In the tradition of The Empathy Exams and Uncommon Measures, Look Out is a profound and prismatic investigation of taking the long view.Look Out is an investigation of long-distance mapping, aerial photography, and top-down perspectives—from pre–Civil War America to our vexed modern times of drone warfare, hyper-surveillance at home and abroad, and quarantine and protest. Blending history, reporting, personal experience, and accounts of activists, programmers, spies, architects, artists, and entrepreneurs, Edward McPherson reveals that to see is to control—and the stakes are high for everyone. The aerial view—a position known in Greek as the catascopos, or “the looker-down”—is a fundamentally privileged perspective, inaccessible to those left on the ground. To the earthbound, (in)sights from such rarified heights convey power and authority. McPherson casts light on our fetishization of distance as a path to truth and considers the awe and apocalypse of taking the long view.

For fans of Educated and The Sound of Gravel, The Dirt Beneath Our Door tells the remarkable and inspirational story of how a mother escaped a fundamentalist Mormon cult with her eight youngest children, only to struggle with newfound freedom in an America she barely knew. Sixty-one siblings. Five sister wives. Nine children. And one carefully hidden dream: To escape the violent, misogynistic, fundamentalist Mormon cult that kept Pamela Jones perpetually pregnant, broken, and brutalized.Today, Pamela Jones is a self-made millionaire and successful CEO. But growing up, she never could have imagined her life would turn out that way. From a young age, she was told her only purpose in life was to be her husband’s handmaid and bear him as many children as possible. While she endured fear, poverty, deprivation, and abuse, her family constantly moved between rural desert compounds in the United States and Mexico, one step ahead of the law and one step ahead of Ervil LeBaron, aka “The Mormon Charles Manson”—the cult’s frightening leader whose brutal blood atonements left a trail of bodies in his wake. By the time she was newly married at fifteen, Pamela’s husband forbade her any contact with outsiders, including her own family. She’d been raised to believe that her throat would be slit and her blood sprinkled on the soil if she ever tried to escape. But in 2000 at age thirty-four, she knew that if she and her children didn’t escape, they would die. The Dirt Beneath the Door follows their desperate flight across the Mexican border with only the clothes on their backs, two vehicles and two tanks of gas, a five-dollar bill, and two credit cards her husband had secretly taken out in her name. Once settling in Minnesota, Pamela must use her own resilience and grit as a mother to support her children and build an independent life for her family with less than a fifth-grade education–all while exploring the life and liberties that had been denied to her for so long. An unforgettable testament to the power of hope and resilience, The Dirt Beneath Our Door is an epic and harrowing tale of finding freedom, believing in yourself, and achieving the American Dream.

Contingents from Great Britain, Nazi Germany, and the United States had set up rival camps at the base of the mountains, all hoping to become recognized as the fastest, strongest, and bravest climbers in the world.Carried on across nearly the entire sweep of the Himalayas, this contest involved not only the greatest mountain climbers of the era, but statesmen and millionaires, world-class athletes and bona fide eccentrics, scientists and generals, obscure villagers and national heroes. Centered in the 1930s, with one brief, shining postwar coda, the contest was a struggle between hidebound traditionalists and unknown innovators, one that featured new techniques and equipment, unbelievable courage and physical achievement, and unparalleled valor. And death. One Himalayan peak alone, Nanga Parbat in Kashmir, claimed twenty-five lives in less than three years.Climbing the Himalayas was the Greatest Generation''s moonshot--one shrouded in the onset of war, interrupted by it, and then fully accomplished. A gritty, fascinating history that promises to enrapture fans of Hampton Side, Jon Krakauer, and Laura Hillenbrand, The World Beneath Their Feet brings this forgotten story back to life.

