#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER * INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Following Chris Wallace’s “riveting” (The New York Times) and “propulsive” (Time) first book Countdown 1945 comes a deeply reported, revelatory, and thrillingly told account of the final months of the hunt for Osama bin Laden.On August 27, 2010, three CIA officers ask for a private meeting with CIA Director Leon Panetta. During that secret session, they tell Panetta that agents have tracked a courier with deep Al Qaeda ties to a three-story house at the end of a dead-end street in Abbottabad, Pakistan. But they say it’s more than a house—it’s a heavily protected fortress. No one in the meeting says the name bin Laden. They don’t have to. Everyone understands that finally, after nearly a decade, maybe, just maybe, they’ve found the world’s most wanted man. In Countdown bin Laden, celebrated journalist and CNN anchor and Max host Chris Wallace delivers a vivid account of the final eight months of intelligence gathering, national security strategizing, and meticulous military planning that leads to the climactic mission when SEAL Team Six closes in on its target. The book delivers new information collected from Wallace’s in-depth interviews with more than a dozen central ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The world’s leading expert on Osama bin Laden delivers for the first time the “riveting” (The New York Times) definitive biography of a man who set the course of American foreign policy for the 21st century and whose ideological heirs we continue to battle today.In The Rise and Fall of Osama bin Laden, Peter Bergan provides the first reevaluation of the man responsible for precipitating America’s long war with al-Qaeda and its decedents, capturing bin Laden in all the dimensions of his life: as a family man, as a zealot, as a battlefield commander, as a terrorist leader, and as a fugitive. The book sheds light on his many contradictions: he was the son of a billionaire yet insisted his family live like paupers. He adored his wives and children, depending on his two wives, both of whom had PhDs, to make critical strategic decisions. Yet, he also brought ruin to his family. He was fanatically religious but willing to kill thousands of civilians in the name of Islam. He inspired deep loyalty, yet, in the end, his bodyguards turned against him.

"The Malay Archipelago" is a two-volume book written by British naturalist and explorer Alfred Russel Wallace. The book recounts Wallace's travels through the Malay Archipelago (present-day Indonesia, Malaysia, and surrounding areas) between 1854 and 1862. In Volume 1, Wallace describes his journey through the Malay Archipelago, documenting the flora and fauna he encountered and the people and cultures he encountered along the way. He provides detailed accounts of his adventures, including his encounters with orangutans, his travels along the rivers of Borneo, and his interactions with the indigenous peoples of the region. Are you interested in learning about the flora and fauna of Malay? One of the key themes of the book is Wallace's observations on the distribution of animal species across the region. The author observed that there were distinct regions with their own unique animal populations, which he called "zoological provinces". Throughout the book, Wallace also reflects on the impact of colonialism and the exploitation of natural resources in the region and offers insights into the social and cultural practices of the indigenous peoples he encountered.

An unforgettable account of how misguided and illegal U.S. policies in Central America during the 1980s resulted in tens of thousands of deaths, created many of today’s problems along America’s Southern Border, and helped perpetuate a legacy of hawkish militarism at the expense of democracy and diplomacy.During the 1980s, the United States financed and directed wars against popular movements in Central America. Vowing to block “Soviet expansion,” the U.S. waged a Vietnam-style counterinsurgency in El Salvador while orchestrating a covert and illegal war to overthrow the Sandinista government in Nicaragua. Some 75,000 died in El Salvador, and more than 30,000 were killed in Nicaragua, most of them civilians. Countless more were displaced. Meanwhile, with tacit U.S. support, the Guatemalan military razed hundreds of Indigenous communities and killed more than 200,000 people during a civil war that claimed the lives of 100,000 Mayan villagers.Scott Wallace arrived in Central America in 1983 to cover these conflicts as a freelance “stringer” for CBS News and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution as well as Newsweek, The Independent, and The Guardian. Traveling along the frontlines of war, Wallace evolved a distinctive reporting style that included photojournalistic portraits of startling intimacy, page-turning tales of high adventure, and incisive ...

