All or Nothing - Michael Wolff
All or Nothing takes readers on a journey accompanying Donald Trump on his return to power as only Michael Wolff, the foremost chronicler of the Trump era, can do it. As Trump cruelly and swiftly dispatches his opponents, heaps fire and fury on the prosecutors and judges who are pursuing him, and mocks and belittles anyone in his way, including the president of the United States, this becomes not just another election but perhaps, both sides say, the last election. The stakes could not be Either the establishment destroys Donald Trump, or he destroys the establishment.What soon emerges is a split-screen On one side, a picture that could not be worse for an inescapable, perhaps mortal legal quagmire; on the other side, an entirely positive political overwhelming support within his party, ever-rising polling numbers, and lackluster opposition. Through personal access to Trump’s inner circle, Wolff details a behind-the-scenes, revealing landscape of Trumpworld and its unlikely cast of primary players as well as the candidate himself, the most successful figure in American politics since, arguably, Roosevelt, but who might easily seem to be raving mad.Threading a needle between tragedy and farce, the fate of the nation, the liberal ideal, and democracy itself, All or Nothing paints a gobsmacking portrait of a man whose behavior is so unimaginable, so uncontrolled, so unmindful of cause and effect, that it defeats all the structures and logic of civic life. And yet here in one of the most remarkable comebacks in American political history, Trump is victorious. This is not just a story about It is a vivid exposé of the demons, discord, and anarchy—the fire, fury, and future—of American life under Trump.

All or Nothing is the final chapter in Wolff s Fire and Fury series. With extraordinary behind-the-scenes access, it follows every turn of Donald Trump s third presidential campaign.In disgrace after the January 6 attack on the Capitol and sent into exile, Trump immediately sputters back to life. To the shock of the Republican Party leadership, the Trump base has not abandoned him. Hardly a year on, he is as strong as any challenger has ever been.The American establishment is stunned by his comeback and determined to stop it and hold him accountable for his abuses of law and power. Equally, he has vowed retribution on anyone who tries to stand in his way. The 2024 presidential race is elemental: the system breaks Donald Trump or Donald Trump breaks the system.Michael Wolff tells this story from inside the Trump campaign. Through the sources he has cultivated over his ten years of writing about Donald Trump, including people who are with Trump on a daily basis, as well as his own first-hand reporting, we get a nearly moment-by-moment picture of the pendulum mood swings, the casual cruelties, the demands for obeisance, the preternatural resolve or otherworldly levels of denial, and the certain flashes of showman genius of the new president.

The Stone Roses - Simon Spence
The definitive story of The Stone Roses by Simon Spence, with an updated final chapter covering the reunion rollercoaster ride. From the Manchester backwaters to the worldwide 2012 tour, War and Peace lays bare the irresistible tale of the last of the great bands..Based on 400 hours of interviews with over seventy of The Stone Roses closest associates, including six former band members, War and Peace is the first major biography of the band that defined a generation.Originally planned in collaboration with Reni, the reclusive drummer, this book had been a year in the making when the Roses, against all odds, announced their re-formation. It is a remarkable coda to an astonishing story. In 1989 their debut album and the single Fools Gold made them the most exciting British export since the Sex Pistols. With their incendiary aura the Roses became figureheads of the Madchester movement.War and Peace traces the band s genesis, studded with violent gigs and abandoned recordings, and shaped by their infamous manager Gareth Evans. The Roses legendary gigs culminated in the era-defining Spike Island show in 1990. From this pinnacle the unravelling was spectacular.But the true story behind their rise and fall - and resurrection - has never been told. Until now. * With 40 unseen photos, including from renowned rock photographer Dennis Morris This is the one.

On The Abolition of All Political Parties - Simone Weil
An NYRB Classics Original Simone Weil—philosopher, activist, mystic—is one of the most uncompromising of modern spiritual masters. In “On the Abolition of All Political Parties” she challenges the foundation of the modern liberal political order, making an argument that has particular resonance today, when the apathy and anger of the people and the self-serving partisanship of the political class present a threat to democracies all over the world. Dissecting the dynamic of power and propaganda caused by party spirit, the increasing disregard for truth in favor of opinion, and the consequent corruption of education, journalism, and art, Weil forcefully makes the case that a true politics can only begin where party spirit ends. This volume also includes an admiring portrait of Weil by the great poet Czeslaw Milosz and an essay about Weil’s friendship with Albert Camus by the translator Simon Leys.