Co když Deep State nejsou, jak se někteří snaží naznačit, nevo-lení vládní úředníci, zpravidla z tajných zpravodajských služeb a armády, kteří se pohybují mimo právní stát? Co když jsou součástí Deep State do značné míry i zlomyslné složky federální vlády, které by však měly být považovány za nejlepší ze služebnictva - nikoli za pány? Co když Deep State začíná u jedné z největších světových církví a jedné z nejmocnějších světových rodin, které ovládají Londýn a Wall Street i centrální banky - všechny v soukromém vlastnictví - ve všech zemích světa? Co když se vládám nepodařilo znárodnit centrální banky a Deep State tak zůstane pod kontrolou jedné z největších církví světa a jedné z nejmocnějších rodin s jejich osobně jmenovanými agenty v celém světě financí? Co když se největší zločiny proti lidstvu odehrávají na bankovní úrovni, kde jsou bankéři schopni manipulovat s úrokovými sazbami a devizovými kurzy, vytvářet miliardy v digitální hotovosti bez zázemí, vyrábět "deriváty", které prodávají nevědomým investorům, a rozpoutávat války s cílem ovlivnit cenu ropy a dalších komodit? Co když jsou pod bankéři politické strany, zpravidla dvě strany v každé zemi, které se spikly, aby vyloučily z moci všechny ostatní politické strany a nezávislé? Co když ve Spojených státech ovládá jedna strana 17 % oprávněných voličů a druhá velká strana 13 % oprávněných voličů? Co když dalších 20 procent patří k malým stranám, zatímco plných 50 procent je nezávislých, bez stranických preferencí nebo bez zájmu? Co když lze předpokládat, že mnoho aktivních politiků je zkompromitovaných? Co když jsou upláceni nebo vydíráni z více stran, včetně tajných zpravodajských služeb vlastních i jiných zemí? Co když jsou spolu s politickými stranami rovnocenné i tajné zpravodajské služby? Co když se tajné zpravodajské služby kromě špehování a vydírání politiků a soudců zabývají i obchodem s drogami, nelegálním obchodem se zbraněmi, praním špinavých peněz a zneužíváním dětí (pedofilií) jako prostředkem manipulace s konkrétními osobami? Co když jsou "mainstreamová média" spoluviníky bankovních, politických a zpravodajských Co když veřejnosti sdělují širokou škálu nepravdivých informací a mísí širokou škálu bezduché zábavy s naprosto "falešnými zprávami", zatímco nedokážou dělat seriózní investigativní zpravodajství nebo poskytnout jakýkoli základ pro občany, kteří chtějí být informováni o aktuálních událostech, skutečných nákladech politiky a dalších věcech? Co když se na narativu Deep State podílejí i univerzity? Co když je většina vyučovaných dějin lež? Co když si jen málokdo uvědomu-je, že Pulitzerova cena byla vytvořena na počest člověka, který vymyslel "žlutou žurnalistiku", původní "fake news", v níž se masiv-ně lže, aby se ospravedlnily války? Co když univerzity po celá desetiletí odmítaly skutečně studovat a zveřejňovat skutečné náklady na konkrétní politiky, výrobky a chování, protože byly motivovány komerčními zájmy, aby přehlížely skutečnost, že většina toho, co Západ produkuje, je nehospodárná a škodlivá pro lidské zdraví a životní prostředí? Co když se na Deep State podílejí i některá náboženství? Co když jsou využívána k utěšování a rozptýlení mas a nabízejí příslib posmrtného života, který má snížit požadavky na ekonomickou a sociální spravedlnost v tomto životě? Co když je Deep State, zjednodušeně řečeno, souhrn vládních institucí, které slouží k soustředění bohatství a moci mezi 1 % lidí a zároveň vylučují 99 % lidí z možnosti účinně se vyjádřit a hlasovat? Co když je Deep State náš společný nepřítel? Co když máme my, lidé, moc říci Deep State ne? Co když my, lidé, máme moc požado-vat reformu voleb? Co když my lidé máme moc požadovat, aby byla obnovena integrita naší vlády, naší ekonomiky a naší společnosti?

Bass player extraordinaire Charles Mingus, who died in 1979, is one of the essential composers in the history of jazz, and Beneath the Underdog, his celebrated, wild, funny, demonic, anguished, shocking and profoundly moving memoir, is the greatest autobiography ever written by a jazz musician. It tells of his God-haunted childhood in Watts during the 1920s and 1930s; his outcast adolescent years; his apprenticeship, not only with jazzmen but also with pimps, hookers, junkies, and hoodlums; and his golden years in New York City with such legendary figures as Duke Ellington, Lionel Hampton, Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, and Dizzy Gillespie. Here is Mingus in his own words, from shabby roadhouses to fabulous estates, from the psychiatric wards of Bellevue to worlds of mysticism and solitude, but for all his travels never straying too far, always returning to music.

“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk: every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness.” —Søren Kierkegaard Duncan Minshull has always walked and in the last twenty years has made use of it by writing and publishing books on the subject. He has described the whys, hows, and wheres of traveling on foot for various magazines and newspapers, including The Times (London), the Financial Times, Condé Nast Traveler, and Vogue. He has edited two other collections on walking: While Wandering: A Walking Companion (originally The Vintage Book of Walking) and The Burning Leg: Walking Scenes from Classic Fiction.Walking and writing have always gone together. Think of the poets who walk out a rhythm for their lines and the novelists who put their characters on a path. But the best insights, the deepest and most joyous examinations of this simple activity are to be found in nonfiction—in essays, travelogues, and memoirs.Beneath My Feet: Writers on Walking rounds up the most memorable walker-writers from the 1700s to the modern day, from country hikers to urban strollers, from the rationalists to the truly outlandish. Follow in the footsteps of William Hazlitt, George Sand, Rebecca Solnit, Will Self, and dozens of others. Keep up with them—and be astonished.
