Gimson's Presidents - Andrew Gimson

'Crisp and witty' Charles Moore, Spectator'A brilliant survey of the occupants of the Oval Office' Daniel Johnson, Article'Witty and succinct with splendid caricatures' Tibor Fischer, CriticA spirited and entertaining aide-memoire offering 44 short, fascinating accounts of each president, from George Washington and Abraham Lincoln to Barack Obama and Donald Trump, bringing the United States' political history to life as never before. Who can name the eight presidents before Lincoln, or the eight presidents after him? Historians tend to shed light on just a handful of leaders: Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and perhaps half a dozen others within living memory, leaving at least 30 holders of office if not in total darkness, then at least in deep shadow. Helping to bring these forgotten figures into the light, Andrew Gimson's illuminating accounts are accompanied by sketches from Guardian sartirical cartoonist, Martin Rowson, making this the perfect gift for all lovers of history and politics - the experienced and the novice, the serious and the silly. The Sunday Times bestselling Gimson's Prime Ministers and Gimson's Kings & Queens are also available.

Boris Johnson - Andrew Gimson

'Entertaining...essential...peppered with brilliant observations' Tim Shipman, Sunday Times Andrew Gimson, whose previous book Boris is the essential read on Johnson's earlier career, returns with a penetrating and entertaining new account of Boris Johnson's turbulent time as prime minister, from the highs of a landslide election victory to the lows of his car-crash resignation. In Boris Johnson: The Rise and Fall of a Troublemaker at Number 10, Gimson sets out to discover how a man dismissed as a liar, charlatan and tasteless joke was able, despite being written off more frequently than any other British politician of the twenty-first century, to become prime minister. During his ascent, Johnson benefited from being regarded as a clown, for this meant his opponents failed to take him seriously, while his supporters delighted in his ability to shock and enrage the Establishment. He even changed the language of politics; a new word, ‘cakeism’, entered the English lexicon to describe his implausible but seductive claim during the Brexit negotiations that it was possible to have one’s cake and eat it. In a series of brilliant vignettes, Gimson sheds light on the parts played by sex, greed, boredom and low seriousness in Johnson’s rise and fall, describes ... Unknown localization key: "more"

THE MAKING OF A PRIME MINISTER 'My biography of the year' Michael Crick 'The scariest thing I've read since Silence of the Lambs' Ken Livingstone A brilliant and definitive biography of Boris Johnson, the politician who risked his career to lead the Brexit campaign, won the referendum, and finally became the new prime minister. In Andrew Gimson's acclaimed biography of the most colourful British politician of modern times, we are given a comprehensive portrait of the man. Despite tabloid controversies which led to him being dismissed from Michael Howard's shadow cabinet, Boris bounced back to win two terms as London mayor.

This updated edition of the book is a comprehensive insight into the dramatic political events of 2016. After Boris decided to join the Brexit campaign, which he led with Michael Gove, against all the predictions he secured a historic vote to leave the EU.

All the Presidents' Money - Megan Gorman

A USA TODAY AND PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BESTSELLER A journey through the personal money stories of the US presidents and how they built wealth—or didn’t.Was Harry Truman really our poorest president or simply a man up at 2 a.m. struggling with financial anxiety? Did Calvin Coolidge get bad advice from his stockbroker to buy stocks in 1930 as the market continued to crash? Is it true George Washington enhanced his net worth by marrying up? We often think of the US presidents as being above the fray. But the truth is, the presidents are just like us—worried about money, trying to keep a budget, and chasing the American financial dream. While some presidents like Herbert Hoover and Gerald Ford became wildly successful with money, others like Thomas Jefferson and Joe Biden struggled to sustain their lifestyle. The ability to win the presidency is no guarantee of financial security, although today it’s a much easier path to monetize. In All the Presidents’ Money, tax attorney and wealth manager Megan Gorman takes us on a journey to understand the different personal money stories of the presidents.

