos Monkeys
Fortune and Failure
Imagine a chimpanzee rampaging through a datacenter powering everything from Google to

Facebook. Infrastructure engineers use a software version of this “chaos monkey” to test online
services’ robustness—their ability to survive random failure and correct mistakes before they
actually occur. Tech entrepreneurs are society’s chaos monkeys, disruptors testing and transforming
every aspect of our lives, from transportation (Uber) and lodging (AirBnB) to television (Netflix) and
dating (Tinder). One of Silicon Valley’s most audacious chaos monkeys is Antonio García Martínez.
68 | P a g e
ART
After stints on Wall Street and as CEO of his own startup, García Martínez joined Facebook’s nascent
advertising team, turning its users’ data into profit for COO Sheryl Sandberg and chairman and CEO
Mark “Zuck” Zuckerberg. Forced out in the wake of an internal product war over the future of the
company’s monetization strategy, García Martínez eventually landed at rival Twitter. He also
fathered two children with a woman he barely knew, committed lewd acts and brewed illegal beer
on the Facebook campus (accidentally flooding Zuckerberg’s desk), lived on a sailboat, raced sport
cars on the 101, and enthusiastically pursued the life of an overpaid Silicon Valley wastrel.
Now, this gleeful contrarian unravels the chaotic evolution of social media and online marketing and
reveals how it is invading our lives and shaping our future. Weighing in on everything from startups
and credit derivatives to Big Brother and data tracking, social media monetization and digital
“privacy,” García Martínez shares his scathing observations and outrageous antics, taking us on a
humorous, subversive tour of the fascinatingly insular tech industry. Chaos Monkeys lays bare the
hijinks, trade secrets, and power plays of the visionaries, grunts, sociopaths, opportunists, accidental
tourists, and money cowboys who are revolutionizing our world. The question is, will we survive?

Mumbo Jumbo (Penguin Modern Classics)
Ishmael Reed's inspired comic fable of the ragtime era - hailed by Harold Bloom as one of the five
hundred greatest books of the Western canon
America, 1920s. A plague is spreading, and it's spreading fast, from New Orleans to Chicago to New
York.
It's an epidemic of freedom, joy and self-expression, being spread by Black artists, that makes
anyone who catches it desperate to dance, sing, laugh and jive. It's the outbreak of Jazz, Ragtime and
Blues onto the world scene; the spirit of Blackness overtaking America and the world. And it's
threatening to dismantle the whole social order.
69 | P a g e
ART
Working to root out the plague by any means possible - even murder - are the members of The
Wallflower Order, an international conspiracy dedicated to puritanism and control. But, deep in the
heart of Harlem, private eye and Vodun priest Papa LaBas is determined to defend his flourishing
ancient culture against their insidious plans. And so, he finds himself locked in a race against the
Order to find an ancient Egyptian text which might just be the key to keeping the virus of freedom
alive.
Caustic, badass, comic, Mumbo Jumbo is an exuberant explosion of magic, conspiracies, music and
myth. It's a novel of outrage, intrigue, and wonder - an anarchic spiritual classic, and a satire for our
times.

A Vindication of the Rights of Men
Less known than Mary Wollstonecraft's later work, A Vindication of the Rights of Men was her first
work as a feminist philosopher and commentator. Compared to A Vindication of the Rights of
Woman, this work is more focused on the specific political environment of the time. However, it
covers many of the same themes, including the importance of liberty and equality.
When it was initially published anonymously, it was both successful and and influential. Later, when
Wollstonecraft revealed herself as the author, critics focused on her identity as a woman, rather
than the political ideals, leading to her rejection by contemporary philosophers.

by James Baldwin (Author), Raoul Peck (Author)
In June 1979, the writer and civil rights activist James Baldwin embarked on a project to tell the story
of America through the lives of three of his murdered friends: Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin
Luther King, Jr. He died before it could be completed. In his documentary film, I Am Not Your Negro,
Raoul Peck imagines the book Baldwin never wrote, using his original words to create a radical,
powerful and poetic work on race in the United States - then, and today.
'Thrilling . . . A portrait of one man's confrontation with a country that, murder by murder, as he
once put it, "devastated my universe"' The New York Times
'Baldwin's voice speaks even more powerfully today . . . the prose-poet of our injustice and
inhumanity . . . The times have caught up with his scalding eloquence' Variety
'A cinematic séance . . . One of the best movies about the civil rights era ever made' Guardian

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is one of today's most admired and controversial political figures. She burst into
international headlines following the murder of Theo van Gogh by an Islamist who threatened she
would be next. An international bestseller, her life story INFIDEL shows the coming of age of this
elegant, distinguished -- and sometimes reviled -- political superstar and champion of free speech.
Ultimately a celebration of triumph over adversity, Hirsi Ali's story tells how a bright, curious, dutiful
little girl evolves into a pioneering freedom fighter. As Western governments struggle to balance
democratic ideals with religious pressures, no other book could be more timely, or more significant.

Riot Days Hardcover – 14 Sep 2017
by Maria Alyokhina (Author)
From activist, Pussy Riot member and freedom fighter Maria Alyokhina, a raw, hallucinatory,
passionate account of her arrest, trial and imprisonment in a penal colony in the Urals for standing
up for what she believed in.
'One of the most brilliant and inspiring things I've read in years. Couldn't put it down. This book is
freedom' Chris Kraus, author of I Love Dick
People who believe in freedom and democracy think it will exist forever.
That is a mistake. What happened in Russia - what happened to me - could happen anywhere.
When I was jailed for political protest, I learned that prison doesn't just teach you to follow the rules.
It teaches you to think that you can never break them.
It's inevitable that the prison gates will open at some point. But this doesn't mean that you leave the
'prisoner' category and go straight into the category of 'the free'.
Freedom does not exist unless you fight for it every day.
This is the story about how I made a choice.
We are all Pussy Riot.
And actions break fear.

Too Afraid to Cry Kindle Edition
by Ali Cobby Eckermann (Author)
Ali Cobby Eckermann - Windham-Campbell Prize Winner 2017
"Too Afraid to Cry is a memoir that, in bare blunt prose and piercingly lyrical verse, gives witness to
the human cost of policies that created the Stolen Generations of Indigenous people in Australia. It is
the story of a people profoundly wronged, told through the frank eyes of a child, and the troubled
mind of that child as an adult, whose life was irretrievably changed by being taken away from her
Aboriginal family when she was a young child and then adopted out. This is a brave book, written by
a woman who has faced her demons, transformed her suffering into a work of art, and found her
true sitting place in the world." - Terry Whitebeach
"It is not long, this book. It can be read in a sitting. And it may change the way you think, about
Australia, or about Aboriginal people, in ways more sophisticated literary exercises would not." - The
Australian
"What makes Too Afraid to Cry a remarkable narrative of reconnection is the way in which Cobby
Eckerman negotiates its painful territory without the dramatics of blame but with all the moral force
of affective truth." - Cordite Poetry Review

Sexual Politics Kindle Edition
by Kate Millett (Author)
"Praised and denounced when it was first published in 1970, "Sexual Politics" not only explored
history but also became part of it. Kate Millett's groundbreaking book fueled feminism's second
wave, giving voice to the anger of a generation while documenting the inequities - neatly packaged
in revered works of literature and art - of a complacent and unrepentant society. "Sexual Politics"
laid the foundation for subsequent feminist scholarship by showing how cultural discourse reflects a
systematized subjugation and exploitation of women. Identifying patriarchy as a socially conditioned
belief system masquerading as nature, Millett demonstrates in detail how its attitudes and systems
penetrate literature, philosophy, psychology, and politics. Her incendiary work rocked the
foundations of the literary canon by castigating time-honored classics - from D. H. Lawrence's Lady
Chatterley's "Lover" to Norman Mailer's "The Naked and the Dead" - for their use of sex to degrade
and undermine women. A new introduction to this edition draws attention to some of the forms
patriarchy has taken recently in consolidating its oppressive and dangerous control."

How F*cked Up Is Your Management?: An uncomfortable conversation about modern leadership

Kindle Edition
by Johnathan Nightingale (Author), Melissa Nightingale (Author)
This book has swears. Any honest discussion of management today needs a few. And it’s just what
you’d expect from the creators of the internet famous blog, The Co-pour.
If you’re trying to lead a group of people today, the bad news is that it’s harder than ever. Your
employees have impossible expectations of you, and your investors haven’t operated a business in
over twenty years. The good news is that there’s hope. You can be the leader your people need, but
you won’t get there without some discomfort.

How F*cked Up Is Your Management tackles a massive gap in the conversation about modern
leadership. Through personal narrative, and candid storytelling, Melissa and Johnathan Nightingale
distill the lessons they’ve learned and the mistakes they’ve made into a new management standard.
This book doesn’t gloss over the hard work, uncertainty, and stress that it takes for startups to get
things right. It doesn’t glorify those things either. In addition to the swears, this book has thoughtful
things to say on:
What to do when you double in size but haven’t doubled your output
How to interview better, hire smarter, and grow and retain the people you’ve already got
Why meritocracy doesn’t work and other cultural traps
How to build a non-toxic workplace culture and a diverse team
Why you don’t want superheroes on your team (and definitely don’t want to be one)
How to manage an employee up and when to manage them out
What to do when it all falls apart

Seven Pillars of Wisdom & The Evolution of a Revolt (Illustrated Edition): Lawrence of Arabia's
Account and Memoirs of the Arab Revolt and Guerrilla Warfare during World War One Kindle Edition
by T. E. / Lawrence of Arabia Lawrence (Author)
Seven Pillars of Wisdom is the autobiographical account of the experiences of British soldier T. E.
Lawrence ("Lawrence of Arabia"), while serving as a liaison officer with rebel forces during the Arab
Revolt against the Ottoman Turks of 1916 to 1918. In 1919 he had been elected to a seven-year
research fellowship at All Souls College, Oxford, providing him with support while he worked on the
book. In addition to being a memoir of his experiences during the war, certain parts also serve as
essays on military strategy, Arabian culture and geography, and other topics. Lawrence re-wrote
Seven Pillars of Wisdom three times; once "blind" after he lost the manuscript while changing trains
at Reading railway station. Lawrence acknowledged having been helped in the editing of the book by
George Bernard Shaw. In the preface to Seven Pillars, Lawrence offered his "thanks to Mr. and Mrs.
Bernard Shaw for countless suggestions of great value and diversity: and for all the present
semicolons".
Thomas Edward Lawrence (1888-1935) was a British archaeologist, military officer, and diplomat. He
was renowned for his liaison role during the Sinai and Palestine Campaign, and the Arab Revolt
against Ottoman Turkish rule of 1916-18. The breadth and variety of his activities and associations,
and his ability to describe them vividly in writing, earned him international fame as Lawrence of
Arabia—a title used for the 1962 film based on his First World War activities.

Why Buddhism is True: The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment Hardcover – 11
Jan 2018
by Robert Wright (Author)
New York Times Bestseller
From one of America’s greatest minds, a journey through psychology, philosophy, and lots of
meditation to show how Buddhism holds the key to moral clarity and enduring happiness.
Robert Wright famously explained in The Moral Animal how evolution shaped the human brain. The
mind is designed to often delude us, he argued, about ourselves and about the world. And it is
designed to make happiness hard to sustain.
But if we know our minds are rigged for anxiety, depression, anger, and greed, what do we do?
Wright locates the answer in Buddhism, which figured out thousands of years ago what scientists are
only discovering now. Buddhism holds that human suffering is a result of not seeing the world
clearly—and proposes that seeing the world more clearly, through meditation, will make us better,
happier people.
In Why Buddhism is True, Wright leads readers on a journey through psychology, philosophy, and a
great many silent retreats to show how and why meditation can serve as the foundation for a
spiritual life in a secular age. At once excitingly ambitious and wittily accessible, this is the first book
to combine evolutionary psychology with cutting-edge neuroscience to defend the radical claims at
the heart of Buddhist philosophy. With bracing honesty and fierce wisdom, it will persuade you not
just that Buddhism is true—which is to say, a way out of our delusion—but that it can ultimately
save us from ourselves, as individuals and as a species.

Not Dead Yet: The Autobiography Kindle Edition
by Phil Collins (Author)
Not Dead Yet is Phil Collins’ candid, witty, unvarnished story of the songs and shows, the hits and
pans, his marriages and divorces, the ascents to the top of the charts and into the tabloid headlines.
As one of only three musicians to sell over 100 million records both in a group and as a solo artist,
Collins breathes rare air, but he has never lost his talent for crafting songs that touch listeners
around the globe.
This is the story of his epic career, from child actor to one of the most successful songwriters of the
pop music era. A drummer since almost before he could walk, Collins received on-the-job training in
the seedy, thrilling bars and clubs of 1960s swinging London before finally landing the drum seat in
Genesis. Later he would step into the spotlight on vocals after the departure of Peter Gabriel, and
compose the songs that would rocket him to international solo fame with the release of Face Value
and ‘In the Air Tonight’.
Whether he’s recalling jamming with Eric Clapton and Robert Plant, pulling together a big band
fronted by Tony Bennett, playing twice at Live Aid, or writing the Oscar-winning music for Disney’s
smash-hit animated film Tarzan, Collins keeps it intimate and his storytelling gift never wavers.

A Loving, Faithful Animal Paperback – 12 Sep 2017
by Josephine Rowe (Author)
"I found myself considering those rare things only books can do, feats outside the purview of film or
fine art . . . Gorgeous." --Samantha Hunt, The New York Times Book Review
It is New Year's Eve 1990, in a small town in southeast Australia. Ru's father, Jack, one of thousands
of Australians once conscripted to serve in the Vietnam War, has disappeared. This time Ru thinks he
might be gone for good. As rumors spread of a huge black cat stalking the landscape beyond their
door, the rest of the family is barely holding on. Ru's sister, Lani, is throwing herself into sex, drugs,
and dangerous company. Their mother, Evelyn, is escaping into memories of a more vibrant youth.
And meanwhile there is Les, Jack's inscrutable brother, who seems to move through their lives like a
ghost, earning both trust and suspicion.
A Loving, Faithful Animal is an incandescent portrait of one family searching for what may yet be
redeemable from the ruins of war. Tender, brutal, and heart-stopping in its beauty, this novel marks
the arrival in the United States of Josephine Rowe, the winner of the 2016 Elizabeth Jolley Prize and
one of Australia's most extraordinary young writers.

Tombstone: The Untold Story of Mao's Great Famine Kindle Edition
by Yang Jisheng (Author), Edward Friedman (Editor), Guo Jian (Translator),
I call this book Tombstone. It is a tombstone for my foster father who died of hunger in 1959, for the
36 million Chinese who also died of hunger, for the system that caused their death, and perhaps for
myself for writing this book.'
The most powerful and important Chinese work of recent years, Yang Jisheng's Tombstone is a
passionate, moving and angry account of one of the 20th century's most nightmarish events: the
killing of an estimated 36 million Chinese in 1958-1961 by starvation or physical abuse. More people
died in Mao's Great Famine than in the entire First World War and yet their story remains
substantially untold. Now, at last, they can be heard.
Based on survivors' testimonies, this book was greeted with huge acclaim when published in Hong
Kong as an essential work of reckoning.

The Criminal Personality: The Drug User: Volume III Kindle Edition
by Samuel Yochelson (Author), Stanton Samenow (Author)
'The third in a series explicating the criminal mind, this volume summarizes observations,
interpretations, and conclusions derived from a study of 121 criminal men who used drugs and/or
alcohol to excess. Originally set in writing by Yochelson before his death in 1976, the materials were
edited and updated by Samenow for publication. Systematic, probing and repeated interviews were
used as the vehicle for gathering information on common mental themes among men apprehended
and sentenced for criminal acts.... Yochelson and Samenow attribute crime to a series of early
irresponsible choices that predate drug use among drug-using criminals. Personality and personal
choice variables are conceptualized as critical in initialing and maintaining use. In what is called an
indiscriminate search for excitement, drug-using criminals are characterized as expanding their
criminal repertoire while excusing their actions by rationalizations sometimes invented by

sociologists, psychologists, and psychiatrists. Although these ideas are of considerable interest, the
real value of the text lies in its intriguing presentation of drug-user thinking. Specifically, three
chapters are well worth reading. The description of mental activities associated with such constructs
as 'the high,' 'the nod,' and 'the rush' are probably on target for many drug users, whether criminal
or not. The chapter explaining drugs as facilitators offers several notions worthy of systematic
inquiry, as does the one devoted to principles for encouragement of behavior change. Of perhaps
greatest benefit to most readers are caveats regarding management of drug users in what may be
seen as a cognitive-behavioral framework. Yochelson and Samenow contend that drug-using
criminal men represent the architects of their criminal life-styles and that it is they themselves who
can correct irresponsible thoughts and behaviors through application of logic over emotion.'

The Criminal Personality: The Change Process: Volume II Kindle Edition
by Samuel Yochelson (Author), Stanton Samenow (Author)
This is the second of a three volume landmark study of the criminal mind. This book describes an
intensive therapeutic approach designed to completely change the criminals way of thinking. The
authors reject traditional treatment approaches as reinforcing of the criminals sense of being a
victim of society. Rather Yochelson and Samenow stress that the criminal must make a choice to give
up criminal thinking and learn morality.

This is Dawn French's fabulous new non-fiction book for 2017, and it's totally interactive: take a
lovely ramble through the year together with Dawn. Think of it as Dawn's diary, personalized by you
. . . perfection.
I can't count the amount of diaries I have crammed full with entries in January, that then fizzle out as
the other months pile in. One of my teenage diaries has fulsome fizzing reports of every single
conversation, thought and feeling about every friend, every crush, every meal, every argument until
mid-March, when the entry on the 18th simply reads,
'Washed hair.'
Thank god, this isn't that. This book is a way for us to tell the story of a year together. Feel free to
write your appointments in it, lists, thoughts and reminders of, say, who to kill, and when, and in
what order. But I've also written about age and life as I see it, through the seasons and the months,
and I've added some places for you to join me in some fun and some thinking. By the end of the
year, I am hoping you will have a fatter, scruffier book that is written by me but totally personalized
by you.
Come on in. The paper is lovely . . .
AND . . . importantly, Me. You: A Diary comes with a practical elastic strap to keep all of your papers
safe, with a pocket in the back for storing those special momentoes.