All for Nothing - Walter Kempowski
In January 1945, the German army is retreating from the Russian advance. Germans are fleeing the occupied territories in their thousands, in cars and carts and on foot. But in a rural East Prussian manor house, the wealthy von Globig family seals itself off from the world. Protected from the deprivation and chaos around them, they make no preparations to leave until a decision to harbour a stranger for the night begins their undoing. Finally joining the great trek west, the remaining members of the family face at last the catastrophic consequences of the war. Profoundly evocative of the period, sympathetic yet painfully honest about the motivations of its characters, All for Nothing is a devastating portrait of the complicities and denials of the German people as the Third Reich comes to an end.

All About Nothing - Elizabeth Goss, Elizabeth Rusch
An artful picture book exploration of negative space and the beauty of nothingness. This mindful meditation encourages children to see the world differently.Nothing is really something! What might be hidden in the space around things, and how is that space important? In art, this is known as negative space, but “nothing” can be thought of more broadly—as free time during the day or the space between people. When we allow ourselves a moment of nothingness, we make room for creativity and so much more.

The Celts - Jenkins Simon
A WATERSTONES BEST HISTORY BOOK Simon Jenkins, as ever, writes with clarity and insight Times One of the liveliest commentators in Britain, always worth reading and pleasingly contrarian Jeremy Paxman, GuardianWho were the Celts? Were they a people, a civilisation, an empire, or a fiction of historical imagination? They flit as ghosts through Europe s ancient past, purported ancestors of the Irish, Welsh, Scottish, Cornish and Bretons.Yet they have never been identified with any one land, or with any one history or language.Simon Jenkins argues compellingly that the Celts is a misleading concept, bundling together quite distinct peoples. The word keltoi first appears in Greek, applied generally to aliens or barbarians - and theories of Celticism continue to fuel many of the prejudices and misconceptions that divide the British Isles to this day. Fascinating and increasingly relevant, who the Celts were - or weren t - goes to the heart of the ongoing argument over the future of a dis-United Kingdom.

The Subversive Simone Weil - Robert Zaretsky
Known as the â œpatron saint of all outsiders,â Simone Weil (1909â “43) was one of the twentieth centuryâ ™s most remarkable thinkers, a philosopher who truly lived by her political and ethical ideals. In a short life framed by the two world wars, Weil taught philosophy to lycée students and organized union workers, fought alongside anarchists during the Spanish Civil War and labored alongside workers on assembly lines, joined the Free French movement in London and died in despair because she was not sent to France to help the Resistance. Though Weil published little during her life, after her death, thanks largely to the efforts of Albert Camus, hundreds of pages of her manuscripts were published to critical and popular acclaim. While many seekers have been attracted to Weilâ ™s religious thought, Robert Zaretsky gives us a different Weil, exploring her insights into politics and ethics, and showing us a new side of Weil that balances her contradictionsâ ”the rigorous rationalist who also had her own brand of Catholic mysticism; the revolutionary with a soft spot for anarchism yet who believed in the hierarchy of labor; and the humanitarian who emphasized human needs and obligations over human rights. Reflecting on the relationship between thought and action in Weilâ ™s life, The Subversive Simone Weil honors the complexity of Weilâ ™s thought and speaks to why it matters and continues to fascinate readers today.  Â

Battle for the Museum - Rachel Spence
Culture and power have been bedfellows since ancient times. But now, more than ever, exhibits and the organizations responsible for them have become part of our troubled politics. Protests force out problematic patrons and curators, and pressure museums to abandon fossil fuel sponsorship. Campaigners demand equality and diversity, and condemn exploitation, of artists and staff alike. Those confronting racism and imperial legacies call for restitution of cultural objects. Arts journalist Rachel Spence has watched these institutions become a flashpoint for today s social divisions. She interviews those on the frontlines, from artists and activists to directors and donors, revealing stories of elitism, inequality and injustice. Business and finance launder their reputations through art fair and museum patronage, while governments bolster their authority by weaponizing or attacking the arts-and ordinary museumgoers mobilize to demand better. How did we get here, and what lies ahead for these institutions? From China and Russia to Cuba and New York, from the British Museum and the Louvre to the Guggenheim in Abu Dhabi, Battle for the Museum uncovers a dark nexus of capital, culture and power-and a radical shift in attitudes, driven by resistance movements fighting fiercely for exhibition spaces that serve today s public.