Off The Rails - Sally Gimson

Britain: from railway pioneers to the fiascos of HS2‘High Speed 2’ was to be the crown jewel of British rail Bringing the antiquated and unreliable north-west line up to date, it would connect central London with Manchester and Leeds via Birmingham, reducing travel time and combatting the North–South divide. It was, however, not to be. Dogged by mismanagement, overspending and incompetence, HS2 has collapsed, reduced to a much smaller line connecting Birmingham with the outskirts of London – Euston, the central London terminus, still seemingly unreachable. All of this has cost taxpayers around sixty-six billion pounds. In a forensic examination of how the project imploded, Sally Gimson meets with the politicians, engineers and ordinary people affected by the failure of HS2. From those whose business and houses were compulsorily bought to make room for the line to the scattering of ghost towns which punctuate the now cancelled Northern branch, Off the Rails offers a thorough and scathing account of how a vital project was overcome by government mismanagement.

"If you only read one book to understand how Democrats will, and should, pick a new nominee—and the stakes of the general election—read Picking Presidents, which explains how to judge if a Presidential candidate is worthy of sitting in the Oval Office."—Thomas L. Friedman, New York Times columnist and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and authorCelebrated leadership expert and political scientist Gautam Mukunda provides a comprehensive, objective, and non-partisan method for answering the most important question in the world: is someone up to the job of president of the United States?  In Picking Presidents, Gautam Mukunda sets his sights on presidential candidates, proposing an objective and tested method to assess whether they will succeed or fail if they win the White House. Combining political science, psychology, organizational behavior, and economics, Picking Presidents will enable every American to cast an informed vote.  In his 2012 book Indispensable, which all but predicted the Trump presidency, Mukunda explained how both the very best and very worst leaders are "unfiltered"—outsiders who take power without the understanding or support of traditional elites.

Backlash Presidents - Julia R. Azari

How most presidents avoid upsetting the racial status quo—and why those who do pave the way for lawless, norm-violating successorsWhen Barack Obama won the White House in 2008, becoming the nation’s first Black president, the stage was set for Donald Trump’s eventual rise to power. Backlash Presidents shows how, throughout American history, administrations that challenge the country’s racial status quo are followed by presidents who deal in racially charged politics and presidential lawlessness, culminating in impeachment crises. In this incisive book, Julia Azari traces the connections between racially transformative presidents and their successors, examining the presidencies of Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson, Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon, and Obama and Trump. When he signed long-awaited civil rights legislation in 1964, Lyndon Johnson unleashed a perfect political storm that swept Nixon into the White House. Azari demonstrates how Nixon’s rhetoric, relationship to Congress, and attitudes about executive power exhibit striking parallels with Andrew Johnson and Trump. She discusses how their actions are linked to race and racialized institutions—the Department of War during Reconstruction, the FBI during the Nixon years, and elections today—and looks at what happens after impeachment, describing how the rush to establish a new order perpetuates many of the ...

All the Presidents' Bankers - Nomi Prins

A groundbreaking narrative of how an elite group of men transformed the American economy and government, dictated foreign and domestic policy, and shaped world history. Culled from original presidential archival documents, All the Presidents'' Bankers delivers an explosive account of the hundred-year interdependence between the White House and Wall Street that transcends a simple analysis of money driving politics-or greed driving bankers. Nomi Prins ushers us into the intimate world of exclusive clubs, vacation spots, and Ivy League universities that binds presidents and financiers. She unravels the multi-generational blood, intermarriage, and proté relationships that have confined national influence to a privileged cluster of people. These families and individuals recycle their power through elected office and private channels in Washington, DC. From the Panic of 1907 to the financial crisis of 2008, this unprecedented history of American power illuminates how the same financiers retained their authoritative position through history, swaying presidents regardless of party affiliation. All the Presidents'' Bankers explores the alarming global repercussions of a system lacking barriers between public office and private power. Prins leaves us with an ominous choice: either we break the alliances of the power elite, or they will break us.