How to Be Human: The Manual Kindle Edition
by Ruby Wax (Author)
"It took us 4 billion years to evolve to where we are now - completely brilliant and yet, some might
say, emotionally dwarfed. The question is: can our more empathetic side catch up in time to save us
and the world? I've got nothing against smarts, but it's smarts without emotional awareness that got
us into this position of being able to nuke each other into oblivion and rape the earth for oil."
With a little help from a monk (who tells us how our mind works) and a neuroscientist (who tells us
how our brain works), Ruby Wax answers every question you've ever had about: evolution,
thoughts, emotions, the body, addictions, relationships, sex, kids, the future and compassion.
Filled with witty anecdotes from Ruby's own life, and backed up by smart science and practical
mindfulness exercises, How to be Human is the only manual you need to help you upgrade your
mind as much as you've upgraded your iphone.

MacArthur 'genius grants' go to novelists Viet Thanh Nguyen and Jesmyn Ward
Among 2017’s recipients of the $625,000 honours are two novelists exploring the lives of minority
communities in the US
Viet Thanh Nguyen and Jesmyn Ward, two novelists exploring how writers from minority
communities must “claim the same rights” as the majority, have landed $625,000 (£470,000)
MacArthur fellowships, popularly known as “genius grants”.
The no-strings-attached fellowships, which have previously gone to writers including Claudia Rankine
and Ta-Nehisi Coates, are intended “to encourage people of outstanding talent to pursue their own
creative, intellectual, and professional inclinations”. Two novelists were among this year’s selection
of 24 fellows, which included mathematicians, historians, computer scientists and anthropologists.
Ward was picked for novels “exploring the enduring bonds of community and familial love among
poor African Americans of the rural South, against a landscape of circumscribed possibilities and lost
potential”. Nguyen was chosen for “challenging popular depictions of the Vietnam war and exploring
the myriad ways that war lives on for those it has displaced”.

The Refugees Kindle Edition
by Viet Thanh Nguyen (Author)
From the winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, 2016
'A powerful antidote to all the fearmongering and lies out there . . . A rich exploration of human
identity, family ties and love and loss, never has a short story collection been timelier' ***** Five
stars, the Independent
In The Refugees, Viet Thanh Nguyen gives voice to lives led between two worlds, the adopted
homeland and the country of birth. From a young Vietnamese refugee who suffers profound culture
shock when he comes to live with two gay men in San Francisco, to a woman whose husband is
suffering from dementia and starts to confuse her for a former lover, to a girl living in Ho Chi Minh
City whose older half-sister comes back from America having seemingly accomplished everything
she never will, the stories are a captivating testament to the dreams and hardships of immigration.
The second piece of fiction by a major new voice, The Refugees is a beautifully written and sharply
observed book about the aspirations of those who leave one country for another, and the
relationships and desires for self-fulfillment that define our lives.

Sing, Unburied, Sing Kindle Edition

'This wrenching new novel by Jesmyn Ward digs deep into the not-buried heart of the American
nightmare. A must' Margaret Atwood
'A powerfully alive novel haunted by ghosts; a road trip where people can go but they can never
leave; a visceral and intimate drama that plays out like a grand epic, Sing, Unburied, Sing is
staggering' Marlon James, Winner of the Man Booker Prize 2015
An intimate portrait of a family and an epic tale of hope and struggle, Sing, Unburied, Sing examines
the ugly truths at the heart of the American story and the power – and limitations – of family bonds.
Jojo is thirteen years old and trying to understand what it means to be a man. His mother, Leonie, is
in constant conflict with herself and those around her. She is black and her children's father is white.
Embattled in ways that reflect the brutal reality of her circumstances, she wants to be a better
mother, but can't put her children above her own needs, especially her drug use.
When the children's father is released from prison, Leonie packs her kids and a friend into her car
and drives north to the heart of Mississippi and Parchman Farm, the State Penitentiary. At
Parchman, there is another boy, the ghost of a dead inmate who carries all of the ugly history of the
South with him in his wandering. He too has something to teach Jojo about fathers and sons, about
legacies, about violence, about love.
Rich with Ward's distinctive, lyrical language, Sing, Unburied, Sing brings the archetypal road novel
into rural twenty-first century America. It is a majestic new work from an extraordinary and singular
author.

Clearly it is Ta-Nehisi Coates' Toni Morrison
Powerful and necessary, a state-of-the-nation portrait of America under Obama from the prize-
winning, bestselling author of Between the World and Me
From 2008-2016, the leader of the free world was a black man. Obama's presidency reshaped
America and transformed the international conversation around politics, race, equality. But it
attracted criticism and bred discontent as much as it inspired hope - so much so, that the world now
faces an uncertain future under a very different kind of US President.
In this essential new book, Ta-Nehisi Coates takes stock of the Obama era, speaking authoritatively
from political, ideological and cultural perspectives, drawing a nuanced and penetrating portrait of
America today.

The Year I Was Peter the Great: 1956-Khrushchev, Stalin's Ghost, and a Young American in Russia
Hardcover – 10 Oct 2017
by Marvin Kalb (Author)
A chronicle of the year that changed Soviet Russia-and molded the future path of one of America's
pre-eminent diplomatic correspondents 1956 was an extraordinary year in modern Russian history.
It was called "the year of the thaw"-a time when Stalin's dark legacy of dictatorship died in February
only to be reborn later that December. This historic arc from rising hope to crushing despair opened
with a speech by Nikita Khrushchev, then the unpredictable leader of the Soviet Union. He
astounded everyone by denouncing the one figure who, up to that time, had been hailed as a
"genius," a wizard of communism-Josef Stalin himself. Now, suddenly, this once unassailable god
was being portrayed as a "madman" whose idiosyncratic rule had seriously undermined communism
and endangered the Soviet state. This amazing switch from hero to villain lifted a heavy overcoat of
fear from the backs of ordinary Russians. It also quickly led to anti-communist uprisings in Eastern
Europe, none more bloody and challenging than the one in Hungary, which Soviet troops crushed at
year's end. Marvin Kalb, then a young diplomatic attache at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, observed
this tumultuous year that foretold the end of Soviet communism three decades later. Fluent in
Russian, a doctoral candidate at Harvard, he went where few other foreigners would dare go,
listening to Russian students secretly attack communism and threaten rebellion against the Soviet
system, traveling from one end of a changing country to the other and, thanks to his diplomatic
position, meeting and talking with Khrushchev, who playfully nicknamed him Peter the Great. In this,
his fifteenth book, Kalb writes a fascinating eyewitness account of a superpower in upheaval and of
a people yearning for an end to dictatorship.

Russia and the Western Far Right: Tango Noir (Routledge Studies in Fascism and the Far Right)
Paperback – 28 Sep 2017
by Anton Shekhovtsov (Author)
The growing influence of Russia on the Western far right has been much discussed in the media
recently. This book is the first detailed inquiry into what has been a neglected but critically
important trend: the growing links between Russian actors and Western far right activists, publicists,
ideologues, and politicians. The author uses a range of sources including interviews, video footage,
leaked communications, official statements and press coverage in order to discuss both historical
and contemporary Russia in terms of its relationship with the Western far right.
Initial contacts between Russian political actors and Western far right activists were established in
the early 1990s, but these contacts were low profile. As Moscow has become more anti-Western,
these contacts have become more intense and have operated at a higher level. The book shows that
the Russian establishment was first interested in using the Western far right to legitimise Moscow’s
politics and actions both domestically and internationally, but more recently Moscow has begun to
support particular far right political forces to gain leverage on European politics and undermine the
liberal-democratic consensus in the West.
Contributing to ongoing scholarly debates about Russia’s role in the world, its strategies aimed at
securing legitimation of Putin’s regime both internationally and domestically, modern information
warfare and propaganda, far right politics and activism in the West, this book draws on theories and
methods from history, political science, area studies, and media studies and will be of interest to
students, scholars, activists and practitioners in these areas

ART
In Where the Past Begins, bestselling author of The Joy Luck Club and The Valley of Amazement Amy
Tan is at her most intimate in revealing the truths and inspirations that underlie her extraordinary
fiction. By delving into vivid memories of her traumatic childhood, confessions of self-doubt in her
journals, and heartbreaking letters to and from her mother, she gives evidence to all that made it
both unlikely and inevitable that she would become a writer. Through spontaneous storytelling, she
shows how a fluid fictional state of mind unleashed near-forgotten memories that became the
emotional nucleus of her novels.
Tan explores shocking truths uncovered by family memorabilia--the real reason behind an IQ test
she took at age six, why her parents lied about their education, mysteries surrounding her maternal
grandmother--and, for the first time publicly, writes about her complex relationship with her father,
who died when she was fifteen. Supplied with candor and characteristic humor, Where the Past
Begins takes readers into the idiosyncratic workings of her writer's mind, a journey that explores
memory, imagination, and truth, with fiction serving as both her divining rod and link to meaning.

The City of Brass (Daevabad Trilogy) Paperback – 14 Nov 2017
by S A Chakraborty (Author)
106 | P a g e
ART
Step into The City of Brass, the spellbinding debut from S. A. Chakraborty--an imaginative alchemy of
The Golem and the Jinni, The Grace of Kings, and Uprooted, in which the future of a magical Middle
Eastern kingdom rests in the hands of a clever and defiant young con artist with miraculous healing
gifts.
Nahri has never believed in magic. Certainly, she has power; on the streets of eighteenth-century
Cairo, she's a con woman of unsurpassed talent. But she knows better than anyone that the trades
she uses to get by--palm readings, zars, healings--are all tricks, sleights of hand, learned skills; a
means to the delightful end of swindling Ottoman nobles and a reliable way to survive.
But when Nahri accidentally summons an equally sly, darkly mysterious djinn warrior to her side
during one of her cons, she's forced to question all she believes. For the warrior tells her an
extraordinary tale: across hot, windswept sands teeming with creatures of fire, and rivers where the
mythical marid sleep; past ruins of once-magnificent human metropolises, and mountains where the
circling birds of prey are not what they seem, lies Daevabad, the legendary city of brass--a city to
which Nahri is irrevocably bound.
In Daevabad, within gilded brass walls laced with enchantments, behind the six gates of the six djinn
tribes, old resentments are simmering. And when Nahri decides to enter this world, she learns that
true power is fierce and brutal. That magic cannot shield her from the dangerous web of court

The TB12 Method: How to Achieve a Lifetime of Sustained Peak Performance Hardcover – 19 Sep
2017
by Tom Brady (Author)
#1 New York Times Bestseller
The first book by New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady—the five-time Super Bowl champion
who is still reaching unimaginable heights of excellence at forty years old—a gorgeously illustrated
and deeply practical “athlete’s bible” that reveals Brady’s revolutionary approach to sustained peak
performance for athletes of all kinds and all ages.
In modern sports, some athletes have managed to transcend their competition in a way that no one
will ever forget: Jordan. Jeter. Ali. Williams. These elite legends have changed the game, achieved
the unthinkable, and pushed their bodies to unbelievable limits. Joining their exclusive ranks is Tom
Brady.
“Brady is the healthiest great champion the NFL has ever had, both physically and mentally” (Sally
Jenkins, The Washington Post). The longtime New England Patriots quarterback, who in 2017
achieved his fifth Super Bowl win and fourth Super Bowl MVP award, is widely regarded as an
107 | P a g e

athlete whose training and determination pushed him from a mediocre draft position to the most-
revered and respected professional football player of his generation.
In The TB12 Method, Tom Brady explains how he developed his groundbreaking approach to long-
term fitness, presenting a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to his personal practice. Brady offers
the principles behind pliability, which is at the heart of a new paradigm shift and movement toward
a more natural, healthier way of exercising, training, and living—and one that challenges some
commonly held assumptions around health and wellness. Filled with lessons learned from Brady’s
own peak performance training, and step-by-step action steps to help readers develop and maintain
their own peak performance, The TB12 Method also advocates for more effective approaches to
strength training, hydration, nutrition, supplementation, cognitive fitness, recovery, and other
lifestyle choices that dramatically decrease the risk of injury while amplifying and extending
performance, as well as quality of life.
After using his methods for over a decade, Brady believes that the TB12 approach has made him—
and can make any athlete, male or female, in any sport and at any level—achieve their own peak
performance. With instructions, drills, photos, in-depth case studies that Brady himself has used, as
well as personal anecdotes and experiences from on and off the field, The TB12 Method is the only
book an athlete will ever need, a playbook from Brady himself that will change the game.

The Long Road Home: The Aftermath of the Second World War
After the Great War, the millions killed on the battlefields were eclipsed by the millions more
civilians carried off by disease and starvation when the conflict was over. Haunted by memories, the
110 | P a g e
ART
Allies were determined that the end of the Second World War would not be followed by a similar
disaster, and they began to lay plans long before victory was assured.
Confronted by an entire continent starving and uprooted, Allied planners devised strategies to help
all 'displaced persons', and repatriate the fifteen million people who had been deprived of their
homes and in many cases forced to work for the Germans. But over a million Jews, Poles, Ukrainians,
Latvians, Lithuanians, Estonians and Yugoslavs refused to go home.
This book offers a radical reassessment of the aftermath of World War II. Unlike most recent writing
about the 1940s, it assesses the events and personalities of that decade in terms of contemporary
standards and values. This the true and epic story of how millions ultimately found relief,
reconciliation and a place to call home.

Indian Slow Cooker Recipes: Rich and Savory Indian Slow Cooker Recipes for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
and More. Kindle Edition
If cooking Indian recipes in a slow cooker sounds somewhat strange, it’s because the history of dum
pukht is not so well known. Dum pukht is a cooking technique two centuries old, which could be the
predecessor and oldest ancestor of all crock-pots in the world.
Dum means steam, and pukht, to cut off. “To cut off steam” is a way of cooking foods in a very heavy
pot on a very slow flame over charcoal. The unique feature is that this pot would be sealed with a
mixture of flour and water to prevent the steam from escaping –hence “cutting it off”.
It is believed by historians that this way of cooking food came from the Indian royalty around 1770
during the Mughal Empire when famine killed 5% of the population of India. A ruler from the North
East part of India decided to feed his subjects from the food he had in his own kitchen, and the food
was cooked in dum pukht.
Once the famine passed, this way of cooking became very popular. Stewed meats, beans, lentils and
other legumes were cooked in these sealed pots, but unlike the modern crock-pot, they couldn’t
stay unattended or else they could burn. Royals could have the luxury of foods gently simmered for
hours, and that’s something you can think about when cooking your Indian recipes in a slow cooker:
you’re giving yourself a royal treatment!

Divine Food: Israeli and Palestinian Food Culture and Recipes Hardcover – Illustrated, 1 Sep 2016
by Gestalten (Author), David Haliva (Author)
Israeli and Palestinian people share an outstanding and dynamic cuisine. Divine Food is a visually
striking collection of recipes from local markets, Arab traditions, the nomadic tribes of the desert,
and the hip restaurants of Tel Aviv. Israeli and Palestinian food is ripe with flavor and enticing
intricacies. Intersections of trade routes led to the interchange of ingredients and that trend is still
apparent today. Divine Food embarks on a culinary journey from the North, with its temperate
climate and succulent vegetables; to Tel Aviv, where young chefs find new ways to interpret culinary
traditions; to Jerusalem, a city of pilgrimage that boasts a myriad of staple dishes; and to the South
where nomadic lifestyles inspire desert cuisine. From shakshuka to challah to baklava, regional
recipes provide insight into the origins of iconic and delectable dishes. The recipes compiled within
Divine Food are clearly explained and invite home cooks and foodies alike to bask in their bold
flavors. Wherever your dinner table may lie, these recipes transport the aromas and tastes of the
Mediterranean. Because the food of the region is characterized by authenticity and tradition, the
insight is both culinary and historical. A stunning regional portrait and a go-to treasury of recipes,
Divine Food transcends the label of cookbook. Divine Food showcases a daily life defined by food,
flavors, and heritage.

Why people ruin others’ lives by exposing all their data online
“I’ve spoken to people that have had websites set up in their name requesting child pornography,
their bank accounts hacked and money stolen from their account, and their employer phoned and
told they were alcoholics,” says Amy Binns at University of Central Lancashire. Some women have
had profiles set up soliciting violent sex with strangers.
All these people were doxed – that is, someone published their personal information against their
will, in a public forum intended for dissemination and abuse, instigating a torrent of attacks from
strangers. “It’s incredibly scary and could result in losing your livelihood,” says Binns.
But despite many individual cases catching the public eye, up until now there has been very little
research examining the scale of the problem and who is involved. A new study from the University of
Illinois at Chicago and New York University changes that.

Mohammed Ali
Mohammed Ali
Biography
The Art of Mohammed Ali has been taken across the globe and described as challenging the oft-
heard term ‘clash of civilisations.’ with his fusion of street-art and islamic script, along with his
conscious messages. It was after his new-found passion and rediscovery of his faith in Islam, that he
began to fuse his graffiti-art with the grace and eloquence of sacred and Islamic script and patterns.
He describes his work as, ‘taking the best of both worlds.’ and bringing back to the forefront
principles that are gradually fading away from our modern societies.
Mohammed Ali was drawn to the graffiti world from early 80’s inspired by the subway art
movement, and like many kids living in the UK was involved with the street-painting scene. After
studying Multimedia Design at university, he went onto working in the computer-games industry as
a designer. Soon enough he became disillusioned with using his creative skills for commercial benefit
and creating art for art’s sake, and began exploring with creating art for ‘mankind’s sake’.
Graffiti was often a self-glorification of one’s identity, the ‘tag’ being the focus. Mohammed began
exploring simple messages which at the heart of were still – the words – but words which pointed to
other than the ‘self’, with a deeper message, that was speaking to the public, and relevant to the
wider society.
Mohammed Ali’s art is appreciated by people of all faith and cultures and he has exhibited his
canvas-art as well as created his public spiritual murals in the streets of major cities, such as New
York, Chicago, Toronto, Melbourne and Dubai to name but a few. International media ranging from
CNN to Aljazeera, have reported his work as a ‘bridge of understanding’between faith communities
and he has become a regular media figure. He delivers public lectures about the power of the arts to
transform society and how the arts can tackle some of the difficult issues that we face in multi-
cultural societies.