This is just one of the situations Grant Fowlds has put himself in as part of his ongoing fight against poaching, in order to prove a link between southern Africa and the illicit, lucrative trade in rhino horn in Vietnam.Shavings of rhino horn are sold as a snake-oil cure for colds or impotence, but a rhino s horn has no magical, medicinal properties. It is for this that rhinoceroses are being killed at an escalating rate that puts the survival of the species in jeopardy. This corrupt, illegal war on wildlife has brought an iconic animal to the brink of extinction.Growing up on a farm in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, Grant developed a deep love of nature, turning his back on hunting to focus on saving wildlife of all kinds and the environment that sustains both them and us. He is a passionate conservationist who puts himself on the front line of protecting rhinos in the wild - right now, against armed poachers; but in the longer term, too, through his work with schoolchildren, communities and policymakers.We are most grateful to photographer Gerhard van der Westhuizen for the use of his stunning photograph on the cover of the book.

The Songs That Saved Us - Simon McDermott
An unforgettable tribute to the unbreakable bond between a father and sonWhen Simon McDermott first noticed his dad Ted⠙s sudden flares of temper and fits of forgetfulness, he couldn⠙t have guessed what lay ahead. Then came the devastating, inevitable diagnosis of Alzheimer⠙s. The dad Simon knew seemed to be drifting further away, and he had no idea how to reach him.Then, one day in the car, Simon hit play on Ted⠙s favourite song. And just like that, they were simply two mates driving around Blackburn, singing at the top of their lungs. That moment would change the course of their lives forever.Simon filmed their adventure, uploaded the video to YouTube and woke up to messages, tweets and his phone ringing off the hook. Their carpool karaoke had gone viral all the way across the globe.But a record deal, Pride of Britain Awards, over £130,000 raised for The Alzheimer⠙s Society and a Top 10 single later, Simon was still losing Ted. That⠙s when he made a decision. His Dad ⠓ the storyteller of his childhood and his best friend ⠓ couldn⠙t tell his own story, so Simon would tell it for him. This is that story.Full of poignant moments, the ups and downs of family life and treasured memories, The Songaminute Man is a story of two halves: a celebration of the man Ted was, and a powerful and moving account of caring for a loved one.

AS FEATURED ON BBC2 S BETWEEN THE COVERS THE TIMES TOP 10 BESTSELLERA GUARDIAN, TELEGRAPH, THE TIMES, IRISH TIMES, ROUGH TRADE, MOJO, CLASH, ROLLING STONE, UNCUT BOOK OF THE YEARFrom award-winning musician and composer Warren Ellis comes the unexpected and inspiring story of a piece of chewing gum. FEATURING AN INTRODUCTION BY NICK CAVEâ ˜Warren has turned this memento, snatched from his idolâ ™s piano in a moment of rapture, into a genuine religious artefact.â ™NICK CAVE Such a mad, happy book about art and music and obsession. Iâ ™m so glad I got to read it. It made the world feel lighter. NEIL GAIMAN In praise of meaning-rich relics and magical things. Totally heartwarming project. MAX PORTER A unique study of a fanâ ™s devotion, of transcendence and of the artistic vocation â ” itâ ™s got depth and great warmth. Itâ ™s a beautiful piece of work. KEVIN BARRYI hadnâ ™t opened the towel that contained her gum since 2013. The last person to touch it was Nina Simone, her saliva and fingerprints unsullied. The idea that it was still in her towel was something I had drawn strength from. I thought each time I opened it some of Nina Simoneâ ™s spirit would vanish. In many ways that thought was more important than the gum itself.On Thursday 1 July, 1999, Dr Nina Simone gave a rare performance as part of Nick Cave s Meltdown Festival. After the show, in a state of awe, Warren Ellis crept onto the stage, took Dr Simone s piece of chewed gum from the piano, wrapped it in her stage towel and put it in a Tower Records bag. The gum remained with him for twenty years; a sacred totem, his creative muse, a conduit that would eventually take Ellis back to his childhood and his relationship with found objects, growing in significance with every passing year.Nina Simoneâ ™s Gum is about how something so small can form beautiful connections between people. It is a story about the meaning we place on things, on experiences, and how they become imbued with spirituality. It is a celebration of artistic process, friendship, understanding and love. This is such a beautiful f*@king book. Thank you, Warren. I highly recommend this motherf*@ker. FLEA A beautifully written book about the power of music and objects. I powered through it in two days. COURTNEY BARNETT A moving, inspiration insight into a beautiful mind. JIM JARMUSCH The year s most eccentric and joyful musical memoir. DAILY TELEGRAPH (Books of the year) [Nina Simone s Gum] is a metaphor for [Ellis ] creativity â ” the blossoming of a small idea into something bigger and bolder â ” but also a journey inside the impulsive, improvisatory mind of Warren Ellis, his passions, obsessions and superstitions. OBSERVER [A] beautiful, strikingly idiosyncratic book â ” part memoir, part essay, part conceptual art project, all testament to humans at their strangest and best . . . [Ellis] sees signifiance where others might not. MOJO A glorious piece of object fetishism . . . Marvel as Ellis collection of eccentric personal mementos morphs into a celebration of the intangible wonder of music. UNCUT Wonderful. THE TIMES The most peculiar book I ve ever read. CRAIG BROWN, MAIL ON SUNDAY Delightful . . . A joy from start to finish. BIG ISSUE A joyous work full of love, connection, creativity and gratitude. THE SPECTATOR Completely charming and joyful . . . glorious. LA REVIEW OF BOOKS Beautiful . . . remarkable. NEW EUROPEAN