FBI má ovšem eso v rukávu – agentku Jessicu Blackwoodovou, bývalou nadanou kouzelnici z proslulé dynastie iluzionistů, která přednedávnem vyřešila případ tajemného Čaroděje a která díky svému nadání i zkušenostem dokáže rozpoznat, když věci nejsou takové, jaké se zdají být. Jessica je přesvědčená, že klíčem k záhadě je stará magnetofonová kazeta, a rozplétáním událostí, jež jsou na nahrávce zachycené, odhalí něco hodně znepokojivého – čin s dalekosáhlými důsledky. Mladá agentka se pouští po stopách zla, vedoucích ze Západní Virginie do Mexika, Miami, a dokonce až do posvátných síní Vatikánu, aby zastavila chladnokrevného vraha, posedlého smrtelným hříchem… „Svižný thriller, v němž jsou iluze zbraněmi dobra i zla.“ – Publishers Weekly. „Zápletka, která má spád, a inteligentní hlavní hrdinka ‒ to jsou ingredience adrenalinového příběhu s nečekaným zvratem.

A nedlouho poté je nalezena mrtvola neznámé ženy, která popisem odpovídá útočnici, s níž se Jessica střetla. Vyšetřování série zdánlivě nesouvisejících, ale stejně tak bizarních a temných zločinů zavede Jessicu do coloradské pouště a do vísky, po níž se jednoduše slehla zem, a mladá agentka zjišťuje, že se bude muset popasovat s něčím chmurnějším a mocnějším, než by kdokoliv čekal. S něčím tak zvráceným, že za tím může stát jen jediný člověk – Čaroděj. Audiokniha: Andrew Mayne: Pád do temnoty | Překlad Milan Lžička | Čte Jana ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Láska je orientácia - Andrew Marin

Ide o jednu z najdôležitejších diskusií v súčasnej cirkvi. A najkontroverznejších. Andrew Marin do nej vnáša svieži, vľúdny a novátorský hlas. Nevníma túto tému len ako nejakú pálčivú „otázku“ – vidí za ňou tvár, priateľa, Božie dieťa. Vidí za ňou Ježiša, ktorého láska je pre mnohých ťažko uchopiteľná, pretože u jeho nasledovníkov sa stretli s niečím iným.Andrew nám pripomína, že či už sme ladení konzervatívne alebo liberálne, môžeme mať skvelé myšlienky, a predsa byť krutí a samospravodliví. To, že sme kresťania, však ľudia nespoznajú podľa toho, čo citujeme, ale podľa našej lásky.Na konci knihy vás Andrew nebude žiadať, aby ste súhlasili s jeho názormi na gejskú a lesbickú orientáciu alebo životný štýl. Vlastne vás nezahrnie ani množstvom polemických názorov. Pokúsi sa pomôcť vám pochopiť, čo sa naučil počúvaním s otvoreným a chápavým srdcom voči lesbám a gejom. A tiež sa pokúsi pomôcť vám reagovať na gejov a lesby vo vašom svete zrelšie a chápavejšie. Na záver vás požiada, aby ste sa zhodli na jednej hlavnej veci: že pre skutočných Ježišových nasledovníkov je jedinou správnou cestou orientácia a životný štýl lásky.Brian McLarenAndrew Marin je prezidentom a zakladateľom The Marin Foundation.

Yorkshire - Andrew Martin

In Yorkshire: There and Back, Andrew Martin celebrates Britain''s most charismatic county, looking back at the Yorkshire of his 1970s childhood and as it is today.Journeying to every historic corner, Martin writes affectionally about its past, present and peculiarities. York is an evolving city of chocolate, trains, pubs and tourists. Scarborough should be viewed as the posh place it once was, with surprising secrets pertaining to Adolf Hitler and the sea. Leeds is seen as the ''hard'' town with its party goers and late-night provocateurs, but its indoor market never fails to offer a sense of quintessential Yorkshireness on a rainy Saturday afternoon, with milky tea served in beakers and the Leeds United result coming through by osmosis. And the Moors and Dales continue to boast beauty and danger alike.Effortlessly entertaining and wonderfully detailed, Yorkshire: There and Back is a memoir, guide, and all-round appreciation of ''God''s own county''.Praise for Andrew Martin''There is no one else who is writing like Andrew Martin today...unique and important'' Guardian''Iconoclastic, entertaining and often devastatingly witty'' Barry Forshaw, Independent''He can stop you in your tracks with a well-turned phrase'' Sunday Times''A genuinely funny writer...also a daring one'' The Times