The Ward Hardcover – 1 Dec 2017
by Gideon Mendel (Author), Hannah Watson (Editor)
In 1993, Gideon Mendel spent a number of weeks photographing the Broderip and Charles Bell
wards in London s Middlesex Hospital. The Broderip was the first AIDS ward in London and was
opened by Diana, Princess of Wales in 1987. This was the era before antiretroviral medications had
become available, a very distinct and tragic time. All of the patients on the wards, many of whom
were young, gay men, were having to face the terrifying prospect of an early and painful death.
During his time at the hospital Gideon followed the stories of four patients in particular - John,
Steven, Ian and Andre. These two wards at The Middlesex Hospital were some of the few dedicated
AIDS wards that existed in London, and even more unusual for their decision to open themselves to
being photographed. Considering the high levels of stigma and fear that existed at the time, the
decision of these four patients to allow themselves, alongside their families, lovers and friends to be
photographed was an act of considerable bravery. During his time at the hospital, he photographed
their treatment and many other aspects of ward life, including the intimate way in which the staff,
patients and their families related to one another. Treatment was not a passive process, but rather
an active engagement on the part of the patients, who were often extremely knowledgeable about
their condition. The staff too became far more attached to their patients than was commonplace in
hospitals at the time. All of the patients in these photographs died soon after the pictures were
116 | P a g e
ART
taken. They were the unlucky ones, who became sick just before treatment became available. The
Ward poignantly reminds us of a different time, how it felt to live with HIV when it was considered a
veritable death sentence, and how the wards at the Middlesex Hospital became unique and special
places full of love.

The Mind Doesn't Work That Way: The Scope and Limits of Computational Psychology
(Representation and Mind series) Kindle Edition
by Jerry A. Fodor (Author)
In this engaging book, Jerry Fodor argues against the widely held view that mental processes are
largely computations, that the architecture of cognition is massively modular, and that the
explanation of our innate mental structure is basically Darwinian. Although Fodor has praised the
computational theory of mind as the best theory of cognition that we have got, he considers it to be
only a fragment of the truth. In fact, he claims, cognitive scientists do not really know much yet
about how the mind works (the book's title refers to Steve Pinker's How the Mind Works).
Fodor's primary aim is to explore the relationship among computational and modular theories of
mind, nativism, and evolutionary psychology. Along the way, he explains how Chomsky's version of
nativism differs from that of the widely received New Synthesis approach. He concludes that
although we have no grounds to suppose that most of the mind is modular, we have no idea how
nonmodular cognition could work. Thus, according to Fodor, cognitive science has hardly gotten
started.

Is this Japanese concept the secret to a long, happy, meaningful life?
While there is no direct English translation, ikigai is thought to combine the Japanese words ikiru,
meaning “to live”, and kai, meaning “the realization of what one hopes for”. Together these
definitions create the concept of “a reason to live” or the idea of having a purpose in life.

I've Decided to Live 120 Years: The Ancient Secret to Longevity, Vitality, and Life Transformation
New York Times bestselling author and one of the most renowned meditation teachers in our time,
Ilchi Lee challenges you to radically rethink your ideas on aging, health, personal fulfillment, and
what's possible in your lifetime. This highly anticipated book has been already loved by many big
name authors including don Miguel Ruiz, Dr. Christiane Northrup, Michael Beckwith, and Dr. Emeran
Mayer. This is the book of life mastery for the brave hearted. For most of our lives, we work hard,
reaching for success, until we are faced with retirement. If you retire at age 65, you may think you
have about 20 more years to relax and enjoy your life. But what if you had more time? What if you
had another 40 or 50 years to live? Would it make a difference in how you lived? Ilchi Lee stresses
that you can extend your life way beyond what most of us have accepted as our biological age limit,
even up to 120 years. But the real question is, can we have not only a long life, but also a fulfilling
one? Lee's answer is a resounding yes, and it starts with the power of choice, a practice of self-
reliance, and most importantly, a greater sense of purpose. A visionary and master teacher who
globalized ancient Korea's mind-body tradition, Ilchi Lee lays out a clear path to a new paradigm of
longevity and mastery of life. Through personal experience, compelling stories, the wisdom of an
ancient Korean holistic practice, and current research on longevity and fulfillment, Lee shows
readers how to live fully at any age without regrets. The inspiration and practical advice you find in

The Doors of Perception: And Heaven and Hell: WITH Heaven and Hell Kindle Edition
by Aldous Huxley (Author), J G Ballard (Introduction)
WITH A FOREWORD J.G. BALLARD
In 1953, in the presence of an investigator, Aldous Huxley took four-tenths of a gramme of mescalin,
sat down and waited to see what would happen. When he opened his eyes everything, from the
flowers in a vase to the creases in his trousers, was transformed. Huxley described his experience
with breathtaking immediacy in The Doors of Perception. In its sequel Heaven and Hell, he goes on
to explore the history and nature of mysticism. Still bristling with a sense of excitement and
discovery, these illuminating and influential writings remain the most fascinating account of the
visionary experience ever written.

The Psychedelic Experience: A Manual Based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead (1964) Kindle Edition
by Timothy Leary (Author)
The Psychedelic Experience: A Manual Based on The Tibetan Book of the Dead (commonly referred
to as The Psychedelic Experience) is an instruction manual intended for use during sessions involving
psychedelic drugs. Started as early as 1962 in Zihuatanejo, the book was finally published in August
1964.[1] This version of Tibetan Book of the Dead was authored by Timothy Leary, Ralph Metzner
and Richard Alpert, all of whom took part in experiments investigating the therapeutic and religious
possibilities of drugs such as mescaline, psilocybin and LSD. The book now in kindle edition is
dedicated to Aldous Huxley and includes a short introductory citation from Huxley's book The Doors
of Perception. Part of this text was used by the Beatles in the song Tomorrow Never Knows.

The Tibetan Book of the Dead: First Complete Translation (Penguin Classics) Kindle Edition
by Graham Coleman (Author, Editor), Thupten Jinpa (Editor), Dalai Lama (Introduction), Gyurme
Dorje (Translator)
The most graceful English translation of this masterpiece of world literature - prepared with the
participation of the Dalai Lama and eminent contemporary masters of this traditin appointed by the
Dalai Lama
One of the greatest works created by any culture and one of the most influential of all Tibetan
Buddhist texts in the West, The Tibetan Book of the Dead has had a number of distinguished
translations, but strangely all of these have been partial abridgements. Now the entire text has not
only been made available in English but in a translation of quite remarkable clarity and beauty. A
comprehensive guide to living and dying, The Tibetan Book of the Dead contains exquisitely written
guidance and practices related to transforming our experience in daily life, on the processes of dying
and the after-death state, and on how to help those who are dying. As originally intended this is as
much a work for the living, as it is for those who wish to think beyond a mere conventional lifetime
to a vastly greater and grander cycle.
'Extraordinary ... this work will be a source of inspiration and support to many' His Holiness the Dalai
Lama

The Leader's Way: Business, Buddhism and Happiness in an Interconnected World Kindle Edition
by HRH the Dalai Lama (Author), Laurens van den Muyzenberg (Author)
Born out of a decade of discussion and collaboration between The Monk and the Management
Consultant - His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Laurens van den Muyzenberg - The Leader's Way
represents the synthesis of East and West and provides an inspiring manifesto for business change.
The world today faces many challenges. While our total wealth has increased enormously and we
benefit from technological miracles, billions of people are living in abject poverty, we face the threat
of environmental disaster, and even those in prosperous nations feel insecure about the future.
Addressing these problems requires a different kind of leadership which sees things as they really
are and resolves them in a holistic way. That is what The Leader's Way offers - a manifesto for
change which can have an impact at every level, from the individual to the global.

Londonstani Kindle Edition
by Gautam Malkani (Author)
‘Londonstani’, Gautam Malkani's electrifying debut, reveals a Britain that has never before been
explored in the novel: a country of young Asians and white boys (desis and goras) trying to work out
a place for themselves in the shadow of the divergent cultures of their parents’ generation.
Set close to the Heathrow feed roads of Hounslow, Malkani shows us the lives of a gang of four
young men: Hardjit the ring leader, a Sikh, violent, determined his caste stay pure; Ravi,
determinedly tactless, a sheep following the herd; Amit, whose brother Arun is struggling to win the
approval of his mother for the Hindu girl he has chosen to marry; and Jas who tells us of his journey
with these three, desperate to win their approval, desperate too for Samira, a Muslim girl, which in
this story can only have bad consequences. Together they cruise the streets in Amit's enhanced
Beemer, making a little money changing the electronic fingerprints on stolen mobile phones, a scam
that leads them into more dangerous waters.
Funny, crude, disturbing, written in the vibrant language of its protagonists – a mix of slang,
Bollywood, texting, Hindu and bastardised gangsta rap – ‘Londonstani’ is about many things:
tribalism, aggressive masculinity, integration, cross-cultural chirpsing techniques, the urban scene
seeping into the mainstream, bling bling economics, 'complicated family-related shit'. It is one of the
most surprising British novels of recent years.

Lost Connections: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression – and the Unexpected Solutions Kindle
Edition
by Johann Hari (Author)
From the New York Times bestselling author of Chasing the Scream, a radically new way of thinking
about depression and anxiety
What really causes depression and anxiety – and how can we really solve them? Award-winning
journalist Johann Hari suffered from depression since he was a child and started taking anti-
depressants when he was a teenager. He was told that his problems were caused by a chemical
imbalance in his brain. As an adult, trained in the social sciences, he began to investigate whether
this was true – and he learned that almost everything we have been told about depression and
anxiety is wrong.
137 | P a g e
ART
Across the world, Hari found social scientists who were uncovering evidence that depression and
anxiety are not caused by a chemical imbalance in our brains. In fact, they are largely caused by key
problems with the way we live today. Hari´s journey took him from a mind-blowing series of
experiments in Baltimore, to an Amish community in Indiana, to an uprising in Berlin. Once he had
uncovered nine real causes of depression and anxiety, they led him to scientists who are discovering
seven very different solutions – ones that work.
It is an epic journey that will change how we think about one of the biggest crises in our culture
today. His TED talk – 'Everything You Think You Know About Addiction Is Wrong' – has been viewed
more than 8 million times and revolutionized the global debate. This book will do the same.

Amazfit promises 45 days of battery life from its $99 smartwatch
Plenty of companies have tried to replicate the success of the Apple Watch, but so far most have

Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress Kindle Edition
by Steven Pinker (Author)
'My new favourite book of all time' Bill Gates
Is modernity really failing? Or have we failed to appreciate progress and the ideals that make it
possible?
140 | P a g e
ART
If you follow the headlines, the world in the 21st century appears to be sinking intochaos, hatred,
and irrationality. Yet Steven Pinker shows that this is an illusion - a symptom of historical amnesia
and statistical fallacies. If you follow the trendlines rather than the headlines, you discover that our
lives have become longer, healthier, safer, happier, morepeaceful, more stimulating and more
prosperous - not just in the West, but worldwide. Such progress is no accident: it's the gift of a
coherent and inspiring value system that many of us embrace without even realizing it. These are
the values of the Enlightenment: of reason, science, humanism and progress.
The challenges we face today are formidable, including inequality, climate change, Artificial
Intelligence and nuclear weapons. Butthe way to deal with them is not to sink into despair or try to
lurch back to a mythical idyllic past; it's to treat them as problems we can solve, as we have solved
otherproblems in the past. In making the case for an Enlightenment newly recharged for the 21st
century, Pinker shows how we can use our faculties of reason and sympathy to solve the problems
that inevitablycome with being products of evolution in an indifferent universe. We will never have a
perfect world, but - defying the chorus of fatalism and reaction - we can continue to make it a better
one.

There's plastic in our drinking water and food.
Approximately 83% of drinking water tested throughout the World contains plastic particles and it is
estimated that by 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. We're crowd funding to
change that, can you help? Scroll down...
What’s the idea?
Operating as a non-profit, We want to collect mixed, contaminated plastic waste usually sent to
landfill – or worse the ocean – and recycle it into a usable material. Through multiple trials we’ve
managed to create a very durable, hard material that can be used for a variety of purposes but we
need your help turning our research into reality.
Why? Because nobody wants to consume plastic in their diet and if we don’t do something now we’ll
end up in an irreversible, unimaginable situation.

Swimming, believes Jenny Landreth, “can be a barometer for women’s equality”. Here she tells the
fascinating story of the inspirational “swimming suffragettes” who went the extra mile, splashing
and smashing through convention. Last week marked the centenary of some women gaining the
right to vote, and Swell shows how other rights were denied, too – it wasn’t until the 1930s that
women had equal access to swimming pools. Social history is interspersed with memoir of the
author’s life in water, from being unable to swim (“the gush of panic at being out of my depth”), to
adventures in night swimming. It’s a pleasure to be immersed in this educative, entertaining
“waterbiography”, capturing how the author found a profound feeling of freedom.

Boying Up: How to Be Brave, Bold and Brilliant Kindle Edition
by Mayim Bialik (Author)
Mayim Bialik, star of The Big Bang Theory and author of the #1 bestseller Girling Up, puts her Ph.D.
to work to talk to teen boys about the science and pressures of growing up male in today's world. A
must-have book for all teenage boys!
Why does my voice crack like that? What should I eat to build muscle? How do I talk to someone I
have a crush on? What do I do if someone calls me names or bullies me?
Growing from a boy to a man is no easy task. Bodies are changing, social circles are evolving, hair is
appearing in places it never was before -- and on top of it all, there's the ever-present pressure to
conform to the typical idea of what it means to be "manly" and masculine. But it's easier to do if
you're armed with facts.
Using personal anecdotes as an overly observant mother of two boys and plenty of scientific
information from her life as a neuroscientist, Mayim Bialik, PhD, star of The Big Bang Theory, talks
directly to teen boys about what it means to grow from a boy to a man biologically, psychologically,
and sociologically. Using the same cool, fun, and friendly tone that she took in Girling Up, Mayim
takes boys--and their parents!--through the challenges and triumphs of Boying Up today.
In six sections (How Boys Bodies Work; How Boys Grow; How Boys Learn; How Boys Cope; How Boys
Love; and How Boys Make a Difference), she takes a look at what it means for boys to come of age in
today's world, how can they take control of their paths, and what can they do to help shape the
types of futures they want for themselves.

The Boys Are Not All Right
I used to have this one-liner: “If you want to emasculate a guy friend, when you’re at a restaurant,
ask him everything that he’s going to order, and then when the waitress comes … order for him.” It’s
funny because it shouldn’t be that easy to rob a man of his masculinity — but it is.

Soil pathogen testing - critical to farming, but painstakingly slow and expensive - will soon be done
accurately, quickly, inexpensively and onsite, thanks to research that Washington State University
scientists plant pathologists are sharing.
As the name implies, these tests detect disease-causing pathogens in the soil that can severely
devastate crops.
Until now, the tests have required large, expensive equipment or lab tests that take weeks.
The soil pathogen analysis process is based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests that are very
specific and sensitive and only possible in a laboratory.
The new methods, designed by WSU plant pathologists, are not only portable and fast, but utilize
testing materials easily available to the public. A paper by the researchers lists all the equipment and

Sweden is so good at recycling that, for several years, it has imported rubbish from other countries
to keep its recycling plants going. Less than 1 per cent of Swedish household waste was sent to
landfill last year or any year since 2011.
We can only dream of such an effective system in the UK, which is why we end up paying expensive
transport costs to send rubbish to be recycled overseas rather than paying fines to send it to landfill
under The Landfill Tax of 1996.

The UK has made strides in the proportion of waste recycled under an EU target of 50 per cent by
2020. This has underpinned hundreds of millions of pounds of investment into recycling facilities and

the UK peaked at around 45 per cent of all waste in 2014.

War is a Racket Kindle Edition
by Smedley Butler (Author), Simon Fretwell (Editor)
In War Is A Racket, Butler points to a variety of examples, mostly from World War I, where
industrialists whose operations were subsidised by public funding were able to generate substantial
profits essentially from mass human suffering.
The work is divided into five chapters:
1. War is a racket
2. Who makes the profits?
3. Who pays the bills?
4. How to smash this racket!
5. To hell with war!
It contains this key summary:
152 | P a g e
ART
"War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the
most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are
reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is
not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small 'inside' group knows what it is about. It
is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few
people make huge fortunes."
In another often cited quote from the book Butler says:
"I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my
time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a
racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American
oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to
collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit
of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in
1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I
helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see
to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone
a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three
continents."
The book is also interesting historically as Butler points out in 1935 that the US is engaging in military
war games in the Pacific that are bound to provoke the Japanese.
"The Japanese, a proud people, of course will be pleased beyond expression to see the United States
fleet so close to Nippon's shores. Even as pleased as would be the residents of California were they
to dimly discern through the morning mist, the Japanese fleet playing at war games off Los Angeles."
Butler explains that the excuse for the buildup of the US fleet and the war games is fear that "the
great fleet of this supposed enemy will strike suddenly and annihilate 125,000,000 people."
In his 1987 biography of Butler, Maverick Marine, Hans Schmidt gave a brief review:
"Butler's particular contribution was his recantation, denouncing war on moral grounds after having
been a warrior hero and spending most of his life as a military insider. The theme remained
vigorously patriotic and nationalistic, decrying imperialism as a disgrace rooted in the greed of a
privileged few."