I Put A Spell On You - Nina Simone
James Baldwin used to tell Nina Simone, This is the world you have made for yourself, now you have to live in it. Simone has created for herself a world of magnificent peaks. Often compared to Billie Holiday and Edith Piaf, Simone is known as one of the greatest singers of her generation. She has recorded forty-three albums, ranging from blues to jazz to folk, and her hits like I Loves You, Porgy, My Baby Just Cares for Me, I Put a Spell on You, and Mississippi Goddam have confirmed her as an enduring force in popular music. Her song Young, Gifted, and Black became the anthem for the Civil Rights Movement and thrust her beyond international stardom into the center of activism. But such worlds as Simone s are not without their grim valleys: disastrous marriages, arrest and the threat of imprisonment, mental breakdown, poverty, and attempted suicide. She has survived these trials and continues to perform throughout Europe and the United States. With undiminished passion and in her unconquerable voice, this is Nina Simone s powerful memoir of her tempestuous life.

Lídři jedí poslední - Simon Sinek - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Jak vybuduji stabilní a a výkonný tým, ve kterém všichni usilují o dosažení společného cíle? Kde nepanuje cynismus a sobectví? Kde jsou si kolegové oporou? Simon Sinek, autor bestselleru Začněte s proč, studoval množství firem, v jejichž čele stojí lídři, kterým více než na sobě a na krátkodobých ziscích záleží na zaměstnancích. Své poznatky pak zpracoval do nové knihy Lídři jedí poslední, kde se jimi můžete inspirovat i vy. Armáda má jasno: důstojníci jedí poslední! Co je v jídelně spíše symbolickým gestem, dostává na bitevním poli vážnější rozměr. Ti nejlepší lídři obětují vlastní pohodlí a bezpečí pro dobro těch, kterým velí. Budují ve své firmě důvěru, pocit jistoty a podporují spolupráci. Jejich zaměstnanci pak táhnou za jeden provaz a dokážou čelit vnějším výzvám. Firmy jsou stabilní a dlouhodobě úspěšné. Tento princip používá lidstvo od dob lovců a sběračů a Simon Sinek ukazuje, že platí stále, možná víc než kdy jindy.

Sinek zformuloval a popularizoval koncept „zlatého kruhu“, v jehož středu stojí „proč - vnitřní smysl existence nebo práce jednotlivce. Vzděláním je etnograf, a tak ho nepřestávají fascinovat lidé a organizace. Spolupracuje se společností Ernst Young, jíž pomáhá měnit firemní kulturu, nebo s renomovanou RAND Corporation. Spolupracuje nebo spolupracoval i s dalšími firmami a organizacemi, mezi nimi figurují například Microsoft, Disney, Mars, KPMG, Pfizer nebo americká armáda.