Jedním z dogmat sunnitů je, že islámští racionalisté (arabsky zvaní mutazilci) se svým učením odchýlili od původního islámu, a to z důvodu, že měli přijmout řeckou filozofii. Podle těchto „ortodoxních“ muslimů je tak mutazilský směr islámu sektou odchýlenou od islámu. Tento pohled přijali ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A look at the history and myth of the objective journalist and how this ideal has been used to silence marginalized voices.  In The View from Somewhere, Lewis Raven Wallace dives deep into the history of “objectivity” in journalism and how its been used to gatekeep and silence marginalized writers as far back as Ida B. Wells. At its core, this is a book about fierce journalists who have pursued truth and transparency and sometimes been punished for it—not just by tyrannical governments but by journalistic institutions themselves. He highlights the stories of journalists who question “objectivity” with sensitivity and passion: Desmond Cole of the Toronto Star; New York Times reporter Linda Greenhouse; Pulitzer Prize-winner Rachel Kaadzi Ghansah; Peabody-winning podcaster John Biewen; Guardian correspondent Gary Younge; former Buzzfeed reporter Meredith Talusan; and many others.

This celebrated collection of essays from the author of Infinite Jest is "brilliantly entertaining...Consider the Lobster proves once more why Wallace should be regarded as this generation's best comic writer" (Cleveland Plain Dealer). Do lobsters feel pain? Did Franz Kafka have a funny bone? What is John Updike's deal, anyway? And what happens when adult video starlets meet their fans in person? David Foster Wallace answers these questions and more in essays that are also enthralling narrative adventures. Whether covering the three-ring circus of John McCain's 2000 presidential race, plunging into the wars between dictionary writers, or confronting the World's Largest Lobster Cooker at the annual Maine Lobster Festival, Wallace projects a quality of thought that is uniquely his and a voice as powerful and distinct as any in American letters."Wallace can do sad, funny, silly, heartbreaking, and absurd with equal ease; he can even do them all at once." --Michiko Kakutani, New York Times

Je to mnohem horší, než jste si mysleli… Snad nejzrádnější stránkou klimatické krize je její nenápadnost a zdánlivá pomalost. Roční období se střídají, moře zůstává na svém místě, někdy prší méně, někdy více. To jen v médiích se míhá kaleidoskop apokalypsy: tající permafrost, hořící lesy, ubývající ledovce, města bez vody. Oteplování planety se z hlediska každodenního života zdá být nahodilým označením nespojitých katastrof. Mezinárodní bestseller Neobyvatelná Země tento dojem nemilosrdně vyvrací. Novinář David Wallace-Wells přečetl stovky analýz a vyzpovídal desítky vědců, aby obyvatelům Země vystavil drsný účet: nejenže všechno souvisí se vším, ale krize se brzy projeví i v oné zatím nedotčené každodennosti. Wallace-Wellsův cestopis po blízké budoucnosti tak líčí pandemie, nedostatek potravin a politický kolaps - je to volání po změně, které už nelze ignorovat. Pokud nechceme, aby nás vnoučata proklínala, tak bychom si raději měli přečíst tuhle knihu. - Timothy Snyder, historik Ať už jste zprávy o klimatických změnách zaspali, nebo se jim vyhýbáte, tato kniha vás probere. A jestli jste do současného klimatického dramatu ponořeni, Wallace-Wellsův hlas a perspektiva vás ještě víc vyburcuje. - The Guardian

Reeder a jedna wallaceovka navíc: Honba za pokladem s Davidem Viktorou.Inspektora Reedera stvořil nejplodnější detektivní autor všech dob, Edgar Wallace, který sám prožil osud hodný svých pozdějších hrdinů. Nevěděl přesně ani kdy se narodil, ukončil pouze čtyři třídy základní školy, byl kuchařským pomocníkem na lodi, vojákem, válečným dopisovatelem a mezinárodním reportérem, ale prřdevším otcem stosedmdesáti kriminálních románů, šestnácti divadelních her, stovek povídek a filmových scénářů.Jeho miliónové honoráře se rozplynuly jako dým na dostizích, a když zemřel, zůstalo po něm půl miliónu dluhů. Snad právě proto je inspektor Reeder, trochu suchar a puntičkář jeho pravým protikladem.