Howl, Kaddish and Other Poems (Penguin Modern Classics) Kindle Edition
by Allen Ginsberg (Author)
153 | P a g e
ART
Allen Ginsberg was the bard of the beat generation, and Howl, Kaddish and Other Poems is a
collection of his finest work published in Penguin Modern Classics, including 'Howl', whose
vindication at an obscenity trial was a watershed moment in twentieth-century history.
'I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked'
Beat movement icon and visionary poet, Allen Ginsberg broke boundaries with his fearless,
pyrotechnic verse. This new collection brings together the famous poems that made his name as a
defining figure of the counterculture. They include the apocalyptic 'Howl', which became the subject
of an obscenity trial when it was first published in 1956; the moving lament for his dead mother,
'Kaddish'; the searing indictment of his homeland, 'America'; and the confessional 'Mescaline'. Dark,
ecstatic and rhapsodic, they show why Ginsberg was one of the most influential poets of the
twentieth century.
Allen Ginsberg (1926-97) was an American poet, best known for the poem 'Howl' (1956), celebrating
his friends of the Beat Generation and attacking what he saw as the destructive forces of
materialism and conformity in the United States at the time. He was inducted into the American
Academy of Arts and Letters, was awarded the medal of Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres
by the French Minister of Culture, won the National Book Award for The Fall of America and was a
co-founder of the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at the Naropa Institute, the first
accredited Buddhist college in the Western world.
If you enjoyed Howl, Kaddish and Other Poems, you might like Jack Kerouac's On the Road, also
available in Penguin Modern Classics.

The Classic Tradition of Haiku: An Anthology (Dover Thrift Editions) Kindle Edition
by Faubion Bowers (Author, Editor)
A highly distilled form of Japanese poetry, haiku consists of seventeen syllables, usually divided
among three lines. Though brief, they tell a story or paint a vivid picture, leaving it to the reader to
draw out the meanings and complete them in the mind's eye. Haiku often contains a hidden dualism
(near and far, then and now, etc.) and has a seasonal tie-in, as well as specific word-images that
reveal deeper layers in each poem.
This unique collection spans over 400 years (1488–1902) of haiku history by the greatest masters:
Bashō, Issa, Shiki, and many more, in translations by top-flight scholars in the field. Haiku commands
enormous respect in Japan. Now readers of poetry in the West can savor these expressive

masterpieces in this treasury compiled by noted writer Faubion Bowers, who provides a Foreword
and many informative notes to the poems.

Brainy and Benighted, Lost in the Books of Bolaño and Borges
CALL ME ZEBRA
By Azareen Van der Vliet Oloomi
292 pp. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. $24.
There’s a first-person poem by Baudelaire, not particularly well known, though it’s one of his
“Flowers of Evil,” called “L’Héautontimouroménos” (“The Self-Tormenter”) in which he describes the
all-consuming masochistic act of writing. Ink, he declares, fills the writer’s veins: “It’s all my blood,
this black poison! / I am the sinister mirror / Where the Fury sees herself.”

Les fleurs du mal: a new translation by Eric Gans Kindle Edition
by Charles Baudelaire (Author), Eric Gans (Translator)
For sheer reading pleasure and fidelity to its source, this entirely new translation of Baudelaire’s
magnum opus is matchless. With admirable disregard for the fashionable cliché according to which
poetry is fundamentally “untranslatable,” Eric Gans works from the startling premise that the
greatest French poet of the nineteenth century can indeed be rendered in English without significant
loss of meaning or effect. His daring approach involves sticking as closely as possible to the French
original, combining the translator’s modesty with a remarkable poetic talent, in order to showcase
not his own ingenuity but Baudelaire’s distinctive vision. Poetry lovers and students of French
literature alike will applaud the result.

Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung: The Little Red Book Kindle Edition
Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-Tung (Mao Zedong) is a book of selected statements from
speeches and writings by Mao, the former Chairman of the Communist Party of China, published
from 1964 to about 1976 and widely distributed during the Cultural Revolution.
The most popular versions were printed in small sizes that could be easily carried and were bound in
bright red covers, becoming commonly known in the West as the Little Red Book.
Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-Tung was originally compiled by an office of the PLA Daily
(People's Liberation Army Daily) as an inspirational political and military document. The initial
publication covered 23 topics with 200 selected quotations by the Chairman of the Chinese
Communist Party, and was entitled 200 Quotations from Chairman Mao. It was first given to
delegates of a conference on 5 January 1964 who were asked to comment on it. In response to the
views of the deputies and compilers of the book, the work was expanded to address 25 topics with
267 quotations, and the title was changed simply to Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-Tung.
The first draw of which approximately 50 to 60 000 copies were printed, was not for sale but was to
provide guidance to members of the People's Liberation Army. In 1967 the book had already been
translated into more than 36 languages and over 720 million copies had been printed. The Little Red
Book is illustrated by Hou Bo photographs while it is trapped in a laogai (re-education camps).

Red Clocks by Leni Zumas review – if abortion were outlawed in the US …
Unforgettable characters drive this electrifying vision of a dystopian US, inspired by Margaret
Atwood
In Leni Zumas’s intense, beautifully crafted novel, abortion has been outlawed across the US. Further
draconian policies follow: laws against the disposal of fertilised embryos and the Every Child Needs
Two act, which forbids adoption by single parents. These are intended to imprison women in
outgrown roles, but they are hardly impossible to imagine in the America of 2018. The new laws
affect the four women who narrate Red Clocks in different ways, but all of them feel the pinch.

The Most Realistic Surrealism I’ve Ever Read: The Complete Stories of Leonora Carrington
Leonora Carrington was a surrealist painter and writer. She lived from 1917 to 2011, making her the
last living surrealist. Here’s a thing, though: I’m not so sure she was a surrealist?
Like previous TBR Stack author Anna Kavan, Leonora Carrington went mad for a while, did a stint in
an asylum, and wrote about it later. How many creative women have gone mad? And is it madness
when you fall into despair at the state of your world? In Carrington’s case because her lover, Max
Ernst, 26 years her senior, ditched her and fled into the American arms of Peggy Guggenheim when
the Nazis invaded France.

future? Does it make you want to ignore the headlines, but leave you guilty for not engaging at the

too – one that doesn’t get reported? Then bear with me, because there is good news.

A Virginia judge handed down an unusual sentence last year after five teenagers defaced a historic
black schoolhouse with swastikas and the words “white power” and “black power.”
Instead of spending time in community service, Judge Avelina Jacob decided, the youths should read
a book.
But not just any book. They had to choose from a list of ones covering some of history’s most divisive
and tragic periods.
The horrors of the Holocaust awaited them in “Night,” by Elie Wiesel. The racism of the Jim Crow
South was there in Maya Angelou’s “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.” The brutal hysteria of
persecution could be explored in “The Crucible” by Arthur Miller.

If you're a runner who's serious about comfort, you should know about this super cushioned pair

HOKA ONE ONE shoes have become synonymous for many long-distance runners with premium
cushioning, and they can be easily identified by their unusual style.
HOKA uses high-tech foam and inventions like a Meta-Rocker design, Active Foot Frame, J-Frame,
and a dual-density midsole to make a shoe that provides maximum comfort with minimal weight.
The HOKA ONE ONE Bondi 5 (which I tried) delivered on all the company's big claims; the sneakers
had impressive bounce, comfort, stability, and still felt lightweight.

The Secret Barrister: Stories of the Law and How It's Broken Kindle Edition
by The Secret Barrister (Author)
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
'Eye-opening, damning and hilarious' Tim Shipman, author of All Out War and Fall Out
“I’m a barrister, a job which requires the skills of a social worker, relationship counsellor, arm-
twister, hostage negotiator, named driver, bus fare-provider, accountant, suicide watchman, coffee-
supplier, surrogate parent and, on one memorable occasion, whatever the official term is for
someone tasked with breaking the news to a prisoner that his girlfriend has been diagnosed with
gonorrhoea.”
Welcome to the world of the Secret Barrister. These are the stories of life inside the courtroom.
They are sometimes funny, often moving and ultimately life-changing.
How can you defend a child-abuser you suspect to be guilty? What do you say to someone
sentenced to ten years who you believe to be innocent? What is the law and why do we need it?
And why do they wear those stupid wigs?
From the criminals to the lawyers, the victims, witnesses and officers of the law, here is the best and
worst of humanity, all struggling within a broken system which would never be off the front pages if
the public knew what it was really like.
Both a searing first-hand account of the human cost of the criminal justice system, and a guide to
how we got into this mess, The Secret Barrister wants to show you what it’s really like and why it
really matters.

The Last Lecture: Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams - Lessons in Living Kindle Edition
by Randy Pausch (Author), Jeffrey Zaslow (Author)
A lot of professors give talks titled ‘The Last Lecture’. Professors are asked to consider their demise
and to ruminate on what matters most to them: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we
knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy?
When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a
lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal
cancer. But the lecture he gave, ‘Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams’ wasn’t about dying. It was
about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every
168 | P a g e

moment (because time is all you have and you may find one day that you have less than you think).
It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living.
In this book, Randy Pausch has combined the humour, inspiration, and intelligence that made his
lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will be shared for
generations to come.

Rachel Kushner's new novel, 'The Mars Room,' is devastating
To be quiet in a prison, an incarcerated student once told me, is to admit you're there. During the
classes I taught at a women's correctional facility in New York, students often wrote about their
desire to shout, how the sound of their voices carrying down a hall could feel like proof of still being
alive.
Rachel Kushner's devastating third novel "The Mars Room" opens with women shackled inside a bus,
shouting at each other as they travel at 2 a.m. from one prison to another. From the first scene it's
clear Kushner recognizes how charged conversations become when speaking is one of the few rights
people have left after being "yanked from life, arrested, numbered, ingested, and exposed."

by Asma Lamrabet (Author), Myriam Francois-Cerrah (Translator)
Today, the issue of Muslim women is held hostage between two perceptions: a conservative Islamic
approach and a liberal Western approach. At the heart of this debate Muslim women are seeking to
reclaim their right to speak in order to re-appropriate their own destinies, calling for the equality and
liberation that is at the heart of the Qur'an.
However, with few female commentators on the meaning of the Qur'an and an overreliance on the
readings of the Qur'an compiled centuries ago this message is often lost. In this book Asma
Lamrabet demands a rereading of the Qur'an by women that focuses on its spiritual and humanistic
messages in order to alter the lived reality on the ground.
By acknowledging the oppression of women, to different degrees, in social systems organized in the
name of religion and also rejecting a perspective that seeks to promote Western values as the only
means of liberating them, the author is able to define a new way. One in which their refusal to
remain silent is an act of devotion and their demand for reform will lead to liberation.
Asma Lamarbet is a pathologist in Avicenna Hospital, Rabat, Morocco. She is also an award-winning
author of many articles and books tackling Islam and women's issues.
Myriam Francois-Cerrah is a writer and broadcaster whose articles have been published in the
Guardian, Salon, and elsewhere.

Barracoon: The Story of the Last Slave edition Edition, Kindle Edition
by Zora Neale Hurston (Author), Alice Walker (Foreword)
A major literary event: a newly published work from the author of the American classic Their Eyes
Were Watching God, with a foreword from Pulitzer Prize-winning author Alice Walker, brilliantly
illuminates the horror and injustices of slavery as it tells the true story of one of the last-known
survivors of the Atlantic slave trade.
In 1927, Zora Neale Hurston went to Plateau, Alabama, just outside Mobile, to interview eighty-six-
year-old Cudjo Lewis, who was abducted from Africa on the last "Black Cargo" ship to arrive in the
United States. Of the millions of men, women, and children transported from Africa to America as
slaves, Cudjo was then the only person alive to tell the story of this integral part of the nation’s
170 | P a g e
ART
history. Hurston was there to record Cudjo’s firsthand account of the raid that led to his capture and
bondage fifty years after the Atlantic slave trade was outlawed in the United States.
In 1931, Hurston returned to Plateau, the African-centric community three miles from Mobile
founded by Cudjo and other former slaves from his ship. Spending more than three months there,
she talked in depth with Cudjo about the details of his life. During those weeks, the young writer and
the elderly formerly enslaved man ate peaches and watermelon that grew in the backyard and
talked about Cudjo’s past—memories from his childhood in Africa, the horrors of being captured and
held in a barracoon for selection by American slavers, the harrowing experience of the Middle
Passage packed with more than 100 other souls aboard the Clotilda, and the years he spent in
slavery until the end of the Civil War.
Based on those interviews, featuring Cudjo’s unique vernacular, and written from Hurston’s
perspective with the compassion and singular style that have made her one of the preeminent
American authors of the twentieth-century, Barracoon masterfully illustrates the tragedy of slavery
and of one life forever defined by it. Offering insight into the pernicious legacy that continues to
haunt us all, black and white, this poignant and powerful work is an invaluable contribution to our
shared history and culture.

Meditation For Fidgety Skeptics: A 10% Happier How-To Book Kindle Edition
by Dan Harris (Author)
171 | P a g e
ART
ABC News anchor Dan Harris used to think that meditation was for people who collect crystals, play
Ultimate Frisbee, and use the word "namaste" without irony. After he had a panic attack on live
television, he went on a strange and circuitous journey that ultimately led him to become one of
meditation's most vocal public proponents.
Here's what he's fixated on now: Science suggests that meditation can lower blood pressure,
mitigate depression and anxiety, and literally rewire key parts of the brain, among numerous other
benefits. And yet there are millions of people who want to meditate but aren't actually practising.
What's holding them back?
In this guide to mindfulness and meditation for beginners and experienced meditators alike, Harris
and his friend Jeff Warren, embark on a cross-country quest to tackle the myths, misconceptions,
and self-deceptions that stop people from meditating. They rent a rock-star tour bus and travel
across eighteen states, talking to scores of would-be meditators, including parents, police officers,
and even a few celebrities. They create a taxonomy of the most common issues ("I suck at this," "I
don't have the time," etc.) and offer up science-based life hacks to help people overcome them.
The book is filled with game-changing and deeply practical meditation instructions. Amid it all
unspools the strange and hilarious story of what happens when a congenitally sarcastic, type-A
journalist and a groovy Canadian mystic embark on an epic road trip into America's neurotic
underbelly, as well as their own.

The Balance Within: The Science Connecting Health and Emotions Kindle Edition
by Esther M., M.D. Sternberg (Author)
Since ancient times humans have felt intuitively that emotions and health are linked, and recently
there has been much popular speculation about this notion. But until now, without compelling
evidence, it has been impossible to say for sure that such a connection really exists and especially
how it works.
Now, that evidence has been discovered.
A thrilling scientific detective story, The Balance Within tells how researchers finally uncovered the
elusive mind-body connection and what it means for our health. In this beautifully written book, Dr.
Esther Sternberg, whose discoveries were pivotal in helping to solve this mystery, provides first hand
accounts of the breakthrough experiments that revealed the physical mechanisms - the nerves, cells,
and hormones - used by the brain and immune system to communicate with each other. She
describes just how stress can make us more susceptible to all types of illnesses, and how the
immune system can alter our moods. Finally, she explains how our understanding of these
connections in scientific terms is helping to answer such crucial questions as "Does stress make you
sick?" "Is a positive outlook the key to better health?" and "How do our personal relationships, work,
and other aspects of our lives affect our health?"
172 | P a g e

A fascinating, elegantly written portrait of this rapidly emerging field with enormous potential for
finding new ways to treat disease and cope with stress, The Balance Within is essential reading for
anyone interested in making their body and mind whole again.

Inadvertent cross-dressing
Attempted murder
Jail break
A waltz at a funeral
A hernia the size of Guernsey
Heartbreaking and darkly comic, these are the moments that litter the messy road from cared-for to
carer, a journey that Robyn Hollingworth finds herself on when she's only twenty-five years old.
Leaving London to return home to rural South Wales, Robyn finds that it's her old life - same teddy
bears resting on her pillow, their bodies tucked under the duvet; same view of the garages behind
which she'd had her first cigarette and first kiss - but so much has changed.
Her dad, the proud, charmingly intelligent, self-made man who made people laugh, is in the grip of
early onset Alzheimer's. His brilliant mind, which saw him building power stations and literally
bringing light into the lives of others, has succumbed to darkness.
As Robyn settles back in the rhythms of life in the rain-soaked vast Welsh valleys, she keeps a diary
charting her journey as the dad she knew disappears before her eyes. Lyrical, poignant and with
flashes of brilliant humour, My Mad Dad explores how in helping others we can heal ourselves.

Fahrenheit 451 (Flamingo Modern Classics) New Ed Edition, Kindle Edition
by Ray Bradbury (Author)
The hauntingly prophetic classic novel set in a not-too-distant future where books are burned by a
special task force of firemen.
Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to burn books, which are forbidden, being the source of all
discord and unhappiness. Even so, Montag is unhappy; there is discord in his marriage. Are books
hidden in his house? The Mechanical Hound of the Fire Department, armed with a lethal
hypodermic, escorted by helicopters, is ready to track down those dissidents who defy society to
preserve and read books.
The Classic novel of a post-literate future, Fahrenheit 451 is part of the Voyager Classic series. It
stands alongside Orwell’s 1984 and Huxley’s Brave New World as a prophetic account of Western
civilization’s enslavement by the media, drugs and conformity.
Bradbury’s powerful and poetic prose combines with uncanny insight into the potential of
technology to creat a novel which, forty years on from first publication, still has the power to dazzle
and shock.

1963: A Slice of Bread and Jam Paperback – 26 Jan 2017
by Tommy Rhattigan (Author)
**THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER** Amid the derelict terraced houses of Manchester's Hulme, is
one boy's year of adventure, abuse, crippling poverty and an encounter with The Moors Murderers.
A raw and often funny snapshot of 7-year-old Tommy s brutal young life. He moves us through his
daily struggle with poverty and neglect in 1960s Manchester like it s the most natural thing in the
world. Tommy lives at the heart of a large Irish family in derelict Hulme, ruled by an abusive and
alcoholic father and a drunk, negligent mother. Alongside his siblings he begs or steals a few pennies
to bring home to his parents to avoid a beating, while looking for something to eat and a little
adventure along the way. With an unlikely sense of fun and a huge dose of good humour, Tommy
introduces us to his foul-mouthed and chaotic family members. Deeply flawed they may be, but
amongst the violence, grinding poverty and distinct lack of hygiene and morality lies a strong sense
of loyalty and, above all, survival. During this single year before his family implodes and his world
changes forever young Tommy almost falls foul of the school welfare officers, the nuns, the police
and Myra Hindley and Ian Brady.

Death in Ten Minutes: Kitty Marion: Activist. Arsonist. Suffragette. Kindle Edition
by Fern Riddell (Author)
'Fierce, fresh and feminist, Fern Riddell tells the story of Suffragette Kitty Marion in a way that fizzes
and shocks. Exciting, twisty and very very timely.' Lucy Worsley
'History with no dust.' Matt Haig
In Death in Ten Minutes Fern Riddell uncovers the story of radical suffragette Kitty Marion, told
through never before seen personal diaries in Kitty's own hand.
Kitty Marion was sent across the country by the Pankhurst family to carry out a nationwide
campaign of bombings and arson attacks, as women fought for the vote using any means necessary.
But in the aftermath of World War One, the dangerous and revolutionary actions of Kitty and other
militant suffragettes were quickly hushed up and disowned by the previously proud movement, and
the women who carried out these attacks were erased from our history. Now, for the first time, their
untold story will be brought back to life.

Telling a new history of the women's movement in the light of new and often shocking revelations,
this book will ask the question: Why has the life of this incredible woman, and the violence of the
suffragettes been forgotten? And, one hundred years later, why are women suddenly finding
themselves under threat again?

The Spy Who Changed History: The Untold Story of How the Soviet Union Won the Race for
America’s Top Secrets Kindle Edition
by Svetlana Lokhova (Author)
On the trail of Soviet infiltrator Agent Blériot, Svetlana Lokhova takes the reader on a thrilling
journey through Stalin’s most audacious intelligence operation.
On a sunny September day in 1931, a Soviet spy walked down the gangplank of the luxury
transatlantic liner SS Europa and into New York. Attracting no attention, Stanislav Shumovsky had
completed his journey from Moscow to enrol at a top American university. He was concealed in a
group of 65 Soviet students heading to prestigious academic institutions. But he was after far more
than an excellent education.
Recognising Russia was 100 years behind the encircling capitalist powers, Soviet leader Joseph Stalin
had sent Shumovsky on a mission to acquire America’s vital secrets to help close the USSR’s yawning
technology gap. The road to victory began in the classrooms and laboratories of MIT – Shumovsky’s
destination soon became the unwitting finishing school for elite Russian spies. The USSR first
transformed itself into a military powerhouse able to confront and defeat Nazi Germany. Then in an
178 | P a g e
ART
extraordinary feat that astonished the West, in 1947 American ingenuity and innovation exfiltrated
by Shumovsky made it possible to build and unveil the most advanced strategic bomber in the world.
Following his lead, other MIT-trained Soviet spies helped acquire the secrets of the Manhattan
Project. By 1949, Stalin’s fleet of TU-4s, now equipped with atomic bombs could devastate the US on
his command. Appropriately codenamed BLÉRIOT, Shumovsky was an aviation spy. Shumovsky’s
espionage was so successful that the USSR acquired every US aviation secret from his network of
agents in factories and at top secret military research institutes.
In this thrilling history, Svetlana Lokhova takes the reader on a journey through Stalin’s most
audacious intelligence operation. She pieces together every aspect of Shumovsky’s life and character
using information derived from American and Russian archives, exposing how even Shirley Temple
and Franklin D. Roosevelt unwittingly advanced his schemes.

Let Your Mind Run: A Memoir of Thinking My Way to Victory Kindle Edition
by Deena Kastor (Author), Michelle Hamilton (Author)
Deena Kastor was a star youth runner with tremendous promise, yet her career almost ended after
college, when her competitive method—run as hard as possible, for fear of losing—fostered a
frustration and negativity and brought her to the brink of burnout. On the verge of quitting, she took
a chance and moved to the high altitudes of Alamosa, Colorado, where legendary coach Joe Vigil had
started the first professional distance-running team. There she encountered the idea that would
transform her running career: the notion that changing her thinking—shaping her mind to be more
encouraging, kind, and resilient—could make her faster than she’d ever imagined possible. Building
a mind so strong would take years of effort and discipline, but it would propel Kastor to the pinnacle
of running—to American records in every distance from the 5K to the marathon—and to the
accomplishment of earning America’s first Olympic medal in the marathon in twenty years.
Let Your Mind Run is a fascinating intimate look inside the mind of an elite athlete, a remarkable
story of achievement, and an insightful primer on how the small steps of cultivating positivity can
give anyone a competitive edge.

My Life with the Taliban 1st Edition, Kindle Edition
by Abdul Salam Zaeef (Author)
This is the autobiography of Abdul Salam Zaeef, a senior former member of the Taliban. His
memoirs, translated from Pashto, are more than just a personal account of his extraordinary life. My
Life with the Taliban offers a counter-narrative to the standard accounts of Afghanistan since 1979.
Zaeef describes growing up in rural poverty in Kandahar province. Both of his parents died at an
early age, and the Russian invasion of 1979 forced him to flee to Pakistan. He started fighting the
jihad in 1983, during which time he was associated with many major figures in the anti-Soviet
resistance, including the current Taliban head Mullah Mohammad Omar. After the war Zaeef
returned to a quiet life in a small village in Kandahar, but chaos soon overwhelmed Afghanistan as
factional fighting erupted after the Russians pulled out. Disgusted by the lawlessness that ensued,
Zaeef was one among the former mujahidin who were closely involved in the discussions that led to
the emergence of the Taliban, in 1994. Zaeef then details his Taliban career as civil servant and
minister who negotiated with foreign oil companies as well as with Afghanistan's own resistance
leader, Ahmed Shah Massoud. Zaeef was ambassador to Pakistan at the time of the 9/11 attacks,
and his account discusses the strange "phoney war" period before the US-led intervention toppled
the Taliban. In early 2002 Zaeef was handed over to American forces in Pakistan, notwithstanding his
diplomatic status, and spent four and a half years in prison (including several years in Guantanamo)
before being released without having been tried or charged with any offence. My Life with the
Taliban offers a personal and privileged insight into the rural Pashtun village communities that are
the Taliban's bedrock. It helps to explain what drives men like Zaeef to take up arms against the
foreigners who are foolish enough to invade his homeland.

Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress Kindle Edition
by Steven Pinker (Author)
'My new favourite book of all time' Bill Gates
TOP TEN SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
Is modernity really failing? Or have we failed to appreciate progress and the ideals that make it
possible?
If you follow the headlines, the world in the 21st century appears to be sinking into chaos, hatred,
and irrationality. Yet Steven Pinker shows that this is an illusion - a symptom of historical amnesia
and statistical fallacies. If you follow the trendlines rather than the headlines, you discover that our
lives have become longer, healthier, safer, happier, more peaceful, more stimulating and more
prosperous - not just in the West, but worldwide. Such progress is no accident: it's the gift of a
coherent and inspiring value system that many of us embrace without even realizing it. These are
the values of the Enlightenment: of reason, science, humanism and progress.
The challenges we face today are formidable, including inequality, climate change, Artificial
Intelligence and nuclear weapons. But the way to deal with them is not to sink into despair or try to
lurch back to a mythical idyllic past; it's to treat them as problems we can solve, as we have solved
other problems in the past. In making the case for an Enlightenment newly recharged for the 21st
century, Pinker shows how we can use our faculties of reason and sympathy to solve the problems
that inevitably come with being products of evolution in an indifferent universe. We will never have
a perfect world, but - defying the chorus of fatalism and reaction - we can continue to make it a
better one.

UK’s first energy positive classroom produces 1.5x the energy it uses

After one year in operation, the numbers are in: the United Kingdom‘s first energy-positive
classroom is capable of producing 1.5 times the amount of energy it needs to operate. Known as the
Active Classroom, the energy-producing classroom stands as a shining example of what is possible as
the U.K. and other nations attempt to transform their energy systems in response to climate change.
The building was designed by experts at SPECIFIC, a U.K. Innovation and Knowledge Center led by
Swansea University, whose “research focuses on developing solar technologies and the processing
techniques that take them from the lab to full-scale buildings,” according to its research director
Dave Worsley. Currently, 40 percent of British energy is consumed by buildings.

Moreover, the school is visually tied to its neighbors with a contemporary zigzagging roof that

Billion Tree Tsunami Afforestation Project is aimed at planning, designing, commencing and
implementing “Green Growth Initiative” in the Forestry Sector of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province. The
project will thus, support Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Forest Department, as a catalyst, to plan, design, and
launch sustainable development in the Forestry Sector (through active involvement of local
communities ) and promote green jobs. It will accordingly result in enhancement of forest resource
base, rehabilitation and improvement of existing forest ecosystems of the province, arresting
environmental degradation, livelihood improvement and job creation for rural youth at their door-
step. The project objectives are thus positively correlated with the sector objectives both at federal
and provincial levels.
Since, the project aims at improving ecosystem of classified forests, as well as privately owned waste
and farm lands, the project therefore entails working in close collaboration with concerned
communities/stakeholders to ensure their meaningful participation through effectuating project
promotion and extension services.

Synesthesia Paperback – 17 Apr 2018
By Richard E. Cytowic (Author)
An accessible, concise primer on the neurological trait of synesthesia-vividly felt sensory couplings-
by a founder of the field. One in twenty-three people carry the genes for the synesthesia. Not a
disorder but a neurological trait-like perfect pitch-synesthesia creates vividly felt cross-sensory
couplings. A synesthete might hear a voice and at the same time see it as a color or shape, taste its
distinctive flavor, or feel it as a physical touch. In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge
series, Richard Cytowic, the expert who returned synesthesia to mainstream science after decades
of oblivion, offers a concise, accessible primer on this fascinating human experience. Cytowic
explains that synesthesia's most frequent manifestation is seeing days of the week as colored,
followed by sensing letters, numerals, and punctuation marks in different hues even when printed in
black. Other manifestations include tasting food in shapes, seeing music in moving colors, and
mapping numbers and other sequences spatially. One synesthete declares, "Chocolate smells pink
and sparkly"; another invents a dish (chicken, vanilla ice cream, and orange juice concentrate) that
tastes intensely blue. Cytowic, who in the 1980s revived scientific interest in synesthesia, sees it now
understood as a spectrum, an umbrella term that covers five clusters of outwardly felt couplings that
can occur via several pathways. Yet synesthetic or not, each brain uniquely filters what it perceives.
Cytowic reminds us that each individual's perspective on the world is thoroughly subjective.

Rat Race - A short film story by Steve Cutts
15 things School doesn't teach you : https://youtu.be/QGF7hdI8IkE
Watch IS THIS YOUR LIFE ? - A short film :
https://youtu.be/rTy3lyrZ28Y
A rat race is an endless, self-defeating, or pointless pursuit. It conjures up the image of lab rats
racing through a maze to get the "cheese" much like society racing to get ahead financially.
The term is commonly associated with an exhausting, repetitive lifestyle that leaves no time for
relaxation or enjoyment.

At its worst, depression can be a frightening, debilitating condition. Millions of people around the
world live with depression. Many of these individuals and their families are afraid to talk about their
struggles, and don't know where to turn for help. However, depression is largely preventable and
treatable. Recognizing depression and seeking help is the first and most critical towards recovery.
In collaboration with WHO to mark World Mental Health Day, writer and illustrator Matthew

Is this the greatest novel you’ve never heard of?
Man Booker Prize-winner Marlon James champions the great lost novel Oreo by Fran Ross, with
Samira Ahmed.
Fran Ross was an academic prodigy, a New Yorker of mixed black and white Jewish parentage who
went on to write for comedian Richard Pryor in Hollywood but died of cancer very young. Oreo,
originally published in 1974, is her only novel. Written at the height of the black power movement,
it’s a wild comedy about a young woman trying to find her absent father. The story, written in a
multitude of languages and styles, features Greek mythology and a heroine fighting off would be
rapists and pimps with martial arts.

Oreo (Picador Classic) Paperback – 12 Jul 2018
by Fran Ross (Author)
With an introduction by the Man Booker Prize-winning author of A Brief History of Seven Killings,
Marlon James
‘A rollicking little masterpiece . . . one of the most delightful, hilarious, intelligent novels I’ve
stumbled across in recent years’ Paul Auster
Oreo has been raised by her maternal grandparents in Philadelphia. Her black mother tours with a
theatrical troupe, and her Jewish deadbeat dad disappeared when she was an infant, leaving behind
a mysterious note. Oreo’s quest is to find her father, and discover the secret of her birth.
What ensues in Fran Ross's opus is a playful, modernized parody of the classical odyssey of Theseus
with a feminist twist, immersed in seventies pop culture, and mixing standard English, black
vernacular, and Yiddish with wisecracking aplomb.
Oreo, our young hero, navigates the labyrinth of sound studios and brothels and subway tunnels in
Manhattan, seeking to claim her birthright while unwittingly experiencing and triggering a mythic
journey of self-discovery like no other.

Second-Order Thinking: What Smart People Use to Outperform
Sometimes when we solve one problem, we end up unintentionally creating another one that’s
worse. Second-order thinking helps identify the second and subsequent order consequences of a
decision before they happen. Knowing these problems before they occur allows us to take steps now
to avoid problems later.
Consider a country that, wanting to inspire regime change in another country, funds and provides
weapons to a group of “moderate rebels.” Only it turns out that those moderate rebels will become
powerful and then go to war with the sponsoring country for decades. Whoops.

The Essential Dykes To Watch Out Paperback – 4 Dec 2008
by Alison Bechdel (Author)
A collection of comic strips by the internationally-acclaimed graphic-literary talent Alison Bechdel

offers an acerbically funny insight into the lesbian culture of 1980s America
Bechdel's brilliantly imagined counter-cultural band of friends - academics, social workers,

booksellers - fall in and out of love, negotiate relationships, raise children, switch careers and cope
with aging parents. The Essential Dykes To Watch Out For fuses high and low culture - from foreign
domestic policy to domestic routine, postmodern theory to hot sex - in a serial graphic narrative
'suitable for all humanist persuasions'.
Alison Bechdel has been chronicling the lives of a small universe of cartoon characters in her strip
Dykes To Watch Out For, which has been syndicated in fifty alternative newspapers in the USA and
has been published in eleven volumes. For this first time, this collection gathers the best of those
volumes.

About Carl Bernstein
In the early 1970s, Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward broke the Watergate story for The
Washington Post, leading to the resignation of President Richard Nixon and setting the standard for
modern investigative reporting, for which they and The Post were awarded the Pulitzer Prize.
The author of five best-selling books, Bernstein is currently at work on several multi-media projects,
including a memoir about growing up at a Washington newspaper, The Evening Star, during the
Kennedy era; and a dramatic TV series about the United States Congress for HBO. He is also an on-air
political analyst for CNN and a contributing editor of Vanity Fair magazine.
His most recent book was the national bestseller A Woman In Charge: The Life of Hillary Rodham
Clinton, acclaimed as the definitive biography of its subject, published by Knopf.
With Woodward, Bernstein wrote two classic best-sellers: All the President’s Men (also a movie
starring Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman), about their coverage of the Watergate story; and The
Final Days, about the denouement of the Nixon presidency.
He is also the author of a memoir of his family’s experience in the McCarthy era, entitled Loyalties: A
Son’s Memoir; and the co-author of the definitive papal biography, His Holiness: John Paul II and the
History of Our Time, which detailed the Pope’s pivotal and often clandestine role in the fall of
communism.
Bernstein was born and raised in Washington, DC and began his journalism career at age 16 as a
copyboy, becoming a reporter at 19. He lives in New York with his wife and is the father of two sons,
one a journalist and the other a rock musician.

With authoritative reporting honed through eight presidencies from Nixon to Obama, Woodward
reveals in unprecedented detail the harrowing life inside Donald Trump’s White House and how the
president makes decisions on major foreign and domestic policies.

A House For Mr Biswas: Picador Classic Kindle Edition
by V.S. Naipaul (Author)
With an introduction by Teju Cole
He was struck again and again by the wonder of being in his own house, the audacity of it: to walk in
through his own front gate, to bar entry to whoever he wished, to close his doors and windows
every night.
Mr. Biswas has been told since the day of his birth that misfortune will follow him - and so it has.
Meaning only to avoid punishment, he causes the death of his father and the dissolution of his
family. Wanting simply to flirt with a beautiful woman, he ends up marrying her, and reluctantly
relying on her domineering family for support. But in spite of endless setbacks, Mr. Biswas is
determined to achieve independence, and so he begins his gruelling struggle to buy a home of his
own.
A House for Mr Biswas is Nobel Prize in Literature winner V. S. Naipaul's unforgettable masterpiece.
Heart-rending and darkly comic, it has been hailed as one of the twentieth century's finest novels, a
classic that evokes a man's quest for autonomy against the backdrop of post-colonial Trinidad.
'A work of great comic power qualified with firm and unsentimental compassion' Anthony Burgess

prize-winning work Inferior: The True Power of Women and the Science that Shows It. “There are

The Boy with the Topknot: A Memoir of Love, Secrets and Lies in Wolverhampton Kindle Edition
by Sathnam Sanghera (Author)
NOW A BBC DRAMA
The Boy With the Topknot: A Memoir of Love, Secrets and Lies in Wolverhampton is a hilarious and
heart-rending tale of what it is like to grow up different in modern Britain.
"It's 1979, I'm three years old, and like all breakfast times during my youth it begins with Mum
combing my hair, a ritual for which I have to sit down on the second-hand, floral-patterned settee,
and lean forward, like I'm presenting myself for execution."
For Sathnam Sanghera, growing up in Wolverhampton in the eighties was a confusing business. On
the one hand, these were the heady days of George Michael mix-tapes, Dallas on TV and, if he was
195 | P a g e
ART
lucky, the occasional Bounty Bar. On the other, there was his wardrobe of tartan smocks, his 30p-an-
hour job at the local sewing factory and the ongoing challenge of how to tie the perfect top-knot.
And then there was his family, whose strange and often difficult behaviour he took for granted until,
at the age of twenty-four, Sathnam made a discovery that changed everything he ever thought he
knew about them. Equipped with breathtaking courage and a glorious sense of humour, he embarks
on a journey into their extraordinary past - from his father's harsh life in rural Punjab to the steps of
the Wolverhampton Tourist Office - trying to make sense of a life lived among secrets.
Praise for The Boy with the Topknot:

'Could not be more enjoyable, engaging or moving' Observer
'Tragic, funny and disturbing. It will challenge you, and may even change you' Carole Angier,

Marriage Material Kindle Edition
by Sathnam Sanghera (Author)
SHORTLISTED FOR THE COSTA FIRST NOVEL AWARD AND LONGLISTED FOR THE DESMOND ELLIOTT
PRIZE
To Arjan Banga, returning to the Black Country after the unexpected death of his father, his family’s
corner shop represents everything he has tried to leave behind – a lethargic pace of life, insular
rituals and ways of thinking. But when his mother insists on keeping the shop open, he finds himself
being dragged back, forced into big decisions about his imminent marriage back in London and
uncovering the history of his broken family – the elopement and mixed-race marriage of his aunt
Surinder, the betrayals and loyalties, loves and regrets that have played out in the shop over more
than fifty years.
Taking inspiration from Arnold Bennett’s classic novel The Old Wives’ Tale, Marriage Material tells
the story of three generations of a family through the prism of a Wolverhampton corner shop – itself
a microcosm of the South Asian experience in the country: a symbol of independence and
integration, but also of darker realities.
196 | P a g e
ART
This is an epic tale of family, love, and politics, spanning the second half of the twentieth century,
and the start of the twenty-first. Told with humour, tenderness and insight, it manages to be both a

an ingenious reimagining of a classic work of fiction.

NoNonsense Legalizing Drugs
The key to ending the war
Author: Steve Rolles
We urgently need to legalize and regulate drugs – this book explains why, and how to do it.
Prelims and Content
Introduction and Chapter One
Buy print version: £7.99 $11.95
Buy eBook: £7.99
The ‘war on drugs’ is a complete failure that is destroying lives all over the world. It is time to take
control.
Legalizing drugs does not mean a free-for-all. It involves ensuring that substances are safe and taking
distribution out of the hands of the criminal networks who currently benefit from an illegal market
with a turnover of $320 billion a year.
This book is not just a litany of the damage done over the past four decades of drug war - it assesses
the careful, progressive attempts at reform by some governments and, more important still, it looks
forward to examine exactly how legalized drugs will be produced, distributed and regulated in
future. The change is going to come - but this book will put you well ahead of the curve.

Feed The Beast: Jon Parkin Kindle Edition
by Jon Parkin (Author), David Clayton (Author)
Spoilt. Overpaid. Ungrateful. Removed from reality.
These words are often used to describe modern day footballers. None of them apply to Jon Parkin.
The South Yorkshire boy has seen and done it all in a footballing life that peaked with promotion to
the Premier League and plummeted to the National League North, taking in spells with no fewer
than 14 different clubs.
His story is one of a natural goalscorer whose talent is always in demand. His unconventional frame
and liking for a lager or ten meant pre-season was always a struggle. His straight-talking style and
knack of finding himself in trouble resulted in countless bust-ups with managers. But when patience,
cash or contracts ran out, there was always another club ready to take a chance on him.
Along the way there have been battles with booze, betting and depression. Marital breakdown and
brushes with the law didn’t help, while thousands of motorway miles were covered in a bid to stay in
touch with his Barnsley roots and his beloved son.
There’s also been plenty of mischief. One holidaymaker in Magaluf won’t easily forget what she
found in Parkin’s bath while there’s a golf towel in a hospital car park that nobody would want to
find.
FEED THE BEAST will feed your curiosity about the real life of a footballer.

the step up declaration
The science is clear:
Climate change poses an increasingly urgent and serious threat to modern society and the global
economy. At the same time, addressing the climate challenge is an enormous business opportunity,
with trillions of dollars in economic growth expected from investments in climate solutions. It also
provides a once-in-a-generation opportunity to clean our air and water, improve our health, and
ensure access to sustainable energy for all.
For the best chance of staving off the most unbearable impacts of climate change, science tells us
we must bend the curve of global greenhouse gas emissions by 2020, and rapidly reduce thereafter
to strive towards a fossil-fuel free society by 2050.
Within the next three decades, the Fourth Industrial Revolution — driven by digitalization such as
mobile internet, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things — will transform
everyone’s lives and every business on the planet. This provides a unique opportunity to accelerate
the global transformation to a decarbonized future.

Duchess of Sussex launches cookbook for Grenfell
The Duchess of Sussex has launched her first solo project as a royal - a cookbook in support of
Grenfell families and others.
Meghan has written the foreword to a recipe book produced by cooks at the Hubb Community
Kitchen, based near the tower in west London.
The duchess has been working with volunteers there since January.
She said she felt "connected" to the project as "a place for women to laugh, grieve, cry and cook
together."
The book, called 'Together: Our Community Cookbook', includes 50 recipes by women whose
community was affected by the tower block fire in June 2017, which killed 72 people.

Danez Smith: US poet is youngest ever Forward Prize winner
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-45564424
US poet Danez Smith has won the Forward Prize for best poetry collection for their work Don't Call
Us Dead.
The 29-year-old from Minnesota is the youngest ever winner of the prestigious £10,000 award.
Smith's winning collection confronts race and sexuality and includes the poem Dear White America,
which has had more than 300,000 views on YouTube.
Don't Call Us Dead Kindle Edition
by Danez Smith (Author)
*WINNER OF THE FORWARD PRIZE FOR BEST COLLECTION 2018*
*A Finalist for the National Book Award for Poetry 2017*
‘[Smith’s] poems are enriched to the point of volatility, but they pay out, often, in sudden joy’ The
New Yorker
Award-winning poet Danez Smith is a ground-breaking force, celebrated for deft lyrics, urgent
subjects, and performative power. Don’t Call Us Dead opens with a heartrending sequence that
imagines an afterlife for black men shot by police, a place where suspicion, violence, and grief are
forgotten and replaced with the safety, love and longevity they deserved here on earth. Smith turns
then to desire, mortality – the dangers experienced in skin and body and blood – and an HIV-positive
diagnosis.
‘Some of us are killed / in pieces,’ Smith writes, ‘some of us all at once.’ Don’t Call Us Dead is an
astonishing and ambitious collection, one that confronts, praises, and rebukes an America where
every day is too often a funeral and not often enough a miracle.

And You Thought Trump Voters Were Mad American women are furious — and our politics and
culture will never be the same.
It’s not like women weren’t already aflame with fury.
September had brought handmaids to Washington, some standing silent sentinel in Senate office
buildings. Women had dressed demurely to get into Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation
hearings, then leapt up and yelled: about life and death, health care, and abortion. Those women
were pulled roughly from the room, then replaced by others. Every day, more women willing to yell.
Women sent 3,000 coat hangers to Senator Susan Collins; anti-Kavanaugh messages have been
projected onto the City Hall building in Portland, Maine. One day, during the Kavanaugh hearings, a
few dozen women — plus some men! — flooded into the office of Chuck Grassley, the chair of the
Senate Judiciary Committee, and started chanting and clapping: “Chuck Grassley! Come out! We’ve
got some things to talk about!”

Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women's Anger Kindle Edition
by Rebecca Traister (Author)
From Rebecca Traister, the New York Times bestselling author of All the Single Ladies—whom Anne
Lamott called “the most brilliant voice on feminism in this country”—comes a vital, incisive
exploration into the transformative power of female anger and its ability to transcend into a political
movement.
In the year 2018, it seems as if women’s anger has suddenly erupted into the public conversation.
But long before Pantsuit Nation, before the Women’s March, and before the #MeToo movement,
women’s anger was not only politically catalytic—but politically problematic. The story of female
fury and its cultural significance demonstrates the long history of bitter resentment that has
enshrouded women’s slow rise to political power in America, as well as the ways that anger is
received when it comes from women as opposed to when it comes from men.
With eloquence and fervor, Rebecca tracks the history of female anger as political fuel—from
suffragettes marching on the White House to office workers vacating their buildings after Clarence
Thomas was confirmed to the Supreme Court. Here Traister explores women’s anger at both men
and other women; anger between ideological allies and foes; the varied ways anger is perceived
based on its owner; as well as the history of caricaturing and delegitimizing female anger; and the
way women’s collective fury has become transformative political fuel—as is most certainly occurring
today. She deconstructs society’s (and the media’s) condemnation of female emotion (notably, rage)
and the impact of their resulting repercussions.
Highlighting a double standard perpetuated against women by all sexes, and its disastrous,
stultifying effect, Traister’s latest is timely and crucial. It offers a glimpse into the galvanizing force of
women’s collective anger, which, when harnessed, can change history.

A Sardar Patel Primer For Clueless Indians: The Man Who Saved India – And The Idea Of India

india-and-the-idea-of-india
Why Hindol Sengupta’s The Man Who Saved India: Sardar Patel And His Idea of India is a must-read
for today’s generation.
>>>
The Man Who Saved India Kindle Edition
by Hindol Sengupta (Author)
There is perhaps no political figure in modern history who did more to secure and protect the Indian
nation than Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. But, ironically, seventy years after Patel brought together
piece by piece the map of India by fusing the princely states with British India to create a new
democratic, independent nation, little is understood or appreciated about Patel's enormous
contribution to the making of India. Caricatured in political debate, all the nuances of Patel's difficult
life and the daring choices he made are often lost, or worse, used as mere polemic. If Mahatma
Gandhi was the spiritual core of India's freedom struggle and Jawaharlal Nehru its romantic idealism,
it was Sardar Patel who brought in the vital pragmatism which held together the national movement
and the first ideas of independent India. A naturally stoic man, Patel, unlike Gandhi or Nehru, wrote
no personal history. He famously argued that its was better to create history than write it. This is
why even his deepest misgivings and quarrels have been easily buried. But every warning that Patel
left for India - from the dangers of allowing groups to create private militias to his thoughtful
criticism on India's approach to Kashmir, Pakistan and China - are all dangerously relevant today. It is
impossible to read about Patel, who died in 1950, and not feel that had he lived on, India might have
been a different country. It is also impossible to ignore Patel and understand not only what the idea
of India is but also what it could have been, and might be in the future. The Man Who Saved India is
a sweeping, magisterial retelling of Sardar Patel's story. With fiercely detailed and pugnacious
anecdotes, multiple award-winning, best-selling writer Hindol Sengupta brings alive Patel's
determined life of struggle and his furious commitment to keep India safe. This book brings alive all
the arguments, quarrels and clashes between some of the most determined people in Indian history
and their battle to carve out an independent nation. Through ravages of a failing body broken by
decades of abuse in and outside prison, Patel stands out in this book as the man who, even on his
death bed, worked to save India. Hindol Sengupta's The Man Who Saved India is destined to define
Patel's legacy for future generations.

Judas: How a Sister's Testimony Brought Down a Criminal Mastermind Kindle Edition
206 | P a g e
ART
by Astrid Holleeder (Author)
Willem Holleeder is one of the most notorious criminals in contemporary history. Best known for his
involvement in the 1983 kidnapping of Alfred Heineken, CEO and Chairman of Heineken, and his
infamous 2006 trial in which he was convicted of extortion, money laundering and membership of a
criminal organization, Willem Holleeder captured the attention of the world. What few knew was
how Willem had terrorized, extorted and threatened his family for thirty years, just as his alcoholic
father - an employee at Heineken - had dominated and mistreated the family for years. Children,
sisters, women, in-laws and mother: no one escaped the despotic behaviour of father and son.
But Willem's latest conviction is quickly becoming the trial of the century. Charged for his
involvement in multiple assassinations, including that of his former partner and brother-in-law,
Willem is finally being put on trial for murder, all due to the shocking and incriminating testimony of
his own family. Having spent years as his unwilling consigliere, Willem's own sister Astrid is finally
breaking her silence and going on the record.
In this stunning memoir, Astrid finally reveals decades of familial manipulation and fear and her own
thrilling experience working as a double cross, preserving enough trust to attain the information that
would convict her brother for life.

Letters from Elvis: Shocking Revelations to His Secret Confidante Kindle Edition
by Gary Lindberg (Author)
"Letters from Elvis" may be the most important and revealing book ever written about ‘The King.’ It
is based on material contained in hundreds of handwritten and authenticated letters that Elvis and
his friends—Marlon Brando, Harry Belafonte and Tom Jones—secretly wrote to their spiritual guide,
Carmen Montez. Never has such an intimately revealing collection of letters surfaced about such a
well-known celebrity.
"Letters from Elvis" is an explosive revelation of Elvis’s inner life, an exposé of heinous Hollywood
crimes that targeted Elvis, a touching tale of friendship, an eerie ghost story, and a series of startling
new Elvis mysteries. Because rigorous copyright laws prevent direct publication of the actual letters,
the book also tells the story of the author’s thirty-year struggle to bring this new information about
Elvis to light.

Avraham examines media coverage of Palestinian terror attacks in Israel through the lens of the

The Cheat Code: The Secret Tweaks, Hacks and Tips to Get Noticed and Get Ahead Kindle Edition
by Brian Wong (Author)
Have you ever noticed that there are certain people who seem to move up just a bit faster than
everyone else? Those rare people who are always a bit ahead of the curve, get noticed a bit more,
and achieve their goals a bit more quickly than the rest of us? And have you ever noticed how much
this small edge makes a massive difference to the trajectory of their careers?
24-year-old entrepreneur Brian Wong is one of these people, having graduated from college by age
18, having raised $24 million in venture capital to start his own company before he turned 25, and
having grown that company into a global mobile advertising giant in just 4 years. His secret? The
Cheat Code.
Wong believes that most people -- even creative people -- have a tendency to follow a script; to do
things the way others do them simply because that way works. But therein lies the secret at the
heart of the Cheat Code:
Anyone can easily shortcut his or her way to success, simply by going slightly off script; by doing
things just a little differently from everyone else.
Here, Wong unlocks the power of the Cheat Code through 71 bite-sized and virtually effortless short-
cuts you can use to get a leg up on the competition, get noticed, and accelerate your success. For
example:
Cheat #7: Don't Ask – Announce

Kissinger: 1923-1968: The Idealist Kindle Edition
by Niall Ferguson (Author)
SPECTATOR, NEW STATESMAN, TELEGRAPH, SUNDAY TIMES and FINANCIAL TIMES BOOKS OF THE
YEAR 2015
No American statesman has been as revered and as reviled as Henry Kissinger. Hailed by some as the
"indispensable man", whose advice has been sought by every president from John F. Kennedy to
George W. Bush, Kissinger has also attracted immense hostility from critics who have cast him as an
amoral Machiavellian - the ultimate cold-blooded "realist".
In this remarkable new book, the first of two volumes, Niall Ferguson has created an extraordinary
panorama of Kissinger's world, and a paradigm-shifting reappraisal of the man. Only through
knowledge of Kissinger's early life (as a Jew in Hitler's Germany, a poor immigrant in New York, a GI
at the Battle of the Bulge, an interrogator of Nazis, and a student of history at Harvard) can we
understand his debt to the philosophy of idealism.
And only by tracing his rise, fall and revival as an adviser to Kennedy, Nelson Rockefeller and, finally,
Richard Nixon can we appreciate the magnitude of his contribution to the theory of diplomacy,
grand strategy and nuclear deterrence.
Drawing not only on Kissinger's hitherto closed private papers but also on documents from more
than a hundred archives around the world, this biography is Niall Ferguson's masterpiece. Like his
classic two-volume history of the House of Rothschild, Kissinger sheds dazzling new light on an entire
era.

LikeWar: The Weaponization of Social Media Hardcover – 2 Oct 2018
by P W Singer (Author), Emerson T Brooking (Author)
Two defense experts explore the collision of war, politics, and social media, where the most
important battles are now only a click away.
Through the weaponization of social media, the internet is changing war and politics, just as war and
politics are changing the internet. Terrorists livestream their attacks, "Twitter wars" produce real-
world casualties, and viral misinformation alters not just the result of battles, but the very fate of
nations. The result is that war, tech, and politics have blurred into a new kind of battlespace that
plays out on our smartphones.
P. W. Singer and Emerson Brooking tackle the mind-bending questions that arise when war goes
online and the online world goes to war. They explore how ISIS copies the Instagram tactics of Taylor
Swift, a former World of Warcraft addict foils war crimes thousands of miles away, internet trolls
shape elections, and China uses a smartphone app to police the thoughts of 1.4 billion citizens. What
can be kept secret in a world of networks? Does social media expose the truth or bury it? And what
role do ordinary people now play in international conflicts?
Delving into the web's darkest corners, we meet the unexpected warriors of social media, such as
the rapper turned jihadist PR czar and the Russian hipsters who wage unceasing infowars against the
West. Finally, looking to the crucial years ahead, LikeWar outlines a radical new paradigm for
understanding and defending against the unprecedented threats of our networked world.

The Japanese Man Who Saved 6,000 Jews With His Handwriting
What the astonishing Chiune Sugihara teaches us about moral heroism.

A Special Fate: Chiune Sugihara: Hero of the Holocaust Kindle Edition
by Alison Leslie Gold (Author)
When Chiune Sugihara was growing up in Japan, he had never even met a Jewish person. There was
no way Chiune could know that he would one day save the lives of thousands of Jews - and become
a great hero to the Jewish people. Chiune Sugihara was a diplomat who left Japan to work in
Lithuania, a small country in Eastern Europe. Part of his job there was to give people permission to
leave the country. At the time, Lithuanian Jews were suffering under Nazi rule, and many hoped to
escape before they could be taken to concentration camps. Chiune knew he had to help. Going
against the wishes of his boss, Chiune allowed nearly 6,000 Jews to leave Lithuania and escape the
Nazis.

Israeli National Security: A New Strategy for an Era of Change Kindle Edition
by Charles D. Freilich (Author)
National security has been at the forefront of the Israeli experience for seven decades, with threats
ranging from terrorism, to vast rocket and missile arsenals, and even existential nuclear dangers.
Yet, despite its overwhelming preoccupation with foreign and defense affairs, Israel does not have a
formal national security strategy.
In Israeli National Security, Chuck Freilich presents an authoritative analysis of the military,
diplomatic, demographic, and societal challenges Israel faces today, to propose a comprehensive
and long-term Israeli national security strategy. The heart of the new strategy places greater
emphasis on restraint, defense, and diplomacy as means of addressing the challenges Israel faces,
along with the military capacity to deter and, if necessary, defeat Israel's adversaries, while also
maintaining the resolve of its society. By bringing Israel's most critical debates about the
Palestinians, demography, Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, US relations and nuclear strategy into sharp
focus, the strategy Freilich proposes addresses the primary challenges Israel must address in order
to chart its national course.
The most comprehensive study of Israel's national security to date, this book presents the first public
proposal for a comprehensive Israeli national security strategy and prescribes an actionable course
forward.

Ricochet: David Bowie 1983: An Intimate Portrait Hardcover – 1 Nov 2018
by Denis O'Regan (Author)
A breathtaking, never-before-seen glimpse into life on tour with David Bowie, by the late singer's
official tour photographer
In 1983 David Bowie set out on the Serious Moonlight Tour, his biggest ever. On the road with him
was his official photographer, Denis O'Regan. Few artists and photographers have had such a close
touring relationship. This book is the result: a never-before-seen photographic portrait of a year with
Bowie, from the theatre of performance to his most unguarded moments. Introduced by O'Regan
and with every single image personally approved by Bowie, this is an intimate view of an icon at the
height of his fame.

The Nonviolent Revolution: A Comprehensive Guide to Ahimsa - The Philosophy and Practice of
Dynamic Harmlessness Kindle Edition
by Nathaniel Altman (Author)
This is the first book to bring the major concepts of Ahimsa – dynamic harmlessness- into focus for
the Western reader.
Nathaniel Altman provides a thorough grounding in a philosophy that has been practiced by such
notables as Thomas Merton, M.K. Gandhi, Dorothy Day, Peace Pilgrim and Martin Luther King, Jr., to
name but a few.
But he goes further than this and shows how Ahimsa can be practically applied by each of us in our
daily lives, in our personal relationships, our business affairs, politics, religion and our attitude
towards the environment.
217 | P a g e

Despite the challenge of living in a world that seems bent on violence and destruction, the author
believes that Ahimsa offers genuine hope for both the present and the future.

Portrait of the Artist as a False Accuser
In 1976 and 1977, New York City was terrorized by one of America’s most infamous serial killers.
Before being captured in front of his Yonkers home, David Berkowitz killed six victims, and wounded
seven others. Berkowitz claimed he was following the orders of his neighbour’s dog, whom he
described as being connected to a demonic figure named Sam. “I am a monster,” Berkowitz wrote in
one of the notes he left for police. “I am the ‘Son of Sam.’”

A review of The Souls of Yellow Folk by Wesley Yang. W. W. Norton & Company (November 2018),
256 pages.
Wesley Yang’s longform essay “The Face of Seung-Hui Cho” was first published in the small magazine
n+1 in the early months of 2008. At the time Yang, who was in his early 30s, seemed to be a typical
young New York writer. He had published an assortment of short pieces, mostly about books, for
places like New York, Salon, and the New York Observer. He wasn’t a “name” yet, but he was well-
known enough that one of the editors of n+1 thought of him when they were looking for someone
to write about Cho, the Korean-American student who’d killed 32 people and wounded 17 during his
shooting rampage on the campus of Virginia Tech.

Unlearn: Let Go of Past Success to Achieve Extraordinary Results 1st Edition, Kindle Edition
by Barry O'Reilly (Author)
A transformative system that shows leaders how to rethink their strategies, retool their capabilities,
and revitalize their businesses for stronger, longer-lasting success.
There’s a learning curve to running any successful business. But when leaders begin to rely on past
achievements or get stuck in old thinking and practices that no longer work, they need to take a step
back—and unlearn. This innovative and actionable framework from executive coach Barry O’Reilly
shows leaders how to break the cycle and move away from once-useful mindsets and behaviors that
were effective in the past but are no longer relevant in the current business climate and may now
stand in the way of success.
With this simple but powerful three-step system, leaders can: 1. Unlearn the behaviors and mindsets
that keep them and their businesses from moving forward. 2. Relearn the skills, strategies, and
innovations that are transforming the world every day. 3. Break through old habits and thinking by
opening up to new ideas, perspectives, and resources. Good leaders know they need to continuously
learn. But great leaders know when to unlearn the past to succeed in the future. This book shows
them the way.

Moneyland: Why Thieves And Crooks Now Rule The World And How To Take It Back Kindle Edition
The SUNDAY TIMES BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR, the ECONOMIST POLITICS & CURRENT AFFAIRS
BOOK OF THE YEAR and a DAILY MAIL and TIMES book of the year
'You cannot understand power, wealth and poverty without knowing about Moneyland.'
Simon Kuper, New Statesman
From ruined towns on the edge of Siberia, to Bond-villain lairs in Knightsbridge and Manhattan,
something has gone wrong with the workings of the world.
Once upon a time, if an official stole money, there wasn't much he could do with it. He could buy
himself a new car or build himself a nice house or give it to his friends and family, but that was about
it. If he kept stealing, the money would just pile up in his house until he had no rooms left to put it
in, or it was eaten by mice.
And then some bankers in London had a bright idea.

Join the investigative journalist Oliver Bullough on a journey into Moneyland - the secret country of
the lawless, stateless superrich.
Learn how the institutions of Europe and the United States have become money-laundering
operations, undermining the foundations of Western stability. Discover the true cost of being open
for business no matter how corrupt and dangerous the customer. Meet the kleptocrats. Meet their
awful children. And find out how heroic activists around the world are fighting back.

Deep Web for Journalists – Comms, Counter-Surveillance, Search: The Digital Journalists' Handbook
Kindle Edition
223 | P a g e
ART
by Alan Pearce (Author)
Journalism has been transformed by the Internet and the Internet has opened journalists to levels of
surveillance that would have horrified George Orwell. All journalists should be aware of the dangers
they face in the digital world – the emerging battleground.
Being a journalist in 2017 is more dangerous than it ever was. In addition to the usual threats,
beatings, murders and war casualties, we are now being actively targeted online by intelligence
agencies, law enforcement and others.
These days it is not just journalists working in repressive regimes that need worry. We now know
that the US and its cyber-allies – Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand – actively monitor
domestic journalists in their mass surveillance of the Internet.
Edward Snowden has warned journalists that they are special targets and he has expressed surprise
that news organizations rarely have any counter-measures in place.
They harvest our contacts and monitor our telephone logs. They read our emails and texts. They
follow our every move online and they keep tabs on every line we write.
But it is not just intelligence agencies and law enforcement that we should worry about. All kinds of
people have a vested interest in knowing about your next story – individual criminals and criminal
organizations, political parties and extremist groups, law firms and the corporate giants.
Large business interests have their own intelligence units. They know what is being said about them
and by whom. They keep track of their competitors and they know when somebody starts asking
awkward questions about them.
If big business or anyone wanted to destroy a journalist’s reputation this is simplicity itself.
The key is not to attract attention in the first place, and to learn to operate beneath the radar.
But how can journalists safeguard their sources and communicate without being overheard? How
can they conduct sensitive research without having to watch their backs?
This book will show how to block intruders, set up secure communications, mask your identity online
and browse and download anonymously, and store any amount of data without leaving a trace.
If that wasn't enough, the Deep Web is also a largely-unknown research and information resource. If
you know the right entry points, you can mine a rich seam of multimedia files, images, software and
documents that you cannot find on the Surface Web.
Deep Web for Journalists “offers an uncompromising diagnosis of the perils of online
communications and should shatter the confidence many of us place in the unguarded ways of
working online,” says Jim Boumelha, President of International Federation of Journalists in his
Foreword to the book.
Journalist, broadcaster and author Alan Pearce has covered conflicts from the Khmer Rouge to the
Taliban for the BBC and Time Magazine, among others. He now teaches cyber-security skills and
counter-surveillance to journalists.
“The work of journalism has become immeasurably harder than it ever has been in the past.
Journalists have to be particularly conscious about any sort of network signalling, any sort of
connection, any sort of licence plate reading device that they pass on their way to a meeting point,
224 | P a g e
ART
any place they use their credit card, any place they take their phone, any email contact they have
with the source - because that very first contact, before encrypted communications are established,
is enough to give it all away.” – Edward Snowden 17 July 2014 in The Guardian.

Untangling The Web : An NSA Guide to Internet Research Kindle Edition
by National Security Agency (Author)
"There’s so much data available on the internet that even government cyberspies need a little help
now and then to sift through it all. So to assist them, the National Security Agency produced a book
to help its spies uncover intelligence hiding on the web.
The 643-page tome, called Untangling the Web: A Guide to Internet Research (.pdf), was just
released by the NSA following a FOIA request filed in April by MuckRock, a site that charges fees to
process public records for activists and others.
The book was published by the Center for Digital Content of the National Security Agency, and is
filled with advice for using search engines, the Internet Archive and other online tools. But the most
interesting is the chapter titled “Google Hacking.”

NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and How to Think Smarter About People Who Think Differently

Winner of the Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction
Shortlisted for the Wellcome Book Prize
Shortlisted for the MJA Health Book of the Year Award

A Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller
Foreword by Oliver Sacks
What is autism: a devastating developmental condition, a lifelong disability, or a naturally occurring

form of cognitive difference akin to certain forms of genius? In truth, it is all of these things and
more - and the future of our society depends on our understanding it.
Following on from his groundbreaking article 'The Geek Syndrome', Wired reporter Steve Silberman
unearths the secret history of autism, long suppressed by the same clinicians who became famous
for discovering it, and finds surprising answers to the crucial question of why the number of
diagnoses has soared in recent years.

Going back to the earliest autism research and chronicling the brave and lonely journey of autistic
people and their families through the decades, Silberman provides long-sought solutions to the
autism puzzle while casting light on the growing movement of 'neurodiversity' and mapping out a
path towards a more humane world for people with learning differences.

“When an Israeli thinks you are mistaken,” writes organizational consultant Osnat Lautman in her
books on Israeli business culture, “he simply says, ‘You’re wrong.’ When you ask for his opinion, he
assumes you really want it, and gives you an honest and straightforward answer.”
For anyone who has worked with Israelis – or is Israeli – the next immediate thought is likely, ‘uh oh.
Now what happened?’
Although it’s 2019 and many business collaborations are already underway (and thriving), the gap
between how business is done in Israel and how it is done internationally is wide, says Lautman.
Lautman’s book on Israeli business culture is an Amazon bestseller. It is also a popular choice in the
duty-free bookstore at Ben Gurion International Airport outside Tel Aviv, according to its author.

Break Point Hardcover – 2 May 2019
by Ollie Ollerton (Author)
Is it here? Facing the gruelling SAS selection process on one leg, with a busted ankle and the finish
line nowhere in sight?
Or here? Under heavy fire from armed kidnappers while protecting journalists en route to Baghdad.
Or, is it here? At the bottom of a bottle, with a family in pieces, unable to adapt to a civilian lifestyle,
yearning for a warzone.
We all have break points to face - at the gym, in the office, in our personal lives - those moments of
self-doubt where we have to dig deep, and find something within to grab hold of and push us
through.
Ex-Special Forces soldier Ollie Ollerton has faced his own break points and now he tells us the
lessons he has learnt along the way. From survivor of a freak childhood attack to elite fighter, Ollie's
incredible story features, high-speed shoot-outs, counter-terrorism and humanitarian heroics.
Special Forces soldiers are not supermen. Bullets don't bounce off them. They don't hit the target
with every shot. They have the same vulnerabilities and doubts as the rest of us. But ordinary people
can achieve the extraordinary, under the greatest pressure, in the most challenging situations.
Ollie's life has taught him that everyone has the capacity for incredible achievement, because it's
only when it's crunch time, when you're down to your last bullet - when you're at break point - that
you find out who you really are.

No Hard Feelings: Emotions at Work and How They Help Us Succeed Kindle Edition
by Liz Fosslien (Author), Mollie West Duffy (Author)
Have you ever worried about showing emotion at work, or panicked you've revealed too much of
your personality?
In No Hard Feelings, you'll learn how to navigate the emotional minefield that is the modern
workplace, and express your feelings and identity at work. After all, the financial success of the 21st
century depends on it. Without the ability to communicate and correct stress, we risk burnout.
Without emotions, we cannot make decisions, influence others, or be creative.
As our jobs become more collaborative, complex, and stressful - as well as the centre of our
identities - effectively embracing emotion will only become more important. Combining behavioural
economics and psychology with sharp, funny and colourful illustrations, No Hard Feelings shows
readers how to be more authentic, productive, and happy at work.
Liz Fosslien is a marketing and design consultant who illustrates the webcomic Out of the Office, and
her work has been featured by the Economist, the Freakonomics blog, and NPR. Mollie West Duffy is
an organizational designer at IDEO and a professor at Stanford University where she teaches design.
She writes a blog and advises companies on start-up culture.

The Power of Onlyness: Make Your Wild Ideas Mighty Enough to Dent the World Kindle Edition
by Nilofer Merchant (Author)
An 800-CEO-READ Staff Pick
Shortlisted for the Thinkers50 Breakthrough Idea Award
A Financial Times Business Book of the Month
“For any would-be activists who hear the voice: ‘not me’ or ‘not now,’ Merchant makes the strong
case for ‘yes you’ and ‘yes now’—and even shows you how to jump in.” —Van Jones, host of CNN’s
The Messy Truth, author of Rebuild the Dream and The Green Collar Economy
“The Power of Onlyness is a book for our times. . . . Merchant forces us to dig deep, into the book
and ourselves, and it goes beyond self-knowledge and self-empowerment, obliterating the fear of
otherness with an understanding of the onlyness of us all.” —Sally Haldorson, 800-CEO-READ

An innovation expert illuminates why your power to make a difference is no longer bound by your
status
If you’re like most people, you wish you had the ability to make a difference, but you don’t have the
credentials, or a seat at the table, can’t get past the gatekeepers, and aren’t high enough in any
hierarchy to get your ideas heard.
In The Power of Onlyness, Nilofer Merchant, one of the world’s top-ranked business thinkers, reveals
that, in fact, we have now reached an unprecedented moment of opportunity for your ideas to
“make a dent” on the world. Now that the Internet has liberated ideas to spread through networks
instead of hierarchies, power is no longer determined by your status, but by “onlyness”—that spot in
the world only you stand in, a function of your distinct history and experiences, visions and hopes. If
you build upon your signature ingredient of purpose and connect with those who are equally
passionate, you have a lever by which to move the world.
This new ability is already within your grasp, but to command it, you need to know how to
meaningfully mobilize others around your ideas. Through inspirational and instructive stories,
Merchant reveals proven strategies to unleash the centrifugal force of a new idea, no matter how
weird or wild it may seem.
Imagine how much better the world could be if every idea could have its shot, not just the ones that
come from expected people and places. Which long-intractable problems would we solve, what new
levels of creativity would be unlocked, and who might innovate a breakthrough that could benefit
ourselves, our communities, and especially our economy. This limitless potential of onlyness has
already been recognized by Thinkers 50, the Oscars of management, which cited it one of the five
ideas that will shape business for next twenty years.
Why do some individuals make scalable impact with their ideas, regardless of their power or status?
The Power of Onlyness unravels this mystery for the first time so that anyone can make a dent. Even
you.

Company culture needs a risk-management approach
Culture is increasingly at the heart of today’s biggest corporate scandals. Harassment at CBS? Fueled
by a culture of sexism. Wells Fargo’s fake accounts? Driven by a leadership team that believed in
performance-at-all costs and led others to believe in it, too. Toshiba’s accounting scandal?
240 | P a g e
ART
Determined by investigators to be the result of a “corporate culture in which management decisions
could not be challenged.”
Often described as a company’s most precious asset—the “X factor” that sets it apart–culture can
just as easily be an organization’s biggest liability. When unattended to, it takes on a life of its own,
often deviating further and further from its intended form until crisis strikes and inquiries
proliferate. In today’s world of extreme transparency, it’s only a matter of time before what’s
broken on the inside is revealed to the outside. Not only do unhealthy cultures demoralize
employees; they alienate customers, ruin reputation, and destroy value.
Despite this, few companies approach culture with the same vigilance they apply to identifying and
mitigating financial, operational, or market risk. Consequently, they fail to account for the biggest
risk of all—that introduced daily by the individual actions and decisions of thousands of employees
who may or may not have bought into the company’s value system. We argue that a holistic
approach to managing risk requires diligent cultural stewardship and the same degree of urgency,
attentiveness, and investment that is applied to issues of cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, or any
other business threat.

StoryBranding 2.0: Creating Stand-Out Brands Through The Power of Story [Print Replica] Kindle
Edition
by Jim Signorelli (Author)
From Library Journal:
Advertising executive Signorelli was tired of the traditional approach to his craft, which he feels
resulted in soulless hyperbole and mindless drivel.
When preparing for a client meeting, he had an epiphany. Rather than doing a traditional brief for
the client, identifying its brand's unique selling proposition, he wrote a story: a first-person narrative
told from the prospective customer's point of view. Customers have problems they want to be
solved, and their stories provide clues to understanding how the brand can solve them. Signorelli
compares the "StoryBranding" process, which helps brands understand themselves, to the way
stories teach us about the people in them.
VERDICT Since advertising is, among other things, about building and nurturing relationships
between the brand and the customer, the timeless tradition of storytelling is a natural approach to
facilitate the process.
Signorelli skillfully coaches his readers through understanding a brand's core values and aligning
them to customers' needs. While branding and advertising books are a dime a dozen, the author's
original approach and competent storytelling skills serve his topic well. -Carol Elsen, (c) Copyright
2012. Library Journals LLC,
“All marketers should read Jim's book, especially those who haven't embraced storytelling. It not
only drives home the efficacy of storytelling but also offers a roadmap for leveraging this tool to
uniquely communicate the human essence of a brand. Thought provoking and useful book."
--Dennis Dunlap, Former CEO, American Marketing Association
Many books talk about the power of storytelling as a persuasion device, but this is not one of them.
Jim believes it’s more important to become a story than to tell one. And he shows how it can be
done for all brands, big or small, for any product or service.
StoryBranding 2.0StoryBranding is applicable to personal branding as well. “If you have a birth
certificate, you are a brand,” he says. An easy, entertaining, and educational read, this revolutionary
book on branding has been called “a must read” by critics and marketers across the globe. (Gold

Government Accountability Project was established by the Institute for Policy Studies in 1977 to
bring attention to whistleblower issues in the wake of major cover-ups such as Watergate and the
Pentagon Papers. As a result of these major scandals, the perception of whistleblowers had reached
a tipping point. Ralph Nader had only recently coined the term “whistleblower” as a way to change
the negative image surrounding those who disclosed information in order to protect the public.
Government Accountability Project’s initial mandate was to change the public’s perception of
whistleblowers from leakers to truth-tellers. With a small staff and few resources, Government
Accountability Project focused on public relations and legislative work. In 1978, however, recent law
school graduate and current Executive Director, Louis Clark, joined Government Accountability
243 | P a g e
ART
Project as staff counsel. With newfound legal resources, the organization began to represent
whistleblowers.
Shortly afterward, Tom Devine, who was about to begin his second year of law school, joined the
team, bringing a strong desire to expand the scope of the organization and recruit other law
students. In January 1984, Government Accountability Project cut its ties with the Institute for Policy
Studies and became fully independent. As Government Accountability Project staff expanded, so too
did the breadth of its work. In one of its first major legal campaigns, the organization took on several
cases of nuclear power plant workers revealing massive safety violations at multiple plants.
As more attorneys joined the team, Government Accountability Project increased its litigation work,
setting up its unique capacity to launch both political advocacy and legal campaigns. A larger staff
allowed us to specialize in key areas for whistleblowers, such as environmental regulation, food
integrity, and financial oversight.
Throughout its history, Government Accountability Project has distinguished itself through its
representation of numerous high profile clients. We worked with Edward Snowden, who disclosed
systematic cases of abuses of power, Dr. Aicha Elbasri, who exposed the United Nations’ failure to
protect civilians in Darfur, and Phyllis McKelvey, who blew the whistle on dangerous food inspection
practices at the United States Department of Agriculture. Throughout our history, Government
Accountability Project has stood by the whistleblowers who put their lives and livelihoods on the line
in order to serve the greater good. From the pharmaceutical industry to Wall Street, to local and
international governments, Government Accountability Project has tirelessly defended and
advocated on behalf of those who speak up in the face of injustice.

Four in five Vatican priests are gay, book claims
French journalist’s book is a ‘startling account of corruption and hypocrisy’, publisher says
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/feb/12/four-in-five-vatican-priests-are-gay-book-claims
Eighty per cent of priests working at the Vatican are gay, although not necessarily sexually active, it
is claimed in the book, In the Closet of the Vatican.
The 570-page book, which the French journalist and author Frédéric Martel spent four years
researching, is a “startling account of corruption and hypocrisy at the heart of the Vatican”,
according to its British publisher Bloomsbury.

Why Hannah Arendt is the philosopher for now
Arendt’s political philosophy, formed under Nazi persecution, is having a resurgence in our troubled
age.
When Hannah Arendt was herded into Gurs, a detention camp in south-west France in May 1940,
she did one of the most sensible things you can do when you are trapped in a real-life nightmare:
she read – Proust’s Remembrance of Things Past, Clausewitz’s On War and, compulsively, the
detective stories of Georges Simenon. Today people are reading Arendt to understand our own
grimly bewildering predicament.
Shortly after Trump’s inauguration, Arendt’s 1951 masterpiece The Origins of Totalitarianism
entered the US bestseller lists. Tweet-size nuggets of her warnings about post-truth political life
have swirled through social media ever since. Arendt, the one time “illegal emigrant” (her words),
historian of totalitarianism, analyst of the banality of administrative evil and advocate for new
political beginnings, is currently the go-to political thinker for the second age of fascist brutality.

The Rule of the Clan: What an Ancient Form of Social Organization Reveals About the Future of
Individual Freedom Kindle Edition
by Mark S. Weiner (Author)
A lively, wide-ranging meditation on human development that offers surprising lessons for the
future of modern individualism, The Rule of the Clan examines the constitutional principles and
cultural institutions of kin-based societies, from medieval Iceland to modern Pakistan.
Mark S. Weiner, an expert in constitutional law and legal history, shows us that true individual
freedom depends on the existence of a robust state dedicated to the public interest. In the absence
of a healthy state, he explains, humans naturally tend to create legal structures centered not on
individuals but rather on extended family groups. The modern liberal state makes individualism
possible by keeping this powerful drive in check—and we ignore the continuing threat to liberal
values and institutions at our peril. At the same time, for modern individualism to survive, liberals
must also acknowledge the profound social and psychological benefits the rule of the clan provides
and recognize the loss humanity sustains in its transition to modernity.
248 | P a g e
ART
Masterfully argued and filled with rich historical detail, Weiner's investigation speaks both to
modern liberal societies and to developing nations riven by "clannism," including Muslim societies in
the wake of the Arab Spring.

Lynette Silver’s main interest lies in investigating various aspects of Australian history. Her work in
this field was recognised in 1989 when, following the publication of her books A Fool’s Gold? and
The Battle of Vinegar Hill, she was made a Fellow of the Australian Institute of History and the Arts.
More publications followed: a centennial history on St Peter’s Church, Hornsby; a number of

children’s non-fiction books on ballet, craft and games; craft books for adults and and ten more non-
fiction historical works. The latter includes the official bicentennial work Unsung Heroes and
Heroines of Australia, to which a number of writers contributed; two World War II books, Heroes of
Rimau and Krait: The Fishing Boat that went to War, and Fabulous Furphies – Ten Great Myths from
Australia’s Past.
In 1995, following lengthy research into the fall of Singapore, she was appointed official Historian to
the Australian 8th Division Association, a post she held for seven years. Her highly successful book,
Sandakan – A Conspiracy of Silence, released in 1998, concerns the loss of almost 2,500 Allied POWs
in British North Borneo. It is now into its fourth edition in Australia, with a Malaysian edition
launched in 2007. The research undertaken for this book, recognised world-wide as the definitive
history, led to her appointment as adviser and consultant to novelist Bryce Courtenay in his
blockbuster, Four Fires, which reached Number 1 on the bestseller list.

lived and worked at the centre of political life--yet his poems are anything but conventional. Edgy,

On the Black Hill is an elegantly written tale of identical twin brothers who grow up on a farm in rural
Wales and never leave home. They till the rough soil and sleep in the same bed, touched only
occasionally by the advances of the twentieth century.
In depicting the lives of Benjamin and Lewis and their interactions with their small local community
Chatwin comments movingly on the larger questions of human experience.

A collected edition of Bruce Chatwin’s acclaimed, captivating novels – On the Black Hill, Utz and The

While Bruce Chatwin is best known as a master of travel literature, his three acclaimed novels must
not be overlooked. Here we see a writer exploring human life, from its freedoms to its limits, in ever
more exhilarating and unexpected ways.
In On the Black Hill, twin brothers begin to realise that the world beyond their familiar fields is
changing. In Utz, a scholar visits a communist state to meet an eccentric porcelain collector. And in
The Viceroy of Ouidah, an ambitious slave trader makes a choice that could threaten his ultimate
dream.

Is After the Affair for you?
After the Affair is an online affair recovery program. Our focus is on you, the hurt partner. There are
many programs out there that are geared at mending your relationship, but we believe that there is
a need out there that is not being met. You. You have been through a serious trauma and it must be
addressed. After we discover an affair, we are riddled with flashbacks, anxiety, fear, poor self-
esteem… You name it, life gets really hard, really fast. So, we got to work (for the last three years)
making this program so that you could come out the other side, a stronger, wiser, healthier version
of yourself. We want you to look back on this terrible time and be extremely proud of yourself and
who you’ve become.
AFFAIR RECOVERY & HOW IT WORKS
After the Affair was made by the cheated for the cheated. Meaning that we wanted to create a
down and dirty, let's get to the point, way to help people heal from their partner's unfaithfulness.
We wanna know what to do about our racing and obsessive thoughts now, not after 7 months of
therapy sessions that cost a fortune.
In 8 weekly videos we will cover topics like: trauma recovery, creating a support system, grief, PTSD,
boundaries, reactions, reality, flashbacks, depression, anxiety and fear. For each subscription, we

Have you ever seen someone who despite not being very attractive physically seemed to attract
others of the opposite sex?
Have you ever noticed someone in your workplace who doesn't really know much about your
position, but always gets increments?
Have you ever noticed that some people seem to be able to captivate anyone with whom they
engage in conversation and can easily make friends?
What do these people have? One word, confidence.
If you have confidence in yourself, nothing more is needed. Confidence is something that is
perceived by others. People will react to you in one way if you have confidence and in a different
way if you do not.
In this book, you'll learn how much confidence you actually possess, why you can have confidence,
the destroyers of confidence, as well as the builders of confidence. This book will teach you
everything you need to know about the world's largest plan, the plan of confidence!
For you to achieve greater confidence, you must nevertheless be open to change. You must be
willing to modify your behavior in order to achieve greater confidence. Confidence can be learned,
but it involves leaving your comfort zone and learning to make certain changes in your behavior
patterns.
So sit back, relax and start learning how you can gain more confidence.

The End of Marketing
Humanizing Your Brand in the Age of Social Media and AI
Learn how to put 'social' back into social media and claim brand relevancy in a world where
algorithms dominate, organic reach is dwindling and consumers don't want to be sold to, they want
to be engaged.
Social networks are the new norm and traditional marketing is failing in today's digital, always-on
culture. Businesses across the world are having to face up to how they remain relevant in the
choppy waters of the digital ocean. In an era where a YouTube star gets more daily impressions than
Nike, Coca-Cola and Walmart combined, traditional marketing as we know it is dead.
The End of Marketing revolutionizes the way brands, agencies and marketers should approach
marketing. From how Donald Trump won the American presidency using social media and why Kim
Kardashian is one of the world's biggest online brands, through to the impact of bots and
automation, this book will teach you about new features and emerging platforms that will engage
customers and employees. Discover bold content ideas, hear from some of the world's largest
brands and content creators and find out how to build smarter paid-strategies, guaranteed to help
you dominate your markets.
The End of Marketing explains that no matter how easy it is to reach potential customers, the key
relationship between brand and consumer still needs the human touch. Learn how to put 'social'

Giants and Unicorns: The lost partnership between broke startups and slow corporations Kindle
Edition
by Anthony W. Richardson (Author)
We live in an age where innovation is occurring more and more outside of the walls of the corporate
castle. As a society, entrepreneurship and exponential technologies have equipped tomorrow's
disruptors with razor sharp tools, capable of entering a market faster than ever before. Meanwhile,
there is growing proof that corporate innovation is failing more and more with each passing years,
and the graveyard is littered with both time and wasted capital.
In front of us are two completely separate camps; startups and corporations, but what they both
need is identical and simple: access to each other and mutual benefit.
In his second book, best-selling author of Full-Scale, Anthony W Richardson takes you through the
journey of both sides of the table, having experienced them first hand himself.
Richardson, a 15 year veteran to consulting venture-backed startups, and now CEO of Gearbox.AI, an
artificial intelligence company aimed at pairing corporations with startups, outlines the strategies,
history and lessons learned from being on the forefront of this exciting new world.
Throughout, he builds a data-driven case for corporate innovation declining in success and
increasing in resources and takes you through countless case studies on innovation, partnerships
and a new way of carving out your place in this modern, growing field.
265 | P a g e

This book is for corporate innovation, R&D, venture capital, private equity and procurement

Women Know Cyber: 100 Fascinating Females Fighting Cybercrime Paperback – May 20, 2019
by Steve Morgan (Author), Di Freeze (Author)
Women know cybersecurity and they’re heavily involved in our industry. Don’t let anyone or any
survey tell you otherwise. Just in case you don’t believe it, we’ve written a book to help prove it. It’s
a new wave book that is based on the Twitter list @WomenKnowCyber researched and compiled by
Cybercrime Magazine and published by Cybersecurity Ventures."Women Know Cyber: 100
Fascinating Females Fighting Cybercrime" features cybersecurity experts from across the globe, with
varying backgrounds, who stand out for protecting governments, businesses, and people from
cybercrime — and for their contributions to our community.If these 100 leading ladies aren’t proof
enough for you, then we encourage you to look at the @WomenKnowCyber Twitter list. You’ll see
thousands of women in cybersecurity — from coders to digital forensics experts to chief information
security officers at the world’s largest corporations. The list grows larger every day. Are women
underrepresented in cybersecurity? Yes. Cybersecurity Ventures predicts that women will hold
approximately 20 percent of the positions in our field by the end of this year. But, that is up from an
11 percent figure which has been circulating for the past 6 years. Make no mistake about it —
women are trending up in cybersecurity. How do we move the needle from 20 percent to 50 percent
in the coming years? One answer may be that we need to look at the glass as being half-full, rather
than half-empty — as has been the case for way too long by way too many people. Let’s highlight
the sheer number of women in cybersecurity — in an effort to attract more women to an industry
that desperately needs them. Cybersecurity Ventures predicts that there will be 3.5 million unfilled
cybersecurity jobs globally by 2021, up from 1 million positions in 2014. The job openings are driven
by a huge increase in cybercrime, which is predicted to cost the world $6 trillion annually by 2021,
up from $3 trillion in 2015.There’s a cybersecurity career waiting for every girl and woman that
wants one and is willing to gain the skills needed for employment. We hope that this book will
inspire you — or someone you know — to think about becoming a woman in cybersecurity.

Index Generator will take a PDF book and produce a list of words with associated page numbers. If
the book format is in some other form it must be converted to PDF (Microsoft Word offers this as a
Save As option. OpenOffice also exports to PDF). Words can then be selected to be included in an
index for the book. Individual pages of a word occurrence can be excluded or included. Words can
be set to reference other words. Words can be a subheading of other words. Once the words have
been selected, the output can be formatted to your liking. The index can be printed or saved as a

clipboard for pasting into an application of your choosing. Index Generator can now process

A Thousand Golden Arms Paperback – September 21, 2018
by Anthony Matturro (Author), Jose E Camacho (Illustrator)
For far too long, social stigmas have prevented us from researching some of the most remarkable
substances on the planet. “A Thousand Golden Arms” is a psychedelic journey thru the mind of
Anthony Matturro; A man who has healed himself. He explains how LSD and psilocybin have been
major keys in his journey overcoming depression and Opioid addiction. This story is about Anthony’s
final LSD experience on June 27th, 2016, which was also the day of his father’s death. He is not a
doctor or scientist. When it comes to holistic medicines, he believes that sharing our honest
experiences is the best way to introduce them to the mainstream. His only hope in sharing his
experience is that you will share yours too! By sharing our stories, we can help to improve the world
of modern medicine. #AThousandGoldenArms #PsychedelicsSavedMyLife #MakeMedicineLegal

counterculture magazine Oz magazine on the streets of London’s Kings Road. The magazine printed
a mixture of left-field stories, discussions of drugs, sex and contentious political stories. He then
gained an informal apprenticeship in magazine design with Jon Goodchild, Oz's first art director, who

Hentai
Outside of Japan, hentai (変態 or へんたい; About this soundlisten (help·info) English: /ˈhɛntaɪ/; lit.
"pervert") is anime and manga pornography. In the Japanese language, however, "hentai" is not a
genre of media but any type of perverse or bizarre sexual desire or act. For example, outside of
Japan a work depicting lesbian sex might be described as "yuri hentai", but in Japan it would just be
described as "yuri".

source of the Ganges river and pokes her nose into the lives of hermits and the wise and wandering
holy people that call this sacred landscape home. It's been a tough year for Sue since her father died,
and walking where millions of pilgrims have walked before has a profound effect on her.
As winter approaches and the pilgrim season ends, Sue moves 20km downstream to the little town
of Gangotri, joining the local pageantry festivities. It's a world that feels utterly timeless, but
modernity is sweeping up this valley on a tide of tarmac, and the new influx of visitors - and their
cash - to such a remote and fragile environment is changing life in the high mountains.
One hundred and sixty miles downstream, Sue arrives in Rishikesh - a town that has long been the
gateway to the land of the gods and has drawn holy men and seekers of truth since time
immemorial. Now it's an all-you-can-eat buffet of eastern mysticism. Sue goes shopping before
heading to the Mahesh Maharishi Yogi Ashram, where The Beatles and the Maharishi turned the
west on to Indian spirituality and put Rishikesh firmly on the world map.
Fifty years after The Beatles passed through, there are dozens of Ashrams now in Rishikesh. They're
a sort of health spa for the soul, places where you can meditate, receive spiritual guidance and detox
from the modern world. More and more westerners are being drawn to these quiet places and
eastern religions. Sue books a short stay at one of Rishikesh's largest ashrams to try and understand
why.

On Sue's last leg of the first stage of her journey, she arrives at the holy city of Haridwar, where the
Ganges finally leaves the mountains and flows into the plains. Sue meets a holy man turned business
guru who now runs one of India's fastest-growing consumer goods companies - packaging Hinduism
for the masses. Together they tour his compound on an armed golf buggy, and Sue discovers what
happens to spirituality when it enters the commercial world.
To complete this first leg, Sue attends the nightly Ganga Aarti ceremony on the banks of the Ganges
in Haridwar. There are no tourists here, just normal, everyday people, who come to praise a sacred
river and the goddess that lives in her. The sense of love and devotion here is utterly overwhelming.
